Chapter 20 Section VIII

When Ma Hongbin, Chairman of Ningxia Province, got the news, he immediately sent someone to welcome him. Ma Zhongying told all walks of life in Yinchuan that he would come back this time to appease the old Ministry and send them home so that they could live and work happily.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Ma Hongbin asked Ma Zhongying to serve as the teaching captain of the Ningxia army, and selected junior officers for training. Ma Zhongying lived a simple life and shared joys and sorrows with the students. He adopted the training methods of the Northwest Army and provided examples from the Battle of Hehuang and the Great War in the Central Plains. The students understood it quickly.Many students expressed their willingness to listen to Ma Zhongying's orders.Ma Hongbin was shocked when he heard the news.In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Ma Zhongying went to the countryside every day throughout the winter to release eagles and catch rabbits.Sometimes go far.

When spring was approaching, Ma Zhongying left Yinchuan with his students who were loyal to him, and lurked at the Yellow River Ferry in Zhongwei. Ma Hongbin's troops searched everywhere, but there was no trace. After checking, only seven people left with Commander Ga. "I still want to make trouble with seven soldiers." Ma Hongbin can drink tea in peace, the hotter the tea, the more delicious it is. The chief of staff was worried, "Commander Ga took seven soldiers when he seized Xunhua County." "Let him take it if he's capable. As long as he doesn't take Ningxia, don't worry about him. He's Ma Bufang's enemy, not my Ma Hongbin's."

"Then let's withdraw our troops." "Look at you stupid, you have to give Ma Bufang some face, Commander Ga is a bitch king, don't let others gossip about us." Ma Hongbin took a sip to change his cup, and the guards kept serving him hot tea. The chief of staff said, "It's hot." Ma Hongbin said: "I don't know who to burn, let it burn!" Commander Ga sneaked into the Hexi Corridor, rode on a big horse, walked thousands of miles overnight, and went straight to Ganzhou.More than 2,000 people from his old unit were incorporated here by Ma Bufang and formed a brigade. Ma Qian, the brigade commander, was also an old subordinate of Commander Ga.

When Ma Qian saw Commander Ga, he opened his mouth as if looking at a kiln, watching Commander Ga walk into the kiln, Ma Qian was neither standing nor sitting.Commander Ga said: "You are the brigade commander, and I am the bare-bones commander. I have come to make a living in front of you." Ma Qian then remembered to call the commander, and hurriedly called someone to set up a table for the old commander.At the banquet, there was one old officer at a time.The several heads of the regiment are all relatives of Ma Qian, and they follow Ma Qian one by one.Commander Ga said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a commander. I'll meet with you to catch up on the old days. I've done a great job. I've been out for several years. I miss my brothers!" He made a sound, his eyes were shining brightly in the dark, and Commander Ga left the hot banquet and walked into the bright light.

Ma Qian sent someone to Xining overnight to report to Ma Bufang. Ma Bufang yelled: "Isn't he in Ningxia? Even if he has wings, he can't fly so fast!" Ma Bufang gave orders to the people: "Go back and tell Ma Qian that the brigade commander is not a rolling pin If you want to be an official, you have to be ruthless and destroy Ma Zhongying to death." Ma Bufang sent the most elite cavalry regiment to make an appointment to assist Ma Qian in destroying Ma Zhongying.That group of people was lurking in the mountain nest, and as long as Ma Qian sent a signal, they could enter Ganzhou City in the blink of an eye.

It was peaceful and quiet for several days in a row. Shower on Thursday night, officer first.Ma Qian invited the old chief and the deputy chief of staff.Commander Ga only brought his little brother Ma Zhongjie, a teenage boy. Halfway through the bath, a shot rang out in the bathroom. Commander Ga came out of the hot water and saw that he was shot at him, and it was Brigadier Ma Qian who fired the shot.Brigadier Ma put on his clothes at some point, carried two boxes, was close to Commander Ga, raised his pistol and hugged one guy, then another guy, probably almost dead.No one expected that Commander Ga's body was fine, and he jumped into the air like a big fish.Brigadier Ma grasped the gun with both hands, hugged it again and again, and the gun stopped firing when he hugged his arms. Commander Ga stood in front of him, and the two boxes shot at the back wall of the bathhouse, which was a thick stone wall.Commander Ga gave Ma Qian a kick, and Ma Qian thumped and knelt on the ground. "The heart of being shot is too cruel, how can you shoot like this? Two hands pinched the gun to death, are you worthy of being a soldier?" Commander Ga spat at Ma Qian.

The first shot was fired, and the cavalry regiment outside the city rushed in, and they were all hacked to death with sabers in the streets and alleys, and blood flowed out of the city gate.A few empty horses were as fierce as fire, they crossed the Qilian Mountains, and returned to Ning Haijun's camp. Ma Bufang quickly mobilized the army, and all the soldiers in Qinghai were dispatched.Even Ma Buqing's cavalry army was transferred up, and the tens of thousands of troops went out of Shandan and Biandukou in two ways to attack Ganzhou. Ma Zhongying's most elite infantry brigade was led by Ma Zhongjie to capture Suzhou. In just two days, most of the dozen or so counties in the Hexi Corridor fell into Ma Zhongying's hands.

