Someone who was still roaring with a red face half an hour ago. At this time, he slept like a pig. As long as you have a little common sense, you will definitely not believe Li Hansoul's nonsense.

Zhang Shaoshuai and Zhang Zhizhong glanced at each other, and the former couldn't help laughing with a "poof", and said softly: "It's too young, you can be so nonsense on this occasion." ”

Zhang Zhizhong was more interested in the guy who seemed to be sleeping soundly, and responded: "Interesting guy, the Battle of Nanjing has been fought for so long, and the Xuebing Army is indeed the only one in the Chinese army that is a little bright, if they are delayed, they should be able to reduce some losses, but is it worth it?" Let the most combat-ready and promising troops be delayed, and what if they are surrounded by the Japanese army? Is it worth the loss? ”

Zhang Shaoshuai looked at the sworn elder brother on the rostrum, and said in a low voice: "Why do you say this?" You are a direct descendant of the chairman. Didn't he do this to save you and others? ”

Shaking his head, Zhang Zhizhong said with a straight face: "You can't say that, the national disaster is at the head, and if you care about these, how can the country not perish?" ”

"You're quite right. But have you thought about it, since you can think like this, then Ouyang Yun can't think like this. Don't look like he's pretending to be asleep right now, but I think he's ready to come to this meeting and make a proposal to withdraw his troops—"

Before he finished his words, Li Hansoul had already replied in place of Ouyang Yun: "...... Before coming, the commander had explained that the Cadet Army was willing to stay as a backing, and we only had one condition. ”

Hearing this, whether it was Lao Jiang or He Yingqin, they were all in high spirits and said in unison: "Come on." ”

"Our commander demands full command, power of life and death, including civil affairs and the army!" Li Hansoul said proudly. What he meant by this was already bargaining with Lao Jiang.

"The power of life and death? What does Ouyang Yun want to do? Someone immediately questioned.

Some people even said: "Could it be that if he gave the wrong order, if our subordinates don't carry it out, we can kill them?" ”

…… There are different opinions, and it is clear that everyone is very interested in the power of life and death.

Before attending this meeting, the main backbone of the mixed army of the cadet army discussed relevant issues, and finally came to the conclusion that this meeting was very likely to be a Hongmen banquet for the cadet army, and if nothing else, the cadet army would definitely be selected as a unit to be dragged behind. In the end, Ouyang Yun took great pains to persuade his subordinates, so that everyone unanimously agreed on the resolution of sacrificing the ego and preserving the ego.

That's right, even in the face of a national crisis, the KMT top leaders led by Lao Chiang still think more about their own interests. However, as soldiers of the Chinese nation, can we bear to watch our compatriots being bullied by foreign enemies? No, as long as we have blood in our hearts, we will not allow such a thing to happen. Don't forget the original intention of the establishment of our Cadet Army, brothers, others may not believe me, but I hope you will remember this, my original intention of establishing the Cadet Army is to drive out the Japanese invaders...... No matter how much sacrifice I make, as long as I can ensure the continuation of the bloodline of the Chinese nation, I will not care about my own broken life. ”

This is a bit serious, so it makes Li Hansoul and the others feel a little inexplicably heavy. And what he just said is the result of everyone's deliberations. Nanjing, as the capital, naturally has a large population, and if you want to evacuate all of them before the Japanese army captures it, then you must have a strong plan. Nominally, even if the Cadet Army is responsible for the most rear, the troops of other departments must be indispensable. From the point of view of containing the strength of the Japanese army, the existence of these troops is indispensable, after all, the current strength of the student army is only like that, however, if the control is not good, the role played by these soldiers is likely to be negative. It is with this in mind that Li Hansoul will say such tough words above.

In the face of many people's criticism, Li Hansoul said majestically: "This is our only requirement, and it is also a condition that must be met, if we do not have this power, we would rather return to Fujian and Guangdong with infamy." ”

At this point, one side has to make concessions. Lao Jiang's original idea was to leave one or two descendants to help maintain the situation in Nanjing, however, after listening to Li Hansoul's categorical words, he changed his original plan and directly ordered that in addition to the security forces of the two divisions under the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, the two divisions of the Sichuan Army and the two divisions of the Northeast Army were all assigned to the Nanjing garrison, and the garrison commander was Ouyang Yun.

The chairman of the committee has spoken, and the others naturally have no opinion, so the matter is settled. And after this matter was confirmed, as Zhang Shaoshuai expected, Ouyang Yun woke up slowly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that many people, including the chairman of the committee, were looking at him with bare eyes, and this one was a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, I actually fell asleep." ”

Lao Jiang didn't say anything, and said some things about moving the capital to Chongqing, and then announced the dismissal of the meeting, and when everyone was about to get up and leave, he called Ouyang Yun and Zhang Shaoshuai, and then told the two of them a big reason alone.

