Chapter 497: The bandits of Zhanlan defend the city

Before the Battle of Lanzhou, Ma Bufang and his son did not have any hope for Hu Zongnan's Central Army, and they also knew that Hu Zongnan, who was far away in the Qinling Mountains, could not come to their rescue

In the northwest region, the second unit of the central military system is the unit led by Liu Ren, deputy director of the Office of the Chief of Military and Political Affairs, and this central army is nominally dispatched by Ma Bufang, a legitimate military and political chief, but it is only nominally dispatched by him, and Ma Bufang also understands that it is very difficult for the military and political chief of the local warlord to command the army of the central military system, and it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

The third army is Ningxia's Ma Jiajun, and Ningxia's Ma Jiajun is also the force with the greatest variables in the Lanzhou Campaign; if the Ningma Army can really come to Lanzhou's aid, the entire campaign plan of the First Field Army will have to be greatly changed, and whether the Northwest Field Army can still start the Lanzhou Campaign as scheduled is still undecided.

However, at this time, Ma Hongkui, the head of the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia, was wavering and wavering under the persuasion of his brother General Fu Zuoyi, coupled with his dislike for the Ma Jiajun in Qinghai and the deep-rooted idea of preserving strength, it was difficult to get the Ningxia Ma Jiajun to come to help.

A few months ago, when Hu Zongnan's Central Army and the People's Liberation Army fought a decisive battle in the Guanzhong and Fumei areas, the Qingma Army was close at hand but had been watching from the wall, resulting in Hu Zongnan's main force being annihilated by the People's Liberation Army.

Sitting back and watching the main force of the Central Army being completely annihilated by the People's Liberation Army but indifferent, what is the use of such a friendly army? The officers of Hu Zongnan's Central Army system hated the Qingma Army, and even if there was no siege and containment of the 18th Corps of the People's Liberation Army, they might not be able to come to the rescue of the Qingma Army.

When fighting in the Pingliang area, Ma Bufang tried his best to come up with a "Pingliang decisive battle plan", which was full of putting the Ningma Army at the forefront and fighting to the death with the People's Liberation Army, while his Qingma Army had to choose the opportunity to pick up the cheap behind, Ma Hongkui, the head of the Ningxia Ma Jiajun, was an old warlord who had slipped to the extreme, and was very dissatisfied with Ma Bufang's father and son when he competed with Ma Bufang for the military and political governor of the northwest and the chairman of the Gansu Provincial Government, and he completely lost confidence in him since Ma Bufang compiled the "Pingliang Battle Plan". At this time, Ma Bufang was in trouble, and wanted Ma Hongkui, an old fox, to give up his life to rescue the Green Horse Army??? Can it be done?

Finally, let's talk about the troops of the Northwest Military and Political Chief's Office, this part of the Central Army was originally set up to monitor and control the army of Erma, and the central government of the Kuomintang built the location of the Northwest Military and Political Chief's Office in Lanzhou for this reason, and the location in Lanzhou can effectively control the local forces in Qinghai and Ningxia.

Later, because of the general trend, the stormy Kuomintang government gave up the position of military and political chief in the northwest to Ma Bufang, the great warlord of Qinghai who had always been ambitious, and co-opted and used Ma Bufang to raise the banner of blue sky and white sun for the Kuomintang in the northwest region.

Ma Bufang, who gained power, was overjoyed, and after getting this appointment, he drove all the troops of the central military system in Lanzhou out of the city, no matter what kind of army commander and division commander you are, they all swept out of the house, and all the green horse army in the entire urban area was replaced by their own green horse army.

With such a messy Hu Gan, how can the people of the Central Military System make up their minds to help Ma Bufang defend the city? Why don't you borrow the hands of the People's Liberation Army to wipe out all these green horse troops, and want them to help Ma Bufang's father and son? There are no doors.

This is the true mentality of several Kuomintang troops on the northwest battlefield at that time, although the total strength of the Kuomintang army in the northwest is not much less than that of the PLA, the weapons and equipment are also good, and the individual combat capability may be stronger than the PLA, but it is difficult to form a joint force, Ma Bufang and his son want to use the strength of the Central Army and the Ningxia Majia Army to encircle and annihilate the PLA under the city of Lanzhou, but it is just a sweet dream of wishful thinking, and the Qingma Army can only defend Lanzhou alone under such a general trend.

However, even so, the Lanzhou campaign was very difficult to fight, Ma Jiyuan shouted to his subordinates in several main defensive positions, our Qingma Army is not the Central Army, nor is it the Ningma Army, it is a hard bone that dares to fight and dare to fight, if you want to capture our Lanzhou City, don't even think about it for ten years, I want to let Peng Dehuai's communist army break the blood under my Lanzhou City.

In the autumn of 1935, when the Central Red Army's Long March entered southern Gansu, the cavalry of the Green Horse Army frantically chased the Red officers and soldiers who had just walked out of the grassland.

