When He Zhengdao secretly arrived in the territory of Fertile Field, the territory of Pingluo, which was adjacent to Fertile Field, also seemed a little unstable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The cavalry division of the Ningxia Majia Army, which is stationed here, is also preparing for the winter raids.

Although the officers and men of the cavalry division knew that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was not easy to provoke. But they also know that as long as they are careful and don't let the other party catch the handle, they will have no problem making some small moves.

Most importantly, they all felt that the people of Woye City were richer than the people in Pingluo. This also means that as long as they operate it properly, the cavalry units that go out to carry out camouflage operations can gain a lot.

Staying in a place like Ningxia, they are naturally familiar with the fact that in the early years, nomads would cross the border every winter to carry out the so-called 'grass valley' operation. And this time, they also picked up this tradition in the hope of personal gain.

It's just that if you want to enter the fertile field to commit robbery, you naturally have to go through some secret preparation and reconnaissance. They all knew that the combat effectiveness of the garrison of the Eighth Route Army, which was guarding the fertile field, should not be underestimated.

Perhaps in the opinion of many, snow in winter is not suitable for cavalry troops. However, in the eyes of the commanders of the cavalry division, it was inconvenient for them to enter the fertile field, and it would also be inconvenient for the troops of the Eighth Route Army guarding the fertile field to mobilize heavy troops.

After all, even the garrison regiments that guarded the fertile fields were also mostly cavalry. But in snowy weather, it is still more difficult for the cavalry to quickly reinforce a place. This means that they have plenty of time to transfer.

As long as the location of the robbery is planned in advance and the corresponding retreat route is prepared, they all feel that this kind of winter operation will become very safe. The most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army has nothing to do about it.

With the end of the reconnaissance before the operation, the cavalry division stationed in Pingluo also sent a telegram to Ma Hongkui asking for instructions. Although this kind of thing is not allowed to be known to too many people. But when the cavalry division goes out to operate, it still needs to be asked for instructions.

Even the commanders of the cavalry divisions knew that such actions were allowed by their commanders. But before sending troops, they naturally had to inform and ask for instructions. In this way, even if something happens, Ma Hongkui will not sit idly by.

After receiving a telegram from the Pingluo Cavalry Division, Ma Hongkui, as the actual ruler of Ningxia, said with some hesitation: "At this time, is it not appropriate for us to continue the winter operation?" I heard that the guy surnamed He went back to Yulin? ”

The name of the man, the shadow of the tree!

For the troops of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Gansu and other places, Ma Hongkui can be said to be not very afraid. But for the troops under He Zhengdao, Ma Hongkui still seemed more or less afraid. He knew that He Zhengdao was not easy to provoke.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was able to win so many great battles for the Eighth Route Army in the southern and northern wars, in addition to the strong troops under He Zhengdao, He Zhengdao's ability to use troops is undoubtedly very good.

Most of the protest telegrams sent to Ningxia earlier were from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army or Yan'an. However, He Zhengdao, who returned to administration of Yulin this year, sent him a telegram in the name of the person in charge of the Yulin border district government.

The content of the telegram was also very simple, that is, he hoped that Ma Hongkui would restrain the troops in the border area with the Eighth Route Army and not make time that would damage the friendship between the two armies. At the same time, it is hoped that the two armies can work together to combat the horse bandits in the buffer zone.

Regarding the telegram sent by He Zhengdao, Ma Hongkui was still very polite. Even if Ningxia is far away from the anti-Japanese battlefield, Ma Hongkui has always been concerned about the situation of the anti-Japanese war, and he knows that He Zhengdao is in full force at this time.

At this time, if you continue to enter the country to attack and harass the battle, you will make trouble for the Eighth Route Army. Ma Hongkui was a little worried that such a move would not arouse He Zhengdao's wrath.

After all, the people in the Yulin border area all know that He Zhengdao still pities the lives of the people. For people or armed forces who ignore the life and death of the people, He Zhengdao's rule is to kill nothing. Because of this, no one dares to touch the mold in this matter.

The master, who usually advises Ma Hongkui, also knows that the king of Ningxia is a little afraid of He Zhengdao's prestige. But this master also understands that this kind of action is still very eager for the troops below.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Commander, I think as long as you are careful in this matter, there will be no problems." What's more, if we don't make a little statement, Chongqing is afraid that it will not be able to explain, and it will be difficult to ask for money at that time!

Moreover, the Pingluo Cavalry Division had also done detailed reconnaissance before carrying out its mission, and I believe that they should have a foolproof plan. If the commander is not at ease, it is better to let those guys in Crouching Tiger Ridge come forward first and test the reaction of the Eighth Road.

If the Eighth Route Army had been prepared, then our men would not have to be dispatched. If you can, you can even help the Eighth Road clean up those horse bandits at that time. After all, in the past year or so, they must have made a lot of floating money! ”

Listening to this master's suggestion, Ma Hongkui felt that the other party's idea was very insidious. But he also knew that those horse bandits were a bunch of dogs he raised, to put it bluntly. If you don't want it, kill it!

