The battle in the southwest of the city was quite disturbing, and at the beginning of the battle, the third commander of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade reported the situation to his brigade commander.

When thousands of cavalrymen of the Ma family army surrendered there, Commander Pan of the Mechanical Infantry Brigade and Commander Cai of the Cavalry Brigade, led a large number of soldiers to come over.

Brigade Commander Pan and Brigade Commander Cai saw thousands of cavalry surrendering one after another. The two felt relieved and looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

Brigade Commander Pan said happily: "Old Cai, we have completed the task well this time. It seems that we must report to our superiors immediately. The Commander-in-Chief and others are probably still waiting for our news."

"Yes, Lao Pan, this time, none of the Ma family cavalry in Bazhou missed the net, and the comrades did a very beautiful job."

It seems that Brigade Commander Cai from the Cavalry Brigade was also very happy.

"However, Lao Cai, we have another mission. There are still many Ma family cavalry in Wuwei City, and we are going to march towards Wuwei again."

"Okay, Lao Pan, let's set off immediately. As for these prisoners, you and I will leave a regiment to deal with it." Brigade Commander Cai, the Cavalry Brigade, also suggested.

"Okay, that's it."

There were thousands of people in a cavalry regiment and a mechanized infantry regiment. It was more than enough to keep an eye on these cavalrymen of the Ma family who had put down their weapons and had no fighting spirit.

"Comrade, hurry up and send a report to the Commander-in-Chief to report this good news." Brigade Commander Pan said loudly.

Twenty minutes later, Brigade Commander Pan and Brigade Commander Cai, with thousands of people, left Bazhou and headed towards Wuwei less than a hundred kilometers away.

Thousands of captives of the Ma family army in Bazhou were firmly taken care of by the soldiers, and all the weapons of these captives were collected.

These prisoners were divided into two groups, one group of ordinary cavalry soldiers of the Ma family army. One group of officers of the Ma family army, these officers of the Ma family army were tied up with ropes by the soldiers and kept in strict supervision.

The two soldiers from the 36th Army who were arrested in the past were also rescued by the soldiers. The rescued Platoon Commander Hu personally ended the one-eyed company commander of the Ma family army who tortured him.

.............

The 36th Army Command.

Zhang Yunfei received telegrams from the front line and was in a good mood.

An hour ago, Wu Youqing, the commander of the Armored Division, sent a telegram, which stated that the two tank regiments of the Armored Division had already divided into two groups to capture Xining. It was only a few dozen kilometers away from Xining. At this speed, in about an hour, the troops would be under the city of Xining City.

Now, more than 1,000 people from the Flight Brigade's airborne regiment have taken off on more than twenty transport planes, and it is expected that they will reach the airborne location in another hour.

This time, Zhang Yunfei concentrated all the transport aircraft, and all the 20 large transport aircraft owned by the entire 36th Army were sent out.

The entire airborne regiment had more than 2,000 people, but the planes were limited, and only about two-thirds of the soldiers could participate in the operation. Those soldiers who did not have the opportunity to participate in these operations had to stay at home.

Now, Zhang Yunfei has received another telegram from the Mechanized Infantry Brigade.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Yunfei looked happy and said happily to Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff who had just finished reading the telegram: "Old Zuo, Ma Bufang should cry this time, and a cavalry division is gone."

Comrade Zuo Qingquan was also in a good mood and said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, I see that Ma Bufang couldn't cry this time, but we were about to reach Xining."

After saying that, everyone burst into laughter.

The happiest person is Comrade Fang Zheng, because this time he captured thousands of people. Now he is the time to need free labor, such as road construction, mining, factory building, etc., all these heavy work needs to be done by people.

Although there are tens of thousands of Japanese prisoners working hard in various places, there are still fewer people. Now, the development of the vast base area can be described as taking off. Tens of thousands of coolies are far from enough. Fang Zheng wishes to have hundreds of thousands of free coolies.

Comrade Fang Zheng looked happy, "Commander-in-Chief, these thousands of prisoners in Bazhou have solved my urgent needs. Now I need labor everywhere. Although those tens of thousands of Japanese devils are doing well now, I still seem to be stretched everywhere."

"Commander-in-Chief, it would be great if we could capture thousands or tens of thousands of prisoners. I heard that Ma Bufang has troops of 70,000 or 80,000 troops. If he could capture half of them, it would be even better."

Zhang Yunfei looked at Fang Zheng and said, "Lao Fang, it is impossible to capture half of the prisoners. This time we will fight quickly and take Xining directly. Many of Ma Bufang's troops must not have time to return to the rescue. According to the information, Ma Bufang's troops in Xining are only a few thousand people now, so it would be great if they could capture another two or three thousand."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

This time, Zhang Yunfei's strategy was to quickly capture Xining with lightning speed, quickly annihilated Ma Bufang and his group of senior officials, and finish the work before all forces reacted.

At that time, even if someone wants to say a few words to Ma Bufang, they have to consider it. These people will not offend the powerful Zhang Yunfei for the sake of a dead Ma Bufang.

What's more, Zhang Yunfei occupied the word "rea" this time, and fewer people would speak for Ma Bufang.

