February 7th, New Year's Eve, after the Battle of Nanchang, because they had to clean the battlefield, register relevant battle losses, and burn and bury Japanese corpses, the student army was not able to return to Guangzhou quickly, but stayed in Nanchang for two days. , this stay caused me to miss the opportunity to go back to Guangzhou to celebrate New Year’s Eve, so I could only spend it on the road.
New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China, and also a traditional festival in Japan. Chinese people have to celebrate the Spring Festival, and Japanese people also have to celebrate the Spring Festival. Yamamoto Isoroku planned and launched the South China Strategy at the suggestion of Koizumi Minichiro. Initially, he wanted to launch the South China Strategy before the Spring Festival. The plan to give Emperor Hirohito a New Year's gift from the Complete Annihilation Army was delayed until the end of December 1939 due to various reasons.
Both China and Japan celebrated New Year's Eve, but because of the impact of the Battle of Nanchang, the mentality of the two sides was completely different at this time. Before three o'clock in the afternoon on February 7, after the troops of the Xuebing Army marched north to the Ganzhou area, Ouyang Yun issued an order for the entire army to stop advancing and prepare for New Year's Eve: "Brothers have won a great battle, let's celebrate."
The Xuebing Army has always attached great importance to logistics. Ji Xingwen, who is in charge of logistics work, saw that the troops going north will spend New Year's Eve in Jiangxi, so he brought a large amount of flour, pigs and wine in the last batch of supplies. This batch of supplies came two days ago They were transported to the Nanchang area and were immediately assigned to various divisions by Ouyang Yun. Now, it was time to kill the pigs and make dumplings.
When the troops from the north returned, the 2nd Xuexi Division was able to hold Ouyang Yun's military flag and march in the first line due to its special performance in the Battle of Jinjiang. Behind the 2nd Xuexi Division were the 18th Xuexi Division, which suffered the heaviest losses, and Ouyang Yun's direct troops. Then came the first guerrilla division, the second division and the troops directly under Chu Tiange. The guerrilla commander had three divisions under his jurisdiction. Jiang Tiezhang's third division was the only one that had not returned to Guangzhou, and their whereabouts had not yet come back. It became a mystery two days ago. Now the only people who know about it are Ouyang Yun and Chu Tiange. Behind the guerrilla troops are the 3rd Xue Division, the 17th Xue Division, the 8th Xue Division, and finally the 9th Xue Division.
Ouyang Yun's orders were passed on one after another. Soon, each division began to build the unit's New Year's Eve serial site using tanks, armored vehicles, military trucks and even artillery vehicles as shelters. Yu Jishi's major staff officer Guo Huizhang was at this time Ouyang Yun had been transferred to his side. He, his squad of guards and Ridian were the only outsiders in this carnival. When the Xuebing Army first started setting up camp, they didn't understand what was going on. When they discovered You Xiaolian The Detachment of Women began to make a meal, and the bored ones among them gathered to watch the male soldiers of Liu Kui's guard regiment slaughtering pigs. Only then did they understand what happened.
Ridian has always been puzzled and fascinated by the Chinese people's emphasis on food and their willingness to put a lot of effort into their diet. Following Ouyang Yun all the way north, his original goal was to find out the truth about the "missile", but when he arrived So far, although he has found almost nothing on the "missile", he believes that his gains in other aspects have far exceeded the value of the "missile".
Ridian was astonished by the high level of technology and mechanization of the Xuebing Army. However, what surprised him the most was the harmony between the officers and soldiers and Ouyang Yun's willingness to invest and take orders alone. In terms of soldier rations, even the German army could only provide canned food and biscuits to the soldiers. However, on this basis, the Xuebing Army added instant noodles, dried meat, dried fish and dried vegetables. In his opinion, this is really too extravagant.
Even though it was a cold winter day, the march stopped at three o'clock. Ridian thought that there was an enemy situation nearby. Ouyang Yun was preparing to mobilize troops for fighting. When he got off the armored vehicle, he realized that the soldiers in the camp were busy. For a dinner party in the evening, he was speechless and fell into deep confusion.
Lidian felt incredible because he didn't understand it, but Guo Huizhang felt it out of envy. As a native Chinese, he fully understood the significance of New Year's Eve to the Chinese people. Only in this way could he more and more appreciate what Ouyang Yun did. The good intentions and significance of
In fact, if you work hard, even if the levels you can reach are different, there is no doubt that most of the domestic troops can do this on this day, but how many actually do this? Well, this was what made him really admire Ouyang Yun. On the surface, it was just a New Year's Eve dinner, but the positive significance it could produce and the impact it had on the development of the army's culture could be as great as Too deep and long,
The march stopped at three o'clock, and it took more than three hours to kill pigs and bake dumplings. At about half past six, as the political directors of each division issued the order to "start dinner" in turn, Bai Liusu's hoarse singing began to resound through the entire camp. , then, Ouyang Yun, Chu Tiange, Bai Liusu and others also began to tidy up their military uniforms and walked to the guard post outside the dinner camp, replacing the frontline officers and soldiers on duty so that they could be the first to eat hot food. Steaming dumplings,
This is another major feature of the Xuebing Army. Both Li De'an and Guo Huizhang thought it was too suspected of being a show at first. The two of them came together at some point and they winked at each other. , the meaning expressed between his eyebrows and eyes was clear: This Ouyang Yun, it is not easy to be able to show off to this extent. The two people paid special attention to the replaced soldiers on duty, trying to find relevant evidence from their faces. However, What made them slightly disappointed was that the replaced cadets on duty showed no coyness and showed uneasiness, as if they had long been accustomed to it. They looked at each other again, and then looked at those standing in the cold wind. The upright Cadet Army officer's eyes were filled with not only reverence but also fear.
This is obviously another tradition of the cadet army, and as they know a lot about military affairs, they know the meaning behind this tradition very well. Officers and soldiers are integrated, and officers can command their subordinates to the point where they can use their hands as well as their fingers. ,This is what every army is pursuing, however, how many ,are actually achieved,
He was so surprised that Ridian couldn't help but think maliciously: If the Japanese came for a sneak attack at this time, it would be great fun. However, when he discovered that in Ouyang Yun's command car, Jiang Huangyong was still sticking to his post and maintaining peace at all times. When he contacted Lang Ya who was patrolling outside, he knew that even if the Japanese seized this opportunity, the chance of a successful sneak attack would be close to zero. Thinking of this, he looked at the few people standing two hundred meters away. Ouyang Yun among the guards has a wonderful expression,
