Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 868 Military Parade

May 5th, Guangzhou.

On the Democracy Square on the left side of the Guangzhou Municipal Government named after Zhongshan, a massive military parade is going on.Today is the anniversary of the fourth anniversary of the founding of the Xuebing Army, and it is also the fourth Army Day since the establishment of the Xuebing Army.The Xuebing Army suffered a lot in the battle at the junction of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi some time ago, with nearly [-] casualties.Such a casualty amount is quite huge for the Xuebing Army. In order to commemorate the martyrs who died in battle, and to show the strength of the Xuebing Army to the public and unite people's hearts, after discussing with Ji Xingwen, Ouyang Yun and Ji Xingwen decided to take this The Army Day was made a bit more grand.

Time goes by like running water, and before you know it, Xue Bingjun has already gone through four years, and those who know it feel: It's not easy.

On the first Army Day, at that time, the cadet army was at the regiment level, with a total of more than 200 people and experienced a farce.On that Army Day, remembering the comrades-in-arms who died was the only event, and since then, as the cadet army has grown up like bamboo, the military parade has become the top priority.

And from the third year onwards, the Soldiers Army's Army Day began to allow "spectators", making the festival that originally belonged to the soldiers become a festival for the people in the jurisdiction.It is a tradition that Chinese people like to join in the fun, so the military parade has become the most favorite show for the people, and the most concerned program for the media and spies from various countries.

Today is different from the past, and many people think it is inappropriate to hold such a large-scale military parade at this time.

The current surrounding situation of Xue Bingjun is not optimistic, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as jittery.Although the large-scale mobilization of the Japanese army stopped because the Wang family suddenly came forward to reveal the details of the Sino-Japanese peace talks, the Japanese navy and army have assembled about 20 troops in the southwestern area of ​​Zhejiang and the Taiwan Strait. 20 devils with guns and live ammunition were displayed in the northeast, southeast, and east directions of the Xuebing Army. For this reason, Ouyang Yun had to withdraw a division from the Fifth Xuejun Army stationed in Hainan to Shangrao to deal with a war that might break out at any time.

Because of Wang Xi's sudden move, old Jiang Mingzhe had to abandon Kong Xiangxi, who had followed him for many years, in order to protect himself.After the power imbalance between the Wang and Jiang factions in Chongqing, in order to gain the support of the Xuebing Army, Lao Jiang transferred back his direct line from Guangxi and Jiangxi.However, perhaps because they were worried that the Xuebing Army would encroach on these areas after the Central Army withdrew, Dai Li's people began to enter these areas, and with the help of Xue Yue, they began to mobilize local landlords and Lao Cai to form security groups.

Although the land reform carried out by the Xuebing Army in Guangdong and Fujian did not use too much violence, it was still resisted by the landlords and wealthy classes.Landlords and veterans in the West and West are most worried that after the army of soldiers enters their area, they will continue the previous land policy, so they are very responsive to the actions of the army.With the establishment of hundreds of security forces, the border between the West and the Xuebing Army has become less peaceful.

The security forces during the Republic of China were the most important part of the later puppet army, which shows the inferiority of these security forces.The Xuebing Army now has five regular armies. The Xueyi Army did not participate in the garrison in northeastern Jiangxi and southeastern Fujian because Xueyi Division went to the northwest and was responsible for the defense of Guangzhou.The Fifth Army was stationed in Hainan. Because of the fact that one division was transferred, the strength of the two divisions on the huge land of Hainan was already weak, so it was impossible to allocate troops to guard the area bordering the West and the West.Learn from the Second Army, the Third Army, and the Fourth Army to guard against the Japanese.In desperation, Ouyang Yun had no choice but to turn to the three divisions reorganized from the 57th Army, and asked them to move to the border areas between the two west to ensure that these areas would not be disturbed by those bandit security forces.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that many people think it is inappropriate to hold a military parade.

Ouyang Yun was very busy during this time, so busy that his feet barely touched the ground, but even so, there were still many things that could not be dealt with in a timely manner, which made him often feel: this is not a good commander-in-chief of the army.

In that time and space, he had read a book, but he could not remember the name of the book, but the meaning was engraved in his heart. It said that a real successful person does not need to experience everything by himself, but only needs to formulate a reasonable plan. A long-lived system will do.As someone who is a bit lazy by nature, he used to admire this book very much, but now, he spits at the author of this book and scolds shit.

