Chapter 328: Each one is broken

Feng Jiwu, as an experienced soldier, realized that the scale of this battle was not small from the beginning of the division commander's mobilization of troops, and he also knew some details about the five horses in the northwest, and knew that they were all masters of group fighting.

When he was about to set off, he proposed to Liu Tiehan and Tang Qiusheng, the two deputy division commanders, to lead the troops to set off, and then transfer the Fourth Independent Brigade, the Second Artillery Brigade, and the Huangyadong Garrison Brigade, totaling more than 24,000 troops, to form the second echelon, which was led by Deputy Division Commander Liu, and then reinforced the northwest battlefield.

Liu Tiehan and Tang Qiusheng completely agreed with Feng Jiwu's suggestion that there was a main brigade and more than 40,000 recruits left in the Taihang Mountain base area, and after several months of training, they would soon be able to become an army, and the security of the base area had been basically guaranteed, and the Japanese had not moved in the near future, not to mention, there were still troops of the 29th Army monitoring them.

As for the transport vehicles, they were requisitioned and dispatched in Pingjin to ensure that they rushed to the northwest battlefield as quickly as possible.

After Tang Qiuli knew the total strength of the three horses, he did not consider the issue of increasing troops from North China, the difference between the strength of himself and the three horses in the northwest was too great, and the quality advantage could not withstand the huge quantity, and this battle would be difficult.

However, considering that their main enemy is the Japanese in North China, it is not necessarily known whether the Japanese will take the opportunity to take action if they empty their forces in North China.

He hesitated for a long time, but he could not make up his mind, and now he asked the Red Army to cooperate with the action, which was unreasonable in terms of time and psychology, not to mention that he was in the Dingbian area, and he still had a plot.

After the end of the Northwest Campaign, Tang Qiuli specially set up a banquet to entertain a few old fellows, thanking them for their initiative and making contributions to the Northwest Campaign.

As everyone knows, how big the risk is, if the Japanese start a war at this time, or provoke an incident, the situation in Pingjin in North China will quickly erode and be out of control, so Tang Qiuli wants to thank them, took a great risk, and made the decision to send troops again, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, which shows their sincerity and selflessness.

Tang Qiuli didn't know this for the time being, he was in Dingbian City, he was anxious, the sun had risen very high, and the dry wind, mixed with steaming heat, made people irritable from the heart.

He looked forward to it, walked out of the house several times, looked eastward, and later, simply arrived at the east gate of Dingbian County, he led the troops to fight for several years, and his heart had never been so anxious and empty-hearted.

Just after eleven o'clock in the afternoon, several cavalry communicators, playing sweaty war horses, galloped from the loess road in the east.

Seeing the division commander, the cavalry correspondent was very surprised, and hurriedly jumped off his horse, "Report to the division commander, the correspondent of the second cavalry brigade, come to report the situation, all of our brigade, under the leadership of brigade commander Tong, have arrived near Dingbian County, and there are twenty minutes to enter the city." ”

Tang Qiuli felt that these soldiers were more lovely than ever, what they brought was the gospel, Tong Batu arrived, and the other troops were not far from here, and the hanging heart finally fell into the stomach.

He was a little strange, three infantry brigades and artillery brigades, sitting in cars, and the wheels of the cars did not run as fast as the hooves of horses?

After asking these cavalry correspondents, I realized what was going on, after crossing the Yellow River from Liulin, the road from Suide to Jingbian in Shaanxi was really not easy to walk, and the cars could not run at all, so they did not ride fast, and the cavalry brigade of the 29th Army and the second cavalry brigade of Tong Batu ran to the front of the marching army.

After a while, on the loess road in the east, the dust was flying, the yellow dust was soaring into the sky, the dense sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance like thunder, and the cavalry queue that could not be forgotten at a glance was surging over like waves.

Tong Batu and Brigade Commander Zhao of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade were very excited when they saw that the army commander was also a division commander and greeted them at the east gate, and immediately dismounted to report on the situation of the troops.

Not long after the cavalry troops, the sound of innumerable car motors gradually resounded from far and near, and the yellow dust that the cavalry stepped on had not yet fallen, and there was a sky that rose all over the sky, and all the troops participating in the battle of the independent division overcame a difficult time and arrived at the position designated by the division commander 30 minutes ahead of schedule.

From the cavalry and their horses, from the cars and the faces of the soldiers on the cars, with a thick layer of yellow dust, it can be seen that with what kind of will, in order to fulfill the orders they have given, with such loyal and tenacious soldiers, what kind of enemy cannot be defeated?

Feng Jiwu's face was full of dust, he couldn't hide his exhaustion, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse: "Report to the division commander, all the participating troops of the independent division, arrive at the designated position on time, and wait for the division commander's order."

Tang Qiuli didn't say anything, just shook Feng Jiwu's hand tightly, and the senior officers all walked into the headquarters, and the military meeting began immediately.

Looking at the telegram sent back by the reconnaissance troops, Tang Qiuli and Feng Jiwu's eyes fell on Qingyang almost at the same time, and this battle could only make a fuss in the direction of Qingyang.

