Chapter 297: Xinjiang 2
"Idiot, if Dihua is really that easy to fight, I will let you rush to Dihua City so easily?"
Ma Bufang smiled coldly when he received Ma Zhongying's frustration under Dihua City, and several subordinates next to him looked at their leader with some admiration, except for the powerful 15th Route Army, Ma Bufang had not suffered much defeat in the northwest. When I heard that Ma Zhongying took the first step and left them far behind, Ma Bufang's several foot generals were greatly disappointed. Unexpectedly, all this was expected by their leader. Even if it is not as good as the 15th Route Army, but with such a leader, the world is so big, where can you go? After all, there is only one 15th Route Army in the world, Ma Lin father and son, Ma Buqing died one after another, and Ma Hongbin was defeated and took Luoyang. And the only one who can retreat from Jiang Li's subordinates is Ma Bufang.
The fact is not what these people think, at first Ma Bufang heard that Ma Zhongying rushed to Dihua and was also angry, but he never showed his impatience in front of his subordinates. Now after receiving the news that the other party was blocked, he put an afterthought. And the effect of this afterthought is not bad. It's just that Ma Bufang is worried that most of Sheng Shicai's troops have been contained by him, and he can still make Dihua as stable as Mount Tai, it seems that this trip to Xinjiang may not be as easy as expected, and Jiang Li, who has already swept most of the northwest in the east, is not known what his attitude is now. Having personally experienced the combat power of the 15th Route Army, Ma Bufang still has palpitations.
"In Xia Sheng Shiqing, I have seen Commander Ma and Commander Li!" On a remote Gobi on the border between the Soviet Union and Xinjiang. A middle-aged man in a thick black jacket walked towards Ma Zhanshan, who had been in the dust all the way. Li Du and the two bowed. On the edge of an old yurt, a thin black horse snorts. At this time, the pass has already entered late spring, and there is still some unmelted snow at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the morning is even more cold.
"Master Sheng sent you over, I don't know what to see." Li Du put his hands in his sleeves, a dogskin hat on his head, and a trace of green smoke from the pipe in his mouth from time to time, looking like a dealer more than a general who has been in command for many years. said lukewarmly to Sheng Shiqing
"Although I am in the northwest of the border with my brother. I often heard about the heroic deeds of the two commanders who fought against the Japanese invaders in the northeast. This time, the two commanders led their troops to the west, and the brother should have personally greeted him, but the remnants of the Ma family army were raging, and the brother was trapped in Dihua, and he had no time to separate, so he was specially sent down to meet the anti-Japanese heroes. Sheng Shiqing didn't even dare to say it, and said politely. Your ministry came from afar, presumably the supply consumption is not small, and people in Xia Special brought a batch of grain and meat to labor the army. ”
"In this way, I thank Master Sheng for his kindness." Ma Zhanshan nodded. In Changchun, Harbin. After several battles with the Japanese, the anti-Japanese coalition forces were defeated and were forced to retreat into the Soviet Union, and under the care of the Soviets, they were able to come from the Far East to the periphery of Xinjiang, but the Soviets were not generous, and a lot of resources were wasted in the extermination of the kulaks and the collectivization movement, and there was a famine all over the country, and people were starving to death everywhere. The supplies provided to Ma Zhanshan and Li Du were very limited, and they were also on the most inferior train wagons. It's a really uncomfortable taste. Rao is Ma Zhanshan has practiced martial arts for many years, and his body is tough, and he is a little unbearable. Since Sheng Shicai sent his clan brother to send supplies, there was naturally no reason not to accept it.
"To tell the truth, my brother also wants to ask the two commanders to send troops to praise one or two, Ma Bufang and Ma Zhongying have contacted the king of Hami with the intention of rebelling, dividing land in Xinjiang and ruling in a vain attempt to split Xinjiang from the territory of the Republic of China. Sheng Shiqing looked at Ma Zhanshan expectantly and said.
