The beacon of youth

Ma Hongkui, the native emperor of Ningxia, has countless descendants in his life, but most of them are mediocre people, and there is basically no one who can stand alone. Like Ma Bufang's eldest son Ma Jiyuan, who can lead the army in battle, there is no one. Ma Hongkui is helpless. I had no choice but to use my second son, Ma Dunjing, and let him lead Ning Majun to continue to deal with the People's Liberation Army after he ran away.

Ma Hongkui's approach is like pulling out a big man from a scorpion. Although the second son is not very good, he is a little bit better than the other sons, or he is bigger than the commander of the Tenth Cavalry Army. His son is much better. There is no way to do it. He also knows that Ma Dunjing is not very good, but under the influence of feudal patriarchal concepts, he has no choice but to do so. to others

At the beginning of being appointed by his father, the second son Ma was full of confidence, thinking that he was entrusted with a great mission from heaven, and he was able to make great achievements, so he tried his best to come up with a three-line defense method to deal with the People's Liberation Army. A line of defense is a loose line of defense supported by Tongxin, Jingyuan and Jingtai, but I don't know if this big-headed second son Ma has seriously thought about it, just so few people, so little strength, and put it alone far away from the main force. Can the defense zone be hundreds of miles away from the attack of the People's Liberation Army?

At around [-]:[-] p.m., Zhang Jinsong, the reconnaissance battalion commander of the du li brigade, brought a few soldiers who were out on missions, to the brigade commander Li Yong's car. A few minutes later, political commissar Wang Chengde also drove away. Come here, an impromptu field conference has been held

After listening to Zhang Jinsong's introduction to the enemy, Wang Chengde suggested: "Dayong, it will be dark in a few hours before three o'clock in the afternoon. Are we waiting for a few hours before it gets dark? Use the veterans of our army way to kill them"

The old method Wang Chengde said was that the People’s Liberation Army traditionally took advantage of night battles to wipe out the enemy. The Eighth Route Army and the later People’s Liberation Army were used to fighting at night. Whenever they encountered difficult bones, they liked to use the cover of night to wipe out their opponents. In the words of veterans , at night, our People's Liberation Army's world, but Li Yong, the brigade commander, doesn't think so

Li Yong laughed and said, "Hey, old Wang, you are too timid. Of course, night battles are our PLA's superior project, but that depends on who it is for. He is not worthy of the soldiers of the Ningma Army in front of us." Let's be opponents, kill them during the day, and have dinner after the battle is over."

Li Yong is not blindly arrogant, nor is he proud and complacent, but relies on the strength of his troops and the confidence brought by his full understanding of the enemy. Concentric is a 81th Cavalry Regiment of the Ning Ma Army, Jingtai's is the first cavalry brigade, and Jingyuan only has a small number of troops from the 81st Army. Li Yong, the 81st Army of the Ningxia Majia Army, did not even think about it. They will not attack the People's Liberation Army because the 81st Army is Ma Hongbin's army, and the team of Mr. Ma Hongbin will naturally have other methods to deal with it.

At this time, I will mention an old man named Guo Nanpu. The old man is an old Chinese doctor in Ningxia. He is very influential in the upper class. He was appointed by Commander Yang Dezhi and Political Commissar Li Zhimin. Li Yong, the special envoy of the People's Liberation Army's westward march, estimated that the old man Guo Nanpu was about to leave at this time, and he would handle the 81st Army of the Majiajun, or let the old man Guo Nanpu do the work

It was precisely because of his understanding of the whole incident that Li Yong boldly focused all his energy on the First Brigade of the Ningma Army in front of him.

The first brigade is Ma Hongkui's recently expanded unit. Its nature is a bit like the first division of the Qingma Army in the Lanzhou Battle. They are all formed to deal with the People's Liberation Army. Much less than the first division of the Qingma Army

Jingtai, the headquarters of the first brigade of the Ningma Army. The brigade commander Zhang Qinwu is thinking nervously. The first brigade is mainly composed of cavalry. One of the biggest characteristics of cavalry is fast speed. Well, the cavalry reconnaissance post of the first brigade has been placed a lot, and it is still far away, so far away that he, the brigade commander, has a very clear understanding of the battle situation

Although the Ning Ma Army is Ma Hongkui's team, it is still subordinate to the Kuomintang army's battle order in terms of organization. According to the habits of the Kuomintang army, the rank of brigade commander can be a major general. Of course there must be a gold star on the shoulder

