Half a month after entering the Nenjiang Plain, after completing the task of attacking Nenjiang County, defeating Yan Jiabao, eliminating the 11th Mixed Brigade Cavalry Regiment and seizing the Yihede Army Horse Farm, and conducting preliminary anti-Japanese propaganda to the local people, Ma Qian'an withdrew his troops and entered the Saqi Mountains of the Daxinganling in the southwest.

Advancing to the Saqi Mountains westward was not the next target of the Anbin Column. Ma Qian'an originally planned to swim in the Nenjiang Plain for another period to support the Anti-Japanese United Army in the Little Khingan Mountains and reduce the pressure on the enemy's anti-Japanese United Army headquarters. However, the situation changed quickly, and information from successive sources showed that the old man, the wild deputy Changde, had continuously drawn troops from the periphery of the Little Khingan Mountains to return to defense, and was determined to solve the Anbin Column entering the hinterland of Longjiang Province. The enemy situation faced by the column became unprecedentedly tense. In order to preserve the vitality, Ma Qian'an was forced to consider taking the troops back to the mountainous areas.

Another important reason is that Ma Zhanshan's troops with a 15,000-man army unexpectedly went east to the Halaha River and quickly defeated a part of the Xing'an Army Cavalry Division on a border in Xing'an East Province. On the way, they ate the 13th Manchukuo Military Police Corps and entered the mountainous area on the west side of Zalantun Street. After Ma Zhanshan entered Xing'an East Province, they learned that Ma Qian'an led his troops to operate in Nenjiang and were facing serious enemy situations, so they "instructed" the Anbin Column to join him.

Ma Qian'an convened a unit of the 13th detachment and 9th detachment to go south to receive horses. When all the troops were concentrated in the Saqi Mountains, Ma Qian'an calculated the local anti-Japanese forces, and his heart was unconsciously excited.

At this time, the Second Route Army of Zhou Weizhong and the Japanese army fought fiercely in Xing'an North Province for half a year. Because the Japanese army of Xing'an North Province had a large number of troops stationed in preparation for the S-Road, the Second Route Army failed to control the border between Xing'an North Province and the S-Road Army. After returning to the Anti-Japanese United Army headquarters for a meeting and research, the Anti-Japanese United Army decided that the Second Route Army would develop into Xing'an East Province, where the enemy's troops were weak. The favorable condition for development in Xing'an East Province was that it could go south to the plains at any time to obtain resources and manpower.

This included Ma Zhanshan's 15,000 people, 8,000 people in Zhou Wei, and nearly 30,000 troops in the 11th War Zone of his Western Expedition Force, and had the ability to fight a major war.

Xing'an East Province has always been a weak area of ​​ruling, with few garrisons in its province. The main force in its province is only more than 2,000 cavalry regiments of the puppet Xing'an Army, and more than 1,000 armed forces such as the puppet police security teams and military police teams in various places. Their strength is not enough to fight against Ma Zhanshan and the coalition forces of the Anti-Japanese United Army.

Xing'an Eastern Province is capitalized by Zalantun. The northwest is bounded by the Greater Xing'an Mountains and borders with the Northern Xing'an Province; the southeast is bounded by the Nenjiang River and borders with Longjiang Province; the south is bounded by the Genghis Khan's border wall as the bounded by the Southern Xing'an Province, and the north is bounded by the Little Xing'an Mountains and borders with Heihe Province.

It is under the jurisdiction of Butha Banner, Arong Banner, Molidawa Banner, Bayan Banner and Xizhagar Banner. The total land area is 106,728 square kilometers, the total population of the province is 136,225. Among the total population of the province, there are 1093,712 Manchu and Han people, accounting for 15.2%, and the mainland people are 2,377 natives and Koreans are 1,304.

Xing'an East Province is a five-flag and one-street system. In addition to the above five-flag, it also has a Zalantun Street. The Butha Banner Office is located in Zalantun (street), and the puppet provincial office is also located in Zalantun.

After receiving the order, Ma Qian'an immediately led several detachment leaders to the headquarters of Mazhanshan under the escort of soldiers from the special squadron, and Yak Mountain, 30 kilometers west of Zalantun. After a day and two nights of rapid march, he finally arrived at the headquarters of Mazhanshan headquarters one day in early May.

