Chapter 196 begins to attack the city for 9,000 words, asking for a monthly ticket

The road to survival is in front of him, looking at the empty intersection, Ma Biao and the remaining cavalry rushed forward with the fastest speed in his life.

"Rush"

"Rush Out"

"Rush out and you'll be alive"

The sound of "booming" horses' hooves sounded on the official road, with Ma Biao in front, and the remaining more than 3,000 cavalry surging towards the exit in the back honeycomb.

Ma Biao, who suddenly rushed to the front, was as if he had been punched head-on by a giant, and the whole person flew back upside down, and his body fell into the arms of a cavalryman behind.

The cavalryman was also quick-eyed, hugged Ma Biao's body and shouted: "Shizao, are you okay?"

I haven't heard Ma Biao's answer for a long time, the cavalryman looked down and looked, Ma Biao's face was hideous, but his eyes were tightly closed, and then the cavalryman also felt strange, how could Ma Biao's sturdy body be so light and fluttering? The cavalry lifted Ma Biao's body hard, only to find that he only had half of Ma Biao's body in his hand, and the other half was still galloping with the war horse in front.

"Master's Seat"

The cavalryman's terrible cry lasted less than a few seconds before it was interrupted by a 12.7 large-caliber bullet, and less than 200 meters in front of them, I don't know when a machine gun position was constructed, and hundreds of machine guns were densely arranged at this exit less than 100 meters. The density of an average machine gun per meter is afraid that even flies will fly out, let alone cavalry?

"Knock knock" This is the sound of the M2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun roaring.

"Click, click" is the characteristic oilcloth-like strafing sound of the MG34 machine gun.

No one who has never seen such a scene can imagine the tragic fate of the cavalry in a narrow area under the fire of more than a hundred machine guns. All the projectiles made of metal gathered into a golden barrage in the official road crossing, which lasted for nearly ten minutes, and in this short period of ten minutes, more than 100 machine guns fired nearly 200,000 rounds.

And all these bullets were consumed by more than 3,000 cavalrymen, an average of seventy or eighty bullets per person, so that by the time the gunfire stopped after ten minutes, there were no more creatures at the official crossing that could stand up. The land with a radius of nearly 5,000 square meters was full of stumps and broken arms, and for the first time, the eternally thirsty land on the ground was saturated because it had absorbed too much liquid.

When the gunfire stopped, Liu Jun pushed away the M2 heavy machine gun in front of him, staring blankly at the hellish scene in front of him, not knowing what it was like.

"Vomit"

"Vomit"

The sound of vomiting sounded next to him, Liu Jun looked back, and it turned out that the recruits who had just been added to the first battalion in the past few days couldn't stand the convulsions in their stomachs due to the scene in front of them, and they all handed over what they had eaten at noon one by one.

At this time, there was silence on the battlefield, except for a few horses that had not yet died, lying on the ground and occasionally letting out a hoarse scream. Ren Ran walked to the front, looked at the scene in front of him, exclaimed in disbelief, and said, "The first division is playing like this?" ”

"Yes, Ma Bufang's first division is playing" Liu Jun walked to Ren Ran's side, his face was melancholy. When the First Cavalry Division was not destroyed, he hated them so much, but when the First Division was really all submerged in front of him, there was a sadness in his heart, when will this war between his own people and his own people be a head.

Half an hour later, a telegram was sent from the official road next to the city of Dole County: "Peng Zeyuan, commander of the 10th Infantry Division of the Ministry of Ranks, sent a telegram to Commander Su and Chief of General Staff Chiang. At 3:47 p.m. on May 17, 26th year of the Republic of China, the 10th Infantry Division completely annihilated more than 3,200 remnants of the 1st Cavalry Division under Ma Bufang at the mouth of the pipeline near the suburbs of Dule County, Qinghai Province. ”

"Okay, this 10th Division is doing a good job," Jiang Baili looked at the telegram in his hand and nodded with satisfaction in the temporary headquarters outside Xining.

"Chief of Staff, now that the task of the first phase has been completed, is it time for us to launch a general attack on Xining City next?" Zhang Lengmo, the commander of the 11th Division next to him, saw that Jiang Baili was in a high mood, and couldn't help but ask beside him.

"En" Jiang Baili nodded, and instructed the staff officer: "Order the 10th Division to be rebuilt immediately, and we will launch an attack at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

At present, the Chahar army outside Xining City has reached three infantry divisions, one armored division and one artillery division, with a total strength of about 60,000 troops, and Jiang Baili, who is full of soldiers, is confident that he will take Xining City within three days.

