Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Heart of the Army
Because of He Yingqin's avoidance, the July 1 Movement did not accomplish the set goals at the very end, but its historical significance is worthy of affirmation. Affected by this, student movements broke out in Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chongqing, and other cities, which invisibly played a certain role in promoting the central government's resistance against Japan. At the same time, due to Qin Dechun's proper handling, the difficult situation of the 29th Army was understood and sympathized with by the Ten Schools Autonomous Association, which virtually accumulated considerable popular capital for Song Zheyuan.
After the procession disbanded, Ouyang Yun went to Yanda that night to find Guo Biao.
Guo Biao heard from the members of the Wolf Tooth that someone wanted to see him, and thought it was Gu Lianyun or a lobbyist sent by her. When he heard that it was Ouyang Yun from his voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed his shoulders with both hands, pulling him to the light and looking him up and down, left and right carefully. Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "What? You don't know me after only a few days? ”
"Brother! It's great that you're okay! Guo Biao said, unconsciously using force in his hand, grabbing Ouyang Yun's shoulder painfully.
"Big brother, thank you for your hard work!"
"What's the matter, by the way, Tieshu and Chief of Staff Ji know that you are back?"
"I haven't returned to Renqiu yet, I want to see the commander first. I heard that the Military Committee directly made the Cadet Brigade a division, and I would like to know what Commander Lu Dao thinks. ”
"The commander will definitely not agree, he is now recuperating in Xishan. Well, I'll go with you! Brother, you have to absorb this lesson! Have you thought about it, if you die, whether it is the Cadet Brigade or the Special Service Brigade, it will be all over. ”
"No, I'll basically have everything in my hands."
"It's different, if you don't have a backbone, it's just a plate of loose sand!"
Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the eldest brother, I remembered it." ”
Guo Biao's mood at this time was actually pleasantly surprised, and he smiled when he heard this: "Women are trouble, our ancestors have long raised this question!" ”
The two of them drove a truck to the West Mountain of the Summer Palace, and after arriving there, Guo Biao got out of the car and communicated with the guards, and went in to report to Song Zheyuan first.
Everything that happened in the Cadet Brigade did not hide from Song Zheyuan's eyes, and he obtained all the information through Ji Xingwen, he thought that Ouyang Yun must be more than auspicious, and he was lamenting that he was making people a lot these days, and even had negative thoughts that didn't help me one day. Now that I heard Guo Biao say that Ouyang Yun was still alive, I was overjoyed and immediately asked Guo Biao to bring him in.
Ouyang Yun walked up to Song Zheyuan wearing a robe and a hat, immediately took off his hat and leaned on his heels, performed a standard military salute, and then shouted in a slightly excited voice: "Military seat!" ”
Song Zheyuan returned a military salute, then looked him up and down, left and right, nodded and said, "Slim down a lot, Ouyang, you have suffered." ”
"Thank you for your concern."
Song Zheyuan's voice changed: "Although you have suffered, I still have to criticize you!" The situation in North China is complicated, people are unpredictable, young man, don't trust others, especially women! ”
Ouyang Yun lowered his head: "Junza, it is indeed my responsibility to cause such a situation!" Please dispose of it. ”
"There is no need to say what to deal with, the top priority now is to control the student brigade and continue to carry out the economic construction of Renqiu. As for the appointment of the National Government, leave it to me to deal with, and you don't have to pay attention to it. That Gu Lianyun is not small, Ouyang, bear with this hatred first. Eat a trench to grow a wisdom, and pay more attention in the future. By the way, Li Tieshu is good, very selfless, if it weren't for him, now the student brigade has been completely divided, you have to thank people more when you go back. ”
Song Zheyuan has actually been quite heartwarming recently, and he talks lightly, seemingly full of confidence in the future, but he is actually quite at a loss in his heart. The strength of the 29th Army is still too weak, and it even has to be next to the big tree of Lao Jiang, but the problem is that this big tree is a cannibal tree, and if you don't get it right, the 29th Army will be swallowed by it.
Ouyang Yun knew a little about his current situation, and when he heard him say this, he had the confidence in his heart and told what he had seen and felt in the procession, believing that the patriotic enthusiasm of the progressive students should be encouraged, and the student brigade could take this opportunity to absorb strength from it and complete the system.
Historically, the student corps of the 29th Army was composed of progressive students, and Song Zheyuan naturally had no opinion, he nodded in agreement, and then reminded: The time is not yet ripe, let him wait for the situation in North China to be clear before it is too late.
Out of the Summer Palace, Ouyang Yun returned to Yanda with Guo Biao, first visited the students of the special service group, which was considered to stabilize the morale of the army, and then rushed back to Renqiu overnight with Mu Jiandie under the escort of five wolf-tooth warriors.
When the truck stopped at the gate of the barracks, looking at the sentry standing straight at the gate of the barracks, a warm current rose in Ouyang Yun's heart, and he couldn't help but think: It's good to go home, it's good to go home.
