At the same time that Ouyang Yun was holding a mourning meeting for the fallen soldiers of the Battle of Madang in Guangzhou, Jiang Dahe, commander of the Taiwan Corps of the Cadet Army, was also presiding over a small mourning meeting in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. In a sniper battle fought in Zhushan in Chiayi County not long ago, although the Taiwan Corps finally stopped the Japanese army's march into Tainan, it also paid huge sacrifices for it. The two regiments or so of the cadets fell in Kezikeng in Zhushan Town, which also became the largest single casualty since the establishment of the Taiwan Corps.

In addition to the local squires and representatives of the people, those who attended the mourning meeting were officers at or above the brigade commander level of the garrisons in various parts of the Taiwan Corps. The mourning service began at nine a.m. and ended at half past ten. After the end, after seeing off the local squires and people's representatives, Jiang Dahe convened a meeting of all officers above the brigade commander level.

Since the development of the Taiwan Corps, there have been five divisions below, of which, except for the newly formed 105th Division, which has only two and a half regiments, the other four divisions are all four regiments of the B division. In addition, there are still two regiment-sized corps directly subordinate guard units and about three regimental artillery units. Xu was not very good because he had just presided over the mourning meeting, and Jiang Chuanjun, chief of staff of the Corps, who presided over the meeting, also had a tired look on his face.

Jiang Chuanjun was the first to speak, and he said: "Recently, the Japanese have frequently increased their troops, and it can be seen that they are attaching more and more importance to Taiwan and to us. Next, what awaits us will definitely be a tough battle, a tragic battle. Earlier, the way we dealt with the Japanese can no longer be used - this time in the first battle of Kezikeng, the reason why our army suffered so many casualties was because we did not understand the situation, and still used the old combat methods to fight the devil to the death, and as a result, once the air force failed to appear as scheduled, we were numb. In the past few days, our commander and I have been thinking about this issue, believing that from now on, our Taiwan Corps will mainly attack and harass guerrilla warfare, and we must avoid a showdown with the Japanese army. In the border areas between Fujian and Zhejiang, in the areas along Zhejiang, guerrilla base areas of our student army have been successfully set up, and in Shaanxi and other places, Division Commander Guo Da and Division Commander Huang Haifu have adopted guerrilla tactics and fought with great success. These are all ready-made successful experiences that we can learn from. After discussing with me, the commander decided to divide the area under our current control into five guerrilla zones according to the divisional level, of which the 1st Division's area of activity is in Nantou and Hualien, the 2nd Division is in Taichung and Changhua, the 3rd Division is in Pingtung and Taitung, and the 4th Division is Chiayi, and the Headquarters and the 5th Division will carry out activities in Kaohsiung......"

After Jiang Chuanjun finished speaking, Jiang Dahe continued: "In the past, we were the main force in the war against Japan, but now, we want to change this concept, although we are still the main force in the war against Japan, but it will be the comrades of the Spark Brigade who are really active in the front line to fight the devils. We are fighting against Japan on many battlefields, so it is impossible for the Air Force to take care of us all the time, and then it is time for us to stand firm and perform on our own strength. If the Spark Brigade is the banner of the Corps, then we are the guns of the Corps, and the Spark Brigade is rooted in the grassroots and has a good mass base, and only with the help of the local masses can we, the guns, be able to strike at the devils out of nowhere. I tell you, as long as the guerrilla tactics in the "Manual" are mastered, it will be difficult for the little devils to catch us in a duel from now on...... Finally, I would like to tell you the good news that the Commander-in-Chief will come to Taiwan later this year to confer honors on those who have made meritorious service in Taiwan in recognition of our achievements. Well, from now on, everyone do a good job! Maybe you'll be one of the awardees! ”

Since the development of the Taiwan Corps, two of its divisions have been completely localized, and in the other three divisions, local officers and men account for more than half. The reason why Taiwanese, especially those in southern Taiwanese, are so enthusiastic to participate in the Cadet Army is because of Ouyang Yun's appeal.

The rise of the Xuebing Army is not so much the success of a military group as the success of Ouyang Yun, a traverser. With the increasing influence of the Taiwan Corps in Taiwan, under the propaganda of the Spark Brigade and the Fox Pupil agents, Xuebingjun and Ouyang Yun have gradually become well-known to the Taiwanese.

Ji Xingwen changed from a famous general of the Northwest Army to a person in charge of the political propaganda work of the Cadet Army, and he did not waste his time after arriving in Guangzhou. As the system of cadet corps has matured, the functions of various departments and units have been increasingly improved. Take the General Political Office as an example, the initial reason why Ouyang Yun set up this department was just to establish a psychological counseling institution for soldiers, and with Ji Xingwen's efforts, now, the General Political Office is not only engaged in this kind of work. With Ji Xingwen as the center, a large group of intellectuals who were enthusiastic about ideological research not only carried out research work on psychological counseling for soldiers, but also began to meddle in other matters closely related to army building, including the "plan for the cultivation of leaders."

In the years of war, people always expect the appearance of heroes. Taiwan has been under Japanese colonial rule for more than 40 years, and the desire for heroes in the hearts of the Taiwanese people has become even stronger, and they are looking forward to the appearance of a hero like Zheng Chenggong to save the Taiwan people from fire and water. A group of students from the General Political Department of the Cadet Army grasped this psychological characteristic of the Taiwanese and began to launch a propaganda offensive in Taiwan, and as a result, Ouyang Yun's heroic image was established. It coincided with the establishment of the Taiwan Corps of the Cadet Army, and seeing that the Imperial Japanese Army, which did not know how arrogant it was, was repeatedly deflated under the Cadet Army, the image of Ouyang Yun and the Cadet Army also rose and began to be recognized by the vast majority of Taiwanese.

Compared with the current Taiwanese cadets in the Taiwan Corps, Ouyang Yun's image has been completely "heroized." In this way, when Jiang Dahe said that he would personally come to Taiwan to confer medals on meritorious soldiers, the excitement of the Taiwanese officers can be imagined.

"Is this true? That's great! It was Xie Changan who said this.

Xie Chang'an is a fisherman, since joining the Taiwan Corps, this official has been promoted as if he was riding a rocket, first the commander of the fourth regiment of the 101st Division, and now he is the commander of the 105th Division. And his younger brother Xie Luoyang has now become a battalion commander under his command.

"It's been a good time!" Another Taiwanese brigade commander named Luo Rongzhang said, a middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixteen years old, when he said this, a red heart flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Dahe and Jiang Chuanjun glanced at each other, and they were very satisfied with the reaction of their subordinates. The former made a concluding speech and said: "Next, the Japanese army will definitely have a big operation, and what we need to do is to preserve our strength and protect the base area before the commander-in-chief comes." Brothers, in the past, we relied too heavily on the Air Force, and now, please get rid of this dependence, and you must remember that whether Taiwan can be recovered in the end depends on us! Do you have faith? ”

"Yes!"
