Chapter 30: The Troubles of Luxury
In Ouyang Yun's plan, the Cadet Corps and even the 29th Army will be redressed in the near future - aren't the Japanese known as having excellent weapons, aircraft, artillery, and tanks? It's a shame, Lao Tzu stole a few high-quality weapons, such as the Soviet AK-47 assault rifle and the German improved MG42 general-purpose machine gun; When Lao Tzu has money, and then get an improved Soviet T-34 tank to come out, dozens of planes and the like can be built, and the fourth-generation aircraft will be exempted, an impossible task, and the fire control of the third-generation aircraft seems to be unlikely, but you can always imitate the shape and engine, right?
- At that time, hehe, little Japan will wait for the crying father to be beaten!
One night, Ouyang Yun, who was holding the computer in his hand, fell asleep in such a beautiful YY. After that night, the idea took root in his mind, and he couldn't help but have a soft spot for machining machinery such as machine tools.
It was an unexpected joy to know Chang Zhi'an, the 25th Division and his party, guns and the like, even if they got a punch press and a few lathes and milling machines, this inevitably made Ouyang Yun feel overjoyed, this thing cannot be made in China, it can only rely on imports, and it is good to say in peacetime, in case of war, if you want to import, you may not be able to find a way. That's why he was so nervous about them, and as soon as he returned to the station, he immediately asked the cadets to unload them first, and then personally opened a barrel of oil, found a brush, and oiled all the machine tools.
His move fell into the eyes of Chang Zhi'an, who was stunned for a moment, and wondered: Didn't he buy it as scrap iron? How? I vaguely feel fooled.
Ouyang Yun got his things, so he didn't care what people thought of him, so he asked Liu Zheliang to lead the chief to go to the office of the regiment headquarters to drink tea first, and then concentrate on continuing the work at hand until all the critical parts of the machine tool were oiled, and then wipe his hands with a rag and go back to the office.
After Chang Zhi'an sat down and drank a cup of tea, he understood that his brothers were calculated by Ouyang Yun, what kind of scrap iron did this kid collect, and he obviously treated their brothers as scrap iron. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't drink the tea. When Ouyang Yun appeared at the door, he happened to see him slamming the teacup on the table, obviously preparing to flash.
Ouyang Yun knew that the Taoist people saw the mystery, and hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to take his hand and said very sincerely: "Brother Chang, the younger brother knows that he is wrong, and he will pay a loss here." You know, the 29th Army is too poor, so ah, this broken gun or something, as long as it has not completely turned into scrap metal, we have to find a way to repair it, these machine tools of your army are idle, and sell them to us just to let them exert their residual heat. β
The reason why Chang Zhi'an was angry was because he felt that he respected him as a hero and wanted to make friends sincerely, and he shouldn't hide these things from himself. But, you, you're playing my Chang brothers like monkeys! β
This was too serious, Ouyang Yun hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Brother Chang, don't I want to save two dollars for the army?" You know, our 29th Army is poor! β
Only at this moment, he had already said two sentences that the 29th Army was poor, Chang Zhi'an thought about it, it was not the central lineage, and he had to find his own way to equip the military salary or something, as if he heard that the 29th Army's Xifengkou victory was cut out with a big knife, thinking of this, his heart softened, and he almost wanted to take out the gold bar that Ouyang Yun had honored himself before and return it to others, and then think about the 29th Army that took advantage of this business, he forcibly suppressed this impulse, and said: "Okay, okay, don't always cry with me poor, like this, The Second Division is also going to evacuate Hebei anyway, and some things will definitely not be taken away, do you want to? I have acquaintances in it, and it must be easy to say in terms of price," his tone was a little strange when he said this, "I guess it's the price of scrap iron!" β
"Poof!" Liu Zheliang, who had been standing upright on the side, couldn't help but wonder.
Ouyang Yun also smiled, afraid that Chang Zhi'an would misunderstand his smile, so he took his hand and tightened it, and said sincerely: "Then thank you so much, Brother Chang, when will you have time?" If it's convenient, I'd like to check it out right now. You know, Commander He and the Japanese have been talking for a few days, and the agreement may be signed at some point, and the second division seems to be stationed in Handan, right? It's a long way from hereβ"
"It's not Handan, huh!" Chang Zhi'an said that he didn't know what Lu Dao remembered, pulled his hand away, looked at him twice, and said: "There is news in the division that the matter of the disbandment of the training class is from among the trainees, this person can't be you, right?!" β
Ouyang Yun was startled, and quickly shook his head and said, "How could it be me, I don't know Chief He and the people around him, where do we know about these top-secret things?" β
Chang Zhi'an thought about it, and he also heard from his cousin about the 25th Division and all the national troops stationed in Hebei being evacuated, and his cousin naturally heard the news from the division headquarters, Ouyang Yun, a major, was only appointed a few days ago, so he shouldn't know about such a confidential matter. However, thinking of the other party's other identity and the conversation with his cousin this morning, he kindly reminded: "Brother Ouyang, your student corps has killed so many Japanese devils, and the Japanese will report their flaws, so be extra careful recently!" β
Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but I think, no matter how you say it, they don't dare to blatantly come to the door to retaliate, right?" β
"It's hard to say, the Japanese don't play cards according to common sense, and who knows if they will play any conspiracy, you know what kind of tricks they have, some of their own people can't deal with the Japanese, but they have a very good way to deal with their own compatriots, and now I don't know how many people in Lu Dao are trying to catch you and ask for credit from Lu Shangfeng."
Hearing him mention "his own people", Ouyang Yun remembered his identity as a wanted criminal, and thought that sooner or later the matter of his coming to the student corps would be leaked out, once it was known by some people, it would also affect the student corps, if the student corps was forcibly disbanded or something because of his own reasons, the impact would be too great, and it would not be good, the 29th Army would return to its original track from then on, and he would become a sinner for the ages - no, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen, so, the first thing to do now is to do it, It is to lead the student corps to find a place to hide.
