Chapter 179: Return to Qingyang

At the Nanjing Presidential Palace, Chang Kaishen stood in the command room, looking at the northwest military map on the wall, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it has been busy during this time, the great cause of suppressing bandits has finally come to an end: the Sichuan army led by Liu Xiang has won a decisive victory at Baizhang Pass, and Xue Yue's central army has also entered Sichuan, and the time of the red bandits in Sichuan is running out.

Zhu Mao in northern Shaanxi also showed a big flaw, and when his foothold was not stable, he actually took the initiative to provoke Yan Laoxi, the turtle of Jin Province. Niang Xipi, is this Yan Laoxi so easy to provoke? I think that the Central Plains War almost pulled Lao Tzu off the horse, if it wasn't for Han Qing's brother who sent troops from the Northeast, I don't know what year and month I would fight.

Yan Laoxi is a hard bone, then let the red bandits who don't believe in evil gnaw it, and when they are inseparable, their 100,000 central army will enter Jin Province, plus the Ma family army in the northwest will directly smash the red bandits' nest, hehe, Zhu Mao, Zhu Mao, this time you can still escape to the edge of the sky!

Ma Bufang has already hit the border of Qingyang, it seems that this Ma Bufang still listens to the central government, although he has a lustful old problem, but he is not a saint, who does not have some small shortcomings, when he takes northern Shaanxi, it seems that he has to give him more benefits, anyway, he has occupied nearly half of the territory of Gan Province, so simply give him the chairman of Gan Province.

On the side of Jin Province, the 100,000 troops of the Central Army have entered Taiyuan, and they can cross the Yellow River west at any time and counterattack northern Shaanxi.

In this way, when Yan Laoxi and Zhu Mao are both defeated, their central army can take advantage of the situation to enter North China, and the process of unifying the whole country can take a big step forward.

It's funny to say, maybe in the future, they will unify the whole country or thanks to Zhu Mao, they will flow to Xiang Province, and Xiang Province will be taken by themselves; wandered to Guizhou Province, and Guizhou Province was taken by itself; Flowing to Sichuan Province, Sichuan Province is also about to arrive; Now they have fled to northern Shaanxi, and northern Shaanxi is about to arrive.

Hehe, the red bandits are really my lucky star, this time they are about to be destroyed, should I leave a back door and let them go again.

Chang Kaishen imagined so optimistically.

Qingyang, the leading city in Gansu Province, is located in the easternmost part of Gansu Province, at the intersection of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo provinces, and is the loess plateau gully area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Xi is called "Longdong" and is known as "Longdong granary".

At this time, the 13th Division of the Red Fifth Army Corps was stationed in Qingyang City, and Chen Bojun, chief of staff of the Fifth Army Corps and commander of the 13th Division, Luo Huaming, political commissar (transferred from Shaozhong), Pan Tong, chief of staff, and the three regiment commanders under his command were gathering at the division headquarters to study how to defend the big city of Qingyang under the attack of the 50,000 cavalry of the Ma Jiajun.

Two days ago, after the scouts discovered that Ma Jiajun had entered Zhenyuan County, the 13th Division began to step up the construction of fortifications on the city wall, and was ready to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

The Red 13th Division had 5,000 guns at this time, coupled with the strong support of Shaozong, the 13th Division has long been reborn, and it is no longer the old appearance of the Long March.

After receiving the telegram from the Party Central Committee ordering the 13th Division to hold Qingyang and wait for the rescue of Shaozong, Chen Bojun knew that the time had come to test the 13th Division, and that it would be necessary to hold Qingyang for at least 10 days when the enemy was more than 10 times his own, which was undoubtedly an arduous task for the 13th Division.

However, fortunately, although Ma Jiajun's strength is strong, its ability to attack fortifications is not outstanding. The troops of the Ma family army are basically cavalry, if they are fighting in the field, the thirteenth division will naturally run as far as they can, but now it is the thirteenth division defending the fortified city, and there is a city to block the cavalry, and the strength of the Ma family army will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, Chen Bojun is not only the commander of the 13th Division but also the chief of staff of the corps, as the chief of staff of the corps, he naturally has a lot of research on Zhang Cheng, who has won many battles. In more than 100 victories in Zhangcheng, large and small, Chen Bojun Leng discovered a sharp weapon for fighting cavalry from an insignificant battle.

That was the battle of the attack on the Zhangcheng grassland, because this battle was a battle to suppress bandits, many commanders and fighters who liked to study Zhangcheng tactics did not pay attention to it, and few people studied it. But Chen Bojun was as discerning, and at a glance he took a fancy to Zhang Cheng's magic weapon to deal with the cavalry, that is, the trap array.

He was shocked to find that as long as there were enough machine guns, no matter how many cavalry came, it would only be self-defeating. Thinking of the more than 100 light and heavy machine guns arranged on the city wall, Chen Bojun's determination to hold Qingyang for ten days was unprecedentedly strong.

Due to the fiasco of the Western Route Army, the deeds of Ma Jiajun in later generations have been kept secret, until the advent of the Internet era, coupled with the more open political climate, Ma Jiajun is famous throughout the country for the deeds of eliminating the West Route Army.

Compared with military history experts who only pay attention to Ma Jiajun's military strength, the melon-eating masses on the Internet pay more attention to Ma Jiajun's absurdity and tyranny, and his vicious behavior of killing Red Army prisoners of war and humiliating Red Army female soldiers makes the melon-eating masses even more angry.

It is said that due to Ma Jiajun's wanton humiliation of the female soldiers of the Red Army, our army did not have a combat unit of female soldiers until the founding of the People's Republic of China, and only allowed them to participate in relatively safe logistics and rescue work.

Later, during the Liberation War, Xu Shuai has always been obsessed with avenging the blood hatred of his comrades in the Four Front Army, and the Party Central Committee also intends to fulfill it, but unfortunately at the critical moment, Xu Shuai was not in good health, and he fell ill before the war and missed the horse killing battle, which became the biggest regret in Xu Shuai's life.

Fortunately, Mr. Peng, who temporarily replaced Xu Shuai, lived up to expectations and led the Northwest Field Army to defeat and eliminate the Ma Jiajun, finally avenging the Western Route Army and letting the countless souls wandering in the northwest land rest in peace.

It is said that during the horse killing war, Mr. Peng also hated the absurdity and tyranny of the Ma Jiajun, and ordered the troops not to accept the Qingma uprising and surrender under Ma Bufang, and only accepted them as prisoners, and turned a blind eye to the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun who had laid down their guns when our soldiers killed them. To make our army, which has always strictly adhered to discipline and strictly implement the prisoner policy, do it to such a point, except for Ma Jiajun, there is no one.

Zhang Cheng originally planned to focus on the great cause of resisting Japan, temporarily let Ma Jiajun go, and prepared to solve Ma Jiajun again in the Liberation War, but he didn't know that Ma Bufang himself died, and actually accepted the temptation of Chang Kaishen and dared to come to pick up the tiger whiskers of our army.

There is a distance of more than 500 kilometers from Jiaokou to Qingyang, and it is necessary to cross the Yellow River to the west, so it will take at least seven days to arrive if you travel day and night.

Although Zhang Cheng was anxious at this time, he still maintained his composure on his face, and he calmly mobilized the various units of the Shaozong to cross the Yellow River in an orderly manner and advance towards Qingyang in the southwest.
