readx; Two days after the battle in Lanzhou City, the 500,000 troops of 5 horses and 300,000 troops at the junction of the two provinces, which had already finished the season, had been waiting for the news from the vanguard of the 4,000-strong independent cavalry brigade of Mazhahai from Lanzhou in front. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So, at Ma Hongbin's insistence, the other four horses had to wait for two more days, and the result was still the same, and there was no shadow of Ma Zahai and others, Ma Bufang and the others couldn't wait any longer, and Ma Hongbin had no choice but to order to set off, resting for a few days, the 300,000 rabble who were about to fade out of the bird sparsely divided into five long snake formations, swaggering towards the direction of Lanzhou City, but they didn't know that their opponent controlled the 400,000 elite Long Bazun of the China Social League would launch a decisive battle in half an hour later, and wipe it out in one go.

Even President Chiang Zhicheng, who was far away in Nanjing, found out and scolded these northwest warlords for expanding their armies without permission, and did not even give Nanjing a report, do they want to rebel! When he learned that the cause of the incident was the ambition of 400,000 elite troops to establish bases in Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang provinces to contend with the Jiangnan region under his control when he first received the information, the president himself was sitting on the front line in Jiangxi to supervise his subordinates to encircle and suppress the remnants of the red elements who were hiding here. I had to relay it from Nanjing by special radio. After getting this piece of information, Jiang Zhicheng first thought that the subordinate intelligence station of the Military Statistics Bureau in the northwest was exaggerating in order to save trouble or for other reasons, and indiscriminately reported untrue information to the above... Moreover, the content of the intelligence was pure nonsense, and Dai Yunong, the director of the Military Command Bureau who was following him, was sweating profusely, saying that he would seriously deal with and thoroughly investigate the relevant personnel.

In particular, after the president himself saw the intelligence that the five horses were throwing money everywhere regardless of the cost of work, and the Taipan of the local foreign bank and some foreign ** firearms dealers who stayed here to buy arms on a large scale, he roared very angrily on the spot: Niang Xipi, the equipment of the five horses is actually better than the dignified Central Army, and the Central Army will not become called Huazi, no! We must clean up a few elements who are seriously red and confiscate illegal gains, so as to ensure the future expansion of the Central Army!! In fact, Chairman Chiang was also a little greedy for the hundreds of thousands of rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, artillery and other German goods in the hands of the Northwest Five Horses, and he wished that all of them were his own, but out of some ideas, he himself did not like the group of local forces composed of religion and blood in the Five Horses.

He wished that this inexplicable and unprovoked red bandit and the five horses would lose both, and then he would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and by the way, extend the tentacles of Nanjing to this area that the Beiyang Nationalist Government could not control before. In the end, of course, it was firmly in the hands of the national government......

Let's not talk about Jiang Zhi's ambition for the time being.

At about noon on 27 March 1932, hundreds of P-26 "toy gun" monoplane fighters belonging to the Air Force of the China Social League, whose original model was developed and mass-produced by Boeing of the United States, took off from a secret air base near Lanzhou. The roar of a large number of engines quickly covered the entire base, and when you look up at the sky, you can find that the sky is full of such fighters, and they are speeding through the sky at an extremely high speed at an altitude of 2,286 meters, and the flight speed of more than 700 kilometers allows it to easily reach the predetermined airspace of the theater to carry out its mission.

The fighter flying in the sky is based on the P-26 "toy gun" monoplane fighter developed and mass-produced by Boeing in the early days, and is the product of Zhao Heng's operating system after magic modification.

Length: 7.19 meters; Height: 3.06 meters; Wingspan: 8.52 meters 'Wing area: 13.** square meters; Empty weight: Some protective steel decks were installed to protect the pilot's cockpit and engines and other important parts of the fighter, so that the weight of the fighter exceeded one ton, reaching an astonishing 1,994 kilograms, which was almost two to three times the original weight (this is amazing news that the monoplane fighter can reach this level in the aviation industry in about 32 years); Maximum take-off weight: 2,337 kg; The maximum range of the fighter: a distance of nearly 1,200 kilometers, which means that it can cover most of South China; Maximum cruising speed: 640 km/h; Maximum speed (2,286 m/h): 754 km/h; Practical ceiling: 10,000 meters. After replacing the new high-power, powerful kinetic power and fuel-efficient aviation turboprop diesel engine, the original Pit Daddy Pratt & Whitney R-1340-27 engine with only 500 horsepower was cancelled successively (to be honest, Boeing developed a simplified version of the 218 type in order to cheat money, but the engine is still the same as the Pratt & Whitney R-1340-27 engine just mentioned, and its subsequent models are air-cooled, in order to save some costs, Boeing did not replace the 218, The unique injection oil injection device was not easily used in the end).

While the 300,000 miscellaneous troops of the Ma Family Bandits were marching mightily on the ground, a two-winged zero-type two-seat reconnaissance plane was quietly staring at everything on the ground through the airborne cameras and camera guns at an altitude of 5,500 meters in the sky.

The five horses were not in the mood to see what appeared in the sky at this time, because the scouts they sent out turned around in front and brought back two people who escaped from death, Ma Bangyu and Ma Hecheng were actually accidentally left behind and lost when Ma Zahai and the others escaped, but fortunately they also brought enough dry food and water for three or four days, otherwise they would have become two freshly baked dried corpse mummies of the Northwest in the desert.

Under the questioning of the five horses who were high up, the flattered two stammered and told the whole thing, which details were inevitably missed Under the gaze of Ma Bufang, whose face had gradually become gloomy, and his eyes were erratic, Ma Bangyu, who was an elder, had to bite the bullet and say it again.

When he learned that the opponent's terrible combat power and air support were still in his hands, the first thought of the five horses who came back from the shock of this shocking news was ridiculous, but looking at the expressions of the two did not look like they were lying. Five pairs of eyes exchanged opinions and made a decision: Lanzhou City doesn't need to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, you see that the other party only sent hundreds of chariots and 4,000 female soldiers to kill Ma Zahai's army of nearly 14,000 troops, and the 14,000 people in Ma Zahai are not miscellaneous cannon fodder!

What I didn't expect was that the opponent's strength was actually a lot exceeded. What can I do about this, what can we do with our hodgepodge of more than 300,000 troops, it is better to withdraw the army and then consider it in the long run. At this time, the other horses of the five horses were gone.

After several quarrels and weighing the pros and cons, the five horses reached a consensus: that is, to temporarily bypass the superior forces of the strong enemy, and then try to find the enemy's weak link, and then take turns to use troops to eat the opponent bite by bite.

Although Ma Bufang was unwilling to give up the territory he had operated in Gansu for many years, it was better than losing his current territory, Qinghai and his own life. In desperation, the front team of more than 300,000 troops changed to the rear team and the rear team changed to the front team and threw off the big feet and walked back, among which a considerable number of soldiers and cannon fodder had complained, but they obediently did so under the commander's whip and the guns of the war team.
