Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Looking at the sharp attacking Red Army in front, and hearing the gunshots behind him, Lu Dachang finally could only grit his teeth and say, "Withdraw!"

With Lazikou, he still couldn't resist the Red Army.Next, he wanted to prevent the Red Army from occupying Min County, which was a complete joke.As Lu Dachang fled, the defenders who had no time to escape simply surrendered.

After the battle, He Zhengdao ordered a regiment to continue the pursuit until Min County was captured.As for Lu Dachang, if he can escape from birth, he will be considered lucky.If he is unlucky enough to be captured, he is considered unlucky.

Standing at the place where the battle monument was built by later generations, looking at the vast mountains in the distance, He Zhengdao suddenly felt that the guerrilla zone he had been planning to build seemed to have appeared.

Even if such a battleground for military strategists is handed over to the Central Army and the local army, it is better to hold it in the hands of the Red Army.As long as a guerrilla zone is established here, this important traffic artery is in the hands of the Red Army.

If the Second Red Army and the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army come over in the future, they can also take a good rest here and continue to go north.Most importantly, they don't have to worry about repeating the tough battle of Lazikou again.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao found Zhang Cheng, and after some inquiries and a long talk.It was finally decided here to retain the main column of a battalion and establish a Gannan guerrilla brigade.

Relying on the danger of the terrain here, there are still intact legacy fortifications.He Zhengdao believes that in the future, the local army in Gansu, and the central army that may come over, will pay a heavy price if they want to capture this place.

In contrast, the guerrilla brigade that established a base here has a relatively safe base.Relying on Zhuoni and Diebu counties not far from here, there is no need to worry about food.

As for weapons and ammunition, He Zhengdao directly reserved a main regiment for them.Anyway, in this battle, they captured a lot of money.Even if they left a bunch of equipment behind, they actually made a lot of money by attacking Lazikou this time!

When He Zhengdao led the main force of a division, he successfully attacked Min County.Looking at Lu Dachang who had already been captured, He Zhengdao didn't even have any interest in interrogating him, so he was directly detained and made plans after the Long March was over.

Compared with the former Fan District, He Zhengdao and others who have entered Min County now also feel much more relaxed.Dealing with those Fan people seems somewhat restrained, for fear of accidentally violating the ethnic policy issued by the central government.

But now entering the territory of Min County, most of the people living in the surrounding area are Han people.This is undoubtedly more suitable for He Zhengdao and others.At this moment, the headquarters also entered Longnan City, which was captured by the Third Red Army.

Just when the headquarters felt that it was almost time to breathe a sigh of relief.A telegram was intercepted, but Mao Taizu said with a dignified expression: "It seems that Lao Jiang doesn't want to give us a chance to breathe!"

'yes!Although the local army in Gansu is not strong, the independent column has just wiped out Lu Dachang's [-]th Division.This is a strong main force in Gansu.But Ma's army going south is a great threat to us! '

Ma Jiajun, a local warlord who actually controlled Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places during the Republic of China.Its main characters include Ma Bufang, Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin, who are collectively called "Three Horses in Northwest China" by outsiders.

When the Beiyang government was still the national government, they all recognized the central government, but maintained the governance power over the ruled area.Years of operation have given them extremely powerful military strength in the Northwest.

Now that the independent column has captured Min County, it actually poses a threat to the Hexi Corridor controlled by the Ma Jiajun.In addition, when the Red Army went north, it had to pass through the area under their actual control, so it seemed reasonable to participate in the encirclement and suppression.

Although the Ma family army is powerful in the northwest, Gannan is not their actual control.Originally, the Central Army was wary of them.Many local warlords have also been cultivated in Gansu to suppress the development of the Ma family army.

But now the Red Army is sweeping Gannan, in order to contain the Red Army's soldiers.Chairman Jiang finally ordered to transfer the Ma family army to the south to participate in the encirclement and suppression.Even if he knew that if the Ma family army occupied Gannan, they might not retreat easily.

But compared to Gannan, it fell into the hands of the Red Army.Chairman Jiang felt that it would be more appropriate to hand over to Ma Jiajun for temporary management.At least Ma's army did not dare to blatantly confront the Central Army when it comes to dealing with it.

