Chapter 5 North China Critical Models

Self-propelled artillery in this era is definitely a high-precision weapon. The first self-propelled guns in history are well documented to have been made by the French, but due to the lack of effective armor of the vehicle itself and the small diameter of the gun, the survivability on the battlefield was not good, and it was only suitable for fire support of infantry. Historically, self-propelled guns with the concept of modern military use were created by the Germans, and of course, because of the limitations of the guns themselves, they were originally used as pure self-propelled anti-tank guns. The self-propelled artillery developed by the Xuebing Research and Development Institute was once considered to be a modified tank after the light when it first came out, but after Ouyang Yun introduced the concept of self-propelled artillery into the military academy tutorial, it was only then that Ji Xingwen and others understood the difference between it and the tank.

The military factory under the Xuebing Army now has two special workshops for the production of self-propelled artillery, one of which is the Renqiu Underground Arsenal, and the other is located in the hidden mountain of Taihang Mountain. The arsenal is the only one in the industrial system to which the student army belongs that cannot make ends meet, and the part of the profit from other profitable industries of the student army has been filled into this black hole by one-half, in Jiang Shuren's words, if all these funds are used for people's livelihood, it will be enough to add a television set to every family in Jicha. Of course, he was just talking. Due to the grim domestic and international situation, he also knew that in order to protect this hard-won territory, it is absolutely necessary to increase military investment. At present, the two arsenals under the Cadet Corps are able to produce three self-propelled guns, nine tanks (including three anti-aircraft combat vehicles), and 17 six-wheeled Kongming armored vehicles every week due to the use of advanced assembly line operations. And the profitable car factory has three off-road vehicles and five trucks off the assembly line every week. This is also due to the lack of capacity of backup factories, such as steel plants and other supporting plants, if the raw materials can keep up, this number will be multiplied several times.

A battalion of self-propelled guns, that's twenty-four hanging. After Ouyang Yunha laughed, he said to Li Ganjiang: "Ganjiang, you can really open your mouth." Okay, I promise you. ”

"Xie Lu Xie Junzuo!" Li Ganjiang's mouth immediately opened and saluted. sat down, suddenly stood up again, and said: "Junzao, I remember something, just give the car is not enough, our division does not have the control talent in this area." This issue of the cadets of the artillery department, do you give us half of the old man? ”

Before he finished speaking, Guo Da and the others couldn't sit still, Hu Li immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Junzao, this is not good, they are just ordinary troops, we are a serious chariot unit, this professional soldier, naturally we have to choose first." ”

This situation was taken into account by Ouyang Yun and Li Tieshu, Zhang Zhen, and Ji Xingwen when they discussed it before. At that time, Zhang Zhen said: "It's best not to open this mouth, otherwise, you wait and see, you will definitely make trouble on the spot." He looked at the three of them, and found that they all had smiles on their faces, so he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Hu Li, sit down." How? This little devil hasn't hit me yet, but we started infighting first? I don't think I'm busy enough now, so I'm adding to the chaos, aren't I? ”

Hu Li was stunned for a moment, looked at his eyes that began to be ruthless, and sat down in a daze. As Ouyang Yun's position gets bigger and bigger, the personal prestige of this little chief also rises, although he usually always looks like a good man, but there is the name of "Anti-Japanese Heroes" there, but no one dares to mess with him.

Ouyang Yun glanced at everyone solemnly and said, "Self-propelled artillery and tank combat vehicles are all technical arms, and if they don't have a considerable amount of training to throw on the battlefield, it is no different from sending them to death." At present, among the reserve units directly under the army, there are already two regiments of infantry, one battalion of combat vehicle units, and one battalion of self-propelled artillery units that have met the training requirements. Of these two regiments, I am going to set up an independent brigade and put it in Hengshui to replace the original garrison. As for the chariot troops of this battalion, it is naturally given to Hu Li. The self-propelled artillery belongs to the third division for the time being, which can be regarded as support for their dangerous mission. Okay, just now we focused on the operational arrangements along the Great Wall, and now we will discuss the Shandong line. The loss of Shandong is a matter of time, so the defense of the border area must not be slackened. It was not enough to use only two regiments of the newly formed army to take charge of the defense of this line, so I wanted to transfer the 29th Division of the former 37th Army to assist in the defense at the same time. The coordination work will be the responsibility of the deputy chief of staff of Kyrgyzstan. Lao Ji, no problem, right? ”

Ji Xingwen said: "No problem, leave it to me." After a pause, he said: "Now the commander of the 37th Division is Wang Zhibang, and he and General Tong Linge both want to be merged into our student army, according to what you mean, after I explain to them, they are willing to keep the current establishment, but they just hope to get exactly the same treatment as our other troops." ”

After the death of Song Zheyuan, the existing officer corps of the 29th Army reported to Nanjing that Qin Dechun would take over as the commander of the army after consultation. After the reshuffling of Beiping, the territory was assigned to the 57th Army, and most of the military strength was assigned to the Xuebing Army. Among them, there are the teaching corps controlled by Qin Dechun and the new 37th division controlled by Tong Linge and Wang Zhibang. According to Qin Dechun and Tong Linge's meaning, they wanted to directly join the army, and the reason why Ouyang Yun rejected their kindness was that on the one hand, he did not want to excessively stimulate the forces of Nanjing and the surrounding forces, and on the other hand, he had deep-seated considerations.

