Just when Brother Yun Jie, a junior officer of the Yunnan Army, and the snipers exchanged for two hours, and almost talked all night, they had a superficial understanding of the overall quality of the National Defense Force. But that's it, he also sighed, "The world's heroes go out of national defense, and who can be the enemy if they try to break the sword and break the stone." ”

There are people in this world who do not believe in evil, and when the coalition army was about to end its suppression of bandits in Shaanxi, something unexpected happened to everyone, only a Qingma, who had less than a division, actually declared war on the powerful coalition army. When the news reached the headquarters of the National Defense Forces, Duan Zhiquan, who was washing his face, almost didn't touch the basin to the ground, and with the lack of guns and artillery, thousands of cavalrymen actually dared to shake the three divisions of the Wehrmacht armed with aircraft and artillery (Shaanxi public security has been handed over to the Feng army, the Hubei army, and the newly formed Shaanxi public security army), Duan Zhiquan didn't know whether to admire Ma Qi's courage or pity his ignorance.

said that this Ma Qi is also a well-known figure. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Revolution, Ma Qi joined the "Elite Western Army" led by Ma Anliang as a gang leader to crusade against the Shaanxi Revolutionary Army. On the way, the revolutionary army of Ningxia (now Yinchuan City) revolted and established the Ningxia Military Government, and Ma Qi was sent to crusade against the Ningxia Military Government and eliminate it, and he can be regarded as an accomplice of the Manchu reactionary government.

After the establishment of the Republic, Ma Anliang and Ma Qi were stationed in Lanzhou, and were impeached by the Gansu Provincial Provisional Senate for their tyrannical rule. On the instructions of Ma Anliang, Ma Qi sent people to kill Li Jingqing, the chairman of the provisional Senate, but Zhao Weixi, the governor of Gansu, did not deal with this. Ma Qi organized the "Ning Navy" in the first year of the Republic and became another independent Hui armed force in the northwest, using his younger brother Ma Lin, his son Ma Buqing, Ma Bufang, his nephew Ma Buyuan, and Ma Zhongying of the same clan to form a family-type army, and hired Li Dan and others as his staff. The Ning Navy used furs, pharmaceutical raw materials, gold, salt, and other specialties to seek to strengthen its military power. Finally, by now, he has accumulated more than 3,000 rifles and seven or eight thousand cavalry and infantry, and he can be the king and hegemon in the northwest Tiangao Emperor Yuan, and the Qinghai area.

Unexpectedly, in the past year, Shaanxi was occupied by the Anhui system, and the direct family was in full swing, the situation was unclear, Qingma did not dare to rob it, but when they reflected, the coalition led by the national defense army has recovered Shaanxi, the Anhui system fell apart, and Ningxia actually continued to be a shrinking turtle after only a trial. Ma Qi, who was already salivating for Shaanxi, didn't expect the coalition to suppress bandits in full swing, and he saw that there was no chance for him to be stable again. At this time, a group of bandits formed by the Hui people in Suide was exterminated by the 5th Division of the National Defense Army when it sent troops to deal with Ningma, and the dead and wounded fled, a cottage did not survive one in ten, dozens of remnants of bandits escaped, and fled to Qinghai across the Yellow River in gray, but I didn't expect that the inch was very, when the transition was over, robbed a team of merchants who had just returned from Xinjiang, originally wanted to get a little entanglement, but I didn't expect to meet a master who sacrificed his life and gave up his money, and there was a shootout between the two sides, and several people died. The sound of gunfire alarmed the Wehrmacht of a company passing near the ferry, which rushed to the ferry and, without saying a word, fired a burst of machine-gun mortars at the remnants of the bandits, who had been ferried to the center of the river, killing and wounding them, and luckily one of the water-friendly fellows escaped to the other side. Coincidentally, a local elder passed by and rescued this one, and you said that if these two left earlier, it would be fine, but this thankfully Xie Yalong was still urinating on the Wehrmacht pursuers on the other side of the river, as if he was going to be unlucky. This elder didn't know anything either, and he didn't stop him on the side, when these guys of the Wehrmacht were officially full of fire and fire, how could they withstand this kind of provocation, although they didn't dare to open artillery to bombard Qinghai on the opposite side, but the snipers didn't look at the river surface of five or six hundred meters, so one of the snipers and observers of the company simply opened fire at the same time, on the one hand, the other party had no ability to resist, and it didn't count if they peed and disgusted. On the other hand, there are no other targets that need to be searched, two people and one Qin crossbow rifle, and two guns are hitting the target. The guy who didn't have time to lift his pants was naturally dying, and the elder next to him was still a little carried away, but he didn't eat and be frightened, his feet slipped, and he fell into the turbulent Yellow River, and naturally became a water ghost.

Originally, it was the end of it, but although this elder is old and does not cultivate, his identity is mixed well, and he is a little related to the deputy of the Pope of a large temple in Xining, and when the Hui businessman who witnessed everything goes back, this time Qingma is not calm. Ma Qi's family discussed for an afternoon, but decided to take advantage of the opportunity of most of the Wehrmacht to suppress bandits in Shangluo and deal with Ningma in Suide Yulin. Come back from Shaanxi to cut the site and make up for it. With a hot brain, he openly declared war on the Wehrmacht in a telegram.

Qiao Fu, who originally thought it was lively and to see, was not happy for long, because Wang Zhaoming reminded him that this Qingma was declaring war on the republic, not declaring war on Wu Chenxuan by name.