With his mind decided, he asked Chang Zhi'an to wait for him, take him to the second division in a while, and then go to the school field to convene a meeting of all the acting cadres, first assign the cadets of the two reconnaissance platoons to go to Wanping immediately to contact Chu Tiange and others, and then ask them to immediately assemble the team, load all the weapons and equipment and other things, change into regular clothes, and prepare to go to Wanping at night. After arranging this matter, he and Chang Zhi'an took their respective orderlies to ride to the headquarters of the Second Division.
The Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army, division commander Huang Jie. Chang Zhi'an's so-called acquaintance is Zheng Dongguo, the commander of the Fourth Brigade. Under his recommendation, Ouyang Yun pretended to be a major staff officer of the 29th Army, and in the name of the 29th Army, under the recommendation of Zheng Dongguo, he met Huang Shicai, the person in charge of the quartermaster department of the Second Division. Then, they even got a gasoline generator and a large amount of oil supplies. This made Ouyang Yun sigh on the way back, this trip was worthwhile! At the same time, he was deeply moved by the deep friendship of the brothers of the national army to the brothers of the local troops - what made him a little laughable was that when he learned that he was from the 29th Army, Huang Shicai and a group of quartermaster officers actually self-righteously generously gave nearly 500 sets of military uniforms that had not been issued - so it seems that the 29th Army is really famous!
It's just that I don't know what Song Zheyuan will think after learning about this matter, will he think that Ouyang Yun has ruined the glorious image of the 29th Army?
When Ouyang Yun and Chang Zhi'an drove the newly bought old truck full of scrap iron back to the station, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the students had already loaded and bundled all kinds of materials, everyone changed into regular clothes, most of them rested in the dormitory, and a small number of people were under the leadership of Chen Shichang and others, and they stood guard near the station with loaded guns and ammunition.
Ouyang Yun was quite relieved and proud to see all this. Chang Zhi'an has a new understanding of the Cadet Corps, why is the division commander willing to disband such a team? What a good soldier, and his tactical literacy looks much better than some veterans! When he looked at Ouyang Yun again, his eyes were a little sour, and he said that this kid's luck was really fucking good, first he easily made a 426 tragedy in Beiping that made the Japanese lose face, and achieved the name of "Anti-Japanese Heroes"; Then the training class that the 25th Division had worked so hard to build was turned into a cadet corps of the 29th Army, and the money for the purchase of equipment was also ......
Ouyang Yun parked the car in front of the convoy, got out of the car, looked at the rows of trucks, and suddenly remembered a serious problem - there were nine trucks in good condition, but where did so many drivers come from? He had already inquired before going to the Second Division, and apart from him, there was no one in the cadet corps who could drive - in this way, there were more cars and fewer drivers, so people couldn't let people push the cart away, right? Isn't that the person who bought the donkey and carried the donkey on his back, which is really ridiculous and ridiculous.
Chang Zhi'an got out of the car, and when he saw the size of the convoy, the sour taste in his heart was a little stronger, and he said in his heart that this Ouyang Yun was really willing, there were only 200 people in the student corps, and there were so many trucks, and then looking at the artillery, machine guns, and bullets tied to the car, this family was not much better than the teaching corps of the national army. Thinking of the German division that everyone has been eagerly discussing recently, which has the advanced concept of infantry motorization, he said in his heart that Ouyang Yun wants to turn the cadet regiment into a motorized infantry regiment. Hey, what if your own battalion could also be motorized? He looked at Ouyang Yun and found that he was really a little jealous of this young man. Seeing Ouyang Yun frowning and having a bitter gourd face, he couldn't help but quip, "Brother Ouyang, what's the matter?" Do you think that there are too many belongings that are difficult to deal with? I said, if that's the case, I'll give some to my brother. β
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't laugh at me, this is not only the belongings of our student corps, our 29th Army has tens of thousands of people, I heard Commander Song say that many brothers are still using the goods of the early Republic of China." β
"Isn't it enough for you to frown? If it's not enough, buy it again, my eldest brother doesn't seem to think you buy too much, right? β
"I'm worried about the driver, I'm the only one who can drive, hey!"
"Oh, this question, why don't you ask Song Fat Man for someone?"
Ouyang Yun rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, You don't think I'm not, isn't it afraid that Fat Song will see his eyes red! Thinking like this, he didn't dare to say it, if it was known that he bought so many arms for the Cadet Corps, who knew what the Daoist people would think? The simple-minded will praise him for being selfless, and the unpredictable will not think that he wants to stand on his own.
Chang Zhi'an is a smart person, and when he saw that his face was wrong, he asked tentatively: "Is there any difficulty, if this is the case, you can also go to Tianjin City to recruit people, there are always some young people in the city who can drive but can't find a job." β
Ouyang Yun thought about it, but the question was if he went to recruit people now, would it be too late? In that case, he will definitely not be able to leave tonight, in case he really tears his face and hits him, this- he is a little afraid to think about it, shakes his head and says, "Then he may not be able to leave tonight." β
"Well, it seems that I'll help you solve this problem, there are still some automobile soldiers in the 25th Division."
"Oh, thank you so much."
"You're welcome, brother, I'll help you go back to find someone, well, where are you going to evacuate?"
"Wanping."
"Wanping?"
"Yes."
"There doesn't seem to be much to hide there, there are so many of you and so many cars."
"No matter, let's go over first."
"Yes, okay, I'll go back."
"Xie Lu, Brother Xie Chang!"
Chang Zhi'an mounted his horse, waved his hand, and went back with the orderlies.
