Chapter Seventy-One: Operation Spark

The selection conditions for the "Spark Brigade" were drawn up by Ouyang Yun himself, he shook his head and said, "There are more subjects, but they are necessary. Once in enemy-occupied territory, the assistance that headquarters can provide is very small, and everything will need to be solved by themselves, so these basic skills must be mastered. Why do you want them to recite the local county records, only in this way can they fully integrate into the local area, and they can be wedged into it like nails. Tiange, this operation is not the same as your stubbornness in Eagle Cliff Mountain, they want to mobilize the masses to build resistance forces out of nothing, and even develop anti-Japanese base areas, and the difficulties can be imagined. Now, are all the 'Spark' seeds in the mountains? ”

"Yes."

"Let them come at once, and I will see them, and I will be strong!"

"Yes!"

The scenery of Bawang Mountain is still quite good, although there are too many training grounds opened up because of the presence of the guerrilla headquarters, but it does not affect its natural beauty. Chu Tiange personally went to give the order, Ouyang Yun stood on the high platform at the entrance of the headquarters and looked into the distance, attracted by the dark colors around him, and couldn't help but let go of his mind. The reason why he was in such a hurry to rush to Bawang Mountain and to start the "Spark" plan ahead of schedule was mainly for two reasons: one was to fulfill his promise a few days ago, so that the people under his command could see the determination of the Cadet Army to resist Japan -- to put into practice "fighting the Japanese invaders by all means"; on the other hand, because of the information from Beiping and Nanjing, he did not dare to delay this plan any longer.

After four months of delay from that time and space, the puppet Provisional Government of the Republic of China and the Puppet Restoration Government of the Republic of China were established in Beiping and Nanjing. There has never been a shortage of traitors in China, no matter how iron-fisted he was when he was in charge, traitors still appeared, including many well-known people - Ouyang Yun was fully psychologically prepared for this, so he was not surprised, and what really made him interested in these two pieces of information came from a historical document that Hou Debang copied from a computer manufacturer.

According to this historical document, the two puppet regimes of the North and the South will be replaced by the puppet National Government of the Republic of China led by Wang Jingwei. And once the conspiracy of Wang Jingwei and the Japanese succeeds, the "Xinghuo" plan is bound to be greatly obstructed, not to mention anything else, the national army that was opposed by Wang Jingwei and others alone is enough for the "Xinghuo" to drink a pot. Wang Jingwei was Ouyang Yun's most hated traitor in that time and space, and when he was still in the military academy, Ouyang Yun said something like this in class: To deal with people like Wang Jingwei, you should go all out to assassinate and set an example!

If killing Wang Jingwei can be regarded as his small wish, then in this time and space, this wish will undoubtedly have the possibility of coming true.

On the multi-purpose field in front of the guerrilla headquarters, 439 members of the "Spark Brigade" rushed in in full armor, stood in five columns at the sound of the guerrilla deputy commander Hong Ye's command, and then immediately reported their numbers and looked straight ahead. Those who were able to stand out from tens of thousands of people and join the "Spark Brigade" were all elites of the guerrillas without exception, and many of these people were particularly excited because it was the first time they saw the legendary "little chief."

Hong Ye trotted in front of Ouyang Yun, stood up and saluted and shouted loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the Spark Brigade has been assembled, it should be 439 people, but it is 439 people, please instruct!" ”

Ouyang Yun returned a military salute, and then stepped forward. He glanced at everyone with blazing eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly: "All the Spark Brigade is here, stand up!" At ease! ”

"Wow! Revile! A very neat and loud voice - Ouyang Yun was satisfied with this effect, he put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Do you know why I want to name this operation 'Xinghuo'?" Because a spark can start a prairie fire, our action this time is to plant a fire in the enemy-occupied area, and then wait for the day when it will form a prairie fire. Comrades, many people do not understand why they have to learn how to make gunpowder, mines, and bombs when they go to enemy-occupied areas to carry out anti-Japanese work. I'll tell you why, because as soon as you get out of here, as soon as you enter enemy territory, you—it may be that you are fighting alone—what? Scared to hear me say that? After he finished speaking, he deliberately pouted and glanced at everyone.

This playful gaze immediately aroused the fighting spirit of the fighters on the training ground, and many of them raised their heads and shouted: "Don't be afraid! We are not afraid! First, more than 100 people shouted in a disorderly manner, and then more than 400 people shouted in unison, and the thunderous sound of "not afraid" shook the universe, making Ouyang Yun's heart surging involuntarily. He waved his hand to stop everyone and said loudly, "Very good, comrades, do you know the way?" You have given me hope and victory. Now, who can tell me what are the finest qualities of a seed? ”

After speaking, he looked around the crowd with a look of anticipation.

Everyone began to ponder, and many people soon had their own answers in their hearts, but few people raised their hands for some reason. Of course, there was no shortage of courageous soldiers in the Cadet Army—and after a few minutes, a short soldier raised his hand.

