After the battle, they found that many familiar clan relatives and friends and neighbors had died tragically under the city gate, and their eyes were red suddenly, and many soldiers were crying bitterly and shouting for revenge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ma Yuanhai was able to push the Western Route Army into a desperate situation in history, naturally he was not a man of wine bags and rice bags, he knew that he had committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy, and rashly let the cavalry attack the city before the infantry arrived, and even underestimated the automatic firepower of the Red Army, which had always been called the mud-legged Red Army, which led to a great defeat in the first battle.

Ma Yuanhai, who knew his mistakes and could correct them, stopped the clamor of the soldiers, and ordered the troops to strictly hold their positions, not to attack rashly, and to settle accounts with the Red Army after the infantry arrived.

At this time, guarding the south gate of Qingyang City was the 37th Regiment of the Red 13th Division, in order to block the cavalry impact of the Ma Jiajun, the regiment concentrated most of the light and heavy machine guns of the division, and the automatic fire was extremely fierce.

Although Division Commander Chen Bojun was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Cheng's strict orders, he strictly abided by the discipline of the Red Army and meticulously deployed defensive forces in accordance with Zhang Cheng's opinions.

He put the 37th Division, which had the strongest combat effectiveness in the whole division, at the South Gate, and the West Gate was defended by the 38th Regiment, with the 39th Regiment as a reserve, and the division's subordinate units were also under the unified command of the 37th Regiment.

Judging from the initial battle, Chen Bojun's combat deployment was still very successful, and his military command ability was worthy of being the old revolutionary of the Red Army. The 37th Regiment defending the South Gate fought brilliantly, with few casualties on its own side, but the enemy was killed and wounded, and after the battle, it brought back more than 300 war horses, captured more than 1,000 rifles and more than 1,000 sabers, and gained a very rich harvest.

Wang Yanbin, commander of the 37th Regiment, and Xie Liang, political commissar of the 37th Regiment, were both veteran revolutionaries who had grown up step by step from small soldiers and had extremely rich combat experience. But a big victory like this was also the first time in their combat history that they both smiled as they stroked the tall horse they pulled back.

Division commander Chen Bojun saw that the troops had won such a big victory in the first battle without using mortars, and his heart was also very beautiful. In particular, the machine gun array learned from Zhang Cheng has achieved great effect, killing and injuring a large number of cavalry of the Ma family's army, which makes Chen Bojun's resentment in his heart that Zhang Cheng did not care about his own face and forced him to defend Qingyang dissipated a lot.

And to be honest, Chen Bojun was also shocked when he saw the scene of Ma Jiajun's fearless charge on the city wall, if it weren't for the city wall to block the enemy, even if the machine gun array was arranged, it would be difficult to resist the group charge of the cavalry.

After winning the first battle, Chen Bojun, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but start to reflect, and finally helplessly found that he was indeed careless about the enemy.

Because the Red Army was overwhelmed after entering northern Shaanxi, many Red Army commanders and fighters, including themselves, were unconsciously proud, and they also had great contempt for local warlords like Ma Jiajun.

Recalling the Ma Jiajun's lifeless fighting method and the reality that there were still tens of thousands of cavalry, after making some deductions, Chen Bojun suddenly felt shuddered, he found that if he really led the whole army of the 13th Division out of the city to pursue the defeated troops of the Ma Jiajun, the end of the 13th Division would definitely be the destruction of the city and the death of an extremely ugly death.

Thinking of this, Chen Bojun was furious all over his body, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Then Chen Bojun thought of his dissatisfaction after receiving Zhang Cheng's strict order, and he began to self-examine, but he found that he obviously did not put himself in the right position and thought too highly of himself.

Due to Zhang Cheng's young age and shallow qualifications, even though he had been promoted to the high position of column commander, half a level higher than his military rank, he still regarded him as a junior in his heart, and did not expect that he was already on a par with the corps commander, which was the reason why he was dissatisfied after receiving Zhang Cheng's order.

Fortunately, his revolutionary stance was firm, and he always regarded obedience to orders as his duty, and deployed the battle in strict accordance with Zhang Cheng's orders, so that there were no unimaginable consequences.

After making some self-examination, Chen Bojun finally got along, and he immediately called Zhang Cheng to inform him of the news of the victory in the first battle and thank him for his success, and finally asked Zhang Cheng to remotely command the Qingyang battle and give tactical guidance to the 13th Division.

After receiving Chen Bojun's telegram, Zhang Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

In fact, when he forcibly ordered Chen Bojun to defend Qingyang and not to act rashly, he was also a little frightened in his heart, he had always respected him as the old chief, and he was afraid that issuing such a stern order would cause Chen Bojun's rebellious psychology and make the opposite battle arrangement.

However, Zhang Cheng still chose to believe in Chen Bojun's consciousness as an old party member, an old revolutionary, and an old Red Army, and understood the truth that soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty.

Fortunately, the result was not too bad, Chen Bojun figured it out by himself, not only won a big victory in the first battle, but also invited Zhang Cheng to command the battle remotely, which made Zhang Cheng feel extremely gratified.

At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, the 20,000 infantry of Qingma finally arrived. Ma Yuanhai quickly adjusted the siege deployment, determined to divide the troops into three routes, two infantry regiments respectively feinted to attack the two city gates in the southeast, and the main force mainly attacked the west gate and dispatched mortars and heavy machine guns to break through Qingyang City with firepower superiority.

Considering that yesterday's attack on Qingyang City was all lost by Qingma's elite cavalry, this time Ma Yuanhai played a trick and ordered Qingma's infantry to open the way in front of the head to clear obstacles such as tripping ropes, barbed wire, and land mines for the main cavalry force.

After the deployment was completed, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Ma Yuanhai officially ordered the three-way army to launch an attack on all fronts.

Suddenly, the two infantry regiments of Qingma launched a charge towards Qingyang, with the lesson of yesterday, the infantry regiment attacked much more cautiously, came to the outside of the city 400 meters, found that there was no movement in the city, and used the large iron tongs carried to cut the tripping horse rope and barbed wire.

After that, they continued to charge, and after passing the minefield of yesterday, and seeing that they were about to reach the city gate, the bloodthirsty factor of these infantry regiments suddenly attacked, and immediately brandished their swords and guns, and rushed towards the city with battering rams and ladders.

However, at this moment, the Red Army soldiers on the city wall waved their arms one after another, and threw grenades at the dense Qingma infantry with a condescending momentum.

The Ma Jiajun lived up to its fierce reputation, and the bloodthirsty soldiers attacked even more frantically after seeing the blood, roaring in their mouths, and continuing to rush forward with red eyes.

Seeing that the enemy was about to rush forward, the Red Army soldiers were also red-eyed, and the machine guns suddenly shouted, and as soon as the machine guns rang out, Ma Jiajun's madness passed, and they saw the corpses of their comrades, relatives and friends everywhere, and they were immediately awakened.

The officers and men of the Ma family, who had regained their senses, were frightened by the sound of the Red Army's machine guns, and quickly fled for their lives.
