Chapter 1: Rebuilding Mountains and Rivers (18)

The Spring Festival in the south and the north are two completely different concepts. The climate dictates that people in the south prefer to celebrate outdoors and are more likely to get together for a feral. The student army has not been in charge of Guangdong for a long time, and it is necessary to lower its posture and give the people of Guangdong a chance to familiarize themselves with themselves. Therefore, the New Year's military parade and parade held in the playground of the new military camp this time distributed more than 50,000 visits to the society. By visiting, not only can you watch the military parade, the award ceremony, and watch the theatrical performance, but also the lucky 5,000 people can stay and watch the subsequent parade.

Most of the subordinate enterprises of the Xuebing Army have just completed construction and have not yet started to make money. In order to make this public military parade a real all-day party, the investment in food and decoration is not small. This made Jiang Shuren, who is the chief financial officer, repeatedly cut the amount of the planning team's declaration because he was shy in his pocket, and even made Chen Shichang and others threaten more than once: Lao Tzu will quit. Fortunately, the Guangdong military government used to have a lot of savings, and the people were wealthy, and the subordinate enterprises in Dongshan County began to make a lot of money after development. It was these three factors that made the budget for this military parade finally passed.

In this Spring Festival, visiting relatives and friends, singing big operas, and setting off firecrackers are no longer the first choice of entertainment for people in Guangzhou and even Guangdong. And being able to enter the new barracks, knock on the melon seeds provided by the student army, and watch the military parade while chatting has become the most talked about program in people's mouths.

The singing of Bai Tassel and Ouyang Yun brought this Spring Festival party to a climax. Although the song that Ouyang Yun sang at the end of the year was a bit out of place, after his explanation, it had a positive effect, which also made the subsequent meeting more intense. Just as Guo Biao said before the start of the exercise: We must show our best mental outlook and give a satisfactory explanation to all those who care about and support the cadet army! After arriving in Guangdong, we have not forgotten our mission, and we have not wasted these months! We are working on it, and we will work harder.

The drill is divided into two major items, namely individual military skills and group actual combat drills.

On the basis of the previous one, in order to increase the visibility, this time two single events have been added, one is the 10-kilometer armed swimming, and the other is the decathlon military all-around.

The armed swimming project is a product of adapting measures to local conditions. Compared with Renqiu, Guangdong can go into the water all year round, so the training of water combat capability has been included in the daily training subject.

The decathlon is all about making it more enjoyable and a way to motivate soldiers to train hard. The 10 military all-rounders are divided into comprehensive shooting (including three firing postures and a variety of firearms), 5 kilometers of armed cross-country, 3,000 meters of armed swimming, blasting and bomb disposal, military vehicle driving and maintenance, use and maintenance of light guns, fighting, climbing, battlefield rescue, radio use and maintenance.

As soon as each of the ten military all-around items was marked, Guo Biao was happy at that time: Isn't this tailor-made for our special operations brigade? There is indeed a suspicion of this, because this so-called decathlon is exactly the skill that all soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Special Brigade must master. They even have more comprehensive and detailed requirements.

He said this in front of everyone, and at that time, Zhang Da was not convinced. He snorted and said: "It's not the student army that has special forces, and our Guangdong army also has ......" Before he finished speaking, Xiang Hanping glared at him and scolded: "Zhang Da, what kind of student army is the Guangdong army, in the future, this kind of words that hinder unity, don't say it!" ”

Zhang Da was still a little in awe of Xiang Hanping, his face turned red when he heard this, and he quickly shut up.

This is a small episode that happened when deciding on a specific gymnastic project. At that time, including Ouyang Yun, they didn't take Zhang Da's words to heart. And it turns out that they really underestimated the strength of the former Yue army. Zhang Da's previous "arrogance" has a basis, and he is not exaggerating. In the final of the decathlon, there were a total of sixteen places, and as a result, the wolf tooth failed to take it all in, not to mention, the original Cantonese department broke through from the encirclement of hundreds of wolf tooth warriors, and seven people were shortlisted, including a colonel named Jiang Yifeng.

The so-called gymnastics, the most exciting is the decathlon competition and team confrontation.

The decathlon was carried out first. It was already the third year of junior high school. Chinese people have the custom of visiting friends and relatives during the New Year, and Chen Shichang and others originally thought that the common people would not be interested in such a purely military activity. But the facts proved that their judgment was wrong, not to mention the first year of junior high school, and the 5,000 people who were drawn out in the second and third years of junior high school did not even arrive, and there was even a phenomenon of dragging relatives and mouths. According to the information collected by Fox Tong, some of the 5,000 tickets that were drawn out had already passed through the hands of scalpers and were fried to ten or even twenty yuan each.

According to common sense, military drills are military activities and should be kept secret from the outside world. Whether or not to open it to the public for viewing or not, there are two positions at the top of the cadet army. Among them, Ouyang Yun is the leader of the opening up, so that the people of Guangdong have a clear understanding of the student army, so as to promote the fit between the army and the local people; Xiang Hanping and the others, out of traditional concepts, thought that there was no need for this, and they thought that this would give the hostile forces an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that they could understand the true strength of the student army. After the vote, the side that led the opening won by a narrow margin.

