Chapter 1051: Bait
Since Ma Bufang in Qinghai did not agree to one of the conditions of Commander Chen's reorganization, there was only one way to go, to mobilize the troops of the Northwest Military Region and completely wipe out Ma Bufang's troops!
Qinghai is not like Guangdong, Ma Bufang has been operating in Qinghai for many years, has a certain strength foundation, and it can be regarded as a tree with deep roots in Qinghai! And the cavalry troops under him are very strong in combat, and they are on par with the little devils when they fought at the beginning!
Obviously, if only the infantry units of the Northwest Military Region participated in this battle, even if they could win this battle, the casualties would be very huge, and even the price paid might be higher than the price paid by Qingma!
Moreover, although the Northwest Military Region has completed the redressing, the main forces have completed the redressing, and the training of these main forces has not yet kept up, at least not to the extent that Liao Fan is satisfied! If you go to the battlefield blindly like this, you will let the soldiers die!
Although Commander Chen wants to end this battle as soon as possible, considering the situation in the Northwest Military Region, Commander Chen still needs a certain amount of time, at least they only need to defend now, not take the initiative to attack!
When Commander Chen decided to use troops against Qingma, he asked the communications corps to call all the military commanders above the division commander overnight and ask them to come to the headquarters for a combat meeting, including Fu Yisheng of the Seventh Group Army, of course!
They want to take advantage of the fact that the world war is not over to clean up and stabilize the country, only in this way that they can keep the enemy out of the country in the turbulent international situation! The defeat of the Chinese is often not external troubles, but internal worries, and the sooner they end the military campaign against Tsing Ma, the better they can defend against threats from the northwest and due north!
Of course, the armored units of the Seventh Army, which belonged to it, would definitely participate in this battle, and this armored unit was the only armored unit in the Northwest Military District! However, Commander Chen had no intention of mobilizing other troops of the Seventh Group, after all, they were important troops guarding the north and northwest!
But only the armored forces participate in the battle is not good, infantry and tank coordination is the most basic match on the battlefield, only the tank is rampage on the enemy's position, a soldier holding an explosive * bag, as long as you bypass the tank's field of vision and enter the blind spot of the field of vision, the final result of this tank is doomed!
Therefore, Commander Chen needs the troops to urgently train the infantry and tan coordination, and it is not fast to grind the gun in battle! Although their military campaign against Qingma has already begun, they still don't have a basic infantry coordination force, they can only train temporarily!
Of course, in order to ensure the normal training of the troops, they must establish a solid defense line with Qingma, that is, they must not let Qingma invade their defense area at will!
"Machine guns, heavy machine guns, light machine guns and even * are fine, under the cover of the most adequate firepower, the war horse is a pile of cooked meat!"
Commander Chen mobilized all the machine guns in their military region and even took out the heavy machine guns in stock and equipped them to the troops, as long as the ammunition was sufficient, there was no problem in defending the position!
In the area of military conflict between the Qinghai and Gansu armies, the soldiers began to frantically dig trenches and arrange machine gun positions, and they had only one idea, that is, when the war horses had not yet reached their positions, they would use the fire network composed of machine guns to make all the war horses fall!
Of course, Ma Jiajun has been in the northwest for a long time, in addition to luck, there is also strength, Ma Bufang is not an idle person, he knows that the strength of the Northwest Military Region is huge, even if he raises all the strength of the Ma Family Army to raid the Northwest Military Region, the casualties caused are only a fraction of the strength of the Northwest Military Region!
Therefore, after Ma Bufang learned that the Northwest Military Region would take military action against them, what he thought about was not to take the initiative to attack, but to defend! He wants to build Qinghai into an impregnable wall, as long as the troops of the Northwest Military Region are wiped out in Qinghai once, Commander Chen will not dare to attack Qinghai on a large scale, which is to let Ma Bufang have a more firm grasp of Qinghai and lay sufficient conditions!
Also during this period of time, Ma Bufang can also seek foreign aid, although Qinghai is not the country's most border, but after all, the various forces around Qinghai are complicated, especially the instability of the border, so that many things are not what I think!
Although Fu Yisheng's troops recovered the Gobi Desert and oasis in the northwest when they marched westward, the border was not determined after all, and the remnants still wanted to use the strength of others to fight back.
When he was urgently deploying Qinghai, Ma Bufang was also seeking help from other forces, and he also knew that it was impossible to deal with the power of the whole country with his own ability! If Qinghai wants to be independent and self-controlled, only by seeking help to completely defeat the Northwest Military Region will they have a chance and conditions!
Of course, the Soviet Union is the best target, because now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Soviets are strong, and when they were about to be beaten by Germany to the city of Moscow, they used the strength of the whole country to counterattack, and now they are about to hit the territory of Germany!
