Chapter 26: A New Great War (9)
Annihilated Liu Chengde's regiment, Wu Zheng and others immediately switched to battle and went straight to the Ma Zhongyi Cavalry Brigade.
At that time, Ma Zhongyi had already learned the news that the red bandits had committed a serious crime against Gan and Ning, and immediately made preparations for battle, but because he did not know the situation of Ma Yuanxiang, Liu Chengde, and Ma Buluan, and because Ma Bufang had no local area, he did not know how to attack for a while. As a result, his side defended, Wu Zheng's troops attacked, and there was an exchange of fire at the moment, and in the first round, there were losses on both sides. Although Wu Zheng's troops did not suffer much losses, as a famous wise and brave general under Li Jiansheng, he was not in a hurry, but just consumed with Ma Zhongyi and prepared before the battle. He also knew that Li Jiansheng's brigade was coming, and he was in a hurry to kill Ma Zhongyi at this time, although he was able to win in the end, but it was estimated that the loss of the department was very large, and he knew Li Jiansheng's character, and he was unwilling to fight to the death at this moment. Despite this, he still sends elite soldiers every day, touching a few tongues today, and snipers tomorrow to beat a few emerging Ma Jiajun. After a few days, Ma Zhongyi became deaf and blind, and he lost a lot of money inexplicably, and more importantly, his morale was extremely low.
When Li Jiansheng brought a large army over, Wu Zheng was full of confidence, but Ma Zhongyi's department was still blind in the deaf country and could not figure out the details of the Red Army.
At that time, after several major battles, Ma Bufang's troops were killed, their arms were confiscated, and Li Jiansheng established a mule and horse artillery unit. Of course, whether it is a horse or a cannon, except for a small part that was brought at the beginning, the others are all made from local materials and directly obtained from Ma Bufang. At this time, all these things will be handed over to Wu Zheng. Wu Zheng became the commander of the former enemy, responsible for commanding the Red Army of four whole brigades to annihilate the Ma Zhongyi Brigade on the opposite side. As for Li Jiansheng himself, he immediately rushed to meet Dong Zhentang.
The meeting between Li Jiansheng and Dong Zhentang was as warm as expected. For Li Jiansheng, Dong Zhentang is a rare general in our army, a tough guy, and one of the founders of the Red Fifth Army. As far as Dong Zhentang is concerned, although Li Jiansheng is younger than himself, he has made great achievements, and the two can be said to be friends and sympathize with each other. What's more, Li Jiansheng had helped him and the Red Fifth Army many times before. You must know that in the early days of the Red Army's Long March, the two of them met. At that time, Li Jiansheng was the commander of the Red Seventh Army Corps, and Dong Zhentang was the commander of the Red Fifth Army Corps. The Red Fifth Army had few men, few troops, and few weapons. Li Jiansheng's Red Seventh Army did not lack support him with personnel and weapons. Of course, most of those who supported were prisoners. Dong Zhentang supported many veteran cadres of the Red Seventh Army. Huang Qiyue, one of the "four masters" of the Red Fifth Army, was the highest-ranking person who supported the Red Seventh Army by the Red Fifth Army at that time, and he was a regiment commander when he was in the Red Fifth Army, directly subordinate to Ji Zhentong, and now he is the deputy commander of the Red 15th Division of the Red Third Front Army. As for Ji Zhentong, deputy commander of the Red Fifth Army Corps, who was also one of the "Four Heroes," he was rescued by Li Jiansheng from the guns of the Suppression Committee in advance in the Central Soviet Region, and is now serving as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Red Third Front. Ji Zhentong and Huang Qiyue, according to the official history, had already died in the hands of their own people and were wrongly killed by the anti-rebellion committee in the name of rebellion. Fortunately, this time, because of Li Jiansheng, the two were not only rescued, but also won important positions. You must know that although the current Red Fifth Army is still small in number after being supplemented by all sides, the former Red Seventh Army is now the Red Third Front Army, which is even higher than the Red Fourth Front Army, with a total strength of 100,000 people! Ji Zhentong and Huang Qiyue, that is, the tide has already risen! As for Chen Bosheng, one of the "Four Masters", he had died in his early years.
According to the official history, Dong Zhentang should have been in January 1937, after leading his troops to attack Gaotai County, Gansu, he was besieged by more than 20,000 troops of Ma Bufang, and after 10 days of fierce fighting between the two sides, he was martyred with more than 3,000 subordinate soldiers. In this life, for various reasons, Dong Zhentang participated in this battle in advance, and he was not martyred, but was seriously injured and captured, but most of his subordinates were martyred. Dong Zhentang, who originally thought that his life was on the stake, had already made up his mind: his head could be broken and blood could be shed, but if he wanted to be a traitor and give up his own doctrine, it was absolutely impossible! When Wu Zheng's spy brigade soldiers rushed into the cell, Dong Zhentang still thought that Ma Bufang and others had come to kill his head, and he already had the bottom in his heart, so he straightened his clothes with a calm expression, thinking that he was a dignified Red Army general and a communist fighter, and how he had to maintain his appearance before he died, and how he had to have the momentum of a soldier. Unexpectedly, when his eyes adjusted to the light in the prison that had changed a little due to the wide opening of the prison door, he found that it was soldiers with red pentagram stars like his own troops who rushed in, and the special clothing on those soldiers reminded him of his Red Army comrades-in-arms who were still wearing the same clothes during the Red Army's Long March, which the young regiment commander called "camouflage uniforms".