Ouyang Yun's eyes lit up, and he smiled and beckoned: "Come, come to the front!" ”

The soldier walked out of the queue, Chu Tiange saw it, and said softly: "His name is Zhou Dashan, a native of Zhejiang, and his level of making explosives is extremely high. ”

Zhou Dashan stood still, stood up and saluted, I don't know if Lu Dao was nervous or excited, his face was a little flushed. He looked at Ouyang Yun and said in a deep voice: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I think the best quality of the seed is its tenacious vitality and unyielding fighting spirit. ”

"Well said!" Ouyang Yun's eyes brightened, he stroked his palm appreciatively, then walked off the high platform, took off the pistol he was wearing along with the holster, handed it over and said, "Zhou Dashan, you are very brave. This gun has been with me for many years, but unfortunately I have never drunk the blood of the Japanese invaders, and now I give it to you, hoping that you can use it to kill more enemies, and let it open the meat and taste the blood of the little devils! ”

He said this humorously, and many people looked at the gun, and regretted it to death for a moment - if he had known that the commander-in-chief of Lu Dao would have given a gun as a prize, he should have tried it no matter whether he was right or wrong!

Zhou Dashan respectfully took the pistol, and then clenched it tightly with both hands, his eyes were red, and his mouth shouted: "Commander-in-Chief......" and then wanted to say something, but his mouth closed several times, and finally he trembled and couldn't spit out a word.

Ouyang Yun understood his mood at the moment, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go back to it!" ”

Zhou Dashan stood up and saluted, and then ran back to his position with the sound of slumping footsteps. And he walked all the way, and everyone cast envious eyes.

Ouyang Yun returned to the high platform, and he said loudly: "That's right, as Comrade Zhou Dashan said, the best quality of the seed is the tenacious vitality and unyielding fighting spirit, and then the perseverance to gather the same kind of strength to lift the stone and open the mountain together!" And everyone, you will be the seeds that our army will sow in the enemy-occupied areas, and you will not only have to survive tenaciously, but also wait for the opportunity to develop and grow. And when you reach strong enough, you will have the power to destroy the world, and the Japanese army will be crushed to pieces under the flames of your revenge! At that time, you seeds will be the pillars of the country! ……”

Ouyang Yun stayed in Bawang Mountain for a week, and after perfecting the Spark plan with Chu Tiange, Hong Ye and others, he personally sent away the first batch of Spark Brigade soldiers who went to Chahar, and then left and went to Fuzhou.

On August 6, in the headquarters of the Fifth Army of Fuzhou Academy, Ouyang Yun and Jiang Guangnai were alone at close range for the first time, looking at the other party's thin face and blazing eyes, he felt in a trance, and for the first time he had a sense of distrust in the world he was in now.

The appearance of his little butterfly really had such a huge chain reaction, and even Jiang Guangnai, who should have been idle at home at this moment, turned into a leader and took charge of the military and political power in Fujian again. This kind of thing, if you don't experience it yourself, is really incredible.

From ancient times to the present, every time China invades by foreign enemies, it will produce a large number of legendary figures and heroic generals, among which Jiang Guangnai is definitely the number one. Regardless of anything else, the Songhu War of Resistance that he led the 19th Route Army in 1932 was enough to make him famous in history.

For Jiang Guangnai, Ouyang Yun is truly respectful. Therefore, in the incredible eyes of everyone, he invited Jiang Guangnai from Hong Kong, and then entrusted him to the Fujian military administration. Fujian has not been calm since Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu, Cai Tingkai and others launched an anti-Chiang coup d'état in 33, but since Jiang Guangnai returned to Fujian from Hong Kong, from the beginning to the present, no matter what changes have happened in the meantime, even if the three divisions of the original Fujian department collectively betrayed, Ouyang Yun has never doubted his position from beginning to end.

On formal occasions, Ouyang Yun always called Jiang Guangnai with the official title, or general, or commander, and in private, he replaced him with "Jiang Lao". At this moment, he humbly asked: "Elder Jiang, what do you think of my statement a few days ago?" ”

Jiang Guangnai was also looking at Ouyang Yun silently at this time. If Ouyang Yun regarded him on the basis of "historical experience", then most of his feelings for Ouyang Yun came from newspapers and folk rumors. It was also the first time for him to observe Ouyang Yun so closely.

The rise of Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army is legendary. In the words of a novelist, the rise of Xuebingjun and Ouyang Yun was rapid and dazzling. Jiang Guangnai first heard of Ouyang Yun in Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao", at that time he was only one of the "anti-Japanese heroes", and then heard his name through the newspaper, the reason was the victory in Tianjin. And it was through this incident that Jiang Guangnai began to notice Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun, but at that time, he never imagined that this young man and the young team he led would one day be able to kill from far north China to South China and settle in Fujian and Guangdong. Of course, I didn't expect that I would have a chance to make a comeback.
