Chapter 368: Dingjun Northwest

Zhang Xuewu knew that his family could not launch a strategic counterattack against the Kwantung Army, or that the time for a counterattack was not yet ripe, Zhang Xuewu knew that he needed time to develop and build now, Rehe, Suiyuan, Chahar, the entire west and half of Shanxi, there were all the resources that Zhang Xuewu needed, coal, steel, copper, aluminum, lead, nickel and other rare metals, before Zhang Xuewu hoarded a large amount of tungsten sand, oil from the Yumen Oilfield, Zhang Xuewu can be said to have done everything, A large amount of industrial equipment purchased by the United States turned industrial raw materials into weapons and materials that could be used for war, and the only problem for Zhang Xuewu was the problem of rubber.

The Soviets made peace with him was something Zhang Xuewu expected, but Zhang Xuewu thought that it would be at least two to three years later, and as a result, due to the unexpected rise of the Germans, the Soviets' attitude towards the Soviets began to change dramatically, and the future Soviet-Finnish war would make the Germans see the opportunity to defeat this red monster?

Zhang Xuewu has never calculated how much he purchased arms from Germany before and after $1.73 billion, and what a huge amount of capital input this is for Germany, whose economic system is facing collapse. Let the Germans have funds to ensure the development and research of their military industry, so that the British and French authorities are very red-eyed, helpless Zhang Xuewuzhi loves the Germans, now the German side and the Chinese political axe basically cut off the arms sales trade, turned to the Ben and Italy, Britain and France also took the opportunity to the national political axe side to fall into the ground, through Hong Kong transit medicine and strategic materials were charged special tariffs, in the most difficult moment for the Chinese people, when the [***] people counted the bullets in the chamber to bravely resist the enemy, The British are still dragging China back?

The selfishness of the British is obvious to the whole world, so much so that the Germans bombed the British Isles into rubble by the Germans, but the British stuck the neck of the Chinese side, and the only happy person was the person himself, who had reached a preliminary intention of a secret agreement with the Soviet side, and the Soviet experts and military advisers also began to retreat accordingly, and the first batch of Soviet officers and soldiers of the volunteer air force to aid China who returned to the Soviet Union said goodbye to the pilots of the 10th theater of operations at the Chengde airport, and the scene can be described as tear-jerking. However, these Chinese and Soviet pilots probably did not expect that they would one day face each other against each other.

The Soviet Union's assistance to China has only been two and a half years since the first time, but it has indeed given great help to the Chinese National Axe and the Tenth War Zone, but due to the great changes in history, the Soviet Union's dialogue assistance ended ahead of schedule, and his combined fleet can deter the Soviet Union, a behemoth of the Red Empire, and naturally can deal with the European and American forces in Southeast Asia, and the British Far East Fleet knows that it is not his opponent. So he immediately sailed to Singapore to make peace with the main force, and in the eyes of the British, China's reunification is not in line with Britain's consistent interests, especially a strong leader like Zhang Xuewu, as long as the interests of the British Empire in Central China and the Yangtze River valley are protected, the British do not care about China's sovereignty and other issues!

Even if China perished, as long as the interests of the British Empire in China were not damaged, the British gentlemen would still be able to sit still and calm down.

Zhang Xuewu looked at the establishment of his troops, it can be said that he has been walking at the dangerous limit of reckless force, if once Zhou Ying's capital chain has a problem, then Zhang Xuewu's tenth theater may not be able to maintain it for half a year, so the huge troop consumption makes Zhang Xuewu have to continue to fight one continuous battle after another.

On the map, the 1st Armored Division, the 1st Honorary Division, the 1st Division, the 3rd Division, the 5th Division, and the 7th Division of the Youth Army are attached to the 1st and 2nd Brigades of Field Heavy Artillery, and the 1st Brigade of Mobile Rocket Artillery! The 1st Armored Cavalry Reconnaissance Regiment, the Engineer Regiment, the Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment, the Anti-Chemical Regiment, the 1st Field Hospital, the 1st Flying Fighter Division, and the North China Cluster formed were deployed in Longhua to directly threaten the Pingjin area! Hao Wenbin, commander of the cluster, commanded all the units to prepare for the recovery of Pingjin.

The Northeast Cluster, which was formed by the Second Armored Division, the Tiger Division, the newly formed 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th Divisions of the Youth Army, the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Field Heavy Artillery, the 2nd Mobile Rocket Artillery Brigade, the Special Reconnaissance Brigade directly under the 1st Armored Cavalry, the Engineer Regiment, the Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment, the Anti-Chemical Regiment, the Third Field Hospital, and the 3rd Flying Fighter Division, under the command of Commander Zhanyang, was on the front line of the Chenbingshan Customs, with the cooperation of the Chaoyang garrison, to maintain pressure on the Kwantung Army.

Zhang Xuewu himself served as the commander of the Central Cluster, under the jurisdiction of the Third Armored Division, the new Ninth and Tenth Divisions of the Youth Army, the Fifth and Sixth Brigades of the Field Heavy Artillery, the Third Brigade of the Mobile Rocket Artillery, the Engineer Regiment, the Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment, the Chemical Defense Regiment, the Second Field Hospital, the Second Flying Fighter Division, and all the bomber units.

