"Very good, Ma Bufang came to reinforce Lanzhou, just to kill himself! How many people did they come, how many cavalry did they have, and how far were they from Lanzhou? Zhang Cheng asked the correspondent one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing the news that Ma Bufang came to rescue Ma Hongbin, Zhang Cheng was not surprised, among the three horses in the northwest, only Ma Bufang had the ambition to become the king of the northwest, and the leaders of the other Ma family army were all shoucheng.

After cleaning up Ma Hongbin, Zhang Cheng's next plan is undoubtedly Ma Bufang of Qingma, and now that Ma Bufang has sent it to the door by himself, such a good thing is naturally unwanted.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's series of questions, fortunately, the correspondent had made sufficient preparations before coming in, and he said unhurriedly: "According to the news from the reconnaissance cavalry, Ma Bufang came to Lanzhou to reinforce about 10,000 troops, and the cavalry was only more than 3,000, and there were still ten miles away from Lanzhou, and their marching speed was extremely slow, and it was about two hours before they arrived in Lanzhou. ”

Zhang Cheng immediately said: "There are still two hours? There is no time to analyze the enemy's situation, and now I order the Second Cavalry Brigade led by Deputy Division Commander Lu Zhongliang to put on the uniform of Ganma and play the role of the guard unit in Lanzhou. Inform Ma Hongbin and ask him to cooperate with us to complete the battle plan to eliminate Ma Bufang, and send a telegram to Ma Bufang every twenty minutes asking for help, asking Ma Bufang to come to the rescue as soon as possible.

The 1st Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade continued to empty their guns and artillery, pretending that our army was still attacking Lanzhou, and when Ma Bufang's troops arrived to reinforce, they could feign defeat and retreat, and then Ma Hongbin sent people to cooperate to welcome Ma Bufang's troops into Lanzhou City, and finally the 3rd Division hidden in the city launched a surprise attack to eliminate Ma Bufang's troops in one fell swoop. ”

The so-called trick is fresh, eat all over the world, Zhang Cheng repeated his old tricks, and once again ordered his troops to play the trick of camouflage and lure the enemy, the comrades were already extremely familiar with Zhang Cheng's tricks, and when Zhang Cheng's order was issued, the various departments took action one after another.

Although Ma Bufang was cunning like a ghost, where did he think that Zhang Cheng would be so insidious, and gave him a trick of "inviting the king into the urn".

When Ma Bufang's troops easily "defeated" the Red Army troops that were still besieging the city, they did not have the slightest precaution or scruples, so they were arrogant and swaggering, and entered Lanzhou as a savior.

As a result, he was drunk and unconscious at the Hongmen banquet set up by Ma Hongbin, and the next morning, Ma Bufang found that he and 10,000 troops had become prisoners of the Red Army.

Ma Bufang did a lot of evil, according to the law of the Red Army, it was the end of the target, when he knew that his sorrow was urging the end, Ma Bufang was hysterical and completely crazy, he did not hate the Red Army at all, after all, it is not surprising that the two armies used any means in the war.

But Ma Bufang completely hated Ma Hongbin, special mother, Lao Tzu took the trouble to lead his troops to relieve your siege of Lanzhou, but you Ma Hongbin was good, and actually joined forces with the Red Army to dig such a big hole for himself, causing Lao Tzu's troops to become prisoners without firing a shot.

Tenai's bear, do you Ma Hongbin do such a thing, what about the righteousness that is said to be the first, what about the two ribs that are good, what is special, the boat of friendship will be overturned, can you still be good friends?

Not to mention Ma Bufang's hysterical and crazy roar, which eliminated the 10,000 steps that Ma Bufang squeezed out like toothpaste, Ma Bufang's nest Xining has completely become an empty city. Zhang Cheng didn't know how polite he was, and soon sent a cavalry division to take down Ma Bufang's old nest, Xining City.

Solved Ma Bufang, except for Ma Hongkui, who was greatly injured, there was only one army left in the huge northwest, with Ma Buqing's strength, he naturally couldn't afford to turn up any storms, and Zhang Cheng didn't want to take everything on him.

