Under the setting sun, tanks and trucks drove into Yinchuan. People in Yinchuan rushed out to look at these steel monsters they had never seen before. The noise when they moved was so loud that even the windows
They were all buzzing from the shock.
These convoys were quickly divided into three teams. Under the guidance of agents lurking in Yinchuan City, two teams headed for the temporary 3rd and 4th Cavalry Division stationed on the outskirts of Yinchuan City.
Go to the majestic Ma Mansion.
Ma Hongkui and Ma Qichang, who were relatively speechless, soon felt the ground tremble after hearing the guard's report, as if a huge monster was coming here, and the overfilled water in the water glass on the table also
It all overflowed.
The cup vibrated louder and louder, and suddenly everything stopped, as if what happened just now had never happened.
After a while, there was a burst of neat footsteps in front of the door. The front door was opened, and a group of heavily armed soldiers wearing steel helmets and holding Somi 31 submachine guns ran in. They trotted to the front of the living room.
They lined up in front of the steps and stopped in their tracks.
Ma Hongkui said with a self-deprecating smile: "Su Tong has staged such a big battle to give me, an old man, a blow."
At this time, a voice came: "Commander Ma, what you said is wrong. Commander Su asked me to come here to tell you that we are very concerned about your safety. If you don't mind, our 37th Group Army can
I will escort you to wherever you want to go." As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged officer with a Chinese character face and a major general's epaulettes strode up.
He saluted Ma Hongkui and then said calmly: "Bai Ying, commander of the 1st Armored Division of the Thirty-seventh Group Army, has met Commander Ma."
Ma Hongkui looked at Bai Ying and chatted for a while before saying with a wry smile: "Tell me, didn't your commander send a message to the old man?"
Bai Ying smiled and said: "Chief Ma is really good at predicting things. Commander Su asked me to tell you that being an apartment house is actually much more comfortable than being a general. Please consider his opinion carefully. Also,
We will not move your property, but there is a prerequisite, that is, you must compensate the caravan for its losses before you can take it away."
"You" Ma Qichang with an angry face was about to speak, but Ma Hongkui stretched out his hand to stop him. Ma Hongkui said lightly: "I, Ma Hongkui, have killed people, set fires, forced girls into prostitution, and done countless bad things in my life. But you can rest assured of one thing, that is
I still keep my word."
After speaking, Ma Hongkui nodded to Ma Qichang. Ma Qichang took out a check from his jacket pocket and handed it to Ma Hongkui. Ma Hongkui put the check on the table and said: "This is two million in cash issued by Citibank in the United States.
The checks, which are cashable on any American bank in the world, are to compensate the caravan for its losses."
Ma Qichang added next to him: "The caravan's goods are all in the military camp on the outskirts of Yinchuan. Not a penny is missing."
Bai Yingliao nodded and said: "You are good at doing things. If your telegram had been sent one day late, I am afraid that the results would not be as good as today."
Ma Qichang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Bai, what are you going to do with our brothers in the third and fourth divisions?"
Bai Yingliao smiled maliciously: "I've heard about this brother. Our Chief Su plans to send them to Mongolia to build railways with those old men, and make some contributions to our country's railway construction in order to clean up the country's railways."
Wash away the sins on their bodies. Well, what do our officers call this? By the way, it’s called reform through labor.”
"What?" Ma Qichang couldn't help but get angry after hearing this, "Are you going too far? They are all warriors who are good at fighting no matter what. It would be fine if you just incorporated them, but you actually treat them as
It’s really too much of a lie to use it to build railways like a prisoner.”
"It's too much to deceive others." Bai Yingliao sneered: "I tell you, if you hadn't been quick to see the opportunity and sent that message in time, huh, they would have gone to heaven to build a railway for your Lord.
"
"And I'm not afraid to tell you that when your message is sent to our headquarters, our bombers are already ready to take off. Otherwise, huh." Bai Ying's words caused Ma Hongkui and Ma Qichang to break out in thin cold sweat.
, this Su Tong is so ruthless, he will punish anyone if he disagrees with him.
"What a terrible life." Ma Hongkui sighed and then laughed at himself: "It seems that my only destiny, Ma Hongkui, is to live in the apartment."
"Okay, that's all my heartfelt words. You two can do what you want." Bai Yingchao said calmly: "But we, Chief Su, suggest that you'd better go to Hong Kong or somewhere else to be your boss."
It's better to live in an apartment, so as not to ruin the harmony when we meet later."
Ma Hongkui paused as he just took steps: "I, the old man, freely advocate this, but I would like to ask Mr. Bai to thank you, Mr. Su, for your kindness. Qichang, let's go."
Watching Ma Hongkui and Ma Qichang walk out of the mansion that the Ma family spent a lot of money to build, Bai Yingchao couldn't help but think of what Su Tong once said, as long as money is enough, you can't be too greedy, otherwise it is very likely that you will...
If sincerity is in heaven and money is in the bank, it will be a complete tragedy.
From the time Chahar's caravan was attacked to the time the army sent troops into Yinchuan, Su Tong completed the de facto occupation of Ningxia in less than seven days, while Ma Hongkui and his son were driven out of Ningxia in despair.
