After receiving the telegram from Ma Desheng, he immediately ordered all the troops on the front line to immediately stop retreating, and ordered Yang Chengwu to immediately go south to Tianjin and take over the command of the front line. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the same time, Ma Zheng sent a telegram to Yan'an, asking the central government and the Nationalist Government to negotiate on the condition that the political prisoners be released, and a clear answer would be given as soon as possible whether they would be released or not. If you don't let people go, you can't default on the establishment and equipment of the three A divisions, otherwise let the little devils occupy Tianjin.

After doing this, Ma Zheng asked the Eighth Route Army in Shandong to act immediately to make trouble for the North China Front, so as not to trouble the idle Okamura Ningji.

Ma Zheng's order to Yun Jian was to contain the Japanese army at all costs, and under no circumstances could the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army be able to flank the Eighth Route Army from the north and south.

Ma Zheng then departed from Tianjin and took a special plane to Chengde.

At Tianjin Airport, Huang Liren, who received the order, was already waiting for Ma Zheng and his party at the airport, because the task to Chengde was not only urgent, but also extremely important, so Huang Liren decided to personally fly the fighter plane to escort Ma Zheng.

Due to the limited number of fighters and transport planes captured by the military region, and the fighters ordered by Huaxia from the American side have now just arrived in Hawaii, the transport capacity is limited. Therefore, Soma Zheng only brought a 60-member special operations team north to Chengde this time, and the rest of the guard troops rushed to Chengde by land under the command of Xu Yinghui.

Chengde Airport was just rebuilt at the beginning of this year, before the Japanese army built the airport in Chengde, but unfortunately there was almost no big war here, so Chengde Airport is almost useless and dilapidated.

After the Corps formed an aviation team, Ma Zheng asked Liu Fengchi, then the commander of the military division, to start repairing this airport, but he didn't expect this small military airport to come in handy so quickly.

On July 17, under the protection of 12 Type 96 fighters, Ma Zheng landed at Chengde Airport with a special operations team.

Because the airport in Chengde was built extremely hidden, except for the infantry battalion stationed at the airport, few people knew that Chengde also had an airport, so the news that Ma Zheng left Tianjin for Chengde was not spread.

Chengde. Rehe Military District Command. Operational command room.

In front of the huge military map, Ma Zheng and a staff officer of the Rehe Military Region were listening to Ma Desheng's report on the battle situation.

"Commander, two cavalry brigades and two puppet cavalry divisions of the Japanese army, a total of more than 17,000 people, are killing Chifeng garrisoned by our military region, and now their strikers have reached Fuhe and Kundu!"

Ma Zheng frowned and asked, "Old Ma, are you sure that the Japanese army only came with two cavalry brigades and two puppet cavalry divisions this time, and there are no other troops?" ”

Ma Desheng thought about it carefully and said: "No, according to the report that I arranged the ranger on the grassland, the number of Japanese troops this time is not large, and they have all fought with us before, and their numbers are very recognizable, and they will not be mistaken." ”

"This is not right, some time ago, our intelligence officers reported that the Japanese army concentrated a total of 13 cavalry wings from Hulunbuir and Qiqihar to the south, and then transferred 3 puppet cavalry divisions and two Mongolian cavalry divisions from the national defense force of the puppet Manchukuo to the south, with a total strength of about 65,000 people. And now there are less than 20,000 people who have come to attack us, this is not the style of the Japanese army, where are the rest of their troops? I think there must be a conspiracy in this. Ma Zheng said with a frown.

Ma Zheng is a veteran soldier, and he looks more carefully than ordinary people, plus he is the commander of the corps, and the intelligence aspect is naturally not comparable to Ma Desheng, so he can see the key to the problem at a glance.

Ma Desheng thought for a while and said: "It's really weird, but the little devil now controls almost the entire Horqin grassland, and Lianliao is also controlled by the little devil, I think the little devil may have to stay in the eastern grassland to guard some troops." ”

Ma Zheng said: "Even if you want to stay behind, you won't leave forty or fifty thousand people, I don't think the enemy will have only such a force as Zalut on the eighth floor, you quickly send all the rangers in your hands out to investigate, and you must not let the little devils take advantage of our loopholes." ”

"Yes, I'll do it later, what should the Japanese army do on this road in Zarut?"