Then he ordered the Third Brigade to be responsible for guarding Xining and Lanzhou, and handed over the task of eliminating Ma Buqing to the First Division and the Cavalry Division, with Li Yunlong as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, to take the land west of Hexi as soon as possible, and then kill Yinchuan to unify the northwest.

Zhang Cheng relieved himself to hand over the task of pacifying the great northwest to Li Yunlong and others, he fully believed in the ability of his subordinates, coupled with the powerful firepower configuration of Shaozong, it was enough to take Hexi.

Although the northwest is large, but the population is sparse, and there are few people, it is easy to conquer by force, but it is very difficult to govern, even if the energy of our party to cover the sky in later generations, there are still violent terrorists from time to time to make demon moths.

Zhang Cheng delegated military issues to his subordinates, but now he is thinking more about the problem of governing the northwest, and according to the experience and experience of later generations in governing the northwest, Zhang Cheng wrote down 10 suggestions for governing the northwest and submitted them to the central authorities, hoping that the central authorities can properly govern the northwest and make it an unbreakable rear of our army's anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines in the future.

Two days later, under the leadership of Comrade Liu Shaoqi, the new secretary of the Northwest Bureau, the political work cadres sent by the central authorities arrived in Lanzhou, and Zhang Cheng personally led the cadres out of the city for 10 miles to greet them.

After receiving the good news that Zhang Cheng had successively captured Lanzhou and Xining, the Party Central Committee began to set up the Northwest Bureau, dispatched Comrade Liu Shaoqi to serve as secretary of the Northwest Bureau, and selected capable political cadres to rush to the northwest to establish a Soviet party committee organization, so as to govern the great northwest into an unbreakable and solid rear.

After Liu Shaoqi led the political work cadres in place, Zhang Cheng handed over all the local work to Comrade Liu Shaoqi, which quickly won the favor of Comrade Liu Shaoqi, and the two had a clear division of labor and worked closely together, and appointed a group of former puppet government functionaries in the northwest who actively moved closer to our party, and soon stabilized the situation in the northwest.

At the same time, Li Yunlong led the 1st Division and the Cavalry Division to encircle the main force of the 5th Cavalry Division at Wuwei on 3 May, and after more than two hours of fierce fighting, the main force of the 5th Cavalry Division was completely annihilated, annihilating and capturing more than 10,000 enemy troops and capturing more than 5,000 horses.

After eliminating Ma Buqing's main cavalry force, Ma Buqing's troops were soon defeated, and on May 5, Shaozong attacked Jinchang; On May 12, Shaozong broke through Zhangye; On May 23, Shaozong broke through Jiuquan and Jiayuguan.

The Hexi Corridor was taken by the Red Army, and the entire northwest land, except for the two provinces of Ningxin and Ningxin, had become the Red Army's bag.

On May 18, the Red First and Third Army Corps, which had rested for more than a month, launched the Ning Province Campaign in order to cooperate with the Western Expedition of Shaozong, and finally took Yinchuan, the capital of Ning Province, on May 25 and captured Ma Hongkui, the head of Ning Ma.

At this point, the Ma Jiajun group, which had ruled the northwest for decades, was destroyed, the clear sky was restored in the northwest region, the people were finally liberated, and the serfs completely turned over to become masters, singing and dancing to welcome the arrival of the Red Army.

At the same time, the entire Great Northwest Region was joined together by our army, and the base area of the Great Northwest Soviet Region was established, which stretched from Luliang in the east to Luliang in the north, to Xining in Tibet Province in the west, to Tianshui in the south, and to Ordos in the north, with a radius of several thousand miles, with a population of more than 10 million and an unprecedentedly strong revolutionary force.

After the news broke, the whole country was terrified, and Chang Kaishen in Nanjing was on pins and needles, worried about the great strength of the Red Army. This time, however, he decided to take advantage of the fact that the Red Army's foothold in the northwest was not stable, and he also took the opportunity to take the northwest region to vigorously promote the great cause of reunification.

However, at this time, the sky did not help Chang Kaishen. Li Zongren and Chen Jitang seized the opportunity to make trouble and launched the "Liangguang Incident" in early June, which was a key place in the south, and Chang Kaishen had to send troops to suppress it, which greatly involved his energy, and his plan to launch the sixth "anti-bandit" war was stillborn, and the Red Army finally ushered in a long period of development after a series of vicious battles.