Towards the end of the evening, the front-line reconnaissance unit sent a telegram that the Three Horse Units had begun to move, and their posture was as expected by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, which was divided into two attack directions, of which Qingyang in Ganma was the auxiliary direction, and its marching speed was far less fast than that of Ningma and Qingma in the direction of Wuzhong.

Wishful thinking played well, taking advantage of the fact that he and the Qingma and Ningma in the direction of Wu Zhong were inseparable, he stabbed a knife in his flank position, so that he had no time to separate, and was forced to fight in two directions, and was still in a situation of being surrounded.

Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief, the fighter finally appeared, Qingyang's Ganma and Wu Zhong's Ningma and Qingma's marching steps were inconsistent, which widened the distance between the two sides, and blackened the opportunity for himself, and on the local battlefield, Ganma was in a situation where his troops and equipment were weaker than his own.

According to the predetermined battle plan, all the troops of the independent division drove out of Dingbian County, hiddenly faced the direction of the march of Guima, and set up an ambush circle at the predetermined location.

At the same time, a regiment of troops was left behind, responsible for the emergency evacuation of the residents of Dingbian County to the countryside far away from the county seat, and each person was given two yuan for the journey.

This regiment also undertook an important task, that is, to attract the troops of Ningma and Qingma, who had entered the county seat of Dingbian, to the area of Etoke in Inner Mongolia, and to get as far away as possible from the ambush site of Yiliang.

Gain time for the main force to ambush the Ganma troops, so that Qingma and Ningma will not have time to rescue the ambushed Ganma troops, and also adjust the deployment of the main force of the independent division, and turn back to deal with Qingma and Ningma to gain time, otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Ningma and Qingma will turn around and pounce, and who will surround who may not be able to say?

Residents helped the old and the young, led the livestock, brought what they thought were valuable, complained in a low voice, and reluctantly left their warm homes to settle down in strange places temporarily.

In less than three hours, the residents of the county were evacuated, and the entire Dingbian county became a dead and empty city.

This is the independent division troops wearing the uniforms of the Central Army, they neither persecuted, let alone beaten and scolded, but just stuffed two oceans in everyone's hands to explain the reason for the evacuation, and the residents silently cooperated.

If the Red Army troops do this work, there are no three days, don't think about walking clean, the common people regard the pots and jars in their homes as more important than treasures, let you wear out your mouth, just don't move the place, sometimes, the ideological work, really delay, extreme unpleasant.

The common people know in their hearts that these are all the Central Army, don't look at them as different from other White Army, they are all man-eating wolves in their bones, they are not as easy to talk as the Red Army, they annoy these White Army, not to mention the ocean, the house is burned, and their heads have to be moved, do you see? The officer of the White Army, the guy in his hand is on fire?

Dress up Liang, between Qingyang and Dingbian, located on the side of Gansu, is the only way from Qingyang to Dingbian, after years of rain washing and cutting, the loess is made into thousands of ravines, there are many ditches, those who are not familiar with the terrain are easy to go to other directions.

The former commander-in-chief of the enemy in Gama, who was a highly relied on chief of staff, was the number two man in Gama's troops, and he took the initiative to take on this important task.

This person was scheming, first let Ningma and Qingma attack, entangled the Central Army troops, and the Ganma troops suddenly killed and stabbed the Central Army in the back, which was his idea, and was unanimously praised by the three horses.

Along the way, from time to time to contact the troops in the direction of Wu Zhong to determine his marching speed, in order to achieve the suddenness of the strike, he had to wait until Ningma and Qingma engaged the Central Army, and then he was a surprise soldier and suddenly killed, so mastering the marching speed was the key.

Thanks to his idea, Tang Qiuli had time and time to set up an ambush in the area around the Liang, otherwise, after the Liang, it would be a long yellow earth with a flat river, and the terrain would be available without danger, which would not be conducive to the ambush of the troops, nor would it be conducive to severely damaging the Ganma troops.

More than 60,000 troops of the independent division were quietly ambushed on the side of the ditch, and below was the main road leading to Dingbian, on both sides were knife-like loess cliffs, and the wide loess road was like a dry river, winding into the distance.

On the loess slope, an abandoned cave, the location is very ideal, the field of vision is broad, you can observe the entire battlefield, more than 60,000 soldiers, ambushed here, Tang Qiuli's telescope, in addition to the artemisia grass and bushes swaying in the wind, even the artillery brigade, the shadow of the big and thick 155 caliber heavy artillery, can not be seen.

The soldiers of the independent division fought ambushes, which was a good trick, and they were familiar with the road, and from the day the unit was formed, most of them fought ambush warfare, and the soldiers had a set of experiences.

The sun rises, and the light of ten thousand rays shines on the yellow earth, which is even more desolate and boundless, and in the command post, the walkie-talkie sounds.

The troops in Anding County had already exchanged fire with the Ma Jiajun who were attacking in the direction of Wuzhong, and the voice of the regiment commander looked a little nervous in the walkie-talkie.

Anyone, in the face of an army of more than 100,000 people, will have instinctive fear, even if it is a warrior who is not afraid of life and death, or an invincible general who has experienced a hundred battles, it is not immune.
