Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 330 Decisive Battle

There was an unbearable silence in the room, and a chill came out of the two horses' hearts almost at the same time. This group of Central Army troops was too cunning. It was completely different from the Central Army troops they had dealt with before.

After reimbursing more than 40,000 brothers, what kind of opponent did you encounter?

Ma Hongkui walked around the room a few times and looked at Ma Buqing. The two men's eyes almost flashed fiercely at the same time. It would be too dangerous to keep this group of Central Army troops in the northwest territory. Sooner or later, they would be a disaster.

.

Revenge for your brothers is the most important thing. If you keep this group of Central Army soldiers around and don't destroy them, you won't be able to sleep peacefully if you don't know when they will attack you again. You have to get rid of the serious troubles at your heart.

The two people had the same idea, and they both understood each other's thoughts. While the Central Army was dressing up, Liang had just fought fiercely, and the losses must have been considerable. He had just won a victory, and carelessness was unavoidable.

Gather all the troops, surround them overnight, and take advantage of the opponent's celebration to bite them hard on the dressing beam. The two brothers' troops of more than 120,000 people can drown these central troops even if each one of them spits.

The two horses gathered their troops overnight, with Ma Hongkui's two cavalry divisions and Ma Buqing's three cavalry brigades, totaling more than 40,000 troops, as the vanguard. Their mission was to entangle the Central Army in the Zhuangliang area and wait for the arrival of follow-up troops.

, wiped out in one fell swoop.

More than 40,000 cavalrymen, led by Ma Hongkui's chief of staff, rushed out of Dingbian County like a gust of wind and rushed towards Zhuoliang.

Ma Hongkui looked at the deserted Dingbian County, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. If it weren't for this empty city, his brothers' troops would not have been eaten by the Central Army. Besides, this was the territory of the Red Army, and he couldn't stand on it.

Stop.

It's really fucking weird. Why the Red Army was willing to abandon this county and let the Central Army easily occupy it. As a result, our brothers in Gansu suffered a big loss. I couldn't get it, and no one could get it.

He ordered that the city be set on fire, burn it! No bricks or tiles were left behind, it was burnt completely. The stones had to be cut three times. Those that could not be burned were blown up with explosives. Dingbian County was completely removed from the map.

.

After receiving the order, Ma Jiajun immediately set fire to the whole city. The ancient Dingbian City, which had existed for hundreds of years, immediately burst into flames and fell into a sea of ​​fire. The raging fire, with ominous black smoke, rose into the sky, reflecting the

Half the sky turned red.

The *** division really stayed at Dressing Liang and had no intention of withdrawing. According to his judgment, Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing, after learning the news that Gan Ma's entire army had been annihilated, had two options. One was to retreat in the face of difficulties.

Evacuate from Dingbian and return to their respective nests.

The second is to retaliate resolutely and rely on its strong military strength to attack with all its strength, and the second is more likely. The division commander’s judgment was unanimously approved by Chief of Staff Feng Jiwu, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, and all senior officers.

They will not stop beating Qingma and Ningma.

According to this plan, Tang Qiuli sent a large number of reconnaissance troops to the various roads leading to Dingbian and Shuiliang, as far as the outer reaches of Dingbian County, to closely monitor the movements of Qingma and Ningma.

Each unit made pre-war preparations in accordance with the principle of two-horse invasion. Three infantry brigades were stationed on the north side of Zhuoliang. Relying on the difficult terrain, they built fortifications on a three-kilometer-wide blocking front and established two lines of defense to establish a stable

of firepower.

The Second Cavalry Brigade of the *** Division, a cavalry brigade directly under the 29th Army, is divided into left and right wings, hidden on both sides of the frontal blocking position, waiting for orders from the headquarters to launch an attack on the infantry of the two horses.

The *** Division Artillery Brigade, based on the different calibers and ranges of various artillery pieces, formed echelon fire strike groups in the order of mortars, Type 92 infantry guns, mountain artillery, and heavy artillery. Each artillery group immediately followed the width of the blocking front.

and length, demarcate the shooting coordinates, and set the elements to ensure that the artillery fire achieves the effect of undifferentiated coverage.

The artillery units of each infantry brigade and cavalry brigade were unified under the command of Liu Chun to strengthen the strike force. All light machine guns were deployed on the first line of defense, and heavy machine guns were deployed on the second line of defense to ensure the firepower of both light and heavy machine guns.

Within hours, shooting was intermittent.

Tang Qiuli had an extremely meticulous firepower attack plan. He knew that Ningma and Qingma still had more than 40,000 cavalry troops. This was an absolutely impactful force and the trump card of the two horses.

To the north of the dressing beam, except for one side of the dressing beam, there is a flat loess and salt-alkali land. There is no danger to defend. It is very conducive for large-scale cavalry to launch a group charge. Our own firepower can be used within thirty minutes before the battle begins.

If you cannot withstand the charge of the opponent's more than 40,000 cavalry, your position may be breached.

Following this, the two horses and more than 80,000 infantrymen will follow this gap, like a wave, to overwhelm their two lines of defense. At that time, the more than 60,000 people of the *** division will really be in a hard fight.

It is not yet known who will win.

After arranging the troops and firepower, Tang Qiuli felt not at all relaxed. This battle must be fought, otherwise, he would not be able to gain a foothold and establish an oil field at the junction of the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.