Historically, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Nanjing government established the First War Zone and appointed Feng Yuxiang as the commander-in-chief to command the 29th Army, Han Fuqu Division, Yan Xishan and other departments to unify the resistance against Japan. I don't know if it was because the time was advanced, this incident that impressed Ouyang Yun in his memory did not happen, although the Nanjing side shouted loudly, but there was no actual action. Even if Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong wrote a request together, they still did not send a general who could unify the orders to the many forces in North China. Ouyang Yun knew this history, and knew that the so-called First War Zone was actually only in name, although most of the troops and forces in North China were developed from the former Northwest Army, but there were not many people who really bought General Feng's account. Since this is the case, if the 29th Army continues to exist, then the future expansion of the army can be carried out openly.

After listening to Ji Xingwen's words, Ouyang Yun thought for a while and said: "There is no problem with this, our Cadet Army is the reincarnation of the 29th Army Cadet Corps, no matter from which point of view, we are all brother troops." Lao Li, how are those security groups anyway now? ”

The riots in Peiping were mainly triggered by the security forces belonging to the former 29th Army. After the Cadet Army and the 57th Army entered the counterinsurgency together, they recruited a lot of security forces, and Li Tieshu was in charge of screening out some combat-ready soldiers from them for training, and this work has been going on for nearly two months.

Li Tieshu nodded: "There is no problem, you can be sent to the battlefield at any time." ”

"Okay, let them go to Hengshui. They were originally security forces, so they were given the number of a security brigade," Ouyang Yun said, looked at Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen, and Zhang Zhen, and said: "A few of us, I am in charge of the Great Wall, Deputy Commander Li is in charge of Shandong, Mu Jiandie, and you will directly deliver the information from Shandong in the future, and you will directly deliver it to Deputy Commander Li." On the Chahar side, the deputy chief of staff of Ji is in chief, in addition to the 143rd Division, the security forces also have the original brigade of the Cantonese department, all of which are under your command. The Cantonese brigade maintains its original establishment and does not understand, but all the supplies are provided by our army. Mr. Jiang, please don't deduct it, I have an agreement with General Xiang. ”

After the Cantonese system led by Chen Jitang was defeated, Xuebingjun and Xiang Hanping could be said to be the ultimate gainers. Among them, the benefits of the cadet army are even greater. Their Dongshan County in Fujian Province was not only consolidated, but also gained a piece of territory in the neighboring Guangdong, and more importantly, they obtained several hundred planes, which made the strength of the Cadet Army suddenly gain a qualitative increase, and this may be the reason why Nanjing has been slow to deal with the situation in North China. As long as he doesn't get to the point where the real country is about to be broken and the family is about to die, Ouyang Yun has reason to believe that he will be like the best troops, becoming another target for someone to be outside the country and settle down first.

Jiang Shuren nodded and said, "As long as it is a unit that really fights devils, we will not be short of a penny of their salary." However, Ouyang, I've heard that the Cantonese troops are very empty, do we need to verify the specific number of people before distributing? ”

Ouyang Yun waved his hand: "No, we only have military command, but no jurisdiction, we just need to do our own thing." After a pause, he continued the topic above, looked at Zhang Zhen and said, "Chief of Staff Zhang, although you are not on the front line this time, the burden on your body is the heaviest. You will be responsible not only for the work of the Self-Defense Forces, but also for the logistical supply of our troops on three fronts. And most importantly, if the three of us fall into the trap of the authorities, please give us a slap in the face. ”

Before this meeting, Ouyang Yun and the others had already held a small meeting to discuss the specific division of labor among the four people. Ouyang Yun originally wanted Li Tieshu to stay, but he pushed it off on the grounds that he was not good at government affairs, and even proposed that Ouyang Yun, as the supreme commander of the Cadet Army, was in danger after passing through Xifengkou, so he should not be in danger himself. And Ouyang Yun naturally couldn't stay behind, the two of them quarreled for a long time, and Zhang Zhen took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to stay, which solved this problem.

Ouyang Yun highlighted the importance of staying behind at this time, which can be regarded as an indirect praise for Zhang Zhen's sacrificial spirit.

Among the four military-level officers in the Cadet Army, Zhang Zhen's background is the most orthodox and his experience is also the most brilliant. If it weren't for Jiang's stupid trick at the beginning, he would not have gotten together with Ouyang Yun and others in any way. And after experiencing the rejection at the beginning and the cold eyes in the middle stage, he saw Ouyang Yun's extraordinary "mutation" ability, and now he completely regarded himself as a member of the Cadet Army. Xu saw Ouyang Yun's ulterior motives, he waved his hand and said: "The military seat is serious, in fact, no matter what position it is, as long as it can contribute to the fight against devils, as long as it is beneficial to the survival and development of our student army, I will do it without hesitation." You can rest assured that you can go to the front line and command the troops, and the rear will be handed over to us. ”

"Chief of Staff Zhang said it well! Comrades, let's work together! ”

"Try!!" ——

There's been a lot of things lately, everyone, I've added a thousand more words today, hehe