Most importantly, in Lao Jiang's view, the hatred between Ma Jiajun and the Red Army is getting deeper.It is safer for the Central Army, which cannot manage the Northwest temporarily.It might be a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone by mobilizing the Ma family army to go south.

Looking at the map leading to northern Shaanxi, Mao Taizu thought for a moment and said: "We must speed up! Order the independent column to block the Qinghai Majia Army coming from Xining. Order the Red Army to speed up the attack on the Pingliang area.

In order to prevent Ningxia's Majia army from chasing and intercepting, the passage leading to northern Shaanxi must be in the hands of our army.The Thirty Red Army and the Ninth Red Army served as the left and right flanks of the Third Red Army to ensure the safety of the two wings of the Third Red Army. "

Although the current battle situation is very favorable to the Red Army.The three major armies marched into the cities of Gannan.In addition to successive victories, the capture and expansion of troops is also very good.But such a victory still did not let Mao Taizu relax his vigilance.

The reason is simple. Today's Central Red Army, to put it bluntly, is like the rebellious bandits in ancient times.You are invincible in a downwind battle, but once you encounter a really tough battle, you may be hit hard.

Even some time ago, Mao Taizu strictly ordered the legions to reduce the expansion of the troops.But Taizu Mao was equally clear.For every general in command, he hopes that the more troops he has in hand, the better.

However, once the troops expanded in this way encounter the Majia army, which is mainly composed of cavalry, they will fall into a defeated situation.The consequences can be imagined.Infantry has a natural fear and disadvantage when dealing with cavalry!

After receiving the order forwarded by the headquarters, He Zhengdao looked at the map and said: "Ma Jiajun! I thought that I would have no chance to fight against them this time, but I didn't expect you to jump out on my own initiative. Okay, then I'll have a good fight with you here !"

Look at the current position of the troops.He Zhengdao quickly said: "Order, the independent second, third, and fourth divisions should immediately move closer to Longxi and join the headquarters in Longxi within three days.

In addition, order the divisions to gather more horses and form a cavalry battalion according to the situation.The supplies that were too bulky were discarded directly, and the necessary weapons, ammunition and supplies were brought to Longxi as quickly as possible. "

Following He Zhengdao's telegram, the main force of the three divisions still in Gannan territory soon marched towards Dingxi territory.As for the [-]st Independent Division, somewhat unexpectedly, it rushed up the route of Ma's army heading south.

After Zhang County was captured in World War I, the main force of the Third Division, which was closest to the First Division, joined He Zhengdao and others in Zhang County.As for the second division and the new fourth division, the distance from the main force is also not very far.

Looking at the returning Third Division, He Zhengdao pointed to two places on the map and said, "Next, I will give you one day to take down Longxi City. According to the information we have obtained, the cavalry vanguard of the Ma's Army is only a few miles away from us. Less than three days away.

After taking Longxi, we have taken the initiative on the battlefield. I want to fight this Qinghai Majia army around Longxi and Tongwei.The formation of the column cavalry division depends on the next battle. "

Perhaps because of his appearance, the confrontation between Ma Jiajun and the Red Army seemed much earlier.He Zhengdao feels heavy when he thinks of the Western Expeditionary Force formed in order to open up the ground communication channel with the Soviet Union at the end of the Red Army's Long March in history.

Even in later generations, the failure of the West Route Army's Western Expedition will be a sensitive issue.Most importantly, the cruelty of Ma's army in dealing with the captives of the Red Army in the Western Expedition made He Zhengdao, who came from later generations, unable to treat him kindly.

Gathering four divisions in the column and nearly [-] main forces, they faced off against the three cavalry divisions of the Majia Army from Xining. He Zhengdao felt that he would be a little sorry for his mobilization if he didn't maim the opponent.

After solving the cavalry units of these three divisions, I believe that even if the Ma family's army has many generals, I'm afraid they have to consider how serious the consequences of mixing up the encirclement and suppression will be!Therefore, for the telegram sent by the headquarters, He Zhengdao is the person who is most looking forward to the arrival of Ma Jiajun.