Logically speaking, this is a good thing. A man who doesn’t want to be a general, Zhang Qinwu is the same, but now Zhang Qinwu is not happy at all, one brigade, one brigade, the name is very smooth, and it sounds quite acceptable Listen, but who knows the difficulty in his heart, the improvised brigade has only more than 1000 people with guns, and the commander of the Ningxia Majiajun Ma Dunjing put this brigade alone in Jingtai. The closer it gets, the more than 1000 horses can serve as cannon fodder may not be enough

While Zhang Qinwu was thinking, the sound of footsteps came, all the main officers of the first brigade came, and they came to the meeting according to Zhang Qinwu's request. The expressions on everyone's faces were not relaxed. stand up

The air in the brigade headquarters was dull. After a long time, it was Zhang Qinwu who spoke: "Everyone, you all know the situation very well. How will our brigade take the next step and how can we overcome this difficulty? What can everyone do? Tell me listen"

The room was filled with the pungent smell of burning cigarettes. The brigade commander Zhang Qinwu had been speaking for several minutes, but no one answered.

Zhang Qinwu had no choice but to directly roll the roll, pointed to a rough-looking officer and said, "Battle Commander Wang, tell me."

The officer Zhang Qinwu called Battalion Commander Wang spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth with a puff, and said in a muffled voice: "He's nainai, what else can I say, as far as we are not enough people, the People's Liberation Army can't get enough of it." Yes, what kind of bullshit can you come up with?"

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but with the first person to speak, the next one will be easier. Another officer said: "Brigade Commander, what Battalion Commander Wang said is the truth, the People's Liberation Army's large troops are coming, what should we do with them?" Confrontation, in my opinion, if it doesn’t work, let’s run away, anyway, I have four legs, and the People’s Liberation Army won’t be able to catch up in a while.”

The Majiajun in Ningxia is a miscellaneous brand in the Kuomintang team, and this first brigade is a miscellaneous brand in the Ningma Army. This seemingly good position can only be held by Zhang Qinwu, a foreigner. Most of these officers have nothing to do with the Ma family, so they have no desire to fight the People's Liberation Army to the end.

There was a lot of discussion in the brigade, but everyone was more unified in thinking that fighting was impossible, and there was no way to win. Most people's opinions were inclined to run away, and the farther away from the People's Liberation Army, the better.

Opinions are opinions, and the final decision has to be taken by brigade commander Zhang Qinwu. Everyone knows this truth, and the last eyes are on the silent brigade master

"Run? Where are we going? Chairman Ma Hongkui can fly by plane, and commander-in-chief Ma Dunjing can also fly by plane. How do we run? Where is the head? We pat our buttocks and run away. Who will take care of our wives and children?"

Zhang Qinwu's words made the meeting room quiet again, yes, it is easy to get there, but where is the head?The whole of China is about to be captured by the People's Liberation Army, where is there a place to stay? ?

It was the same battalion commander with a loud voice who shouted: Brigadier, just make up your mind, we will follow you no matter what you say, everyone is with you whether it is life or death

The brigade commander Zhang Qinwu was a little moved, the brothers gave their wealth and life to himself: "Brothers, running away is not an option, and we have nowhere to go. In my opinion, if it is really impossible, let's just revolt. The war is chaotic." In these years, if you can find a way for your brothers to live, you will be considered to have accumulated great virtues, and the PLA will not kill us."

The meeting of the first brigade was at a critical moment when a soldier broke in through the door with a bang. The soldier wiped the sweat off his face and said loudly, "Seniors—sirs, it's not good, the chief of the People's Liberation Army The troops are coming"

It was a cavalry reconnaissance post sent by the first brigade to report. The miscellaneous troops are not so particular. The soldier opened the door and ran in when he was in a hurry. The venue was disturbed by the sentry. Zhang Qinwu slapped Desk: "Calm down, don't panic, how far is the People's Liberation Army from us? How many people can come?"

Report sir, the People's Liberation Army is coming in a large force, and we are less than ten miles away. I didn't see exactly how many people there are, and I didn't dare to go up to take a closer look. However, there must be tens of thousands of people, okay? Guys, they all come here by car, with tanks and cannons lined up all over the place, it's frightening to watch

It was less than ten miles away from Jingtai, and the speed of the advancing Du Li brigade was very fast. The brigade commander Li Yong ordered the tank battalion of the leading troops to take the lead in attacking under the cover of artillery fire.

More than 100 artillery pieces aimed at Jingtai's Ningma Army [-]st Brigade and fired several salvos in a row. The artillery fire shook the sky, there were no planes in the sky, and there was no force on the ground that could fight against the artillery of the Duli Brigade. All of them were cavalry The brigade formed had no power to fight back. Gao Xiang led the soldiers to fight happily. With the waving of the red flag in the hands of the artillery commander, the position of the brigade was blown up beyond recognition (to be continued)
