All the factions showed unprecedented enthusiasm. Ouyang Yun couldn't help but feel excited. He even couldn't help but propose that the over-staffed troops should be provided with weapons and equipment by their student army. At this moment, he sensed the gaze of Shao Shuai Zhang and faced Shao Shuai Zhang. Taking a look at it, he felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that this would definitely arouse the vigilance of various factions, and when it came to infiltration and underground work, GCD was the real expert. If too many GCD people sneaked in, don't end up doing it for others. Wedding dress, then it would be better to steal the chicken than lose the rice. But at this time, Chen Geng further clarified Chen Cheng's doubts, saying that the troops they brought out were all "guerrilla troops", and the establishment of the United Front of the Anti-Japanese War also had a great impact on the development of the GCD Army. There is a restriction, because the establishment is controlled by the central government, so although in terms of combat effectiveness alone, the troops they later developed are not much weaker than the existing troops, they can only be labeled as local guerrilla armed forces because they have no establishment. ,
Chen Geng didn't want to cause trouble, so he took great pains to explain. To his surprise, this became Ouyang Yun's excuse for refusing them to join the coalition. "I must state again that although the Americans will not participate in the formation of the coalition, , but they will send a military advisory group to accompany the army. Considering the technical characteristics of mechanized equipment, the Americans' request is that the coalition army must be composed of regular troops. Therefore, General Chen, I appreciate your kindness. In order to avoid the United States If people use this to make a fuss, I don’t dare to have those guerrilla troops of yours.”
Chen Geng was startled at first, and then roared angrily: "Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, this is unfair. This is discrimination against our guerrilla fighters. Our guerrilla troops are equally capable of fighting Japanese invaders, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of some domestic regular armies."
"General Chen, please stop kidding yourself. Your party's so-called guerrilla armed forces are, in the final analysis, peasant armed forces. These people don't know a few characters. How do you ask them to learn to drive a car, a cannon or even a tank? Commander-in-Chief Ouyang , I support your decision. The coalition army must be composed of regular troops. If everyone joins, what if the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed and the Americans will seize the pain." Yan Laoxi, a representative of the Jinsui Army Negotiation Group, is a major general. Vibrant and eloquent,
"Can't farmers serve as soldiers? Yan Xihua, who asked for help from our peasant armed forces in the middle of last year? TNND, your scar has healed and you have forgotten the pain. This is how you repay your f**king kindness." Chen Geng yelled,
Li Kenong looked at each other coldly, looking at Ouyang Yun and others from time to time. He thought to himself: Didn't he say that Ouyang Yun is friendly to our party? Now it seems that is not the case at all. What is the problem?
In that time and space, Chen Geng was one of Ouyang Yun's idols. He couldn't help but feel funny and angry that his idol had such a temper. When he saw Yan Xihua standing up and about to fight back, he hurriedly waved his hand and said to Chen Geng: "General Chen , I have absolutely no intention of discriminating against the guerrillas, but the Americans insist that there is nothing we can do. Ha, I originally thought you would be very happy. I originally thought that no matter whether we took the initiative or were forced to join the army, the bad guys would definitely be killed. Okay, everyone, thank you for your trust in our student army. Now we will discuss the share each army deserves, and then decide the number of troops sent by each department based on this share."
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was more like a quarrel. Everything was about personal interests. Even Zhang Shaoshuai, Bai Chongxi and Fu Zuoyi, who had always behaved very detachedly, were fully involved. So the rest of the morning was basically spent in the quarrel. All parties involved Ouyang Yun's insistence on not giving up his share allowed Ouyang Yun to learn the true temperament of many famous people.
It continued at one o'clock in the afternoon. At first they were still arguing. Finally, under Ouyang Yun's suggestion, everyone sat down and made calculations based on the number of troops, the number of enemies wiped out, and the area of defense. Finally, they finally settled on a rough plan. This plan , the Central Army was allocated eighteen divisions, the Northeastern Army five, and then the ten left for the Allied Army were subtracted. The remaining Sichuan Army received five, and the other four parties basically each had three divisions.
Fu Zuoyi and Lu Han were both satisfied that the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Dian Army could obtain three divisions. As for the Gui Army, Bai Chongxi verbally expressed dissatisfaction but did not object. Marshal Zhang was very happy that Ouyang Yun could fulfill his private promise and said on the spot He will do his best to support the construction of the joint force, and sincerely expressed that if Ouyang Yun agrees, he will call Yu Xuezhong and let all Yu Xuezhong's troops join the joint army. The Northeast Army will form an expeditionary force to march westward. The only The one who was omitted from the compilation was Yu Xuezhong. Yu Xuezhong had already proven the department’s combat effectiveness and determination to resist Japan with facts. Ouyang Yun was very moved after hearing this, and he solemnly agreed.
Those who are most dissatisfied with the distribution plan are the Central Army and the GCD Army. As for the Central Army, getting eighteen divisions can actually allow Chen Cheng and others to return to Chongqing calmly, but even if they want to show it to the Chongqing leader, they must They were very dissatisfied. As for the GCD, Chen Geng and others were a bit messy. They insisted that the GCD military was the second largest among the domestic anti-Japanese armed forces, so it should get the second largest share. They insisted that they should get ten divisions.
Due to the opposition of the Central Army and the GCD Army, the agreement could not be signed that day. Ouyang Yun suggested to continue in the evening, so after yesterday's dinner party, the General Headquarters of the Xuebing Army organized another working dinner at the same place. The meeting started at half past six. Because the meeting would continue later, everyone was told to drink only in moderation. Without alcohol as a matchmaker, the atmosphere was never lively. Everyone was eating a meager and tasteless meal when Chang Gen suddenly drank. Walked in with a cane,
Naturally, he came to see Ouyang Yun. Compared with his predecessor Mu Jiandie, Chang Gen was not well-known in the country, so when he walked in, many people just glanced at him and stopped paying attention. But Ouyang Yun also had Ji Xing. However, Li Tieshu immediately judged from his expression that something big must have happened.
"Commander-in-Chief, urgent information." Chang Gen walked to Ouyang Yun, lowered his head to him, and handed him a piece of information.
The intelligence was sent by Xia Wenyun, saying that the Japanese will launch the Qinling Operation in the near future, and their biggest reliance is a new type of fighter plane.
Originally, only Ouyang Yun and Mu Jiandie were qualified to contact Xia Wenyun. Mu Jiandie was based in Chongqing. After Ouyang Yun went to Karachi, the contact with him was handed over to Chang Gen.
"The little Japs don't want to cross the Qinling Mountains and use troops in the rear area," Li Tieshu said in a low voice after reading the intelligence.
Ouyang Yun: "It's very possible." As he said that, he looked at Chen Cheng and Chen Geng, and then said to Liu Kui who was standing aside: "Old Liu, go and ask Vice Chairman Chen to come to my office and say there is an urgent military situation. "
