After Zhang Yunfei summoned everyone to hold a meeting, less than two hours, at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the 36th Army received a telegram from Ma Bufang.

Zhang Yunfei, who saw the content of the telegram, sneered in his heart.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of General Staff, Comrade Deng Wenping, Director of the General Political Department, and Comrade Liu Dazhu, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, all looked serious, and everyone was also angry.

In the telegram just now, Ma Bufang not only did not apologize, but instead asked Zhang Yunfei's troops to withdraw from Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia within three days. Otherwise, Ma Bufang would send troops to wipe out the entire country.

The telegram also stated that the incident in Bazhou only gave the 36th Army a small warning. In three days, the soldiers of the 36th Army from Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia will be wiped out on a large scale.

It seems that Ma Bufang also knew that the 36th Army sent so many working teams to enter the above three provinces. Now, Ma Bufang is also impatient to send his own troops to seize territory everywhere.

Looking at the telegram, Zhang Yunfei didn't say a word, but Zhang Yunfei's heart was already full of anger.

When the deputy commander-in-chief Liu Dazhu saw that everyone was not speaking, he immediately said anxiously: "Commander-in-chief, Ma Bufang is too ignorant of the world. I suggest sending troops to annihilate Ma Bufang immediately."

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of Staff of the General Staff, and Comrade Deng Wenping, Director of the General Political Department, also spoke one after another, suggesting that troops be sent immediately.

Zhang Yunfei had already made a decision in his heart. Even if everyone didn't say it, Zhang Yunfei would send troops. This time, Zhang Yunfei not only wanted to send troops, but also took Xining directly, resolutely and quickly annihilated Ma Bufang.

So, Zhang Yunfei looked serious and said seriously: "Tell me the order, and ordered the commander of the armored division, Wu Youqing, to lead the first tank, and the 2nd Brigade immediately set out from Baotou and seize Xining directly. Annihilate Ma Bufang.

The Armored Division Mechanized Infantry Brigade was ordered to cooperate with the First Cavalry Brigade of the Cavalry Division to seize Bazhou and Wuwei, and annihilate Ma Bufang's First Cavalry Division to avenge their comrades.

The Flight Brigade Airborne Regiment was ordered to quickly airborne Xining as long as the first and second brigade of the Armored Division tanks reached Xining. Cooperate with the combat of the First and Second brigade of the Armored Division tanks."

The combat staff next to them also looked serious and recorded Zhang Yunfei's orders seriously. In less than 10 minutes, Zhang Yunfei's orders were sent to the hands of various participating troops.

Now, the Armored Division and the First Brigade of the Cavalry Division are resting in Baotou. Since receiving Zhang Yunfei's combat order two or three hours ago, the troops have begun to prepare for the conquest.

Now, as soon as Zhang Yunfei received the second order, the armored division immediately divided into two groups.

The first route is the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which has more than 100 armored personnel carriers and three or four hundred armed off-road vehicles, like a long dragon. It is heading straight towards Bazhou.

The second route is the First Tank Brigade, the Second Brigade, the Two Brigades have 300 tanks, 5000 armored personnel carriers, nearly 1,000 tanks, and dozens of tankers supplying them. They are all in a mighty way and head straight to Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province.

At present, in order to facilitate the establishment of a column in the future, Zhang Yunfei upgraded the first and second tank regiments of the Armored Division and the Mechanized Infantry Regiments to brigades, and added some recently produced tanks and armored vehicles to these three brigades.

The First Brigade of the Cavalry Division, which received the order, three cavalry regiments, seven or eight thousand cavalry soldiers, had a diagonal ak-47 assault rifle, with a sharp saberry inserted between her waist, and thousands of horses galloping, raising the dust that soared into the sky, a large area of ​​blackness, with a rainbow of momentum, heading towards Bazhou.

............

Bazhou.

In the afternoon, in this small town near Suiyuan Province, more and more cavalry gathered. Ma Bufang's first division commander was Ma Biao, who led a large number of cavalry and also came to Bazhou.

Ma Biao looked at the small town of Bazhou with a happy expression, and then personally saw the arrested platoon leader Hu and the other two. Seeing the two soldiers of the 36th Army who were tortured and basically not adults, a smile appeared on Ma Biao's face.

Ma Biao thought to himself, so what if your 36th Army is powerful in fighting the Japanese? We have been caught by us. The vast areas of Gansu and Ningxia, after the Japanese run away, they will still fall into the hands of our Ma family army.

Seeing that his commander Ma Biao arrived, the one-eyed company commander who was in charge of interrogation here was flattering and said with a smile: "Hello, Master, look, these two people can't hold on anymore, and they will tell the truth soon."

Upon hearing this, Ma Biao nodded again, looking happy.

He patted the one-eyed company commander on the shoulder with joy and said happily: "Company Commander Ma, thank you for your hard work."

