Age of Rebirth

Chapter 320: Three Horses Join Forces

The wind is roaring, the yellow sand is long, and the setting sun outside the Great Wall is blood-red in the dusk. Five thousand soldiers stand awe-inspiring, the wind blows their clothes fluttering, and solidifies into a statue of honor.

210 Seven new tombs, the yellow sand has been inlaid with golden round edges. Ma Chaozong and several of his cronies knelt in front of the tomb. Such a brutal blow.

"Ma Chaozong!" Tang Qiuli yelled softly, Ma Chaozong raised his head, and there was a crisp gunshot. On Ma Chaozong's forehead, there was a blood hole the thickness of a thumb, and his head was stuck in the yellow sand, like a soldier who died in battle. Atonement.

The gun in Tang Qiuli's hand fell to the ground quietly, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, he turned and left, the wind blew his mottled short hair, his back in the setting sun, lonely, lonely but tall and strong. [

The chief culprit is eliminated, why is my heart relaxed and excited?

There were several gunshots behind him, and several remnants of the Ningdong Security Brigade lay down in front of the graves of the sacrificed soldiers.

The reconnaissance company commander of the Red Army greeted Tang Qiuli with anger and questioning in his eyes, why did he shoot the prisoners?After all, you are the army of the Communist Party, and you cannot change your brutal nature.

Tang Qiuli gave him a cold look, and here he comes again, don't ask me according to your rules, masters do not leave murderers and scum, in Tang Qiuli's dictionary, there is no such thing as kindness and forgiveness.

The reconnaissance company commander of the Red Army felt a chill in his heart. Although Tang Qiuli didn't say a word, his gaze was as cold as a knife, and it suddenly pressed against his throat. The words that came to his lips were forced back abruptly. .

This glance filled him with fear towards this young general of the Communist Party. In front of him, he could not muster any courage. his whole life.

In the Battle of Andingbao, the Ningdong Security Brigade had more than [-] troops, and the entire army was wiped out. They survived, and the brigade commander Ma Chaozong and his three regiment leaders were killed by drinking.

The news was quickly conveyed to Ma Hongkui by the original Ningdong Security Brigade and soldiers left behind in other stations. Fleeing away, the Japanese army occupied a barracks with four doors wide open and one person empty.

Ma Hongkui was extremely furious, and he didn't feel sorry for death. He was not very sad for his nephew Ma Chaozong. Think of asking about what happened in detail.

What puzzled Ma Hongkui was that instead of attacking his own Ningdong Security Brigade, the Communist Party's Red Army did it, but the Central Army did.

But on the issue of fighting the Red Army, we are all in the same group. How can we turn our faces when we turn our backs?I, Ma Hongkui, am not a soft persimmon, so easy to pinch Gu, since you made the first move, can't you wait to be beaten even if you are hungry?

Regardless of whether you are the Central Army or the Red Army, if you move the food in my bowl and occupy my territory, my old horse will fight with you, or else, are there still others?

Ma Hongkui immediately sent an urgent telegram to Qingma and Ganma, explaining the situation and the stakes in detail. Of course, Ma and Gan Ma knew the stakes. Ningxia fell into the hands of Lao Jiang, and the next target of the Central Army was Gansu and Qinghai.

It's just that they, like Ma Hongkui, have a problem that confuses them. How can the Central Army fight against the Red Army if they don't fight?

In any case, the Central Army is Lao Jiang's team, and it's useless to argue with him, just fight. The Northwest has always been the territory of the Ma brothers. return.

The Red Army is so powerful, and Chiang Kai-shek's army of more than 100 million people was helpless. It was because our Northwest Five Horsemen teamed up and wiped out the entire army.

Qingma, Ganma and Ningma gathered in Yinchuan, held an emergency military meeting, and decided to set up a joint front-enemy headquarters in Wuzhong City, Ningxia. .

The other two horses, because the battlefield was far away from them, were not in a hurry. Although they were of the same clan, surname, and teaching, they did not send troops, but they supported a large amount of munitions.

In fact, the five horses of the Northwest have also been the local emperors for a long time, and they can't tolerate any grievances. As long as they send a telegram to the Nanjing Nationalist Government, the truth will be revealed to the world. [

They urgently dispatched troops and generals, and they didn't even know who the opponent was. Is there any way to fight this battle?

All of a sudden, the frontlines of Dingbian, Yanchi, and Huianbao were covered in clouds of war, and the Northwest Five Horsemen united again to deal with external forces.

Ningma, Ganma, and Qingma dispatched a total of 14 troops, divided into two directions, and pressed towards Dingbian at the junction of Shaanxi and Ningxia.

Ganma's troops, starting from Qingyang, Gansu, included the 29rd Division, 87th Division, 6000th Division, and the First and Second Cavalry Divisions of the Gansu Division, totaling more than [-] troops.