The sentry checked the documents of the wolf-toothed warrior and saw Ouyang Yun himself, they did not let him go immediately, but asked "the brigade seat to wait a moment", and then made a phone call.
Ouyang Yun did not have any documents on him, and according to the regulations, he could only enter the camp after being signed and confirmed by the officer on duty. He thought the sentinels were doing a routine, but that wasn't the case.
A few minutes later, neat and loud footsteps rang out in the camp. Through the dim streetlights, he saw rows of soldiers converging at various corners onto the main road of the barracks, shouting loud slogans, forming three phalanxes according to the regimental formation, and then running towards the door.
When he got closer, he found that Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen and other personnel of the brigade were running at the front, and he vaguely guessed their purpose, and his eyes were hot and almost crying.
Mu Jiandie stood beside Ouyang Yun, looking at everything in front of him lightly, although he felt that from the perspective of the military appearance and morale of the sentinels, the Cadet Brigade had the basic qualities of a strong army, and at the same time, he felt that the military discipline was so strict that it was a bit of a big deal - Ouyang Yun was the brigade commander after all, and their highest commander must be his own person, so what did it matter if he carried his documents or not?! However, when he saw the soldiers of the Cadet Brigade running to the gate of the camp under the leadership of the officer, and then an officer shouted the command of "stand up and take a break", everyone brushed twice to complete the action, saluted together, and shouted the slogan "Welcome back to the brigade" in unison, he couldn't help but be shocked - Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen's painstaking arrangement was nothing more than to emphasize this concept in the hearts of the soldiers: The Cadet Brigade is Ouyang Yun's Cadet Brigade, and his position in the Cadet Brigade cannot be replaced by anyone!
Mu Jian Die realized this and couldn't help but look at Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun was raising his hand to return the salute at this time, something shiny was flashing in his eyes, and he could see that Mu Jiandie's eyes were also hot, and then he was glad that his choice was not wrong.
After everyone put down their hands, Ouyang Yun strode across the camp gate, stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Stand upright, take a break!" Then he said: "Comrades have worked hard! He greeted Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen who came up, saluted each other, and then shook hands warmly.
Li Tieshu shook his hand hard and said, "Luza, it's really good that you can return safely." ”
He shook it vigorously and said, "Deputy Brigade Commander Li, it's hard work!" The two looked at each other and smiled, and then, he stretched out his hand to Ji Xingwen, the two shook each other's hands, and Ji Xingwen said, "Brigade, welcome back!" He smiled and said, "Chief of Staff Ji, thank you for your support!" ”
"It's what I'm supposed to do!"
After the greetings, Li Tieshu disbanded the team, and then they walked to the brigade headquarters accompanied by the wolf teeth and the staff members. On the way, Ouyang Yun introduced Mu Jiandie to them, saying that he was a friend he met in Hong Kong, and it was thanks to his help that he was able to get out of danger.
Li Tieshu solemnly thanked Mu Jiandie, and then asked people to take him to rest, and walked into the brigade headquarters with Ouyang Yun surrounded by everyone. Ouyang Yun had already clarified the situation from Guo Biao before, and after he conveyed Song Zheyuan's instructions, he first made self-criticism, and then solicited everyone's opinions on the expansion of the student brigade.
Li Tieshu said: "Brigade seat, we can think of going together, hehe, there are still people from our student brigade in the ten school autonomous associations, the students have a good impression of our student brigade, and it should not be difficult to implement." ”
Ji Xingwen said: "I don't think this matter is urgent, but the upcoming military police regiment is a problem. ”
The first regiment of the gendarmerie transferred to the military division was already on its way, and it would be there in a few days, and how to get along with them was indeed a problem.
Ouyang Yun said: "Anyway, the above matter is up to Commander Song, so we can do our part," he looked at Li Tieshu and said: "It's just that I want to wronged Brother Li, I could have been promoted to two levels, but now not only has the official not been promoted, but I have offended many people." ”
Li Tieshu smiled disappreciatively and said: "Instead of being a nominal division commander, it is better to be a deputy brigade commander." What's so terrible about offending people, anyway, Lao Tzu's life will have to be explained on the battlefield of resistance against Japan sooner or later. ”
Ji Xingwen smiled: "I love to hear the words of the iron book!" He remembered something and said to Ouyang Yun: "There is something I almost forgot to tell you, there is a person named Wang Dongbei looking for you, and he himself said that he was Wang Delin's nephew. ”
"Wang Delin?"
"It is General Wang, the founder of the Northeast National Salvation Army."
"Northeast National Salvation Army?" Ouyang Yun thought silently, thinking that this should have something to do with the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, it seems that the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army was formed by the joint formation of many anti-Japanese armed forces. A famous name came to his mind, and he asked, "What about the others now?" ”
"I arranged for him to stay at the guest house."
"Oh, that's great, I'll go meet him now."
