Frightened all the way, the three horses have long lost the will to fight, and now they are cornered, losing the last shred of hope, and have no choice but to sit and wait.

The heart of the three horse army has been broken, the last battle did not last long, the Red Army attacked from two sides, and the Ma Jiajun saw that there was no way to escape, and most of them raised their hands and surrendered on the spot.

After tossing for a few days, they finally wiped out the Ma Jiajun on the West Road, and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was happy, but they also felt that the battle was not happy enough, and the Ma Jiajun was almost vulnerable.

When collecting the prisoners of war, Cheng Zhigeng, Nie Rongzheng, and Liu Zhidan also saw the captured three horses, only to see that the three of them were discouraged, looking lost and depressed, Cheng Zhigeng and others did not put on a victorious posture, but greeted a few words very normally, and then ordered someone to send the three horses to the rear, and how to deal with them had to be decided by the Party Central Committee.

After the annihilation of the Three Horses, according to the original plan, the First and Third Divisions had to transfer their forces south to cooperate with the Fourth and Fifth Divisions to attack the Central Army, while the Second Division continued to advance westward, sweeping away Ma Hongkui's army, the last force of the Ma Jiajun, and reaching the northwest in one fell swoop.

In order to rush to the southern battlefield, the matter of cleaning up the battlefield was handed over to Nie Rongzheng's second division, and Cheng Zhigeng and Liu Zhidan led the first and third divisions to turn south on the same day, day and night, and finally arrived at the southern battlefield seven days later.

At this time, on the southern battlefield, Mao Bingwen's 37th Army and Wang Jun's Third Army marched in two ways, the 37th Army took Qingyang-Qingcheng-Huachi, and attacked the Wuqi area from south to north, and the Third Army took Qingyang-Qingcheng-Huanxian to prepare a detour to attack from the Tiebian City west of Wuqi Town, forming a flanking attack with the 37th Army, and Hu Zongnan's First Army walked behind the two armies to press the formation.

Faced with such a situation, the General Headquarters of the Red Army immediately ordered the Fourth Division to go south to Huachi to intercept the 37th Army, while the Fifth Division went west out of Tiebian City and occupied Huanxian first.

Because the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army had been prepared before the departure of the Central Army, both divisions occupied Huachi County and Huanxian County before the Central Army, completely blocking the advance route of the 37th Army and the Third Army.

Although the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was far inferior in number to the Central Army, its weaponry, military quality, and military morale were far higher than those of the Central Army.

Not only is there more than enough to fight in a blocking war, but even a counteroffensive can easily defeat the 37th Army and the Third Army, but the strategy of the Party Central Committee is not only to repel the Central Army, but to destroy its living forces as much as possible.

Unlike most armies, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army's operational policy was mostly based on the annihilation of the enemy's living forces, rather than fighting for a certain piece of territory, and as long as the territory was occupied, it was considered a victory.

Ideologically, what the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army has been seeking for a long time is "to save the land and lose the people, and the people and the land are lost; If you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land", so you don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but mainly to destroy the enemy.

Since the Red Army was weak and could not confront the enemy head-on, it could only put the enemy into the base area to fight. Now the Red Army is strong and can break the enemy head-on, but it cannot be broken just for the sake of breaking it, and only by destroying the enemy's living forces can the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army free up more hands for the construction of base areas.

In the face of the 37th Army and the 3rd Army, although the 4th and 5th Divisions could be broken independently, it was not so easy to annihilate them all, not to mention that there was Chang Kaishen's henchman Hu Zongnan behind them.

The military equipment was much stronger than that of the Central Army, and the blocking battles of the Third and Fourth Divisions were fought very easily, and they did not want to be like in the past, and the blocking battles often caused heavy casualties.

From western Jiangxi to the northwest, Mao Bingwen and Wang Jun participated in most of the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, and it can be said that they were already very familiar with the Red Army. I thought that in this encirclement and suppression, the Red Army would open the gate and wait for them to enter, as in the past, and then divide the encirclement and break it one by one. Unexpectedly, this time the Red Army seemed to have changed people, and directly set up defensive positions on their way to intercept them.

Although they had long received information that the Red Army had received Soviet aid and that its combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the past, the 37th Army and the Third Army still had strong self-confidence in this kind of position-to-position offensive and defensive warfare.

As early as the fifth anti-bandit operation, they had seen the Red Army's positional warfare skills, and lost the guerrilla warfare that they were proud of, and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was vulnerable to a blow, and was driven out of the western Jiangxi region by the Central Army, and then ran all the way to several provinces and tens of thousands of miles, like a lost dog.

I originally thought that the Red Army would be able to annihilate the Red Army in the northwest region at the end of last year, but I didn't expect that the Red Army would turn against the Red Army and lose a full six elite cavalry regiments, which was the only time since the civil war between the two countries that so many troops were eliminated in a systematic manner.

With the experience of the past, when facing the defensive positions of the Red Army, they did not have the heart of contempt, and immediately carried out a tentative attack, and soon repelled the Red Army, and obtained a variety of information, the only common point is that the Red Army's firepower has obviously risen by more than one step, and there are all kinds of light and heavy machine guns and cannons.

