Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 327 The three horses join forces

The wind is roaring, the yellow sand is long, the sunset outside the fortress is tinged with blood red in the dusk, five thousand soldiers stand solemnly, the wind blows the clothes and shirts fluttering, solidifying 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 knelt in front of the tombs. Ma Chaozong no longer had any fierceness. When he got here, he completely understood why.

would have received such a brutal blow.

"Ma Chaozong!" Tang Qiuli shouted softly. Ma Chaozong raised his head. There was a crisp gunshot. A blood hole as thick as a thumb appeared on Ma Chaozong's forehead. He plunged into the yellow sand like a soldier who died in the battle.

Atonement.

The gun in Tang Qiuli's hand fell to the ground quietly, two lines of clear tears fell down his cheeks, and he turned and left. The wind blew his mottled short hair, and his back in the sunset looked lonely, lonely, yet tall and strong.

The culprit has been eliminated, but why is there no relief and excitement in my heart?

Several gunshots were heard from behind, and several remnants of the Ningdong Security Brigade fell in front of the graves of the fallen soldiers.

The commander of the Red Army reconnaissance company met Tang Qiuli. There was anger and questioning in his eyes, why did you shoot the prisoners? You are the army of the Communist Party after all, and you cannot change your brutal nature.

Tang Qiuli glanced at him coldly and said again, don't ask me for your rules. Masters don't keep murderers and scum. There is no so-called kindness and forgiveness in my dictionary.

The Red Army Reconnaissance Company Commander felt a chill in his heart. Although Tang Qiuli didn't say a word, this glance, as cold as a knife, suddenly pressed against his throat, forcefully forcing back the words that came to his lips.

.

This glance made him full of fear towards the young Japanese general. He could not muster any courage in front of him. Of course, there was also a deep-seated hatred for the Japanese. Perhaps, this feeling would be accompanied by

his whole life.

In the battle of Andingbao, more than 4,000 troops of the Ningdong Security Brigade were destroyed, and no one survived. The brigade commander Ma Chaozong and his three regiment commanders were shot to death.

The news was quickly passed to Ma Hongkui's ears by the former Ningdong Security Brigade and other soldiers staying at the station. These soldiers luckily escaped with their lives because when the troops of the *** Division arrived at their station, the soldiers of the Ningdong Security Brigade had already arrived.

They fled in the face of the wind, and the Japanese division occupied an empty military camp with four open doors.

Ma Hongkui was extremely angry, but he was not distressed to death. He was not very sad about Ma Chaozong, his cousin. The key was his family's financial resources. It was not easy to gather enough men and horses for a brigade. He shot several soldiers who had escaped to report the news.

I remember asking in detail what happened.

What puzzled Ma Hongkui was that the Communist Red Army did not attack his Ningdong Security Brigade. Instead, the Central Army took action. Although he had no friendship with Chiang Kai-shek and the emperor was far away, he did not obey discipline very much.

But when it comes to fighting the Red Army, we are on the same team. How can we fall out when we fall out? I, Ma Hongkui, am not a soft persimmon. I am so easy to deal with. Since you made the first move, why don’t you wait to be beaten when you are hungry?

No matter if you are the Central Army or the Red Army, if you have tampered with my food and occupied my territory, I will fight with you. Otherwise, will you still be able to hang out?

Ma Hongkui immediately sent an emergency telegram to Qingma and Ganma, describing the situation and stakes in detail. He compared the Central Army's attack on Andingbao with last year's Red Army's Western Expedition.

Of course Ma and Gan Ma knew the stakes. Ningxia fell into the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, and the Central Army's next targets were Gansu and Qinghai.

But like Ma Hongkui, they had a question that puzzled them. How could the Central Army start fighting against themselves when they left the Red Army alone?

In any case, the Central Army is Chiang Kai-shek's team. There is no point in arguing with him. Just fight. The Northwest has always been the territory of the Ma family brothers. The outsiders will not be beaten to a bloody head or defeated.

Return.

The Red Army was so powerful. Chiang Kai-shek had more than one million troops. He had no choice but to be defeated by the five horses from the northwest who joined forces and completely annihilated them.

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

.

The other two horses, because the battlefield was relatively far away from them, were not too anxious. For the sake of the same clan, surname, and religion, although they did not send troops, they supported a large amount of arms.

In fact, the Five Horsemen in the Northwest have been the local emperors for a long time and cannot tolerate any grievances. As long as they send a telegram to the Nanjing National Government, the truth of the matter will be revealed to the world.

They urgently mobilized their troops and generals, and they didn't even know who their opponent was. Could this battle still be fought?

For a time, the front lines of Dingbian, Yanchi, and Hui'an Fort were filled with clouds of war. The five horses from the northwest once again united to deal with external forces.

Ningma, Ganma and Qingma dispatched a total of 140,000 troops, divided into two directions, and pressed towards the Dingbian direction at the junction of Shaanxi and Ningxia.

Ganma's troops set out from Qingyang, Gansu Province, and included Ganma's 103rd Division, 29th Division, 87th Division, and the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions, totaling more than 46,000 troops.