Then it went down the drain.

Moreover, it is impossible to adopt the method of long-term fighting. Letting the hungry wolves of the Communists in North China come here to fight with the Chinese in their dens. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

Tang Qiuli hoped that the overall situation would be decided in one battle, but he still had some regrets in his heart. If he brought up Shen Jingshan's troops from the Second Artillery Brigade, he would be more certain of victory. After all, Erma's troops were more than twice his own.

, playing the human sea tactic, the soldiers will be exhausted.

Tang Qiuli didn't know that the troops of the Second Artillery Brigade and the Fourth Brigade of the *** Division that he kept talking about were rushing to the northwest battlefield day and night, and at the most critical moment, behind the two cavalry troops

A single blow drained the last drop of blood from the two horses.

After arranging everything, Tang Qiuli felt a lot more relaxed. He very much hoped that the two horses would follow his own ideas and fight the enemy in the area of ​​​​dressing Liang. This was a bet, and his only reliance was to surpass the opponent by nearly a hundred times.

Firepower advantage.

Time does not allow his main force to stay longer in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia area. The lack of troops in the Ping-Tianjin area is his biggest worry, and the Japanese are his only opponents.

Feng Jiwu suddenly shouted loudly, "Commander, look at the direction of Dingbian. It seems that there is a fire?"

Tang Qiuli looked up and saw that although it was hundreds of miles away, the dark red clouds in the northwest sky reflected half of the sky red. Against the backdrop of the night, it looked ferocious and terrifying. He suddenly understood that it must be

Erma did not encounter the main force of the Japanese division, and Ganma suffered a heavy loss. He vented his anger in the empty city.

Tang Qiuli's anger welled up, and he immediately laughed again. Yes, the two horses contributed and saved a lot of demolition costs. Although there was no such thing in those days, according to his plan for the future of Dingbian, he wanted to build it into a city in the future.

An emerging city focused on oil processing.

It is necessary to demolish and deal with the people. It is not a waste of words. There are too many troubles. I will build a new city on this ruins and let all the residents of Dingbian live in the buildings. I can save a lot of money just by using the land.

, Tang Qiuli felt that he had gotten a huge advantage. Sometimes, warlords also unintentionally did some good things for the people without paying.

The dense battle clouds at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia aroused great concern in Yan'an, which was not far from the battlefield. The Sanma and North China Army Divisions gathered more than 200,000 troops on both sides, making the Red Army highly nervous.

The ** Central Committee mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized to the Zhidan, Ansai, and Zichang lines to step up the construction of fortifications to prevent unexpected events and cope with emergencies. After all, the war took place at Dingbian on the Shaanxi-Gansu border. It was the Red Army.

's territory.

If Tang Qiuli wins, everything will be fine. If Tang Qiuli is defeated, will the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Three Horses chase after them and seize the opportunity to occupy the Shaanxi-Gansu base area and seize the leadership? The psychology of the leader is beyond imagination.

, after all, there is a bloody feud between the Red Army and the Five Horses of the Northwest.

A Red Army reinforcement division equipped with weapons and ammunition sent by Tang Qiuli serves as a mobile unit of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, ready to support the division from behind at any time. In the words of the chairman, two evils share the same power.

Whichever is less important, Tang Qiuli has helped us selflessly. He should have helped us at the critical moment, both emotionally and rationally.

Tang Qiuli dressed up Liang and wiped out Gan Ma's troops. Naturally, he couldn't escape the eyes and ears of the police. When the old man heard the news, he laughed loudly and said with a strong Hunan accent: "This baby army commander is not simple.

, regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place

, the way of concentrating superior forces and looking for opportunities to annihilate the three horses is a true biography of Mao. When he abandoned Dingbian County, I could see his plan. Unfortunately, Qingma and Ningma are two idiots! They collided head-on.

If you come in, it will be strange if you don’t suffer a big loss!"

After the chairman finished speaking, he said to Xu Haidong who was standing aside: "Xu Huhu, I heard that you have a good relationship with this number one figure in North China. If it's convenient, I can be a matchmaker and meet him. I have no feelings for this baby army commander."

, very interested.”

When the follow-up troops of the *** Division, an artillery brigade and an infantry brigade, passed near Yan'an, they shocked the *** leaders again. How powerful is this Tang Qiuli?

There are already more than 60,000 troops that have arrived in the northwest, and there are nearly 20,000 follow-up troops. There must be garrison troops in North China. The strength of this person cannot be underestimated. From then on, Tang Qiuli gave the leaders of the Communist Party of China

, left a deep impression.

The actions of Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing's troops all fell into the eyes of the reconnaissance troops of the *** Division who monitored them. All kinds of intelligence were continuously collected into the headquarters, including the actions of the two horses, the marching sequence of the troops, the marching speed, and the deployment of troops.

It was all in Tang Qiuli's heart, and he silently counted the time.

The sky is bright, a rare good weather, with no wind and no dust. The red sun, like a goose egg yolk, hangs on the horizon, which is very attractive.

How could there be such a huge amount of smoke and dust in a windless weather? The smoke and dust billowing from the northwest, like a sandstorm coming from afar, dim and yellow, with an intimidating momentum, pressing forward menacingly from far to near.

.

Immediately, I felt the ground trembling, and a loud roar like rolling thunder clearly reached everyone's ears.
