Chapter 187 Annihilation of the Ma Family Army Five
The enemy is getting closer and closer to the blocking position, and the soldiers on the position are all shocked by the very rhythmic sound of horses' hooves, but this is also normal, the soldiers of the third brigade This is the first time against a large-scale cavalry unit, facing more than 10,000 cavalry horses rushing forward, it is difficult for people who are not immersed in the scene to imagine this situation.

Although Zhang Cheng was also a little nervous in his heart, he forcibly maintained the composure on his face, he knew that he was the commander of the army, and he must remain calm and calm no matter when and where, if he showed a panicked look in front of the officers and men of the three armies, the morale of the troops would drop suddenly, and the combat effectiveness would plummet.
He nodded to Zhou Weiguo and Cai Shubing, the political commissar of the Third Division, and Zhou Weiguo immediately ordered the brigade commanders and regiment commanders beside him: "Everyone prepare for battle. All units must keep the enemy close before fighting, and it is strictly forbidden to shoot at a distance of 400 meters, and snipers and heavy machine gunners are on standby at any time. The squad and platoon commanders of each unit went down to the front-line positions, paid attention to the mood of the fighters at all times, and told them that there was nothing to fear from the cavalry, and that our heavy machine guns could tear them to pieces. ”
"Resolutely complete the task." With Zhou Weiguo's order, the officers who had been waiting for a long time walked out of the command headquarters with a "bang", seeing that other troops were fighting lively, but they themselves ate ashes in the field for a long time, and the soldiers were already hungry and thirsty.
Lu Zhongliang, the commander of the newly formed Seventh Division, vaguely felt that the front was a little too quiet with a good sense of war, and there seemed to be something boring, so he rushed to Ma Hongkui's side and suggested to Ma Hongkui: "The mountains and forests on both sides two kilometers ahead seem to be a little strange, there is not a single bird cry, according to the description of the art of war in the ancient books, there should be an army hidden." ”
Ma Hongkui returned to his heart like an arrow, and said impatiently: "Ridiculous! If we don't retreat quickly, and wait for the red bandits to clean up Ma Yuanhai, then we will be caught up by the red bandits. Don't be suspicious, order the troops to speed up, we must withdraw from Qingyang territory before dark. ”
"Yes!" Although there were still some misgivings, the soldiers regarded obedience to orders as their duty, and Lu Zhongliang still strictly implemented the orders and asked the departments to speed up.
1,000 ......
500 meters......
400 meters......
The Ningma cavalry was getting closer and closer to the position, and the warriors could already clearly see the hot air spewing from the horse's nose.
"Hit!" Zhou Weiguo gave an order, and the heavy machine gun, which had been hungry for a long time, finally couldn't bear the loneliness, and roared wildly, countless bullets sprayed out from the cold hole, forming a tight firepower network, beating the cavalry galloping at full speed to the back of the horse, and the wailing of the soldiers and the mournful sound of the war horse resounded one after another, resounding throughout the field.
Ningma and Qingma are of the same origin, the same bloodthirsty as life, the general troops suddenly encountered a surprise attack, most of the reaction was to be overwhelmed or crushed with one blow, but Ningma's cavalry was out of anger, with a feverish light in their eyes, and rushed to the blocking position with a whistling shout.
Although they were suddenly attacked, the determination of the cavalry to charge was even more resolute, and they began to launch a group attack on the position, and the sabers wielded by the cavalry reflected the cold light in the sun, emitting a formidable murderous aura.
The high-pitched and crazy whistling and the screams of the cavalry who were shot and fell off their horses were mixed into a wild symphony, which fully demonstrated the rugged national character of the men of the Great Northwest.
However, the 3rd Brigade not only had heavy machine guns, but also more than 40 artillery pieces behind the position that had torn off their camouflage, revealing their fangs.
"Boom!"
The roar of the artillery suddenly covered the still roaring machine gun sound, and dozens of shells fell in the dense cavalry charge formation, and in an instant, Ningma's cavalry and war horses suffered a fatal blow.
In just a few minutes, the front of the Third Brigade's blocking position was full of flesh and blood, mourning everywhere, human corpses and horse corpses were constantly overlapping and piling up, gunshots and explosions were constantly ringing out, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, as if it was a hellish scene.
The Red Army soldiers, who faced the charge of a large cavalry group for the first time, gradually calmed down after the initial panic, firing artillery, throwing bombs, and firing, everything was so smooth and familiar, they were convinced that under the leadership and command of Zhang Cheng, no matter what kind of enemy they faced, victory would be the only result.
Of course, although the 3rd Brigade had the advantage of automatic firepower, some positions of 5,000 men were still relatively weak in the face of the charge of more than 20,000 cavalry, and the casualties of the Red Army began to increase under the desperate onslaught of Ningma.
However, although Ningma was brave and fierce, our heroic Red Army soldiers were supported by firm faith, and their bloody bravery was by no means inferior to Ningma.
Every time Ningma tore open a small gap in the blocking position, there were always fierce Red Army squad platoon commanders who were not afraid of death stepped forward, carrying machine guns and constantly strafing at the Ningma cavalry.
Ma Hongkui and Lu Zhongliang looked at the hellish bloody scene in front of the blocking position with shocked eyes behind the cavalry, and suddenly developed a great fear for the brave and fearless Red Army soldiers.
However, at this time, it has reached the critical point of life and death, and at this time, Ma Hongkui cannot be allowed to fight cowardly. Although Ma Hongkui has gradually degenerated and corrupted, after all, he is also a veteran warlord who has been fighting since the Beiyang period, and he still has no shortage of courage at critical moments.
Ma Hongkui stepped forward, gathered the officers together, stood in front of them, and shouted loudly: "Today, the survival of our Ningma has reached the moment of life and death, there are interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, if everyone can't rush out of this Jedi, what awaits everyone is destruction." Now I order: the officers below me will take the lead in the charge, and whoever dares to take a step back will be the sinner of Nyingma. ”
With Ma Hongkui coming forward, the morale of Ma Jiajun suddenly rose, and the officers regained their tenacious fighting spirit, and expressed their determination to Ma Hongkui, and they must lead Chairman Ma to break out of the encirclement, otherwise they will meet each other.
Seeing that the morale was available, Ma Hongkui immediately made combat arrangements, and the commanders of the brigades and regiments below shouted arrogantly to make preparations. Seeing the officers around him leave one by one, the cunning Ma Hongkui ordered the guards around him to find a few sets of military uniforms of small soldiers, and took advantage of no one to pay attention to his own military uniforms to a henchman who looked very similar to him to put them on, and he quietly changed into the military uniform of small soldiers, taking advantage of the chaos to sneak away from the path.
Ten minutes later, under the personal leadership of "Ma Hongkui," Ningma launched a decisive charge to the Red Army's blocking position, and the officers and men of Ningma watched "Chairman Ma" rush to the front, and their adrenaline soared infinitely, as if everyone had become an invulnerable superman, rushing forward and rushing towards the muzzle and muzzle of the third brigade.
The fighting was unprecedentedly fierce.