"What can I do, what can I do since people have already put a bayonet against our necks, beat, beat him hard!"

Then Ma Zheng asked again: "How many troops does your military region have now, and where are they distributed?" ”

Ma Desheng said: "Commander, our military region has a total of 5 infantry divisions and four brigades of technical arms, with a total strength of about 110,000 troops, and there are also cavalry divisions under the direct jurisdiction of the corps headquarters are also temporarily under our command, but all units are relatively scattered, and the 8th division and cavalry division are reorganized after the Chifeng direction. ”

"What about Huang Haitao's department, is there any news about them?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"Yes, two days ago, Huang Haitao sent a telegram to the headquarters of the military region, saying that they had taken a farm of the Japanese army in Changling, killed and wounded more than 200 Japanese soldiers, and captured at least half a year's worth of grain and a lot of war horses!" Ma Desheng replied.

"Long Ridge?"

Then Ma Zheng looked for it on the map, then frowned and said, "Changling is too far away, it seems that they can't count on it." The next battle will all depend on you, there is a huge difference between the enemy and our forces, this battle is not easy to fight, you must be mentally prepared. ”

Ma Desheng said with a smile: "Although the Japanese army has 20,000 people, we are not vegetarians, so there should not be much problem in dealing with them." ”

"It's good to have confidence, but the cavalry duel is not as gentle as the infantry, once the two sides enter the battle state, it will be a never-ending battle, and the casualties will definitely be indispensable, and there is no trick at all, so this battle is completely hard-fought and dead." Ma Zheng said.

Ma Desheng nodded and said: "I am not afraid of hard fighting, most of our soldiers have more than two years of military experience, and they are no worse than the Japanese army in terms of combat quality." However, the Japanese army is likely to have aircraft and tanks to help in the battle, and the future of the cavalry and aircraft duel is worrying. ”

"Well, that's really worth noting, but as long as we besiege the Japanese cavalry with absolute superiority, I don't think the Japanese planes and tanks will be of much use. In addition, we are not without any advantages, didn't the headquarters just equip you with three regiments of assault rifles, and these regiments have also joined the battle, and we will definitely achieve great results when the time comes. Ma Zheng said.

"Commander, the assault rifles have been dispersed by me to the two integrated divisions below, and now there is only one reinforced battalion in the headquarters of the military district, and it will not be able to assemble at all for a while and a half. However, I will try to minimize the casualties of the troops, and now the little devils obviously have a conspiracy, and we have to guard against it. ”

"What are you going to do?" Ma Zheng said.

"The commander didn't judge that the Japanese army might have strange soldiers, if that's the case, those bitches must want to bypass the main assembly point of our army, and then go straight to Chifeng or Chengde, so I want to let go of the old devil Tanaka Kujiro first, and directly solve the other army of the Japanese army, what do you think, commander?" Ma Desheng put forward such an idea.

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said: "You are an expert in cavalry combat, whether you are fighting on the march or doing other things, the most taboo thing is that the layman commands the insider, so I won't interfere in the specific combat command, so you can do the next thing yourself!" ”

Then Ma Zheng said: "By the way, if you need my support, you can speak, and I will let the entire corps cooperate with you to fight." Remember, after this battle was fought, the Kwantung Army of the little devils completely lost the ability to march into the eastern grasslands, while our army could attack the northeast and retreat to defend Chahar, and formed a flanking situation with the troops of the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei. Coupled with the threat of the Soviet Red Army in the Northeast, I don't think the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army dare to move at will. ”

Hearing this, Ma Desheng laughed, and then said: "It's still the commander who can see far, then I might as well be respectful and obey my fate!" ”

"Don't talk about this, this battle is related to the safety of Rehe and the eastern steppe region, so there is no need to show mercy to his subordinates, no matter what the Mongolian prince or the little devil or the second devil, as long as it is our enemy, we must eradicate it at all costs. Your task is heavy, so don't disgrace our corps. ”

"Commander, don't worry, if you want to say that I Ma Desheng is really bad in positional warfare, but if you stand on horseback, Lao Tzu is the sky!" Ma Desheng said confidently.