This incident aroused great repercussions in the country. Some people said that the caravan incident was a ploy directed and performed by Su Tong. Others said that Su Tong was a speculator who fished in troubled waters. However, in any case, Su Tong became the biggest beneficiary of this incident.
, this is an indisputable fact.
Regarding this matter, the National Government did not express any opinions and did not send any more officials to Ningxia. This also showed to the world that Chairman Chiang had acquiesced in this matter.
Zhangjiakou
After rescuing this group of people, Su Tong sent medical personnel to treat their injuries and gave them a radio to let them contact his organization.
Not long after, the Socialist Workers' Party also sent a telegram to Chahar. On the one hand, they expressed their gratitude to Chahar's political ax for the helping hand, and on the other hand, they promised to send people to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible to take him back.
Because there were too many people, the more seriously injured could only be sent to the hospital first, while the rest were placed in a barracks.
Today, as the host, Su Tong and the little nurse went to the barracks to visit these personnel. After entering the barracks, they found that the barracks was very lively with people coming and going. Su Tong and the little nurse were walking in the barracks and heard bursts of loud noises from next to them.
Su Tong could not help but nod his head as he sang. The Socialist Workers Party was really not a stronghold. It could still have such strong cohesion under such difficult conditions. No wonder Chiang Kai-shek was so afraid of them.
Su Tong and the little nurse came to the largest room in the middle of the barracks, and were about to walk inside. At this time, a man of about 37 years old wearing glasses and wearing the standard army uniform of the Thirty-seventh Army without a rank came out of the room.
A gentle-looking young man in his mid-twenties walked out of it.
The young man saw an officer of his own age coming towards him, and a young and beautiful woman beside him was holding his arm. The two of them were looking at them with smiles. He couldn't help but be startled, and stepped forward and asked: "
May I ask who you are looking for?”
Su Tong smiled: "I really don't know who to look for. How about this? I'll look for your leader."
The young man was startled: "The leader doesn't know that you are looking for our leader."
"Then I'll find your top leader."
"Okay, please come in." The young man hesitated for a moment, but politely invited them in.
Following the young man into the room, Su Tong found that many people were busy inside. There was a radio station placed on the innermost table, which was busy transmitting ticking messages.
The people inside saw a young couple coming in and couldn't help but cast curious glances at them. The young man walked quickly to a middle-aged man inside and whispered a few words.
The middle-aged man looked up and saw Su Tong and the two walking forward. He was about to greet them with smiles. Suddenly he noticed three shining gold stars on Su Tong's shoulders. His eyes couldn't help but condense. He quickly stepped forward and saluted.
: "Hello, sir"
Su Tong returned the gift with a smile and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I just came to see you and see if there is anything else I can help you with."
The people around were stunned, especially the young man who came in with Su Tong and the nurse. He couldn't help but ask: "Chief, why do you call him chief?"
The middle-aged man laughed and scolded: "No wonder others want to call you bumpkins, you just haven't seen the world. You just don't know the general himself, but you should know the military rank on his shoulder. There is a second person so young in Chahar."
General?"
Su Tong also smiled, and took the lead in extending his hand and said: "Hello, let me introduce myself first. I am Su Tong, Chairman of the Chahar Provincial Government and Commander of the 37th Group Army. This is my fiancée Huang Fei."
"Hello." The middle-aged man also quickly extended his hand, and the two shook hands vigorously and said, "I am Wang Qiang, chief of staff of the division. We were supposed to be the ones visiting, but I didn't expect you to come first."
"You don't have to be polite. When you come, I always want to enter into the friendship of landlords." The two began to chat, and Su Tong found that Wang Qiang, who had a kind face, was an extraordinary talker and knowledgeable. He was really a talent.
Wang Qiang was also surprised to find that when chatting with the top military and political officer of Chahar, he could chat with you in everything from heaven to earth, and there were some truths that he had never heard of before. It seemed that this Chahar
Hal's top officer is really outstanding in his own way.
Both of them deliberately avoided some sensitive topics and had a great time chatting. Finally, Su Tong asked them if they needed any help from him, just ask. He would try his best to meet their requests within his ability. Wang Qiang smiled and thanked them.
Already.
After a while, Su Tong got up and said goodbye to the little nurse. Wang Qiang sent them to the gate before turning back to the house.
After Wang Qiang entered the house, he immediately ordered the operator: "Send a report to the central government and ask them to send someone to take us back as soon as possible. If we stay here for a long time, we will cause trouble to the master's family."
"Chief, isn't General Su very enthusiastic? Why don't we wait for some time for the soldiers to recover before leaving?" The young man asked in confusion.
"You guys?" Wang Qiang said angrily and funny: "People are warm because they are hospitable, but can we still stay here for the rest of our lives? People say that because they are hospitable, so we have to try not to cause trouble to them. You
understand."
"Jianming, if you help them like this, aren't you afraid that Chairman Chiang will blame you?" the little nurse couldn't help but ask after walking for a while.
Su Tong smiled and looked into the distance and said faintly: "They are a group of respectable people. Let's try our best to help them if we can."
The little nurse discovered that Su Tong's eyes seemed to have penetrated time and space and saw something they didn't know.
