Age of Rebirth

Chapter 320: Annihilating Ganma

The head of the regiment who was in charge of luring the enemy to the north reported that the Ma family army had already started shelling Dingbian County. Its vanguard had two divisions, all of which were cavalry. The rest of the troops moved to the surrounding area and surrounded Dingbian County intention.

Ask the division commander, should the troops evacuate the county immediately?When Tang Qiuli heard that Ma's army had artillery, he immediately became alert, and asked whether the enemy's artillery fire was fierce, and whether there were large-caliber artillery?

"Master, there is no large-caliber artillery. Judging from the shelling of Qingma and Ningma, it is at most the size of an artillery regiment. Most of the equipment are mortars. From the point of view, there are only a small number of mountain artillery. The city can already I can hear the sound of the enemy's horseshoes, please instruct our troops to act!" The voice was urgent, obviously the situation was very tense, and the regiment was in danger of being dumped.

"Immediately evacuate the county seat, according to the predetermined plan, select weak enemies along the way, beat them severely, pay attention to tactics!" Tang Qiuli issued an order, and dense gunshots came from the earphones. [

The former commander-in-chief of Ganma learned that the troops in the direction of Wu Zhong had launched an attack on Dingbian County, and immediately ordered the troops to speed up the march, and arrived at Dingbian by dressing Liang. When Tsing Ma fought with the Central Army, from a tactical point of view, it happened to catch them by surprise.

The two cavalry divisions of the Gansu Majia Army acted as forwards, and a force of more than 9000 horses appeared on the horizon and appeared in Tang Qiuli's vision.

The dust from the march of a large number of cavalry came from the south like a dark cloud, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves like heavy thunder. Judging from the cavalry marching ranks of Ganma, they were obviously well-trained. More than 9000 horses marched in the slightest formation. Not chaotic, the one at the front is probably the vanguard of a regiment, about two kilometers away from the brigade.

Such a distance is enough for the large group of cavalry behind to make any reaction, and this cavalry regiment, while marching, is doing fire reconnaissance on the high ground on both sides, cautious and highly vigilant.

Tang Qiuli ordered the ambush troops to spare Ganma's vanguard, and the artillery on both sides were ready for battle. They must use the most violent artillery fire to drive all Ganma's troops into the ambush circle.

Ganma's vanguard cavalry regiment had already passed the ambush circle, and nothing happened. They signaled to the large troops behind that they could pass.

Ganma's large troops finally came up. The soldiers waited all night. Now, the net can be closed, and the ambush positions stretching for more than five kilometers. Commanders at all levels have issued orders to prepare for battle. Liu Chun's artillery brigade, Cannons of various calibers quietly took off their camouflage, and their black muzzles pointed to the sky.

About one-third of Ganma's troops hadn't entered the ambush circle. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the troops, and they stopped advancing, and messengers ran back and forth on horseback to deliver orders.

The commanders at all levels of the *** division were taken aback, what happened?

Tang Qiuli suddenly realized that it must be Ningma and Qingma, who had been in vain in Dingbian County and did not see the main force of the *** division. Feeling that the situation was not right, he reported the information to Ganma's troops .

He immediately ordered Liu Chun to extend the scale of the artillery fire to block the road for the Ganma troops to return to Qingyang. Liu Chun burst into professional terms, and more than 100 large-caliber artillery, with long barrels, slowly raised the angle.

Ganma's chief of staff is indeed a treacherous and cunning guy. After receiving the report from Ningma and Qingma, his first reaction was that it was meaningless to go to Dingbian County by himself. The trap was dug, but there was no prey. He has already fled, and he is a small prey, which does not match the strength that can completely annihilate the Ningdong Security Brigade.

The second reaction is that you can't stay here for a long time. The terrain is dangerous, which is not good for you, but it is conducive to the ambush of the Central Army. There is no main force of the Central Army in Dingbian. Where are they?

Did he lie in ambush somewhere and bite himself hard?From Wuzhong to Dingbian, there is flat saline-alkali land, and there is no dangerous terrain to use. There are more than [-] people in Qingma and Ningma. No matter how big the appetite of the Central Army is, it is impossible to swallow it all at once. Only their own troops are passing The Zhuang Liang is the most suitable location for ambushes with a radius of tens of miles, and in the two directions, the troops are relatively weak.

He suddenly shivered. Looking at the terrain on both sides of the beam, he seemed to see several guns pointing at him. He immediately ordered the troops, the rear team changed to the front team, turned around immediately, and quickly exited Liangshan Road, returning to Qing Yang, the [-]st Cavalry Division was responsible for rear guard cover.

The order was issued in a timely manner. The key is that the troops of more than 4 people took a long time to convey the order to turn around to each of the troops. Ganma's troops were in chaos at that time.

This period of time just gave Liu Chun's Artillery Brigade to adjust the direction of the bombardment and created time. For Ganma's troops, this short period of time will undoubtedly bring them into disaster.

Three red signals were sent out slowly into the sky, and there was a loud bang like an earth-shattering explosion. Counting cannons flew over the Ganma cavalry troops and the central army with strange screams, and landed in the rear guard troops who had just turned around.