Qingma's troops set out from Xining in Qinghai, passed through the Zhongwei in Ningxia, and joined the troops in Wuzhong and Ningma. They included the 53rd Qingma Army, the 330th Division, and the first, second, and third cavalry divisions.

Brigade, totaling more than 53,000 troops.

Because he was fighting on the territory of Ningma, Ma Hongkui concentrated all his troops on the Wuzhong front line, including the 39th Army, the 28th Army, the 47th Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 2nd Cavalry Division, totaling 73,000

More than a thousand 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. Among them, the cavalry alone has four divisions and three brigades with more than 50,000 people. This is also the number of the Three Horses.

All the elite troops are the capital they rely on to survive, and they are the ones who look after the homes and homes.

The three horses joined forces to contend with him, Tang Qiuli thought. After all, the five horses from the northwest are masters of group fighting. However, they were shocked by the huge investment. According to the original estimate, the three horses jointly sent troops, and ten

Ten thousand to 120,000 people is already the limit, but I didn't expect there to be so many.

The three horses mobilized their troops frequently, and the information had been learned by Tang Qiuli. He looked at the information and felt dizzy. The total strength of the three horses was three times his own, and the cavalry was more than three times his own. The only advantage he had was

Artillery power.

This battle is a bit difficult to fight. As the saying goes, "The more ants kill the elephant," the three horses are fighting for their lives. The troops of the *** division must arrive before noon tomorrow at the earliest. If the three horses give their all,

The troops were deployed across the board to attack Dingbian overnight. He could only lead Liu Chun's cavalry brigade and Tang Qiuquan's special operations detachment, and his own guard brigade abandoned the city and fled.

This mess was left to Xu Haidong's 25th Red Army. As for whether it was to lead Yan'an to the south of the river, they could not care about justice. The more than 6,000 troops of their own were not drowned in the crowd of three horses.

That night, Dingbian City was tense and restless. The outside of Dingbian City was calm, but inside it was full of tension. Commanders at all levels of the *** division stayed awake all night.

Tang Qiuli sent out the Red Army reconnaissance company, the entire special operations detachment, and part of the guard brigade left behind by General Xu Haidong to monitor the movements of the Three Horse Troops in all directions. He was in the headquarters, waiting anxiously for all parties involved.

news.

What worried him was that Brother Qiuquan personally led the special operations detachment to the front line to investigate the situation of the three horses. He believed in Brother Qiuquan's ability. However, in the face of hundreds of thousands of soldiers confronting each other, any unexpected

All can happen.

News continues to come from the radio that the Sanma troops on the line from Qingyang to Wuzhong currently show no signs of attack. It is just that the troops are mobilized frequently. The Sanma troops have many numbers and are complicated. Our reconnaissance personnel have been mixed into their troops.

Learn more about the situation.

Tang Qiuli called to ask for instructions on whether to grab a tongue and bring it back so that the division commander could understand the situation more easily. Tang Qiuli was shocked. It was in his own interest to maintain a relatively confrontational situation. Sanma didn't know how many troops he had in the Dingbian area.

They did not dare to attack rashly. They grabbed their tongues and stimulated the three horses. If they launched an attack, they would not be able to resist it with the few troops in their hands. Don't act rashly. What they need most now is time. He

Immediately order the reconnaissance troops, and do not disturb the three horses as the highest principle of action.

The long night finally passed, and nothing happened. The troops of the three horses still stayed at the original location. However, after last night's mobilization, the troops of the three horses formed two heavy groups.

In the direction of Qingyang, Gansu, Ganma's troops were the main force, with more than 46,000 troops.

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

Tang Qiuli kept searching for various locations on the map. Zhao Yuhe whispered beside him: "Commander, judging from the troop allocation of the three horses, their intention is to form two attack arrows and use Wu Zhong's Ning

The horses and green horses are the main ones, attacking me from the front, and the ganma attacks my flanks to disperse our forces. After using the superior force to eat up one of my troops, they can concentrate all their forces and force me to fight decisively."

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe approvingly. He admired this young chief of staff very much. Zhao Yuhe could always analyze the other party's intentions in complicated situations and provide him with correct suggestions.

Tang Qiuli couldn't see the intention of the three horses. If the current situation remained unchanged, and the three horses divided into two groups and formed a pincer offensive against him, he would inevitably force himself to divide his troops to fight, which would reduce the number of troops he had to deal with.

, does not have an advantage in that direction.

It will definitely be a brutal fight. Even if you win, it will be a tragic victory. The casualties of the troops will make the *** divisions exhausted. What will they use to deal with the Japanese Japanese in the future?

What's more, the troops of the *** division are now on the road. Tang Qiuli kept sending telegrams to urge Feng Jiwu to speed up the march, but this took time. He could only swallow his saliva wildly, looking at the tens of thousands of troops on the road, and swallowed dryly.

Foaming.

It almost drove Feng Jiwu crazy. He knew that the military situation was urgent, but the road conditions in Shaanxi were really bad. There was no other way. He issued a death order that all units could not reach the location of the division commander before 12 noon today.

The unit's designation was immediately revoked, and the soldiers were randomly assigned to other units.
