I have to admit that Guo Biao has indeed grown up with Ouyang Yun in the past few years, from a simple soldier to a politician with a certain amount of vision and insight.

Hearing his words, Mu Jiandie's heart was a little more relaxed. After calming down, he thought about it seriously and suggested staying in Fuling for a while. He said: "It is not suitable to go back to Chongqing at the moment, but you can't just leave." Chongqing's current political landscape is quite complicated, and several parties have joined the fight, and the outcome is difficult to predict. We'll stay and see how the situation develops, and if the parties form an inextricable situation, hehe, then we'll go in. As soon as we leave, Chongqing will become a vacuum, and it will be impossible to benefit from it at that time. Lao Guo, what do you think?! ”

Mu Jiandie, who calmed down, still has a strong analytical ability, and Guo Biao is obviously inferior to him in this regard. Guo Biao thought about it and agreed to his suggestion.

They stayed in Fuling for the time being, and then the Fox Pupil team member who served as a guide came forward to find the people from the Fox Pupil Fuling group and got the radio, and immediately sent a telegram to the General Headquarters to report the latest situation.

In the past few days, in Chongqing, a vigorous student movement began. At the beginning, the "213 Movement", known in history, was directly aimed at the Wang system according to Lao Jiang's intentions, but after the Wang family presented a series of evidence, the relevant parties lost control of its direction and immediately pointed at Lao Jiang.

When Mu Jiandie and Guo Biao were still climbing mountains and wading through rivers to Fuling, Guangzhou, Ouyang Yun had already learned about it. When he saw the relevant news reports, his first reaction was to scold: "Ge Laozi, the dog eats the dog!" Immediately worried that the situation in Chongqing would get out of control and then affect the situation of the anti-Japanese war, he couldn't help but be very worried about his two divisions that were still outside. In the afternoon of the same day, he sent a telegram to Zhang Zizhong, asking him to come to Guangdong, even if he was unwilling to come, he would have to come back from school and the mountain division.

During the extraordinary period when the two countries are at war, the great turmoil in the political situation of one country will inevitably affect the troops fighting on the front line in the country. The general quality of the Chinese army is like this at present, and at that time, as long as the Japanese seize the opportunity, a major rout of Chiang is inevitable. The military districts of the Cadet Army are basically not affected by this incident, and if the Japanese want to take this opportunity to provoke in the three southern provinces, they will only touch their own heads, but it is difficult to say whether North China will be or Central China.

It has been more than half a year since the First Division and the Mountain Division followed Zhang Zizhong's 57th Army to fight in various places, and the loss of soldiers was terrible, especially what made Ouyang Yun's heart ache was that because the ammunition was not matched and there was no fuel, the two semi-mechanized divisions that had been in good hands had now become pure infantry. As a result, the two cadet divisions, which were originally quite strong in combat effectiveness and were regarded by Zhang Zizhong as the main force in the finale, became inferior divisions that were not even as good as the local troops.

There's no way, I'm used to automatic weapons, and suddenly switch to Zhongzheng, 38 Dagai, or even Hanyang, and then the quasi-head is a little stronger than the rookie egg. However, their previous fighting style has developed a collective character that likes to charge with concentrated fire, however, after changing weapons, this has become their most fatal weakness.

At this time, Zhang Zizhong understood that the most important reason why the student army is strong is that its equipment is advanced, and once this biggest advantage is weakened, the student army will not be so mysterious. Zhang Zizhong's original plan was to exchange his three remnant divisions for the two elite divisions of the Cadet Army, but now he misses his three remnant divisions very much.

The way the army fights, the average army can't afford to raise - the ammunition is depleted too quickly, and if you want to keep fighting, then the logistics must keep up. The problem of ammunition is actually easy to solve, after all, it is not a high-end technology, and although the materials consumed are tight, it is not impossible to get them. What makes Zhang Zizhong the most important thing is fuel - China's current military army can produce its own fuel, and the scale is not large (Hainan's oil fields have not yet formed a scale, and the army is actually eating the old capital of Renqiu oil field when fighting wars), and other places have to rely on imports for oil, so where did the 57th Army, which is a partial division, get so much fuel from?

Zhang Zizhong originally intended to let the First Division and the Mountain Division withdraw to Guangdong, but the distance was too far, but several commanders were staring at these two mechanized troops (they didn't know about Zhang Zizhong's predicament, in their minds, these two student divisions were still the only purely mechanized troops in China), so he didn't dare to let them go.

After receiving Ouyang Yun's telegram, Zhang Zizhong was very conflicted. After the establishment of the 57th Army, they first fought alone in North China, then went to Xuzhou, and then to Shaanxi; as they became farther and farther away from the base camp, their treatment became worse and worse. Even, the officers and men, who have always prided themselves on strict discipline, have even begun to engage in petty theft.

