The fire support aircraft, which was converted from a large transport aircraft of the Air Force, was crammed with dozens of six-barreled Gatling guns of 23mm caliber, plus a considerable number of grenade launchers......

Due to the rapid pace of the Japanese army's retreat, the self-propelled howitzers equipped by the 82nd Group Army had not had time to follow up, so the task of chasing and killing the defeated troops fell to the air force in advance......

The fire support aircraft crew, which "picked up a big leak," reaped the greatest results of the campaign step by step.

The 82nd Group Army, which had been racing all the way, gradually stopped after advancing to the Hulunbuir area......

Ma Xuanzhong, the "shopkeeper", drew two circles on the map, told Huang Sheng that there were oil fields in one circle and coal in the other, and then returned to Qinghai by plane.

Just when Huang Sheng and the other division leaders were staring at each other and at a loss, several planes landed at the temporary airport in Hailar. After Huang Sheng saw that it was Ma Chongshan's daughter-in-law who led the team, he breathed a long sigh of relief: the fuel reserves of the troops could no longer maintain the requirements of large-scale armored operations; In order to meet the basic needs of air defense operations, the Air Force, which has always been free from worrying about fuel, can now only live with its fingers pinched.

A week later, the construction of the Tamchag oilfield, located on the western edge of the Hulunbuir Basin, and its supporting small refinery, began.

And Ma Xuanzhong, who returned to Qinghai, became a self-propelled humanoid stamp.

Before Ma Xuanzhong's ass was hot, the leaders of Hami and Jiuquan Railway Design Institute came to the door: the railway from Hami to Ulaanbaatar was ready to start preliminary survey; The railway from Jincheng to Baotou has completed the design and entered the construction stage.

The people from the Jiuquan Iron and Steel Design Institute, who had just sent off the railway, came to sign again: Baotou Iron and Steel Plant, which is nominally wholly owned by Jiugang and is actually controlled by the Communist Party of China, has completed its preliminary infrastructure construction and entered the formal construction stage.

As soon as Ma Xuanzhong breathed a sigh of relief, the staff officer of the group army headquarters turned over a copy of the "Necessity of Forming a Mountain Group Army in the New Situation" submitted by the mountain division.

The report pointed out that after the 82nd Army recovered Tangnu-Ulianghai and Menggu, and advanced the border line to the line of Sayanling-Baikal in the west, and will continue to advance in the future, if the Trans-Khingan Mountains region is recovered, there will be a long mountain border between China and the Northern Soviet Union; In such a situation, it is very necessary to form one or more mountain armies.

Returning to the Mountain Group Army, Ma Xuanzhong put the report on the table, and glanced at the staff officer who sent the report: "Have you read the report?" ”

The staff officer nodded.

Ma Xuanzhong picked up the pen, brushed and wrote for a while, then raised his head and looked at the young staff officer: "Then do you think it is necessary?" ”

The staff officer hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I heard that the training of the mountain division is very hard, and if you want to become a qualified soldier of the mountain division, you can't do it without a few years of hard work." ”

Ma Xuanzhong smiled: "Your brother heard it from Huang Jicheng, right?" ”

The staff officer nodded sheepishly.

Ma Xuanzhong sighed: "When the mountain troops were formed, less than 3,000 qualified soldiers were selected out of the 250,000 soldiers. You know why? ”

The staff officer thought for a while and replied: "It's a matter of physical fitness, training in the cold and hypoxic Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area, it is definitely not possible to have a good physique." ”

"Not exactly," Ma Xuanzhong smiled, "The soldiers of the Mountain Division, cardiopulmonary function, do not allow the slightest defect. ”

The staff officer was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "The soldiers of the 44th Regiment, is the selection more strict." ”

Ma Xuanzhong nodded: "In addition to physique, there are also cultural requirements, and there is another requirement, blood type." ”

"Type O?"

Ma Xuanzhong nodded: "That's it, the 44th regiment is still a semi-finished product, and only the Tropic of Cancer squadron is the primary finished product." ”

"I understand what you mean, troops like the Mountain Division and the 44th Regiment have strengthened their strengths in a certain aspect to the extreme." The staff officer nodded, "By the way, Commander, if possible, I would like to ......"

"Jiang Ruiyuan's second son, Jiang Jianhao, once served in the elite mountain division of the German army. But......" Ma Xuanzhong smiled and glanced meaningfully at the security staff, "Have you communicated with your father about this matter?" ”

The staff officer shook his head.

"Parents are not far away, and there must be a way to travel."

The staff officer smiled bitterly and sighed: "As the eldest son in the family, I must set an example. And before coming to Qinghai, my father had already explained that only the most difficult environment can train people. ”

"You think about it first, if you come back from Tehran and you still insist, then I will let you go."

"Thank you, Commander!"

The staff officer stood up, bowed to Ma Xuanzhong, and left the office.

Before the evening, Ma Xuanzhong received a telegram from Yanzhou.

"Dad, what do you think I should do?"

Liuyun swept the telegram, and then looked Ma Xuanzhong up and down: "If you want to talk about safety, is there a safer place than the Mountain Division?" Train on your own turf, as long as you still have a breath, you and I can save me. I'm afraid that he will ask to go to the Airborne Brigade and the Marine Brigade! ”

Ma Xuanzhong patted his thigh: "Why didn't I think of it, if he wanted to go to the Marine Brigade, it would be really troublesome." ”

"But," Liuyun frowned, "on the way to Tehran, I still have to let Xuan Gong practice." Otherwise, let Xuanli and them go with them, the mustache won't let the meeting go smoothly. ”

"That's right!"

……

Fifteen days later, the Ching Hai negotiating team, which had made the long journey to Tehran, received a warm welcome from the SS under Mustache.

As a sign of sincerity, the SS used roadside bombs, which later became known as the "Eagle Sauce Buster", and the German specialty "98K".

In order to express his gratitude, Ma Xuanzhong asked Liu Xuanli to send all the SS sleepers who had done it to God.

After seeing John Niu, Eagle Sauce and Mao Bear's leader, the Big Three, Roosevelt, the leader of Eagle Sauce, could still give Ma Xuanzhong a good look.

However, Ma Xuanzhong didn't care, no matter how fierce and ruthless the characters were, he had also seen them.

As soon as the talks began, Stalin clamored for Ma Xuanzhong to return the territory; Ma Xuanzhong, on the other hand, justifiably demanded that the three countries abolish a series of unequal treaties signed by the former Qing Dynasty......

also counted on Ma Xuanzhong to clean up Roosevelt of the Kwantung Army as soon as possible, and quickly stood up as a peacemaker.

People respect me, I respect people.

Ma Xuanzhong looked at Roosevelt with a smile: "Mr. President, I can send a unit with combat experience against Japan right now to help the U.S. Army clean up the Japanese troops on the Pacific Islands, but it's ......."

"Your Excellency, General," Roosevelt looked at Ma Xuanzhong with a calm expression, "what price do we have to pay?" ”

"My navy needs a number of anchorages," Ma Xuanzhong said "without shame," and looked at Roosevelt with confidence, "If Japan is defeated, I need sovereignty over the Ryukyu Islands." ”

Roosevelt nodded: "This should do." ”

"Mr. President, what I need is the agreement document signed by the President of the United States of America and Congress." Ma Xuanzhong glanced at Roosevelt, and then said unhurriedly, "Within a year, my army will completely clean up the Kwantung Army in northeast China." ”

"As for the operation of sovereignty over the Ryukyu Islands, I think it shouldn't be difficult for Mr. President, right?"

Roosevelt smiled and nodded.
