The target plane, the northwest region of the Yanhuang Continent, the Meridian Ridge area on the border between Gansu and Shaanxi. Speaking of Ziwuling, it can be said to be the southwest barrier of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area of the Red Party, and its geographical location is very important. The government of the Red Party Border Region deliberately set up the Longdong Sub-district and the Guanzhong Sub-district here.

Among these two sub-districts, the Guanzhong sub-district is the most important. Because the Guanzhong sub-district can control the Xianyang Yulin Highway in the east (Yan'an is roughly located in the middle of the Xianyang Yulin connecting line), and the west can overlook the Xi'an Lanzhou Highway, from here, you can enter the city of Xi'an in two days. The local people's song and ballad: "Black cow and white belly, only Ningxian is left", which describes the situation of the Guanzhong sub-district like a dagger, embedded in the Weihe Hebei National Control Area.

Before Wang Fan appeared to change the course of history, the Red Party still sent Wang Hongkun's 385 Brigade to station under the condition of tight troops, and the Bald Party army besieged this place with heavy troops, and the two sides often had friction and misfire. After Wang Fan appeared, the defense here was handed over to Nie Shuai's 6th Column, and now guarding here is the 1st Division of the New 17th Infantry Division under the 6th Column, which is reorganized into the 51st Regiment. At the same time, in charge of the Longdong sub-district was the reorganization of the 50th Regiment.

The hinterland of the Ziwuling Mountains of Ning County, Jiuxian area.

Ma Bufang's father and son were leading their elite troops to this place at this time. In order to fight the battle of the surprise attack on Shaanxi, Ma Bufang not only left Huang Zuxun's 91st Army (under the jurisdiction of two divisions: the 191st Division and the 245th Division) to take care of his family, but also brought his own elite 82nd Army (Army Commander Ma Jiyuan) and 129th Army (Army Commander Ma Buluan) all of them.

Among them, the 82nd Army is Ma Bufang's starting force, with three elite divisions under its jurisdiction. The 129th Army has two divisions under its jurisdiction. In addition, this time, he also gathered the 14th Brigade of Ma Chengxian's cavalry of the 82nd Army, the 8th Brigade of the Ma Ying Cavalry of the 129th Army of Ma Buluan, and the five cavalry regiments under the jurisdiction of the 100th Division, the 190th Division, the 248th Division, the 287th Division, and the 357th Division, and formed a cavalry group with a number of nearly 20,000 as the main force for breaking into Shaanxi and burning and looting.

"Dad, there's Jiuxian ahead." Ma Jiyuan, who was riding on horseback, said.

"Well, how many troops are there for the Red Party? Did the units get to their positions? Ma Bufang held the telescope in his hand and asked while observing.

"Our spies found out that the Red Party has deployed about one regiment of troops in the area of Jiuxian, distributed in the areas of Xinzhuang and Xiwa, as for our army, the 190th Division from Qingyang and the 248th Division from Panke are located on the left and right sides of us (referring to the 100th Division) from Banqiao, and the 129th Army and the main cavalry force are assembled about 5 kilometers behind us and can attack at any time." Ma Jiyuan, who had a battlefield map in his head, talked eloquently.

"Okay, after a while, first order the howitzer battalion to open fire and suppress, and then the security team (about 2 regiments) will attack, and after the enemy's fire is attracted, then order the 100th Division to launch the main charge, and at the same time order the 190th Division and the 248th Division each to send one to participate in the attack. In addition, Ma Buluan was told that his 129th Army was used as a reserve for the whole army. The cavalry unit sent the 14th Brigade (Ma Chengxian's Division) to make a quick detour along the path to Ziwuling, interspersed with the division of Xinzhuang and Xiwa positions, cut off their connection with other places, and sent a large number of light cavalry spies to conduct reconnaissance around the area! Ma Bufang ordered.

