Chapter 185 Annihilation of the Ma Family Army III

Qingma's attack on the east and south gates failed, and the siege troops of Ningma did not benefit, and under the Qingyang City, which was armed to the teeth, the Ma family army, which was only good at field warfare and was not conducive to attacking the fortifications, had to run into their heads and bleed under Qingyang City.

Ma Hongkui, Ma Yuanhai, Ma Zhongyi, and several other leading figures of the Ma family's army gathered at the headquarters of the former enemy and counted their battle losses, but they found that in just two or three hours of attack, the army of 80,000 people had suffered more than 20,000 casualties.

Ma Hongkui has already retreated, he only brought 30,000 Ningma troops, but now he has lost more than 8,000 officers and soldiers, plus the Red Army is much stronger than he expected, even if he finally takes Qingyang's own 30,000 troops, it is estimated that there will not be much left.

The most important thing is that he can't take much advantage of Qingyang, he is completely making wedding clothes for Ma Bufang, he really doesn't need to spend his old foundation under Qingyang City.

Ma Yuanhai also felt that this battle could not be fought any longer, and since the attack on Qingyang City began on the 21st, the Qingma troops under his command have suffered nearly 30,000 casualties under Qingyang City, and the losses are really too heavy.

He asked Ma Bufang of Zhenyuan for instructions to withdraw from the army, and after Ma Bufang received the report, he immediately became angry, and tossed two little girls to vent his anger.

After calming down, Ma Bufang began to think about whether to retreat, how many troops are there in Qingma, plus there are only more than 80,000 troops left in Qingzhou, and now there are 30,000 casualties in Qingyang.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered Ma Yuanhai to withdraw from the battle immediately, and the camera took the troops out of Qingyang safely, returned to Tianshui for temporary repairs, and then immediately returned to Xining, so as not to be exploited by Ma Buqing in the emptiness of the old nest.

Zhang Cheng felt that it was almost time, so he sent a telegram to the political commissar, asking the combat troops directly under the column to join the battle early tomorrow morning, open the way with artillery, completely destroy the Ma Jiajun, and force them to retreat to our army's ambush circle and fall into the encirclement of our army.

At eight o'clock in the morning of May 28, as thousands of troops directly under the small column joined the battle, the power of our army's artillery suddenly doubled.

However, the large army of more than 50,000 people wants to retreat, not just talking, although Qingma and Ningma are both Ma family army, but in order to fight for power and profit, there are many contradictions. At this time, Ma Hongkui and Ma Yuanhai quarreled over who would retreat first and who would break off.

The Ma Jiajun was fighting with each other, but the Red Army would not be polite, and gathered more than 250 artillery pieces to continuously bombard the forward positions of the Ma Jiajun, and countless shells smashed on the positions like meteorites, setting off a bloody storm.

Ma Jiajun had no sense of defense at all, and the fortifications on the position were extremely poorly dug, which brought them disastrous consequences. Seeing the heavy losses of the troops, coupled with the fact that Ma Hongkui had never seen such a fierce artillery fire, he had long been frightened by the Red Army.

At this time, Ma Hongkui didn't care about arguing with Ma Yuanhai, he immediately ordered the troops to gradually retreat, withdraw from their positions, and sort out their baggage and begin to retreat.

At the same time, Ma Yuanhai on the other side also read out the order for Ma Bufang to retreat to his subordinates. Therefore, he ordered to leave the two militia regiments behind, with the cavalry units as the priority, and all the other troops retreated in turn in the direction of Tianshui.

As Qingning and the two horses chose to retreat, the large army of more than 50,000 people suddenly moved, and for a while, the horses' hooves were rolling on the narrow road, wolf smoke was flying, and there were cavalrymen galloping everywhere.

After withdrawing more than ten miles, the cavalry of Qingma found that a blocking fortification had been built at the end of the road in the distance, and many Red Army figures were faintly visible behind the fortification.

Damn, we can't do anything about attacking your fortified city, after all, the cavalry is not good at attacking fortifications, but now you dare to stop us on the field road, this is really lighting a lamp in the toilet - looking for death!

The cavalry of Qingma were all agitated, and many soldiers even burst into tears of excitement.

Ah! Finally back to the way we are familiar with fighting, in particular, these days have been full of sieges, how many comrades have been killed in vain, this is good, the Red Army is finally willing to fight with us in the field.

With a roar, the Green Horse cavalry suddenly launched a group charge and rushed towards the Red Army's blocking position.

Ma Jiajun no one found that there were long pipes erected on the strong positions in the distance, which were more than a hundred heavy machine guns, and at this time, Zhang Cong, the commander of the Shaozhong Heavy Firepower Battalion, looked at the cavalry rushing quickly, and showed a cruel sneer.

"Wyle!" Zhang Cong learned Zhang Cheng to shout the English slogan of opening fire.

Suddenly, with Zhang Cong's shouting, the heavy machine gunners, who had long been hungry and thirsty, immediately opened fire. In the next moment, more than 100 heavy machine guns roared at the same time, and dazzling tongues of fire immediately erupted from the muzzles.

Before the horsemen of Ma Jiajun could react, there was a piercing gunfire around them, and countless bullets swept through from a distance like a violent wind.

Endless machine-gun bullets swept rows of cavalry to the ground like the scythe of death, countless cavalry fell to the ground, countless horses neighed fiercely, and feared all the horses and wanted to retreat.

However, the large group of cavalry that had already charged could not stop at all, the cavalry in front was swept down, but the impact behind continued, and the cavalry that originally wanted to retreat was constantly arched by the cavalry charging behind, and rushed towards the abyss of death together.

The March of Death continued, the cavalry behind saw the death and wounding of their comrades in front, after the initial fear, anger hit their hearts, instead of being aggrieved and being killed by the Red Army one by one, it was better to increase their strength and rush into the blocking position, so they could wantonly slaughter the damned Red Army and avenge the blood hatred of their dead comrades, so the Ma Jiajun increased speed again, and the charging formation was assembled.

The cavalry charge that raised the speed was very terrifying, and the cavalry commander Ma Huawen, who rushed in front, was furious and kept beating his horse and galloping, soaring out of unprecedented horse speed.

However, when he rushed to the machine gun position thirty meters and was about to show a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth, "boom"! There was a sudden earth-shattering noise under him, and he looked around strangely, and found that all the cavalry of the Guards behind him were flying. I look like I'm flying, too.

"Damn, the red bandits actually planted mines!" This was Ma Huawen's last thought left in the world, and then he fell from the sky, his head hit the ground, and with a "poof", his head fell into a rotten watermelon.