The setting sun shone on the city wall of Xining City and the dense bunkers outside the city, at this time Xining City after half a month of intense deployment by Ma Bufang, has formed a fortification composed of three outer defense lines and several defense lines temporarily rebuilt from residential buildings and streets in the city. In Ma Bufang's opinion, with these defensive lines, plus his temporary 100th cavalry division (well, now changed to an infantry division) and nearly 20,000 militia soldiers recruited from nearby to defend a total of more than 30,000 people, it would take at least 100,000 troops for several months to capture this place. If he waited for Ma Biao to return to Xining with his first cavalry division, it would not be impossible to even counterattack, he wanted to let the people see that Ma Bufang was not a vegetarian.

Three kilometers away from the defensive position outside Xining City, Wang Qinglong, the major general of the Fourth Artillery Division, stood on an artillery position, holding a telescope and looking at the outer defense line of Xining City in front of him, but he was silent with a faint disdainful smile on his face. Behind him was a regiment of eighteen M1 203 mm heavy howitzers, which would be relied upon tomorrow morning to blow up the pillboxes outside Xining and open a passage.

Seeing a group of people coming from a distance, Wang Qinglong took a closer look, and hurriedly walked over and saluted: "I have seen the chief of the general staff of Jiang from a low position, and the chief of staff is welcome to come to inspect."

Jiang Baili pointed at Wang Qinglong with his finger and said with a smile: "Don't be sloppy with me, you kid, I'm telling you, if you don't complete your task tomorrow, I won't be able to spare you." ”

Wang Qinglong put down his saluting hand and hurriedly said with a smile: "Look at what you said, how dare I, Wang Qinglong, don't worry, if you don't blow up the bunker outside Xining City, you can withdraw me."

Jiang Baili glared at Wang Qinglong: "Don't give me a sloppy look, you kid don't give me a sloppy eye, Commander Su has called to inquire about the attack on Xining City, if you can't take down the peripheral positions because of your artillery division, you can explain to Commander Su yourself when the time comes." ”

"Yes" Wang Qinglong's face also became serious, and he made a promise again: "Report to the chief, I promise, if I can't blow up the bunker group outside the city, I will carry the explosives bag myself."

"En" Jiang Baili looked a little embarrassed, smiled and nodded: "It's good that you can have this confidence, I don't believe it, just with your sixteen heavy guns of 203 caliber and more than 150 heavy guns of more than 105 caliber, can't you blow up the earthen bunkers of Xining City?" ”

Wang Qinglong smiled bitterly: "Then you also came to scare the lowly position, don't you know that the lowly position is timid?" ”

"If you kid is timid, no one will be bold" Jiang Baili scolded with a smile: "I'm just giving you a reminder, if you fight, your gunner is the top priority, don't drop the chain for me." ”

In Ma Bufang's apartment in Xining City, Ma Bufang, who was walking alone in the small garden, looked at the setting sun, and felt sad in his heart, is my good life coming to an end?

Chahar's army has surrounded Xining City for nearly half a month, and in this half a month, he has pleaded with countless people or groups through telegrams, but none of them have reached out to help, and Ma Bufang hated it when he thought of this, "A group of ungrateful bastards, who call Lao Tzu brothers and sisters on weekdays, now look down on others and become turtles one by one." ”

"And Su Tong, who kills a thousand knives, didn't Lao Tzu just rob a woman, and he was guilty of beating Lao Tzu with such a high-sounding reason? In the final analysis, it's not just that I fell in love with Lao Tzu's family business, and I'm not a good thing. ”

When Ma Bufang was secretly scolding in his heart, Ma Zhanying walked in, he walked quickly to Ma Zhanying's side and whispered: "Chairman Ma, according to the report of the people on the city wall, the Chahar army outside the city has moved, their infantry have entered the position, the artillery has faded from the cannon clothing, and it is estimated that the city will be attacked today and tomorrow." ”

Ma Bufang smiled bitterly and said, "People just told us that they were going to attack the city, but what can we do?" The initiative is in their hands, and they can fight whenever they want. People are swordsmen, I am sorry for fish and meat," Ma Bufang slowly walked towards the door, looking at the faltering old chief, Ma Zhanying felt for the first time that Chairman Ma, who had followed him all his life, was old.

The night slowly faded his coat, revealing his pure white color, and the sky in the distance had revealed a small corner of the rising sun, reflecting the morning glow, like molten steel just poured out of the blast furnace, radiant, making people dare not open their eyes to look directly.

Wang Qinglong stood upright on the artillery position of the M1 203 caliber heavy artillery, holding the walkie-talkie transmitter in his right hand, and with a solemn expression, he raised his left hand and looked at the 'Leighton' high-level multi-functional mechanical watch produced by the Chahar No. 1 Watch Factory that was only equipped for senior officers above the rank of general.

The time on the watch is 6:59 a.m. on May 18, 1937

When the second hand reached the twelfth position, Wang Qinglong shouted loudly into the microphone: "All fire"

"Open the gun"

"Open the gun"

"Open the gun"

After the orders were conveyed, a deafening sound of artillery suddenly sounded on the position, which was relatively scattered at first, and then became more and more dense, and nothing could be heard on the position except the sound of artillery
