The reason why the Ma's army is strong is that, in addition to being well-trained, they also adopted a religious leadership style. Otherwise, the Ma's army's inferiority would have shaken the morale of the army. Even so, the Western Expeditionary Army took Shaanxi with great momentum and sent troops Stabilize the situation in Shaanxi. As for some powerful armed forces in Shaanxi, there is basically no resistance, and they all express their willingness to accept the leadership of the National Defense Army.

Choosing Feng Yuxiang as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition now seems to be correct. Shaanxi in the northwest is better, but in Ningxia, Gansu and other places, the culture and economy are very backward. Starting from the Northwest, the Majia Army in the Northwest is still Feng Yuxiang's old army, so when they hit Ningxia, the National Defense Army was able to mobilize the people to repair the roads damaged by the enemy.

The headquarters sent a telegram to the Western Expeditionary Army, telling them to pay attention to the promotion of cultural policies and other matters while ensuring the speed of the soldiers. Wan Construction Corps, follow closely, and widen the roads wherever they pass, which can play a role in promoting local economic development. After all, roads are the first priority of economic development."

Liu Tianling nodded: "Then you start to dispatch the construction corps, transfer some heavy machinery such as excavators and cranes, let the people in the northwest see, open your eyes, I will arrange another [-] propaganda teams to follow the construction corps, pass Theatrical performances, movies, etc. to publicize the common people,"

The Western Expeditionary Army is fighting in the front, and someone will naturally take over the territory. If it was the past, the Western Expeditionary Army would have to be impatient in this situation, but the National Defense Army separates the local area from the army. Even if the army is stationed in a province, there is no The right to collect local grain taxes, so that the army and the land are separated, and the army does not regard the locality as private property, which is conducive to unified management.

The troops fought a total of four large-scale battles in Ningxia and the Ningxia Majia Army, defeating the main force of Ningxia in one fell swoop, and the remnants of more than [-] cavalry fled into Lanzhou, Gansu.

The roads from Ningxia to Lanzhou were severely damaged, and light tanks had to be repaired to pass through. In order to better protect the road safety, Yang Dong was sent to lead a reorganized cavalry division, and with the cooperation of [-] helicopters, they marched to Dingxi, the gateway of Lanzhou.

It's already spring, and the eastern coast has already grown grass and warblers are flying, but the road here is still very vast, with wasteland everywhere, and no farmland or people can be seen for dozens of miles.

More than 5000 cavalrymen turned over a hill, and there was a nice grassland in front of them. More importantly, there was a river with clear drinking water. Helicopters circled and searched for dozens of miles nearby, but found no potential threats. , The military doctor with the army conducted laboratory tests and tests on the drinking water, and at the same time let several war horses drink water first, and reported it to Yang Dong after there was no problem.

Yang Dong looked at his watch, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still three hours in the dark.

"Pass down the order, rest where you are, and let the horses eat grass and drink water," Yang Dong gave the order.

I have traveled more than 100 miles today, and it is difficult to find a place to camp. The cavalry consumes a lot, and the corn and soybean meal are all supplied by logistics support, but the fresh grass can only be obtained along the way, so Yang Dong took a fancy to this place. , I plan to spend the night here today.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Dong led more than 100 cavalry from the guard company towards a valley in the south. The army wanted to tell the guide that there were bears there. Although spring is not the time to hunt bears, bears are easy to catch.
