Chapter 234: God Helps!
"Send a signal to the cavalry! The enemy wants to flee, give up luring the enemy, and strangle with all your might! Zhang Xiaoshan said murderously. Anyone in this group can run, but Zhang Xiaoshan, the head of the Ma Qi brothers, has already been booked. It will never be allowed to escape. In addition, he had just received news that the encirclement of the infantry army had been formed, and the next thing was to see if the cavalry troops could entangle the enemy to the death.
The sky in the northwest gradually became gloomy, just like Ma Qi's mood. The moment he gave the order to retreat, he knew that he was defeated again. And this time the defeat was convincing. The cavalry combat effectiveness in the northeast was completely unexpectedly strong. If his Ning Navy had not been damaged and fought with considerable strength, Ma Qi would still have the confidence to fight with the Northeast Cavalry, but he commanded the Ma Family's army, although he spent a lot of effort to integrate, but the invisible factions within him would not be eliminated. No matter how strong his ability is, the army itself has no cohesion, like a huge giant, but it has no soul. How strong can the combat effectiveness be?
"Archon, where are we retreating?" This is a matter of concern to the commanders of all horses. After all, from a security point of view, it is safest to go west to seek refuge in Ma Anliang. But there is one thing that cannot be ignored, in terms of their original affiliation, they are subordinate to Ma Jiajun, vice president and leader Ma Fuxiang. If you go west at this time, there is a suspicion of abandoning the chief. But if you choose to go north, you will feel that the Ningxia region is surrounded by the northeast. The outcome is even more unpredictable.
"No matter where everyone goes, our Anning Army will go north to Yinchuan and swear to follow the old general!" Ma Yin spoke. At the same time, he looked at Ma Qi expectantly, he knew that as long as Ma Qi asked to go north, it was very likely that the forces of Zhuma would follow them north to Yinchuan.
"It's too early to say this, everything will wait for us to highlight the encirclement in the northeast!" Ma Qi frowned. This is definitely not the right time to discuss the route, because if you are not careful, it will cause a split in the horses. Strength is dispersed. At that time, they will not be able to break through the enemy's encirclement.
Whoosh! Three ringing arrows were raised in the rear of the Northeast Security Army. Ma Qi's expression changed greatly, although he did not know the information transmitted by the Northeast Arrow, but the so-called Abnormal must be a demon, from the beginning of the war to the present, the Northeast has not launched the Arrow, and now the Arrow is issued, I am afraid that the enemy has known the intention of Ma Jiajun to break through. Reveal some kind of hole card. The next step is definitely to close the encirclement at all costs and completely block the Ma Jiajun here.
"Damn it! Let's move closer to the big army! Ma Qi saw the red flare that also rose behind him, and his face was extremely gloomy. He already knew that the enemy had a special force that had detoured to their rear, but at that time their main forces were entangled in the northeastern cavalry, and it was difficult to draw up troops to open the passage. Coupled with the fact that it was only the infantry that gathered them, this hilly area is extensive, how many infantry troops can there be in the northeast? To completely enclose the area would inevitably lead to the dispersion of forces, and the scattered infantry would never be able to resist the cavalry breakthrough. Therefore, although Ma Qi was concerned at that time, he did not panic. But now it is different, Ma Jiajun is in a complete disadvantage in a head-to-head confrontation with the Northeast Security Army. Moreover, the Northeast obviously did not exert its full strength, and the infantry army did not know what conspiracy was arranged around. The unknown is the most frightening thing. In addition, now that their back roads are blocked, the combined number of the descendants around them is not a thousand people, even if they are all elites, how can they break out of the encirclement in the northeast. Ma Qi thought about it a little, but decided to join the large army, and rushed out in one fell swoop with the powerful charging power of the cavalry.
Thundered!
There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the air was filled with an indescribable oppression.
Limited by the terrain of this area, although the car is sharp, it cannot send back all its combat effectiveness, and the flexibility of the car is far inferior to that of the war horse, plus Ma Jiajun is more familiar with the terrain of this generation. It has also been dispersed from the original whole into several strands. It's just that the various units have not scattered in a hurry, but have maintained a general and unified direction of progress. This makes the car much less lethal. And because of the task of luring the enemy just now, the cavalry in the northeast distanced a little from the Ma Jiajun. Although this distance is shrinking, it also gives Ma Jiajun a chance to escape.
Zhang Xiaoshan clenched his fists, and because of the force, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.
"The headquarters of the Ma Jiajun is actually nesting there, damn it, if they were discovered earlier, a small detachment should be sent out to take him down." Deputy Political Commissar Liu Jiaqiang said a little depressed. Ma Jiajun's headquarters was not far from the battlefield, and it was even closer than Zhang Xiaoshan's headquarters.
