Chapter 23 Section Eleven
It was originally planned that the head of the regiment, Ma Shiming, would lead the troops to Xinjiang.The troops assembled and were ready to go. Ma Zhongying gave a speech to everyone. He asked the soldiers: "Is Jin Shuren afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." The soldiers shouted.
"There is also the Great Gobi Desert, which is even more desolate than the dry plateau in Gansu, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." The soldiers shouted more and more fiercely.They are all eighteen or nineteen-year-old lads with stunned heads, who are not afraid of anything.
"Ma Bufang despised your mother, causing me to go to Xinjiang..."
Ma Zhongying's Ga Jin came up, and he roared along with the soldiers.
"I'm still Commander Ga, I'm not old, I led my brothers to leap over Tianshan Mountain, to the top of the mountain, and let Jin Shuren pee his crotch."
The soldiers laughed loudly, like landmines.Commander Ga loves this kind of loud buzzing sound, and he would praise a soldier who farts loudly: "This guy, his asshole is like a cannon." The staff reminded that it was Ma Shiming who went to Xinjiang, not you.
"No, the head should be left to this commander, Ma Shiming Ma Shiming."
Ma Shiming shouted: "Here!"
"Ma Shiming, you bastard can't take advantage of this. I'm going to Xinjiang. You will be my assistant."
Ma Shiming became the deputy commander. The troops of the 36th Division are called commanders from the company commander to the division commander.
Commander Ga began to recruit troops. He thought there were too many people, and it would not take one regiment to fight Jin Shuren, half a regiment would be enough.More than a thousand young men stood on the big playground, each of them received an iron fist from Commander Ga, and those who staggered took a step back.Commander Ga picked out 500 strong men, armed with light weapons, and started his trip to Xinjiang.
It was a hot summer, and the thousands of miles from Suzhou to Hami were all covered with Gobi.The black stones are endless, not a single tree can be seen, not even dead wood, the Gobi desert is spotless, and the stones are hot.Troops are like walking on a branding iron.Commander Ga kept urging everyone. Like a soldier, he carried a rifle slung across his shoulders and a pistol under his crotch, and jumped like a horse.The desolate Gobi is like a seesaw under his feet. He leads the way and everyone follows closely.Five hundred strong young men walked through the depths of the desert like the swift and swift Cyclonus.
After marching more than 100 kilometers in one breath, they saw wild camels.When they entered the desert, they didn't even see a single ant, not even the lizards that often exist in the desert.They ran towards the wild camel, and the wild camel was eating. They wanted to see what the wild camel was eating, it must not be eating stones!The wild camels ran away when they saw people, and the soldiers all raised their guns with a "wow", the bolts of the guns were pulled like a torrential rain, and the muzzles of the guns were dark and silently staring at the wild camels, the guns liked the wild camels more than they did.They saw the food of wild camels. There is also a desert in the northwest of Ningxia, Gansu. There are camel thorns growing in the desert, which grow in sandy nests and have some moisture.The camel thorns here are like a ball of fire, growing in the crevices of the stones. The stones are hot, and the camel thorns are even hotter. The thorns seem to breathe fire.Everyone peeled off the roots, and the roots were full of sand and stones, emitting heat.Commander Ga said: "Look at its leaves, the mouth grows on the leaves." The leaves are round and smooth like buttons, the upper side blocks the sun, and the lower side absorbs water.Suck from the air.The soldiers shouted: "It sucks sweat, it sucks all the sweat on our body." "It started to suck it when we left Suzhou."
Everyone was hungry, so they picked up the gourd water bottle and each of them drank only one sip of water. Commander Ga said, one sip of water per meal.
To moisturize your throat, eat Guokui fried noodle pancakes.Someone brought eggs, and I heard that eggs can be boiled in the sand in the hot weather in Xinjiang. The person who brought the eggs dug a hole and buried the eggs. After ten minutes, the eggs were cooked.Commander Ga ate one, it was so fragrant that it made people roll their eyes.After eating and resting for fifteen minutes, Commander Ga said to go, waved his hand, and everyone rushed up, and a large area of the Gobi Desert fell down, like a trampled mat.The sun circles in the sky.
A long line of troops, like knives, cut a line from the western end of Suzhou to the eastern edge of Xinjiang, cutting the Great Gobi in two.This is how the Tianshan Mountains appeared. When the broken Gobi drifted, a divine force suddenly lifted the earth to the sky, full of large and large stones, and the stones shone like silver helmets with snow caps on them.Someone shouted: "Qilian Mountain, Qilian Mountain is following us."