Qingma's troops departed from Xining in Qinghai, passed through Zhongwei in Ningxia, and joined Wuzhong and Ningma's troops. They included the 53rd Army of the Qingma Division, the 3000th Division, the [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]rd Mixed Brigades of Cavalry, A total of more than [-] troops.

Because he was fighting on the territory of Ningma, Ma Hongkui concentrated all his troops on the front line of Wuzhong, including the 39th Army, 28th Army, 47th Division, and all the first and second cavalry divisions, totaling more than 3000 troops.

In this way, on the line from Wuzhong in Ningxia to Qingyang in Gansu, the total strength of the Sanma has reached 17, of which there are four divisions and three brigades of more than 5 cavalry alone, which is also the total of the Sanma The elite army is the capital they depend on for survival, and the old bottom of looking after their homes.

Tang Qiuli thought of the three horses teaming up to fight against him. After all, the five horses in the Northwest are masters in gang fights. 12 to [-] people is already the limit, but I didn't expect it to be so many.

The three horses frequently mobilized their troops, and the information had been learned by Tang Qiuli. He looked at the information and felt dizzy for a while. The total force of the three horses was three times that of his own, and the cavalry was more than three times that of his own. The only advantage he had was artillery power.

This battle is a bit difficult to fight. As the saying goes, "there are many ants, and the elephant is killed." Sanma is desperately fighting against himself. The troops of the Grand Division must arrive before noon tomorrow at the earliest. Forces, attacking across the board, attacking Dingbian overnight, I can only lead Liu Chun's cavalry brigade and Tang Qiuquan's special warfare detachment, and my guard brigade abandons the city and escapes.

Leave this mess to Xu Haidong's Red 25th Army. As for whether it is to guide Yan'an in the south of the disaster, I don't care about righteousness. I have more than 6000 horses, and I am not submerged in the crowd of three horses.

That night, it was tense and restless. Dingbian City, which was calm on the outside, was filled with a tense atmosphere inside. The commanders at all levels of the Grand Division stayed up all night.

Tang Qiuli dispatched the Red Army reconnaissance company left behind by General Xu Haidong, the entire special warfare detachment, and part of the security brigade to monitor the movement of the Sanma troops in all directions. news.

What worried him was that Brother Qiuquan personally led the special warfare detachment to the front line to investigate the situation of the three horses. can happen.

The radio keeps sending news that the Sanma troops on the line from Qingyang to Wuzhong have no signs of attacking at present, but the troops are frequently mobilized. The Sanma troops have many numbers and are complicated. My scouts have already mixed into their troops. Learn more about the situation.

Called to ask if it would be easier for the commander to understand the situation if he came back with his tongue. Tang Qiuli was taken aback. It was in his own interest to maintain a relatively confrontational situation. Sanma didn't know how many troops he had in the Dingbian area.

They didn't dare to attack rashly, they grabbed their tongues and stimulated the three horses. If they launch an attack, they will not be able to resist with this little force in their hands. Don't act rashly. What you need most now is time. Immediately order the reconnaissance troops, everything is no longer disturbing the three horses as the highest criterion for action.

The long night finally passed, and nothing happened. Sanma's troops still stayed at the original location, but, after last night's mobilization, Sanma's troops formed two heavy groups.

In the direction of Qingyang, Gansu, the Ganma troops are the main force, with a strength of more than 6000.

In the direction of Wuzhong in Ningxia, Qingma and Ningma are the main forces, with a force of about 12.

Tang Qiuli kept looking for various locations on the map, and Zhao Yuhe said softly beside him: "Master, from the situation of the three horses' troop deployment, their attempt is to form two attack arrows and use Wu Zhong's Ning The horses and the green horses are the main ones, attacking me from the front, and the Gan horses attacking my flanks, causing our troops to disperse, and after taking out one of my troops with the superior force, concentrate all the troops to force me to fight decisively."

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe approvingly. He admired this young chief of staff. Zhao Yuhe could always analyze the opponent's intentions in complicated situations and provide him with correct advice. [

Tang Qiuli didn't see the intention of the three horses. If the current situation remained unchanged, the three horses divided into two groups and formed a pincer-shaped offensive against him, which would inevitably force him to divide his troops to fight, making the already less than the number of troops to deal with , is not dominant in that direction.

It will inevitably be a tragic fight, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory, the casualties of the troops will make the army shattered, what will be used to deal with the army devils in the future?

What's more, the troops of the Grand Division are on the way now, Tang Qiuli kept sending telegrams, urging Feng Jiwu to speed up the march, but it took time, he could only swallow his saliva, looking at the tens of thousands of troops on the road, swallowing Spit.

It almost drove Feng Jiwu crazy. He knew that the military situation was urgent, but the road conditions in Shaanxi were really bad. This unit immediately revoked its designation, and the soldiers were randomly assigned to other units.
