Chapter 073: Layout to Destroy the Three Horses
In the silent night, the first division of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army quietly entered Dingbian County, because of the help of night vision devices, they did not use torches at all in the night, and they were also cautious when marching, until after dawn the next day, the residents in the city did not know that Dingbian County had changed owners.
Unlike the Liberation War 10 years later, the current Datong Party has not yet reached the point where countless people welcome it everywhere it goes. Due to the traditional local protection and xenophobia, the people still hold a cold eye to the Datong Party, staring at the bright eyes and always paying attention to every move of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
The next morning, when the residents woke up from the warm bed, they found that Dingbian County had another owner. In this era of warlord warfare and constant turf delivery, the people have long been accustomed to this state. Don't look at the handsome bull B, maybe someone will kill him the next moment.
Accustomed to the changes of the officials, the people have long been surprised, and the only prayer is that the new officials will not pay them all kinds of taxes, but that is just an expectation, and no official will give up the opportunity to collect money.
Seeing the soldiers patrolling the streets in colorful uniforms, the people will unconsciously choose to take a detour when they go out, and no one knows what kind of retaliation they will encounter after colliding with them.
Shortly after the early morning, after the entire county town of Dingbian had fully recovered, Cheng Zhigeng quickly sent all the political workers out to maintain law and order in the city, and on the other hand, he also had to carry out large-scale propaganda work. After gaining a foothold, Dingbian County was included in the Northwest Soviet Region, and the masses here had to be won over.
When the political workers were maintaining stability, Cheng Zhigeng was also actively preparing for the battle, placing the 101st and 102nd regiments on both sides of the county seat, forming a fan-shaped defensive circle with the 103rd regiment in the city, and blocking the route of Majiajun's entry into the Soviet area.
At the same time, he also dispatched part of his troops to send the captured Dingbian County militia back to the rear, but Mu Cheng of the logistics department has always been asking for insufficient manpower, just to replenish some manpower for him.
After arranging these, he sprinkled the wolf tooth commando again, the special forces are not only used for decapitation, intelligence reconnaissance is also one of their duties.
After receiving the order, Zhong Linrui led the commandos to drive the Dongfeng Mengshi off-road vehicle assigned to them out of Dingbian County, which made the brother troops who were still walking on two legs envious.
Out of Dingbian County, along the northwest direction is Yanchi County, the place where Ma Jiajun must pass after starting from Yinchuan.
According to the intelligence, the Central Army and the Ma Jiajun both set off together today, and there were still a few days away from Yanchi County at this time, so Zhong Linrui's target was not the Ma Jiajun, but the militia and other troops in Yanchi County.
Dingbian County was seized, and the news never leaked out, so Cheng Zhigeng decided to plan the plan, disguised himself as the Dingbian County militia group, put Ma Jiajun into his encirclement, and came to close the door and beat the dogs.
In order to strictly prevent the leakage of news, from the moment of occupying the county seat of Dingbian, the entire Dingbian County entered the mode of military management, and the county seat was under the responsibility of Cheng Zhigeng's first division, and the rest of the area was handed over to the second and third divisions, and the fourth and fifth divisions drove to the Qingyang area in the southwest direction to prepare to contain the central army.
Although the strategy formulated by the Party Central Committee was mainly to eliminate the Central Army, considering that the Central Army had sent three armies this time, it would be difficult to eat it in one go, so it was ready to aim the first sword at the Ma Jiajun.
Relatively speaking, the strength of the Ma Jiajun is far weaker than that of the Central Army, with only three divisions, and its weapons and equipment are also inferior to the Central Army. However, Ma Jiajun has another advantage is that they are all cavalry, they come and go without a trace, and they are very mobile, if they are not disintegrated at the first time, it is really tiresome to face such a group of flies on the battlefield.
In fact, in comparison, the Ma Jiajun, which came and went like the wind, was more harmful to the workers' and peasants' Red Army than the Central Army, so the Party Central Committee had to focus on the Ma Jiajun from the beginning.
In addition to this reason, it is also because the territory of the Northwest Three Horses is the only way to connect with the Northern Soviet Russia.
Although the Party Central Committee was much more distant from the Soviet Russia issue because it knew the historical trend, it did not take the initiative to contact the Combor~Industry after the re-establishment of the radio station, which made some pro-Soviet comrades very dissatisfied. However, the Datong Party is still nominally a branch of the Communist International~the International, and it is temporarily impossible to completely dissociate itself from the relationship, and the necessary connection is still unavoidable, but the question of degree has been debated endlessly, and one of the keys is Li Keji.
I have to say that the butterfly effect brought by Li Keji is too huge, so huge that people can't imagine it, every thing he brings will have a very significant impact, as long as it is slightly exposed, the Datong Party will become the target of public criticism.
It can be said that success is also Li self-restraint, and defeat is also Li self-restraint.