The Qilian Mountains disappeared at the junction of Gansu and Xinjiang, like a herd of wild horses, raising a long brown mane at the end of the sky.Looking to the south, they saw only the brown stone formation at the end of the sky, like the back of a horse.
No one thought that this was a group of sneaking mountains, echoing them from afar, suddenly appearing in front of them, it was no longer the original appearance, the snow peaks and glaciers shone with silver light, and the valley was a deep blue, just like the burnt blue on the barrel of a gun. Those unused new guns are this gloss.
"Such a new mountain, my grandfather!"
"Just like the new wife."
"No wonder it's called Xinjiang, Xinjiang Day is fucking new."
"Ma Shiming, I want to eat stubble noodles."
Ma Shiming chuckled, "I didn't take orders from Commander Ga."
"I didn't snatch you back, go to our Gan Province to eat yams and fried noodles."
"I will not go."
Ma Shiming got kicked and still didn't go.Commander Ga can play with him, and Commander Ga can play with anyone. After playing like this, everyone will not be tired anymore, and playing around is better than anything else.Everyone was talking and laughing, and the stones on the Gobi Desert were rushing forward like the back of a horse.Marching at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the faster and faster the march, the mountains are racing with people.
The long line is also ups and downs, the line is like a mountain, with sword-like ice peaks on its shoulders, bayonets and gun barrels dangling from the shoulders of the soldiers, they are chasing something.The mountain is also chasing something.
"What is the mountain chasing after?"
"The mountain is chasing after Jin Shuren, and if he catches up, he will throw his old thing off the saddle."
"There are saddles on the hill?"
"There are saddles on the hill."
"Whoever has strong legs can ride."
Everyone looked up at the mountain. Everyone wanted to ride such a beautiful mountain.
"The five hundred are dead."
"If you can't afford Commander Ga's punch, you can walk away with your pants up." They have never seen such a majestic mountain range, which is in line with their romantic psychology.They looked up at the proud and majestic mountain again and again.
"It's like a general."
"To be a general is to be here."
"Xue Rengui's expedition to the west is this way."
"Look, there is a fanli flower in front of you."
"It's Mu Guiying."
They marched in this way for three days and three nights, walked more than 400 kilometers, crossed the desert, and suddenly appeared on the oasis east of Hami, shocking the whole Xinjiang.This is simply the speed of Harrier Eagle.For thousands of years, this desperate situation of using troops has been half a month.The provincial army originally wanted to wait for work with leisure, but Commander Ga's five hundred strong men didn't feel tired at all, and they were as happy as horses, just like playing a game of football.We often play football with Commander Ga.The Great Gobi is flat and flat. Commander Ga kicked all the way over, and with one shot, he broke through Huanglugang, Hami's gateway.A regiment of provincial troops stationed in Huanglugang failed to recruit and broke up.The provincial army sent two regiments to stop the attack at Xiyaoquan. Thousands of troops occupied the favorable terrain, and the guns fired.
Those 500 strong men rushed from the depression to the top of the mountain in one breath, without even panting, they swung their knives and slashed. Blockbuster.The guns of the provincial army were suppressed in this way, and the unhurried gunfire was suddenly prolonged, and the bullets were chasing the fleeing enemy.The guns of the provincial army were completely dumb, the cannons were left on the ground, the guns were still dragging, and they didn't have the heart to shoot.Whether on foot or on horseback, the mountains and plains are full of frightened and defeated soldiers, panting and chaotic footsteps like wasps, people keep falling down, and there are also desperate people who can't afford to sit down, tilt their heads and stretch out Legs, like dry trees.The two groups of people broke up like this.The weapons collected by Commander Ga piled up on a hill. Everyone replaced them with good guns, and the remaining weapons were hidden. The large army in Suzhou lacked weapons.
The defenders of Zhenxi surrendered without a fight.Commander Ga has one thousand more people.He joined forces with Ganiyazi Aji and Commander Ga in Dun, and the Uyghur troops formed a regiment.Aji took a photo with Commander Ga, like father and son, the bearded commander and the childish-looking doll commander.Don't talk about fighting, the rapid march alone shocked He Ganiyazi Aji! "In that place, wild camels have to run for ten or eight days, but you came here in three days. It's amazing."
Aji was very happy. After the Hami uprising, he was blocked by the provincial army in the mountains, hiding everywhere, and he was about to be unable to withstand it.
Commander Ga whirled like a gust of wind and blew Hami clean.Aji laughed.
