Chapter 182: Going to Qinghai for Military Training (6)
Yes, the large force of the 2nd Armored Division has arrived, and the 7th Armored Regiment is the leader, and Du Jingtao is the company commander under the 7th Armored Regiment.
Once the number of things reaches a certain level, it will cause a qualitative change, and the same scene of a dozen tanks and hundreds of tanks charging is certainly different, and the scene of covering the sky alone is enough to scare the faint of heart.
Looking at the momentum of more than 300 tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles rolling up the yellow sand for several miles, the soldiers and officers of the Ma Jiajun under Ma Lu were stunned one by one.
"Master, let's withdraw quickly." The commander of the artillery battalion on the side said tremblingly.
"Is this the power of armored forces?" Marlu muttered to himself on his horse. Ma Lu is a capable person, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, he also belongs to the role of both civil and military in the Ma Family Army, Ma Bufang also attaches great importance to him, and handed over the main cavalry division under his command to him. Ma Lu also lived up to Ma Bufang's high expectations and trained the Second Cavalry Division into a well-trained and fierce and cunning army.
However, people who are usually capable are usually conceited, and although Maru is worried about a conflict with the Chahar political axe, this does not prevent him from having the idea of breaking his wrists with the Chahar forces. Having received a higher education in China, he looked down on a reckless man like Ma Biao who could only kill people and set fires, and what he wanted to do now was to prove his strength by defeating a first-class strong army like the 37th Group Army, which is now recognized at home and abroad.
So, he led the 2nd Cavalry Division, which he had painstakingly trained for many years, to set up an ambush in the city of Dole County, where the enemy must pass, but the result of the battle was a great disappointment for him. Ma Zhanying used a regiment of more than 3,000 troops to besiege more than a dozen chariots, but the result was that the entire army was annihilated, and the casualties of the other side were only a few armored vehicles.
Just when Ma Lu was unwilling to hesitate, the enemy's large army appeared, and the mighty power made Ma Lu understand that when the strength reaches a certain level, as long as people suppress the army in a dignified manner, and you don't have that strength, any conspiracy and trickery will become a small trick and a paper tiger that can be broken at the first poke, which seems so ridiculous.
After being stunned for a long time, an ethereal voice seemed to come from the sky: "Herald, order all the troops to retreat westward!" ”
Soon after the troops of the 2nd Armored Division appeared, Ma Lu's 2nd Cavalry Division was like a frightened rabbit, spreading its feet and running back desperately.
Ma Lu led the 6th and 7th Cavalry Regiments and the rest of the army of more than 8,000 people to the west, that is, their old nest Xining, desperately ran towards the west, which was the only place they subconsciously was safe. There was also the 100th Cavalry Division under the command of Ma Bufang himself, as well as strong fortifications, and they would be safe when they got there.
The tide of armored troops bypassed Du Jingtao's small company and chased in the direction of the rout of the Ma family's army, and there was no one to talk to, so angry that Du Jingtao dropped his hat and scolded these guys for having no conscience. It wasn't until a while later that the logistics support battalion arrived late and used a crane to help get out the two unlucky tanks that had fallen into the trap. After a while, the medical car also arrived, so after repairing the car, saving people, and settling the wounded and injured vehicles, Du Jingtao also hurriedly chased after the large army with the remaining vehicles.
Today, the common people in the county town of Dole discovered a strange thing, and the more than 8,000 Ma bandits who were arrogant and murderous in ordinary times were like lost dogs, desperately beating horses and galloping past. Behind them, under a cloud of dust that covered the sky, countless steel monsters that the people had never seen before passed around the city from the county seat of Dule County, and chased in the direction of the defeat and retreat of the Ma family bandit army.
"Quick, quick!"
You must run back, escape back to Xining! This is the common aspiration of all the Second Cavalry Division of the Ma Jiajun.
"Quick, speed up! Be sure to catch up with them! Wu Jilong in the command car kept urging the troops to speed up. In terrain like the Gobi Desert, the fastest speed of tanks is about 40 kilometers, and cavalry can reach 50 to 60 kilometers.
It stands to reason that the 2nd Panzer Division should have been thrown far away by Marlu's cavalry, but this is not the case, the tanks can run at an average speed of forty for a day, but the horses cannot. After running continuously for nearly two hours, Ma Jiajun's horses foamed at the foam and gradually slowed down, and gradually Ma Lu found that the chariot that had been chasing after him was getting closer and closer to him.
"Hurry up and order your troops to disperse and break through! Don't concentrate anymore. Ma Lu sighed and ordered to the commanders of the sixth and seventh regiments beside him.
"Master, don't do it, if that's the case, we'll be lambs to the slaughter!" The two regiments were taken aback when they heard such an order and hurriedly dissuaded them.
Indeed, cavalry is only powerful when it is concentrated, and this is true in the age of cold weapons, and the same is true in the age of hot weapons. Otherwise, who has ever seen several cavalry or a dozen cavalry attack together, no matter what time it is, the cavalry will only attack after concentrating hundreds or thousands of units.
