Ma Baolin hadn't gone far at this time, and turned back in a hurry, Huo Ran saw the fire on the city, and his hands and feet were cold, this posture, I'm afraid that the two machine guns are no longer guaranteed, how can the enemy's shells hit the city so accurately? Ma Baolin couldn't imagine that in his cognition, the old cannon hitting the city wall is still not powerful enough, if you fight on your back, only God knows where it can hit, and there is already a fire on the city in front of you, such an amazing hit rate is unimaginable for Ma Baolin. Don't say you have seen it in the northwest, or you have never heard of it. At this time, Jiang Li didn't know that mortars were a rare thing in the Ma family's army.

"Push the cannon closer before shooting, don't waste the shells, it's not easy to transport the cannon in this remote ghost place." The commander of the artillery battalion did not forget to nag when he commanded the soldiers to drive the mountain artillery forward, and this could not be blamed on him, because fighting a big battle in a place like Ningxia was enough to collapse the logistics troops. PULLING THESE MOUNTAIN GUNS OUTSIDE THE CITY OF PINGLUO HAS ALREADY WASTED A LOT OF EFFORT, AND THOSE MORE CUMBERSOME 75MM FIELD GUNS ARE EVEN MORE OF A BURDEN. This is still when Jiang Li has enough horses.

SEVERAL 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS WERE PULLED TO A FAIRLY CLOSE DISTANCE, FACING THE PINGLUO CITY GATE NOT FAR AWAY, AND THE MUZZLES OF THE GUNS WERE ALMOST IN A STATE OF FLAT FIRE. The reason why the battalion commander was so bold was naturally that the comrades who operated the mortars on the high ground had completely suppressed the defenders in Pingluo City, and so far, there was not much sound of counterattack in the city.

IT IS NO WONDER THAT MA BAOLIN, AN INFANTRY BRIGADE OF HIS HAS ONLY A FEW OLD-FASHIONED 75MM EXIT GUNS, AND THE SHELLS ARE LESS THAN 100 ROUNDS. Transporting it to the city is a very wasteful job. And no one can guarantee that the cannon will be accurate at the head of the city. Most of them are just a show, and Ma Baolin didn't waste that kind of strength.

"Hurry! Assembled, drop the drawbridge, it was necessary to destroy the enemy artillery. Ma Baolin was already angry at this time, even if his understanding of modern warfare was backward, he also realized that the enemy artillery on the high ground in the northwest would bomb it again, and the defenders in the city would collapse without the enemy army climbing to the top of the city.

The brigade in Ma Baolin's hands is only an infantry brigade. However, a cavalry battalion withdrawn from the ancient kick pass happened to rest in the city, and it came in handy at this time, allowing the cavalry to rush out of the city as fast as possible and destroy the enemy's artillery, which was the only hope.

"Long live Allah, kill all these Han people who invaded Pingluo!" Ma Yong is a young man in his early thirties, and his unusually strong figure of more than one meter eight makes him the commander of the cavalry battalion.

The drawbridge was lowered. The city gate slowly opened, at the urging of Ma Baolin. Ma Yong slowly accelerated with less than two hundred cavalry and rushed out of the city, the drawbridge was not very wide, but it could not stop these skilled northwest men. The horses' hooves rushed off the drawbridge. Ma Yong took the lead. More than 100 horsemen rushed out one after another.

"Commander, leave these cavalry to the lowly to settle down." Seeing the sharpness of the artillery of the provisional 1st Brigade, Yang Yaofeng couldn't sit still at this time, no wonder Jiang Wenhao was so arrogant, he couldn't imagine that the old foundation of the 45th Army could fight like this, how many people were there in these artillerymen, and they couldn't even lift their heads when they were suppressed. At this time, it was rare for the Ma family army in Pingluo City to use the cavalry of the housekeeper, and Yang Yaofeng felt that it was necessary to show that he could not let him, a bandit who was a halfway monk, be looked down upon by the people of the 45th Army.

"Brigade Commander Yang don't be impatient, if there is a chance for Brigade Commander Yang to fight later, Pingluo City will be handed over to the temporary first brigade." Jiang Li said lightly.

Yang Yaofeng had no choice but to nod, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget.

Several earth-shattering explosions sounded, it was a few mountain cannons that fired, the stones on the city wall scattered and flew in all directions, it turned out that there were nearly a hundred cavalry rushing out, and the cavalry who rushed to the vicinity of the city gate was suddenly killed and injured in the fire and smoke, and what was even more exaggerated was that a horse's head was blown into the air and fell heavily on the suspension bridge. After a few shots, there were no more people rushing out of the city.