Going to Guangzhou? That means that he has to be put into the command of the Cadet Army, and he Zhang Zizhong can ignore the changes in military rank and status, the question is what will his subordinates think? At present, the Cadet Army is already a group army, one level higher than the 57th Army, so after the 57th Army passes, it can only be incorporated into the Recruit Army. At that time, it will definitely be broken up and reorganized into several divisions. The selection of officers in the Cadet Army is completely different from that of the 57th Army, Ouyang Yun will definitely appoint and dismiss some officers in order to master this army, and at that time, if one is not handled properly, there will be chaos.

He hesitated in his heart, and first found Zhao Dengyu to discuss. Although Zhao Dengyu had a very unpleasant relationship with Ouyang Yun, he was very much in favor of going to Guangdong, in his words: Now everyone has not even eaten, and they still account for these false names? Rest assured, I can guarantee that if you propose to go to Guangdong, all the officers and men will raise their hands in favor.

found a little confidence from Zhao Dengyu, and Zhang Zizhong immediately made an appointment with Guo Da, Huang Haifu and Guo Muyue.

After the troops changed their weapons, their combat effectiveness deteriorated greatly, and Guo Da and Huang Haifu were a little afraid of seeing Zhang Zizhong during this time. For what, it's a shame. Those who lose themselves are not afraid, but if they lose the face of the cadet army and the face of the commander-in-chief, they will be unbearable.

Zhang Zizhong originally thought that they would definitely cheer, but after hearing him relay Ouyang Yun's telegram, the three of them were silent, and then under his urging, Guo Muyue said: "We can't just go back." ”

Guo Da and Huang Haifu immediately followed: "Yes, we can't just go back. ”

Zhang Zizhong was very puzzled, he didn't know what was wrong with Lu Dao, and asked, "What is it for?" ”

Guo Da, Huang Haifu and other officers have discussed relevant issues in private and made a decision, among the three, Guo Muyue is the latecomer, and now he has become the leader of everyone's military division. Guo Da and Huang Haifu both looked at him, and he said, "Commander Zhang, this is the case, we feel that although this situation is difficult for our two divisions, it is also an opportunity. We think like this, we can't always fight in the vicinity of the jurisdiction, and once we go out on a relatively distant combat mission, once the war cannot be quickly ended, we will always encounter the problem of insufficient ammunition supply, so we feel that instead of waiting until that day to find a way, it is better to seize the opportunity to train the troops now. ”

Zhang Zizhong understood, he was surprised, and asked, "What do you mean, you want to take this opportunity to train the team's ability to adapt to other gun types?" ”

"Yes. Commander Zhang, we have a request, do you think we can add some soldiers on the spot? We have suffered too much damage recently, and it has affected our combat effectiveness. ”

They don't want to go to Guangdong now, in addition to the reasons mentioned above by Guo Muyue, another consideration is that they don't want to go back with such a force that has lost more than half of it, at least they have to fill up the troops.

Zhang Zizhong said: "There is no problem with replenishing soldiers on the spot, but how to solve the military salary?" As you know, Chongqing hasn't paid us for three months, and the supply lines in Guangdong have been cut off—"

"We can ask the Commander-in-Chief to airdrop, but that's going to require you to send a telegram to the Commander-in-Chief."

Zhang Zizhong had thought about asking Ouyang Yun to airdrop supplies as early as two months ago, but he didn't know much about the air strength of the Xuebing Army, so with his understanding, at such a long distance, there was no plane that could fly over with supplies, and after listening to Guo Muyue's words at this time, he said: "I can send this telegram, but is it useful?" Isn't it too far? ”

Guo Da, as an old man in the cadet army, knows more about the situation of the air force than Guo Muyue and Huang Haifu, he said: "Distance is not a problem, our cadet army has a large plane, and it can fly more than 3,000 kilometers at the farthest. The most difficult part now is how to convince the commander-in-chief to abandon the order to transfer us back. ”

When Zhang Zizhong heard for the first time that an airplane could fly more than 3,000 kilometers, he was very surprised and asked, "Can it fly more than 3,000 kilometers?" It's true? ”

Guo Da nodded firmly.

Zhang Zizhong's mind immediately came alive, and he asked, "Then how many supplies can this kind of plane carry at one time?" Also, how many of these planes do you have in total now? ”

"If you fly here, you should be able to carry at least five or six tons. When we came out, there were thirteen of them, and there should be more now. ”

Zhang Zizhong thought about it, then made a decision, and said: "Then according to what you said, we will insist on it." Don't worry about sending telegrams, you can take care of recruiting troops during this time. By the way, I suddenly had a very good idea, can your stopped chariots be used for training soldiers? In the future, we will definitely go to Guangdong. Hehe, your commander-in-chief is a big family, and sooner or later I will have to eat a big family. My soldiers must first familiarize themselves with these tanks, and then they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Zizhong's temporary words opened a door for Guo Da and others. They had already seen the stopped chariot as a nuisance because they were worried that it would be captured by the Japanese, but now they found another purpose, and they were all amazed when they boarded. Originally, the recruits recruited here would have to return to the furnace in the future to adapt to the new equipment and weapons, but now, with these stopped vehicles, they can train two types of training at the same time.
