A month after the Battle of Xinkou began, the Fifth Army of the Northwest warlord Wang Zizhi finally threw away the name of the Central Committee and joined the war in the name of the Youth Army

March 25, 1930.

Gansu, Pingliang County.

A raid battle had just ended, and after the fierce battle, the Pingliang city wall was a dilapidated scene, and the moat at the head of the city was full of purple and black blood. The strong and choking smell of gunpowder smoke permeated near Pingliang City.

It was just after dawn that the officers and men of the Second Division of the Youth Army began to repair the fortifications and clean up the battlefield.

In the Pingliang War, the 2nd Division of the 20,000-strong Youth Army attacked the city, and the Central G side was an independent regiment of the Production and Construction Corps with more than 2,000 people defending the city. The casualties on both sides were basically one to one, with losses of about 1,000 people each. The fierce fighting lasted from the early morning of the 24th to the dawn of the 25th, almost 24 hours, and the independent regiment of the Chinese G Army, which had been struggling to support, had no choice but to break through and leave after waiting for reinforcements to arrive. However, the youth army did not pursue, but raised the muzzle of the gun by three inches and let people go, perhaps Wang Zizhi did not want to make things bigger, and his goal was only the small territory of Longdong. Because at the same time as the fierce battle in Pingliang, the border between Ningxia and northern Shaanxi was a quiet situation without fighting on the western front, although there was also a division of the youth army confronting the opposite side of the Chinese G Army, but both sides restrained themselves and did not fire the first shot.

Although he won the first battle, at the head of Pingliang City, Wang Zishi's face was still blue. The tenacity shown by Army G in this battle was greatly unexpected. It is just a production-oriented Tuntian Corps, and it is still fighting vigorously in the face of an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength and firepower. Even after the city wall was breached, he even relied on Pingliang City to fight with the youth army for a night, and only broke through and left until dawn...... The Youth Army, which has always considered itself to be the second strongest soldier in China, had to admit that the Chinese G Army, as an opponent, was the real elite soldier after the war

Perhaps out of respect for the heroic and tenacious enemy, rows of shallow pits have been dug in the open space far away from Pingliang City, the remains of the fallen soldiers of the Youth Army are on the right, and the loyal bones of the martyrs of the Central G Army are on the left, just like their political stance before their deaths, but the corpses are wrapped in the same white cloth. The Youth Army placed the corpses of the war dead as much as possible, and also erected tombstones, while the fallen soldiers of the Youth Army indicated their identities and places of origin, and the heroes and martyrs of the Chinese G Army could only indicate the number of the unit on the tombstones.

Looking out from the head of Pingliang City, the tombstones made of wood, just like these two armies were in life, neatly arranged on the left and right sides, until the distance. A four-color al-Shabaab flag and a sickle and axe in the middle of the two cemeteries fluttered in the wind. It seems to lead the loyal souls of the martyrs on both sides to another earth-shattering battle in another world.

There were too many troops rushing to Pingliang one after another, and Wang Zijiu, the commander of the Youth Army, had never been in the habit of despising his opponent, and in order to seize the palm-sized territory of Longdong, he mobilized five divisions of nearly 100,000 troops so many troops that the city could not be placed in for a long time. Tent camps were set up outside the city, smoke began to rise from the field kitchens, and the army that had come from all over the northwest would take a short rest under Pingliang City. Of course, it is also to show the family background, if you can force the opponent to shrink his forces and give up Longdong, it is naturally ideal. What Wang Zijiu wants is not to lose both sides with China and G.

The army can rest, but the al-Shabaab cadres who come with the army cannot. Their work has only just begun. The newly seized territory must immediately establish power, and those who remain in the Central G must also try to screen and see whether they should be expelled or retained. As for...... Shooting targets, Wang Zijiu is unwilling to do things absolutely. Today's situation in China can be said to be strange, and today's enemies may be allies, and the current allies may be about to turn their guns on them