Seeing Fang Zheng's expression, Comrade Deng Wenping, the director of the General Political Department next to him, took a long sip of cigarettes, and then comforted him: "Lao Fang, it's better than not to have these thousands of prisoners."

After listening to Deng Wenping's words, Fang Zheng slowly figured it out, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Zhang Yunfei looked at Fang Zheng and reminded him: "Lao Fang, the soldiers captured by the Ma family army can only work for one year, and they will be released after one year. Those middle and low-level officers of the Ma family army are the key targets of our labor reform."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded.

Fang Zheng knew in his heart that Zhang Yunfei was because everyone was Chinese, and many of these ordinary soldiers might have joined the Ma family army just to make a living.

................

Xining, Ma Mansion.

Ma Bufang was enjoying the best West Lake Longjing there. Two concubines were carefully pounding Ma Bufang's back. In the phonograph next to him, there were still the most popular tunes nowadays.

Since the meeting was held yesterday, Ma Bufang was in a good mood and started his enjoyable life again.

When Ma Bufang finished tea and listened to the tunes while enjoying the meticulous service of two young and beautiful concubines, the door of the room was pushed open with a "bang".

There was no report, nor did he knock on the door for instructions. When he heard the door suddenly opened, Ma Bufang's mood was interrupted. Ma Bufang was angry and thought, "I want to see who is so bold."

When Ma Bufang looked at the door of the room, he saw Ma Qing, the chief of staff of the 40th Army, running in with a panic look on his face.

Ma Bufang, who was about to get angry, saw that it was his absolute confidant and suppressed his anger. Seeing Ma Qing's face full of panic, Ma Bufang's heart sank. He had a bad premonition. Usually, Ma Qing is not like this, and he is very calm.

Before Ma Bufang could ask, Ma Qing said anxiously: "Commander-in-Chief. No, Zhang Yunfei has taken action to us. This is a telegram for help from the First Cavalry Division."

Upon hearing this, Ma Bufang's face changed, and he grabbed the telegram and looked anxiously. After reading the telegram, Ma Bufang's face looked very ugly.

After a long time, Ma Bufang asked, "Chief Staff, what do you think?"

Usually, many of Ma Bufang's strategies are made by Ma Qing, and this time, it is no exception. Ma Bufang immediately asked about Ma Qing.

After the panic just now, Ma Qing calmed down a little and pondered for a while: "Commander-in-Chief, the 36th Army is not good at coming this time. Even the First Cavalry Division with more than 8,000 people sent telegrams for help."

Upon hearing this, Ma Bufang also looked ugly and said a little unwillingly: "Now it is a cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Does Zhang Yunfei dare to make a big fight?"

Ma Qing stood by and did not dare to answer. In the past, Ma Qing said that Zhang Yunfei would not send troops on a large scale. This time, he did not expect that in such a short time, Zhang Yunfei's troops would reach Bazhou, northeast of Gansu.

Seeing that Ma Qing didn't say anything, Ma Bufang said anxiously: "Let's go, let's go to the command center together, notify Ma Hong and send a report to Ma Biao, asking about the situation of the war?"

Ten minutes later, Ma Bufang and his confidants gathered in the command center. The faces of these people were very wonderful, some were surprised, some were disbelief, some were anxious, some were worried, anyway, all kinds of expressions were there.

Not long after, Ma Qing, who went to send a message to Ma Biao in person, walked over with a ugly face. As soon as he entered the door, Ma Qing said worriedly: "Commander-in-Chief, the radio station of the First Cavalry Division has not been contacted. I think there is something wrong with the First Cavalry Division."

Upon hearing this, Ma Bufang's face turned ashen.

The group of Ma Bufang's confidants were all gasping for a cold breath. At this time, the radio station lost contact and everyone understood what was going on.

Many people thought to themselves, it was a cavalry division with thousands of people. It took less than half an hour since Ma Biao sent a telegram for help.

There were only a few thousand pigs that were killed by the 36th Army. It was impossible to kill them in just half an hour, let alone thousands of cavalrymen.

Ma Bufang sat upright in the middle, without saying a word, and his face looked very ugly.

Ma Hong, the commander of the Fifth Cavalry Army, saw the heavy atmosphere, immediately spoke up and comforted: "Commander-in-Chief, Bazhou is still far away from our Xining, and we still have time to deploy the army. This time, since Zhang Yunfei is going to make a big fight, we will have a good time to play with the 36th Army."

"As long as we mobilize our troops outside, we have tens of thousands of troops, are we still afraid of Zhang Yunfei? In addition, we can send a newspaper to Chongqing, saying that Zhang Yunfei has destroyed the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the national united front. With this big hat, Zhang Yunfei must be afraid of three points."

As soon as Ma Hong finished speaking, many people sitting there felt relieved. What Ma Hong said made perfect sense. Even after hearing this, Ma Bufang felt relieved and his eyes lit up.

But Ma Bufang was not happy for long. Before he could send a report to Chongqing, a commander of the Ma family army ran in anxiously and shouted, "Commander-in-Chief, something is wrong."
