The Xuebing Army garrisoned on Hainan Island was Shan Renxiong's Xuefifu Army. When Ouyang Yun's call came to the Xuefifu Army Headquarters, Shan Renxiong was instructing the training of the 38th Brigade and learning from the brigade commander of the 38th Brigade. It was Liu Zheliang at one time. However, when the army moved south, Shang Lang approached Ouyang Yun to intercede, hoping to keep his prospective son-in-law in Guangzhou. At that time, there was a vacancy for the brigade commander of the 7th Xuexiang Brigade, so Ouyang Yun transferred Liu Zheliangping to Xuexue. The current commander of the 7th Brigade and the 38th Brigade is Zhang Dali, a squadron leader who Shan Renxiong recruited from Langya. When he was still in Renqiu, Shan Renxiong once competed with Zhang Dali as a company commander of the Second Gendarmerie Regiment. After dropping bombs, the two became more acquainted than ever before, and gradually became inseparable. Later, Shan Renxiong gradually emerged and began a rocket-like journey of promotion, while Zhang Dali was still serving as a soldier in Langya, and Shan Renxiong became a student in the Fifth Army. When he was the army commander, he was just a major squadron leader. Zhang Dali served as a brigade commander with the rank of major general, which once caused criticism in the army. However, because of Ouyang Yun's support, Shan Renxiong was determined again. Important person, he finally came to Hainan,
When the communication staff officer of the 38th Brigade hurriedly ran into the playground to find someone, Shan Renxiong and Zhang Dali were lying on the sand, and they were launching an offensive and defensive battle around a small island where the sand was piled up.
"Military seat, your phone number is from the Commander-in-Chief."
"No answer, what, the commander-in-chief is calling." Shan Renxiong said, dropped the branch in his hand, got up, and rushed towards the headquarters of the 38th Academy Brigade.
Zhang Dali followed and stood up. He said to his guard Zhang Yun: "Don't let others destroy it." Then he chased Shanrenxiong away.
"Commander-in-Chief, I am a solo hero. I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Ouyang Yun was really getting a little impatient with waiting. The military situation was like a raging fire. In his opinion, every minute and every second from now on was precious. He asked bluntly: "Renxiong, the shoreline forts are being built well." how's it going."
Shan Renxiong was stunned for a moment, and then his brows were filled with joy: "Commander-in-Chief, is it true? We have a war to fight in Hainan." His tone was urgent, as if he couldn't wait.
Ouyang Yun over there couldn't help but laugh. He laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, you want to fight so much. If you fight, people will die and it will be wasted..."
"Hehe." The single hero smiled "hehe" and saw Zhang Dali walking in shortly after, and winked at him.
"Military seat, there is a battle." Zhang Dali heard his words and couldn't help rubbing his hands, looking like he couldn't help but feel happy.
Compared to Ouyang Yun, Shan Renxiong and Zhang Dali are more like professional soldiers. Soldiers are born for war. They followed the example of the Fifth Army and came to Hainan. Based on the situation at that time, Shan Renxiong thought that he would be insulated from war from now on. So for a time, I felt like I was being relegated to the cold palace. A man kept getting angry with Ouyang Yun over this matter. Ouyang Yun told him that sooner or later, Hainan would have a battle to fight, and it would be a fierce and big battle. He only thought that there would be a big battle. The commander is trying to comfort himself. It is not surprising that he behaves like this now.
"Now tell me the progress of the shoreline batteries."
"It's done."
"real,."
Because the Hainan coastline fort project is so huge, the General Staff of the Xuebing Army estimates that it will take at least two years to complete the general construction. If we really want to achieve the ideal impregnable effect, it will take at least three years. The coastline The construction of the fort began before the Fifth Army entered Hainan. It has only been completed in about a year and a half. Ouyang Yun had to express doubts.
"Commander-in-Chief, how could I be joking about this kind of thing? Don't worry, if the little devils really dare to come here, I guarantee that they will never come back." Danren Xiong said with confidence, which dispelled Ouyang Yun's heart. doubt,
He immediately said: "Renxiong, listen to me, the destination of the Japanese fleet this time has been determined, which is Hainan. From now on, the entire Hainan area will be mobilized. In addition, all military industrial enterprises must immediately enter a wartime state. Well, I will tell Lao Chen personally about this later."
Shan Renxiong and Zhang Dali were both really looking forward to fighting. Shan Renxiong immediately licked his lips and said, "Commander-in-Chief, the little devil actually dares to attack us in Hainan. That's great."
"Damn it, you want to fight so much." Ouyang Yun was so angry at his attitude that he laughed and cursed again,
Shan Renxiong said seriously: "I never think about it, Commander-in-Chief, as you said, soldiers are born for war, and only war can reflect the true value of soldiers."
"Okay, execute the order, be vigilant, and be sure to keep in touch with Commander Chen."
"yes."
Chen Ce was not only the commander of the Navy, but also the director of the Hainan Special Economic Zone. When he received the call from Ouyang Yun, he was very calm and said: "This day has finally come."
Unlike Shan Renxiong, a pure "warrior", Chen Ce has a mature political mind. As early as the First Great Wall Anti-Japanese War started, he predicted that the Japanese would attack Hainan sooner or later. Hainan's strategic location is too important. If Japan, which has the strongest navy in Asia, wants to take advantage of this advantage, it will definitely covet Hainan. So when he received Ouyang Yun's first telegram, he started pre-war mobilization within the Hainan fleet just like before. ,
"The Japanese fleet has dispatched again. If their target is not Taiwan, it will be Hainan. Therefore, we must make war preparations to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese."
"Commander, could it be Southeast Asia?" Someone in Chen Ce's staff team raised this point.
"Absolutely impossible." Chen Ce flatly denied, "Southeast Asia is the traditional sphere of influence of Britain and the United States. The Japanese are still dependent on American resources. How can they be at odds with the United States? Even if the Japanese really want to invade Southeast Asia one day, they will After capturing Hainan, don't you think that Japan is too far away from Southeast Asia? The Japanese are not fools. If they really want to invade Southeast Asia, they will definitely need an advance base."
Within the General Staff of the Xuebing Army, some staff members also raised this point of view, and Ouyang Yun's answer was almost the same as Chen Ce's.
Precisely because they maintained surprisingly consistent views on this matter, the communication between Ouyang Yun and Chen Ce was much more tacit. Ouyang Yun said: "Commander Chen, the submarine force is our trump card. Before an absolute advantage is formed, I hope I can keep this secret."
"Commander-in-Chief, I understand. Please rest assured that this time the focus of our army's defense will be on the coast. If the Japanese want to occupy Hainan, they will definitely send out the Marine Corps. As long as they land and fight, our army's strength advantage will be reflected. , Commander-in-Chief, the protagonist of this defensive battle will be the Fifth Army, and I will not overstep my authority."
It is convenient to communicate with smart people. This is what Ouyang Yun is most worried about, so he first called Shan Renxiong. After hearing what Chen Ce said, he felt much more relaxed and said: "Commander Chen, you said so I am relieved. There is one more thing. The ongoing development in Hainan must be kept secret. I hope you can communicate more with the local minority leaders to ensure that there is no loophole for Japanese spies to take advantage of."
"Yes, I will definitely do it."
"That's hard work. I've got some things on my hands recently that I can't get away from. When I'm done, I'll go to Hainan in person. See you then."
