The beacon of youth

Chapter 475

Can't stand it anymore

The reserve team of the 3th Brigade of the Qingma Army Cavalry was spotted by the artillery observation post of the People's Liberation Army when it was moving forward, and the cavalry was blown away by a sudden artillery attack. The regiment leader had no choice but to send their brigade commander Ma Chengxian He shouted out his orders, and said that he would go back to Qinghai and kill all the family members of the deserters. "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name" (it only takes [-] seconds for a genius to remember)[.]

Not to mention, the shout of the head of the Second Cavalry Regiment is really effective. The brigade commander Ma Chengxian is a famous murderer in the Qingma Army. I can hold him down personally, and he said that after returning home, he will indeed be able to kill the family members of the deserters.

Thinking of this, the soldiers of the Ma Family Army no longer dared to run away. Fighting with the Communist Army would mean death, and even their wives and children would have to die if they fled back. It would be better to fight with the Communist Army here, and die as soon as they die. There are no people who have such thoughts A few, the soldiers rushed out from the blockade area of ​​​​the shells, screaming.

The violent explosion made Ma Chengxian, the brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade, startled. This guy was murderous, fierce, and reckless, but he was not stupid. Not only was he not stupid, but he also had battlefield experience. Ma Shangwu, the chief of staff beside him, said: "Shangwu, go and see quickly, is there something wrong with our second regiment?"

Not long after, Ma Shangwu, the chief of staff, reported to Ma Chengxian with a trembling face: "The Second Regiment was spotted by the artillery of the Communist Army when it was moving forward, and suffered heavy casualties."

Ma Chengxian's head boomed, and he grabbed Ma Shangwu's neck and shouted: "How many people are left, tell me the truth, how many people are there?"

Ma Shangwu said with a crying voice: "Brigade Commander, there are less than 1000 people, and the second regiment only rushed over with less than 1000 people. It's too miserable. The corpses of the brothers will fill the ditch."

Ma Chengxian, who let go of his hand, muttered to himself: "What about him, how can the Communist Army be so powerful? One of my regiments was wiped out by two-thirds before it was able to take the photo with the Communist Army. What's the matter with this battle?" beat?"

Chief of Staff Ma Shangwu thought for a while, and came forward to suggest again: "Brigade Commander, there are two ways. One is to retreat immediately to get rid of the attack of the communist army, and the other is to ask the Eighth Cavalry Division for reinforcements. If Commander Ying can send troops over, we can ensure that the position is not lost. [This chapter is provided by you]”

Ma Chengxian sighed: "I proposed the decisive battle with the communist army at the Guguan pass, and I expressed my determination to the eldest son and the old commander. How can I behave in the future if I withdraw before the battle is over? How can I talk to the old commander?" Forget it? Let’s ask the Eighth Cavalry Division for help, please-beg-them-reinforcement.” Ma Chengxian shouted the last sentence.

Ma Chengxian was really unwilling to ask the Eighth Cavalry Division for help, but now he really had no choice but to let go of his old face.

A communications soldier ran over panting: "Brigade—Brigade Commander, I can't get through the phone, the line was blown up by the communist army's artillery fire."

Ma Chengxian kicked the communication soldier around: "You bastard, you are all rubbish, won't you send someone over if you can't get through the phone? You are all dead? En?"

Guguan Houshan, Qingma Army Cavalry Eighth Division Division Headquarters, Division Commander Ma Yingzheng is sitting in a big chair with closed eyes and resting his mind. It is a Taishi chair specially brought from his hometown in Qinghai, and there are a lot of officers of all levels beside him. , these officers, look at me, look at you, none of them dare to speak, the [-]th Cavalry Division and the [-]th Brigade are only a few kilometers away, the sound of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade fighting with the People's Liberation Army in front is clearly audible, but they are standing aside Watching the excitement, I really can't sit still.

A junior officer quickly came over and whispered into Ma Ying's ear: "Master, the [-]th Brigade has sent someone for help, and they are just outside the door."

Ma Ying snorted: "What? The battle has just been fought for more than an hour and they can't sting anymore? Isn't their brigade commander Ma Chengxian very capable!!! Why did this come to my head? Let them wait outside .”

After being silent for a while, someone finally spoke. This is a veteran officer of the Eighth Cavalry Division. It is because he has been in this unit for a long time that he dared to say a few words at this time: "Master, no matter what, We are all from the Qingma Army. Since Ma Chengxian came to us, it means that this kid has bowed to you. It’s not good if we don’t go to the rescue, let alone the old commander (Ma Bufang) who is far away in Qinghai. Even the eldest son (Ma Jiyuan) is not easy for us to pass, so, in my opinion, we should go to reinforce it."

After pondering for a while, Ma Ying said slowly: "Okay, according to your wishes, tell the communications soldiers of the 5th Brigade to go back, and tell their brigade commander, hold on for another [-] minutes, and our reinforcements will arrive soon."

After finishing speaking, the division commander Ma Ying closed his eyes again, leaned back on the chair without making a sound, and the horseshoe watch on the table clanged. In the blink of an eye, 5 minutes passed, and he did not see that Master Ma of the Qingma Army was there. What kind of action, the subordinates stared at each other and didn't know what to do, these subordinates thought, didn't our teacher let the 5th Brigade hold on for the last [-] minutes, why there is no further comment?

