Chapter 327: The Three Horses join forces

The wind is roaring, the yellow sand is long, the sunset outside the plug, the dusk is full of blood red, five thousand soldiers, standing solemnly, the wind, blowing the clothes fluttering, solidified into a speechless statue.

Two hundred and seventeen new tombs, the yellow sand has been inlaid with golden round edges, Ma Chaozong and several of his cronies, kneeling in front of the grave, Ma Chaozong has no ferocity, here, he fully understands, why he was hit so fiercely.

"Ma Chaozong" Tang Qiuli snorted lightly, Ma Chaozong raised his head, a crisp gunshot, Ma Chaozong's forehead, a thumb-thick blood hole appeared, and he plunged into the yellow sand, like atoning for the sins of the soldiers who died in battle.

Tang Qiuli left the gun in his hand, quietly landed, two lines of tears, swooped down, turned to leave, the wind, blowing the short hair full of patches, the back of the sunset, lonely, lonely and tall, strong.

The culprit is eliminated, why is there no relaxation and excitement in my heart?

A few gunshots rang out behind him, and several remnants of the Ningdong Security Brigade were lying in front of the graves of the sacrificed soldiers.

The commander of the reconnaissance company of the Red Army, greeted Tang Qiuli, with anger and reproach in his eyes, why did he shoot the prisoner? In the end, you are the army of the Kuomintang, and you cannot change the murderous nature.

Tang Qiuli glanced at him coldly, and here you are again, don't ask me for your rules, there are no murderers and scum in the independent division, there is no so-called mercy and forgiveness in my Tang Qiuli's dictionary.

The Red Army reconnaissance company commander's heart was cold, although Tang Qiuli didn't say a word, but at this glance, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and he was suddenly pressed against his throat, and the words that brought him to his mouth were forced back.

This glance made his heart full of fear for this young Kuomintang general, and in front of him, he could not raise any courage, and of course, there was a bitter hatred for the Kuomintang, perhaps, this feeling would accompany him for the rest of his life.

In the battle of Andingbao, more than 4,000 people of the Ningdong Security Brigade were wiped out, and no one survived, and the brigade commander Ma Chaozong and his three regiment commanders were killed by bullets.

The news was quickly transmitted to Ma Hongkui's ears by the former Ningdong Security Brigade and the soldiers left behind in other garrisons, and these soldiers were lucky enough to pick up a life, because when the troops of the independent division arrived at their station, the soldiers of the Ningdong Security Brigade had already fled, and the independent division occupied a four-door open and empty barracks.

Ma Hongkui was extremely angry, he didn't feel distressed to death, he was not very sad about Ma Chaozong's cousin, the key was his own family background, it was not easy to get together enough men and horses for a brigade, and after shooting a few soldiers who fled to report the news, he remembered to ask about the incident in detail.

What puzzled Ma Hongkui was that the Red Army of the Communist Party did not fight its own Ningdong Security Brigade, but the Central Army took action, although it had no friendship with Lao Jiang, and the emperor was far away, and he did not obey the discipline very much.

But on the issue of fighting the Red Army, we are in a group, how can we say that we will turn our faces? My Ma Hongkui is not a soft persimmon, so easy to pinch the ancient, since you did it first, you can't wait to be beaten if you are hungry?

It doesn't matter if you are the Central Army or the Red Army, if you move the rice in my bowl and occupy my territory, my old horse will fight with you, or else, will there be any confusion?

Ma Hongkui immediately sent an urgent telegram to Qingma and Ganma, explaining in detail the shape and the stakes, and comparing the Central Army's move in Andingbao this time with last year's Red Army's Western Expedition.

It's just that they, like Ma Hongkui, have a question that puzzles them, how can the Central Army do it with themselves if the Red Army is not fighting?

In any case, the Central Army is Lao Jiang's team, and it is useless to theorize with him, just fight, the Great Northwest has always been the territory of the Ma family brothers, and the foreign one was not beaten to the point and returned defeated.

The Red Army was so powerful, Lao Chiang's more than one million troops, there was no way, it was not that we were joined forces by the five horses in the northwest and wiped out the whole army.

Qingma, Ganma, and Ningma gathered in Yinchuan, convened an emergency military meeting, and decided to set up a joint front enemy headquarters in Wuzhong City, Ningxia, and the three horses went to the front line in person to unify the command of the troops, and informed the other two horses of the situation in Ningxia.

The other two horses, because the battlefield was far away from them, were not in a hurry, and for the sake of the same clan, the same surname, and the same religion, although they did not send troops, they supported a large amount of munitions.

In fact, the five horses in the northwest have also been the emperor of the soil for a long time, and they can't tolerate the slightest grievance, only they send a telegram to the Nanjing Nationalist Government to protest, and the truth of the matter will be revealed to the world.

They urgently dispatched troops, and they couldn't even figure out what the opponent was, could they still fight this battle?

For a time, the battle clouds were dense on the front line of Dingbian, Yanchi, and Hui'anbao, and the five horses in the northwest once again united to jointly deal with external forces.

A total of 140,000 troops were dispatched from Ningma, Ganma, and Qingma, and pressed in two directions in the direction of Dingbian, where Shaanxi and Ningxia meet.

