Two months later.

One day in September, in a military camp in Panyu, Guangdong, Ouyang Yun, accompanied by Li Tieshu, Li Hansoul, Chu Tiange, Ji Xingwen and others, was watching a performance of reporting on training results, when suddenly, Bai Tassel, who had just been called aside by a staff officer, hurriedly walked back. Her face was very bad, she walked behind Ouyang Yun, and said in his ear: "Ouyang, Renqiu Oilfield was found by the Japanese." ”

"What?!" Ouyang Yun was shocked, turned around and exclaimed.

The others were startled by this sound and turned their heads to look at him.

He glanced at everyone, his face was heavy, and said, "Renqiu oil field was discovered by the Japanese. ”

Among the people, because of what Ouyang Yun did when he was in Renqiu, only Chu Tiange and a group of old men in the army knew the importance of oil to the Japanese. And Li Hansoul and the others didn't even know about the existence of the Renqiu Oilfield.

The Japanese army occupied the entire territory of Hebei in mid-August. The situation in North China has not changed because of the early rise of Zhang Zizhong and the 57th Army, the difference is that Zhang Zizhong did not stay in Beijing, and the 57th Army did not lose it. Zhang Zizhong led the 57th Army to withdraw from North China, which was a strategic retreat.

In addition to the underground factory of Renqiu Oilfield, everything in North China related to the Cadet Army was completely sealed, and all the other factories and mines that could be moved were moved, and those that could not be moved were completely destroyed. After evacuating to Guangdong, Ouyang Yun began to worry about the fate of the Renqiu oil field soon after he woke up, because he knew too well what the discovery of oil fields in China meant for the Second World War.

The most fundamental reason why the Japanese army sent troops to Southeast Asia was for strategic materials such as oil and rubber. If it weren't for this, although sooner or later the Japanese would have attacked Southeast Asia and entered the traditional circle of power of the United States and Britain because of their ambitions, this time would certainly not have been as fast as it had been deduced in the original time and space.

In this barracks in Panyu, the four reorganized armies, the first guerrilla army, and the newly formed fifth army were given to report and perform.

After the Battle of Wujiang, the Japanese army was greatly damaged and its troops were scattered, which did not cause much trouble to the withdrawal of the Cadet Army. To Ouyang Yun's surprise, Huang Ye and Guo Yucheng played brilliantly, using the only 2,000 regular troops in their hands to bring out more than 20,000 cannon fodder troops composed of 50,000 people. It was precisely with more than 20,000 young and strong people, and with the foundation of the Jiangsu First Security Division, the 26th Division, and the 145th Division, that he successfully established the Fifth Army. As for the Fourth Army, on the basis of the original Fujian army, the three subordinate divisions have all reached the scale of the first division of the army by recruiting and replenishing troops in Fujian and Guangdong. Chu Tiange, as the commander of the First Guerrilla Army, was originally just an empty shelf commander, but this time, Ouyang Yun also filled all the vacancies for him, and handed over the mountain division formed by Huang Haifu's subordinates of Overlord Mountain to him to command.

After two months of reorganized training, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the First Guerrilla Army have all begun to take on combat effectiveness, and today's report and performance can be regarded as Ouyang Yun's test of their training results at this stage.

At this time, the debriefing performance was only halfway through, but Ouyang Yun didn't have the heart to watch it anymore. He said to the crowd, "Keep staring here, I'll go back to Guangzhou first." ”

Chu Tiange: "I'll go too." ”

"Good!"

The two of them left immediately, looking at their departing backs, Li Hansoul asked Li Tieshu in a low voice: "Looking at the commander's face, is this matter very serious?" ”

Li Tieshu nodded heavily, and replied in a low voice: "Japan is an island country and lacks strategic resources. The Renqiu oil field was originally developed under the organization of the commander, and it was originally for the development of mechanized troops and air forces, but now it seems that it has made a wedding dress for the Japanese. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Hansoul's face also became solemn: "North China has been completely occupied by the Japanese, and Renqiu's location is close to Tianjin, far away from the territory of Yan Xishan and others. Renqiu Oilfield is so important, the little devil will definitely send heavy troops to guard it, and in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have any good solution. ”

Li Tieshu sighed and said depressedly: "The scale of the Renqiu Oilfield is not small, according to the commander, as far as Japan's current demand is concerned, it will not be a problem to supply it for decades. After the end of the fuel problem, the Japanese are bound to vigorously develop the navy and air force, which does not bode well for us to operate Fujian and Guangdong! ”

Before the Wujiang War, the Japanese army had already frequently infiltrated Fujian through Zhejiang, and recently, the troops stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been mobilized on a large scale, and Japanese warships can often be seen along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, which makes the top brass of the cadet army smell the smell of gunsmoke. The Scholar Army was a major problem for the Japanese, and when they were in North China, they had aborted their "North China High Autonomy Program", and in the Second Battle of the Great Wall, they almost single-handedly turned the tide; When he came to Fujian and Guangdong, he sent troops to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army in the three major battles of Jiangyin Fortress, Nanjing, and Wujiang, making his so-called arrogant idea of destroying China in three months a joke. It can be said that the Cadet Army is now a thorn stuck in the throat of the Japanese army, which has made the Japanese unbearable. As a result, Ouyang Yun had to worry that the course of history might deviate from the original track of time and space, and the Japanese would give priority to the Fujian and Guangdong strategies.

