Age of Rebirth

Chapter 330: A Way Out

The Yuan Jinghao Department of the Fourth Brigade of the Communist Party led by Liu Tiehan, the Shen Jingshan Department of the Second Artillery Brigade, and the Jiang Yanming Department of the Huangyadong Garrison Brigade became the last straw that crushed the Ningma and Qingma coalition forces. On the issue of whether to withdraw the troops, he is still hesitant, and may form a long-term confrontation with Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli was very surprised by Liu Tiehan's arrival. He glanced at Feng Jiwu and understood what was going on. He wanted to ask Liu Tiehan about the construction of the Taihang Mountain base area and the defense of Pingjin, but the words came to his lips. Swallowed it back again.

He is well aware of the abilities of the old men. If he is not sure, he will not make such a military action, especially Liu Tiehan, who has always been known for his stability. They must have made arrangements for the situation in North China. If he asks, It seems that they don't quite believe in their abilities, but they are not beautiful.

After a brief discussion with them, the following arrangements were made. Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu led the Korean Railway Division of the Third Brigade of the Communist Party of China, the Division of Yuan Jinghao of the Fourth Brigade of the Communist Party of China, the Division of Tong Batu of the Second Brigade of Cavalry, and the Division of Shen Jingshan of the Second Brigade of Artillery The Jiang Yanming Department of the Huangyadong Garrison Brigade quickly moved westward, encircling Lanzhou in Gansu and Xining in Qinghai respectively. [

In view of the fact that Ganma has lost all its main forces, the focus of the encirclement is Xining in Qinghai. The second cavalry brigade is in the center to prevent the other two cavalry in the northwest from sending troops to reinforce. form a deterrent.

After a brief meeting with Liu Tiehan, they each led their troops to complete the mission.

The rout of soldiers all over the mountains and plains opened the eyes of the soldiers of the Grand Division. They surrounded the troops in Yinchuan, Ningxia, and captured more than 5000 stragglers within one day. What surprised the soldiers was that the Ma's army in Ningxia fled first , the massacre was the last to catch up, but they fell behind themselves.

In the first battle of Dressing up Liang, the Japanese Army Division wiped out the cavalry troops of Sanma with more than 6 troops and at the cost of hundreds of casualties, defeated nearly 17 horses of Sanma, and formed an attack on Sanma's lair. It can be said that the result of the encirclement is brilliant.

The number of weapons and medicines and military supplies seized made the soldiers even more happy. In two battles, more than 1 horses were seized, and they were fully equipped.

Tang Qiuli was not interested in the captured weapons and medicines at all. He asked the commander of the Red Army reconnaissance company in Xu Haidong to immediately notify General Xu Haidong, asking him to send troops to the Zhuangzhuang Liang area to clean up the battlefield and accept the weapons and medicines presented by me, Tang Qiuli. .

With more than 1 war horses, Tang Qiuli was reluctant to give any of them to the Red Army. Most of the future battlefields in North China will be fought in the mountains. The devil's blood was drained.

The reconnaissance company commander of the Red Army didn't react for a while after hearing Tang Qiuli's words. He couldn't believe it, and there were troops who didn't want to seize weapons and medicines after the battle. They were either stupid or rich. .

Looking at Tang Qiuli's kind and playful smile, for the first time in his life, the company commander of the Red Army sincerely saluted an army officer with gratitude, and then, almost galloping out, he personally Having experienced the two battles of dressing up Liang, knowing how much material was seized is a huge fortune, and the entire Red Army will change its equipment.

On the 25th, Tang Qiuli led a brigade of guards to the outskirts of Yinchuan. At this time, Yinchuan was surrounded by tens of thousands of army divisions.

The army took in and captured Ningma stragglers sporadically every day. In the suburbs of Yinchuan, a prisoner camp was established, which successively housed more than 1 stragglers. In addition to the 5000 captured on the first day of the siege, the entire camp reached nearly 2 million people.

Ma Hongkui in Yinchuan City was like an ant on a hot pot. He did not expect that the Central Army would take such a big advantage and would not give up. Barrel is average.

The troops brought back from Zhuangzhuang Liang are only tens of thousands of people, and they are all troops of his immediate relatives and cronies. Ma Hongkui is very clear about the combat effectiveness of these troops. Apart from showing off their power and using their own power to amass wealth and promote officials, there is nothing they can do. of.

The ones who can really fight and have combat effectiveness are the troops composed of ordinary farmers and herdsmen. I don’t usually treat them well. The officials are all my relatives and cronies. No, once the army is defeated, those people will run away. Er Jing, these idiots never leave him, but they have no effect other than consuming the small amount of food every day.

He sent telegrams to the two suffering brothers and sisters respectively, asking them about the situation there. The news of their return made Ma Hongkui even more depressed. I can live to that day, it is not what I can say, I have to listen to the central army that besieged the city.

Ma Hongkui sent a request for help to the other two brothers of the same family who did not participate in the battle, expressing his interests and pleading bitterly.

The other two horses also felt that what the old man said made sense. It would not be a big deal to keep this foreign central army in the west. Germany and Jianza stay on the front line and wait and see the situation.

