Early in the morning, a troupe of more than 100 people rushed over to meet the column. Luo Ronghuan, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, will also rush directly to Wuqi Town to meet Xia Xinsheng and others. Xia Xinsheng simply looked at it and didn't talk nonsense, arranged for the troops to protect the personnel of the Art Troupe and the Ministry of Military Industry, and the team quickly rushed to the battlefield.

There are more than 300 miles from Wayaobao to Wuqi Town to be able to enter the battlefield, and a rapid march can be reached in three days, not to mention that the Red Star Column attaches much more importance to the march than other troops, plus the whole army does not have many heavy objects, although the weight of the flying thunder cannon trial-produced by the Ministry of Military Industry adds up to more than three hundred catties, however, Liu Ding spent a lot of thought, including the barrel of the cannon can be divided into two parts, although the cannon has a great impact on the field of vision when firing, and the smoke needs to be dispersed for a while, but the mobility has improved a lot. The required bore pressure is small, and the barrel is naturally very thin, and after being divided into several parts, the maximum weight is only more than 40 catties, and it is not difficult for several soldiers to take turns to carry the march on their backs. A squad of soldiers is completely capable of serving a flying thunder cannon to maneuver in the mountains.

On the contrary, it is more difficult to carry the gasoline barrel, after all, it is too big, and the marching ability on the mountain road is too poor. Even if you use the unique back frame in the mountains, it is still not easy to walk. I don't know whether to be glad or frustrated, but I didn't find a few gasoline barrels in total. It was barely able to keep up with the march of the large army.

After a little more than three days, the whole army arrived near Wuqi Town. This town has a history of thousands of years, and it is said that it was named in honor of Wu Qi, the general of the Qin State. The whole county here is also called Wuqi County, and the reason why the town is more famous than the county is because of the Long March. The town is located in the southeast of the county seat, not far from Gansu.

When the troops arrived, due to the urgency of the war and no time to make repairs, Xia Xinsheng quickly organized a military meeting. After the personnel arrived, Xia Xinsheng directly skipped the greetings and announced the resolution of the Central Committee, with Xia Xinsheng as the commander-in-chief to set up a command headquarters with full authority to command the operation. Luo Ronghuan, who arrived at the front and back, served as the political commissar of the headquarters, Liu Zidan served as the director of the Political Department, General Xu served as the chief of staff, and Chen Geng served as the deputy commander-in-chief.

Under the introduction of the 15th Army Corps, Xia Xinsheng learned that the situation was much more serious than expected. The troops in front were not only the cavalry corps of the Northeast Army, but also Ma Hongkui's 10,000 men also came over. The enemy is several times larger than the 15th Army Corps, but fortunately, due to the limitations of the terrain, only He Zhuguo, a stupid and bold man, came in with the Northeast Army, and the Ma Jiajun cleverly hid behind and did not come in.

Xia Xinsheng looked at the map carefully and said, "There should be some discrepancies in our intelligence, if it is just cavalry, I believe they would not dare to enter so arrogantly." There may be a large army coming from behind. They should just play the front station. Therefore, eating the enemy as soon as possible can avoid subsequent crises. We may have to fight continuously and intensively. ”

Liu Zidan thought for a while and said: "There should be no discrepancy in this judgment, but we are also thinking about how to annihilate this cavalry army as soon as possible. ”

Xia Xinsheng thought for a while, looked at Luo Ronghuan and asked, "Political Commissar Luo, I don't know if you are sure to do a good job in complaining and paying immediately, that is to say, whether you are sure to complete the transformation of prisoners in a short period of time." Forming combat power as quickly as possible? ”

Luo Ronghuan thought for a while and said, "There should be no problem, do you want to?" ”

Xia Xinsheng pointed to the map and said, "Actually, the biggest threat is not this cavalry army, but the Ma family army behind it. All are made up of a single people, and they are very warlike. We do not have a prominent advantage in firepower, and we can only rely on numerical superiority to have the possibility of victory. And to defeat such a large cavalry army, it is inevitable to go down to the flat ground, so I am worried about the enemy on my back. ”

Political Commissar Luo said: "You want to use the thousands of Northeast Army prisoners in your hands? However, I am afraid that there will be problems if they turn their guns to fight the Northeast Army, and if they fight the Ma Jiajun, I am afraid that they will not have enough will to fight. ”

Chen Geng took over and said: "Actually, we don't have to fight hard with the Ma Jiajun, as long as we concentrate our firepower and use a large number of Northeast Army prisoners to strengthen their momentum, they may not dare to come to the rescue, and besides, the life or death of the Northeast Army has little to do with them." ”

Xia Xinsheng tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said: "The 15th Army Corps will now start to lure the Northeast Army inside, and at the same time let the Art Troupe start to sing the tricks, mobilize some people who can sing the Northeast Minor Tune from the captives, teach the comrades of our Art Troupe, and then let the Art Troupe sing to the Northeast Army, this matter will be handed over to Political Commissar Luo, the firepower of our column is better, I think we will divide a regiment to be responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the Ma Jiajun and blocking the task of the Northeast Army's rout." It should be no problem to concentrate the heavy firepower of the whole column for three days. ”

Liu Zidan suggested: "We recommend using a night attack, after all, this will give the enemy much less time to react. The most important thing is that Ma Jiajun's possible support will be much later. It's just that if we move, Ma Jiajun will also come in, will it be made into a pot of raw rice? ”

With the existing strength and firepower of the 15th Army Corps and the Red Star Column, there is no problem at all to fight a cavalry army, but it is a little difficult to add a Ma Jiajun, the morale of the Northeast Army is indeed not very good, but the style of the Ma Jiajun is extremely brave, and in the face of a common crisis, the two armies will inevitably unite together to fight against the Red Army, if the bravery of the Ma Jiajun and the firepower advantage of the Northeast Army are combined, it will be a completely different situation, or the Red Army will pay huge casualties and gain nothing, even more, Wuqi County will completely fall into the hands of the enemy, and if a large army of Guo troops drives over, then Yan'an will be greatly threatened.

Xia Xinsheng stood up and paced slowly around the table, muttering to himself: "Why did the Northeast Army set up a cavalry army that was completely unsuitable for use in Shaanxi? A cavalry costs several times more than the infantry, and if they raise the cavalry of one army, they can fully support the infantry of several armies, and it is not impossible to reach the level of the German armor division of the Zhongyang Army, is Jiang Jieshi really so kind to give Zhang Xueliang so much military expenditure to support the cavalry? ”

Xu Haidong slapped the table and said: "That's meaningless, judging from our several battles with the Northeast Army, their marching speed is not as good as the infantry, and the logistics consumption of people eating horses and chewing is also very huge." It's okay to keep it at home, and it's a complete joke to pull it out to fight in Shaanxi. Could it be that their goal is ......? ”
