21 years old as a brigade commander? Direct promotion from major to colonel? In terms of Ouyang Yun's qualifications, it is really too mismatched.After the 29th Army entered Hebei, the expansion has been sworn to imperative, and at the peak of history, the 29th Army had reached the establishment of 48 regiments, that is to say, there were 48 regiment commanders. Among these people, there are many famous generals and fierce generals (the 29th Army seems to be rich in this, which may be related to the fact that General Feng Yuxiang is the founder of the Northwest Army. As traditional Chinese soldiers, they pay more attention to loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, courage and faith, historically, such as Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an, Zhao Dengyu, Ji Xingwen, etc., they have always held high the banner of the Northwest Army, it is because of the support of traditional concepts), Ouyang Yun, as an outsider, has no experience in the army, and has climbed to a high position with some strange skills, not to mention disobeying the public, even he himself, he also feels that this official is a bit of a child's play. The independent brigade is called a brigade, but in fact it belongs to the divisional establishment, and the brigade commander is equivalent to the division commander, who became the division commander at the age of 21. The so-called higher he climbs, the worse he falls, he has no real people to rely on in the 29th Army, and the amount of strength he can rely on is too thin.

Li Tieshu, Gu Lianyun, and Ouyang Yun themselves are all aware of this, for Ouyang Yun, it is naturally a good thing to be able to control a little more army, but the posture still has to be made - so at the military meeting of the 29th Army, which he described as dividing the cake the next day, when Song Zheyuan announced the appointment in public, he once again expressed his strength and hoped that the military seat could be reconsidered.

It's a bit interesting to say, at this meeting, except for Ouyang Yun, who is a colonel, the lowest rank of the others is also a major general, which can be described as a grand gathering of generals.

Among the generals, only Feng Zhi'an had seen Ouyang Yun, but he came very late. Before the meeting, the others looked at Ouyang Yun holding a notebook, asking this one to sign for a while, pouring a cup of tea for another time, plus his military rank was still a major, they all thought that he was a staff officer of the military department or an adjutant of the military seat, but no one thought that he might also be one of the participants. When Guo Biao announced the start of the meeting, everyone saw that he actually sat down in the last seat, and a few people who were not fake couldn't help but widen their eyes, secretly saying that this kid is so boring? What do we have to do with him? Clerk? You should sit at the next table!

There are a few people who know the news, such as Feng Zhi'an and Zhang Zizhong, the former knows Ouyang Yun, and the latter only then knows that Lu Dao, a small officer who admires himself, is one of the "anti-Japanese heroes" who is in the limelight, the head of the cadet corps, and is about to be promoted to brigade commander, I couldn't help but look at him twice, judging that the other party's age is no more than 25 years old, and secretly shook his head, saying that the military seat is really a bit of nonsense, this is obviously still a big child! Give him an army of almost 10,000 men? Suspense! He was sighing secretly when Song Zheyuan and Qin Dechun walked into the conference room.

Everyone stood up in unison, saluted, and shouted, "Throne! Vice-military seat! "I've seen the military seat, the deputy military seat."

Song Zheyuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Everyone sit down." He sat down first, and when Qin Dechun also sat down, he swept over everyone's faces with a smiling gaze, and then pointed at Ouyang Yun and said, "Ouyang, you are a new face here, introduce yourself." ”

Ouyang Yun stood up and gave a beautiful military salute: "Yes!" He said: "In Xia Ouyang Yun, he is now the acting head of the student corps, please give me more advice!" After speaking, he raised his hand, turned his upper body and gave a military salute to everyone.

Song Zheyuan said: "What acting regiment commander, from today onwards you are the colonel and brigade commander of the Xuebing Independent Brigade, come, let me introduce you to the generals." As he spoke, he started with his left hand and introduced them one by one.

"Deputy Army Commander Lieutenant General Qin Dechun, the think tank of our 29th Army." Qin Dechun was a tall and thin man, and he smiled and nodded at Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun immediately gave him a military salute and said, "I've seen Deputy Army Commander Qin." Song Zheyuan pointed to a middle-aged man with two sword eyebrows on his right hand and said, "Lieutenant General Zhang Weifan, Chief of Staff." Ouyang Yun immediately gave a military salute to Zhang Weifan and said, "Please ask the chief of staff for more advice!" Zhang Weifan bowed slightly.

Next is Zhang Zizhong and Feng Zhi'an......