Dong Zhentang did not expect to be saved by Li Jiansheng's department this time, and then immediately arranged for treatment. Hearing that he was the commander of the Red Fifth Army, Wu Zheng and a few others also came to visit him. In his heart, he wanted to meet Li Jiansheng, but he was told by Wu Zheng that the commander-in-chief was now leading his troops to attack the enemy in another place, so he didn't say much. Unexpectedly, today I suddenly saw Li Jiansheng coming in. Therefore, as soon as he saw Li Jiansheng walk into the door, he immediately got up to greet him, but was supported by Li Jiansheng, so he hurriedly asked the doctor who came with him to treat. After a little diagnosis, he got a positive reply from the doctor, saying that Commander Dong was in a good state, Li Jiansheng didn't say anything, but just talked to Dong Zhentang.
Not to mention that Dong and Li are talking hotly here, Wu Zheng led his troops to attack Ma Zhongyi's troops over there, and they are also in full swing. Wu Zhengye is not a good person, seeing that he has many people and weapons in place, he set out to bully Ma Zhongyi, but let the artillery bombard Ma Zhongyi's station. It's a pity, Ma Zhongyi is still a well-known intellectual, but he still didn't think that his station would be attacked like this, so it was not a strong wall, which was bombarded by Wu Zheng's artillery for 30 minutes, and the small earth city was destroyed in more than one place. Soon, several of the collapsed places were occupied by the Red Army. You must know that these warriors who came to the northwest with Li Jian were all all-powerful on horses and horses, and this son dismounted to attack the city, that was their old job. In just a few rounds, they set up machine guns on the collapse of several Tucheng and fired at Ma Jiajun.
Ma Zhongyi knew that he was completely passive, and these collapses had completely become the nodes for the red bandits to enter the city, and in the next step, these red bandits would continue to enter the city through these places, and once they entered the city, their troops would be finished. Unspeakable, Ma Zhongyi, who regretted underestimating the enemy, immediately organized cavalry to rush out of the city, wanting to carry forward his strengths and fight with the red bandits outside the city.
It's a pity that Wu Zheng didn't let him get his wish. Ma Zhongyi's troops are going to go out of the city, okay, I agree, but before the machine gun fire. When I finally got out of the city gate, before I could assemble, there was another rain of machine guns and bullets, plus grenade bombardment from time to time. When you assemble a little, it's a burst of artillery bombardment, plus strafing from machine guns and Thomson submachine guns on the periphery, as well as pistols, carbines, and rifles. In this way, in Ma Zhongyi's cracked teeth, his entire brigade has been comforted by the unusually powerful firepower of the red bandits he thinks. Most of those soldiers of the Ma family army were beaten into a sieve and killed one after another before they could directly receive the fire.
Ma Zhongyi's eyes were red when he saw his troops being intercepted and killed like this, and he couldn't care about the dissuasion of his adjutant, so he forcibly led the team out to fight to the death with the red bandits. However, Wu Zheng still didn't let him get his wish. As soon as he showed his head, he was immediately shot in the head with a three-shot sniper rifle. He was also killed along with his deputy brigade commander, chief of staff and other officers. You must know that Wu Zheng's special service brigade has always done this work, and his predecessor was Li Jiansheng who personally created a sniper squadron and a special operations squadron. Later, the sniper squadron was divided into two, the first sniper squadron has now developed into a specialized sniper battalion, and the second sniper squadron has been merged with the special operations squadron and has slowly developed into today's special service brigade. But this tactic is in the same vein, that is, to fight the enemy's leader. Ma Zhongyi can be stared at to death, because Wu Zheng let the first special service brigade sneak into Tucheng early, and his Ma Zhongyi's command post has already been exposed, and Xu Jingzong, the leader of the Red Army's special operations team, is still thinking about how to attack and carry out "beheading", but he didn't expect Ma Zhongyi to come out by himself. At that moment, several people's guns were aimed at him, the man with Venus on his shoulder. Ma Zhongyi is a brigade commander, with the rank of major general, and of course a gold star on his shoulder. This recognition target, the special service brigade is a basic course, so as soon as he appeared, he immediately died. Several people around him did not escape, and they were also shot in the head one by one. Because in Li Jiansheng's department, there is an unwritten rule: all the people next to the enemy leader are also the targets that must be sniped, not to mention that the rank of colonel on the shoulders of the deputy brigade commander next to Ma Zhongyi is also familiar to Xu Jingzong, and of course he will not let it go. Unnoticed, Ma Zhongyi and the others were all sniped and killed by the soldiers of the special service brigade who were mixed in, but compared to the three regiment commanders under him, he died slowly, because the three regiments had a total of three regiment commanders and three deputy commanders, and they had been sniped to the point that only one deputy regiment commander remained. Of course, the loss rate of such regimental-level commanders is also related to the fact that the grass-roots commanders of Ma Jiajun did not know the operational characteristics of Li Jiansheng's unit and still followed their original style of fighting in the front.
When the battle comes to this, there is no suspense. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, when Li Jiansheng and Dong Zhentang were talking with great interest and eating roast mutton made by Li Jiansheng together, Ma Zhongyi's brigade announced that the whole army was annihilated.
As usual, these Ma Jiajun also did not leave a single living mouth, of course, this time Wu Zheng did not kill prisoners, but did not take prisoners at all, and directly killed the enemy on the battlefield. The post-war clean-up went well. Joke, in addition to the two regiments of the Guard Brigade who are responsible for guarding, the remaining three whole brigades and two regiments of soldiers are responsible for clearing and occupying the field, how can these Red Army soldiers, who have long been like locusts in transit, not clean up?
When Wu Zheng led a few soldiers into Dong Zhentang's room carrying two Red Army generals who were blurred in flesh and blood, but still sane, both of them were stunned. Li Jiansheng's head suddenly made a loud "bang", and he remembered something at once: These two Red Army generals, aren't they?
