Ten minutes later.

Comrade Deng Wenping, Comrade Liu Dazhu, and dozens of staff officers at and above the rank of major in the General Staff Headquarters who had been notified all came to the conference room.

These staff officers who were notified to attend the emergency meeting felt a little strange in their hearts, and many of them were wondering if they were going to fight the little devils again.

Even Comrade Deng Wenping was suddenly notified to come to the conference room for a meeting in 10 minutes, and he was also confused, because he had been busy dealing with the 100-regiment battle of the Eighth Route Army recently, and he had not taken any action against the 36th Group Army.

Comrade Liu Dazhu had just finished sending the telegram and held a meeting as soon as he received the notice, and Liu Dazhu guessed that it might have something to do with the Bazhou incident, so Comrade Liu Dazhu strode into the conference room with a happy face.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Yunfei looked around at everyone, and then said slowly: "Comrades, this time we hurriedly convened a meeting because yesterday, one of our work teams in Bazhou was attacked by a battalion of Ma Bufang, and all of our more than 30 comrades, except for one who successfully escaped and two who were arrested, were all killed. ”

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't expect that someone would dare to kill the comrades of the 36th Group Army.

Everyone didn't expect that Bazhou is just a small county with a population of only tens of thousands, and it is in the northeast of Gansu Province, far away from Qinghai Province, and such a thing will happen.

Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, who had just heard the news, was also a little surprised, and said after a long time: "Commander-in-chief, I didn't think that under the general situation of the anti-Japanese national united front, there are people who openly sabotage the united front of the Anti-Japanese War and sabotage the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Commander-in-chief, we must severely punish such people. ”

As Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, expressed his views, demanding that the murderers be severely punished and that troops be sent to Qinghai.

Zhang Yunfei saw that everyone began to discuss, and immediately pressed his hand down, and everyone's discussion stopped abruptly.

Zhang Yunfei said solemnly: "Comrades, we will definitely severely punish the murderer, we must pay the debt with blood, just now Comrade Liu Dazhu has sent a telegram to Ma Bufang in Qinghai in the name of our group army in accordance with my request, Ma Bufang handed over the murderer, compensated for the losses, held a press conference, and publicly apologized to us.

But Ma Bufang has been entrenched in Qinghai for many years, and I guess it will be difficult for such a stubborn warlord to apologize to us, so we must be prepared to send troops to Qinghai. ”

As soon as Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, Chief of Staff Zuo also expressed his opinion: "Commander-in-chief, I suggest that troops be sent to Qinghai immediately to put pressure on Ma Bufang's troops. ”

Subsequently, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Comrade Liu Dazhu also expressed his opinion and demanded that troops be sent to Qinghai.

Seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Zhang Yunfei immediately said with a straight face: "Now issue an order, order the First Cavalry Brigade of the Cavalry Division and the Armored Division to quickly assemble in Baotou, and after completing the assembly, immediately go south and take Qinghai directly." The airborne regiment of the flying brigade is combat-ready. ”

At present, the cavalry division and the armored division are all units with strong mobile skills, and Ma Bufang's troops, which are good at cavalry, are just the right to use the cavalry division and armored division.

As for the airborne regiment of the flying brigade, it has been established for a long time, and everyone's training has been carried out well, but they lack actual combat experience.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei finished delivering the order, everyone was full of excitement, and one after another the orders were immediately transmitted to the hands of the participating troops through the radio waves......

Northeast Gansu, Bazhou County.

This county, to the north of dozens of kilometers is Guisui Province, here is a desolation, spring and summer, only around the county seat more than ten kilometers there is a little green, and then far is the endless Gobi Desert.

There used to be a few little devils and about a platoon of puppet troops stationed here, with the little devil Mengsui army was completely annihilated, this little devil didn't know where to go, after the little devil ran away, only a dozen puppet soldiers and a few officials of the county political axe remained to maintain law and order in the county.

A few days ago, a task force of the 36th Army, about a platoon of fighters, came here to propagate policy, mobilize the masses, and prepare to create a company of armed forces here, an armed force belonging to the local garrison brigade.

But since noon yesterday, hundreds of cavalrymen wearing [***] military uniforms suddenly came to the county, and the platoon commander Hu who led the team hurriedly identified himself, but these cavalrymen, without saying a word, shot at the platoon commander Hu.

The soldiers who were caught off guard were almost all killed before they could organize effective resistance, and Platoon Commander Hu and one soldier were captured, and only one soldier, under the cover of everyone's desperate death, was able to escape.