Every veteran of the Red Army who walked out of the meadow was a treasure, an elite and backbone of the rest of the battle, and a pillar of the future development of the army, and their large losses were heart-wrenching.

In the winter of 1937, when the temperature was more than 20 degrees below zero, the Green Horse Army went out to disperse the Western Route Army of the Red Fourth Front Army, which was thinly clothed and short of food and ammunition, in the Hexi Corridor, and slaughtered countless people, thousands of beheaded Red Army prisoners alone, and more than 21,800 Red Army soldiers were lost, including the very famous Women's Independent Regiment.

Zeng Rishan, director of the political department of the Red Fifth Army, Dong Zhentang, commander of the Red Fifth Army, Yang Keming, director of the political department, Sun Yuqing, commander of the Red Ninth Army, the youngest army-level cadre in the Red Army at that time, Chen Haisong, political commissar of the Red Ninth Army, Ye Chongben, commander of the 13th Division, Liu Beiji, chief of staff, Dong Junyan, commander of the cavalry division of the headquarters, Qin Xiandao, political commissar and other senior generals of the Red Army died one after another.

In the battle of Gaotai Mountain, the commander of Dong Zhentang and his more than 6,000 soldiers of the Red Fifth Army were all killed, and when Chiang Kai-shek heard the news that Dong Zhentang had died in battle, he had specially sent his head to Nanjing and commended the generals of the Ma Jiajun who had made meritorious contributions to the attack.

At this moment, in the summer and autumn of 1949, near the ancient city of Lanzhou, neither the enemy nor the enemy has any intention of trying to resolve peacefully, ** people can do Ma Hongbin's work, or Ma Hongkui's work, and even Kuomintang generals like Hu Zongnan can consider uprising or surrender, but they don't want to do any ideological work of Qinghai Ma Bufang, they don't think about it, only bloody battle to the end.

On the night of 20 August, under the cover of night, the large units of the 2nd and 19th Corps of the Northwest Field Army covertly engaged the enemy and moved forward little by little, until they reached a position suitable for the troops to attack.

At dawn on the 21st, the sky was just hazy, and the First Field Army launched an attack on the enemy from the east, west, and south on all fronts, and 10,000 artillery pieces rang out in unison, bullets and fires were in the air, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the position for dozens of miles, and the firelight and the morning glow burned together, reflecting the sky and the earth, and the ancient city of Lanzhou experienced the baptism of blood and fire.

In the second half of 49 years, the strength of the artillery of the Northwest Field Army was completely capable of a head-on confrontation with the regular army of the Kuomintang Central Army, and it completely gained the upper hand in the exchange of fire with the artillery of the Qingma Army; after several rounds of rapid artillery fire, the artillery positions set up by the Qingma Army in the city were dumbfounded, and the artillery fire of our army was all thrown into attacking the positions outside the city after the enemy's artillery was silent.

Waves of artillery fire smashed the positions of the Tsing Ma Army outside the city into smoke and flames, and the entire position was blown into a pot of boiling water, stones, shrapnel, and anything that could be destroyed were all lifted into the sky, and the smoke and dust covered the area around the bullet point so that people could only see a few meters away.

But even so, the Green Horse Army, which was holding its position, did not show any panic, but endured it in the caves where they were hiding, waiting for the opportunity and the PLA desperately.

Several artillery groups of the Northwest Field Army prepared for more than half an hour with a large amount of artillery fire for the positions of the Qingma Army outside Lanzhou, and after half an hour, several corps of the Field Army began to carry out a surprise attack on the Qingma Army from their respective assembly areas.

One after another, red flags were raised from the starting position, and the assault team quickly attacked in depth after the artillery fire was extended, and the sudden outbreak of attack filled the front of the position defended by the Tsing Ma Army with the figures of the PLA soldiers.

As soon as the artillery fire was extended, the soldiers of the Green Horse Army, who were hiding in the fortifications, jumped out with a howl and, under the orders of officers of all ranks, opened fire on the commandos of our army.

Bullets rained down like a rainstorm, and the standing permanent fortifications were very effective in resisting artillery fire, although our army's artillery fire was very well prepared, but it was impossible to knock out all the firing points of the Ma Jiajun, and the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun in the fortifications faced the attacking PLA soldiers, first of all, they took a great advantage in terms of geographical advantage.

As soon as the battle broke out, the fighting was extremely fierce, and the covering fire behind the PLA commandos, in order to create a chance for their comrades-in-arms, shot desperately with the weapons in their hands, intending to suppress the enemy's firepower so that the assault troops could quickly rush forward.

Bullets from both sides of the war flew in the air, and every second could pass through a person's body, clothes were torn, hats were lost, and death and sacrifice were instantaneous.

But at this time, people no longer have time to think about what to do if they are injured or sacrificed, and all the qiē is to be able to rush forward.

The first difficulty encountered by the assault team was the large amount of barbed wire in front of the position, most of which had been damaged by the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army and had been blown up, but it was undeniable that even the barbed wire that was blown up brought a lot of trouble to the assault troops.
