Since the establishment of the Xuebing Army, several rectification movements have been carried out. However, this time it was initiated by a woman and carried out throughout the army. It was the first of its kind.
Ouyang Yun has been paying close attention to Bai Liusu's every move. Bai Liusu can ignore his whims and walk around gracefully, but he doesn't dare to do it anyway. His butt determines his head, so he can do it as he pleases, but It is estimated that in a month at most, the Xuebing Army will be disbanded. Many times, Ouyang Yun stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the banyan tree in the headquarters compound, and would think: What kind of life is this? Is it what you want? According to your personality, maybe it would be more suitable to be a low-level officer who charges into battle.
Although Bai Liusu is still a child, he can be regarded as one of the "founding fathers" of the Xuebing Army. For so long, Bai Liusu has made great achievements, let alone being a brigade commander, even being a division commander is enough. In this regard, Ouyang Yun owed her a debt. If he hadn't deliberately suppressed her, maybe she would have become a nationally famous Hua Mulan-like figure now.
Among the women, Ouyang Yun is the most tolerant towards Bai Liusu. In his opinion, Bai Liusu is obviously ignorant this time and is acting nonsense. He is very worried that she will cause a big trouble if she acts recklessly in the 14th Brigade. Come, so always pay attention and be prepared to wipe her "butt",
But he underestimated Bai Liusu, or he simply didn't understand how powerful this little woman of his was. Not only was she a good singer, she was pretty, and she had great kung fu, she actually had the potential to be a general. Look at her. With this first fire, all the officers and soldiers of the 14th Brigade seemed to have a torch burning behind their buttocks, causing these bird soldiers to get up early and run and jump on the training ground one by one, for fear of being killed by a group of female soldiers. Dumped,
After the First Self-study Division and the Mountain Division experienced a decline in combat effectiveness due to the replacement of weapons and equipment in the Northwest, Ouyang Yun was determined to focus on the training and construction of the troops. Now he has an excuse.
"The harassment of female soldiers by male soldiers in the 14th Brigade shows that our troops and our soldiers are now complacent and prone to corruption. This is something the headquarters never wants to see. , In view of this, the General Headquarters has decided to launch a rectification movement in the entire army starting from next week, resolutely eliminate all unhealthy tendencies, and it is necessary to build the student army into an armed force with excellent thinking and combat skills... "
A vigorous rectification movement was launched among the three armed forces, and complementary to it was the implementation of new and stricter military disciplines.
When the rectification movement began to be carried out in full swing in various units, many people came back to discuss the incident of Bai Liusu at the grassroots level. They felt that this was a deliberate move by the commander-in-chief and a successful strategic adjustment by the general headquarters.
"There's going to be another war, for sure."
"Recently, the air in Guangxi has been suffocating. The military commander and our Fox Tong people are fighting against each other. The fighting is unprecedentedly cruel."
... Various rumors are circulating in the market. The atmosphere in the market, which had just eased due to the end of the war between Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, has become tense again.
In Chongqing, Mu Jiandie and Dai Li met again, but the difference was that this time, both parties were purely representatives, one represented Ouyang Yun, the other represented Lao Jiang, and they were talking about the major matter of cooperation between the GMD Central Committee and the Xuebing Army.
This time, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to have no choice. Otherwise, with his bent on being a dictator, he would never cooperate with a separatist warlord force like the Xuebing Army. The development of the political situation in Chongqing during this period , breaking the past practice of the army deciding everything. Although the Wang Group did not control much of the army, because it had great righteousness, it actually used the power of the people to make a comeback and successfully obtained a part of the real power from Chiang Kai-shek. Wang Zhaoming himself not only succeeded became the President of the Executive Yuan, and one of his subordinates was appointed as the Minister of Finance.
The position of the Finance Minister is too important. Although the army has guns, it also needs money to support it. Once the Finance Minister becomes the possession of the Wang Clan, some double-dealing troops will immediately switch to the Wang Clan. This not only completely changes the military situation of the Chongqing government The situation also allowed the Wang faction to truly stand on the front stage of history and have the conditions to challenge old Chiang Kai-shek. In this case, a relatively powerful warlord like the Xuebing Army suddenly took the initiative and stood on the central government's side. On the one hand, he was naturally welcomed by Chiang Kai-shek.
The Xuebing Army is an untrue ally. On the one hand, it openly and clearly supports the central government, and on the other hand, it drives a wedge between the two wests and bribes them. This makes Chiang Kai-shek afraid to easily mobilize the troops in those two places. Under this situation , Dai Li’s urgent request to see Mu Jiandie seemed to be a matter of course.
"The Chairman is extremely gratified and appreciative of the commander-in-chief of your army for his unequivocal support for the Central Committee under such circumstances. The Xuebing Army is one of the most determined anti-Japanese teams among all local armed forces in the country. Your army's contribution to the cause of anti-Japanese war is great. The Chairman saw this and was deeply moved... We had some misunderstandings before. Now, the Chairman is willing to open his heart and candidly exchange his views on the current situation with the Commander-in-Chief of your army. He also hopes that the Commander-in-Chief of your army will read Since we are all the most resolute anti-Japanese team, don’t worry too much about the improper practices of some of the troops below..."