"Let's go to Dihua and catch that old bastard Jin Shuren."
Commander Ga told Aji that Jin Shuren had wet his crotch, and he must send an army to Hami to dry his pants.
Sheng Shicai, who had been sitting on the bench in Dihua for many years, began to take charge of the military power. No matter how confused the master was, he would not dare to give this kind of retainer any power.Sheng Shicai was still the chief of staff of the East Route Army, assisting Lu Xiaozu to fight Ma Zhongying.When approaching Hami, Sheng Shicai suggested deploying defenses along the mountain, guarding the main pass, and looking for fighter opportunities.The brigade commander Du Zhiguo didn't take Commander Ga seriously at all, "A hairless baby, if you play tricks on adults, I'll teach him a lesson. I won't beat him, I'll scare him by pulling his ears, as long as his baby With tears in my eyes, I let his baby go back to Gansu to eat fried noodles and yam eggs."
"Feng Yuxiang is not a baby, is he? The Northwest Army has 50,000 troops to suppress him."
"Old Sheng Gouzisong, eat more peanuts, peanuts make up Gouzi."
Brigadier Du led his five thousand troops to attack Dun in a mighty manner, but Commander Ga was nowhere to be found.
"My baby is hiding. Is it a baby? Xinjiang is not Gansu. The Gobi Desert scares your baby."
Brigadier Du is camping in the flat wilderness, and he can drive the baby back to Gansu without pulling the baby's ears!In the middle of the night, the children came, five hundred children came, and turned the camp upside down, with fire, gunshots, and the neighing of war horses.Brigadier Du was hit by a stray bullet as soon as he got out of the tent, and lay on the ground moaning and two guards guarding him.The 5,000-man army blinked and disappeared.A company commander under Commander Ga ran over and asked who this was?The guard said it was our brigade commander.
Brigadier Du was still angry, Commander Ga's company commander wanted to make meritorious service, so he cut off Brigadier Du's head and escorted two guards to see Commander Ga.After listening to the report, Commander Ga patted the shoulders of two guards, "It's rare that you two are caring people, the commander didn't take you for nothing."
When the team assembled, Commander Ga asked the company commander to repeat the matter. As soon as the company commander finished speaking, Commander Ga took off his head and threw it on the ground.
"Bah! I'm disgusted."
Du Zhiguo's entire army was wiped out, but Sheng Shicai wanted to attack on a large scale.Lu Xiaozu is a literati, he has already been scared out of his wits, and has no intention of fighting again.
"You are a military expert, you can find a way to retreat for me, as long as you can escape, it is a victory."
"Arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated. Ma Zhongying never dreamed that we would attack."
"What do you see my legs doing?"
Commander Lu Xiaozu's legs swayed like snakes.Sheng Shicai had to think about this issue. When he couldn't get along in Nanjing, Lu Xiaozu introduced him to Xinjiang. He couldn't sit on the bench and forget his old friends.He had no choice but to give up this opportunity. In the name of the chief of staff, he ordered the Qijiaojing arsenal to be burned down, and the army took the opportunity to withdraw to Qitai.It was difficult for Commander Ga to detect the reality of the provincial army and did not pursue it.
Jin Shuren transferred the Eighth Division of the Army from Yili, still with Sheng Shicai as the chief of staff, to meet Ma Zhongying.Lu Xiaozu didn't dare to fight, so Sheng Shicai led his troops to meet Ma Zhongying.
Sheng Shicai's troops consisted of several thousand Belarusian soldiers, all of whom were fierce Cossacks.Commander Ga's eyes lit up when he saw the Cossack's shining saber.He didn't want to fight anymore. Fighting Jin Shuren was too boring. It was far worse than fighting the Northwest Army, and it was far worse than crossing the Gobi.When he was about to go home, a group of majestic Cossack soldiers rushed over, and he felt that Xinjiang was interesting again.He chopped down two Cossack soldiers, screaming excitedly, soldiers should be like this, after beating and chopping, they will become stiff.He yelled in his mouth, the blades collided, and sparks flew everywhere.The Cossack went back alive. The Cossack soldier shook the reins and looked at Commander Ga in surprise, his eyes blank.Very few people survived Commander Ga's sword.Commander Ga rushed over with the reins, and the Eighth Division and the White Russian Army all collapsed.
Sheng Shicai withdrew his troops and retreated into Qitai City.Ma Zhongying led a fierce attack, and the city resisted desperately.The crossfire weaves a wall of fire.Ma Zhongying was too familiar with this style of play, "Who is the commander in the city?" He Ganiyazi Aji said: "Sheng Shicai, the Chief of Staff of the Eastern Route Army."
