February 7th, Chinese New Year's Eve. After the end of the Nanchang Campaign, because they had to clean up the battlefield, register the relevant battle damage, and burn and bury the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, the Cadet Army did not return to Guangzhou quickly, but stayed in the Nanchang area for two days. This stay missed the opportunity to return to Guangzhou for Chinese New Year's Eve, and could only be passed on the road.

Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival are traditional Chinese festivals as well as traditional Japanese festivals. The Chinese want to celebrate the Spring Festival, and the Japanese also have the Spring Festival. Yamamoto 56 planned to launch the South China Raid at the suggestion of Koizumi Tonichiro, initially wanting to complete the Annihilation of the School Army and give Emperor Hirohito a New Year's gift before the arrival of the Spring Festival, but for various reasons, it was delayed until the end of December 39 This was not implemented.

Both China and Japan celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve, but because of the influence of the Nanchang Battle, the mentality of both sides at this time was very different. Before three o'clock in the afternoon of February 7, after the northbound troops of the Cadet Army drove to the area around Ganzhou, Ouyang Yun issued an order for the whole army to stop advancing and prepare for Chinese New Year's Eve: "Brothers have won a big victory, we must celebrate well!" ”

Ji Xingwen, who was in charge of logistics, saw that the northbound troops would spend Chinese New Year's Eve in Jiangxi, and in the last batch of heavy items, he let him carry a large amount of flour, pigs, and wine, and this batch of supplies was transported to the Nanchang area two days ago, and was immediately assigned by Ouyang Yun to various divisions, and now, it is time to kill pigs and dumplings.

When the northbound troops returned, the Second Division was able to hold Ouyang Yun's military flag in the first sequence because of its special performance in the First Battle of Jinjiang. Behind the Second Division was the Eighteenth Division, which suffered the heaviest losses, and Ouyang Yun's direct troops, followed by the First and Second Guerrilla Divisions and Chu Tiange's direct troops. The guerrilla commander had three divisions under his command, and Jiang Tiezhang's third division was the only one that did not return to Guangzhou, and their whereabouts had become a mystery since two days ago, and now the only people who knew about it were Ouyang Yun and Chu Tiange. Behind the guerrilla units were the 3rd, 17th, and 8th Divisions, and at the rear were the 9th Division.

Ouyang Yun's orders were conveyed in turn, and soon, each division began to encircle and build its own Chinese New Year's Eve chain of places with divisions as units, using tanks, armored vehicles, military trucks, and even artillery trucks as covers. Yu Jishi's major staff officer Guo Huizhang had been transferred to Ouyang Yun's side at this time, and he and his guards and Li De'an were the only outsiders in this carnival. When the student army first began to set up camp, they didn't understand what was going on, and when they found that You Xiaolian's women's army began to make peace, and those who were bored were even more bored to watch Liu Kui's male soldiers of the guard group kill pigs, and they realized what was going on.

The Chinese's attention to food and their willingness to put a lot of effort into eating have always been confusing and fascinated by Rid'an. Following Ouyang Yun all the way north, his original goal was to find out the truth about the "flying missile", but so far, although he has found almost nothing on the "flying missile", he thinks that his gains in other aspects have far exceeded the value of the "flying missile".

The high level of science and technology and the degree of mechanization of the Cadet Army have already made Rid'an astonished, but what surprised him the most about the Cadet Army was the harmony between the officers and soldiers and Ouyang Yun's willingness to invest. In terms of individual rations alone, even the Germans could only provide the soldiers with canned food and biscuits. However, on top of this, the Xuebing Army added instant noodles, dried meat, dried fish, and dried vegetables, which in his opinion was too extravagant.

Even though it was a cold winter day, the march stopped at three o'clock, and Li De'an thought that there was an enemy situation around him, and Ouyang Yun was preparing to mobilize troops to fight. Stepping out of the armored car, he learned that the soldiers in the camp were busy but for a dinner in the evening, he was speechless and fell into a deep puzzle at the same time, Reid was unbelievable because he didn't understand, what about Guo Huizhang? It's all out of envy. As a native of Chinese, he fully understands the significance of Chinese New Year's Eve to Chinese. Only in this way can we more and more be able to appreciate Ouyang Yun's good intentions and significance in doing this.

In fact, if you are ruthless, even if you can achieve different levels, there is no doubt that most of the domestic army can come to such a show on this day. But how many people actually do this? This is what makes him really impressed by Ouyang Yun. On the surface, it is just a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, but the positive significance it can produce and its impact on the cultural development of the army are too profound.

At about half past six o'clock, as the political directors of each division gave the order to "open the meal" in turn, the hoarse singing of the white tassel began to resound throughout the camp, and then, whether it was Ouyang Yun or Chu Tiange, Bai Tassel and others also began to organize their military uniforms and walked to the guard post outside the dining camp, replacing the officers and soldiers on duty on the front line, so that they could eat steaming dumplings for the first time.

This is another major feature of the Cadet Army. Whether it is Li De'an or Guo Huizhang, at first they thought that the suspicion of showing off was too big, and the two of them didn't know when they came together, they squeezed each other's eyebrows and raised their eyes, and the meaning between their eyebrows was clear and clear: This Ouyang Yun, it is not easy to show up to such an extent! The two of them paid special attention to the replaced cadets on duty, hoping to find relevant evidence from their faces. However, to their slight disappointment, the replaced cadets on duty showed no signs of intimidation and uneasiness, as if they had long been accustomed to this, and they looked at each other again, and then looked at the cadet officers who were standing straight in the cold wind, and their eyes were only fearful except reverence.

This is obviously another tradition of the Cadet Army, and as they are quite knowledgeable about military affairs, they know the meaning behind this tradition very well. Officers and soldiers are one, and officers can command their subordinates to reach the realm of commanding their subordinates, which is what every unit is pursuing, but how many have really achieved it?

He was so surprised that Reedan couldn't help but think maliciously: if the Japanese came to attack at this time, it would be a lot of fun. However, when he found out that in Ouyang Yun's command car, Jiang Huangyong was still sticking to his post and keeping in touch with the wolf fangs patrolling outside at any time, he knew that even if the Japanese seized this opportunity, the chance of a successful sneak attack was close to zero. Thinking about it like this, he looked at Ouyang Yun who was standing in the middle of several guards two hundred meters away, and his expression was wonderful-