After receiving this information, Mao Bingwen and Wang Jun were even more sure of the information given to them by the chairman of the committee, and the Red Army really received a lot of assistance, otherwise it would not have suddenly become so rich, and the number of light and heavy machine guns alone was very staggering.

In terms of military equipment, their own side is obviously below, and few people are generally willing to participate in this kind of battle, but fortunately, the Red Army is insufficient, relying only on the original little strength, it is not enough to fight against the Central Army, and the northwest region has always been vast and sparsely populated, even if the Red Army is exhausted, it cannot replenish many troops.

With this mental preparation, Mao Bingwen and the others received an order this time to drag the Red Army to death in the northwest region even if they ran out of troops.

Since it was a confrontation, the Central Army was not so desperate when attacking, and every attack was stopped in moderation, forming a tug-of-war in the areas of Huachi County and Huanxian County, and there was a stalemate for a while, and only when they received the urging of the Standing Committee Chairman, they would fight hard once.

When the Central Army was fighting with the Fourth and Fifth Divisions of the Red Army, the Jin Sui Army in the east had been watching, and the Xu Donghai Department of the Red Army was like neighbors across the Yellow River to "greet" each other every day.

After Wang Yizhe's department of the Northeast Army, which was originally going to cooperate with the attack of the Central Army, left Xianyang, he stopped when he walked to the Tongchuan area, in addition to being blocked by the Luo Guang military department in front of him, Wang Yizhe also met his comrade and friend Bai Fengxiang.

Bai Fengxiang has been guarded and educated since he was captured in the Battle of Wuqi Town, and although he does not need half-day labor education and half-day ideological education like ordinary officers and soldiers in Northeast China, he is subject to 24-hour ideological education.

It doesn't matter if you listen or not, every day's lessons must be completed, and at first it tortured Bai Fengxiang and the other two enough, Ma Peiqing even shouted to give him a good time, but the Datong Party never killed them.

Not only did they not kill them, but they were also entertained with good food and drink, but they had to participate in study every day, and they were not free.

As time went by, the three of them gradually got used to it, but they still lacked interest in learning, especially in political and ideological education, and showed a kind of disdain.

Disdain is disdainful, the class that should be taken has not fallen at all, and some things are gradually being learned subtly, but they themselves do not know it yet.

In order to deal with the Northeast Army in the south, the Party Central Committee mobilized Bai Fengxiang and did not let him participate in the battle, but only let him play his identity to help dissuade Wang Yizhe's 67th Army from going north.

After living with the Red Army for several months, Bai Fengxiang knew very well that the current combat strength of the Red Army, not to mention the domestic army, even the Japanese Kwantung Army he had seen in the Northeast was not an opponent, so after the Datong Party invited him to participate in the dissuasion of the Northeast Army, he did not hesitate for long.

Although the Northeast Army is also divided into various factions, and everyone has wandered together in the Guannai for so many years, it can be regarded as a difficult brother, Bai Fengxiang really doesn't want to see his Northeast brothers fall under the guns of the Red Army.

In addition, the desire to go home is also one of the reasons why Bai Fengxiang agreed to come out to help.

As early as the end of the Battle of Wuqi Town, the slogan of the Red Army to surrender the Northeast was to fight back to the Northeast, but the Red Army has been trapped in a small remote place in the northwest, and it is not so easy to fight back to the Northeast.

Seeing that the Red Army had not shown signs of going north to resist Japan for a long time, there were a lot of grievances among the officers and soldiers of the former Northeast Army, and Bai Fengxiang had heard that some of the Northeast Army had made trouble, and was finally suppressed by bullets.

Although the Central Army launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Red Army, it was actually an opportunity for the Red Army to take advantage of the opportunity to expand its territory, and when the Datong Party found Bai Fengxiang, they told him very bluntly that after the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the base area of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was bound to expand to the entire northwest region.

If the People's Party is weak and the Datong Party is strong, it will be possible to resist Japan through peace talks, and even if the Standing Chairman is unwilling to resist Japan, the Datong Party will be able to force it to resist Japan with the momentum of a strong army.

Gathering a lot of news, in short, after the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the possibility of resisting Japan will be greatly increased. Prior to this, the Datong Party did not want too much friction with the Northeast Army, which also hoped to resist Japan, so as not to cause the relatives to bitter and the enemies happy.

The Datong Party did not want to damage the main force of the future anti-Japanese resistance, and Bai Fengxiang did not want his brothers to fall under the guns of the Red Army, and after reaching a common consciousness, the Datong Party released Bai Fengxiang and sent him to Wang Yizhe's 67th Army.

When he saw Bai Fengxiang, Wang Yizhe was very surprised, when he heard that the troops participating in the Battle of Wuqizhen were all wiped out, he thought that Bai Fengxiang had died in battle, and the Red Army closed the news after the war very tightly, so that they needed to guess in many situations.

Seeing that Bai Fengxiang was safe and sound, Wang Yizhe was very happy in his heart, but at the same time he was a little worried, because Bai Fengxiang was sent back by the Red Army, and he was always accompanied by two fierce soldiers in colorful military uniforms.

He really didn't know what Bai Fengxiang's identity was now, and if he had already taken refuge in the Datong Party, should he arrest him and ask the Standing Chairman for credit.
