Chapter Twenty-Six: The New Major

The repeated explosions and gunshots frightened the residents living in the surrounding area. Many families immediately closed the door and hid in the back room, for fear of ruining the fish in the pond. The more daring ones looked through the crack in the door, nervously and excitedly inspecting the situation, wanting to see who dared to spread wilderness on the land of the 51st Army. At night, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and since the first explosion sounded, everyone fled, and soon disappeared.

Qiu Jian entered the city from the camp on horseback, and when he heard the sound of gunfire coming from near Caijia Garden, he thought that the Japanese army's exercise had advanced to the military headquarters of the 51st Army, and he couldn't help but feel humiliated, thinking that the Japanese devils on dog days were really too deceitful! Damn, is there no one to bully our 51st Army? I made up my mind that no matter what punishment I was given, I would give the little devil a little bit of a good look - put aside the guards and rushed to Garden East Avenue in the lead. He ran to the street in a rage, and with the raging fire, he happened to see Ouyang Yun cut off Ohno Zheng's head with a knife.

When the explosion sounded, a guard company of the 51st Army in Cai's garden immediately rushed out and blocked all exits in the garden. At first, they also thought that the Japanese were coming to provoke them, and for the safety of the military headquarters, they behaved very cautiously, until the gunfire stopped, and then they sent a squad of guards out to investigate the situation, but they saw Regiment Commander Qiu and a young man in ragged clothes standing together, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Qiu Jian picked up a pistol, looked at the tragic situation at the scene, and quickly judged their identities from the clothes and weapons of the deceased, and asked, "Japanese?" ”

Ouyang Yun nodded, and then looked at him coldly - Qiu Jian came too coincidentally, due to the dispute with Chen Shaohua at noon, Ouyang Yun couldn't believe any of them now-who knew if they revealed his whereabouts to the Japanese?

His unfriendly eyes fell on Qiu Jian's eyes, the latter was stunned, and then his eyes were round, everyone is a smart person, Qiu Jian naturally understood the meaning of this look, he was very angry, and shouted: "Do you suspect that I have something to do with these Japanese?" ”

Ouyang Yun replied honestly: "I don't know what to do." ”

Qiu Jian smiled and said, "You think too highly of yourself, and you underestimate me too much!" ”

A squad of guards came over and saw the scene of the confrontation between the two, and naturally surrounded Ouyang Yun in a fan shape. The person who knew Qiu Jian asked, "Head Qiu, what happened?" ”

Qiu Jian said: "It's nothing, my brother was attacked by the Japanese." He turned to Ouyang Yun and said, "It seems that the Japanese already know your identity, Cai's Garden can't enter, get on my horse and leave quickly." With that, he jumped off his horse and handed him the reins.

Ouyang Yun didn't take the reins, thinking that he might have misunderstood him, and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, I don't know how to ride a horse." ”

"Oh?!" Qiu Jian laughed, and said with feeling: "I thought you could do anything, ha, haluha." ”

Ouyang Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked at the policeman who appeared at the corner of the street, and said, "It seems that I have to go, and Tiange doesn't know if there is anything wrong with Lu Dao." After speaking, he glanced at Qiu Jian, turned into a nearby alley, and soon disappeared.

Hearing him mention Chu Tiange, Qiu Jian screamed, got on the horse and ran to the Cai family's garden, so the previous scene happened.

The Japanese army's assassination attempt against Ouyang Yun near Caijia Garden ended in a fiasco, and only one wounded Sakurajima Shi escaped after the four best soldiers sent out, which made the officers of the Japanese North China Hoarding Garrison Command who knew about the incident very angry and felt deep panic. Any one of these four people is placed in the army, and they are all good at being able to use one as ten, and now they are premeditated to deal with a china kid at the same time, and it is such an ending, this "anti-Japanese double hero" is really too difficult.