"What does he do?"
"I don't know."
The Uighurs in Hami only know Jin Shuren, and Jin Shuren's subordinates are all from Hezhou, and he can hang a box with a gun when he speaks Hezhou dialect.
"When I saw this fellow, my eyes were full of tears. Sheng Shicai is also from Hezhou? If there is such a capable person in Hezhou, it could be that I, Ma Zhongying, are blind."
Ma Zhongying didn't believe that Sheng Shicai was from Hezhou. Apart from the Han people in Hezhou, there were Hui people. Sheng Shicai's Han people in Hezhou were too surprising.Ma Zhongying sent someone to catch the living, preferably an officer.The secret service battalion sent someone to quickly catch one alive. He was a company commander of the provincial army, a cadet soldier in the military academy, and a hardcore soldier of Sheng Shicai.Sheng Shicai was originally from the Northeast, a student studying in Japan.Ma Zhongying regained his energy in a "shocked" moment, "Haha, I've come to the right place. Jin Shuren has such a treasure under his command, Jin Shuren is an old dog who has a sense of taste. First get Sheng Shicai, and then get Jin Shuren."
Ma Zhongying couldn't wait any longer, and shouted: "Sheng Shicai, Sheng Shicai, come out!" A group of cavalry rushed over.Everyone else was holding a saber, Sheng Shicai was holding a grotesque curved saber, Ma Bufang was carrying this kind of foreign saber.Ma Zhongying pointed at Sheng Shicai, "Catch him, take off the scimitar and break it!" Two of Ma Zhongying's soldiers rushed up, only to see Sheng Shicai's scimitar swaying lightly, and the two cavalrymen led the horse together When he fell down, the human head and the horse's head rolled together.Ma Zhongying rushed forward with a roar, the horses staggered, the blades collided, each other's arm strength became clear at once, and the two retreated like beasts, no one dared to underestimate the other; the next round the two would no longer exert their strength , Use technology to take the opponent's vitals.There are more than a dozen rounds of table tennis, and there is no winner.Sheng Shicai's guards are all veterans of the military academy, and they only have their mentors in their minds, not Jin Shuren, let alone Ma Zhongying.A guard roared and rushed up from the side to protect the teacher, and died under Ma Zhongying's knife. When he fell off the horse, he suddenly hugged the front hoof of Ma Zhongying's mount desperately, and another iron hoof crushed the head of the loyal guard. Stiff on the horse's hoof, the horse fell to its knees and threw Ma Zhongying out all at once.Ma Zhongying rolled on the spot, and a carp stood up straight.The two sides no longer played classical fighting, and the guns in their hands rang involuntarily.A group of guards blocked the bullets to cover Sheng Shicai's entry into the city.Those brave White Russian soldiers guarded the city gate, and the city gate was still open.Before Ma Zhongying got on his horse, he ran towards the city gate. The White Russian soldiers fired at him. He chased the rushing Cossack soldiers and cut down all the defenders at the gate of the city. Fortunately, the gate was closed, otherwise the lame wolf would rush in.
The lame wolf didn't care about the bullets at all. He ran around in the bullet rain, dragging his injured leg, chopping and shooting, and people kept falling from the city.Everyone didn't even have the courage to look at him.
Commander Ga bled profusely, limped and disappeared from the Eastern Border Oasis.
That fierce shadow is still hovering over the Tianshan Mountains.People are like seeing a cripple who was active in the hinterland of Central Asia. Ma Zhongying is another Timur.Lame Timur.
Commander Ga heard this glorious title when he withdrew halfway. He liked this place so much. This barbaric land produced sand, stones, storms, ice and snow, and also produced heroes that are rare in the world.He erected many wooden signs on the spacious official road that Han Tang and Zuo Zongtang walked, on which it was written: Ma Zhongying's department left on May 23, and will come back in the future.Ma Shiming stayed to fight with Ganiyazi Aji.Commander Ga said: "Such a good place is reserved for you as a dog. Don't think Jin Shuren is old. Just treat him like a dog and kill him every day. I won't come back until he dies."
Ma Shiming made a promise.Commander Ga doesn't listen to this, Commander Ga wants his actions, and wants Jin Shuren to die in the future.
Commander Ga led 500 people out of Jiayuguan, and left 200 for Ma Shiming. When he returned to Suganzhou, there were already an army of 4,000 people and 8,000 guns.
