Chapter 335: Dividing the Defense Area (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes)

At the same time as the defenders of Baotou surrendered, the Japanese troops attacking on the front line of Xinghe, Tianzhen and Fengzhen also retreated instantly, and then the front line returned to calm again.

The battle is over, but the follow-up troubles have just begun, first of all, the remnants of the enemy in Baotou City and the entire Suixi region still need to be cleared. After all, it is impossible for such a large-scale battle to be carried out without slipping through the net. Those Japanese puppet troops who were either scattered or fled on their own initiative all had guns and ammunition in their hands, and this was a great threat to the common people in the defense area of the Suicha Military Region, and they must be eliminated.

Secondly, after this battle, the Eighth Theater of the Kuomintang, which was originally unconnected, and the defense area of the Suicha Military Region were connected together, and how to divide the defense area still needed to communicate with Fu Yisheng's department, so as to avoid the two divisions from falling into trouble at the time.

In the end, the representative of the Japanese army in charge of negotiations had already passed the peace and was rushing to Guisui, and the negotiations with the Japanese were about to begin, so there were many troubles.

But in any case, it was a good thing for the troops to recover Suixi, and since then, Ma Zheng's territory has expanded to more than 20 banner counties, and the population under its jurisdiction has exceeded 3 million.

Ma Zheng didn't need to worry about purging the remnants of the enemy, there were Ma Desheng, Zhou Lieyang, Xu Hu and others on the front line, and Ma Zheng was very relieved. However, the remaining two matters need to be personally interrogated by Ma Zheng, after all, these are related to the very important interests of the Suicha Military Region.

At a quarter past six o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th, an urgent telegram came from the troops on the front line in Baotou, saying that General Fu Yisheng, deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, had arrived in Wulashan Town and hoped to meet Ma Zheng.

After receiving the telegram from the front, Ma Zheng immediately called back. Let the troops on the front line immediately contact the 35th Army, and he will arrive in Baotou tonight, and set up a banquet in Baotou City at noon tomorrow to entertain General Fu Yisheng. Ma Zheng then took the train to Baotou, where he was going to meet the legendary general.

Who is Fu Yisheng, who can make Ma Zheng value him so much? Fu Yisheng is actually Fu Zuoyi, and there is no need to say much about the life of this general. Those who are familiar with history know that at this time, General Fu had just been appointed deputy commander of the Eighth Theater and commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army of the Second Theater, and his defense areas included the Bayannur League, the Alxa League, Wuhai and other places.

At ten o'clock that night, Ma Zheng arrived at the Nuantan Railway Station in Kundulun District, Baotou, and then arrived at the former Japanese Suixi Garrison Headquarters under the greeting of Ma Desheng and others.

Because the Japanese surrendered after not long in the city, the damage to Baotou City was not very serious, and the garrison headquarters was not injured, so the troops naturally regarded this place as a headquarters after entering the city.

That night, Ma Zheng held a brief meeting with Xu Hu, Xing Chao, Ma Desheng and others here, and arranged the next steps of each unit. The task of the cavalry group was to continue to purge the hostile forces in the territory of Ikezhao, including the stragglers of the Japanese puppet army, the reactionary Mongol princes, and the bandits and horse bandits in the territory. The task of the Independent Brigade is to pacify the security of Baotou and the surrounding areas as quickly as possible. Lay the foundation for the next action of the military district headquarters.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the 11th, under the escort of a cavalry battalion, Fu Yisheng, deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, and Ye Qijie, deputy commander of the 35th Army, arrived at Baotou West.

In fact, Fu Yisheng had concerns about going to Baotou this time, originally according to his battle plan, the siege of Wuyuan and Hailiutu Town, the middle banner of Wulate, only needed to use 101 divisions, and the rest of the troops were to directly attack Baotou City for a long time.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and the new 31st Division suffered a heavy setback in the front banner of Ulate. The Japanese army even dispatched five or six thousand reinforcements at one time, and the new 31st Division lost troops. Heavy casualties and had to withdraw to Xixiaozhao.

It was already three days after they eliminated the enemy in Wuyuan, and then Ma Zheng's troops suddenly attacked, and took Baotou City in just one night, forcing the 35th Army's plan to capture Baotou completely bankrupt.