Except for Qin Dechun, who appeared after Song Zheyuan, the other generals here, Ouyang Yun, the others, all got their signatures, and they were already acquainted. Song Zheyuan's words to correct Ouyang Yun were earth-shattering, and many people felt incredible. Song Zheyuan had just finished introducing everyone, and Zhang Zizhong took the lead and asked Ouyang Yun: "Brigade Commander Ouyang, Gui Geng this year?" ”

Ouyang Yun replied honestly: "21." ”

"Whew!" Now, not to mention Zhang Zizhong, who asked questions, the others, including Zhang Weifan, couldn't help but froze, Zhang Weifan was the first to wake up, he looked at the expressions of his old comrades-in-arms, and then looked at Song Zheyuan, seeing that he had been smiling, coughed and said, "Junzao, are you too young?" He hasn't been the regiment commander for long, this experience in leading soldiers ......" He didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was already obvious, if Ouyang Yun, a little guy and an outsider, was allowed to be the brigade commander, then the many veteran commanders in the 29th Army would definitely have opinions - it boiled down to one sentence, it was difficult to convince the public!

Song Zheyuan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, looked at everyone and asked: "Do you know the predecessor of the student corps - the 25th Division student training class, there are only more than 200 people in total, but more than 200 people have been annihilated under the leadership of Commander Ouyang, more than 400 devils, once the Japanese sneak attack on the station of the student corps in Tianjin, and the Japanese troops who participated in that time were all Umezu's elite military police. The second time in Wancun, Shi Yousan and the Japanese wanted to make trouble with Beiping Autonomy, but they were ambushed by Ouyang Regiment Commander, more than 2,700 people, more than 200 devils were all annihilated, and Shi Yousan was also captured alive. In the two battles, the casualties of the student corps were only in single digits - Shi Yousan, everyone won't know each other, right? is also a veteran of our Northwest Army, but he is vulnerable in front of Commander Ouyang? As an officer and lead the troops, as long as you can kill the enemy on the battlefield, know how to strategize, and be able to command the troops on the other side, this age and experience will be great! ”

Except for Feng Zhi'an and Qin Dechun who knew about these things, the others didn't know, and when they heard Song Zheyuan say this, their eyes changed one by one when they looked at Ouyang Yun - more than 200 people, single digits of casualties, more than 400 devils were wiped out, and Shi Yousan was captured alive, and they didn't dare to guarantee that they could fight like this, this "anti-Japanese double hero" really deserves its name!

Zhang Weifan sighed, leaned back in the chair and said, "The future is terrifying!" He turned to Song Zheyuan and said: "Congratulations to the military seat, my 29th Army has another fierce general!" ”

As soon as he said this, it was difficult for others to say anything, and Ouyang Yun's appointment was settled calmly.

After a while, Song Zheyuan said: "Brothers, when we were reorganized by Zhang Shaoshuai, did you ever think that our 29th Army would also have such a day?!" ”

When the 29th Army first became an army, it was undoubtedly the most difficult period for the army.

Zhang Zizhong said: "Yes! Since Zhang followed Feng Gong to embark on the revolutionary road, he has experienced no less than 100 large and small wars, but his time in Shanxi was the most cowardly. Unexpectedly, we also have today's scenery - now we have more than 50,000 wings and soldiers, and we finally don't need to send people under the fence and rely on others to live on their noses. ”

The generals expressed their views one after another, and the atmosphere in the conference room became unprecedentedly warm for a while.

Song Zheyuan seemed to be in a pretty good mood, and when everyone almost spoke, he waved his hand and said: "Everyone seems to be very optimistic about the future prospects, but I want to remind you that at present, our army has only obtained the name of garrisoning Hebei, and there is still a lot of work to be done to truly turn Hebei into a source of troops and a place to pay for our army." After the Nationalist Government withdrew from the entire territory of Hebei, there was only an empty shelf left in many local government departments, which required a large number of manpower to make up for it - in addition, everyone has noticed that at present, our army nominally controls the two places in Yicha, but in fact it is only a large part - please look at the map - "

Guo Biao pulled the curtain behind Song Zheyuan, and a brand-new map of North China was presented in front of everyone. Song Zheyuan began to explain the current situation in North China point by point.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Chadong and Yidong are now nominally demilitarized zones, but the Japanese have airplanes and can carry out air strikes, and in addition, their army is highly mechanized, and these areas have developed railways and highways, and if there is a war, I am sure that it will only take a day or so for them to cross these areas and launch a direct attack on the territory under our control - so this demilitarized zone is actually a ...... against our 29th Army."

The map is a very intuitive thing, that is, Song Zheyuan did not explain it, and those present can also see that although the 29th Army now controls a large piece of territory, but in case of a fight with the little devils, it will be a situation where the enemy is attacked on three sides - the navy in the direction of Tianjin, the army in the east of Rehe and the east of Chadong, and their retreat seems to have two roads in Shanxi and Shandong, but Shandong is near the sea, and it is the territory of Han Fuqu, and Han Fuqu is not good at his cultural and martial arts, but he looks very closely at his own territory; Crossing the border to Shanxi? The 29th Army was pulled from Shanxi, and they all know a little about the character of Yan Xishan, an old thing, and the worst thing is that once they lose their wings, where can the 29th Army go?

From this point of view, the 29th Army is currently like a lone son hanging outside the market, a bit of a lonely battle, so how to preserve its own strength in this situation and try not to fall is a debatable thing.
