Seeing that the ** was tough and obviously an experienced soldier, he happened to need such a person now, so Zhang Yunfei asked a few simple questions, and the ** answered very well.

So, Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction and said happily: "You have been hired by us. You can join our 36th Army and fight the Japanese with us."

"Really! That's great." This ** was surprised.

Zhang Yunfei smiled and nodded slightly.

The ** company commander felt a little hit by a pie falling from the sky, and immediately said excitedly: "Sir, don't worry, after joining our 36th Army, I will definitely kill the Japanese."

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and corrected: "In the future, when you see your superior, you should call him the chief, don't call him the chief."

The ** company commander scratched his head embarrassedly. Many comrades from the 36th Army next to him laughed kindly when they saw the ** company commander's embarrassing attitude.

Immediately, a comrade in charge of recruiting soldiers filled in the relevant information on a form, then picked up a note covered with the bright red seal of "The General Staff of the Thirty-Sixth Army" and filled in the name of the ** company commander.

The comrade who was responsible for recruiting extended his right hand, shaking his hand tightly with the ** company commander, and then congratulated: "Hello comrade, welcome you to be a glorious member of our 36th Army. Hold this note, remember to report it, the time and place of the report, and the note is written in detail."

After taking the note, the ** company commander thanked him repeatedly. Then he left happily.

The people next to them watched the ** company commander leave with envy.

Not long after, the other people who came in with the ** company commander also completed the enlistment. The two of them applied for the enlistment, and naturally they were happy. Two of them lost the election because they were not in sufficient conditions. The two of them looked disappointed.

As soon as these people left, five more people came in immediately.

A platoon of soldiers standing outside the recruiting point formed a circle. Each time five people were put in, the five people were put in after the five people were completed, and then five people were put in.

The people outside the circle were all eager and looked at the recruiting spot with hope, hoping that they could apply for the conscript and join their favorite 36th Army.

Zhang Yunfei looked at it. Although the number of people was small each time, everyone was orderly and basically noisy. Seeing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Yunfei said to Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of staff next to him: "Old Zuo, it seems that our recruitment points are still too few. Let's do this and further increase the number of recruitment points."

Chief of Staff Zuo immediately agreed, "Commander-in-Chief, I think this is the only way. At present, there are too many people who want to join our 36th Army, which is much beyond our expectations."

When Zhang Yunfei and Chief of Staff Zuo inspected several nearby recruiting soldiers, it was almost noon, and the situation at each recruiting site was basically the same.

When the two returned to command, they happened to see the deputy commander-in-chief Comrade Liu Dazhu. Comrade Liu Dazhu was furious in the command center. Obviously, he encountered something very infuriating.

Seeing Liu Dazhu like this, Zhang Yunfei quickly asked with concern: "Comrade Dazhu, what's wrong? What makes you so angry?"

Liu Dazhu did not see Zhang Yunfei and Comrade Zuo Qingquan coming in at first. Now when he saw Zhang Yunfei asking, Liu Dazhu put away his anger, but he still couldn't hide his anger in his heart.

Liu Dazhu said angrily: "Commander-in-Chief, this Qinghai Ma Bufang is so bold. In Bazhou, one of our work teams, a total of more than 30 comrades, was basically killed by them. Only the platoon leader Hu and two soldiers who led the team survived, but platoon leader Hu and another soldier were caught by them, and only one soldier escaped."

Now, Liu Dazhu is responsible for setting up local security brigades in various parts of the northwest. This is the task assigned by Zhang Yunfei to Liu Dazhu.

This task has been implemented for more than 20 days. Now, a working team has been sent in various counties, including Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and Mongolia, except for the big cities in these areas and places where the Kuomintang army is heavily stationed.

These working teams range from 20 to 30 people, and the number is as high as hundreds. These working teams are basically composed of soldiers from the 36th Army. The main task of these working teams is to publicize policies, mobilize local people, and participate in local security brigades.

More than ten days ago, with the consent of Zhang Yunfei, Liu Dazhu sent hundreds of working teams to various parts of the northwest. At the beginning, the work of each working team was progressing smoothly, but in recent days, it has gradually begun to have friction with some local warlords entrenched in Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and other places.

Before the Japanese's Mongolian and Sui Army were eliminated, many counties in the northwest were controlled by Japanese, and Ma Bufang's troops were basically entrenched far away from Mongolia and Guisui.

After the Japanese were eliminated, many towns near Mengsui and Sui became vacuum areas. Shortly after the restoration of Baotou, Liu Dazhu sent a working team to wipe out the Japanese Mengsui Army.