"Kill, kill all these heretics!" MA YONG WAS ALSO TAKEN ABACK BY THIS SUDDEN EXPLOSION, THE 75MM MOUNTAIN CANNON WAS MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN THE MORTAR. Finally controlling the restless war horses under the seat, Ma Yong suppressed the fear in his heart, and led the other frightened hundreds of cavalry to rush towards several mountain cannons pressed not far from the city gate.

"I doubt that even if we withdraw and let them chop down these cannons for a few years, they will be able to destroy these cannons." The machine gunner pursed his lips a little boredly, and after months of bloodshed in Mukden, this imposing cavalry charge seemed to these veterans to be nothing more than a little louder, and of little use. If these cavalry scattered and charged, they might also pose a certain threat to the artillery positions. It's a pity that the defenders of Chengchen are drawbridges and moats, which have limited these cavalry to the maximum.

500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters. Yang Yaofeng was worried about those artillery, but he was not too nervous, more than a hundred cavalry could not set off any storms, at most it was just to increase the casualties of the artillery. But the development of things was always unexpected by Yang Yaofeng.

Da Da Da .........

With the sound of several light and heavy machine guns, those Ma Jiajun seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and they could not rush within 100 meters of the artillery anyway. The corners of Yang Yaofeng's mouth twitched, and while cold sweat broke out on his back, he was also glad that he had thrown himself into Jiang Li's men early, if he changed his position, I am afraid that it would not be Ma Jiajun who fell, but his Yang Monkey Boy. Under this kind of blow, no matter how good the riding skills are, no matter how good the marksmanship is, they are scum. Who can hit a cannon from a distance of thousands of meters? The equestrian and marksmanship that the Northwest athletes are proud of is simply a joke in the face of such blows.

Jiang Li saw Yang Yaofeng's expression in his eyes, and there was indeed a hint of shock in bringing him, the bandit leader who had just been recruited, with him. To say that Jiang Li has also collected nearly 50,000 horses, even if Yang Yaofeng is not recruited, he can form a considerable cavalry, but Yang Yaofeng's role as a land snake cannot be replaced. In addition, it also has the meaning of horse bones in Qianjin City, showing to the local forces in Ningxia, Qinghai, and Gansu that he can tolerate Yang Yaofeng, and naturally he can also tolerate others.

These local forces must be collected, but they must also shock these people from the momentum, so that they can be used for their own purposes in the future, so that they will not be uncontrollable but add chaos, and from the current point of view, the effect is still good.

"Pingluo City can't be defended, I'm afraid the Ma family army in the city is going to withdraw, and the task of pursuing it will be handed over to Brigade Commander Yang, in order to avoid casualties of the cavalry, just contain the enemy army." Jiang Li said to Yang Yaofeng.

"Yes, Throne!" There was a hint of respect in Yang Yaofeng's tone, Jiang Wenhao's brigade was only one of the brigades of the 45th Army, and even a regiment was not fully deployed before it defeated Pingluo, a seemingly solid county town. And there are three larger mixed brigades in the 45th Army, and the Ma Jiajun is not enough to fight together.

In fact, Yang Yaofeng of course overthought it, the firepower of the Ma Jiajun is indeed very different from the firepower of the team brought by Jiang Li, but the Ma Jiajun is known for its elite cavalry, and when it comes out of the city, only the drawbridge has completely restrained the hands and feet of the cavalry, coupled with the extreme backwardness of the tactics, in the face of Jiang Li's veterans who have been working hard with the Japanese army for several months, whether it is firepower or combat experience, both sides are not on the same level. Only the portion that was hung and beaten. (Historically, after Sun Dianying resisted Japan, he led troops to Ningxia in 1933, which was replaced by pig's feet, and the tactics of both sides were indeed very backward.) The reason why the battle was fierce was also because Sun Dianying's troops lacked sufficient firepower, and even more so artillery. Siege equipment such as ladders was also used. In fact, the hammer originally intended to write the battle a little more tragic, but to respect history to a certain extent. The main force of the Ma Jiajun lies in the strong mobility of the cavalry, familiar with geography, and indeed brave in combat, and in a place like the northwest, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the transportation is backward, the infantry movement is inconvenient, so it can give the red army a large number of casualties in history.
