Chapter 378: Pacify the Northwest

readx;?“ Rumble...... "Under the dark night sky, the sound of gunfire and explosions in Yinchuan City sounded intertwined, and from time to time the firelight generated by the explosion rose into the air, dazzling in the dark night....... Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A group of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Guards were rapidly advancing along a street that was not very wide, and from time to time Ma Jiajun of varying numbers would open fire and sneak attack in the buildings on both sides of the street.

However, it will soon be retaliated by the strong firepower of the Northeast border guards, and the Bazooka bazooka and the MG42 general-purpose machine gun are quite brilliant with each other.

The Ma Jiajun who really dared to turn around and resist were only a small part, and many were fleeing towards the rear, although they knew that there would be no way to escape in the end.

Frightened by the Northeast Frontier Guards, they prefer to flee temporarily to avoid the rain of tanks and machine-gun bullets that make them desperate.

When the battle line was advanced to the vicinity of the center of the city, Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongbin, Ma Bufang, and Ma Buqing each gathered a group of their last elite subordinates and began to organize a breakthrough.

Along the way, the Ma Jiajun, who had retreated, saw Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang, and they all turned around and killed them.

The two sides collided violently in the city like two torrents.

The fierce gunshots, angry scolding, and shouting of killing were endless, and the dense rain of bullets in the dark night continued to fly back and forth like meteors.

The breakout troops of the Ma Jiajun formed a dense formation in the streets, using machine guns and some submachine guns to open the way.

Gunshots rang out, and people on both sides were shot and fell at all times.

However, the officers and men of the Northeast Frontier Guards quickly sensed Ma Jiajun's intention to break through, and the officers and men of various units began to block Ma Jiajun's breakthrough troops by relying on some buildings on both sides of the street and the barricades that had just been captured by them.

In this way, the offensive and defensive posture of the Ma Jiajun and the Northeast Frontier Army has changed.

The Ma Jiajun, which broke through in a dense formation, was soon met with a dense network of fire intertwined with the rocket launchers of the Northeast Frontier Army, as well as general-purpose machine guns and submachine guns.

The Ma Jiajun, who was charging, suddenly fell down screaming like wheat harvesting.

The squeaky and smoking grenades flew back and forth from time to time, the explosion was deafening, and the debris and sawdust flew everywhere in the firelight.

Although the reaction was quick enough, it still failed to directly withstand Ma Jiajun's sudden all-out counterattack. The line of defense was broken through continuously.

The situation was very critical, and Shen Ke and Zhang Tingshu and others outside the city had already met and were discussing the military situation in the first temporary joint headquarters.

Suddenly, the telephone in the headquarters rang suddenly, and one of Shen Ke's staff officers walked over and picked up the phone, and after listening to a few words, his face changed greatly, and he turned his head to Shen Ke and said: "Division, it's not good, the Ma Jiajun in the city suddenly launched a counter-assault, and my attacking troops were caught off guard." After breaking through several lines of defense in a row, the current situation is very critical, and it is very likely that they will break out of the city. ”

"What?" Shen Ke changed color when he heard this, and immediately walked over and took the phone in his hand, "Hey, I'm Shen Ke, how is the situation now?" Where did the enemy break through? What the? A regiment commander, Lao Tzu told you, organize troops for me immediately. Block them, you can't let one go. ”

As soon as Shen Ke hung up the phone, Zhang Tingshu and Tao Dongfan surrounded him: "Old Shen, how is the situation?" ”

Shen Ke frowned. said: "Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui couldn't sit still, they wanted to escape, the momentum of the counterattack was very fierce, and one of my regiments was almost driven out by them." ”

"Then we need to quickly organize our forces to block it." Zhang Tingshu hurriedly said.

"I'll transfer the third regiment and the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters to prepare to block the city gate. Just in case, you two should hurry back as well, I estimate that the West Gate and the South Gate will be the focus of their breakthrough. We can't afford to be careless. Shen Kedao.

Zhang Tingshu and Tao Dongfan nodded and left with the adjutant, and Shen Ke quickly conveyed the order.

At the same time, the commanders of several other divisions also got the news and mobilized troops one after another to strictly block the attack.

Although the Ma Jiajun counterattacked fiercely in the initial stage of the city, it was eventually blocked by tanks and armored vehicles of the Northeast Frontier Army because of the small number of troops and the fact that Kankan rushed out of the city.

In the end, the breakthrough failed, Ma Buqing and Ma Hongbin died under the indiscriminate gunfire, and Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang were forced back into the city.

After the breakthrough failed, the Ma Jiajun in the city was greatly injured, and they were no longer able to organize troops to break through, so they had to retreat to the center of the city continuously.

The various units of the Northeast Frontier Army immediately turned from defense to attack, intensified their attacks, and by dawn, they had basically cleared the main force of the Ma Jiajun in the city.

There are less than 3,000 people left, relying on the compound of the provincial chairman where Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang are hiding, and they resist stubbornly.

Gui Sui City, Northeast Frontier Army Temporary Headquarters.

