Chapter 188 The annihilation of the Ma family's army is over

Far away from the battlefield, Ma Hongkui turned his head to see that the 20,000 troops of Ningma were about to be killed in this nameless place, which made Ma Hongkui feel quite melancholy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He sighed abruptly and shed two lines of tears, but he can live to be the king and hegemon until now, and he is naturally a ruthless and hard-hearted person, so he only hesitated for a while and finally fled decisively.

The Ma Jiajun seems to be powerful, but in fact everything depends on the high mobility of the cavalry, and its tactics are still stuck in the nineteenth century, at least fifty years behind the modern army.

Ma Hongkui's delay in this arrangement, far from reversing the decline of Ningma, gave the Red Army an opportunity to reinforce its position, and when Ma Jia's army attacked the Red Army's position again, the Red Army's artillery, light and heavy machine guns had formed an impenetrable and powerful firepower network.

The dense network of firepower obscured the sky and the sun, forming a fan blockade line within the current three hundred meters of the blocking position, and this area had become a place of death that Ning Ma Bu could not cross, and all the lives that entered this range were dealt a fatal blow like a storm.

Ning Ma knew that he was dying, but under the leadership of "Ma Hongkui", he continued to rush to the death zone, and his blood and courage are indeed awe-inspiring, but the rigidity and stubbornness of his combat thinking also make people feel sad and ridiculous.

Zhang Cheng witnessed this scene, and couldn't help but sigh: "Although these soldiers of the Ma Family Army have bad deeds, they are also good soldiers on the battlefield, but it is a pity that they do not have a commander who is familiar with modern warfare. Modern warfare is fought with firepower, and without firepower, it is just the courage of a man to talk about bravery, and blood. ”

The other Red Army soldiers did not have so much emotion as Zhang Cheng, at this time they were already immersed in the pleasure of killing the enemy, and the more fierce the Ma Jiajun charged, the faster they died under the blockade of powerful firepower.

It's a pity that there is no one in the Ma family's army, they wield sabers and desperately want to rush into the position of the Red Army, but they were either knocked to the ground by machine gun bullets or torn to pieces by shells, and the troops behind watched the troops in front rush up to death one by one, and gradually gave birth to fear, huddled together one by one to keep warm, but let themselves die faster.

When the 1st and 13th Divisions, which had already wiped out Qingma, also rushed to reinforce and formed a front and rear flanking attack with the 3rd Brigade, the Ningma soldiers gradually despaired, since there was the first example of surrendering to the Red Army, the surrender soon spread, and the surrounding gunfire gradually became sparse.

Seeing that Ma Jiajun was killed and wounded, Zhang Cheng, the enemy of the destruction of the Western Route Army in history, also felt that he had almost retribution, and thought that Ma Jiajun still had some small achievements in the War of Resistance against Japan, so he ordered the comrades of the Political Department to launch a political offensive against it, and ordered the remnants of Ma Jiajun to raise their hands and surrender.

A bold comrade stood in front of the remnants of Ma Jiajun's army, and persuaded Ma Jiajun in the familiar Ning Provincial dialect: "Brothers of Ma Jiajun, you have been surrounded by our army, and if you continue to fight, it will be a dead end, and it will only increase casualties." Our army has a policy of taking prisoners, as long as you lay down your arms and raise your hands to surrender, our army guarantees your personal safety. ”

"In addition, the commander-in-chief of Qingma, Ma Yuanhai, and many brigade commanders and regiment commanders led thousands of soldiers surrendered to our army, and as prisoners of our army, they were all treated very well, and the wounded were also treated."

"Lay down your arms, our Red Army will do what it says, and we promise to treat prisoners preferentially."

If this bold comrade said these words to Ma Jiajun before the war, he was guaranteed to be torn to pieces by them, but under the strong military strength of our army, those Ma Jiajun who rushed the most fiercely were already dead, and most of the rest were cowards, all who wanted to save their lives, and after listening to the persuasion of the Red Army to surrender, the enemy in the encirclement fell into a commotion.