Before the start of the war, Ma Bufang said to his elder brother Ma Buqing: "The old ancestor's family business is about to be destroyed. Brother, we are brothers. We will fight Ma Zhongying with all our lives. If he is alive, we will not live safely. " "We are not afraid of him even if he is a tiger. We have many soldiers and generals, but how many are he? Don't be afraid of him." Tens of thousands of troops drove up.It was blocked in Hongshuigou, the most dangerous place in Qilian Mountains.There is a small river flowing in the red ditch, the water is like blood, because the soil is red, and the stones are also red.This is where the blood was set before.Damn Ma Zhongying, you really know how to choose a place. With such a big Qilian Mountain, you just blocked my grandfather and me in the throat.

The whole army drove up one by one, and the dead were pouring waves, almost filling up the red ditch. The guns stopped firing on the mountain, and the saber flashed like a mirror, showing all the internal organs of a person.Ma Bufang pulled out his pistol and fired three shots into the sky, "Come on, brothers, the enemy has no bullets." The soldiers who were driven downhill with sabers stared at their officers in a daze. Sorry to load the bullet.Their chief took the lead, fired one shot, and another shot, knocking down two of Ma Zhongying's soldiers.Ning Haijun at the foot of the mountain ping-pong-pong fired his guns.

It has been two days and two nights.This is also the reinforcements dispatched after the loss of the Dark Horse Brigade of the Ning Navy's Blue Horse Brigade, and Ma Bufang personally led them to kill Hongshuigou.The machine gun blah blah blah. "Just hit Ma Zhongying." "Sir, it's dead." "Have you seen clearly?" "Two hundred bullets fell on him like white rain. He must be wet." "Find his body, I'll dig a few holes in him." The search team was tossing around among the dead, and the dead were all tough and good guys, all of them looked like Ma Zhongying.Many corpses were removed by Ma Bufang, and blood was sprayed all over his body.Brother Ma Buqing was a little calmer.

"Brother, it's fine if you die, it's a joke." "I want to let him die in a down-to-earth manner." "Die is sure, brother." "I'm not down-to-earth, my eyelids keep twitching." "You're too nervous." "It's not nervousness, it's vigilance. It's better to be vigilant, and you won't suffer." Ma Buqing shook his head and smiled. The search force reported that the remnants of Ma Zhongying retreated to Suzhou. "No one left, kill them all." Ma Buqing blocked his crazy younger brother, "Suzhou is coming to Xinjiang soon, so don't chase after him." "No, kill them all." "Brother, you are red-eyed, and you are not sober. If we drive the main force to Suzhou, we will not be afraid that the troops of Lanzhou and Longdong will steal our way." Ma Bufang was startled by brother's words.Quickly withdraw troops and return to camp. After returning to Xining, Ma Bufang coaxed her elder brother to go to Lanzhou to watch a play.Ma Buqing is a fan of operas. Hearing a piece of Qin opera, his soul is gone.Brother's military power was taken away by brother little by little.My elder brother realized it was too late, so he built a Butterfly House in Hezhou City, and bought a famous Qin Opera from Lanzhou with a lot of money to be his concubine, and sang big plays for him in the Butterfly House alone. Ma Zhongjie returned to Suzhou with the remnants of his troops, his vitality was severely injured, and there were only a few hundred people left.Everyone searched everywhere, but there was no news of Commander Ga.Ma Zhongjie didn't believe that his brother would die, so he commanded the troops to train as usual. A week later, a bloody man came from the Gobi Desert.Under the sunlight, there was a terrifying light on the blood man's body.The dried blood was still so bright on the body, as if wrapped in a layer of red silk.Ma Zhongjie shouted: "Brother, brother, my brother is alive, haha, my brother is alive." Commander Ga crawled out of the dead, walked for three days in Qilian Mountains, walked in the Gobi for three days, made a big circle, and walked back from outside Jiayuguan. "I walked up to Horsehair Mountain, such a majestic mountain, with strands of stones shining under the sky, like the wind blowing a horse's mane." None of us had ever seen such a mountain. "In front of Mazong Mountain is Chang Ma'er Mountain, and Ma'er Mountain in Chang'an, such a good place, how can Ma not be prosperous?" Commander Ga fell asleep while talking. Ma Zhongying held Jiayuguan and the four surrounding counties, and Ma Bufang's army surrounded him on three sides.Ma Bufang hoped day and night that Ma Zhongying would collapse.He likes to incorporate Ma Zhongying's remnants.According to intelligence reports, Ma Zhongying was preparing to march into Xinjiang.Ma Bufang said: "In the 19th year of the Republic of China, he planned to attack Xinjiang, but his subordinates were unwilling. His soldiers all returned from Hezhou, and they couldn't leave their homeland." The intelligence officer said: "Ma Zhongying recruited a lot of Han people, as well as scholars from big cities in the interior." Ma Bufang said: "Fortunately, we started early, and it would be troublesome if we were late." Ma Bufang ordered intelligence personnel to pay close attention to Ma Zhongying's movements, and sent people to Xinjiang to contact Jin Shuren and attack Ma Zhongying.In the desert, it is like catching a turtle in a urn, and Ma Zhongying cannot escape with his wings.