Ouyang Yun sneaked back to the Song Mansion overnight, and when Song Zheyuan and Guo Biao learned about it, they all sweated for him, and at the same time, they invisibly had more confidence in him. Since Ouyang Yun is such a super strong existence, if he really gives him a student corps, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the growth of the 29th Army. Thinking about it this way, Song Zheyuan was very enthusiastic about the matter of incorporating the training class, and he personally talked to General Guan Linzheng on the phone the next morning, and the two of them exchanged small news about each other, and Guan Linzheng, who had already received some inside information about the Sino-Japanese negotiations, knew that the dissolution of the training class was already an ironclad matter, and he also wanted to find a good place for the trainees, so he readily agreed to his request.

The two commanders finalized the matter on the phone, and the rest of the matter was handed over to his subordinates.

Because Chu Tiange has already blown the wind among the trainees, and the reputation of the 29th Army is not bad, the trainees are not too resistant, except for Lu Dahong and Liang Dawei in the instructor group who have some opinions, and the handover is very smooth.

On the morning of the same day, under Song Zheyuan's letter of appointment, Ouyang Yun became the acting head of the 29th Army Corps established by the heart of the army, with the rank of major. After having lunch in the Song Mansion, he changed into the uniform of the major of the 29th Army, and then, under Guo Biao's repeated instructions, he single-handedly went to the former 25th Division training class and today's 29th Army Cadet Corps to take up his post.

Song Zheyuan's intention was to arrange a few veteran officers under Ouyang Yun so that he could suppress and discipline those apprentices. Ouyang Yun considered that the safety of the factory in the future can only rely on the Xuetuan, so the pure blood of the Xuetuan must be guaranteed, although Song is open-minded, in the final analysis, he is still a warlord, and when the factory is set up, as soon as the benefits appear, if he sees the money, if he has no strength in his hands that he can rely on, it will be difficult to do, so he declined his kindness.

Song Zheyuan did have a plan to press a nail in the student corps, but he listened to Jiang Shuren's suggestion, thinking about the beginning of the cooperation, it was necessary to give the other party considerable trust to get a good impression, and the student corps was a regiment in the final analysis, and now it is only a little more than 200 people, thinking that they can't afford to turn up much Lang, so they didn't delve into this issue.

Ouyang Yun, who was dressed in a school officer's uniform, had just appeared in front of the cadets with a letter of appointment and 5,000 pieces of ocean, originally thinking of showing off his eloquence. There are three fires for new officials to take office, and new officials always have to say something! It's a pity that he has been preparing a speech all morning, but he has no chance to express it.

The reason for this has to be blamed on himself, he said something to Qiu Jian last night, which was relayed to Chu Kuoji by Qiu Jian's mouth, which scared Adjutant Chu - Chu Tiange is the only male in the Chu family's generation, if something happens to him, let alone how the eldest brother will treat him, the old lady will not be able to pass that level in the first place. So, with the mentality of believing that he would rather believe that he has something or not, he led two loyal subordinates of his sworn friends and several people to raid the training class overnight, and kidnapped Chu Tiange in the name of arrest.

The soldiers didn't know the truth, they all thought that the 51st Army would hand over Chu Tiange to the Japanese, but now that Ouyang Yun is here, since they know the relationship between him and Chu Tiange, they naturally have to tell him about it as soon as possible, and then let him find a way to save people - maybe in their opinion, since the "Anti-Japanese Heroes" can create a "tragedy" for the Japanese, it should not be a problem to save someone in the barracks, which makes Ouyang Yun cry and laugh. He couldn't say some things clearly, so he had to say that he had already gotten the news, and Chu Tiange was safe now, so he dealt with everyone.

Originally, he was worried that the cadets would be resistant to the sudden change of court, so he took great pains to prepare a series of rhetoric. Now that Chu Tiange has happened, the attention of the cadets seems to have completely shifted to this aspect - he has been in the training class for nearly an hour, and no one has even raised anything about the cadet corps. He wanted to save his worries, so he didn't say anything, and asked the squad leader Chen Shichang to gather all the students on the school ground, first read out the letter of appointment, and then began to roll call according to the roster.

