The announcer's voice on the radio was very standard and very gentle, and Lao Jiang could hear it clearly.

During the broadcast, Ma Bufang was reported in detail how he killed the soldiers of the 36th Army and how he ordered his troops to torture the two soldiers of the 36th Army who were arrested.

In addition, the history of Ma Bufang's family made a fortune, how Ma Bufang made a good fortune, even Ma Bufang married more than 20 concubines.

Lao Jiang patiently listened to the entire radio, and it took almost half an hour. Wang Shihe, who was next to him, saw that Lao Jiang was listening very carefully, without any expression on his face.

Wang Shihe had no choice but to stand respectfully, without saying a word, and seriously accompanied Lao Jiang to listen to the entire radio.

After listening to the radio, Jiang sighed long, seemed a little helpless, and said softly, "This is Ma Bufang's asking for death himself."

Although Jiang Jiang didn't speak loudly, Wang Shihe could still hear it clearly. Upon hearing this, Wang Shihe thought to himself, it seems that Chairman Jiang did not intend to investigate this matter in depth.

Yes, after listening to this radio, Lao Jiang already had his own thoughts in his mind.

As a senior politician, when Chiang Kai-shek saw Zhang Yunfei admitting to killing Ma Bufang, now, Zhang Yunfei is using the reputation of the 36th Army to guide public opinion across the country. Zhang Yunfei's purpose is like a mirror in his heart.

Lao Jiang knew that at this time, he instructed the people below to condemn Zhang Yunfei, which would definitely attract criticism from the people of the whole country. Lao Jiang didn't want to let himself be in such a storm because of Ma Bufang.

The current National Government has been completely in a state of decline with the loss of large tracts of land. It is basically difficult for government orders to be exported to several southwest provinces.

If this time, Ma Bufang will lead to the loss of the reputation of the National Government, it will be more than worth the loss.

So, after listening to the radio, Lao Jiang said helplessly, "This is Ma Bufang's asking for death."

Lao Jiang thought, this incident can only be kept secretly in mind. If you have the chance, you will settle the score with Zhang Yunfei.

But as soon as Lao Jiang thought so, he immediately sent a telegram, which made Lao Jiang feel very good immediately. He was planning to settle the score with Zhang Yunfei in the future, but he immediately changed his mind and his views on Zhang Yunfei also changed greatly.

A personal guard of Chiang Kai-shek walked to Chiang with a telegram with a respectful face and reported: "Chairman. Secret telegram from the 36th Army."

Seeing that it was a secret telegram from the 36th Army, Lao Jiang was slightly surprised and thought to himself, at this time, the 36th Army sent a telegram. What's the matter?

Lao Jiang took the telegram in confusion, and after reading a few lines, his frowning brows immediately stretched out, and even a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Wang Shihe, who had been standing respectfully and observing his expressions, was in a good mood when he saw the telegram. So Wang Shihe asked curiously: "Chairman, is it a happy event?"

"Well, Shihe, I said that Zhang Yunfei is pretty good. Look, Zhang Yunfei immediately sent a telegram, and in the telegram, he also pleaded with us for punishment, saying that he had annihilated Ma Bufang's troops without the approval of the Ministry of National Defense."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shihe also looked happy and thought to himself that Commander-in-Chief Zhang's attitude was still very low, not as arrogant as the rumors.

This is actually a strategy of Zhang Yunfei. Zhang Yunfei may not necessarily obey Chiang Kai-shek's orders. Zhang Yunfei has never asked the Ministry of National Defense of the National Government for sending troops to fight.

This time, it was entirely for the sake of face, which made Chiang Kai-shek easier and happier, so Zhang Yunfei put his attitude so low.

Unexpectedly, Lao Jiang was really happy. Lao Jiang knew that this was just what Zhang Yunfei said with face, so Lao Jiang could not really punish Zhang Yunfei.

Wang Shihe looked happy. Seeing that Jiang Jiang was so happy, Wang Shihe also began to flatter him. "Chairman, your prestige is really high. Even Zhang Yunfei couldn't wait to send a call to apologize and request punishment."

Wang Shihe's flattery is actually not smart, but Lao Jiang was just happy to hear it.

Upon hearing this, Old Jiang smiled and said happily: "Shihe, this time Zhang Yunfei not only sent a message to apologize, but also prepared to support our central government 30 105mm howitzers, 3,000 shells, 100 Czech light machine guns, and 100 bullets."

"The telegram said that we would also send people to Taiyuan today to receive this batch of equipment, Shihe, and the equipment. You will notify the Ministry of National Defense after a while and send people to you immediately."

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei had supported so many heavy artillery, Wang Shihe also said with emotion: "Commander-in-Chief, the 36th Army is really rich. I guess I bought a lot of heavy artillery from abroad. I actually supported us 30 pieces in one breath, and it was also a 105mm caliber howitzer."