"It's not that simple, Ma Qi does have two brushes, knowing that our northeast is dominated by infantry troops, and I am worried that we are carrying heavy weapons such as mountain artillery, so the location set up by the headquarters is just outside the range of our mountain artillery, and it can also be seen from here that Ma Qi is different from the other commanders of Zhuma." Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head, although he had dreamed of destroying Ning Haijun during this time, this did not prevent him from appreciating Ma Qi's talent. I heard that Ma Qi is only in his forties this year, although compared with the age of the officers of the Northeast Security Army, he belongs to the old generation. But in the early years of the Republic of China, it was a good time to be in the prime of life. If he can capture him alive, Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't mind recommending him to the young marshal. With the means of employing young marshals, capable talents will definitely be reused.
Of course, everything is focused on the situation in the northeast. If Ma Qi didn't have that life, he would have lived until after the war. Zhang Xiaoshan will not have the slightest regret. Ma Qi's ability is only appreciated by Zhang Xiaoshan, and it is not enough for him to solicit at all costs. In addition, the current Northeast Security Army is no longer the time when there was a serious shortage of cadres back then. With the development of military academies becoming more and more formalized, the officers in the public security army are being transferred to study and exchange more and more frequently, and the Northeast public security army is also becoming more and more like a regular army. Moreover, because of the long-term insistence on the system of creating more deputy positions, the officer group of the Northeast Security Army is very large, far exceeding the other warlord units of the same strength. With such a large group of officers, the competition is also very fierce. A large number of outstanding officers have come to the fore, and the quality of the officer corps has become higher and higher. At present, there is no shortage of excellent commanders and outstanding generals in the Northeast, but the ability of middle-level officers is poor, and the top leaders in the Northeast know this. Now the Northeast is trying to make up for this shortcoming. The two systems of training officers, the military academy and the military training corps, have become the driving force for the continued vitality of Northeast China.
"Commander, it's going to rain! Now even God is helping us! Liu Jiaqiang touched the raindrops that fell on his face and said.
A smile also appeared on Zhang Xiaoshan's face. Yes, the mobility of the cavalry in the rain has been greatly reduced, and the combat effectiveness may not even be able to exert half of it, but the infantry will be less affected.
The continental climate of the northwest does not mean that the annual rain is not abundant, and there is only heavy rain in July and August, but it is now September. According to Zhuma's original life experience, once the time passes in September, God will rain a little at most, and the possibility of heavy rain is extremely low. So, when the raindrops fell, Ma Qi was not so worried. Now that their commanders have joined the army, he is glad that his brother is still alive despite his wounds, which is the best gift God has given him. Although Ma Qi is a hero, he has scheming and means. But over the years, the two brothers have supported each other, and the blood and family relationship is extremely strong. If it weren't for the integration of Zhuma's strength and the greatest possible increase in the combat effectiveness of the combined army, Ma Qi would definitely not let Ma Lin be the vanguard. After all, war kills people, and even the most brave people will have to finish playing when they encounter bullets! In several encounters, Ma Lin was lucky to be alive. It was only because of the bleeding from the wound that made his face a little pale.
Ma Qi led the leaders of the horses to join the Ma family's army, and his heart was a lot more stable. Although the Ma Jiajun suffered a lot of losses, the total strength was still more than 8,000 people, and the infantry army did not have 20,000 people to stop such a huge cavalry force. Ma Qi turned around and looked at the enemy who was still approaching, and there was fire in his eyes.
"Big brother, the horses in the Northeast are stronger than ours, and we will have to fight with them sooner or later if we continue like this!" This confrontation completely wiped out Ma Lin's arrogance. The strong combat effectiveness of the Northeast Cavalry, Ma Lin has seen it thoroughly this time. Never feel sorry for the last defeat again.
"Fight is to fight, but not now, we must rush into the encirclement as soon as possible. Otherwise, the rain will be heavy and will affect our combat effectiveness. Although he predicted that there would be no heavy rain at this time, it would be difficult for the cavalry to gallop once the ground was slippery after the light rain had fallen for a long time. Therefore, Ma Qi is desperate to get rid of the fate of being surrounded. As long as he broke out of the encirclement, Ma Jiajun could be broken into pieces, and with his understanding of the terrain, he could easily escape.
Rumbling ...... A lightning bolt that shone with heaven and earth was accompanied by a dull thunderclap. Heaven and earth seemed to be shocked at this moment. And the clouds in the sky seemed to be distorted. The rain starts to get heavy, what starts as a drizzle, turns into a downpour in extreme time.
"How is that possible!" Ma Qi was completely stupid. The ranks of the cavalry also slowed down, and such a large group of cavalry advanced at full speed on a heavy rainy day, which was looking for death. And just when he slowed down, many war horses slipped and fell, and were trampled to death by their companions behind.
"God is unfair!" Ma Qi looked up at the gloomy sky, felt a pain in his chest, his eyes turned black, and he almost fell off his horse.
