Chen Shichang took the telegram and read it, his expression became a little excited. After the Second Aviation Corps in Anqing was annihilated, the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet became the biggest threat to the Madang Fortress. Ouyang Yun's previous plan was to show the enemy in the early stage Because they were weak, in the face of the provocation of the Yangtze River Fleet, the fortress artillery and the heavy artillery gathered by the legions showed great restraint. The defenders' restraint made the Japanese of the Yangtze River Fleet mistakenly believe that the artillery bombardment had achieved results, so they behaved more and more arrogantly during this period. Domineering, the one closest to the fortress actually broke within five kilometers. The rampage of the Yangtze River Fleet made the artillerymen very angry. They did not know the command's plan, and were very puzzled that they were afraid of the enemy and avoided fighting even though they were capable of counterattack. Chen Shichang had already made trouble more than once. Chen Shichang handed the telegram back to Huang Hua and said excitedly: "Brigadier Zhang complained to me some time ago, saying that the brothers below were very emotional. Now, he is giving some color to the little devil. It’s time to take a look.”
Ouyang Yun took a sip of tea and said coldly: "If you don't want to hit them, then beat them thoroughly. By the way, how are Qi Yonghui and the others doing recently? I'll go check on them after lunch."
Qi Yonghui is the leader of the torpedo team and a blasting expert in the Langya Special Brigade.
"He is also very opinionated. He said that if he had known that there would be no mission, it would be better to follow Xiao Yi on the mission. Commander-in-Chief, do you have time now?"
"Um."
"There is something I want to discuss with you."
Seeing Chen Shichang's serious look, Ouyang Yun was slightly surprised. Then, he noticed that Chen Shichang's eyes glanced at Takahashi Ryoko intentionally or unintentionally. He understood and said, "Okay, let's go outside."
There are many people in the Xuebing Army who are opposed to the Guangzhou branch of the Anti-War League joining the army. Perhaps it is because Ouyang Yun himself behaves extremely anti-Japanese, so there are many Japanese-haters in the Xuebing Army, and it is precisely because of this sentiment With the spread of the epidemic, they have always maintained a skeptical attitude towards anti-war people like Takahashi from Japan. In this way, it is not difficult to understand their opposition on this matter.
Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang walked out of the headquarters one after another and stopped under a crooked-neck cedar tree. Ouyang Yun asked: "Shichang, what's the matter? You look very serious."
"It's about Miss Liangzi. Many people in the headquarters feel that letting her stay in the headquarters would risk leaking secrets. They didn't dare to personally accept your suggestion, so they found me."
Ouyang Yun was aware of this problem from the first time Takahashi entered the headquarters. Therefore, regardless of what Takahashi himself thought, he immediately selected two capable female soldiers from the Niangziyun Guards to protect him. placed beside her in the name of
Under the leadership of Shui Hongxiu and Bai Liusu, the Niangziyunwei Regiment is now different from what it used to be. Their combat effectiveness and business capabilities have been greatly improved. Considering their female status, Shui Hongxiu specially applied to make a Collect glory bombs in case they might be captured and use them to kill themselves,
When Shui Hongxiu first submitted this plan, Ouyang Yun was extremely opposed to it. Although he came from a later generation and was far more enlightened than people today, in fact, he was still very chauvinistic deep down in his heart. He stubbornly believed that women should be The weak should be protected and stay away from war, so for the first time, he rejected the proposal without consulting anyone. The original intention of the establishment of the Detachment of Women was just to solve the problem of the "female bandits" who came down from Yingya Mountain. , However, what he did not expect was that the Detachment of Women actually had such a good soil for growth. Her development soon deviated from this original intention. When Bai Liusu joined, he later replaced Liu Kui and others and became Ouyang. cloud guard force,
At that time, he said to Shui Hongxiu and Bai Liusu: "Letting you women go to the battlefield is the limit that I can accept. How can I still accept such a cruel proposal now? Don't even think about it. Don't worry, I won't let you Faced with this kind of situation, the men of Xue Bingjun are not dead yet."
He said these words of course, but he did not expect that he was strongly protested by Shui Hongxiu and the female representatives of the military and political affairs, led by Shui Hongxiu and Mei Lanshu, who believed that he was discriminating against women. Because of Mei Lanshu's participation, Shui Hongxiu became even more A "volunteer letter" signed by all female soldiers was compiled, formally requesting that for their dignity, they must be allowed to equip honor bombs to avoid being insulted.
This incident caused a big fuss at the time, and Ouyang Yun was disgraced in public for the first time. In the end, Jiang Shuren came out to make peace and explained to Ouyang Yun, saying that this was just the commander-in-chief's goodwill to protect his female compatriots, and It was not because of discrimination against them that the matter was finally revealed.
