Finally, after Ma Hongbin returned to Yinchuan, he truthfully returned the conversation with Zhang Mingyu to Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongkui was suddenly furious, and said angrily: "Zhang Mingyu is really more cunning than himself, Lao Tzu was kind enough to give him land to let him build an arsenal, but now it's good, his son of a bitch's wings is hard, and in turn threatens Lao Tzu to come, I'm really fucking angry!" ”

"Commander, the 35th Division is still in their hands at the moment, we can still endure it, as the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and when the 35th Division returns safely, we are looking for an opportunity to settle accounts with Zhang Mingyu." Ma Hongbin persuaded.

"Humph! This Zhang Mingyu, Lao Tzu definitely can't spare him! Ma Hongkui said as if he remembered something: "Didn't you still say that he would subsidize us with 8,000 rifles, 200 light and heavy machine guns, and 2 million rounds of ammunition?" Immediately send a telegram to Ma Dianbang, and let the 35th Division stand by and receive this batch of equipment! Grandma is a bear, don't be in vain, with this batch of equipment, Lao Tzu can form an infantry division again. ”

"Well, I'll arrange this right away!" Ma Hongbin nodded slightly.

In this way, Ma Jiajun led by Ma Hongkui has been at odds with Zhang Mingyu's Reading Army since then, and when the Reading Army and Yue Kou fought bloodily, they did not add to the blocking of the Reading Army, of course, this is all a later story.

Ma Liang Mountain.

Chief of Staff Liu Cheng took a squad of guards and radio stations to round out with Zhang Mingyu safely, the two met and shook hands tightly, Zhang Mingyu said: "Chief of Staff, hard work!" ”

"It's not hard!" Liu Cheng said with a sincere face.

As he spoke, the two of them entered the headquarters surrounded by everyone.

Liu Cheng first asked about what had happened these days, and Zhang Mingyu briefly explained how to surround the 35th Division and then force Ma Hongkui to negotiate peace.

Liu Cheng sighed: "The trick of the military seat is really high, which not only solves the problem, but also avoids a large-scale bloody fight with Ma Jiajun, and falls into the charge of sabotaging the War of Resistance and creating friction." But since then, our relationship with Ma Jiajun has become more delicate, and we still have to be more mindful of people like Ma Hongkui. ”

"Hmmm! I have already thought about this problem, and I plan to use the second division and the third regiment as the backbone, plus the militia in the base area, to form the first brigade of reading, which has three infantry regiments, one tank armored regiment, and one machine gun battalion. This brigade was stationed in Ordos to defend against the Ma family's army. Zhang Mingyu nodded.

"Hmmm! I am in favor of the formation of the 1st Brigade of Reading Force, the terrain around Ordos is flat, which is conducive to the deployment of mechanized corps, and we only need to deploy one or two armored tank regiments here so that it will be enough to resist the Ma Jiajun. Liu Cheng also nodded.

"However, we only have more than 200 tanks and more than 100 armored vehicles now, and we still have to deal with myself, so we can only deploy one regiment in Ordos for the time being, and with the strong support of the Air Force, it should be enough to deal with some emergencies." Zhang Mingyu said while smoking.

At this moment, Liu Masheng, the commander of the Second Division and the Third Regiment, strode in, and Liu Masheng stood up and said: "Military seat, the 35th Division sent someone to say that he was here to receive the batch of equipment we promised to give. ”

"What? Equip? Liu Cheng asked in surprise.

Zhang Mingyu explained: "That's right, I promised Ma Hongbin to give them 8,000 rifles, 200 light and heavy machine guns and 2 million rounds of ammunition. ”

"Throne, this must not be done! Equipment must never be given to them. Liu Cheng hurriedly dissuaded.

"Why?" Zhang Mingyu asked puzzled.

"Junzuo, don't you know, I have heard a lot during my trip to Yinchuan, and overheard the conversation of the Ma Jiajun soldiers themselves, they said that the Ma Jiajun now has at least 100,000 soldiers and horses, and I observed that the equipment of the Ma Jiajun stationed in Yinchuan is all German and Soviet-style equipment, and he Ma Hongkui took the weapons and equipment we gave them, and in just three years, he wantonly recruited troops and horses in Ninggan, Shaanxi, and other places, and frantically expanded the troops, we really can't give them weapons and equipment anymore, otherwise it will become a big disaster in the future." Liu Cheng explained.

"100,000 horses?" Zhang Mingyu was stunned and said: "I really didn't expect that this old guy would have so many soldiers and horses, if it were a few years later, this guy would become a veritable king of the Northwest, not to mention Zhang Mingyu at that time, even Chairman Jiang who was far away in Yucheng might not be able to sanction him, if he resisted, it would be good, in case he fell to himself, it would be a disaster for China." Although in the original history, Ma Hongkui did not accept the pull of Yue himself, and he also went out to Suiyuan to resist, but the current history has been greatly changed by Zhang Mingyu, and what happens in the future cannot develop according to the original history.

And Zhang Mingyu's prophetic foresight will no longer be effective, and his future path will be even more difficult.

"Yes, 100,000 horses, they're almost on par with us." Liu Cheng nodded.