The sky was already bright, Zhang Xinghan had slept on the conference table for about two hours, he was too sleepy last night, and when he learned that the front line had broken out of the Ma Jiajun's breakthrough action, Zhang Xinghan fell asleep on the table.

Jiang Baili, who had been on duty all night, walked over with a smile and gently pushed him: "The main seat, the main seat." ”

Zhang Xinghan woke up, looked up at Jiang Baili, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Chief of Staff, what's wrong?" ”

"There is a call from the Yinchuan front, our army has basically cleared the main force of the Ma Jiajun in the city, and now there is a small area near the provincial chairman's compound and the Ma Jiajun resisting stubbornly.

It is expected that it should be the last hiding place of Ma Hongkui and others, the front-line troops stormed for a day and a night, and now the troops are very tired, so they have adopted the method of besieging but not attacking, Shen Ke They plan to surrender the remnants of the besieged Ma Jiajun, commander, do you think it is feasible? Jiang Baili said with a smile.

Zhang Xinghan had already occupied it, walked out of the headquarters, looked up at the sky, took two deep breaths of fresh air, turned his head and said: "The elite of the Ma family army no longer exists after this battle, Gansu and Qinghai can be passed on, and it is still somewhat useful to leave Ma Hongkui and the others."

Tell Shen Ke, surrender, give them a promise, as long as they are willing to surrender, I promise not to kill them. ”

"Well, Ma Jiajun's army is deeply entrenched in the three northwestern provinces, and it is far more useful to capture them alive than to kill them." Jiang Baili nodded approvingly.

"In addition, tell Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu and others that once Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang surrender, the 120,000-strong army will immediately divide into three routes and quickly take over and occupy all the territory of Ningma and Qingma." Zhang Xinghan raised his hand and commanded.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Jiang Baili nodded happily and immediately took the order.

……………………

In Yinchuan City, the compound of the provincial chairman.

The mass shouting and gunfire outside had stopped, but occasionally there were isolated gunshots, which were both sides firing cold shots at each other.

In the conference room, Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui sat on their chairs with dead faces, silent.

"Zixiang, what should we do?" Ma Hongkui broke the silence and asked Ma Bufang.

Ma Bufang glanced up at him, and said angrily: "How do I know, in order to reinforce your Lao Tzu, this time it is planted, and all the belongings are lost, Bu Qing is also dead, the surrender of the troops, and the death of the battle." ”

Ma Hongkui was also angry, and immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "Ma Bufang, don't talk about this nonsense, this time Lao Tzu's loss is not smaller than yours, and my eldest brother's life and death are unknown." ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, at this time, an adjutant with a black and gray face hurriedly ran in, and said to the two in an anxious tone: "Chairman, Chief Ma, the Northeast Frontier Army has sent someone to shout." ”

"Huh? What did you say? Ma Hongkui asked.

"They, they said they want us to surrender, as long as you are willing to surrender to him, Chairman, they promise not to kill any of them immediately!" The adjutant said cautiously.

"Surrender?" Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufanglian's faces changed at the same time, and they were no longer in the mood to quarrel.

Seeing that Ma Hongkui was silent, the adjutant was a little breathless, and said anxiously: "Chairman, you better hurry up and get an idea, they said that they would only give us three hours to think about it, and if there is no response after three hours, they will continue to attack and annihilate them all." ”

"How many more do we have?" Ma Hongkui looked up at Ma Bufang, turned his head and asked the adjutant.

The adjutant said with a sad face: "Less than two thousand." ”

"That's it, the army of 100,000 will be wiped out in a few days, and there is no need to lose the lives of the remaining 2,000 brothers." Ma Hongkui looked regretful, and suddenly asked Ma Bufang: "Zixiang, surrender, Zhang Xinghan wants to occupy the northwest, he still has to use us, and he won't kill us." ”

Ma Bufang bowed his head and was silent, and finally nodded helplessly.

Soon, the remaining 2,000 Ma Jiajun walked out of the fortifications under the leadership of Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui with white flags, and surrendered to the Northeast Frontier Army, which was waiting for battle.

Shen Ke and others quickly commanded the troops to capture the provincial chairman's compound and officially occupy Yinchuan City, and after the troops rested for a while, the divisions entered Gansu and Qinghai in batches according to Zhang Xinghan's order.

……………………

Three days later, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili arrived at Yinchuan City and met Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui, who were imprisoned in Yinchuan.

The two also met Zhang Xinghan face-to-face for the first time, and they were a little timid in addition to curiosity.

Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two: "Two, Xinghan led the army westward on the orders of the central army, and there are many offends, please don't hold grudges." Zhang Xinghan was very irresponsible and detained the basin on Chairman Jiang.

Erma glanced at each other in some surprise, shook hands with him suspiciously, didn't even dare to say it, and at the same time wondered in his heart, could it really be the ghost of Jiang Guangtou in Nanjing?

At the same time, Chairman Jiang, who was in Nanjing, couldn't help but sneeze a few times in a row, and Mrs. Jiang on the side stepped forward with a coat of concern and said: "Darling, the weather has not warmed yet, you should pay more attention and be careful of catching a cold." ”

Chairman Jiang put on his coat and waved his hand: "Madame, I'm fine." (To be continued......)
