After nearly half a year of rest, the Xuebing Army finally decided to take action against the bandits on the border of Fujian and Guangdong. Time waits for no one, if the wheel of history is not stopped by Ouyang Yun, then, in July, the Japanese army will inevitably launch a full-scale war of aggression against China. According to the information sent back by Xia Wenyun, the encirclement and suppression operations currently being carried out by the Japanese army in puppet Manchuria are precisely to prepare for a full-scale invasion of China, and they want to solve the internal troubles first, and then concentrate their efforts on launching an offensive in order to destroy China in the shortest possible time.

The phrase "annihilation of China" seems quite funny now. Not to mention anything else, taking the Second Great Wall War as an example, the Japanese army finally ended up in disgrace. However, when these four words were placed in front of Ouyang Yun's case, he still looked at the matter extremely seriously.

That afternoon, in the auditorium of the newly built base camp in Panyu, Ouyang Yun organized and held the first military meeting above the regimental commander since the Cadet Army entered Guangdong.

The meeting began on time at half past one, and before one o'clock, the junior officers arrived. At about 20 o'clock, the bigwigs of the student army arrived in turn and sat down on the rostrum. Ten minutes before the start of the meeting, Chen Shichang led a group of staff officers to distribute the meeting documents to the participants.

When I got the document bag, I saw the words "Top Secret: Level 1" in the upper left corner, and many officers were sitting upright, and they no longer dared to move around and talk to each other at will.

In the regulations on the secrecy of the cadet army, there are five levels of secrecy -- top secret, secret documents, and internal secrets, of which top secret is divided into three levels. As long as there is the word "secret" on all documents, regulations, and regulations, then it is strictly forbidden to disseminate them. The requirements for top secrecy are too high, not only will they be withdrawn afterwards, but it is strictly forbidden to discuss them in private, and of course, they are not allowed to mention them to their families, relatives, and friends. If there is a leak, once it is discovered, it is a serious crime, and the lightest punishment is dismissal from military (public office) and detention for a certain period of time.

After the documents were divided, the officer in charge of the roll call at the gate handed a list to Chen Shichang, who reported the news to Ouyang Yun after confirming that all the attendees were present.

At this time, it was not a few minutes before half past one, he walked to the middle of the rostrum, sat down, opened the folder, sorted out his clothes, looked at his watch, and then adjusted the microphone and said, "Comrades, I am Ouyang Yun." Responsible for presiding over today's meeting. ”

"Are there any people attending today's meeting who did not attend the officer training course?"

Running military academies is a tradition of the cadet army, and the rotational training of officers is one of the compulsory subjects for the army building of the cadet army. According to the size of the rank, all the officers present here at the rank of lieutenant colonel and above should have participated in the advanced training course. Ouyang Yun was one of the lecturers of the refresher class, and he asked the meaning of this sentence to pave the way for the following sentence: "I have participated in it, so you must know me." What is the purpose of the Cadet Army? Anti-Japanese. This is not just rhetoric -- according to reliable information obtained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Fox Hitomi, the Japanese army is currently preparing for war and is very likely to launch another war of aggression against China within half a year. Unlike any previous one, this time it will be all-out war. The fascist stalwarts in the Japanese army are even more arrogant and shouting that they want to destroy China! Comrades, the burden on our shoulders is heavy......"

In that time and space, Ouyang Yun was most afraid of meetings. In view of his own fear of meetings, most of the meetings of the Cadet Army were compressed very short before coming to Guangdong. However, since coming to Guangdong, careful people have found that the meetings of the Cadet Army have begun to grow up. And to investigate the reason, this may be related to Ouyang Yun's eloquence. For example, in this meeting, although the main personnel of the headquarters repeatedly emphasized that it should be as short as possible and not to waste time on this kind of formalism, according to the current situation, Ouyang Yun obviously forgot this point.

After talking nonsense for 20 minutes, he cut to the point: "The main task of this meeting is to sum up the gains and losses of the military reform some time ago, and secondly, to make arrangements for the tasks in the next stage.

"In view of the fact that the training of the Second Army and the Third Army has not yet achieved the intended results, the headquarters has decided that the main force of the Fujian Raiders this time will be the First Army, and in addition, the brigade-level units that have entered the top 10 in the nearly three-month exercise can participate as reserve troops."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp exchange of voices, apparently with some objections to this decision.

"Smack!" Ouyang Yun slapped his right palm heavily on the table and shouted, "How many times have you emphasized it?" If you have any objections to the content or resolution of the meeting, you can raise them before the end of the meeting, but it is strictly forbidden to discuss them privately during the meeting! Why can't it be changed? We are an army, not a stall market; You are soldiers, and you are commanders, not traders! Please pay attention to the discipline of the venue! I don't want anyone to be taken out of the house because they can't keep their mouths shut! That's not a glorious thing! ”

As soon as he said this, there was silence below.