Starting from Qingyang, Gansu, Ganma's troops included the 103rd, 29th, and 87th Divisions of the Ganma Division, as well as the 1st and 2nd Independent Cavalry Divisions, totaling more than 46,000 troops.

Qingma's troops, starting from Xining in Qinghai, passing through Zhongwei in Ningxia, to join the troops of Wuzhong and Ningma, totaled more than 53,000 troops of the 53rd Army, the 330th Division, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mixed Cavalry Brigades of the Qingma Division.

Because it was fighting on the territory of Ningma, Ma Hongkui poured all his forces and concentrated on the Wuzhong line, including the 39th Army, the 28th Army, the 47th Division, and the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions, totaling more than 73,000 troops.

In this way, on the line from Wuzhong in Ningxia to Qingyang in Gansu, the total strength of the three horses has reached 170,000, of which there are more than 50,000 people in four divisions and three brigades in the cavalry alone.

The three horses joined forces to compete with him, Tang Qiuli thought about it, after all, the five horses in the northwest were masters of group fighting, but after such a large amount of capital, he was taken aback, according to the original estimate, the three horses jointly sent troops, 100,000 to 120,000 people is already the limit, but I didn't expect it to be so much.

The three horses frequently moved their troops, and the intelligence had been known by Tang Qiuli, he looked at the information, and his head was dizzy for a while, the total strength of the three horses was three times that of himself, and the cavalry was more than three times that of himself, and the only thing he had the advantage of was the artillery force.

This battle is a bit difficult to fight, as the saying goes, "there are many ants, bite the elephant to death", the three horses are desperate with themselves, the troops of the independent division, the fastest must arrive before noon tomorrow, if the three horses pour their forces, attack on the whole line, attack Dingbian overnight, they only lead Liu Chun's cavalry brigade and Tang Qiuquan's special operations detachment, their own guard brigade abandoned the city and fled.

Leaving this mess to Xu Haidong's Red Twenty-fifth Army, as for whether the south of the water is to guide Yan'an, it doesn't care about righteousness, and his more than 6,000 horses are not drowned in the crowd of three horses.

This night, tense and uneasy, the outside of Dingbian City, which was calm, was full of tension inside, and the commanders of the independent division at all levels stayed awake all night.

Tang Qiuli sent out the Red Army reconnaissance company, all of the special operations detachment, and part of the guard brigade left by General Xu Haidong to monitor the movements of the three horse troops in all directions.

What reassured him was that Brother Qiuquan personally led the special operations detachment to the front line to reconnoiter the situation of Sanma, he believed in Brother Qiuquan's ability, but under the situation of confrontation with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, any accident could happen.

News kept coming from the radio that the three horse troops on the line from Qingyang to Wuzhong did not show any signs of offensive at present, but that the troops were frequently moved, and the three horses had many numbers and complicated troops, and our reconnaissance personnel had already mixed in with their troops to understand the situation in detail.

Call to ask for instructions, whether to catch a tongue and come back, it is more convenient for the division commander to understand the situation, Tang Qiuli was startled, and it is beneficial to himself to maintain a relatively confrontational situation at present, and Sanma does not know how many troops he has in the Dingbian area.

They didn't dare to attack rashly, grabbed their tongues, stimulated the three horses, if they launched an attack, with this little man in their hands, they couldn't resist it, don't act rashly, what they need most now is time, he immediately ordered the reconnaissance troops, and no one should alarm the three horses as the highest criterion of action.

The long night finally passed, nothing happened, and the troops of the three horses were still in their original locations, but after the transfer of last night, the troops of the three horses formed two heavy groups.

In the direction of Qingyang, Gansu, the troops of Ganma were the mainstay, with more than 46,000 troops.

In the direction of Wuzhong in Ningxia, Qingma and Ningma are the mainstays, with about 120,000 troops.

Tang Qiuli kept looking for various locations on the map, and Zhao Yuhe whispered beside him: "Division commander, judging from the deployment of the three horses, their intention is to form two attack arrows, with Wu Zhong's Ningma and Qingma as the mainstay, to attack me from the front, and Ganma to attack my flank, so that our forces are scattered, and after eating one of our troops with superior forces, we will concentrate all our forces and force me to fight a decisive battle." ”

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe approvingly, he admired this young chief of staff, Zhao Yuhe could always analyze the other party's intentions in the complicated situation, and provide himself with the right advice.

Tang Qiuli didn't see the intention of the three horses, if the current situation remained unchanged, the three horse soldiers divided into two ways and formed a pincer offensive against themselves, they would inevitably force themselves to divide their troops to fight, so that the forces that were already less than they could deal with would not have an advantage in that direction.

It will inevitably be a tragic fight, even if it wins, it will be a tragic victory, the casualties of the troops will make the independent division hurt its muscles and bones, what will it do to deal with the Japanese devils in the future?

What's more, the troops of the Independent Division are now on the way, Tang Qiuli kept sending telegrams, urging Feng Jiwu to speed up the march, but it took time, he could only swallow his saliva wildly, looking at the tens of thousands of troops on the road, and swallowing and foaming.

Feng Jiwu was about to drive him crazy, he knew that the military situation was urgent, but the road conditions in Shaanxi were really bad, there was no way, he gave a death order, all troops could not arrive at the location of the division commander before twelve o'clock at noon today, this army immediately revoked the number, and the soldiers were disorganized and divided into other troops.