This is also the main reason why he is in such a hurry to reorganize the army.

On the way back to Guangzhou, Ouyang Yun asked Bai Tassel to contact Pan Meiren through the walkie-talkie, and asked her to immediately inform Guo Biao, Tie Linfei and Mu Jiandie, and in two and a half hours, he would meet them at the headquarters.

Two and a half hours later, Ouyang Yun rushed back to the headquarters, and as soon as he got out of the car, Pan Meiren greeted him and said, "Commander-in-chief, Commander Guo, Commander Tie, and Director Mu are already waiting for you in Conference Room 3." ”

Ouyang Yun nodded and said to Liu Kui: "Just let the tassel follow, you all go back to rest, you have been tired of everyone for the past few days." ”

Liu Kui nodded, gathered the accompanying guards, and asked them to go back to the camp first. He called the commander of the guard company on duty over and gave him a few words, and then left on his own.

Ouyang Yun strode into the headquarters, Pan Meiren waited for him to enter the building, pulled the white tassel aside and said: "Little sister, your trick is useless, that Takahashi Ryoko is thick-skinned, not only did not restrain himself, but intensified it, in the past few days, he has come here two or three times a day." ”

Yoshiko Takahashi was the chief representative of the "Japanese Anti-War League" in Guangzhou, and the daughter of the famous leader of the alliance, Hiroshi Takahashi. As a well-known non-governmental anti-war organization in Japan, the Anti-War League came to China to operate before the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out. However, shortly after the outbreak of the Battle of Nanjing, this Ryoko Takahashi, who graduated from the Soviet Union, came to China, but did not follow his father's legacy to go to the headquarters of the Anti-War League, but came to Guangzhou with his assistant.

According to Takahashi's own account, she did it for two reasons. One is that he wants to establish a branch in Guangzhou, and the other is because he was impressed by Ouyang Yun's personal charm and wanted to help the Cadet Army do something. Originally, this was nothing, but because she repeatedly put the latter sentence on her lips when she was in contact with the high-level of the Cadet Army, and she came to the Cadet Army Headquarters to inquire about Ouyang Yun's news at every turn, and she was very good-looking, which aroused the high vigilance of Pan Meiren and Bai Tassel. The sixth sense of women makes them feel that Ryoko Takahashi's doing this is definitely not as simple as it seems, this Japanese woman will not fall in love with her own man, right? Therefore, not long after Ouyang Yun returned to Guangzhou, Bai Tassel and Pan Meiren began to discuss how to dispel this Japanese woman's bad intentions. Just a few days ago, Bai Tassel even took out the methods used to mix the rivers and lakes in the past, specifically talked to a Japanese woman, asked her to pay attention to her speech and behavior, and solemnly warned her: Ouyang Yun is already famous, let her stay away from him.

But now it seems that the two women have done so much, but it seems that nothing has happened. No, this morning, Takahashi Ryoko came twice, and when he caught someone, he asked: Why hasn't your commander-in-chief come back yet?

Bai Tassel listened to Pan Meiren's words, and knew that his appearance last time was unsuccessful, and gritted his teeth and said: "This woman is really shameless, hum, it seems that more drastic measures will be taken." ”

When she said this, Pan Meiren was a little scared, and said, "Little sister, what are the more drastic methods, you, don't do stupid things." ”

Bai Tassel thought about it, and didn't know what funny idea Lu Dao came up with, so he laughed and said, "Second sister, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." I'm actually trying to do good things. ”

"Huh? Do good? Pan Meiren blinked and looked at her a little puzzled.

White Tassel looked around to make sure no one around noticed them, and leaned into her ear and muttered quietly. As she spoke, a sly smile appeared on her face.

Pan Meiren turned her head to listen, and a knowing smile gradually appeared on her face.

Pan Meiren and Bai Tassel muttered in the corridor outside the headquarters building for a long time, and walked to Conference Room No. 3 with smiles on their faces. At this moment, in a barracks in Panyu, Liu Zheliang, who was organizing officers above the platoon commander level of the regiment to conduct interrogation and study, suddenly sneezed loudly abruptly.

In this reorganization, Liu Zheliang was sent by Ouyang Yun to the 13th Division of the Fifth Army and served as the brigade commander of the 38th Brigade. And what he didn't expect was that he was far away from the circle of the headquarters, but his two sisters-in-law did not forget him. The brigade commander's sneeze was loud, disrupting the study atmosphere in the conference room, and the officers and men who had been listening carefully raised their heads one after another and looked at the brigade seat holding a book with a strange look.

Liu Zheliang is not very accustomed to his current identity, and when he saw everyone looking at him with such eyes, he was a little embarrassed, and paused and smiled: "Maybe I caught a cold yesterday." Okay, let's take a break. ”

"Oh!" Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of the officers and men of the 38th Brigade came from the former Jiangsu First Security Division and the more than 20,000 strong men, most of whom were illiterate, so Liu Zheliang opened this cultural course in addition to the prescribed training program, but he did not expect that those men who were alive and well on the training ground would become old scalpers in the fields when they entered the class. The posture is quite low, but unfortunately the comprehension is too poor, often a professional term has to be explained by him for a long time, during this time, it can make him tossed. The people who teach are tired, and the people who learn are not easy, so it is no wonder that as soon as he mentioned resting, the old men below cheered.

It was only at this time that Liu Zheliang realized how difficult it was to lead troops.