In line with the principle of dealing with things that he can't let his family be idle because he has a headache, he simply threw this situation to the Congress, and let Song Dun worry about them, no matter what the result is, these people are fighting the law, anyway, the dog eats the dog, and it has nothing to do with him President Qiao. If Ma Qi can give a little bit of strength and kill Lan Tianwei's dog leg of Wu Chenxuan, it will be even more joyful, and he President Qiao Da doesn't mind giving a real job as a king of Longxi.

Although the Wehrmacht did not expect that there would be a praying mantis who dared to think that he was a traffic inspection brigade, blocking the road and robbing it, oh it was blocking the road for inspection. However, the characteristics of the national defense army is that the staff is in charge, so after sending troops to Shaanxi and Gansu, the General Staff of the National Defense Force began to formulate various scenarios, such as how to deal with the Ningma confrontation, how to deal with the direct army's sneak attack on the Shaanxi River Defense, and even the Feng Department, the Hubei Army and other large armies should be combined with the National Defense Army to turn their faces of the retreat plan have done three sets, interestingly, there are only two sets of plans for the Qingma heads-up, because everyone thinks that this is a small probability event, compared to the probability of winning the third prize in the lottery is not much bigger, obviously they won the lottery.

Several cavalry from Qingma rolled in and approached the border of Shaanxi. However, the traffic conditions of Qinghai's almost natural grassland make the cavalry-based green horses not go fast, but fortunately, Gansu is already a military vacuum, if you don't count the militia groups of three or two hundred soldiers and bandits in each county, Gansu is a horse hunting ground at the moment. The three cavalry regiments of Qingma's main force entered Lanzhou City only fifteen days after the declaration of war, making this plugged pearl into a large horse circle where a person neighed and screamed.

At this moment, on the highway from Shandong to northern Henan, a large number of towed artillery pieces are being dragged straight to Tongguan by four times the number of artillery pieces, and this independent heavy artillery cluster is already the last wave of the entire reinforcement team. At the same time as receiving the declaration of war, the General Staff activated a set of plans to single-handedly challenge the Qingma, and the Shaanxi Aid Corps with the tutors of the Great Han Sect and the Sheng Tang Sect as the main body had already entered Xi'an through Tongguan five days later, after which they would rush to Qinghai to carry out a roundabout attack and completely uproot the religious feudal forces of the Ma Qi family. In front of these two infantry divisions, there is also a cavalry division that looks like a Mongol, which has rushed over, this is the 11th independent cavalry division led by Hülegü, so Ma Qi did not know that he would face the interspersed encirclement of the three main infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht, a cavalry division and a heavy artillery cluster, obviously his life was on the coffee table.

In Dingxi, the Ninghai Navy held a meeting to discuss the strategy, and some of the surrounding eastern Xinjiang tribes were present, and finally decided to implement the Lanzhou decisive battle plan according to Ma Qi's opinion. In fact, whether it is a decisive battle in Pingliang or in Dingxi, it is Du Zicheng who cannot ask for it, so that the front is short, the supply is sufficient, and Qingma has nothing to defend, and the decisive battle in Lanzhou, although it is not as good as Pingliang Dingxi, but as long as Qingma dares to fight a decisive battle, the most worrying thing for the National Defense Army is that Qingma retreats to the north bank of the west bank of the Yellow River, especially if it retreats to the Qinghai grassland to fight guerrilla warfare with the National Defense Army, although it can finally solve Qingma, but it is bound to delay the recovery of Gansu and Qinghai provinces, and it will take a lot of trouble.

If Qingma retreats to Xinjiang through the Hexi Corridor, it will also be a headache. At that time, Qingma will combine with the True God Army, the main religious battle faction in Xinjiang, and it will certainly not be much easier to solve the problem than it was for Zuo Zongtang to recover Xinjiang back then. However, Qingma himself still fantasized about defeating the Wehrmacht in a decisive battle, so that he could reap a little interest on the fertile soil of Shaanxi with his saber, and at the same time regarded retreating to Xinjiang as a daunting way, so he never thought of doing so, and only urged the True God Army to come to Gan to join the division. Of course, if Ma Qi fooled the two fools of the True God Army to rush to help and let the National Defense Force stew a spoonful, it would be logical to recover Xinjiang in the future, and in this sense, it is reasonable to give Ma Qi a first-class medal.

In fact, at the Dingxi Conference, Chief of Staff Ma Zhongying put forward the idea of not fighting a decisive battle with the National Defense Forces in Lanzhou; he believed that holding on to Lanzhou and winning would be limited to the terrain of Lanzhou, and the counterattack would be fruitless and defeated, and there would be only one Lanzhou Yellow River Iron Bridge as a way to retreat, and if it could not be done, there would be a catastrophe of annihilation. It should be said that Ma Zhongying's plan is closest to the situation feared by the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, or the situation that General Du Da feared, and although it is unlikely to prevent the Wehrmacht from crossing the river along the long Yellow River, the Qingma can attack, defend, or retreat, and there is considerable room for choosing the way to maneuver with the Wehrmacht.

It was still the arrogance of the Ma father and son who denied this plan that could best prolong the life of the green horse, and "there is no way back from defeat" was also said by the chief of staff of the horse.

However, there is more than one smart person, and Ma Buqing is smarter than him, although this kid is the eldest son, but he is not as favored as his younger brother Ma Bufang, he has traveled to the Beijing-Tianjin region with his father, and he has some knowledge, and he is not optimistic about the decisive battle with the National Defense Army. However, he knew that he was powerless to persuade his father and younger brother, so he also kept a hand and detained dozens of shopkeepers of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce into his barracks, but he ate and drank well (using the silver from the shop), and arranged for Qinghai merchants to send a letter to the Shandong Chamber of Commerce in Xi'an. What he didn't expect was that it was this move that kept Qingma from extinction.