"Our army has traveled thousands of miles, and the soldiers who have been tired for a long time may not be of much help for the time being." Li Du directly shook his head and refused.
"Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths. We have received the benefits of Sheng Shicai, but we want to fight Sheng Shicai in turn, and I really feel a little sorry in my heart. Looking at the back of Sheng Shiqing leaving, Ma Zhanshan shrugged his shoulders.
"Sheng Shicai is also a two-faced figure, otherwise he would not have hollowed out Jin Shuren and controlled the current military and political power in Xinjiang. If you talk to him now, I am afraid that you will not know it in the end. ”
A man with glasses and a woolen coat slipped into the corner of the tent and laughed. Historically, the Northeast Volunteers who retreated to the Soviet Union entered Xinjiang with the help of the Soviet Union. At that time, Sheng Shicai was wantonly eliminating dissidents in Xinjiang, and the sinister Sheng Shicai was enthusiastic on the surface and seemed to be extremely welcoming to the Northeast Army when the relatively strong and well-equipped Northeast Volunteer Army entered Xinjiang. In fact, in the later battles, a part of the Northeast Army participated in the war, but in the secret stumbling, the volunteers suffered heavy losses, and after the strength of the Northeast Volunteers was greatly damaged, Sheng Shicai tore off the hypocritical face. Blatantly attacked the Northeast Volunteers, and tried their best to build Xinjiang into its own independent kingdom. The Northeast Volunteer Army finally failed to fight Sheng Shicai, and the blood feud between the two sides was concluded, and the old part of the dismantled Volunteer Army held a grudge against Sheng Shicai, and secretly assassinated one after another, so that Sheng Shicai was always deep and simple, so as not to be surprised. The remnants of the volunteers, who had borne a deep hatred of blood, were unable to assassinate the well-defended Sheng Shicai, so they sent their anger to his father-in-law, and bloodied Sheng Shicai's father-in-law's family. It's just that the righteous lord has been at large.
"What Mr. Hu said is that 14,500 of our volunteers entered Xinjiang, which is nearly twice as many as Sheng Shicai's descendants, Sheng Shicai is now suffering from enemies on both sides, as long as his brain is not burned out, where will he show us his face." Ma Zhanshan also smiled when he heard this, and said to Mr. Hu, "Originally, I thought that the commander would send a capable general into Xinjiang, but I didn't expect him to go out in person." Where is the Commander's striker? ”
"I've already entered Xinjiang, and I don't know exactly where it is, but if there is an important situation, there will be a telegram. The commander said that both of them are anti-Japanese fathers, with the same origin as the 15th Route Army, and they have the relationship of the Fengtian War of Resistance, and Xinjiang is also under the control of the 15th Route Army. Mr. Hu said.
"I know very well what the commander is, and I know if you don't say this. It's that the style of the clothes on your body is really good, it looks thick and warm, where did you get it? Li Du is not worried about his future, the clothes on his body are worn out and patched, but he thinks that the tweed coat on Mr. Hu's body looks good and is warm.
Speaking of which, it is also the credit of the commander, who moved a large number of machinery from Mukden into Gansu, and later purchased some woolen equipment from Britain and the United States and introduced technicians. Now the garment factory in Yinchuan, Lanzhou can produce more than 100,000 sets of such clothes a year. Mr. Hu smiled, "I followed the commander all the way to Gansu, although Gansu is a little poorer, but the current potential is no worse than Fengtian." If you really want to talk about industry, it is no longer under the original Fengtian. ”
"Yes, hearing you say this, I really want to go to Gansu to take a look." Ma Zhanshan and Li Du showed some yearning looks at the same time, the volunteer army led by the two of them was one of the original anti-Japanese army, and Jiang Li led the main force. During this period of resistance against Japan, the two also heard about Jiang Li's achievements in the northwest from time to time. I can't wait to come and see it with my own eyes.
"This is easy, defeat the remnants of the Ma family's army, sweep away the dissident forces in Xinjiang, and the two commanders can go to Gan Peel at any time to see for themselves." (To be continued.) )