Ma Qian'an arrived before Zhou Weizhong. When he saw the energetic old man Ma Zhanshan, his uncle and nephew had a "happy and sincere" exchange. Ma Qian'an understood Ma Zhanshan's main intention to attack Xing'an East Province this time.

The anti-fascist war around the world is at an extremely critical moment. The situation on the battlefield of the Soviet-Germany has become worse. Since the Battle of Moscow, the German Command has changed its strategic plan in response to the situation on the Soviet-Germany battlefield, abandoned a full-scale attack, and instead carried out a key attack on the southern wing of the Soviet-Germany battlefield. To this end, 39 divisions, 6 brigades and a large number of supplementary troops were quickly drawn from the local area and other regions of Europe to reinforce the Eastern Front, and concentrated the basic forces to the southern part of the Soviet Union in an attempt to capture the Don River, the lower reaches of the Volga River and the Kuban River area and then seize the Caucasus. In May 1942, the German army launched a summer and autumn offensive, first breaking through the Soviet army's defense on the Kerch Peninsula, and the progress was smooth... The Soviet Union faced great pressure.

The main battles on the Chinese battlefield occurred in Myanmar. In order to ensure the safety of the main artery on the Yunnan-Burma Highway and ensure the smooth entry of aid materials into China, Chiang Kai-shek sent an expeditionary force to fight fiercely with the Japanese army entering Myanmar for more than two months. However, due to the collapse of the British army, the Chinese expeditionary force was unable to support it. After several tactical victories, it underwent a strategic retreat. For a time, the rear of the southwest China was also facing the danger of being attacked by the Japanese army on both sides, and the pressure was also great.

On the Pacific battlefield, R himself also had an absolute advantage. When the war broke out, the US Pacific Fleet had only three aircraft carriers, the Enterprise, Lexington and Saratoga. Among them, the Enterprise was sunk on the spot during the demonstration exercise. Later, the York City and the Hornet rushed to reinforce from the Norfolk Port in the United States. Later, the Hornet also came from the Atlantic to assist in the war. In addition to one of the seven US aircraft carriers, five were fighting in the Pacific Ocean, and only one was left in the Atlantic Ocean.

But even so, the US military was deeply afraid of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy. On the other hand, at the beginning of the war, Japan's aircraft carriers had an absolute advantage over the US Navy. The Japanese Navy had nearly 20 aircraft carriers mainly composed of large aircraft carriers such as Shototsu, Ruitsutsu, Kaga, and Feilong against five US aircraft carriers, and its strength was self-evident.

In April, in order to break this depressing atmosphere, the US military sent a tragic "Tail Dulite Bombers" to bomb Tokyo, and the plane was completely destroyed. After the York City released the plane, it immediately fled and did not dare to wait for the bomber to be recovered in the dangerous waters. It was ridiculed by Yamamoto Iroku as a silver-like gun tip.

Under such circumstances, the anti-fascist camp urgently needed a victory to boost morale. Stilwell, the chief of staff of the Chinese theater, urged Chiang Kai-shek to fight a "inspiring" battle. Chiang Kai-shek also hoped that the United States and the Soviet Union would be the main force to defeat Germany and Japan, and he would be the smart man who was so good at playing tricks. Of course, he refused to use his own direct line to fight desperately. After some exchanges, Stilwell began to become impatient and used various vehicles to accuse Chiang's government of "" on various occasions, and could not take on mainstream tasks.

Stilwell's "rudeness" caused great trouble to Chiang Kai-shek. In addition to losing his temper to protest to Roosevelt, he also had to consider fighting for a while. After thinking about it, Ma Zhanshan was a messy army. He didn't feel sorry for his fight. Besides, Ma Zhanshan could also mobilize the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Even if the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces did not completely obey Ma Zhanshan, he could always do it in cooperation. Why not use the method of killing several shots with one shot?

"So your old man's task is quite heavy!" After hearing Ma Zhanshan's detailed explanation of the whole story of the troops, Ma Qian'an patted the old man's shoulder with sympathy and joked.

Ma Zhanshan did not laugh, but instead asked with a serious expression: "I ask you, can you fully support me in realizing my strategic intentions and make me stand firm locally?"

