Chapter 3: Defending Nanjing (4)
Wang Jingjiu is a caring person. Although he was very cold to Ouyang Yun on the face, and even suspected of being contrived, in fact, he attached great importance to this rising star. This can also be seen in the fact that he left behind his officer training corps. The officer training regiment of the 87th Division was nominally left to help the Cadet Army get familiar with the Jiangfang Defense, but in fact, what Wang Jingjiu told them before leaving was to let them all open their eyes a little bit to see how the Cadet Army fought.
Wang Yifu, the head of the officer training regiment, was Wang Jingjiu's nephew, and he asked at that time: "Master, listen to what you mean, it seems that the student army will definitely win the battle!" ”
Wang Jingjiu glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Of course." When the cadet army came in, did you find nothing? ”
"What?"
"Whether or not it takes advantage of the light of weapons, this unit at least has the basic elements to become a strong army - the morale of the officers and soldiers is very high, and the order of the ranks is excellent! Kazuo, study hard! Although Ouyang Yun has not been rising for a long time, I have studied it. He seems to be fighting by the flesh, but in reality, don't you notice? So far, the Cadet Army has not lost a battle—except for the few times when they were calculated by his own people—and Ouyang Yun dared to suggest that they should be in charge of the river defense, which means that he must have a way to deal with Japanese warships and aircraft——"
Facts have proved Wang Jingjiu's judgment.
In the eyes of Wang Yifu and other officers and soldiers of the officer training regiment, the first thing Ouyang Yun did when he took over the defense was a bit confusing. He didn't even inspect Jiangfang, and the first thing he did was to gather the principal officials of Jiangyin County for a meeting. Wang Yifu and others were fortunate to attend this meeting, and after the meeting, they realized Ouyang Yun's forward-looking nature in convening this meeting. The main content of the meeting was to sort out the order in the defense area, and all civilians entering the defense area must have a pass issued by the Cadet Army, otherwise they will be treated as traitors. At the meeting, Ouyang Yun's words made Wang Yifu and others particularly impressed: You should have heard that I will never be soft on traitors. Therefore, please be sure to convey the spirit of the meeting in place after you go back, otherwise, once there is a situation of vain killing, it will be your responsibility!
Overbearing! It's quite unreasonable - Wang Yifu saw that the face of Yuan Youren, the magistrate of Jiangyin County, immediately became quite ugly, and he couldn't help but have such an evaluation of Ouyang Yun.
"General, this is not good, there are many ordinary people living in the defense area......" Yu Youren said embarrassedly.
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ouyang Yun: "I don't care, I only take care of defense." People's livelihood matters, that is your responsibility. ”
When a scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain it - Yu Youren was actually born as a soldier, but now he finally understands the true meaning of this ancient saying. Helpless, he had to say, "I'll do my best." ”
"Not to the best effort! It must be done well, otherwise, those who are not traitors and are killed as traitors by the traitor elimination team are all because your work is not in place. ”
Poor Yu Youren, in order to tie up with Ouyang Yun, also prepared a sumptuous dinner and ritual for this meeting, but now it seems that it feels like a meat bun beating a dog.
After the meeting, Liu Zheliang, who knew very well that Ouyang Yun was a person, was extremely puzzled and asked: "Commander, why do you have to be so embarrassed by the county magistrate today?" He has a lot of respect for you. Liu Zheliang's words are comparable, in his opinion, Wang Jingjiu and Yu Youren, the former is extremely disrespectful, however, the commander is very polite to him; The latter was extremely respectful to him, how could it be the opposite?
Ouyang Yunzhi said that he would not understand, and he also deliberately wanted to nudge him, which could be regarded as the cultivation of him, after all, he still had considerable expectations for him. Lighting a cigarette and smoking, Ouyang Yun said: "My performance just now was a bit abnormal, at least it wasn't my usual style." But it is necessary. Tetsura, you remember, whatever we do, we have to take into account the environment. Don't forget, this is Jiangyin, not North China or Fujian and Guangdong. It's just that no matter how well I behave to the people of Jiangyin, in fact, I'm just making wedding dresses for others - don't look at me like that, aren't you used to how I can be so realistic and snobbish? Not long ago, I learned from Wang Jingjiu that the Japanese army bombed the fortress and the fleet day and night. I won't talk about it during the day, but this night we will carry out bombing, and it is impossible to find the target without the guidance of the ground personnel, and I am doing this precisely to put an end to the traitorous behavior of some traitors. We are not familiar with the customs here, and we don't have any network, so it is only fitting that this kind of thing is left to Yu You and them to take care of. If I act too benevolent and give up my complicated local connections, will he be ruthless? Zheliang, we are soldiers, everything but from the overall situation - you remember this for me! In order to achieve the big goal, it is necessary to give up some of the interests of the ego! ”
Wang Yifu is a person with a heart, Ouyang Yun's consideration, he quickly understood. So in the diary of the day, he commented on this matter: Although Ouyang Yunqi is young, he is old, and he doesn't care about things like fame and fortune - this person is not a good person!
The Cadet Army was fully stationed in Jiangfang, and among them, Ouyang Yun took his own guard unit as the backbone, and then removed a group of people from other units to form a battalion-sized anti-traitor team. Their purpose is to be responsible for martial law operations in military restricted areas.
Originally, the characters of the Xuebing Army were only to assist in defense, so Ouyang Yun's previous plan was mainly to assist the 87th Division in air defense, and then to harass the Japanese ships. Now that he has taken over the Jiangfang operation in an all-round way, the set of operational plans he formulated before will have to be scrapped. The fort of Jiangyin Fortress was originally undertaken by a special artillery regiment, but considering the problem of tacit understanding, Ouyang Yun once again became a villain, replaced all the artillery regiments, and let his subordinates take the role of the fortress gunners.
The original river defense fortifications did not pay enough attention to air defense, and there was only one regiment of air defense units, which was still subordinate to the 87th Division. After Ouyang Yun finished arranging trivial matters, he inspected the entire river defense fortifications, and after meeting with the main officers of the fleet, he re-planned the air defense positions, and opened up a total of four air defense positions with the Huangshan Fort as the central point, of which the No. 2 and No. 4 air defense positions were all undertaken by armored units. The No. 3 air defense position was laid directly on the warship.
It was a busy day for Ouyang Yun. It was all about military affairs, because it involved a problem of ideas, and almost all of it had to be done by himself, which made him feel deeply weak. He didn't eat lunch, and kept running around the front line of the river defense, and at about nine o'clock in the evening, he finally arranged everything according to his wishes, and at this time, from the first-line lookout post 50 kilometers away, there was an air raid siren - the battle, and it landed on the officers and men of the cadet soldiers so quickly.