"However, he is well-equipped, and without our ammunition supply, those German and Soviet-style equipment are also burning sticks in their hands." Zhang Mingyu said coldly.

At this time, Zhang Mingyu's good intentions at the beginning were reflected, when the military industry was built, the reason why he chose German-style and Soviet-style equipment, and did not choose to produce domestic equipment such as formal Hanyang-made, among which German-style and Soviet-style are superior to domestic equipment in terms of power, and these equipment produced by Zhang Mingyu's arsenal, even if they are seized by others, there is no complete set of production lines, and they will become burning sticks in their hands.

Not to mention Ma Hongkui, even if he has captured the equipment of the Reading Army, he may not be able to use it, because the caliber of the little devil's gun is very different from the Soviet-style and German-style, and if you want to produce German-style equipment, you need to transform the production line.

Therefore, a warlord like Ma Hongkui, who does not have an arsenal, once he buys Zhang Mingyu's equipment, it is no different from getting on a thief ship, just like now, Ma Jiajun and Reading Li Army have broken up, I believe that it will not be long before Ma Jiajun will scold his mother because of the lack of ammunition.

"Will they set up their own arsenal and produce their own?" Liu Cheng asked suspiciously.

"Hmph, just rely on him Ma Hongkui? Building an arsenal is not that simple. Zhang Mingyu snorted coldly and said: "Chief of Staff, just watch, it won't be long before he Ma Hongkui has to come over and ask me to buy our ammunition." ”

"Which military seat, should we give this batch of weapons and ammunition back? The people of the 35th Division are waiting outside. Liu Masheng asked.

"Tell him, just say that the guns and ammunition are all in Taiyuan, and they can't be raised in a short time, and I'll send someone to send them in a while." Zhang Mingyu raised his hand.

"Okay!" Liu Masheng happily took the order and left, seeing Liu Masheng leave, Liu Cheng asked, "Do we really have to equip them?" ”

"Huh! Chief of Staff, I don't know, have you ever heard a phrase. Zhang Mingyu smiled slightly.

"What?" Liu Cheng asked.

"It's not bad to die." After Zhang Mingyu said these four words, he raised his head and laughed.

"Haha!" Liu Cheng also laughed.

Three days later, Yinchuan.

"What? What did you say? Guns and ammunition are far away in Taiyuan? Ma Hongkui asked angrily.

Ma Dianbang said stumblingly: "The people who read the army replied to me like this, they said that the guns and ammunition could not be raised for a while, and said that Zhang Mingyu would personally send someone to send them." ”

"Fart! You got kicked in the head by a donkey? You can't even hear this kind of perfunctory words! Ma Hongkui scolded with hatred that iron does not become steel.

Ma Dianbang muttered: "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, what can I do when Lao Tzu was under someone's gun?" ”

Here, Ma Hongbin saw the opportunity to persuade: "Commander, at that time, Master Ma and the brothers were surrounded by the Reading Army, and this matter cannot be regarded as Master Ma's fault. ”

"Hey! This time he was put on the spot by Zhang Mingyu again, his red mouth and white teeth never counted, he was even more fucking cunning than himself. Ma Hongkui scolded angrily.

…………… Half a month later, all the factories and equipment in the base area of the Reading Force had been moved from Ningxia to Taiyuan, and most of them had already arrived in Taiyuan, and only a few who set off later were still on their way to Taiyuan.

In order to cooperate with this transportation, Zhang Mingyu used almost all the trucks and carriages and ox carts that could be borrowed, and there were also people from all over the country who rushed to help, of course, Zhang Mingyu would not let these people work in vain, each person could eat three full meals a day, and after completion, each person would have two oceans.

After seeing the last group of transport teams leave, Zhang Mingyu also began to order the troops to withdraw to Ordos, two infantry regiments plus the guard battalion, and the huge team of tank regiments formed a long line and drove towards Ordos.

Three days later, Ordos.

More than 9,000 soldiers from several militia brigades and the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division had already gathered outside the east gate of Ordos.

More than 9,000 people lined up in four huge phalanxes, and these four phalanxes formed an even larger phalanx. In front of the phalanx, Zhang Mingyu, Liu Cheng, Liu Masheng and others stood on a cement platform.

Zhang Mingyu glanced at the soldiers present, and then opened his throat and shouted, "Brothers! From today onwards, you will be the soldiers of the First Brigade of the Provisional Formation of our Reading Army, and from today onwards you will be a regular army, and your task is to defend Ordos and every inch of our Chinese territory. ”

The veterans on the field seemed calm, they were originally regular soldiers, but now they have changed their numbers, and on the contrary, those militias are more excited, they volunteered to come to the Reading Army to be militiamen, but since they have seen the heroic and upright military appearance of the regular army and the glory loved by the people, they have always wanted to be a regular army.

Every recruit fantasizes about putting on a neat and mighty military uniform, holding a brand-new steel gun, and looking majestic.

At this time, Liu Cheng began to speak, which was nothing more than talking about some discipline and military regulations that the soldiers of the Reading Force should abide by. Of course, these words will be said to those recruits who have just become regulars, and those veterans are already familiar with these rules.