Dai Li babbled a lot, but the only thing he meant was that he hoped that the Xuebing Army would stop making trouble in the two wests and stop making a fuss in the two wests. In order to thank the Xuebing Army for its help, the Military Commission was not only willing to add Ouyang Yun will serve as a committee member, and a tenth war zone will be established, with Ouyang Yun serving as the commander-in-chief of the tenth war zone. At the same time, their leadership and command rights over the 57th Army and the armies of Fujian, Qiongzhou and Guangdong will be officially recognized.
Ouyang Yun did not mention these conditions when he decided to unequivocally support Chiang Kai-shek. Of course, based on Mu Jiandie's understanding of the Commander-in-Chief, he did not think that the Commander-in-Chief would selflessly make such a statement. In fact, although Ouyang Yun had shown enough hostility to the Wang Clan from the beginning, but the Wang Clan still regarded the Xuebing Army as a target to win over. Therefore, the conditions they offered were even more favorable, and they actually asked Ouyang Yun to serve on the Military Commission. Not only that, he was also willing to put the two western regions under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Army, and at the same time, add two army groups to them.
In comparison, the conditions offered by the Wang family were more attractive, but Ouyang Yun didn't even leave any room for it and refused immediately. He said to Zhang Guoliang, who came to lobby: As long as Wang Zhaoming is willing to provide electricity throughout the country, it means that he How did he obtain the evidence of the peace talks between the Chongqing government and Japan? Then I don’t mind standing behind him and drawing a clear line with Chiang Kai-shek from now on.
Mu Jiandie did not dare to make the decision without permission, so he sent electricity to Guangzhou with Dai Li watching and informed Chiang Kai-shek of the terms offered.
It happened that Li Tieshu happened to be at the headquarters. Ouyang Yun smiled when he received the telegram. He showed the telegram to Li Tieshu and said, "Old Li, look at it, is this condition worth giving up our operations in the two wests?"
Li Tieshu read it carefully, and then sneered: "Entering the Military Commission, this is already a certainty, right? The tenth war zone will be established separately. Hey, aren't we a war zone now? It seems that all war zones in the country have the greatest pressure and the heaviest responsibilities.
Yes, the 57th Army was merged into the National Army. Humph, he is trying to sow discord between us and General Feng. By the way, the position of Vice Chairman of General Feng was fought for by the Wang faction, right? Old Jiang
This hand kills three birds with one stone."
Ouyang Yun first threw a cigarette to Li Tieshu, then lit it himself, and said: "Lao Jiang, how should I put it? He treats everyone as a fool, but he is the only one who is smart. It is not that we cannot accept this condition.
But the conditions need to be changed. The 57th Army will be merged into our army and a new theater will be established, with Zhang Zizhong as the commander of the theater. The scope of this area includes Shaanxi, Suiyuan and Mongolia."
Li Tieshu: "It's unlikely. Shaanxi is close to Sichuan. Sichuan is now the most important source of wealth for the central government. Besides, does Fu Zuoyi agree to give up his post as commander of the theater and take orders from Zhang Zizhong? It's simply impossible."
"Do you know why I want the 57th Army to stay in Shaanxi? It's not because of Suiyuan, but because of this area." Ouyang Yun said, turned around and slapped the area of Outer Mongolia heavily with his right palm.
The military map hanging in Ouyang Yun's office is the most peculiar piece in the Xuebing Army. The peculiarity lies in the addition of Outer Mongolia. Li Tieshu and others have been looking at this map for a long time. Although they were wondering why it was above
I would go to Outer Mongolia more often, but I didn’t think about it.
Outer Mongolia was officially independent in 1922. It has been more than ten years since then. Chinese people (except some angry youths) have almost forgotten that Outer Mongolia was once part of China, but Ouyang Yun used a
This map shows that he never forgot this,
As a soldier, no one with a sense of honor wants to see their country divided and their land divided. Li Tieshu glanced at Ouyang Yun and saw a determination on his face. He couldn't help but feel warm and tempted.
He asked: "Ouyang, what do you mean?"
Ouyang Yun nodded firmly and said: "It belongs to us, and we must take it back, Lao Li. In fact, this world war is an opportunity for us."
Li Tieshu was stunned: "What do you mean by world war?"
The definition of World War II is generally recognized by historians from various countries as starting with the outbreak of the Battle of Poland on September 1, 1939. At this time, no one realized that a new world war was about to begin. Therefore, Ouyang Yun said
These words were already suspected of revealing the secret. Seeing Li Tieshu's expression, he knew that he had spilled the beans and quickly smoothed things over: "What I mean is that once war breaks out in Europe, it will be a world war. By then, if
If the Soviet Union is also involved in this war, then we will have the opportunity to take back Outer Mongolia, Lao Li, now you understand why I want the 57th Army to set up a separate theater."
Li Tieshu nodded,
If the goal is to regain Outer Mongolia, then it is necessary to maintain the presence of the army in the northwest. The Xuebing Army can only take care of the southern coastal area at present, but Li Tieshu believes that as long as the Xuebing Army is given time, one day
It will grow into a huge armed force that can influence the whole of Asia. By that time, if the time is right, it will not be impossible to regain Outer Mongolia.