Previously, Zhang Xuewu personally formed the Northwest Cluster, appointed Huang Tao as the commander of the cluster, and in Yinchuan, the new 11th and 12th Divisions of the Youth Army were the backbone, supplementing the 700 grassroots officers of the Baotou Military Academy's short training class, and the five garrison divisions transferred from various places constituted the main force of the Northwest Cluster, and its subordinate Youth Army New 11th Division, 12th Division, 13th Division, 14th Division, and 15th Division, the 7th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 4th and 5th Mobile Rocket Artillery Brigades, the 1st Light Regiment, the 2nd Light Regiment, and the 3rd Light Regiment. The 5th and 6th Fighter Aircraft Brigades, it can be said that the lightly armed regiment is almost a nightmare for Ma Jiajun on the thousand-mile Gobi Desert!

Although the officers and men of the [***] team of the Xuzhou bloody battle used their lives, once the army contracted its defense, it was difficult for the [***] team, which lacked heavy weapons and air supremacy, to make a rapid breakthrough in the attack, and the decisive battle evolved into an unprecedented war of attrition, and Zhang Xuewu took the newly opened Cheng, Bao, Yin, and Lan lines to go straight to Lanzhou.

In fact, there are already five two-way railway lines between Chengde and Baotou, and Baotou has also laid two railways between Yinchuan, and the railway between Lanzhou and Yinchuan has been broken through for the first time.

In the decisive battle of Lanzhou, the arrogant Ma Bufang commanded the combined forces of Ningxia, Qinghai, and Gansu provinces and the 11th and 12th divisions of the Youth Army under Huang Tao's department, the 7th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 4th Mobile Rocket Artillery Brigade were the main frontal forces to undertake the attack, and the 1st Light Regiment, the 2nd Light Regiment, The 3rd Light Regiment penetrated deep into the left and right flanks of Lanzhou City.

It can be said that all the troop movements of Ma Bufang were all mastered by the aerial reconnaissance sent by Huang Tao, so the artillery unit to which Huang Tao belonged disrupted Ma Bufang's comprehensive deployment with incomparably accurate artillery fire, and the cavalry unit that Ma Jiajun was proud of was equivalent to hitting the copper wall headlong in the face of the new unit of the youth army with fierce firepower, and also hit a head and broke the bloodstream.

Ma Bufang's 100,000 troops, who were defeated head-on, did not wait for them to gather again and fight again, but they were ambushed by the 13th Division of the Northwest Cluster Youth Army, and the retreat turned into a real rout, while at the same time, the 14th Division of the Youth Army and the 15th Division of the Youth Army began to disperse their forces and began to enter various parts of Gansu to take over local power and suppress the remnants of the horse bandits.

The routed Ma Jiajun was roamed by the three vicious wolves of the 1st Light Regiment, the 2nd Light Regiment, and the 3rd Light Regiment, constantly biting down one bite at a time, and using the horse team to deal with the Foxhound armored vehicle with a fully enclosed turret is undoubtedly tantamount to suicide.

In addition, the continuous sorties of jackal light tanks, and finally Ma Bufang and other high-ranking generals were killed in Jiuquan, more than 57,000 of their officers and soldiers were captured, and horses and materials were not counted, due to the early entry of the seven combat detachments of Qin Buer's special operations cluster, all the private property of Ma Hongkui, Ma Bufang and others was intercepted and seized, especially Ma Hongkui's old house in Ningxia, which actually seized 1,100 kilograms of gold bricks and more than 20 million silver dollars of various types? Therefore, after receiving the news of the comprehensive victory in the Northwest Campaign, Zhang Xuewu immediately took the Great Wall special train to Lanzhou.

The northwest has been regarded by Zhang Xuewu as his own backyard, Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang and others are just the role of the clown in Zhang Xuewu's eyes, the northwest is a fact, and it is a multi-ethnic mixed area, since ancient times, the ethnic problem is quite serious, and now the Wuhan national political axe is busy with the battle of Xuzhou, trying to counterattack the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region, and strive to recover the capital, so the battle is extremely tragic, and the main attack task of the [***] troops can be said to take turns to fight, and the Kou repeatedly fight.

The tragedy of the Xuzhou War made Wuhan naturally flawlessly take care of Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang and others who cried for their fathers and mothers in the northwest, and Zhang Xuewu also planned a famous plan for himself very wisely!

Before attacking Ma Jiajun, Zhang Xuewu overwhelmingly publicized Ma Jiajun's atrocities and harsh administration to Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai, pointing out that 90 percent of his taxes were in violation of the tax laws designated by the national political axe, and that they were all very taxed, that he cultivated opium to poison the people, that he illegally amassed wealth and raised soldiers and bullied the people of all nationalities, and that his life was corrupt and arrogant, that he robbed tombs and dug up national treasures, and that he sold Koranic scrolls to the British, and so on.