After receiving praise, the one-eyed company commander was flattered and was very excited.

Platoon Commander Hu was tied up and looking at these people, just like looking at a group of dead people, Platoon Commander Hu had a premonition in his heart that his reinforcements would definitely come, and then it would be time to take revenge.

Because they were full of hope, these two soldiers from the 36th Army had been supporting them with their strong will, otherwise they would have died tragically at the hands of these people.

Ma Biao looked at the two soldiers from the 36th Army, with a happy face and a sickly pride in his heart.

Suddenly, Ma Biao's eyes fell on several AK-47 assault rifles placed on the table, and he became interested immediately. He immediately said to the one-eyed company commander next to him: "Company Commander Ma, what kind of gun is that? Take it over and show me."

The one-eyed company commander immediately picked up an AK-47 assault rifle on the table and handed it to his division commander, with a flattery and respectful look on his face, and he was simply nodding and bowing, "Secretary, you can see that these were seized from the hands of the twenty or thirty soldiers of the 36th Army."

Ma Biao took the ak-47 assault rifle, looked at it a little, then threw it aside with interest, and said with disdain: "It's so bulky, much heavier than our flower machine gun. It's definitely not a good product, but our flower machine gun is better."

Upon hearing this, the one-eyed company commander next to him also looked agreeable. Next to Ma Biao, several guards holding flower machine guns were proudly fiddling with the flower machine gun they were holding.

Ma Biao's First Cavalry Division was equipped with about 100 Shanxi-made Hua Machinery Guns, which made Ma Biao very proud. You should know that Ma Lu's Second Cavalry Division was only equipped with dozens of Hua Machinery Guns.

Ma Biao, who was used to seeing Hua Machine Gun, thought Hua Machine Gun was the best gun, which was light and powerful, and was very suitable for his cavalry use. Therefore, Ma Biao just fiddled with this ak-47 assault rifle and immediately threw it aside.

Some people are speechless with such a good gun.

The two soldiers of the 36th Army tied to the 36th Army were so funny when they saw that these people were not aware of the goods, they actually compared the Hua machine gun made by Jin and the AK-47 assault rifle.

You should know that no matter in terms of range, firepower, power, and quality, the Jin-made Hua machine gun cannot be compared with the AK-47 assault rifle, and the two are not of the same level at all.

The Hua machine gun made by Jin not only has a short range, it is only more than 100 meters, but also has much less power. Since it was produced by the Taiyuan Arsenal in the past, its quality is much worse than the AK-47 assault rifle.

The two soldiers from the 36th Army looked at these arrogant and short-sighted guys and couldn't help but curl their lips.

Xining, Qinghai Province.

In Ma Bufang's mansion, Ma Bufang was summoning a large group of his confidants and discussing how to deal with the 36th Army.

Since the telegram was sent out, Ma Bufang has been feeling uneasy. Ma Bufang, who is very superstitious, immediately summoned a group of his confidants to plot together.

Basically all of the people here are Ma's surname, basically all of them are Huiren. Only such people can become Ma Bufang's confidants. Therefore, the location of this meeting was also set at Ma Bufang's mansion.

Ma Bufang used the four principles of "Gan, He, Hui, Ma" (i.e., Gansu, Hezhou, and Hezhou - now Linxia from Gansu Province. Before liberation, Linxia was called Hezhou, Hui, and Ma surname) as the standard of employment. The core power adopts the feudal inheritance method of father's death and son's succession, and brother's succession.

Such employment and inheritance methods were decided by Ma Bufang's fathers. Now, after decades of development, Ma Bufang's troops have gradually become a large warlord armed force in the northwest.

Ma Bufang, who was sitting high in the first place, looked around his confidants, and then asked: "Everyone, we are all brothers who have been through life and death with me. Now, our 40th Army and Zhang Yunfei's 36th Army have faced each other. A few hours ago, I sent a telegram to the 36th Army, but after the telegram was sent, I always felt uneasy and worried that something big would happen. Let's talk about what to do?"

Ma Hong, the commander of the Fifth Cavalry Army, is Ma Bufang's absolute confidant and one of Ma Bufang's left and right arms. As soon as Ma Bufang finished speaking, the first person to speak was Ma Hong.

Ma Hong laughed and said indifferently: "Commander-in-Chief, you have been worried. We and the 36th Army are just getting fire. It's just a small incident. Such things often happen all over the country."

What Ma Hong said is true. Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have only let go of temporary grievances and everyone is united in the foreign countries. However, it does not mean that there is no friction between the two sides. On the contrary, as the Eighth Route Army gradually becomes stronger, Chiang Kai-shek is also very worried. The friction between the ** troops and the Eighth Route Army is constantly changing. There is no war between the two sides, but there are still small battles.

Although Ma Hong is telling the truth, Ma Hong underestimated Zhang Yunfei. Now Zhang Yunfei is already very angry, and the consequences will be very serious.
