[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 161: Tubalu Enters Xi'an (Ask for subscription!) ）

Ma Zheng did not stay in Yan'an for long, and the next day, under the send-off of the chairman and others, Ma Zheng led the troops to continue south, this time to Xi'an, and then take the train south to Wuhan.

As early as yesterday, when Ma Zheng had just arrived in Yan'an, the Yan'an side had negotiated with the Nationalist Government, and the Nationalist Government needed to send a commissioner to meet him in Xi'an and arrange a train to the south. After receiving the telegram from Yan'an, Lao Jiang immediately transferred a major general from the chamberlain's office to Xi'an.

Because of Lao Jiang's order, Ma Zheng marched all the way quickly, and in the border area where Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningbo and Shaanxi Province of the Nationalist Government were handed over, Ma Zheng and others met the greeting personnel of the Shaanxi Provincial Camp of the Nationalist Government.

Ma Zheng's department was greeted by a colonel surnamed Hu, who according to his own introduction, was a graduate of the fifth phase of Huangpu, and now Sun Weiru is serving in the army.

Under the guidance of the colonel surnamed Hu, Ma Zheng and others finally arrived in Xi'an at about 11 o'clock in the morning of July 16.

After arriving in Xi'an, Ma Zheng did not go to the reception banquet held for them by the chairman of Shaanxi Province of the Nationalist Government, but asked the colonel surnamed Liu to inform the major general of the chamberlain who had arrived from Wuhan, Gao Shen, that the troops should set off immediately.

It's not that Ma Zheng looks down on the Shaanxi army that protects the territory and the people, but it's that there is really no need to fight with those Kuomintang bureaucrats haha. There is no other reason, I just don't like it. Moreover, Ma Zheng knew that during the Anti-Japanese War, the biggest task of the garrison in Xi'an was not to fight against the Japanese army, but to guard against the CCP.

Moreover, Ma Zheng was only interested in a few high-ranking officers in the Kuomintang troops, such as Li Zongren, Xue Yue, Chen Cheng and others. Except for the fact that there was no antipathy to this part of the real military strategists, the rest of the high-ranking Kuomintang officials Ma Zheng really did not feel cold. In particular, it can be said that those high-ranking officials such as the provincial chairman and the camp director who are hiding in the rear can be described as deeply hated. In the name of the War of Resistance, these guys bought and sold strong men and forcibly requisitioned grain, but in fact most of the tax revenue went into their own pockets.

For example, Jiang Dingwen, the newly arrived chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Department of the Chinese Kuomintang, and commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Security Command, has a lot of seniority and is within the Kuomintang army. He is not only known as one of the "Five Tiger Generals", but also known as one of He Yingqin's "Four King Kongs", and he is famous as the "Flying General" in the warlord melee.

He graduated from the Zhejiang Army Lecture Hall in his early years, and participated in the crusade against Chen Jiongming, the Northern Expedition, the Jiang Gui War, and the Jiang Fengyan War, the third and fifth "encirclement and suppression" of the Soviet area, and participated in the suppression of the Fujian Incident. At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander-in-chief of the 4th Group Army and defended Fujian, and was recently transferred to Shaanxi to serve as the provincial chairman.

The reason why Ma Zheng is so disgusted with Jiang Dingwen is mainly because Ma Zheng knows that this guy is not a good thing, and this person is in charge of the northwest during the period. Abuse of power to make a fortune in the country. He was well aware of Lao Chiang's policy of "only allowing corruption and not deterioration" towards his subordinates, bending the law for personal gain, being corrupt, and gambling wildly, and becoming a well-known "corrupt general". Jiang Dingwen's private property accumulated through corruption, bribery, and speculation and business is huge.

In addition, this person is also a famous gambler, and it is said that this person Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yun met in Zhengzhou. Juxing gambles. Jiang Dingwen lost three months' salaries of the officers and men of the division overnight. The next day, the quartermaster was paid. Jiang Dingwen was empty-handed, and he was so anxious that he had to bite the bullet and go to see Lao Jiang. Lao Jiang was furious and immediately ordered him to ask Gu Zhu for the same loss. But Gu Tui said that the money had already been distributed to the officers and soldiers as a reward. had no choice but to give Jiang Dingwen a check for 50,000 yuan. Help him through this. For such a guy who is full of poisons, Ma Zheng really doesn't have time or want to have anything to do with him.

However, Ma Zheng's behavior made the major general sent by the Nationalist Government very annoyed, but he did not dare to send it to Ma Zheng and others, as a senior staff member next to Lao Jiang, he knew how the chairman valued this "reinforcement".

