The speed of the troops was fast and fast, but fortunately there was no snow in August as the ancient poem said. The pen www.biquge.info the troops also did a good job of keeping warm and cold.

Along the way, the militia was cleared, and there were not many other seizures, and there were really a lot of cattle and sheepskins. They are all rough old men, and they don't need to be so fine, take the leather, soak it with plant ash, remove the grease, order a few straps, cut it almost, take out the sewing kit and simply sew it up, and the leather clothes and leather pants that are enough to keep warm from the cold are made. Along the way, the seizure plus the acquisition, there should be no problem with eight thousand.

The cavalry army and the Red Star Column themselves still have a lot of previous winter clothes, and it is not too difficult to maintain them. Besides, if you don't have it in your own hands, Ma Jiajun should always have it in your hands.

There was good news from Guyuan City, as a retreat for Lao Ma's family, a large number of materials were hoarded inside. In particular, most of the grain and grass prepared by the entire Ningxia army for the front troops have not had time to be transported. It can be regarded as solving the urgent need of the Red Star Column.

Although the marching speed of the troops continued to speed up under the urging of Xia Xinsheng, the limitation of grain and grass became a bottleneck and stuck the neck of the cavalry army, even if several divisions were lined up and marched in unison. In order for the horses to have grass, they have to wait a lot of time every day to go far to feed the horses. Although the seizures along the way were not small, first, there were so many horses to eat, and secondly, I didn't know how many battles had to be fought in front of me, so I had to run a few miles to feed the horses before the time of battle. Good horses have to be kept before the big war, and only when they are desperate can they have enough horsepower.

In addition, a batch of winter clothes was turned out from the warehouse, which could probably meet the needs of a multi-division replenishment. The most is ammunition, it is said that Ma Jiajun's ammunition has never been abundant, with his gameplay in the northwest, the ammunition will not make it so spicy, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Jiang Jieshi poured into them.

The ammunition that was turned out of the warehouse was almost enough for the Red Star Column to use. No matter how you look at this, Ma Hongkui took out the coffin book. Even if they played the Western Expeditionary Army to death, they couldn't get so many supplies.

There are fewer shells, more than 3,000 rounds, but the cannons on the side of the column can't be used at all, they are all made by Jin, Yan Laoxi's golden abacus is the loudest, with his cannons, you have to buy his shells, and you can't find them anywhere else.

There were also many captured on the battlefield, including five Jin mountain cannons and more than 30 mortars. Of course, the most of them are horses, carts, and all sorts of things.

In order to understand the urgent needs of the cavalry army, the Eighth Army Corps sent the 23rd Division and the 5th Cavalry Division, which had ended the war, to chase Xia Xinsheng and his party with supplies.

Xia Xinsheng, who no longer had to worry about food and grass, gathered the troops and scattered the horse materials. Only then did the cavalry corps' mobile superiority be fully brought into play. After just five more days, only a third of the way remains.

Only then did the troops reduce their speed and send a report to the central authorities to inform them of their location, so that the central propaganda offensive could be launched. At the same time, it will allow both the horses and cavalry to recover their strength. Second, wait for the supplies sent by the 23rd Division. The most important thing is for the team to find out what is going on in the blue state. The language is not understood, the customs are different, and the traces have to be hidden. I really can't play with a black eye.

The army marched slowly for two more days, and arrived less than 100 miles outside Lanzhou City, which means that if you ride a horse and gallop wildly, you will reach Lanzhou City in less than a day. The troops had to stop, and there was a risk of exposure if they continued to advance. The rangers spread out twenty miles in disguise, and anyone who could see the whereabouts of the army was controlled.

All commanders and fighters are not allowed to leave the camp without a mission. Radio stations are strictly regulated.

At this time, the 23rd Division finally caught up. The central government also sent out a long-overdue nationwide telecut. Inform the whole country of Ma Jiajun's atrocities in clear code on multiple frequencies. For the first time in history, the Ma Jiajun troops were reprimanded as beast troops. He also warned the men and horses that if the atrocities were not stopped, our army would use any means to return fire. And in principle, do not accept the surrender of anyone from Ma Jiajun.

The last part is still inevitably the cliché call for all forces to stop the civil war and unite with the outside world to save the country.

The whole country was in an uproar, and democratic groups such as the Left Alliance and the Democratic League once again protested against the atrocities of the Ma Jiajun under the Guojun sequence. The reason why I say it again is because Ma Jiajun has always been known for its sparse military discipline. A few years ago, when I was in Henan, I hurt the local people and set off a lot of storms.

Of course, the so-called uproar is still in the so-called elite, and the vast majority of the bitter haha does not have that condition to know, after all, radio and newspapers are not more than 90 percent illiterate people can get information from them. But this is enough, no matter what era, many people play the role of the melon-eating masses, regardless of gender or race.

The central offensive against Ningxia was very successful, and a large area on the south bank of the Yellow River was already under the control of the Red Army. 20,000 Red Army soldiers Wu Zhong, Lingwu, and Yinchuan across the river. The shells all hit Ma Hongkui's mansion.

The Western Expeditionary Army finally called back under Xia Xinsheng's repeated telegram inquiries. After the Xizheng Army entered Qilian Mountain, it went all the way south, but it was a pity that the retreat was hesitant, even if Lin Biao was hard to support, it was inevitable to leave behind the baggage along the way, and there were thousands of people who fell behind because of physical reasons. The road to the southward retreat of the Western Political Army has been paved with flesh and blood. No matter how clever Lin Biao is, the gap between the arms is there, and the Ma family army is overwhelming people with strength, even if he can put out a pocket formation with great effort and hold back the adventurous enemy, he is unable to eat it.

Either the Ma Jiajun directly pierced the bottom of the bag with the strong impact of the cavalry, but caused a lot of confusion, or the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun arrived quickly, so that Lin Biao had to withdraw from the battle with his troops. Knowing that entering the mountains was the only way to teach the rampant Ma Jiajun a lesson, he fought a beautiful ambush in the valley, annihilated the two cavalry regiments of the Ma Jiajun, captured a large number of horses and equipment, and replenished the troops with a lot of food. The arrogance of the four-horse troops was somewhat subdued.

As soon as the Western Expeditionary Force entered Gulang, a few more mountains were Qinghai, and it was Qingma's turn to be in a hurry. Ma Buqing gathered tens of thousands of troops from Laochao again and hurriedly arranged defenses in the south of Qilian Mountain, blocking all routes that the Western Expeditionary Army might enter Qinghai.

Lin Biao, who was temporarily appointed as the acting commander by the central government, discovered the weakness of Ma Jiajun, or Ma Buqing, in time with his superhuman sense of war. constantly made the action of seeking opportunities to enter Qinghai, so that the 200,000 Ma Jiajun were frequently mobilized and exhausted. The most bitter thing is the cavalry, the one who dragged forward and the back with the war horse down the mountain, and the pain of being tossed was unspeakable. (To be continued.) )
