rumble

Explosions rang out one after another, herds of cattle and sheep rushed out of the drawbridge, and from time to time livestock were killed, and frightened fellows ran in all directions, trampling most of the mines in the north of the city. However, more than 200 cows, sheep and horses released from the other three city gates did not move at all. There was no movement at the west gate and the south gate, and there was an explosion in the east of the city. There were livestock strikes in a row.

The corners of the mouths of Ma Hongbin and the others who heard the report twitched, and they wasted so much energy, it turned out that the south and west of the city were using empty city plans. gave hundreds of livestock to the other party for food. The minefields of several city gates were cleared, but Ma Hongbin and others were still not at ease, according to the Japanese, these mines could be cleared and could be laid down again at any time.

Looking at the situation of the 45th Army, it should be that the number of mines is insufficient, or it may be that there are logistical difficulties, and the mines that have been transported temporarily are limited. However, although the Japanese gave Ma Hongbin a lot of advice, they were quite pessimistic about the Ma family, who could expect such a backward army to compete with the 45th Army that had fought with the Japanese? As for Ma Jiajun's plan to fight when there was only half of the opponent's strength left, the Japanese in Yinchuan City could only say in their hearts that those who did not know were fearless.

After suffering several heavy losses in a row, he realized that the 45th Army in front of him was indeed a very strong army, and the Ma Jiajun was much more cautious in the later operations, and the cavalry sent out would no longer be hard to meet the enemy with slightly more troops. Except for Ma Buqing's cavalry and Xu Sheng's cavalry brigade, there were not many other big fights, and the battle was very calm for several days. However, the atmosphere of the decisive battle became more and more solemn. Because more and more 45th Army appeared outside the city, three cavalry brigades arrived outside Yinchuan City, and there were also two mixed brigades of Zhao Feng and Zhang Zhibang. Ren Jianguo's provisional 5th Brigade, Xiao Weiguo's artillery brigade, Jiang Li also rushed to the outside of Yinchuan with the guard regiment. In view of the lack of combat power and firepower shown by Ma Jiajun, Jiang Li's bold troops were divided into three routes, blocking the east and west of Yinchuan City respectively. The north three sides, leaving only the south side, the old routine of surrounding three ques. Routines are old, but they don't necessarily have to be useless.

The fighting was not very fierce for four or five days in a row, first, the morale of the Ma Jiajun dropped a lot after suffering several losses. Jiang Li is because of the difficulties of logistics and transportation, to ensure the safety of immigrants who began to enter Ningxia, a lot of preparations, these four or five days can be called the calm before the storm, and finally Xiao Weiguo's artillery brigade is also in place, Jiang Li also stood thousands of meters outside Yinchuan City.

"The main force of the Ma family's army is in Yinchuan City. After this battle, Ningxia will be our 45th Army. Finding a place to stay, Feng Zhanhai said excitedly on his face, and then asked, "How did the other troops arrange their seats, why didn't they come to Yinchuan City, if they were all transferred, it would be enough to block Yinchuan on all sides." Tens of thousands of Ma Jiajun could not fly. ”

Ma Jiajun was also stubborn and refused to come out and surrender. A battle of tens of thousands of people, after a battle, I am afraid that Yinchuan City will be destroyed soon. Jiang Li shook his head, the reason why Ma Jiajun fell into such a situation so quickly was by no means as useless as he appeared now. The core strength of the Ma Jiajun is the cavalry, and the most unauthorized thing about the cavalry is its mobility ability. But Ma Hongbin, Ma Lin and others were the defenders, and they all wanted to hold on to several important points and drag down his 45th Army. If it is about defending the city, it is not worthy of carrying shoes for the 45th army. With their own shortcomings against the strengths of the 45 Army. How could it be pleased.

"My uncle took the police station corps and Li Guofei's 2nd Brigade to Qinghai, and Zhao Tieshu took the 3rd Brigade to Wuwei. Wang Tiehan led the mixed 1st Brigade to Longdong. ”

"Junzuo's mind is really not small, after this battle, the foundation of the Ma family has been wiped out, not to mention, even most of Gansu is only south of Lanzhou, and the Longnan area is not under the control of the military government." Not only Feng Zhanhai, but also Xu Sheng, Yang Yaofeng and others were also flushed with excitement.

"Now the morale of the army is still available, it would be too wasteful not to take down these places in one go, integrate resources, and let those soil emperors spoil them." Jiang Li smiled when he heard this. As long as the Ma Jiajun is defeated, the forces in Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai will be scattered at all, and it will not be a problem. His 45th Army started with the anti-Japanese resistance, and will go all the way on the road of resistance against Japan, with the anti-Japanese war and rejuvenation of the country as the core to unite the military and the people in the northwest, and the Japanese army is about to invade Jinzhou, and even march into the area of the Great Wall. And Jiang Li wants to complete the industrial layout of the entire northwest, and if he does not flatten out the local forces in various places as soon as possible, how can there be so many times in the future, even if it is winter and it is inconvenient to use troops, he can only grit his teeth to overcome the difficulties, and the current difficulty is only the weather, compared to the battlefield of blood and fire in Fengtian, the battle in the northwest is undoubtedly easier.

"Also, God does not take it, but suffers from it. Since the military seat now has the conditions to take the northwest, it will not be good for us to let the northwest continue to be chaotic. Xiao Weiguo nodded and said.

"Are the artillery ready?" Jiang Li asked.

Xiao Weiguo took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, nodded and said, "Count the time, it's okay now." ”

"Then let's start, try to hit the city wall as much as possible, and leave some vitality for Yinchuan City." Jiang Li sighed, fighting a war must mean casualties, and because of the Ma family's insistence, Yinchuan City does not know how much to suffer this time, but he has no choice, if he continues to stalemate under the city, if it drags on for one more day, his speed of integrating the resources of the northwest will be slower by one day, and the bodhisattva's heart will be carried out by thunderbolt means, and the long pain is better than the short pain.

Xiao Weiguo nodded, and outside the Beicheng Gate in the distance, the artillery position of the 45th Army assembled 75MM field artillery, and more than fifty mountain guns, which was far worse than Fengtian, but it was probably the first time in the history of the Northwest War.

"Fire!" With the order of Zhang Xianming, the commander of the artillery regiment, more than 50 cannons fired deadly shells one after another.

Ma Hongbin was about to take a few people to the top of the city to check the situation, the people were still under the city, and the sound of the sound was connected, Ma Hongbin was a little wrong, this is the sound of cannonballs, but it is inevitably a little too much. Rumble! Just as he was thinking about it, a house dozens of meters away behind him collapsed in the explosion. In order to guard the convenience, some houses near the city gate were forcibly requisitioned by Ma Hongbin, driving the people to the area close to the city, and before the arrival of the 45th Army, Ma Hongbin forcibly moved some nearby residents into Yinchuan City, resulting in people living on the streets now, but Ma Hongbin's move also reduced the casualties of some people.

Turning around, he saw that the small two-story building behind him had been reduced to nothing in the firelight. It was originally inhabited, and the resting soldiers didn't even have time to make a sound before they turned into nothing.

Ma Hongbin was trembling in his heart, fortunately, when his mother wanted to smoke before, she found that she forgot to bring matches, otherwise she would have been taken to Allah by this firework after a few puffs there. (To be continued......)