Although it was very helpless, Ma Zheng's rudeness. However, the major general Gao Shen still did not dare to slack off, and rushed from the banquet hall to the station to meet Ma Zheng.

After the meeting, the major general Gao Shen pretended to be "enthusiastic" and introduced himself: "Hello Chief Ma, it is rare to see Gao Shen Wang Hongwu in the chamberlain of the contemptible national government, and he came to greet your army on the order of Chairman Chiang!" ”

Ma Zheng also smiled and said, "General Wang is good, contempt Ma Zheng." ”

Wang Hongwu was very surprised by Ma Zheng's youth, when he was in Wuhan, he heard that most of the senior generals in the Eighth Route Army were very young, but he never thought that the famous "God of War" of the Eighth Route Army turned out to be a hairy boy who didn't even have hair on his mouth.

Although he had heard some information about Ma Zheng from Chairman Jiang many times, he never thought that this guy was not at all the kind of young man and old man who had become old and scheming, but like a gangster on the streets of Wuhan, with a bad smile on his face.

Seeing Ma Zheng's appearance as if he was smiling but not smiling, and thinking of the amazing achievements created by this guy in front of him, Wang Hongwu couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart. suddenly raised this Eighth Route Army general who had never met to the height of Wang Yaowu, Luo Zhuoying, Xue Yue and others, in Wang Hongwu's opinion, Ma Zheng is a standard smiling tiger, this evil smile on his face is terrifying, at first glance, he is a master who is good at playing conspiracy, but he can't let him give yin.

After staying by Lao Jiang's side for a long time, Wang Hongwu knew that people such as Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and others were not terrible at all, at least these people would not use intrigues to deal with an insignificant person, in the eyes of those great gods, they were all ants, and they were not worth their yin. But this guy in front of him is different, at first glance, this guy is a conspirator who will absolutely stop at nothing in order to achieve his goal, how can this reassure Wang Hongwu, the major general of the chamberlain?

"There, there, General Ma's name is unknown to everyone who doesn't know, the old devil Liannuma Pan lost his troops in the first battle of Zhangjiakou, and even the heavily guarded Zhangjiakou City was occupied by your troops, and even the old devil Liannuma Pan died in Zhangjiakou, which can really be described as fame and fortune." Wang Hongwu complimented.

Ma Zheng snorted and said, "General Wang, is the train ready?" When can we go? ”

"Right away, now the Xi'an garrison is emptying the Xi'an railway station, and the military train is ready, and it will take another hour at most to wait for the train to go south. But I see that your troops have been in the dust along the way, and they haven't eaten yet, so I see if you should let the soldiers eat some food before leaving, the meal is ready, Commander Ma Zheng, you can see ......." Wang Hongwu replied.

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said: "Okay, people are iron and rice are steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, you let them send the food here, and after eating, we will board the bus directly and rush to Wuhan." ”

"That's okay, let's arrange it!" After speaking, Wang Hongwu is about to leave with his entourage!

Ma Zheng immediately said: "Wait a minute! ”

"Is there anything else that Commander Ma has to do?" Wang Hongwu asked again.

"Wang Gaoshen, by the way, where did we get the ammunition supply of the Seventh Division? We carried a lot of artillery with us when we went south this time, but due to the long distance and the inconvenience of transporting shells, we only brought a few shells, so we urgently needed to replenish them! Ma Zheng said.

"Chief Ma, according to the regulations, you need to go to Wuhan before you can get the approval of the Wuhan Garrison Command to receive ammunition replenishment!" Wang Hongwu replied.

"Alright then!" Ma Zheng said.

I don't know if Jiang Dingwen is angry or what's wrong, anyway, the meal prepared for Ma Zheng's department is not good, coarse noodles and steamed buns and cabbage soup, the taste is as unpalatable as it is. Fortunately, the soldiers have been tired for four or five days, and they don't care about these, fighting is like this, sometimes it is common to go without food for three or five days, and some are good to eat, so they still care about the taste is not delicious.

So more than 7,000 people let go of their stomachs and ate violently, only the security regiment battalion responsible for delivering the food almost tired, and also let those old soldiers see what the real Tubalu is.

After having dinner and resting for a while, Ma Zheng ordered the troops to immediately rush to the Xi'an railway station. It took nearly an hour for Ma Zheng's headquarters to finally finish pedaling, and in the roar of the train, more than 7,000 elites of the Duqi Division officially stepped on the train of the southern expedition.