The so-called successful person also depends on the scale of his success.When Ouyang Yun first formed the Academy, he must have never expected that the Academy would go so far and grow into such a giant.The bigger the furniture, the more things to consider.As the soul of this army, as the head of this military government, many things must be resolved by him nodding.It's not that he doesn't want to delegate power, but the current situation of Xue Bingjun doesn't allow him to delegate too much power.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.The human heart is much more complicated and selfish than the bird's heart, so factions appear.Factions and power are definitely brothers of the same mother. When the army of soldiers can bring huge benefits to some people, factions will naturally arise.Factions are a product of civilization, and cannot be explained by simple things—it’s not about how bad people’s hearts are, it’s actually the process of social integration, because of the interaction between people, it will inevitably lead to this phenomenon.

In the past, Ouyang Yun didn't take factions seriously. He believed that when the country was about to collapse and the family was about to perish, everyone could unite as one and speak out as one.But after going through too many things, he knew that he was idealized.

When he was reading history books before, he couldn't figure out why when a dynasty or a country was on the verge of extinction, there would be so many people who could change the result, still obsessed with profit-making and internal fighting, and would not Dedicated physically and mentally to fighting against foreign aggression.After two years in Guangdong, he realized that this is the so-called human nature.

Factions cannot be distinguished simply by good or bad, so what Ouyang Yun can do now is to use his influence as much as possible to make these factions live in peace as much as possible—to put it more simply, it is to let everyone Can make a fortune.

Ouyang Yun is still too young and lacks experience, so it is impossible to play with people's hearts like some legendary heroes.His advantage is that he sees his own weaknesses and is willing to face them positively, so the student army has grown into the behemoth it is today, and it still looks monolithic on the outside.

Many people are opposed to holding a military parade, because they have to consider whether the troops of their faction will be attacked by superior devils during this period, and thus suffer unbearable losses.

The reason why Ouyang Yun wanted to hold a military parade was to increase the cohesion of the entire student army. He wanted his soldiers to be proud of the strength of their troops - this pride was based on one foundation, that is, when When all the soldiers clenched into one fist.

Ouyang Yun didn't pay much attention to his own image before, but now, he cares about it very much.The reason for this is that he realized the significance of the "heroic image" to unite the army of students.

Students from all over the world can gather under one big banner and be proud of being a soldier. To a certain extent, isn't it because the commander-in-chief is an anti-Japanese hero?A troubled world, a country with ill-fated fate, needs heroes.This is actually what the times make heroes.Ouyang Yun's approach is very simple, it doesn't matter how many factions you have, whether you are wholeheartedly thinking about the student army and the resistance against Japan, as long as I am a good hero, as long as I maintain the influence over the vast majority of the students, that's enough.

"The military parade must be held. We must let the people see our strength. We must convince them that our apprentice army can protect them. We will be the strongest fortress between them and the devils!" Ouyang After Yun said these words in the conference call, various preparations for the military parade began as scheduled.

This Army Day, the biggest problem is air defense.

Since the "Sink It" operation, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy has been thinking of revenge all the time.The Japanese Navy Combined Fleet now has three aircraft carrier fleets cruising along the coast around Fujian. Once they can assemble and dispatch a large-scale fighter group to attack Guangzhou, then the Army Day may become a death festival.

"Commander, we understand your thoughts. However, have you ever thought that if the little devils launch a large-scale air strike at that time, if it causes great casualties to the people, wouldn't it be counterproductive?" Jiang Guangnai said, worried.

Ouyang Yun smiled on the other end of the phone: "The risk is indeed great, but this is also an opportunity. Our air force is not vegetarian, and our air defense force is strong enough. If we can hit the incoming Japanese planes head-on, isn't it Can it highlight the strength of our army?"

"Commander, I still think this matter should be treated with caution."

"Well, let's vote! Lao Li, you express your opinion first."

There are two Lis in the top ranks of the Xuebing Army. Among them, the one who can be called "Lao Li, Lao Li" by Ouyang Yun is naturally Li Tieshu who was killed from Renqiu with him.

Ouyang Yun's move is very powerful. In fact, this is also the most effective way for him to eliminate the influence of factions in some major decisions.Li Tieshu naturally supported him unconditionally when he called for a statement, and others, no matter if they were old Cantonese, old Fujian, or Northwest, naturally couldn't openly disagree with him.

The matter of the military parade was settled in this way, and in order to deal with possible air strikes, Li Tieshu and Tielin Fei, together with several division commanders of the Air Force and several heads of the air defense force directly under the headquarters, formed an air defense team.Just a week before the military parade started, they began to nervously set up air defense positions, formulate fighter jet cruise methods, and tried their best to ensure the safety of the military parade.