The decathlon final was originally scheduled to start at 9 o'clock in the morning, however, because the two bigwigs of the Gui family, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, were coming, Ouyang Yun decided to delay it by an hour to live up to the two distinguished guests.

As a new neighbor of the Cadet Army, the relationship between the Gui Department and the Cadet Army is now closer than that of a "brother", and the two sides have frequent high-level exchanges and regular telephone exchanges every week. Li and Bai came to Guangzhou at this time to pay New Year's greetings to Ouyang Yun and all the soldiers of the Scholar Army.

Li and Bai chose the timing of their arrival quite ingeniously, including Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen and Xiang Hanping, everyone agreed that they chose this time to come, the New Year's greeting was fake, and the real strength of the Xuebing Army was real. Mu Jiandie analyzed: "Obviously, the Gui family has a spy hidden in us!" Otherwise, the timing would not have been chosen so cleverly! "The final of the decathlon is undoubtedly the best way to reflect the mental outlook and actual combat ability of the officers and men of the cadet soldiers. Everyone else believes that Li and Bai should be avoided in this crucial game. Ouyang Yun didn't feel that there was a need for this, he said this: "Is the Gui family our enemy?" No, they are our friends, and we should show our sincerity when dealing with friends. For this reason, the game was specially postponed so that the guests could watch it together.

After Ouyang Yun finished speaking, Zhang Da turned his head to Li Hansoul and said, "In the current Republic of China, do you still have friends?" Young people are just too idealistic! ”

Li Hansoul smiled and said, "Although the commander-in-chief is young, he is not a reckless person, he must have his own reasons. ”

Zhang Da looked at him, frowned, and said, "What?" You've become a 'cloud party'?! ”

Li Hansoul looked at him, and his words were full of wisdom: "As long as you can drive away the little devils and restore the rivers and mountains, don't say it's the 'Cloud Party', but what if you become a 'Cloud Disciple'?" ”

The term "cloud apprentice" refers to an officer who had been taught by Ouyang Yun in a rotation training school. These middle- and low-level officers of the former Guangdong Army turned out to be many who were resolutely opposed to Ouyang Yun, but after returning from the officer rotation training school, they seemed to have been brainwashed and became loyal to Ouyang Yun. Zhang Da and the others were not angry, so they had this kind of statement, saying that these people were all bewitched by Ouyang Yun and became his disciples and grandchildren. When Li Hansoul said this at this time, he obviously meant something.

Zhang Da obviously disagreed with Li Hansoul's statement, he shook his head and said with some depression: "Lao Li, you have changed!" ”

Li Hansoul smiled silently, and his gaze turned to Ouyang Yun's face, and his eyes became hot.

In his mind - that's right, Ouyang Yun is young, but he is also a man with real skills and dares to see red with a bayonet. Ouyang Yun does seem immature in dealing with people, but what does it matter? After all, at least for now, he doesn't have much personal ambition, and everything he does is really to defend the country and drive out the Japanese invaders. As a soldier, this wine is enough!

Speaking of which, after the Xuebing Army entered Guangdong, Li and Bai came together for the first time. Out of politeness and respect, Ouyang Yun naturally wanted to give the warmest welcome as a sign of respect.

Li and Bai were obviously also good at grasping the direction of public opinion, and when the convoy entered the city, they did not go straight to the barracks, but first went around along the most prosperous "commercial street" in Guangzhou. And his guards spilled a lot of candy and snacks, which aroused great favor among the people of Guangzhou. Even the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Fox Hitomi in the hands of Changgen wrote this sentence in the report after the incident: The Gui family is suspected of buying people's hearts.

After walking slowly in the city for more than half an hour, the convoy of Li and Bai slowly drove to the barracks amid the cheers of the people in Guangzhou. As the officer on duty informed Ouyang Yun and others of the situation, Ouyang Yun personally led all the high-level leaders of the Cadet Army to welcome out of the gate and let the band play a welcome song.

For Ouyang Yun's sincerity, Li and Bai also returned the same degree of sincerity, and the convoy stopped from afar, and the two of them got out of the car together, and then straightened their military uniforms, and then strode towards the welcoming team. Far away, Ouyang Yun shouted loudly: "Brother Li, Brother Bai!" But I look forward to you, it's the road! ”

"It's not hard! Hehe, Brother Ouyang, the old brothers are giving you New Year's greetings! ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I should have been my younger brother to visit the New Year's first......"

Compared with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, two bigwigs who have been in the Republic of China for many years, Ouyang Yun's political skills are still immature. Fortunately, the Xuebing Army is now a real strong soldier, which only adds a lot of confidence to him, so in the "confrontation" with Li and Bai, there is a momentum of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

It has been said that politicians are liars first and foremost, and this is true. As a result, the first large gathering of the senior officials of the Gui Department and the Cadet Army kicked off in the conversation between these three hidden talents.