In order to keep secrets, after the Battle of Wuqi Town, a rectification was carried out within the Datong Party, and all those who were recorded by Yang Yinong and pro-Soviet became marginal figures, and most of them concentrated in military and political universities, or in unimportant positions.
After the rectification, ideological unification was carried out, and in the end it was decided to maintain normal relations with the Soviet Union and exchange part of the technical equipment for Soviet and Russian technical personnel, but the last point was put forward by Li Keji, after all, it is impossible to accumulate sufficient technical personnel in a short period of time by relying only on self-study.
Historically, the Great Purge of Soviet Russia was much more serious than the domestic purge, and aside from political ideology, it was indeed a waste of a lot of valuable technical talents, and Li Keji's whimsical purpose was to bring these technical talents to China, and he remembered that there was this setting in a certain novel.
Although he did not know whether he would succeed, Li Keji still told the Party Central Committee his idea and left it to the Party Central Committee to make the final decision.
Although they had long been accustomed to the leaping nature of Li Keji's thinking, the Party Central Committee was so surprised when it saw this suggestion that they couldn't believe that Li Keji would have such a bold idea.
After seeing most of the things brought by Li Keji, the Party Central Committee has deeply felt the importance of science and technology, and in order to develop science and technology, professional and technical personnel are indispensable, and these have always been the shortcomings of the workers' and peasants' Red Army.
Although the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army attached great importance to personnel training, most of them were mainly military and political personnel, and there was little progress in technical personnel. In the past, there was no high-end technical equipment, and the lack of technical personnel did not feel it, but now after changing clothes, the Party Central Committee realized its negligence.
Looking at the state of equipment and other people, the Party Central Committee could not help but be very anxious, and from the very beginning called on the whole army and the whole Party to work hard to study on their own, but the gap was still very huge.
Under such circumstances, the Party Central Committee was naturally very happy to be able to receive the assistance of a group of technical personnel, but Li Keji's suggestion was too sensitive, and even if the Party Central Committee allowed it, the Soviet and Russian sides would not necessarily release them.
However, after reading Li Keji's proposal in detail, Chairman Lee Seig-seok felt that it was not impossible, and the only question was how much interest the Datong Party needed to give, and as long as the interests were sufficient, I believe that Stalin would dare to do any kind of deal, and the predicament faced by Soviet Russia was not at all weaker than that of the Datong Party.
Moreover, the benefits that the Datong Party needs to pay are actually not much, everything is delivered by Li Keji on his behalf, but the butterfly effect will be very huge, and no one dares to assume that historical responsibility.
With these mental preparations, I was much more cautious in the discussion, and finally decided to agree with Li Keji's suggestion, the reason is that the Datong Party does need a large number of technical personnel to supplement now, as for the butterfly effect, from the day Li Keji arrived, history has entered another fork in the road.
Although the decision was made, it was not just a radio station to contact the Soviet and Russian sides, and some things were more convenient and safer to meet in person. However, before that, the Datong Party needed to open up the road to Soviet Russia, which is now the territory of the Northwest Sanma.
Originally, the Party Central Committee was preparing to march west after the beginning of spring, and the other party took the initiative to come to the door, which saved the Party Central Committee from looking for excuses.
After occupying Dingbian County, in order to eliminate the Ma Jiajun, a pocket formation composed of the first, second, and third divisions was built unknownly.
Among them, the first division was stationed in Dingbian County to meet the enemy head-on, and the second and third divisions were divided into two wings and obliquely inserted behind the Ma Jiajun, and when the Ma Jiajun arrived, this force that had been entrenched in the northwest for decades was completely uprooted.
On this day, Zhong Linrui took people out to reconnoiter as usual, and when he wandered to the vicinity of Yanchi County, he finally found the traces of Ma Jiajun, and he could see the bright flag of the 35th Division at the beginning.
Under the banner of the 35th Division, the leader is Ma Hongbin, one of the three horses in the northwest, he directly lost a cavalry regiment in the last battle of Wuqi Town, although the chairman of the Standing Committee later supplemented him back, but his heart is still faintly unhappy, and the recruits are always inferior to the veterans.
After recuperating for several months, replenishing new recruits, surviving the cold winter, the encirclement and suppression war finally began, Ma Hongbin, who had long held his breath, directly grabbed the position of the vanguard.
With the mentality of revenge and merit, Ma Hongbin quickly stepped up as soon as he set off, leaving the 100th Division and the 5th Division behind.
Although since the Battle of Wuqi Town, most people have blown the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army into the sky, Ma Hongbin does not believe that they are all heavenly soldiers and generals, and if they are really so terrifying, they will not be driven to the northwest from western Jiangxi.
After passing through Yanchi County, the next area is Dingbian County, Ma Hongbin had already contacted Yuan Longhai of the Dingbian County People's League, and learned that the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was still engaged in construction, and they had not found anything unusual until now.