This time of renovation, the maintenance of discipline and the execution of orders are the first priority. The second is a change in tactical perspective. All of you here are the second-line commanders of the army, and these are the words that are usually said to the first-level commanders the most, but at this time they can't help it.

The Fujian strategy of the Xuebing Army has started some time ago, but for various reasons, it has achieved little success. Ouyang Yun specially proposed it this time and carried it out as a task, because of the time problem, he didn't want to dwell too much on this matter.

"In order to coordinate the operations of various units, the command decided to set up a leading group for operations in Fujian. I am the team leader, and the deputy team leaders are Li Tieshu and Li Hansoul. During my absence from Guangdong, Deputy Commander Xiang Hanping was in charge of the work, with Guo Biao, Zhang Da and Jiang Shuren assisting. ”

"Moving on to the next topic, about the handling of the collusion between some military officers and local officials to make profits."

The Cantonese army has lived in Guangdong for a long time, and most of the officers are locals. This is not only conducive to communication between the military and the localities, but also brings some hidden dangers. The worst influence is that some local tyrants and shoddy gentry and military officers cooperate to smuggle tobacco and salt, and engage in criminal activities such as pornography, gambling, and drugs.

Ouyang Yun put down the documents in his hand, glanced sternly at the officers in the audience, and said, "I'm very happy that everyone is here today, including those who have their names in the Political Department." This shows that they are remorseful, and that's good! After discussion with everyone in the headquarters, we decided to give them a chance to repent and mend themselves, but we hope that they can solve all the problems at once, and if it is found out afterwards that they have concealed something, sorry, then you will not have a second chance to repent. After the meeting is dismissed, those who have the following behaviors are invited to report to the Political Department: (1) Those who participate in pornography, gambling, or drug business in society; 2. Having received benefits from others and persecuted the people; Three ,......"

As a warlord force, a considerable number of people in the former Cantonese army had committed illegal acts. And the reason why Ouyang Yun, who was jealous and hateful, was willing to let them go this time was because of their restraint during this time. Of course, for those who are unrepentant, they have already been taken down before this meeting, and some have already been tried or even shot.

The reason why this meeting was classified as a third-class top secret was because some of the officers were dragged into the water, as well as high-ranking officials from the Nanjing government and the Kuomintang in Guangdong.

Ouyang Yun is not afraid of the retaliation of those high-ranking officials, but he must consider the impact and consequences - the so-called wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. There is also a saying that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the student army wants to survive in China, if it wants to become the main force of resistance against Japan in the future, and even go to various places, then some people cannot be offended. Otherwise, it will certainly affect the development of the Cadet Army, which is, after all, a local army, not a government army that can take it all.

Although Ouyang Yun controlled the time very much in the later stage, the meeting still lasted for nearly four hours. The last hour was spent in response to the criticism of the Cantonese officers who had begun to exchange ears. A considerable number of them were militants, and they all felt extremely unfair that they could not participate in this Fujian raid. Some people even swore that although they and their brothers performed very poorly in the exercises, it was because it was not because of actual combat. If he did it with real swords, his regiment would not be weaker than any other unit in the army.

The person who said this was Lin Haige, the commander of the 010 Brigade of the 2nd Army and the 4th Division. After he finished saying these crazy words, Li Hansoul said to everyone on the rostrum: "This kid is a fierce general, and he is very good at fighting. Zhang Da asked me for it several times, but I was reluctant to let it go. I think I can let him try. ”

Zhang Da echoed: "I also have this opinion. There are many bandits in the border areas of Fujian and Guangdong who are not afraid of death, and letting Lin Haige deal with them can be regarded as ruthless. ”

Li Tieshu had a different opinion: "Two, listening to your words, Lin Haige dares to work hard?" ”

"Yes, it is indeed brave, and it is always at the forefront of war."

Li Tieshu: "This can't let him go." Although the ultimate goal of fighting a war is to win, if your own casualties are too large, it will outweigh the losses. The ultimate goal of our army is to drive out the little devils. If you die in a civil war, it's not worth it! ”

Zhang Da frowned, obviously disagreeing with his point of view: "Lao Li, how can there be immortals in war?" If you encounter a bandit like Wang Bashan and don't want to die, you can only bypass it. ”

Ouyang Yun let them argue for a while, and then made a decision and said, "Okay, I'll give Lin Haige a chance, but I have a word first, and this is the only case." If the casualties of the 32nd Regiment are too large, then I will not give him a reward even if he wins the battle - brothers, behind every soldier there is a family. Their lives may not be important to us, but to their parents and families, they are pillars! If you can reduce casualties, don't be brutal, unless there are special circumstances, I will not allow such a thing as injuring 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of myself. ”
