Chapter 21: A New Great War (4)
Wuwei is Ma Buqing's base camp. This time, Li Jiansheng's department used the tactics of "digging out the heart" to serve the pot. After taking over Ma Buqing's grain and horses in an all-round way, Li Jiansheng did not stop, and immediately recruited troops on the spot and bought horses. Anyway, this money is captured by Ma Buqing, so there is no need to use it in vain, and the horses in Gansu are good, so buy more if you can. In addition to confiscating nearly 2,000 horses from those bullies and landlords, Li Jiansheng also purchased more than 400 horses. You know, this is not an ordinary brigade, but a reinforced brigade. Fortunately, when each soldier of this brigade was training, horseback riding was a necessary course, and this time he directly became a cavalryman, which was also a very smooth thing.
However, Li Jiansheng did not plan to let Xu Kai's cavalry reconnaissance brigade have a good rest. After thinking about it for a while, he directly called Xu Kai to rush over, and asked them to fight continuously, move quickly, and take Han Qilu's second cavalry brigade in one fell swoop under his personal leadership; The reconnaissance brigade was led by Wu Zheng and attacked the artillery regiment directly under the 5th Cavalry Division. At the same time, Li Jiansheng ordered Shao's advancing cavalry brigade to attack the infantry brigade of Qiming Mountain. Yun Tian led the main force of the Red 18th Division to attack the engineer regiment and the special service battalion of the 5th Cavalry Division respectively. As for Zeng Zhongsheng, he led the army to quickly occupy a mountain, hurriedly built fortifications, and prepared to encircle and annihilate the Majia army in the northwest.
It has to be said that Li Jiansheng's arrangements were very thorough, and in addition, he had taken down the code book of the headquarters of the Fifth Cavalry Division in advance, and in addition, all the principal responsible persons of the Fifth Cavalry Division were holding meetings in Qinghai, and Li Jiansheng's special service brigade and reconnaissance brigade were very strong in combat and caught the enemy off guard. After Ma Buqing's 5th Cavalry Division was killed by Li Jiansheng in the early morning of the same day, the 1st Cavalry Brigade, including the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, the Infantry Brigade, and the Artillery Regiment directly under it, all fell into the hands of Li Jiansheng that night. A little later, the engineer regiment and the special service battalion were also gone.
Almost the entire army captured the 5th Cavalry Division. Li Jiansheng didn't say a word, he shot to death all those who had the blood of Red Army soldiers on their hands, and suppressed all those middle- and lower-level officers who were determined to die. This is the traditional style of Li Jiansheng's unit, which is not in any way different from other units. Although there was also Luo Ronghuan's opposition in the past, but now that Luo Political Commissar is not there, whether it is Wu Zheng or Xu Kai, or Yun Tian and Shao Qianjian, they are all Li Jiansheng's hardcore generals, and they know his intentions very well, so they did not hesitate to carry out Li Jiansheng's iron-blooded orders. And Li Jiansheng had to give such an order. First, of course, there are reasons why he hates these Ma Jiajun, and second, he, a person from later generations, knows too much about the cruelty of these Ma Jiajun. These people are die-hards, and it is extremely difficult to reform, and the best way is to kill them. If it weren't for the fact that these people did something in the history of resistance against Japan, he would have almost wanted to slaughter these people. Three, at the moment, he is quietly leading his troops to fight in the enemy's hinterland, that is, there is no room for a little mistake, and only this way can these remnants of the Ma Jiajun army not be able to resist in a short period of time. As long as the main force comes up, then everything is easy to say.
I have to say that Li Jiansheng's hand is very good. In the past, these brutal and unchanging Ma Jiajun soldiers, when it was their turn to be shot, many of them relented. You know, whether it is Wu Zheng's spy brigade or Xu Kai's reconnaissance brigade, which one is not killed from the pile of dead people? Right now, in order to deter the enemy, it is murderous, not to mention, in front of those bandits, once the people are confirmed, directly point the gun at the heads of these backbones, that is, pull the trigger! That kind of ruthlessness, this Ma Jiajun is still strong! In this way, these people were shocked at once! In this way, after killing a batch of them, I came to do the division of troops again, which was very smooth!
It's a pity, the 5th Division of Ma Buqing, which is famous in history, was wiped out by Li Jiansheng quietly in just one round! By the time Ma Buqing knew, it was already 3 days later. He learned that things were not good when the telegram was sent to his troops to prepare for action after the results had been discussed at a meeting of the four horses. At this time, the vanguard of Li Jiansheng's unit had completely eaten his troops. Now, after a series of receiving, purchasing, and confiscation, his spy brigade is now all cavalry!
Of course, Li Jiansheng not only has this gain, after the whole annihilation of Ma Buqing's whole division, his forward troops did not stop, directly into Qinghai, before Ma Buqing's younger brother Ma Bufang reacted, Li Jiansheng personally led Shao Qianqian Cavalry Brigade, Wu Zheng Cavalry Special Agent Brigade, Xu Kai's Cavalry Reconnaissance Brigade, and Li Zhi's Cavalry Guard Regiment to the 100th Division. You must know that at that time, Ma Bufang was the commander of the new Second Army of the Army and the commander of the 100th Division, under the jurisdiction of three cavalry brigades of Ma Buluan, Ma Yuanxiang and Ma Zhongyi, as well as an infantry regiment of Liu Chengde. The three brigades and one regiment led by Li Jiansheng at present are all the most elite cavalry units of the Red Third Front Army, and the first attack is the Ma Yuanxiang Cavalry Brigade under Ma Bufang.
For Ma Yuanxiang, Li Jiansheng has always looked down on him. This guy Ma Tingxiang's elder brother, when he encircled and suppressed the Red Army two months ago, he was the vanguard, and later he was promoted from a regiment commander to the current brigade commander. In 1940, he served as the deputy commander of the 8th Cavalry Division, and later served as the deputy commander of the 7th District Security Command of Qinghai Province. During the Liberation War, he served as a major general of the 82nd Army of the National Revolutionary Army. On October 28, 1949, he joined the People's Liberation Army of the People's Liberation Army in the People's Liberation Army of Chinese Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he defected in 1950 and served as the commander of the 102nd Route of the Kuomintang Southwest ** National Salvation Army. Under the control and command of the Kuomintang airdrop spies, they wandered through Qinghai, southern Gansu, and northwest Sichuan, developing troops and carrying out sabotage activities. In March 1953, the Northwest Military Region and the Southwest Military Region of the People's Liberation Army took joint action to encircle, suppress and annihilate the remnants of these two Kuomintang troops (Ma Yuanxiang and Ma Liangbu), and captured Cheng Yujie, the special agent "Northwest Liaison Commissioner" airdropped by the Kuomintang. Later, after the key attacks and sub-divisional suppressions, most of the remaining stubborn elements, such as hidden spies and bandit leaders who slipped through the net, had reactionary experience in covert struggle. All localities have adopted a reform movement centered on land reform to mobilize the masses in depth, arm the masses, and report and expose and eradicate the social conditions on which bandits depend for their survival. In May 1953, he was killed by the bandit suppression unit of the Second Field Army of the People's Liberation Army in the Qiaoliu area of Qinghai Province. For this kind of person who goes back on his word, Li Jiansheng wants to get rid of the first one. Therefore, he personally led this elite cavalry unit to rush away!