The vanguard troops have arrived at the Majia Army in Yuzhong, and the scene of more than 3 cavalry crossing the border made many local troops feel fearful.This kind of scene of galloping horses makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it!

Although cavalry is not good at attacking cities, in the plains, the results of infantry against cavalry may not be too optimistic.Perhaps in order to show the strength of Ma's army, Ma Bufang sent three cavalry divisions to fight this time.

In doing so, it is also necessary to show obedience to the central government.What's more, I still hope that after the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, with the strength of the three cavalry divisions, it will be able to gain a firm foothold in Longxi, Longnan, Gannan and other places.

As long as the Red Army is defeated, these three areas will be controlled by their own troops.Ma Bufang also believed that Lao Jiang, who was rewarded for meritorious deeds, had to come up with convincing rewards in order for people to cede these three regions.

If Ma Bufang cannot be given the reward he wants, then the areas he occupies will be renamed Ma in the future.While Lao Jiang was plotting against Ma's army, why didn't Ma Bufang hope to expand his territory!

With their own calculations, He Zhengdao, who was stationed in Longxi, personally inspected the area suitable for a decisive battle with the Ma's army.And Tongwei City, another city suitable for cavalry going south, was also successfully captured by the Third Division.

With the independent column, it successfully seized the passageway that threatened the headquarters before the Ma's army.The head office, which also accelerated its transfer, also began to enter the Tianshui area and move on to the next Pingliang area.

When leaving Tianshui, Mao Taizu looked towards Dingxi, and said somewhat worriedly: "Enlai, you said that the independent column, can you stop the Ma's army going south? More than 3 cavalry is not a small number!"

Regarding Mao Taizu's worries, Zhou Enlai thought for a while and said: "Old Mao, we have to trust Xiao He. At present, he has four main divisions in his hands, and the strength has reached nearly [-]. The Ma's army is indeed strong, but the independent column is not weak. .

Most importantly, the independent column rushed ahead of Ma's army and captured Longxi and Tongwei.As long as they are properly prepared, it may not be so easy for the Ma family army to pass through the defense zone of the independent column.He has never lost a battle along the way! "

Just because you haven't lost a battle doesn't mean you'll never be defeated.Mao Taizu naturally knew this truth.It seems that there are nearly [-] troops. If they want to defend the city, I believe that it will not be so easy for the Ma family army to capture the county town guarded by the independent column.

But the current situation is that the independent column must block the cavalry division of the Majia army in the wild.Under such circumstances, is it so easy to stop the Ma Jiajun who come and go like the wind?

When the headquarters was worried about the independent column, He Zhengdao led four division commanders to a plain where the Ma family army had to go south.Looking at the low hillside, He Zhengdao knew very well that on such a hillside, it would be difficult to stop the cavalry of the Ma family army.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao arranged for the main force of a regiment to defend the two counties of Longxi and Tongwei.With sufficient food, weapons and ammunition, He Zhengdao believed that Ma's army would not be able to gain any advantage in attacking the city.

The remaining four divisions were also successively arranged by He Zhengdao to deploy defenses on some important traffic routes.Only this area, which is most suitable for most cavalry, was selected by He Zhengdao as the best blocking battlefield.He wants to fight Ma Jiajun here.

For the first time commanding the troops of four divisions, He Zhengdao was naturally under a lot of pressure.Fortunately, the arrival of Xiao Jinguang and Wang Tianlin made He Zhengdao feel more at ease.There are some omissions in the formation of troops, and this political commissar can also give timely suggestions.

Looking at the final revised battle plan, He Zhengdao also said with great anticipation: "Chief of Staff, issue the order and start preparing! This time, the Ma family army must be beaten. Let them know that participating in the encirclement and suppression of our army will lead to serious consequences." How serious!"

'Yes, Commander! '

I also learned that the independent column has already made plans to block it.The Ma family army who arrived in Dingxi also began to rest and reorganize.This also means that the first collision between Ma Jiajun and the independent column has entered the countdown! (To be continued.)
