What Jiang Huangyong said before leaving was heartbreaking and shocking. It was undoubtedly a wake-up call for Wu Keren. He stood there in a daze, with his face turning blue and white, and his expression ferocious, which fell into the eyes of his men who gathered around him. , so no one dared to disturb him, for fear of getting into trouble.
To this day, if he could go back and do it all over again, Marshal Zhang would definitely not choose to withdraw from the three northeastern provinces. As for Wu Keren and other front-line soldiers, they would definitely choose to ignore their fate and choose a path that may seem like they will not return but in fact they can leave their name. During the heroic journey of Qingshi, during the period of living in Larong, because there were no political affairs or military disturbances, and because they had to face the whereabouts of the troops, both Marshal Zhang and Wu Keren were able to calm down and reflect on the past, which is worth mentioning in Northeast China. The army was in a dilemma, and there was a little brother like Xuebingjun who was making great progress under the same situation. The Northeastern soldiers were tortured both physically and mentally. They had to put down their big brother attitude and pinch their noses to be pragmatic and seek change.
Before Wu Keren's mission, the Northeast Army's senior military officers above the division commander level held no less than ten small meetings. After some fierce arguments, they finally came to a unified opinion: to untie the bell, one must tie the bell. If the Northeast Army wants to break out of the In the current predicament, we can only turn to the Xuebing Army, realizing that it is impossible for the Xuebing Army to provide help without asking for anything as it did at the beginning, so a low profile and certain concessions and even sacrifices are necessary. As for the final result, the big Most people hope to establish a new base in Guangxi. If that doesn't work, then Zhejiang is the best. Zhejiang is at the forefront of the anti-Japanese war. According to Marshal Zhang and his team's analysis, if the Northeast Army moves in, it will be equivalent to helping the Xue Bing Army. Why not?
Wu Keren originally thought that Guangxi was hard to come by and Zhejiang was easy to come by. However, after Jiang Huangyong made a fuss, he realized that Ouyang Yun had no intention of letting them return to China. With a gloomy expression on his face, he looked at the line drawn by Jiang Huangyong's finger. While cruising on the boat, I thought over and over in my mind what Jiang Huangyong had said. Do we really want to live in this southwest border forever? What was Ouyang Yun's idea?
"Commander Wu, our Commander-in-Chief has an appointment with you." Suddenly, a shout came from afar,
Wu Keren looked up and recognized the confidential secretary next to Ouyang Yun who was calling. He felt slightly relieved and asked his adjutant to put the map away and said, "Let's go."
His subordinates were originally panic-stricken and didn't know what kind of treatment they would encounter. At this time, they were calm and surrounded him and walked towards Xinbao.
After Jiang Huangyong left Wu Keren angrily, he remembered that he had not said anything important yet. If he went back, he would not let go of this face, and he was afraid of losing the face of Xuebingjun. When he replied to Ouyang Yun, He said in a ashamed tone: "Principal, I'm sorry, I messed up the thing you entrusted me with."
"Um."
Jiang Huangyong explained the whole story in detail. After hearing this, Ouyang Yun's expression softened and he said, "It doesn't matter. Leave the rest to me. Just keep pretending to be a bad person."
Wu Keren arrived quickly because he had a car to travel with. In the car, he thought a lot about what appeared in front of Ouyang Yun, and he already had concerns in his mind.
In a temporarily arranged reception room, Ouyang Yun and Wu Keren saluted each other. After shaking hands and greetings, the former asked as if he didn't know what to do: "Commander Wu, after walking around for a while, what do you think?"
"I'm shocked. I didn't expect your army to have such a grand layout in Karachi. As a large maritime country, without a large-scale navy, it would be equivalent to blocking most of the country. Commander-in-Chief, thank you for your hard work."
"Haha, Commander Wu is overrated. As a soldier, it is our bounden duty to protect our country. As long as we can expel the Japanese invaders and regain the mountains and rivers as soon as possible, the blood can be shed and the head can be cut off. It's nothing to work hard, Commander Wu. , Please sit down, how is the young marshal's health? It's been a long time since I saw him. When we flew from Nanjing to Guangzhou together, we made an appointment to work together to end this evil war as soon as possible. Well..." Ouyang Yun first rambled on about a lot of past events, and finally changed the subject: "The Japanese army is still determined to open up the western battlefield. There are still many tough battles to be fought between our armies, but I don't know how well your army can do it. Are you ready?"
After the Northeastern Army settled in Larong, Ouyang Yun once sent a message to Marshal Zhang, asking him to send troops, but Marshal Zhang refused on the grounds that he was not ready for war. He asked this question now, but it was also a link between the past and the future.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Because of Jiang Huangyong's rebuke not long ago, Wu Keren felt that there was a deep irony in this sentence. He blushed and said: "Preparation, we have been doing preparation work. But, there is no stable logistical supply. Now, even the troops have a problem with eating. We, we are really in trouble." After finishing this sentence with a slight stutter, his mind flashed with the soldiers' lack of food. Miserable Xiang, his eyes wet with tears, gritted his teeth and felt fierce in his heart. He suddenly stood up and bowed: "Commander-in-Chief, please give us a hand for the sake of being the descendants of Yan and Huang, please."
Ouyang Yun was startled, and quickly stood up and reached out to help him, saying: "Commander Wu, what are you doing? Do you want to defeat me?"
Wu Keren straightened up and said: "Commander-in-Chief, I don't want to defeat you, but our Northeast Army is at the end of its rope. If you don't help us, then our Northeast Army may exist in name only."
This was a bit serious. Ouyang Yun did not dare to take it lightly. He quickly helped him sit down and said, "Is it that serious? Sit down first and speak slowly. No matter what, we all belong to the Chinese Expeditionary Force system, right? We learn from Bingjun will not sit idly by."
Wu Keren sat down and slowly explained the current situation of the Northeast Army.
Ouyang Yunyou asked Chu Tiange to pay attention to the Northeast Army, but because he did not place a spy, he only knew a general situation. After listening to what Wu Keren said, he made an analysis based on the intelligence he had and came to the conclusion that what Wu Keren said Although there are exaggerated elements, the water content is not too much.
The Northeastern Army will play a huge role in the post-war pattern envisioned by Ouyang Yun. The task he had entrusted to Jiang Huangyong was to awaken Wu Keren and let him know where the Northeastern Army's way out was. Unfortunately, Jiang Huangyong The performance of righteous indignation went too far, and the subplot turned into the main plot, which delayed the real business.
Looking at Wu Keren apologetically, Ouyang Yun said sincerely: "It's my fault. During this period, I was busy with the construction of the Pacific Fleet and distracted from the Philippine campaign. I ignored your army. Commander Wu, you and I both They are soldiers. Let’s break it down. What is the position of the Young Marshal for your army? You have also seen the situation in Southeast Asia now. Although the Japanese army still has the upper hand, it has already shown a decline. Take the Japanese army during this period. As far as the offensive is concerned, except for the Philippines, when it used troops against Australia, Myanmar, and Bangladesh, its main troops were Southeast Asian indigenous people. This shows that the Japanese's local elite troops have been exhausted. In time, it is not difficult to predict that with the Japanese army's The standing army is exhausted, and their end is near."