Since he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the limelight this year, it was also a very appropriate thing to let these horse bandits who usually offered him a vanguard. As long as he is not caught by the Eighth Route Army, I believe that the Eighth Route Army will not dare to do anything to him.

In any case, he was also appointed by the National Government as the chairman of a province plus a national general. In addition, he also served as the deputy commander of a theater of operations and the commander-in-chief of a group army.

As a veteran warlord of the Republic of China, he Ma Hongkui still enjoys a certain prestige and reputation in the Republic of China and the northwest. If the Eighth Route Army really wants to move him, it must also consider whether it can bear the charge of provoking a civil war.

Most importantly, in order to deal with the threat of the Eighth Route Army, he had reached a joint defense agreement with the Ma Jiajun, who controlled Gansu and Qinghai. If the Eighth Route Army dared to attack their territory, the two would join forces to fight and protect themselves.

This also means that if the Eighth Route Army wants to take down the Ma Jiajun under his command, it must not be an easy thing!

Ma Hongkui, who thought about these things clearly, finally nodded and said, "Okay!" Then do what you said, and warn those who travel not to rush in. I'd rather not get a harvest, and remember not to be caught by the eight roads.

Now that the Eighth Route Army is in full swing, we should not fight against it. This year, they have been out of the limelight, presumably next year should not be too easy, we all know the virtue of the little devils, they will definitely launch a large-scale counterattack next year.

When the time comes, we will march into Yulin. In the past few years, the money that the Eighth Road has exploited from us will be snatched back no matter what. At that time, we will not be confined to this province! ”

As a veteran warlord in the northwest, Ma Hongkui, like many warlords, always wants to expand his territory and expand his troops. For Yulin, a treasure of feng shui, Ma Hongkui has been greedy for a long time.

With Ma Hongkui's permission, the cavalry division stationed in Pingluo soon sent a group of liaison personnel to Wohu Mountain to carry out contact. The horse bandits, who had also stayed in Wowo Mountain to rest for a long time, also knew that their good days were finally coming.

Although there are also horse bandits in Wohu Mountain in peacetime, they don't pay much attention to the cavalry division of the Ningxia Majia Army stationed in Pingluo. But for these undisciplined horse bandits, the cavalry division stationed in Pingluo will naturally go all out to suppress and suppress them.

It can be said that Wohu Mountain will become a bandit place where horse bandits gather today, which is also intentionally created by the Pingluo Cavalry Division. With the presence of these horse bandits, the people in Pingluo will support the stationing of their cavalry divisions.

This kind of self-respecting behavior of raising bandits is naturally also a trick often played by warlords!

But for the horse bandits gathered in Wohu Mountain, even if they are a group of people who play with their lives, they know that it is difficult to survive without backing in these years. Therefore, they were also willing to do some shady things with the cavalry division.

When the liaison officer accompanying the cavalry division tells them that they can carry out the operation, but they also need to be more careful. The horse bandits, who had been hiding in the mountains for a long time, also began to descend the mountain in groups, preparing to go to the fertile territory to carry out plunder.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, these horse bandits are counting on the harvest of this trip. If they had plundered a lot of things, they would have been able to have a good New Year. After all, for these horse bandits, they also attach great importance to the New Year!

Just when the horse bandit forces began to descend the mountain one after another, attacking the territory of the fertile field. The reconnaissance troops sent to Pingluo earlier also quickly sent a telegram to He Zhengdao, reminding the garrison troops in Woye to strengthen their guards.

At this moment, He Zhengdao, who had arrived at the headquarters of the Second Cavalry Division in Woye, looked at the telegram sent by the front-line reconnaissance unit, and sneered: "It seems that these horse bandits really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they really dare to come to rob again!" ”

Wu Dabiao, the commander of the Woye garrison, who also rushed to the meeting, said with some worry: "Commander, according to the situation we detected earlier, there are now tens of thousands of horse bandits entrenched in Wohu Mountain!"

If they all cross the border at this moment, we are afraid that it will be difficult to do an effective defense with only our garrison regiment. What's more, I think that the horse bandits can attack our base area so intensively, there must be someone behind the command! ”

'Commander Wu, it seems that you, the head of the regiment, are quite dutiful! Wohu Mountain, although it is far away from us, it is also regarded as the defense area of the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia. But for there, hasn't Ningxia Ma Jiajun always said that he can't control it?

Then this time, I will let Ma Hongkui and the people there know how my Eighth Route Army suppressed bandits. This time, not only will I wipe out all these horse bandits, but I will even destroy their lair! ’

Hearing He Zhengdao say this, Batu, the commander of the Second Cavalry Division, immediately said excitedly: "Commander, leave this task to our cavalry division!" ”

'You're gone?' Who will deal with these horse bandits? What's more, the horse bandits in Pingluo City haven't come out of the nest yet! There is no rush in this matter! As for the operation to clear Crouching Tiger Mountain, I have already sent people over in advance, and these horse bandits must all be eliminated! ’

He Zhengdao, who said this with a decisive word, undoubtedly sentenced these horse bandits who went out of the mountains to death. But for the commander of the Fertile Field Garrison, he also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, these horse bandits did cause him a lot of trouble! (To be continued.) )