The cannon landed, blowing up yellow earth flowers, flesh and blood flying across the sky, broken limbs and arms mixed with broken military uniforms, flying all over the sky, and a terrible blow fell on the heads of the Ganma troops. With one shot, Ganma's rear guard was shrouded in death's steel fragments. [

The dense artillery blasted into a dead wall of fire on the wide mountain road, completely blocking the way for the Ganma troops to return to Qingyang.

On the way back, the Ganma troops who were blown dizzy instinctively rushed forward to avoid the fate of death, and finally all entered the ambush circle. What awaited them was a terrible fate.

On the high loess cliffs on both sides, there was a roar of light and heavy machine guns, and grenades like locusts flew in. The two cavalry divisions of Ganma were the first to bear the brunt, and they were the key targets of the ambushes of the Japanese division. Cannons exploded indistinguishable numbers in the cavalry formation, and the horse and its owner were torn apart.

More than 6 people, ambushing more than 4 people, occupying dangerous terrain, surpassing the superiority of firepower by nearly a hundred times, and there is not much suspense in the battle. Tang Qiuli cloned the military theory of Chairman Mao and his old man, "Concentrate superior forces and attack other One point, forming a superior force in a local area will surely annihilate the enemy," and it worked.

The cavalry regiment in the vanguard heard the indistinguishable number of explosions behind them. When they looked back, the large army was already shrouded in billowing gunpowder smoke.

They were greeted by more than 1 cavalry. The three cavalry brigades of the Grand Division were blocking the way forward. The soldiers lined up, with sabers in their hands, like a forest shining with cold light, in the front row Most of them are light machine gunners, hundreds of light machine guns are in the hands of soldiers on horseback.

The head of the avant-garde cavalry of the Ganma Army wisely chose to abandon the sword, dismount, and surrender. Compared with the cavalry troops of the central army on the opposite side, his own more than 1000 horsemen are different from a drop of water in the ocean, not enough for the opponent Between the teeth.

In less than two hours, the battle ended. There were more than 6000 main forces in Ganma, but only 5000 escaped. More than 5000 were captured, and the rest were all killed.

Tang Qiuli stared at the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke had not yet cleared away, without the slightest joy of victory in his heart. The corpses of Ganma soldiers and fallen horses were covered with a five-six-kilometer-long, wide mountain road, scarlet blood, stained The yellow earth is red.

Because of the huge disparity in troop strength, Tang Qiuli had no choice but to choose this vicious style of attack, otherwise, the one who would be wiped out might be the army division. He would rather use the tactic of encircling and forcing the opponent to surrender than take This kind of tactics of differential shelling.

Those who fell were all Chinese after all. If this was the army of the Japanese, Tang Qiuli would not leave a single one alive, and they would all be reduced to a pile of minced meat.

In the first battle of Zhuangliang, Ganma was completely defeated, and the strategic plan of three horses attacking from two sides and attacking in combination was completely shattered.

The two cavalry divisions of Ganma were wiped out. The army division captured more than 4000 horses, enough to equip another cavalry brigade.

The number of weapons and ammunition piled up like a mountain. It is a pity that they were all broken weapons that the army division looked down on. The only artillery regiment in Ganma was so pitiful that they didn't have time to unload the mortars from the pack horses. All belong to the *** teacher.

Ganma's housekeeping capital was all knocked out, and he lost the last army, especially the cavalry unit that Ganma relied on, and the entire army was wiped out.

Dingbian County, in the evening, Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing, who were sitting in the empty city, talked to each other, mobilized all their troops, and went out in full force, but they just took the empty city, like a punch with all their strength, the target suddenly disappeared, wasting energy Not to mention, I almost shivered, so depressed that I was about to vomit blood.

The main force was about to encircle Dingbian, but was lured by a small force of the Central Army to pursue it in the direction of Inner Mongolia's Etuoke. Fortunately, it was detected early and the troops were pulled back in time.

There is no main force of the Central Army in Dingbian, so where are they?You won't run away after hearing the news, right?Even if they were running away, there should be some traces. Just when the two horses were puzzled and distressed, Qingma's chief of staff ran in in a panic.

He reported the news that the two horses were no less than a bolt from the blue. This morning, in the Zhuozhuoliang area north of Qingyang and south of Dingbian, more than 6000 troops from Qingma were ambushed by the Central Army and almost wiped out , Those who fled back to Qingyang were only 5000 people. The chief of staff of the Ganma Army and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy died on the spot.

The telegram was sent by Gan Ma himself, and there were blood and tears between the lines, and the pain was so painful that Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing hardly believed their ears when they heard the news. They shook a few times and almost fell on the spot.

Brother's army, is this the end?The Central Army deliberately abandoned Dingbian County, and used a small group of troops to attract itself here, but its main force set up an ambush in the Zhuangliang area, and made dumplings for the brothers' troops!

Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing fully understood now, but unfortunately, after the battle was over and the entire Ganma army was wiped out, it was too late, and it was meaningless to go for reinforcements now. [