"Yes, Daddy! Are we being too careful, though? Is it still so cautious to use the strength of an army to storm a regiment of the opposing party? Wouldn't it be over with just a trip? Ma Jiyuan agreed, but wondered.

"The lion fights the rabbit, you must use all your strength!" Ma Bufang shook his head, and then explained: "I want to see the reaction of the Red Party, if the other party can send a large number of troops to support, then we will immediately take advantage of the large number of cavalry to withdraw to Qinghai!" If the other side did not send reinforcements, or only sent a small number of reinforcements, then our original judgment was correct, the Red Party ostensibly sat on the four provinces and had a strong army, but in fact the troops were empty, and there were no troops to send at all! ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, the commander-in-chief of the sixth column, Nie Rongzhen, was analyzing Ma Bufang's march through the map. This time, in the face of the three-way Ma Jiajun attacked from Ningxia, Gansu, and Qinghai, the Red Party's arrangement was that Ye Jianying's 7 columns would deal with the weakest Ningxia Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin; The 6th Column was mainly to clean up Ma Bufang in Qinghai, and Xu Xiangqian's 8th Column was responsible for annihilating Ma Buqing in Gansu. In terms of troops, it is 300,000 against 180,000 of the "four horses" in three columns, not to mention in terms of equipment and weapons. The only thing to worry about is to be annihilated this time and not let one go. Therefore, before the encirclement is arranged, it is necessary to use bait to attract the place tightly, and the strength of the defensive counterattack is too ruthless to beat Ma Jiajun's army too painful, and the defensive force is too weak, and it is not advisable to let the opponent break through or cause heavy losses that the defending troops should not have.

"The other party is in!" Nie Shuai looked at the large-scale map and said.

"Now it's up to the Xinzhuang and Xiwa defense troops!" 6. Luo Ronghuan, political commissar of the 6th column, replied.

"We have enough troops in Xinzhuang and Xiwa, right?" Wang Fan, who was also in the command room, was a little worried and asked.

"Hehe, Comrade Wang Fan, don't worry!" Seeing Wang Fan's slightly nervous expression, Chief of Staff Geng Biao smiled and comforted: "We have arranged the strength of one regiment on the bright side of Xinzhuang and Xiwa, and in fact, we have secretly reinforced the strength of another regiment, and at the same time, the outermost front of these two places has not changed, but the innermost core positions are made of cement and steel bars, and if there is an accident in the battle situation, it is enough to support the arrival of the main force with those strong fortifications." ”

"That's good!" After Wang Fan heard Geng Biao's answer, he was relieved and nodded in reply.

"If it weren't for the fear that Ma Bufang would be scared away as soon as he came up, our army could also build cement and steel bars in the outermost fortifications. However, as long as Ma Bufang is stuck here for half a day, by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the encirclement will be closed, and then it will be time to close the door and beat the dog! Nie Shuai was also happy and comforted.

"Boom, boom!" (At this time, the sound of shelling can be heard in the distance)

"The battle has begun!" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan glanced in the direction of Xinzhuang and Xiwa, and muttered to himself.

At this time, the officers and men of the 51st Regiment of the New 17th Infantry Division were hiding in bunkers and observing the movements of Ma Jiajun. Although Ma Bufang has a howitzer battalion, the shells are not rich, and he is reluctant to consume them all in a battle. After hastily bombarding more than 30 rounds, the militia brought by Ma Jiajun slowly touched it with a rifle. Because it is the existence of the lowest level of the Ma Jiajun, the military uniforms are not uniform, and some of the militia soldiers are dressed in colorful clothes, which is very rusty and past.

"Commander, do you want to fight?" In the headquarters of the 51st Regiment, Political Commissar Duan Cheng asked.

"Wait a minute, it seems that the first ones to come up are the miscellaneous pieces of the Ma Jiajun, used to attract firepower, I saw that two or three of them were still holding bird guns, communicator!" The head of the regiment, Fan Hua, shouted as he spoke.

"Here!"