Takahashi and the Japanese soldiers from the Guangzhou branch of the Anti-War League had already caused a bad influence in the minds of the officers and soldiers of the regiment going north. Chen Shichang said it very tactfully and did not reflect the following situation truthfully. If he had told it truthfully, it is estimated that Ouyang Yun will definitely jump three feet high now,
Takahashi and his companions can play an irreplaceable role in the decisions of Ouyang Yun and the top brass of the Xuebing Army. However, in the minds of the uninformed officers and soldiers at the middle and lower levels, they think that this is the commander-in-chief's attempt to satisfy himself. It was a decision made based on selfish desires. After all, the affair between the Commander-in-Chief and a Japanese woman was widely spread throughout the city. The two sides considered the issue from different perspectives, so misunderstandings inevitably occurred.
Chen Shichang spoke cryptically. Ouyang Yun had been staying at the headquarters these days and had not gone downstairs, so he did not know about it. He said to Chen Shichang matter-of-factly: "There is no need to worry about this. I have already arranged people from the Detachment of Women around her. Even if she is really a Japanese spy, she has no chance to send out information. Well, these guys have been too busy recently and started to think nonsense. Go back and tell them that if you have this free time, it is better to sleep more. There will be fierce battles next. , Well, I haven’t been here for a long time. It seems that these guys are itchy. They don’t want to think about whether the people in our command post are just doing it. What they can think of, we will not consider. "
Chen Shichang smiled bitterly. He could not resist the enthusiasm of the brothers. When he agreed to come to the Commander-in-Chief for advice, he actually expected such an ending. However, even if it was just to help the Commander-in-Chief eliminate the negative impression in the hearts of the brothers, he felt that He also had the obligation to clarify this matter with the Commander-in-Chief. Knowing that he might not have made it clear just now, he thought for a while and said: "Commander-in-Chief, people's words are terrible. I think that under the current situation, it is better to keep a distance from Miss Liangzi. Well, after all, he is not a staff member of the command headquarters."
Ouyang Yun did not take this question seriously at first, but now, when he realized that there was something wrong in Chen Shichang's words, he decided that it would be better to ask clearly. He asked seriously: "What is going on? Please tell me clearly. a little."
It was hard to say this, otherwise Chen Shichang would not have talked about him at first. He grinned and said hesitantly: "When we were in Guangzhou, there were originally some bad rumors about you and Miss Liangzi. In fact, In fact, everyone is thinking about the Commander-in-Chief, they, they are afraid that you will be tempted by Miss Liangzi."
"Haha." Ouyang Yun laughed and laughed twice. He suddenly realized that things might not be as simple as he thought. He frowned and asked: "Tell me honestly, how many people hold this idea?"
Chen Shichang nodded gently,
Ouyang Yun raised his head and looked into the distance. There were originally lush mountains and forests. However, after the Japanese Yangtze River fleet's indiscriminate bombing in the past few days, many places among them turned gray and black. The war between humans has hurt It’s not only human beings, but also innocent nature. It’s my own negligence. Oh, why haven’t I realized it yet? Now, I am the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army, and I am burdened with the expectations of tens of millions of people. Well, , It seems that I really need to reflect on it, , I haven't corrected my position yet, he thought, his heart gradually became heavy, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then turned to Chen Shichang and said: "In this matter I handled the matter improperly. If you go back and tell the brothers, you will say that I have realized my mistake. Thank you everyone for reminding me. I will pay attention to it in the future."
The larger the student army is, the more powerful Ouyang Yun is. Even though he himself feels that it is still the same as before, in the minds of others, they no longer dare to have such thoughts. Fortunately, there are die-hard Yun like Chen Shichang. The party wanted to protect him from the bottom of his heart. Regardless of the rumors outside, the old people in the Xuebing Army who had always stayed by his side and almost watched him grow up. In their minds, Ouyang Yun had not changed much. After all, there had been The experience of living and dying together. After all, Xuebingjun is their child. Based on these two points alone, they are willing to loyally protect Ouyang Yun.
Chen Shichang stood at attention, saluted him with a military salute, and then offered him a subtle flattery: "Let me just say, the Commander-in-Chief is not this kind of person. Those guys still don't believe it. Haha, Commander-in-Chief, I am now Completely relaxed.”
"Um."
"I was really worried that you would become angry just now, hehe."
"You guys, your skin is itchy."
Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang returned to the headquarters talking and laughing. The staff in the headquarters looked at each other. The tense expressions of many young staff officers finally relaxed. No matter what Ouyang Yun thought, they were in front of a Japanese woman. Having confidential discussions under the attention of others, the awkward feeling makes them always suppress their true emotions and dare not express their opinions or argue too loudly. There is no doubt that this affects their thinking ability and breadth.
Takahashi is a smart woman, she is very sensitive, so although the young staff officers were very reserved, she still felt it. When Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang walked in side by side, she knew that she would stay here for a long time. It won't be too long. Maybe it's time to find something to do. Since I have determined that this will help the country, then no matter what other people think, I must go on bravely, no matter how big the sacrifice is. The price, the Japanese woman thought in her mind, bit her lip lightly, and quickly made a decision,