When they woke up, the central army on the opposite side sent them a full meal of cannons, and on their own two wings, there were large-scale troops moving, trying to encircle them. Except for the dead body, nothing was fished out.

Seeing this situation, the two horses turned pale with fright, and retreated in a hurry, along the way.He ran so fast that he was afraid of bringing this disaster to his own territory. The fate of the three brothers of the Ma family was really frightening. [

Ma Hongkui in Yinchuan City lost all hope, and all the methods he could think of were useless. He just didn't think of sending a telegram to the Nanjing Nationalist Government. In his opinion, it was Jiang who sent troops to fight with him. Discuss, that's not asking for trouble!

It's possible to get yourself to Nanjing and put him under house arrest. Jiang's surname is not cheap, and he is ruthless and black!

Ma Hongkui has always wondered why he and his two other brothers, with nearly 20 people, lost all their effort in a few days?I don't even know who the opponent is, and I didn't feel so aggrieved when I played against the Red Army!

Ma Hongkui hid in the mansion all day long, he really didn't want to see his remnant soldiers and defeated generals, there were rumors everywhere in the streets and alleys of Yinchuan, and people were in panic, saying that Chief Ma had offended Chairman Jiang in Nanjing, and Chairman Jiang sent troops to encircle him up.

Hearing these rumors, Ma Hongkui thought of committing suicide, so where is it?When did you offend Jiang?At the Red Army, Lao Jiang was very affectionate to him, just like his own brother. He asked for guns for guns, and guns for guns. How could he turn his face and deny anyone?

Ma Hongkui had everything he could do, and he had already made the worst plan. He transferred his property to his closest relatives and entrusted his family. Then, he closed his eyes, resigned himself to fate, stretched his neck, and waited to be stabbed.

The adjutant came in to report that the central army besieging the city had sent a representative with an important letter to deliver to Commander Ma face to face. Ma Hongkui felt like he had narrowly escaped death. turnaround.

He almost greeted the representatives of the Central Army in the standard of welcoming the imperial envoys of the celestial court and the messengers of God, could he be careless?My own wealth and life are in the hands of others!

As Tang Qiuli's plenipotentiary representative, Zhao Yuhe entered the panic-filled Yinchuan City.

Tang Qiuli was very relieved to let Zhao Yuhe go to Yinchuan to negotiate with Ma Hongkui. The army was overwhelming and everything about Ma Hongkui was in his hands. Zhao Yuhe's going here was thrilling and he could receive the highest courtesy.

When Ma Hongkui saw Zhao Yuhe, he was surprised that he had such a high military rank at such a young age. Except for his immediate family members, ordinary officers would have to be 50 or [-] years old if they made it to colonel.

He didn't dare to neglect at all. Although the visitor was young, he represented the tens of thousands of troops outside the city.

Zhao Yuhe handed over the teacher's personal letter to Ma Hongkui.

Ma Hongkui opened the letter, and a strong and powerful handwriting came into view. The content of the letter was: "Mr. Ma's honorary certificate, I am the commander of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and Tang Qiuli, the commander of the North China Military Division. The two armies are fighting. It's really Nai, Tang is not a belligerent person."

"It's all because of the Ma Chaozong Department of the Ningdong Security Brigade of your department. Gu killed my joint exploration team and guards. Seven people died in 210. Tang made a move and punished him slightly. Unexpectedly, Chief Ma, regardless of right and wrong, wanted to protect his subordinates, and even gathered More than [-] troops from Gansu and Qinghai attacked our troops."

"Our troops had to rise up in self-defense and dress up Liang Yi to fight. First, we wiped out the Gansu troops, and then severely damaged Chief Ma and Qinghai's troops. Considering that we are both Chinese, Tang did not kill them all. Otherwise, given the situation at the time, Ma Commander, are you confident that you can retreat completely?"

"It was not Tang who was at fault for making troubles that caused ordinary soldiers to die on the battlefield, but it was Mr. Ma's mistake that Xining and Lanzhou were now besieged, and Yinchuan was the most important point. What is especially intolerable is that Mr. Ma even indulged his subordinates." , Dingbian County was set on fire, causing the whole city to be reduced to ruins, tens of thousands of people were displaced, their homes were homeless, they were suffering from hunger and cold, crying on the streets, you and I were fighting for the soldiers, why did it hurt the innocent people?"

"Officer Ma's move is based on the anger of the heavens and the anger of the people and the anger of the gods. He settled the people on the border and wrote a bloody letter to express their grievances. They unanimously demanded that Tang should uphold justice and bring Chief Ma to justice to calm the people's grievances. However, Tang remembered the feelings of his colleagues. , I can’t bear to do things to the extreme, originally pointed out a way out for Chief Ma, as for other responsibilities, Tang will take it all on his own!”

After reading the text of the letter, Ma Hongkui breathed a sigh of relief. The life of himself and his family was saved. The North China 29th Army knew that it was Song Zheyuan's army. Where did the younger generation come from?The attack was so ruthless that it wiped out all the money I had accumulated over the past few decades!

Let's see what kind of way of life he pointed out to me?Ma Hongkui took the letter paper at the back and looked at it carefully.

Looking at it, Ma Hongkui's face gradually turned livid, with black lines rising, and the hand holding the letter was trembling uncontrollably.
