The three cavalry division commanders who stayed in the rear looked at the cavalry rushing to the Red Army positions in waves, and at first they all looked very proud. Such a cavalry charge, even if they are used to seeing a cavalry charge, they rarely see such a scene.

I just listened to the gunfire coming from the front more and more intensively, and I didn't see a single cavalry rushing into the Red Army's blocking position. The three cavalry division commanders seemed to realize that something was wrong with the situation. The firepower of the Red Army, beyond their expectations.

The three division commanders who directly choked their horses to stop advancing looked at the subordinates who rushed over and were knocked down, and then rushed over and were knocked down again. Tired of corpses and horse corpses, it seemed that the originally spacious plain passage had been filled.

The originally excited face gradually turned into a look of horror, and some voices trembled: "Impossible!" How is this possible! How could the Red Army be armed with so many machine guns! This is not a war, this is a massacre! ”

The cavalry of the Ma Jiajun were killed in batches on the forward positions. The Red Army on the battlefield became more and more excited. The reason was simple, they found that there were no cavalry, able to rush to their positions.

Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, the other side will definitely not be able to break through the officers and men of the reconnaissance regiment who have joined the forward position to defend the guns. Under the sweep of submachine guns, these cavalry of the Ma Jiajun who were eager to rush to the positions of the Red Army would be beaten into a sieve.

Only He Zhengdao, who was standing at the rear headquarters, said with a cold look in his eyes: "The cavalry is indeed very powerful, but in the face of the infantry with light and heavy machine guns and solid trenches, it is also the target of slaughter. This battle was doomed from the moment they launched the group charge! ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's calm narration, Wang Tianlin also felt that the corners of his mouth were furrowed: "Incredible! It's incredible! When used together, light and heavy machine guns can play such a miraculous effect. It's incredible! ”

looked at the cavalry of the Ma family's army, which had been slowly defeated. He Zhengdao continued to say calmly: "Order the artillery troops, open fire!" After the artillery fire was extended, the cavalry attacked! Chase them for ten miles and retreat! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

When the order was conveyed to the artillerymen watching the battle, Zhu Definition said excitedly like a child: "It's finally our turn!" Didn't say it. Fry it! Shoot out all the shells around you as fast as you can! ”

Hundreds of mortars, the formation of a rain of shells, directly blew up the cavalry in the rear, who seemed to be a little overwhelmed. The three cavalry division commanders who were also dumbfounded woke up, knowing that they were careless this time.

Before coming, according to the information they received, the Red Army was a group of brave but poorly armed troops. But now I can see the tired dead bodies in front of me, and the overwhelming shells. They know they've been fooled!

Thinking of this, the three division commanders gritted their teeth and said, "Withdraw!" Remove! Evacuate! We have fallen for the Red Army! ”

In fact, they don't need to say withdraw at all. This wave of hail-like cannonballs has already caused the cavalry of the Ma family's army, which was also frightened and stupid, to fall into a rout. Everyone twisted their horses' heads, hoping to escape as fast as they could.

In this case, He Zhengdao continued: "Order the artillery unit and start the artillery fire extension. Troops in forward positions. Sortie! Remember, try to capture the surviving cavalry of the Ma Family. Gather away the ownerless horses. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

As the trumpeters in the forward positions sounded the trumpet, the Red Army soldiers who were boiling with blood jumped out of the trenches and rushed forward. Stepping on the tired corpses of horses and people, he went around to capture the surviving cavalry.

Of course. Those war horses that were still alive were also the objects of capture by the Red Army. At this time, the five concentrated cavalry battalions also divided and surrounded the fleeing cavalry of the Ma Family's army.

Although there were not many of them, the Red Army cavalry that appeared could be seen. A lot of cavalry who had already been demoralized by the Red Army. They did not dare to confront these Red Army cavalry at all, and many chose to stop and raise their hands in surrender.

As for the three cavalry division commanders who stayed behind before, most of them pursued them with light machine guns in the face of the sudden attack of the Red Army cavalry. He was even more desperate to whip the war horse under him, hoping to escape from this nightmare place as soon as possible.

When He Zhengdao and Wang Tianlin came to the front line full of corpses, they really felt that this was the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The Red Army soldiers, who had been excited before, couldn't help but vomit at the moment.

Even some old Red Army soldiers also felt a little disgusted in their hearts. The reason is that there are too many corpses that died in the forward positions. The human corpses and horse corpses are intertwined, and the scene is even more bloody.

Seeing this scene, He Zhengdao felt a little uncomfortable, but still said: "Chief of Staff, let the troops start cleaning up the battlefield." Choose a place for the corpse and bury it in place! Horse corpse, let the defenders of Longxi and Tongwei send the people to clean up! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

When He Zhengdao came to the prisoner concentration camp, he saw that many of these prisoners did not have military uniforms, but more of them were prisoners with ordinary people's clothing. All of them looked dull and depressed, and they could hardly see the hard-hearted captives.