Chiang Kai-shek had long been disgusted by Zhang Yunfei's low posture and big deals. He didn't care whether the 36th Army had money or how many heavy weapons the 36th Army bought abroad.

Lao Jiang thought that with so many heavy artillery and shells, he could form a heavy artillery regiment. If the Japanese want to invade themselves, they will also have suppressive weapons.

Jiang Jiang is now Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year, and his situation is getting worse every year. He is so happy that 30 105mm howitzers are.

Zhang Yunfei's arms completely blocked Lao Chiang's mouth. Not only did he not plan to cause trouble for Zhang Yunfei, he also specifically told Wang Shihe to pass on his own order and not allow everyone to discuss the Ma Bufang incident.

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

In Datong, the special issue printed in the afternoon has been published to the people. I believe that it will not take long before these newspapers will be widely circulated in the base areas. In a few days, with the current influence of the Datong Daily, many Datong Daily will be leaked out of the base areas and appear in front of the people across the country.

Within a few days, I believe that major newspapers across the country will also report on the Ma Bufang incident. However, these newspapers reported that they condemned Ma Bufang and sang praises for the 36th Army.

The day after Zhang Yunfei sent a secret telegram to Jiang Jiang, Zhang Yunfei received a telegram from Chongqing. The telegram did not mention Ma Bufang at all, but thanked Zhang Yunfei for his righteousness. During the difficult period of the National Government, he supported such an important group of weapons and equipment.

Seeing the telegram sent by Jiang Jiang, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly. Now, Zhang Yunfei was completely relieved.

As for Yan'an, seeing that Zhang Yunfei handled the matter well and even settled the Chongqing side, Yan'an did not criticize Zhang Yunfei, but did not praise him.

However, this time, not only did Ma Bufang be eliminated successfully, but the base area of ​​the 36th Army has also expanded several times. In the hearts of the Chairman and others, they were still very happy.

Seeing that everything was successfully resolved, Zhang Yunfei walked to the huge map again. Looking at the vast northwest, Zhang Yunfei's thoughts flew.

Now, the vast Northwest has truly become the 36th Army. The local warlords who are still entrenched in the Northwest will probably have to be a good person this time.

Even the largest warlord in the northwest was destroyed by Zhang Yunfei, and no one dared to come out to speak out, so these little warlords had to think carefully.

These little warlords were afraid that they could only huddle in their own towns and swallowed their anger, not daring to do anything out of line. They were all afraid that they would become the second Ma Bufang.

This is to kill one to warn a hundred, kill a monkey to show the chicken.

Now, ten local security brigades will be stationed in the vast northwest, such as Suiyuan, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia and other places, and even Xinjiang.

A few days later, Zhang Yunfei convened a meeting for everyone to discuss the locations of ten local security brigades.

After several hours of discussion, we finally formed a resolution. The brigades of the ten local security brigades were all stationed in ten major cities in the northwest, responsible for the public security and stability of these cities and their surrounding areas.

The regiments and battalions at the next level of the Guard Brigade, and even companies, are stationed in small and medium-sized cities around the various brigade headquarters, firmly controlling the vast northwest.

The 36th Army should not disperse the infantry to be responsible for local defense and public security. It can focus on military construction and fight the Japanese.

The resolution clearly states that except for Shanxi, the other provinces are stationed in two or three local security brigades, and the defense and public security of Shanxi Province are mainly responsible for the guard division.

The details of the local security brigades are:

The First Brigade was stationed in Jining;

The Second Brigade was stationed in Guisui;

The Third Brigade was stationed in Baotou;

The Fourth Brigade was stationed in Ordos;

The Fifth Brigade stationed in Yinchuan;

The Sixth Brigade was stationed in Lanzhou;

The 7th Brigade was stationed in Wuwei;

The Eighth Brigade was stationed in Xining;

The Ninth Brigade was stationed in Golmud;

The 10th Brigade was stationed in the Hami area.

The above brigades, each brigade has three regiments and three battalions, are mainly equipped with captured Hanyang, Zhongzheng, Type 38 and other rifles, and are equipped with a small number of light machine guns. Each regiment is equipped with 6 60mm mortars.

Such equipment level is basically the same as some of the Kuomintang's miscellaneous troops, but fortunately, due to the support of the Datong base, although the weapon level is relatively backward, the ammunition is still relatively sufficient.

The clothing of these local security brigades is also very different from that of the 36th Army, but it is also olive green military uniforms, which are very similar to the military uniforms of the People's Liberation Army in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Kuomintang basically has no garrison in the above-mentioned cities and regions. These cities and regions only have a small number of miscellaneous local armed forces, or they simply have no army, and they are completely a vacuum.

I believe that with the arrival of local security brigades, the public security in these places will be greatly improved. Some of the original miscellaneous armed forces and local warlords will either be adapted on the spot or withdraw from these areas as the arrival of the security brigades.

Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief of the 36th Army, also serves as the commander-in-chief of this security force.
