The cold wind howled and screamed in my ears.
Just hearing the sound made me feel chilled to the core.
"Quickly, pull everything away."
Ma Ziqi is just a non-staff member of the Ma family.
Although his surname is Ma, he is out of reach of Ma Hongbin and Ma Lin.
At this time, he received an order from his superiors. , with the soldiers in the brigade, Baisheng from Gudengkou demolished the house and took away all the food in Gudengkou to Shizuishan, the gateway to Ningbei.
Focus on fortification in Shizuishan.
"Captain Ma, you said this house has been demolished.
Where can we live when we come back?"
An old man with a goatee in Gudengkou wailed with a mournful face.
"In this cold weather, we have to give people up."
Freezing to death."
"We are Hui people.
The Han people from the north are murderous.
If they come, they will kill all of us.
The houses will be demolished and the beautiful girls will be snatched away by them.
The food belongs to them too.
Move you to I went to Shizuishan to save you.
"You really don't know what is good or bad."
Ma Ziqi said these words as if he was an endorsement from above, and said viciously, "I am also acting under orders.
If you dare not to carry out the orders, then you are collaborating with the enemy.
If you are blamed by the superiors, you will be beheaded." of."
"Ma Ziqi, we are all fellow villagers.
You also came from Gudengkou.
People should not forget their roots."
The village chief of Gudengkou is an old man in his sixties.
His hair is gray, but he is unusually energetic.
Ma Ziqi's family used to be poor.
When I was young, I helped Ma Ziqi's family.
Said something out loud.
"Village chief, didn't I tell him the truth?
If the higher-ups were to blame, I wouldn't have been able to stop him then.
Now I've convinced him.
It's a good thing."
Ma Ziqi respected the village very much and apologized. smiled.
Yes, yes, yes When they started to demolish the house and move the food, the sound of hoofbeats of the brigade could be heard in the distance.
Ma Ziqi and others looked up and saw a dark group of horses scattered in the snow, galloping towards them.
All the people in Gudengkou changed their minds.
There was no one in the northwest who didn't understand horses.
Just looking at the momentum and listening to the sound, this cavalry team contains at least a thousand people.
It is a large-scale cavalry army anywhere, a complete cavalry brigade.
At this time, Ma Ziqi only had a cavalry company of more than 40 people in Gudengkou.
Even if he added up some of the shotguns in Gudengkou, he would not have more than fifty guns.
Facing such a huge enemy, he could only use three rifles.
There are only one word to describe the current situation, it's over. village head.

And the villagers in Gudengkou all looked horrified, if it was really what Ma Ziqi said.
These fellow villagers were not even killed in front of such cavalry.
They didn't even have a chance to escape.
Ma Ziqi's company didn't even have time to lead the horses.
Herod The surging cavalry surrounded dozens of Ma Ziqi's men and isolated the ordinary people.
Steam was rising from the horse's nose, and its hooves tapped the remaining snow on the ground.
"Which army in Ningxia are you from?
Where are you going to demolish the houses?
How will these people survive the winter?"
Xu Sheng rode forward from the separated group of horses.
He was originally the battalion deputy of Jiang Li of the 973rd Battalion.
He never dreamed that he would be promoted from a battalion deputy to the commander of the cavalry brigade with real power in a few months.
If calculated based on the actual strength of the troops under his control, his cavalry brigade is the same as Ma Hongbin's cavalry division in Ningxia.
In terms of weapons and equipment, it is even worse.
Not only him, but others like Zhao Tieshu and Ma Zhuang also rose in rank and authority as if they were flying.
"Here, sir, there is an order from above.
We have no choice but to obey the order.
We are told to demolish all the houses and take away all the food.
We cannot leave food and accommodation for you."
Ma Ziqi trembled.
People are like swordsmen, and I am like fish and meat.
Whatever the other person asks, he can answer whatever he wants.
"These people are willing to follow you like this?"
Xu Sheng asked with a frown.
It can be seen that although these people are not very motivated, no one would like to see the house they have lived in for many years being demolished in the cold weather.
There are so many people present.
No one showed resistance, and it could be seen that these people were not forced.
"Sir, it is said that you Han people in the north will kill people when they see you and rob food when you see them."
The adjutant next to Ma Ziqi added in a low voice.
"It's ridiculous.
Ever since the army led us to fight the Japanese army, we haven't taken a grain of food from the people."
The chief of staff next to him, Deng Tiemei, came up immediately and said, "Brigade, it seems that we have to divide our troops into two groups.
One group is responsible for the front.
Fighting, there is still a way to go Appease these local people.
With the help of these people, we can settle down the hundreds of thousands of people brought here by the army.
Brigadier, you first lead the troops to Shizuishan.
I will make a few more trips to the nearby rural forts to bring them to the village.
These people’s emotions were calmed down.”
Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a cavalry battalion.
You should pay attention to your own safety.
Soldiers are very fast.
I'm going to Shizuishan.
You guys, if you don't want to die, just get on your horse and follow me to Shizuishan.
Mom."
You dare to ruin the reputation of our 45th Army.

Let’s see if the culprits are caught and they will end well.”
"Sir, sir, you don't want our lives?"
Ma Ziqi and the other cavalrymen asked in disbelief.
The Ma's army in the northwest had always been very cruel to their enemies.
The kindness of these enemies going south was beyond their expectations.
"Why do we need your lives?
The northwest is so vast and sparsely populated.
Kill you all.
Who will take care of such a vast place?
However, our 45th Army may not necessarily kill the enemy, but the traitor will only die."
Xu Shenghu said with a face. said.
"Okay, okay, I'll lead the way.
I'm familiar with the road to Shizuishan."
Ma Ziqi said quickly.
Being able to save a life was beyond everyone's surprise.
"We are the 45th Army appointed by the central government.
This time we entered Ningxia under the order of the central government.
It was the war started by the Ma Jiajun.
We are here just to resettle the refugees and organize reclamation.
As for Ma Hongbin, Ma Lin and others are talking about the 45th Army meet people The killing is a complete slander.
We have brought food ourselves, and even if we are short of food, we will buy it with cash from the people."
Xu Sheng rode away with nearly 700 people, and Deng Tiemei also started to treat these ordinary people. ideological work.
"I am the village chief of Gudengkou.
I really don't want our houses or our food," the leader of the village asked in a trembling voice.
"Our 45th Army was withdrawn from the Fengtian battlefield.
Our guns are only aimed at the Japanese and the warlords who prey on the people in the mainland.
They are rebellious and will never compete with the people for food.
If the village chief discovers that soldiers are grabbing food, he will Any act of seizing people's property should be reported to the local military officers as soon as possible, and we will definitely enforce the strictest military laws against soldiers who violate disciplines."
Deng Tiemei said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, Guijun is indeed a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.
It's all the fault of that guy Ma Ziqi for maliciously slandering Guijun.
I won't be able to spare him when he comes back."
The village chief stamped his feet.
"We also hope that the village chief will send people from the village to go with us to the surrounding villages to promote it, so as to prevent the village houses in other places from being demolished.
This winter has just begun, and it will be difficult to live without a place to live."
Deng Tiemei added.
"Definitely, definitely.
Your army is benefiting the people.
It is a blessing for us people to have such a benevolent and righteous teacher come to Ningxia.
I will definitely help your army to stabilize the hearts of the people nearby."
The village chief nodded repeatedly