He found Zhang Cheng, who was counting the prisoners, and said, "Zhang Cheng, for the injured prisoners, pick them out." Later, they will be sent back to Longxi City, and the rest of the prisoners who are in good health will be handed over to the political commissar to be responsible for management.

In addition to weapons and ammunition, the rest of the war horses, all the good ones are gathered together and managed centrally. When the time comes, you can find some people from among the captives to help take care of the war horses. We have also seized all their baggage.

I believe that after this battle, the Ma Jiajun should not dare to pursue us easily. Before they could react, we had to hurry up and retreat. When sending the wounded prisoners back to the city, by the way, bring back the main regiments of our cities.

The rest of the troops on the main roads were the last to retreat as the rearguard of the column. The main forces of the divisions of the column retreated one after another according to the pre-battle arrangement. Let the soldiers all hold on, clean up the battlefield early, and leave here early. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Looking at He Zhengdao, who seemed to be a little uninterested, Zhang Cheng seemed to be used to it. Every time the column won a great victory, the commander did not seem to be as happy as the other commanders, but seemed a little lost.

In fact, he knew there that He Zhengdao was indeed very happy before. I feel that I have finally avenged the Red Army who were killed by the Ma Jiajun in Qinghai in history. But when you think about it, this is also a force in the future war of resistance.

If these killed green horse cavalry can be put into the anti-Japanese battlefield in the future, they can also make the little devils pay a lot of price! At least He Zhengdao knew that after the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japan, Ma Jiajun did participate in the War of Resistance against Japan.

These Ma Jiajun, who can be called the strongest cavalry in China, also made the little devil suffer a lot. But now, because of the different positions of the two armies, He Zhengdao had to make such a massacre-like move.

Because he knew that if he didn't inflict heavy damage on this green horse cavalry heading south, then the headquarters office in Tianshui would be in danger. In the same way, let these cavalry rush to their positions, and then it will be his men who will die.

With the return of the pursuing cavalry, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Ma family army were killed and thousands of cavalry were captured. In the end, there were less than 10,000 Ma Jiajun who escaped from Longxi, and they were disabled by the independent column in the first battle.

Mao Taizu, who heard the news, also looked extremely shocked and said: "How is this possible? To achieve such a big victory, the casualties of the independent column, less than a hundred? This is a telegram from an independent column? ”

'Yes, old Mao! Actually, I don't believe it either, but it's an ironclad fact. According to what we know, the people in Longxi and Tongwei are afraid that every family will be able to eat horse meat during this time.

I found it hard to believe, but it's all true. The battle of the independent column was only afraid that Ma Bufang in Qinghai would really know how serious the consequences of being an enemy of the Red Army were. These three cavalry divisions are also the elite of the Ma family's army! ’

Since the Red Army chose to establish a base in the northwest, it was inevitable to deal with Ma Jiajun. Now that the powerful Qinghai Ma Jia Army has been solved, the remaining Ningxia Ma Jia Army has also started a fierce battle with the Red Third Army.

It's just that, compared with the hard fighting of the Red Third Army, this victory of the independent column seems incredible to many people. But after reading the report provided by the independent column, many corps commanders also felt that this was a fluke and a strength.

The reason for the fluke is naturally the carelessness of the three Ma Jiajun, who actually tried to break through the blocking position of the independent column in a battle, giving the independent column the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them.

Speaking of strength, that is, the independent column is the strongest unit in the Central Red Army. The number of machine guns they have, even the elite units of the Central Army today, may not be comparable.

Without so many machine guns, it would have been equally impossible for the independent column to achieve such a big victory. But no matter what, the battle that was originally considered dangerous by many people was still won so easily by the independent column.

In addition to envy, many Red Army commanders and fighters also felt it. In the future, after they enter northern Shaanxi, they may also have more ideas. After all, their strength now is stronger than when they came out of the southern Jiangsu region.

The total strength of an independent column alone now reaches nearly 60,000. Even, with this great victory, the independent column has applied to the headquarters for an additional cavalry brigade.

And such a big victory made Ma Bufang, who got the news, vomit blood directly, but he couldn't wait to fly to Dingxi and skin the three division commanders alive. These are the three most elite cavalry divisions under his command!

Chairman Chiang, who was also telegraphed and was silent in surprise, finally let out a long sigh: "Six years of layout, once lost!" Why was the Red Army so tenacious? Independent columns, this damned unit again! ”

Chairman Jiang, who was talking, remembered his experience in Guiyang and smashed a beloved teapot very angrily. Soon after, Dai Li, the secret service of the Fuxing Society, soon received an order signed by Lao Jiang himself.

Investigate all the news about Ho Ching Do and wait for an opportunity to resolve it. In Lao Jiang's view, this He Zhengdao, who is becoming more and more famous, let him continue to grow, and he will inevitably become a big trouble for the party and the country in the future! (To be continued.) )