Ma Lu gave this order, undoubtedly to the Second Cavalry Division to give up the opportunity to fight back.
"No, so many of our cavalry are concentrated together, the target is too big, and their chariots can bombard a group of us with just one shot." Although Ma Lu had just dealt with the armored forces once, he immediately realized that escaping for his life under the armored group, it should be said that it is the true meaning of retreat, and he must not run away in groups.
"Yes!" Hearing that their boss had made up his mind, the two helpless regiment commanders, although they were reluctant, could only run back to their respective troops and give the order to disperse and break through.
"Whoosh!" A sharp and sharp whistling sound swept through Ma Lu's ears, and before the sound could completely disappear, a wave of explosive air was seen in front of him. A dozen or so cavalrymen in the middle of the explosion point were reduced to fog-like objects before they could even make a shout.
Immediately afterward, more and more shells fell on the cavalry group, and several empty seats suddenly appeared in the originally densely packed cavalry ranks.
"Spread out, spread out!" Seeing that the cavalry he had painstakingly trained was constantly falling to the ground around him, Ma Lu's heart seemed to be dripping blood, and his eyes were split, and he shouted and scolded the cavalry around him,
"Yes! After Lao Tzu's ambush, you still want to disperse and escape? I want to be beautiful! At this time, I don't know when Du Jingtao, who had returned to the team, ran to the front of the Seventh Armored Regiment, and the few cannons just now were fired by his forward company.
Thinking of the armored car that was destroyed in the morning and the dozen or so brothers in the car, Du Jingtao couldn't help but feel angry.
"In the first, second, and third platoons, the loader is using a high-level machine gun on the roof of the car, and the gun commander is preparing a high-explosive shell to kill these turtle sons for me."
"Dangdangdang" With Du Jingtao's cold order, the 12.7 caliber M2 heavy machine guns of their tanks rushing to the front rang out, and the heavy sound was like the devil from hell blowing the horn in his hand.
The ultra-long range of 1,800 meters of the M2 heavy machine gun made the tanks rushing in front calmly harvest the lives of the Ma bandits.
Seeing his companions around him constantly being hit by large-caliber bullets and turning into fragmented corpses, the cavalrymen who claimed to be brave in Pingli were frightened, and they screamed loudly and spontaneously scattered and fled in all directions.
"Want to run? It's not that easy! At this time, Wu Jilong, who had already rushed to the front of the team, calmly dispatched the troops, "The eighth regiment is to the left, the ninth regiment is to the right, and they must not be let go." ”
Under Wu Jilong's order, the 2nd Panzer Division began to wrap up the flanks with that unskilled movement, well, this tactic was called a pincer offensive in Germany.
"Master, these Han people have surrounded us." At this time, a regiment commander ran to Ma Lu's side and shouted miserably, with a look of despair in his eyes.
"Each car is spaced thirty meters apart and they are all fenced off. Don't let them run away! The person who set up an ambush and killed Lao Tzu, how could it be so easy for you to slip away! Wu Jilong's dull voice came from the radio.
Seeing that Wu Jilong, who originally thought that his temper would be better after becoming the division commander, was still the same old look, Li Qing, the chief of staff sitting in a 63-style command car, smiled slightly, turned on the radio station to coordinate the logistics and support detachments behind, and ordered them to hurry up and catch up.
In the process of encircling and breaking through the encirclement, the officers and men of the Second Armored Division also underwent their first actual combat drill since they became soldiers, and watched a famous cavalryman die under his guns and guns, and the officers and men gradually advanced to the road of becoming a qualified armored soldier.
As the encirclement tightened more and more, the Ma family army became more and more crazy, and some people kept turning around and rushing towards the chariots behind or next to them, they used sabers to chop, grenades to bomb, guns to hit, and some even men and horses hit tanks, but unfortunately except for a puddle of flesh on the ground, it had no effect at all.
More than two hours later, except for a very small number of people, the Second Cavalry Division of the Temporary Cavalry that crisscrossed Qinghai disappeared into the vast stall next door, and more than 10,000 cavalrymen, including their division commander, Major General Ma Lu, also became a wisp of grievance on the stall next door.
When the battle ended and the battlefield was cleaned, the soldiers of the 2nd Armored Division found Ma Lu's body with several bullets and angry eyes, although they didn't know Ma Lu, but the rank of major general on his shoulder clearly told them that the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Ma Family Army that had been crisscrossing the northwest for many years was finished.
"Jilong, congratulations! Ma Bufang's Second Cavalry Division will be removed from today onwards. Li Qing smiled and punched Wu Jilong.
Wu Jilong shook his head: "What is this?" Tanks and cavalry were originally three fingers between snails, and nine out of ten things were secure, so what is there to congratulate. ”
After speaking, Wu Jilong narrowed his eyes, as if he recalled the situation that the large-caliber shells on the Siberian battlefield exploded not far from the tank, and the comrades-in-arms drove the tank through the artillery fire, as long as they were not careful or unlucky, they would be blown to pieces