In these places, Zhang Yunfei was preparing to station troops from some local security brigades. These ten local security brigades that are about to be established will not only station in Guisui, Mongolia and other places, but also be responsible for some towns in Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia.

Zhang Yunfei was also full of anger after listening to Liu Dazhu's report. Zhang Yunfei thought to himself, when the Japanese were there, Ma Bufang would not fight the Japanese, and restore these county towns. After we annihilated the Japanese, you came to steal these county towns and kill our comrades. You were purely seeking death.

In the past, Zhang Yunfei adhered to the overall situation of the anti-Japanese national united front and did not want to attack these local warlords in the northwest. Unexpectedly, they jumped out by themselves.

It seems that we need to deal with these warlords.

So, Zhang Yunfei asked, "Dazhu, when did this happen?"

Liu Dazhu quickly replied: "Commander-in-Chief, it happened yesterday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon, about a cavalry battalion of Ma Bufang's troops, hundreds of cavalrymen suddenly arrived in Bazhou and killed our comrades and arrested them."

Upon hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in Zhang Yunfei's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Dazhu, immediately send a report to Ma Bufang in Qinghai in the name of our 36th Army, asking Ma Bufang to hand over the murderer and compensate for the losses. He held a press conference and publicly apologized to us."

This time, Zhang Yunfei was preparing to give a tribute to Ma Bufang first and then to send a message to Ma Bufang first. If Ma Bufang did not follow the telegram, Zhang Yunfei would not mind sending troops to destroy the entire Ma Bufang army.

Liu Dazhu received the order from Zhang Yunfei and immediately sent a report.

Looking at Comrade Liu Dazhu's figure as he left, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of staff next to him, asked worriedly: "Comrade-in-Chief, are you going to attack Ma Bufang?"

Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "Old Zuo, if Ma Bufang doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation in this incident, I don't mind sending troops to Qinghai."

Comrade Zuo Qingquan pondered for a moment and reminded him: "Commander-in-Chief, it is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. We should be more cautious. Maybe we will be charged with a crime of destroying the national united front."

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and comforted him: "Old Zuo, no, we will be polite first and then soldiers. Standing on the word "reason", I see who dares to deduct us random charges, even the one from Chongqing, I see no dare."

Seeing Zhang Yunfei speaking so domineeringly, Chief of Staff Zuo also felt that his worries were a bit redundant.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan felt relaxed and said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, no matter what, we support you. In fact, I want to move Ma Bufang, but I have never had a chance."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei smiled faintly, and Zhang Yunfei also thought of this. Back then, many Red Army comrades died at the hands of Ma Bufang. Now, if he destroyed Ma Bufang, I believe that many senior executives in the party and the army would applaud.

This time, as long as you occupy the truth, it is reasonable in terms of reason and has no verbal talk. I believe that no one will say anything. Perhaps even the top leaders of the Kuomintang will say that Ma Bufang is looking for death.

Because Ma Bufang is not the direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, but is just a local warlord. Chiang Kai-shek and the top leaders of the Kuomintang will not offend Zhang Yunfei because of a small local warlord.

Zhang Yunfei looked at Chief of Staff Zuo and saw that Chief of Staff Zuo also wanted to fight Ma Bufang. So Zhang Yunfei said to a guard next to him: "Immediately notify Deng Wenping, Comrade Liu Dazhu, the two combat staff of the General Staff, to hold a meeting in the small conference room of the command center ten minutes later."

"Yes!" The guard turned around immediately.

Upon hearing this, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff, also looked happy and followed Zhang Yunfei tightly towards the conference room.

As Zhang Yunfei walked, some information about Ma Bufang came to mind.

Ma Bufang, whose courtesy name is Zixiang, was from Hezhou, Gansu Province (now Linxia), and was born in 1903. He joined the Ninghai Officer Training Corps in his early years. After graduation, he worked in the Qinghai Local Military Group led by his father Ma Qi and his uncle Ma Lin.

After the establishment of the Nanjing National Government, he served as brigade commander, division commander, army commander, column commander, and commander-in-chief of the army. In 1936, he served as acting chairman of the Qinghai Provincial Government and in 1938, he served as chairman of the Qinghai Provincial Government.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander of the 40th Army and the 82nd Army, a senior general of the Kuomintang army, and a rank of lieutenant general. The Ma Bufang family ruled Qinghai for 40 years, especially Ma Bufang was the most cruel and fierce, debauchery and violent, and was known as the "local emperor".

Ma Bufang is a debauchery and shameless person, and is rare among the upper class of the Kuomintang. Ma Bufang once publicly said: "If I give birth to me, I will be traitorous." The wives and daughters of their subordinates, their sisters, nieces, brothers and sisters-in-laws, can't escape his claws.