One 5 minutes passed, two 5 minutes passed, and later I don’t know how many 5 minutes passed. Master Ma Yingma still didn’t respond at all. Finally, someone figured it out. It seems that the master wanted to let ten If the Fourth Brigade loses a little more strength and fights with the Communist Army, then he will clean up the mess.

Ma Ying, the commander of the [-]th Cavalry Division, really thinks so. Although the [-]th Cavalry Division is larger than the [-]th Brigade, it also has more personnel than the [-]th Brigade, but its weapons and equipment are far less sophisticated than the [-]th Brigade, and there is no reinforcement Neither the Artillery Battalion nor the Heavy Firepower Battalion was as favored by Ma Bufang as the Fourteenth Brigade, so in terms of combat effectiveness, the Fourteenth Brigade was no worse than the Eighth Cavalry Division. It was for this reason that Ma Chengxian, the commander of the Fourteenth Brigade, never He never lowered his head in front of his senior, or even said a single polite word, and even slapped himself on the table and stared at him at the meeting hosted by the eldest son Ma Jiyuan a few days ago. To deal with this kind of person, you have to find The opportunity kills his spirit.

Ma Ying, the commander of the Eighth Cavalry Division, wanted to use the hands of the People's Liberation Army to kill the spirit of Ma Chengxian, the commander of the [-]th Brigade, but at this time the [-]th Brigade really couldn't stand it anymore. In the subsequent battles, they were incompletely beaten, but the armored assault troops of the People's Liberation Army did not suffer any major losses, and fighting has become a one-sided trend.

After using the second regiment of the reserve team that had been blown up by two-thirds, the battle line only stabilized for more than half an hour before it failed again, because the second echelon of the People's Liberation Army also launched an attack, and the pressure from the [-]th Brigade of the Qingma Army getting bigger.

Ma Chengxian in the frontline headquarters looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time, and at the end he couldn't help asking: "Shangwu, didn't the Eighth Cavalry Division let us hold on for the last 5 minutes? Their reinforcements will arrive soon, but now Look, how long has it been, why haven't their men arrived yet?"

The chief of staff, Ma Shangwu, changed from his previous calm appearance, and shouted angrily: "Brigade Commander, I just sent someone out to look at it. The Eighth Cavalry Division didn't send troops over at all, only some scouts wandered around us. It seems that Commander Ma Ying still wants our [-]th Brigade to lose a little more troops, Brigadier Commander, if we go any further, our [-]th Brigade will have to be handed over here, so hurry up and withdraw."

Ma Chengxian gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Okay, let's withdraw, pass on my order, let the front hold on for a while, and order the third regiment to withdraw from the mountain behind Guguan."

Ma Chengxian, the brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade of the Qingma Army, wanted his third cavalry regiment, which was relatively complete, to withdraw first, so as to open a passage for the troops behind.

The head of the third cavalry regiment was named Ma Chenglu, a distant brother of the brigade commander Ma Chengxian, and an absolute confidant of Ma Chengxian. After receiving the order, he immediately led a regiment of troops to retreat from the back mountain.

On the back mountain of Guguan, the People’s Liberation Army Independent Brigade has set up an ambush position. The three battalions have been lying here for more than two hours, and there is still no movement around. Shouting his dry tobacco pot in the trench, he didn't look anxious at all, he just ordered the troops to enter the position and prepare for battle, and there was no extra sentence left.

Wang Huo's idea is to let his fifth battalion defend the front to block the retreating troops of the enemy's fourteenth cavalry brigade, use Wei Gang's machine gun battalion to fortify behind the fifth battalion, and defend against possible reinforcements from the enemy's eighth cavalry division. The reconnaissance battalion is used as a reserve team for wearing cha troops.

There are more than 3000 people in the three battalions, which is already the size of a large regiment of other troops. Wang Huo, a soldier from the Eighth Route Army, is very handy in commanding, and he doesn't feel unfamiliar because of the large number of people. One of the important reasons why Li Brave felt relieved to hand over such an army to him.

Others had no doubts about Wang Huhu's arrangement. Only Zhang Jinsong, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, muttered a few words, saying that it was meaningless to be in the reserve team, and fighting was not fun.

Zhang Jinsong and Wang Huo have been comrades-in-arms for many years. Wang Huo can tell what's going on even with his eyes closed. Wang Huo, who doesn't talk much, doesn't even bother to explain. , Execute the order, you are an old soldier, don’t you know the intention of my arrangement?”

The whimpering Zhang Jinsong took his soldiers back. Of course he knew the intention of Wang Huo's arrangement. Most of the reconnaissance battalion was equipped with infantry light weapons. The firepower was far worse than that of the Fifth Battalion and the Machine Gun Battalion. It is indeed not as good as the Fifth Battalion and the Machine Gun Battalion to block the gap. Wang Huo's command is not wrong.

Just as the soldiers were waiting more and more impatiently, there was a burst of hooves from the front, which was the unique sound of many horses galloping together. The soldiers were shocked, hey, finally came up.