"Tell the battalion commander to shoot on the ladder, don't stun the other party all at once!"

"Yes!"

Three minutes later, when Ma Bufang's Qinghai security team, which was walking in the forefront, walked 300 meters to a place 300 meters away from the forefront of the Red Party, the first battalion of the newly formed 51st Regiment opened fire.

"Tutu Tu Tu ~~~"

"Dada~~~"

"Mortar, put!" The commander of the first battalion shouted.

"Yes!"

"Poof, poof!"

"Boom, boom!"

The fire network composed of Type 56 assault guns, light machine guns and heavy machine guns, and mortars formed an effective anti-personnel fan, and more than 100 members of Ma Bufang's security team, who were at the forefront, were shot and fell, or killed or seriously injured and groaned.

"Kill~~ Avenge the brothers!"

"Go up and slaughter them!"

"Allah willing!"

Ma Bufang's subordinates were worthy of the title of bandits, and the sudden loss not only did not frighten them, but aroused the ferocity and cruelty in their bones, and rushed up like waves with rifles and sabers.

"Huh?" Ma Bufang and Ma Jiyuan, who had been holding binoculars to observe the front line, furrowed their eyebrows at the same time.

"Why is the enemy firepower so fierce?" Ma Bufang frowned and asked.

"It's strange, even the elite of the bald party doesn't have such powerful automatic firepower!" Ma Jiyuan followed and said. Although Ma Jiyuan is young, he became a colonel and deputy head at the age of 16, and at the age of 20, he went to the general Lu general class for further study, and his vision is the highest among the young horses.

"Jiyuan, you said that the descendants of the bald party don't have such strong firepower?" Ma Bufang asked after hearing it.

"Yes, Dad, except for a few German armorers at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, it is impossible for other bald armies to have such powerful firepower!" Ma Jiyuan said with certainty.

"I see, so it explains why they have been in the province lately! Follow-up!! ”

"In!"

"Contact the cavalry troops behind, double it, no, add 3 times the scout cavalry, and give it to me, I want to know the enemy situation around me as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Adjutant!"

"In!"

"Order the howitzer battalion, give me concentrated fire and bombard enemy positions!"

"Yes!"

Three minutes later, the sound of howitzer bombardment was heard again on the positions of the first battalion of the 51st regiment.

"***, Xiao Chen!"

"In!"

"Go to the village and tell the regiment commander that if you don't want to suppress those howitzers, the losses of the fighters are too great!"

"Yes, I'll go!"

Five minutes later, the artillery battalion of the reorganized 51st Regiment (equipped with mountain artillery) removed its shelter and began to return fire according to the pre-marked firing elements.

"Red party troops with artillery?" After Ma Bufang heard the sound of the other party's cannonball, his brows couldn't help but furrow deeper. Secretly analyzed in his heart: "This is the Red Party's intention to strengthen? Or is it their standard configuration? "If it is the former, then it means that the Red Party really does not have many soldiers, and it is very likely that the most elite teaching regiments and other troops will be deployed here, but if it is the latter, then this attack on Shaanxi is a complete mistake. Thinking of this, he asked loudly, "Is there any news from the scout cavalry sent?" ”

"No, Daddy! There are no Red Party reinforcements and troops for dozens of miles nearby, and we have completely isolated and surrounded this force! Ma Jiyuan replied loudly in order to let his father hear clearly in the sound of the cannon.

"Is it really the first one?" didn't hear the expected bad news, Ma Bufang was a little puzzled and hesitant.

"Daddy! Isn't it time for the 100th Division to attack? The security team is almost crippled! Ma Jiyuan didn't pay attention to his father's expression, and at this time, through the binoculars, he saw most of the Ma family's troops retreating in panic in the front position, and couldn't help but remind.

"En~~~ According to the original plan, let the 100th division, attack!!" In the end, the gambling overpowered the rational Ma Bufang, waved his hand, and ordered.

"Yes!"