However, it is impossible for Fu Yisheng not to know about the importance of Baotou, so after learning that Ma Zheng's troops had captured Baotou yesterday, he immediately sent a report to Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second War Zone. Asked the Commander's Department of the Second War Zone to come forward to coordinate and let Ma Zheng's department give up Baotou, after all, Baotou had always been the defense area of his 35th Army before.

However, the reply he got was that he discussed with Ma Zheng that the commander's headquarters did not have this right, and he did not have the ability to make Ma Zheng's department make any concessions. In desperation, Fu Yisheng thought about meeting Ma Zheng. I want to see what this Eighth Route Army general has to say.

After meeting, Fu Yisheng was shocked by Ma Zheng's young words, and it was difficult for him to imagine how a young man like the boy next door commanded his troops to fight the Japanese army crying for his father and mother, and was even advertised by the Japanese as a demon general.

Seeing that Fu Yisheng had been looking at him, Ma Zheng immediately smiled and asked, "Hello Chief Fu, Ma Zheng of the 63rd Army of the Eighteenth Group Army salutes you!" ”

Fu Yisheng knew that he was a little rude just now, and immediately said: "Commander Ma is polite, I was shocked by Commander Ma's youth just now, and I hope you will forgive me for the rudeness." ”

"It's okay"

After a period of greetings, the two sides turned their horses around and hurried to Baotou.

It was already half past eleven o'clock at noon when he returned to Baotou City, and then Ma Zheng invited Fu Yisheng and others to a banquet together. The venue of the banquet is in the former Japanese army Suixi Garrison Headquarters, but the ingredients are very disappointing, they are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, just one more stewed mutton, and the most important thing is that there is no wine.

After taking the seat, Ma Zheng immediately got up and said: "Chief Fu and others came to our Suicha Military Region to make our department flourish, because our military region has a rule that you are not allowed to drink alcohol on holidays, so let us replace wine with tea, and welcome the arrival of Chief Fu and others!" ”

Fu Yisheng also got up and said, "Thank you Commander Ma for taking time out of his busy schedule to pick up the wind and wash the dust for us, replace the wine with tea, and drink!" ”

Although the meal was average, everyone ate very comfortably, and at the banquet, everyone did not talk about the defense area, but only exchanged experience in fighting against Japan. Because both Fu Yisheng and Ma Zheng know that now is not the best time to say this.

After lunch, Ma Zheng invited Fu Yisheng to his room for tea, and Fu Yisheng naturally knew that he was going to serve dry goods, so he readily agreed.

In the room, the two of them sat across a table of eight immortals, with a teapot and two water cups on the table, Ma Zheng first poured a glass of water for Fu Yisheng, and then said: "Chief Fu, let's open the skylight and say something, presumably Chief Fu wants to see me this time must be about the division of the two defense zones of your and me, I don't know what Chief Fu thinks or asks?" ”

Fu Yisheng was very satisfied with Ma Zheng's simplicity, and immediately said: "Since Commander Ma said so, then Fu someone will not hide it, so as not to laugh at the generous family." After this battle, the Japanese army in Suixi was in a place where there was no cone, plus your army had recovered most of Suidong before, it can be said that our two departments completely recovered the entire territory of Suiyuan, which is also the first province recovered by our Chinese after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, which is quite commemorative. ”

"But then comes the distribution of the defense area, after all, the Japanese army was only temporarily repelled by us, and there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops eyeing us outside your defense area, so how to protect our current territory is particularly important. Of course, this is also related to the most direct interests of your two armies and two parties, and you and I cannot take it lightly, otherwise there will be trouble in the future, and neither of us can afford it. ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said, "What Chief Fu said makes sense, then according to what you think, how should Chief Fu divide the defense areas of our two departments?" ”

Fu Yisheng thought for a while and said: "It stands to reason that Suiyuan was originally the defense area of our 35th Army, and now it should also be stationed in our army, but considering that your army also needs to expand its territory and collect soldiers, and collect taxes, plus most of Suidong was also taken by your army from the Japanese, so I won't mention the previous things, just take Baotou as the boundary, the west of Baotou belongs to our 35th Army, and the east belongs to your army!" ”

"What about Baotou?" Ma Zheng looked at Fu Yisheng with a smile, in fact, the most valuable place in the entire Suixi is Baotou, as for the other banner counties, it is not worth mentioning at all, especially the Mongolian banners like Etuoke and Wushenqi, whose total population adds up to twenty or thirty thousand people, and it really doesn't matter much to whom.