Moreover, after the relationship between the Soviets and Liao Fan last time was deadlocked, although the two sides have not yet made a big fight, there is already a gap between them, and the Soviets also want to extend their power to the Northwest Gobi and Oasis again!
Under such conditions, the Soviets definitely want to support an object that can cause trouble to Liao Fan, and then they will take the opportunity to attack China again! And Ma Bufang only needs one condition, that is, Qinghai and their Ma family have the final say for generations!
Obviously, the Soviets will definitely not send troops to help them now, but it is still okay to ask the Soviets for weapons and equipment support, as long as they promise a condition they want to help them extend their power back, the Soviets will definitely be willing to help!
Neither Ma Bufang nor Commander Chen launched a large-scale attack, because neither side was well prepared for this war, but for the sake of national interests, even if Commander Chen was not fully prepared, they had to show an attitude!
When they confronted each other, it was also the time when the underground forces began to operate extensively, and only by knowing each other and knowing oneself could they not be defeated in a hundred battles! As long as they understand the opponent's arrangement, they will be able to arrange their troops for specific situations!
As for Liao Fan, of course, he also wants to support Commander Chen with some tanks, but their manufacturing capacity is too limited, and they will definitely not be able to prepare so many tanks in a short period of time, even if there are so many tanks, it is not because there are tanks because of the armored forces, there is a long way to go!
"Brother Fan, this is my battle plan, but it will not be executed until a month later!"
While Liao Fan had not yet left the Northwest Military Region, Commander Chen wrote a simple plan and asked Liao Fan to give him some advice first!
"Are the logistics ready?" One of the things that Liao Fan is most concerned about is logistics, the reason why the magnesium army is strong is that their logistics support capabilities are too strong, it can be said that no country in the world can compare!
"I have arranged special people to keep an eye on the logistics, and there will be no mistakes!"
"Ma Bufang has been entrenched in Qinghai for many years, it is definitely not as simple as we imagined, if you want to get rid of this cancer, you must take a heavy knife, so your combat plan is okay to deal with half of the second-rate troops, but if you want to deal with the elite of the Ma family's army, I am afraid there will be a big problem!"
To deal with cavalry, armored forces are the primary problem, although Commander Chen has made reasonable use of armored forces, but this is just his wishful thinking, that is to say, on the battlefield, the situation is changeable, if Ma Bufang uses other troops to drag their armored troops, use the cavalry speed to avoid their armored forces, and carry out a surprise attack on the infantry units of the Northwest Military Region, what defense do they have?
In the northwest, if the infantry meets the cavalry, the cavalry's war horse is no less than a small tank.
"If you want to wipe out Ma Bufang's troops, you must first defeat their elite cavalry corps, and only in this way is the safest way to march into Qinghai!"
If Ma Bufang's cavalry troops still exist, when their troops go deep into Qinghai, the logistics supply line will inevitably be lengthened, and the cavalry will attack the logistics without any guarantee at a fast speed, which is really the same as a palm! No matter how well the troops without logistics fight on the front line, they will not affect the final defeat!
"Set up a bait for Ma Bufang, this bait should make him look very tempting, so that he can't help it, and then we will lay out around this bait!"
Liao Fan thought about it, the most important thing is to set a trap for Ma Bufang's cavalry troops, as long as they fall into this trap and let their armored troops take the opportunity to attack again, this is the real general against general, car to car!
What Liao Fan is most afraid of is that Ma Bufang uses Tian Ji's horse racing trick to deal with them, uses the most elite troops of the Ma family army to deal with their logistics, and uses second- and third-rate troops to deal with their armored troops!
Only by arranging for the armored troops and the elite cavalry of the Ma Jiajun to meet on the battlefield, they have already won seventy percent of this war, otherwise if they want to completely defeat the Ma Jiajun, they will pay a much higher price!
Commander Chen also gradually understood that on the battlefield, it was not what they could do if they wanted, he could command the troops belonging to the Northwest Military Region, but on the battlefield, Ma Bufang did not listen to his command, and Ma Bufang, as a veteran, must also deal with the strategy! There are really many things that have not been thought out clearly in the combat plan developed by themselves!
If you want to destroy the Ma family army in Qinghai, the first thing is to completely wipe out Ma Bufang's elite cavalry corps!
"Signal soldier, go and give an order, tell the cavalry unit that originally belonged to Ningma to retain its original establishment, and the original commander cannot make any transfers!"
Ma Bufang has a cavalry unit that has endured the battlefield, and their Northwest Military Region also has a cavalry unit that is not weak, that is, the cavalry under Ma Hongkui, although their troops are being reorganized, but the cavalry troops can still be retained!
"Commander Chen, if you use Ma Hongkui's cavalry to deal with Ma Bufang's troops, is it a salary to fight the fire? Will they defect on the battlefield and give us a fatal blow? The chief of staff asked worriedly.
