On February 4, the city of Datong was completely under martial law, and the field troops were dispatched to clean up the surrounding mountains and forests to prevent the Japanese special forces from sneaking up on Zhukov and others' convoys, and to prevent Japanese snipers from sniping Zhukov.

At the same time, all the air units of the Suicha Military Region were canceled from vacation, and all pilots were ready to take off at any time to meet the enemy, and fighter planes were dispatched to patrol the border between Ma Zheng's headquarters and the Japanese army, so as to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese army and air units.

Ma Zheng, Political Commissar Luo, and Xu Yinghui, chief of staff of the Suicha Military Region, attended the banquet together, and the high-level reception made Zhukov and the cadres from Yan'an who came with them very satisfied.

Ma Zheng knew that Zhukov's visit to China was mainly aimed at him, so he probably wouldn't get to the point so quickly. Sure enough, after being full of wine and food, Zhukov proposed to visit Ma Zheng's territory, hoping that Ma Zheng could send him a guide.

Although Ma Zheng wanted to refuse, considering his current status, he finally agreed to Zhukov's request.

However, in order to keep it secret, Ma Zheng deliberately transferred the thoughtful Xu Yinghui and asked him to accompany Zhukov to visit the Suicha Military Region, and also sent a special operations squadron to protect Zhukov in case of accidents.

The purpose of Zhukov's visit to China was to penicillin, but what was more important was to examine the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army and establish closer relations with the Chinese side, hoping that when Japan launched an attack on the Soviet Far East, he could contain the Japanese troops in Central China and, if possible, launch a direct attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army.

In fact, Zhukov had already arrived in Baotou a few days ago, but in order to better inspect the Suicha Military Region, he walked very slowly along the way.

After observing along the way, it became clear to Zhukov that the two poor border provinces of Chahar and Suiyuan in northern China seemed to be very different from the rest of China, not only in terms of military affairs, but also in the humanistic spirit of the whole region.

In southern China, both generals and soldiers are confused about the prospects of the war of resistance, especially in Chongqing, where there is a strong smell of panic throughout the city.

But there is no such feeling here, the soldiers and civilians here do not seem to worry about the strong Japanese army affecting their lives, the resoluteness and strength on the faces of the soldiers are touching, and the generals and colonels are very confident, as if they can destroy the arrogant enemy with a single hand. And this self-confidence did not make Zhukov feel that they were proud and arrogant, but felt that it seemed normal.

Accompanied by Xu Yinghui and others, Zhukov visited the Baotou Heavy Industrial Zone and Guisui Prefecture, and then visited several major military sub-districts of the Suicha Military Region and some units directly under the Military Region.

Zhu kov was terrified by the powerful lineup of Ma Zheng's troops, this army belonging to Yan'an was far stronger than the legend said, and far more powerful than they imagined. In particular, during the tour, Zhukov saw a large number of new equipment, including a light shoulder-fired gun that could easily destroy tanks.

Zhukov was most impressed by the special combat team of the Suicha Military Region, mainly during a visit to Shangyi, Zhukov and his party were suddenly attacked by Japanese agents, at that time Zhukov had less than 30 Chinese guards around him, but the enemy had more than 40 people, and they were well-equipped and well-trained.

Perhaps the Japanese side had already received the news, so the Japanese agents had already taken control of the food factory to which Zhukov was going and planted bombs in the factory.

In this unfavorable situation, the thirty or so guards quickly counterattacked when they were suddenly attacked. One team urgently escorted Zhukov off the battlefield, while the other team quickly formulated a counterattack plan and quickly and effectively annihilated more than 40 Japanese agents in the food factory.

What struck Zhukov the most incredible thing was that in the last less than a minute, these Chinese guards actually defused the bombs planted by the Japanese. It not only protects the safety of the entourage, but also cleanly eliminates the enemy. Such an excellent combat squad Zhukov was seen only in Comrade Stalin's Guards.

At the end of the seven-day visit, Zhukov and the others returned to Datong and asked to meet with Ma Zheng again.

However, this request was rejected by Ma Zheng on the basis of busy official business, after a few days of observation, Ma Zheng has seen that Zhukov and others should not be looking for trouble, but more like they came to investigate, considering the current situation of the Soviet Union, Ma Zheng believes that the ultimate goal of Zhukov and others should be to form an alliance.

Now that he saw the reality of his opponent, Ma Zheng was not in a hurry. He liked to hear about the alliance, but he had to find a time in his favor and put himself in a good position in the negotiations.

Under his arrangement, Ma Desheng has already taken up his post in Suidong, and Huang Haitao's department has already made trouble in the northeast. It's just that the momentum is not big now, and the Soviet Union has not noticed them, and when Huang Haitao's department and the Anti-Japanese Federation reach a tacit understanding, there will inevitably be new changes in the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the Northeast, and the Soviets will be able to see the value of the Eighth Route Army at that time.

Ma Zheng politely refused Zhukov's request to meet, for good reasons, and at the same time Ma Zheng asked Xu Yinghui to tell Zhukov that he would be busy in a few days, and it would not be too late to talk about it then.

Zhukov also had a certain understanding of Ma Zheng during this time, and knew that the Chinese general was indeed very busy, although Zhukov did not believe that Ma Zheng could not even spare time to talk with him for a while, but after learning about the strength of the Suicha Military Region, Zhukov felt that if he could form an alliance with Ma Zheng's department, it would definitely be a big boost to the great Soviet Union, and it would be worth waiting for this powerful ally.

During this period, Ma Zheng sent a telegram to the Suidong Military Division, ordering Ma Desheng's headquarters to have a good time in the northeast region, firstly, to combat the arrogance of the Japanese army, and secondly, to let the Soviet side take a look at their energy.

After receiving the telegram from the headquarters of the military region, Ma Desheng immediately convened a military meeting to discuss the combat plan.

Soon a battle plan for Shuangliao City was formulated, and then under the operation of the Suidong Army Division, about 20,000 troops quietly assembled on the periphery of Shuangliao City, and at the same time, the Thor Special Operations Brigade also urgently went to the Shuangliao area to help the Suidong Army Division.

Two days later, Ma Desheng's headquarters suddenly launched an attack on Shuangliao City, and with the cooperation of the special combat team, the army captured Shuangliao City within six hours, wiped out more than 4,000 defenders, captured 1,100 puppet soldiers, and achieved a great victory in Shuangliao.

After the capture of Shuangliao City, Ma Desheng's troops snatched all the materials in the city and transported them, and then blew up all the fortifications in the city with explosives, and then evacuated Shuangliao with a large army.

Although the battle lasted less than a day, the impact was extremely far-reaching, causing a huge shock in the entire northeast region.

You must know that this is the first time since the September 18 Incident in 31 that the Chinese have recovered the important city garrisoned by the Kwantung Army. Although Ma Desheng's department only spent less than eight hours in the city, the significance was extraordinary, which was equivalent to announcing to the people of the entire northeast region that the Chinese had fought back.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhukov and others here, the top brass of the Suicha Military Region might not have cared about such a level of good news, and in most cases, it would have only been disseminated throughout the army, and would not have been publicized on a large scale in the entire military region.

But because of the existence of Zhukov and others, Ma Zheng naturally had to let them know the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and even Ma Zheng deliberately fought for them in this battle.

Under the vigorous propaganda of the Suicha Military Region, Zhukov and others inevitably learned about this incident. Zhukov and others were shocked to learn that a newly formed military subdivision under Ma Zheng's headquarters had broken through a major city garrisoned by the Japanese army and wiped out more than 4,000 defenders in just one day, and hurriedly sent agents from the Far East to verify the matter.
