Chapter 24: A New Great War (7)
Soldiers are fast.
After eating Ma Yuanxiang's Second Cavalry Brigade cleanly and cleaning up the battlefield a little, Li Jiansheng immediately issued a new combat order: he personally led the cavalry brigade of Shao Qianjian's department, Xu Zheng's mounted reconnaissance brigade, and the first and second regiments of Li Zhi's cavalry guard brigade to directly attack the first cavalry brigade of Ma Jiajun's army under Ma Buluan's department, and Wu Zheng led the cavalry special service brigade, as well as the third and fourth regiments of the cavalry guard brigade, with the goal of annihilating Liu Chengde's infantry regiment. Then, the various units combined to attack and kill the Ma Zhongyi Cavalry Brigade. Obviously, Li Jiansheng had torn off his calm veil, and the purpose was to use his own strength to forcefully destroy the Mabuluan Cavalry Brigade with three to one, or even five to one. In fact, the Ma Bu Luan Cavalry Brigade was the first cavalry brigade of Ma Bufang's 1st 00th Division, and it ranked first in terms of quantity and quality among his various divisions, so Li Jiansheng did not underestimate it, and insisted on sending two reinforced brigades and two regiments of cavalry to make the strength three times that of Ma Buluan's division. This is also Li Jiansheng's cautious action, knowing the interests of the Ma family's army, and his cavalry are all baby bumps, and he is reluctant to suffer losses, so he still adopts this superior force knowing that his individual combat strength is not under the Ma family's army, and the purpose is to completely annihilate the Ma Buluan army. As for Liu Chengde's infantry regiment, Li Jiansheng was quite affordable, so he sent a reinforced brigade and two regiments, and they were all cavalry. Fighting an infantry regiment with such strength, if it can't be completely annihilated or even fails, it is estimated that Wu Zheng, the leader of the troops, will wipe his neck and apologize.
Wu Zheng couldn't lose this face, Zhao Xun, the head of the Third Guard Regiment, and Chang Kewu, the head of the Fourth Guard Regiment, were all old Red Army, and the two "hard legs" of the group of cadres rescued by Li Jiansheng from the Central Soviet Region back then couldn't swallow this breath, and when several people saluted Li Jiansheng and said goodbye, they said in unison: Liu Chengde's infantry regiment in this battle But if one person escapes, it is not considered a credit! Li Jiansheng, who knew that he was not as good as a radical general, did not express his position at all, just looked at them coldly, and then dropped a sentence "I don't want to listen to cowhides, I just want to see the facts", and turned around and left. Leaving Wu Zheng, Zhao Xun, and Chang Kewu behind, Li Jiansheng himself led a large army directly to the Mabuluan Cavalry Brigade station.
Almost identical to prior estimates. After Li Jiansheng's division connected the 5th Division of Ma Buqing and the 100th Division of Ma Bufang, despite the rapid movement, Ma Buluan's headquarters still got the news and quickly assembled. However, the arrogant Ma Buluan still thinks that Ma Yuanxiang's department was obtained by the sneak attack of the red bandits, so he doesn't have much idea of the strength of Li Jiansheng's department, and still thinks that they are the kind of situation of the Western Route Army, and they are still only hunted down by themselves, so they don't pay too much attention to it. In Ma Buluan's view, this red bandit is afraid that it will come with revenge, and the sneak attack is acceptable, and it is absolutely impossible to fight against each other, so after informing Ma Bufang of the information, he led the troops to the southeast, wanting to have an encounter with Li Jiansheng's department, and then wipe out Li Jiansheng's department, so as to take full credit. And Li Jiansheng's side, because of Li Jiansheng's reasons, is familiar with the strength of Ma Buluan's department, so he attaches great importance to it, gathers heavy troops, and studies a new tactic, wanting to annihilate Ma Buluan's department in one fell swoop. Because Li Jiansheng expected that Ma Buluan would know some news, and also deduced that he would send troops to attack, the possibility of an encounter was greatly increased, so he informed the whole army. The whole army marched northwest for only two days, and then camped on the spot and rested well. On the third day, the two armies did meet. As soon as he came into contact, Ma Buluan's department suffered a dark loss. It turned out that for the two armies, Li Jiansheng's troops were obviously waiting for work, and he knew that Ma Buluan's troops were powerful, so the first batch of soldiers were all equipped with Thomson submachine guns and other repeating guns, except for sabers and horse guns, and some soldiers with extra strong bodies and strength were also equipped with light machine guns. Therefore, in the first round, as soon as Li Jiansheng's department came on the field, the firepower was poured out. With only one hand, the nearly two battalions of Ma Buluan's headquarters were gone. By the time Ma Buluan reacted, it was too late, and one of his entire brigades was surrounded by the cavalry of Li Jiansheng's two reinforced brigades and two regiments. Ma Buluan, who had suffered a loss before the battle, saw that it was surrounded, and it also inspired ruthlessness, not only did not retreat, but drew his saber and rushed straight at him. How could Li Jiansheng's subordinates be afraid of them? He also drew his sabers one by one and rushed straight over. There is only one person, that is, Li Jiansheng's department has a large number of people, basically three to one, plus these are all people from the cavalry brigade, special service brigade, and guard brigade, and their combat power is quite strong, and they are quite fully equipped, and each person has a short gun. In addition, several leaders are veterans who have followed Li Jiansheng for many years, and they know that Li Jiansheng regards the soldiers as precious, and he is reluctant to let them suffer casualties.
It's a pity, the soldiers of Ma Buluan's department are strong, but the heroes are difficult to defeat the four hands, not to mention the "four hands" whose strength is not under them, facing the three to one, and the method of open swords and hidden guns, although it also caused a little damage to Li Jiansheng's department, but it is almost negligible. In less than two hours, the encounter ended with the annihilation of Ma Buluan's troops, and Ma Buluan himself was first cut off by Shao Qianqian's left arm, and then killed by Li Zhi. At the cost of 26 casualties and 313 wounded, Li Jiansheng's unit won the victory of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Mabu Luan Division. This battle later went down in history. Because some historians believe that this is the first time that Li Jiansheng's department has fought hard against the enemy since its establishment, and it ended in a complete victory. Some people in later generations said that Li Jiansheng would only sneak attack, not fight a tough battle, and could not be called a military god, and this battle has obviously become an ironclad proof that many Li Jiansheng's military fans refute the other party: This is a tough battle, and it is a fight, and the most important thing is that it is a complete victory! Annihilated the other side, and it was the cavalry brigade of the Ma Jiajun, who was quite strong. As a result, in the controversy on the Internet in later generations, as long as Li Jiansheng's military fans put this battle on the table, opponents stopped talking one after another, or turned to other things. Of course, this is also a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