"What are you talking about?" Ma Qian'an opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Don't say you are the chief of the war zone or my uncle. Even if the ordinary anti-Japanese army asks for my help, I will not refuse. You are too much, right?"

"Hmph! I don't dare to say anything!" Ma Zhanshan smiled, "I have Mr. Zhou and Yang Jingyu's guarantee to me. They promised that I would get the full support of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces locally. If you dare to disobey, I will let Yang Jingyu deal with you."

Ma Qian'an laughed, but thought in his heart that Yang Jingyu's instructions received not long ago: Together with one heart and one virtue to fight against Japan.

Ma Qian'an wanted to introduce several team leaders to Ma Zhanshan who came with him. Ma Zhanshan made a temporary gesture and said, "Don't be busy for now. Anyway, you have to stay here for a day or two, and it will not be too late to say that. Now I will lead you to see someone. This person is short of time and cannot be exposed to everyone. You will leave in a while. If you are late, you will not be able to see him."

"Who is it? It's so mysterious."

"His name is Bao Yunwei, the governor of Xing'an East Province."

"Pseudo Governor? What did he do? Have you instigated him?" Ma Qian'an asked in surprise.

Ma Zhanshan was very satisfied with seeing Ma Qian'an reacting like this, and probably there was an incident that surprised the nephew.

"Do you remember Major General Babin Jersey? He is the general from Outer Mongolia."

Of course I remember that Babin and Jersey were very happy that Ma Zhanshan helped him solve the problem, and Ma Zhanshan and his two men also conspired to use Babin and Jersey's power and other issues. Ma Qian'an nodded and said he remembered.

"Babin Jersey defended the Japanese army for violating harassment and was promoted to Chief of Staff to be fully responsible for the defense of Eastern Outer Mongolia. In order to better restrain the Japanese army, he not only provided a certain amount of material support, but also provided a secret person to help us. He is..."

"It's Bao Yunwei." Ma Qian'an answered quickly.

Bao Yunwei, who was talked about by his uncle and nephew, was anxiously waiting for Ma Zhanshan's reunion to meet again. He didn't have much time. For this meeting, he found an excuse to inspect the territory. He took his confidants on the road and suddenly turned into the deep mountains and forests. Before dark, he must turn back to the main road to avoid arousing suspicion from others.

In the early days of the Republic of China, Bao Yunwei was admitted to Fengtian Mengzhai by Zasak, Bintuwang Banner. After graduation, he served as an editor at the Shenyang Mengwen Daily Museum; he served as a clerk at the Taochang Daoyin Office of Liaoning Province, Zhengjiatun; he served as a Mongolian teacher at Liaoning Provincial Fourth Middle School and supervising the Qingxiang Supervisory Office of the Bendao Administration, and inspector general.

In 1930, Bao Yunwei, as a representative of the Bintu King Banner, went to Nanjing to attend the Mongolian meeting held by the National Government. At the meeting, he proposed the proposal to "implement Sun Yat-sen's nationalism and help all weak ethnic groups in the country develop their economy and culture", which had a certain political impact and entered the Inner Mongolia political circle.

After the "September 18th" Incident, Bao Yunwei, Hafenga, Temurbagen and other young people participated in the "Inner Mongolia Autonomous Army" and wanted to use the armed forces supported by the Japanese Kwantung Army to make internal independence, but failed.

After the founding of the Puppet Manchukuo, Bao Yunwei obtained the consent of his student Pensk Outer Mongolia to join the Puppet Manchukuo government. He served as the Minister of Civil Affairs of Xing'an South Province of the Puppet Manchukuo, Acting Governor, Director of the Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Mongolian Affairs, and Consultant of the Xing'an Bureau of the State Council of the Puppet Manchukuo. He is currently the Governor of Xing'an East Province.

Babin Jersey provided such a high-ranking official of the puppet Manchukuo who had been lurking underground for many years to Ma Zhanshan. After laying such a large sum of money, it seemed that he attached great importance to Ma Zhanshan's barrier effect on Outer Mongolia. Ma Qian'an reacted a little. He was really treacherous Babin Jersey. With the secret help of Bao Yunwei, he could occupy the outer edge of Outer Mongolia for a long time and shelter them from the wind and rain.