Now, in just one day, more and more cavalry have appeared in and around the county, and these cavalrymen belong to the First Cavalry Division of the 82nd Army of Ma Bufang's Division, and the number is estimated to be more than 1,000.

Under the 82nd Army there was an infantry division and two cavalry divisions, the commander of the first division was Ma Biao, and the commander of the second division was Ma Lu. Each cavalry division was about 8,000 people.

Not only these two cavalry divisions, but also the high-level of the entire 82nd Army are basically composed of people surnamed Ma, all of whom are Ma Bufang's cronies, and they are basically Hui people, so Ma Bufang's troops are also called Ma Jiajun.

Yesterday, there was only a cavalry battalion in the county, and now, there is at least one cavalry regiment, more than a thousand cavalry, since he knew that all the little devils in the entire northwest were annihilated by Zhang Yunfei, Ma Bufang couldn't wait to send his first cavalry division and second cavalry division, and began to grab territory everywhere.

The county seat of Bazhou, where the county government axe is located, had been occupied by a large number of cavalry at this time, and in one of the houses, two soldiers of the 36th Group Army were tied to two pillars by five flowers.

These two soldiers, one of whom was Platoon Commander Hu, obviously both of them were severely tortured by these cavalry once, their bodies were stained with blood, their clothes were also beaten to shreds, and their spirits were also extremely sluggish.

In this room, several cavalrymen of the Ma family army were drinking and laughing arrogantly.

A one-eyed Ma Jiajun straddling a Mauser pistol, obviously a small leader, this one-eyed Ma Jiajun took a big sip of wine and said: "His grandmother's, these two people are really hard-mouthed, we are all tired of fighting, and we don't say a word." ”

The other person, with a flattering face, said, "Lianza, in this case, I am afraid that the task assigned to us by Tuanzao will not be completed, and Tuanzao asks us to ask how many people have come from their 36th Group Army." ”

"Hey, I've been a soldier for more than ten years, and I've killed eight people if not ten, but I've never seen such a hard bone."

"Lian Sit, this time our regiment was ordered to garrison Bazhou, is it too big and overkill, we have a regiment of more than 1,000 people, how big is Bazhou, a place with a big palm." After speaking, the soldier of the Ma family army shook his head.

The one-eyed company commander patted the head of the Ma family army soldier, "You kid knows a fart, although Bazhou is a small place, but this is the northeast of Gansu, and further north is Guisui, we are stationed here, and the entire northeast of Gansu is our Ma family's army."

Let me tell you, our Commander-in-Chief Ma (Ma Bufang) is ambitious, as soon as the little devils in the entire northwest are eliminated, Commander Ma will order us to hurry up and grab the territory, no, even our division came to Wuwei yesterday, and tomorrow the division may come to Bazhou in person. ”

"Really? The master will come tomorrow too? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the one-eyed company leader was furious, "Could it be that Lao Tzu will lie to you." ”

Platoon Commander Hu, who had just woken up from a coma, heard the conversation of these Ma Jiajun soldiers, and spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and let out a "phew".

Hearing the sound of "bah", the one-eyed company commander put down his wine bowl and said viciously: "Boy, do you want to be beaten by us again?" ”

Platoon Commander Hu was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Just the two of you, it's almost the same as scratching the master, let me tell you, you have caused a big disaster, your miscellaneous army, even our 36th Group Army dares to provoke, I really don't know how to write the word dead."

I tell you, our army of 100,000 will reach this place in a few days, and when the time comes, Lao Tzu will slaughter you miscellaneous pieces with his own hands to avenge the death of his comrades. ”

As if he had heard some big joke, the one-eyed company commander laughed arrogantly, "Who are you scaring about?" There are still 100,000 troops, why did I only see about 30 of you yesterday? Let me tell you, we won't be afraid of your 36th Army.

We came here on the orders of our Commander-in-Chief Ma to kill the people of your 36th Group Army, which was also agreed by our Commander-in-Chief Ma before, and our Commander-in-Chief Ma said that anyone who grabs territory with us will be killed, by the way, I haven't told you who our Commander-in-Chief Ma is.

Our Commander-in-Chief Ma is Ma Bufang, known as the 'King of Qinghai', our Commander-in-Chief Ma has a heavy army, and he is also the chairman of Qinghai Province, in Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia, they are all deep-rooted, and they are all the world of our Ma Army, and we will be afraid of your 36th Group Army. ”

After the one-eyed company commander finished speaking, the people next to him all had amazing looks, and they didn't take the 36th Army in their eyes at all.

Hearing this, Platoon Commander Hu shook his head, thinking in his heart, he is really ignorant and fearless, a group of typical stupid forks.