The brigade commanders and regiment commanders of the remnants of the Ma Jiajun found "Ma Hongkui" one after another, but when they saw the true face of "Ma Hongkui," they were shocked to find that "Chairman Ma," whom they respected as a celestial person, was an impostor.

Seeing that Ma Hongkui abandoned the troops and fled by himself, he felt that the abandoned and fooled officers still had the idea of being loyal to Ma Hongkui, so they raised their hands and surrendered to our army.

Zhangcheng's horse killing battle was a complete victory, in this battle Shaozong and the 13th Division of the Fifth Army Corps joined forces to annihilate nearly 80,000 Ma Jia's army, of which more than 40,000 were killed, more than 30,000 people were captured from the former enemy's commander-in-chief Ma Yuanhai, and 18 mountain artillery, more than 40 mortars, and more than 800 shells were captured; There were more than 100 heavy machine guns, 358 light machine guns, 52,602 rifles, 236 pistols, more than 40,000 sabers, more than 10,000 grenades, and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition.

However, these are just icing on the cake for the well-equipped Shao Zong, and what Zhang Cheng values most is the 8,000 war horses that have survived.

Looking at groups of war horses grazing on the grass, Wang Hu, the commander of the cavalry regiment, smiled uncontrollably, with so many war horses, he was sure to become the commander of the cavalry division.

At the same time, when the fierce battle between Shaozong and Ma Jiajun was in full swing, the main force of the Central Red Army and Yan Laoxi's Jin army launched a low-intensity battle on both sides of the Yellow River.

Although Yan Laoxi invited the Central Army to reinforce the Jin Army, Yan Laoxi's intention was to invite the Central Army to deter the Red Army, and he did not mean to let the Central Army go down to participate in the war.

Yan Laoxi understands very well that the Red Army is a wolf that wants to bite a piece of its own flesh, while the Central Army wants to swallow a tiger in one bite, if the wolf is driven away but swallowed by the tiger in one bite, isn't it a tragedy? Therefore, Yan Laoxi has not allowed the Central Army to leave his sight, only let them garrison in Taiyuan City, and ordered his henchmen to monitor the Central Army.

The commander-in-chief was also worried that the Red Army and the Jin Army would fight too hard and benefit Chang Kaishen's Central Army, so he flexibly took advantage of the contradictions between Chang and Yan and carried out a lot of united front work against Yan Laoxi through various secret channels, intending to reach an armistice agreement with Yan Laoxi.

It's just that there is still a big dispute between the two sides over their respective sites. Yan Laoxi demanded that the Red Army withdraw from the west of the Yellow River, and the two sides would divide the river to rule, but our army naturally refused to give up the plastered land that had been taken with great difficulty in vain, so the two sides did not give in to each other, and the secret negotiations formed a stalemate.

However, both sides knew very well in their hearts that whether the secret negotiations could be reached or not depended on whether the Red Army could hold the base area under the surprise attack of the Ma Jiajun, and if the Red Army could not even keep its own nest, this secret negotiation would not be mentioned again.

On the other hand, if the Red Army can drive Ma Jiajun away and prove that the Red Army still has a certain strength, then Yan Laoxi is very likely to make certain concessions to the conditions of the Red Army.

In addition, Chang Kaishen is also worried about Yan Laoxi's two-faced and three-edged swords, and he is also very afraid that Yan Laoxi will break the jar and make peace with the Red Army alone, so the Central Army will sit on wax. Therefore, Chang Kaishen strictly ordered the Central Army to defend itself in Taiyuan City and not act rashly, in fact, Chang Kaishen was also waiting for the results of the battle between the Red Army and the Ma Jiajun.

Therefore, under the scruples of the three forces, the fighting on both sides of the Yellow River in Jin Province gradually calmed down, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the results of the battle between the Red Army and the Ma Jiajun to decide on the next step.