There were a total of 215 people in the training class, Chu Tiange was "arrested", Chao Hongle, Pang Wenju, Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Zejun asked for leave to go out, and there were 210 people. After the roll call, Ouyang Yun and several squad cadres held an on-site meeting, and directly renamed the training class as the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 29th Military Cadet Corps, with five platoons, each platoon with three squads, 12 people per squad, and more than 30 people came out, set up a reconnaissance platoon, and there were also three squads below. Subsequently, as the acting regiment commander, he issued the first letter of appointment: Chen Shichang, the former squad leader of the training class, was appointed as the acting company commander of the first company; Deputy squad leader Huang Tao and political commissar Chang Jinghua acting deputy company commander; Chu Tiange is the acting platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon; Other substitute shifts and platoon commanders are also served by former squad cadres. After announcing the appointment, he explained to the students that the reason why a code should be added in front of the officer's title is because the cadet corps is still in the period of formation, and the current appointment of officers is only an expedient measure. In the future, the appointment and promotion of officers and men of the cadet corps will be based on their personal ability and military merits, and there will be detailed assessment methods; no matter their background or cultural level, as long as they can really fight wars and lead the ranks well, everyone in the cadet corps will have the opportunity to become a commander!

These words are very encouraging, to put it bluntly, Ouyang Yun clearly put a ladder for promotion and fortune in front of all living beings, which naturally attracted applause from the students.

Ouyang Yun struck while the iron was hot, and then began to work on the staffing of the shift. Among them, the reconnaissance platoon was given priority, and because Chu Tiange was not there, as a representative, after watching the drill of the cadets, he picked out 25 people with good physical strength and seemed quite clever from among them, and determined them to be reconnaissance platoon personnel. Then, let the class leaders select the members of the class by themselves, one person at a time, and proceed in turn to ensure that the strength of each class is not large.

After the staffing was completed, the officers at all levels were in place, Chen Shichang gathered the team as the commander and ordered everyone to take a break, and then asked Ouyang Yun, the "regimental seat", to give a lecture.

Ouyang Yun nodded, walked to the front of the team, stood up with a "snap", and then saluted the standard military salute of the People's Liberation Army. His expression was solemn, his eyes deliberately stared at the boss, he looked radiant and energetic, which invisibly gave the students confidence and hope, and everyone couldn't help but follow his example, stand upright, and straighten his chest.

Ouyang Yun was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and said in a deep voice: "Take a break!" After lifting his mind, his eyes swept over the faces of the students in the front row one by one, and began his inaugural speech: "Comrades-in-arms, it is a great honor to witness the establishment of the 29th Army Cadet Corps with you. Starting today, you, me, everyone, and all of us members of the Cadet Corps will fight together to defend the dignity of the nation and the territorial integrity of the country, and share weal and woe. Everyone must know about the current domestic and international situation - the three northeastern provinces have long been lost, the Japanese are still sharpening their knives and staring at North China, and our motherland has been weak for too long after years of civil war, what about our government? Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it - everyone knows the history of the 29th Army, no matter how its predecessor, the Northwest Army, behaved in the civil war, but at the beginning of the establishment of the 29th Army, Commander Song said that there will be no more civil wars, and our guns must be unified with the outside world." Everyone also saw that in the Battle of the Great Wall, at Xifengkou, our heroic 29th Army left a profound lesson for the Japanese devils with its broadsword! With such commanders and seniors, although we are a newly established army, I think that as long as everyone always remembers that I am a Chinese and we will never allow an inch of our rivers and mountains to be lost in our own hands, then we will eventually drive out the evil Japanese invaders......

In the end, Ouyang Yun racked his brains to prepare a whole morning's rhetoric and showed it as he wished, although a lot of it was omitted in the middle, but it was still good in terms of effect - it not only ignited the passion of the cadets, but also indirectly praised Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army. Later, this speech reached the ears of Song Zheyuan and the officers of the 29th Army, earning him a lot of impression points, and also laying a good foundation for the relationship between the student corps and friendly troops. From this point of view alone, the brain cells he sacrificed in the morning were well deserved.