No one knows if Ouyang Yun was really asleep just now, and the only ones who knew the answer to Lu Dao were the two of them. Because just last night, before Li Hansoul went to bed, when he persuaded Ouyang Yun to rest early, he said, "It's okay, isn't there a meeting tomorrow?" Just to make up for drowsiness. ”

Not to mention Lao Jiang's reasoning, Ouyang Yun didn't listen to it, but he gave Lao Jiang a positive answer: "Chairman, don't worry, there is still one person in the army, and he will not indulge the little devils to mess around." ”

That's not what Lao Jiang was trying to express. Although the Cadet Army does not deal with the central government, in fact, he does not respect him very much, but under the current situation, he also knows that the Cadet Army is an indispensable force. Once Nanjing is broken, then the Japanese army will definitely march inland and along the coast. In the inland, because of the terrain, Lao Jiang was not too worried, but the area around Fujian and Guangdong, because it was close to Taiwan, made him have to worry about it. Because, once the area of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang falls, then foreign materials can only be imported from the coastal areas of Fujian, and if the student army loses too much in this battle, and even, Ouyang Yun suffers an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In view of this concern, Lao Jiang said to Ouyang Yun later: "Brother Ouyang, no matter what conflicts we had before, at the moment of the national crisis, I still hope to be able to work together to tide over the difficulties. As you said, Nanjing will definitely not be able to hold it, and there is no value in guarding it, once the main force has retreated, you should hurry up and retreat. Fujian and Guangdong, in the end, you still need to master. Remember, take care of your personal safety. The little devil hates you to the core! ”

For Lao Jiang's kindness, Ouyang Yun sincerely thanked him: "Chairman, thank you for your concern, I will do what I can." ”

After Lao Jiang led the people away, Zhang Shaoshuai pulled Ouyang Yun and said something again. As a comrade-in-arms who had suffered together, he sincerely hoped that Ouyang Yun could be careful, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to leave the two most elite divisions of the five divisions of the Northeast Army to aid Nanjing in the south, and in front of him, he asked those two division commanders to be the first to look forward to Ouyang Yun in the future.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Chinese army to hide its retreat from the Japanese army. After all, there are reconnaissance planes that are paying close attention to the situation in Nanjing all the time, and it can be said that the large-scale military movements of the Chinese army have all fallen into the eyes of the Japanese army without exception. What made Ouyang Yun feel strange was that in the face of such a good opportunity, the Japanese army actually stabilized their breath and did not move, and they didn't know what Lu Dao's idea was.

After Ouyang Yun was promoted to commander of the Nanjing garrison, he had ten divisions under his command, including two divisions of the Sichuan Army, two divisions of the Northeast Army, three divisions of the Cadet Army, one division of the security forces originally under the Nanjing Garrison Command, and two divisions under the direct control of the Military Commission.

When the Central Army began to break away from the battlefield and retreat inland one after another, Ouyang Yun did not rush to evacuate the people, but first reorganized the troops below.

In the army that Lao Jiang allocated to Ouyang Yun, because there was no so-called ace army, in this way, although the combat effectiveness could not be guaranteed, but there was not much arrogance, in general, there was still a certain fear of this young commander of the Nanjing garrison. Of course, this may be related to Li Hansoul's encouraging words at the meeting - since Ouyang Yun has absolute power over life and death, and learning from this person's previous performance, whether it is the Sichuan Army, the Central Army, or the Security Forces, all the division commanders and brigade commanders naturally feel that it is better to provoke him less.

After the reorganization, the Nanjing garrison was divided into two parts, one Sichuan army division, one Northeast army division, and two cadet corps to form the outermost defense line. They will be responsible for the defense of the section of the city wall. Around the Purple Mountain, a second line of defense was established consisting of a Sichuan Army Division, a Cadet Division and a Northeast Army Division. As for the two divisions of the Central Army and one division of the security forces, they played the role of reserves.

At the first meeting of officers at or above the brigade commander level held by the garrison headquarters that day, when Ouyang Yun announced the reorganization plan, as he expected, it was immediately opposed by the division and brigade commanders of the two Central Army. The reason for their opposition is very simple - Commander Ouyang looks down on people too much, why should his own troops serve as reserves, do you think we can't fight?

This is wronged Ouyang Yun, because this plan is actually between him and Li Hansoul, Wu Keren, Fang Shuhong (the two division commanders of the Northeast Army, among them, Wu Keren is also the deputy commander of the 67th Army, these two are patriotic generals, and the young marshal left these two people to Ouyang Yun, which shows that it is indeed towards the Xuebing Army), Rao Guohua (commander of the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army), Liu Yuqing (commander of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army) and others after consultation. Of course, it is a good thing for Ouyang Yun that the Central Army can have such emotions.
