The Taiwan Corps is surprisingly powerful. To a certain extent, a large number of Japanese troops were contained. On the issue of dealing with the Taiwan Corps, the tactics begun by the Japanese cabinet to add fuel proved to be extremely stupid. After the failure of the refueling tactics, the Japanese began to draw more elite troops from the country into Taiwan, which to some extent affected the build-up of Japanese troops in the later Battle of Hankow. After all, the Taiwan Corps is not the main force of the student army, and its greatest weakness lies in the inferiority of its weapons. In Ouyang Yun's "grandiose" plan, the Cadet Army would definitely stay firmly in Taiwan until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, so when the Japanese began to attach great importance to the Taiwan issue, he also raised the Taiwan strategy to a higher height.

At the beginning of the Hankou Campaign, the Central Army fought well, and actually wiped out the 17th Division of the Japanese Army, when this information was sent to Ouyang Yun's desk, he touched his chin and wondered: "Could it be that the effect brought by my little butterfly has finally begun to expand?" If this continues, China's World War II process is likely to be rewritten! ”

At the beginning of the Battle of Hankow, the agents of the Foreign Affairs Department of Fox Tong began to respond to the call of the headquarters, and changed from serving the cadet army to providing intelligence for the front-line Chinese army. The existence of these agents has helped the Chinese army to a certain extent, at least so that they are not at a disadvantage in the spy war. The timely acquisition of intelligence enabled the Central Army, which was once accustomed to being a waste of money, to take the initiative to set up ambushes and take the initiative to attack, and was often able to concentrate three or even five times the superior forces of the Japanese army to encircle and annihilate one of them, and this was the only way to achieve such fruitful results at the beginning of the campaign.

The advantage gained in the initial stage of the Hankow Campaign was to a certain extent politically powerful support for the passive old Chiang. When the news of the total annihilation of the 17th Division of the Second Army of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army was revealed, the rumors of the students and the masses attending the rally in Chongqing changed from denouncing the Nationalist Government to supporting the War of Resistance. Under the arrangement of some well-intentioned people, Chairman Chiang's wisdom and wisdom were repeatedly revealed by the media, and the political atmosphere in Chongqing was completely renewed.

Speaking from the heart, at least during the Anti-Japanese War, there was no shortage of generals and troops in the Central Army who could recruit and fight well. The appearance of Ouyang Yun has changed some historical processes and delayed the opportunities for some famous generals to emerge.

In that time and space, the Battle of Hankou (also known as the Battle of Hankou) and the Battle of Changsha (the Battle of Defense) both took place in 1938. These two major battles made two people, one was Yu Jishi, who was the commander of the 74th Army at the time, and Xue Yue. At this time, the rise of the Cadet Army in Fujian, Yueqiong, not only ruined the Japanese army's plan of conquering South China, but also delayed its march into the Chinese mainland. Because of the failure of the peace talks, the Japanese lost the opportunity to concentrate their forces to defeat the Xuebing army, and instead began to follow the conventional route, and began to plan the Battle of Hankou and Changsha, wanting to first go north and center, and then southeast, so there was the late Battle of Hankow.

The Cadet Army stole the limelight of the 74th Army in the Battle of Nanjing, and relied on its superior artillery to play a pivotal role in the Battle of Xuzhou. All these have attracted the attention of all departments of the Central Army.

The Battle of Xuzhou made Li Zongren. Li Zongren was a blessing in disguise, although his descendants were almost completely lost in the Battle of Songhu, but with the help of the Xuebing Army, his base camp Guangxi was preserved. Moreover, in the defense of Xuzhou, it was precisely because of his excellent command that he achieved a great victory and injected a stimulant into the situation of the Anti-Japanese War that was full of mourning at that time.

The commander of the Japanese army was General Shunroku Hata, this old devil got into the light of the student army and ascended to the position in advance, he did not continue the pace of his predecessor Matsui Ishone, and after the peace talks were forced to give up due to leaks, he resolutely chose to attack Wuhan first, hoping to get the opportunity to isolate the student army and fall in one fell swoop by clearing the surroundings.

There are two Chinese commanders, divided by the Yangtze River and bounded by the north and south, of which the Jiangbei commander is Li Zongren, who has just led the team to win the victory in Xuzhou; Jiangnan is known as the "little chairman", and Chen Cheng, Lao Jiang's confidant, serves as the leader. There was no doubt about the appointment of the commander-in-chief of Jiangbei, Li Zongren took advantage of the prestige of Xinsheng, and he was not considered a descendant of Lao Chiang, so his appointment was not opposed by the anti-Chiang faction led by the Wang family. However, Chen Cheng's appointment was hindered, and Wang's excuse against him as commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan defense line was that Chen Cheng was too young to convince the public, and the candidate they proposed was the old general Feng Yuxiang, who had just been promoted to vice chairman. Let Feng Yuxiang serve as the commander-in-chief of the southern front, the reason for Wang's department is: General Feng, as an old man who has mixed in the military circles of the Republic of China, has no problem with his prestige, and in addition, because the Xuebing Army belongs to the Northwest Army, Feng has a greater certainty that the Xuebing Army will go out of Guangdong to participate in the war, thereby increasing the insurance coefficient of the Battle of Hankou.

In the end, the reason why Chen Cheng still held this position was that Lao Jiang played a "hooligan" at the last moment, claiming that if the commander-in-chief of the south bank was not Chen Cheng, he would not be able to guarantee that the central army would completely obey the command and obey the order. At this time, the status of the Central Army is the mainstay of the country. Lao Jiang's cruel words were released, and the people of the Wang family naturally couldn't hold on. And General Feng also understood his own situation, and did not think that he could make the Central Army on the southern front listen to him with his old face, and he took the initiative to declare that he had no intention of serving as the commander-in-chief of the south bank, so as to make this turmoil disappear invisibly.

The battle for the commander-in-chief of the South Bank has not escaped the surveillance of the fox pupil from beginning to end. After Mu Jiandie was stationed in Chongqing as the representative of the Cadet Army, the first thing he started to do was to reply to the Fox Pupil Chongqing group. Tian Boguang has been exposed, and the position of team leader can no longer be held. But it doesn't matter, among the second-tier players he left behind, there are some capable elements. Mu Jiandie sent his right-hand men to contact them, and soon determined the leader of the new Chongqing Fox Pupil Group.

During the Sino-Japanese peace period, when the Central Army began to move around Fujian, Guangdong, and Qiong, the Fox Pupil Foreign Affairs Department's rebellion against some middle- and low-level officers of the Central Army's lineage began. Later, although due to the change of the current situation, Ouyang Yun had to order to stop this action. However, because of the foundation laid earlier, now, in some of the central armies left behind in Chongqing, some middle and low-level officers who have the intention of learning have been developed. Although the probability of them transmitting intelligence is very low, as long as one of them comes out, it will be heavyweight, and it will be able to benefit the student army a lot.

At the end of the first phase of the Battle of Hankow and the superiority of the national army, Ouyang Yun solved the "plague crisis", and there was no excuse to delay the dispatch of troops. At this time, he invited the bigwigs of the Cadet Army to Guangzhou to discuss the issue of sending troops to the Hankou Campaign.

After everyone, except for Mu Jiandie, arrived, Ouyang Yun first asked Guo Biao to introduce the political situation in Chongqing. The furniture of the cadet army is getting bigger and bigger, and the things that need to be considered are becoming more and more comprehensive. When they were still in Renqiu, they could ignore the Nanjing government, but now, they can't ignore the Chongqing government. As the central government, as long as the Chongqing government exists, the current general trend of resistance against Japan can be maintained. And once the Chongqing government is in chaos, then when the national anti-Japanese strength becomes a plate of scattered sand, the student army may really have to fight alone.

Guo Biao and Mu Jiandie went to Chongqing to carry out the mission of assassinating Wang Jingwei, but the situation changed, and they saved Wang Jingwei's life in the end, and as a result, Chongqing fell into chaos. Now there is no need to hold anyone accountable. The Japanese may have taken advantage of China's political chaos to fish in troubled waters and took the opportunity to launch the Battle of Hankow, but to their disappointment, the Chinese may like internal fighting, but when foreign enemies invade, they can always unite, even if it is only temporary.

From Guo Biao's personal point of view, he hopes that the student army can send troops. Perhaps he spent more time in Chongqing, and his understanding of the overall situation is much deeper than before, in his words: ...... It is undeniable that at present, the Chongqing government headed by Lao Chiang is still the largest political and armed force in the country, and we must rely on them if we want to win this war. Many people will certainly be unhappy when I say such things, because so far, it can be said that our student army has contributed the greatest strength and achieved the greatest results in the cause of resistance against Japan. But I must say that these are all superficial, because if there were not so many troops of the Central Army and even other departments displayed there, the Japanese would have mobilized all their forces to fight us. Under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, our army has grown from scratch, and the speed of development is unprecedented. However, compared with the huge Japanese militarist machine, we are still a little immature......

Chongqing trip, Guo Biao benefited a lot. Other people may not feel anything unusual, but Ouyang Yun, who has a deep relationship with Guo Biao, feels his growth from his words.

In the past, Guo Biao could not say such a high-level speech, but it is obvious that the complex environment of Chongqing has created him and made him more mature and capable.

After Guo Biao finished speaking, Ouyang Yun then expressed his opinion. Ouyang Yun is also a staunch critic of sending troops, and his reason is that from a geographical point of view, because the loss of Hankou will directly lead to the exposure of the entire Jiangxi army to the Japanese iron cavalry. At that time, when the Japanese army entered Jiangxi, the student army would definitely have to send troops for its own safety. Since it is necessary to send troops later, why not send troops while the national army is now strong? Once the Japanese army won the Battle of Hankow, then the Central Army would definitely retreat to Hunan. Geographically, Hunan is far behind Guangdong. Then, when the Japanese army asked for troops in Jiangxi, the central army of the ministry could not carry out rescue.

"But what about Taiwan? Now that the Japanese army is frequently increasing its troops in Taiwan, if we do not carry out reinforcements, the Taiwan Corps will definitely not be able to hold on! "Chiang Guangnai was against sending troops, and he raised the Taiwan issue.
