Chapter 516: Zhan Lanzhou's Disguise

After briefly introducing the situation, Commander Luo took a note to Li Yong: "This is what our comrades who are engaged in intelligence exchanged for their lives, let's take a closer look."

Commander Luo handed over the latest composition of the relevant units of the Qingma Army, of which there were still more than 3,000 people left in the Eighth Cavalry Division after the defeat of Guguan, and Ma Jiyuan transferred another 2,000 people to the Eighth Division, and now the Eighth Cavalry Division is more than 5,000 people, and the division commander Ma Ying has not been punished, although the officers and soldiers of the 14th Brigade who escaped continue to go to Ma Jiyuan Ma Dagongzi to complain, but it has not worked.

According to Ma Jiajun's family law, Ma Ying, the commander of the Eighth Cavalry Division, will be shot if he does this, but the people around Ma Jiyuan persuaded him to kill the general in battle, which is a bad omen.

In this way, Ma Ying, the commander of the Eighth Cavalry Division, not only did not receive any punishment, but also did not move from his original position, and after the Lanzhou Battle began, he even assumed the heavy responsibility of guarding the iron bridge over the Yellow River, and the officers and men of the 14th Brigade who had been in the mouth of the PLA for the rest of their lives had no choice but to swallow their hatred, not only did they have to swallow it, but the reorganized 14th Brigade was also subject to Ma Ying's control.

The 14th Cavalry Brigade was newly formed after Guguan was wiped out by the PLA Independent Brigade, and Ma Jiyuan and his son Ma Bufang were reluctant to give up this so-called iron cavalry unit, and in order to appease the officers and men of the original 14th Cavalry Brigade who were dissatisfied with the Eighth Cavalry Division, they reorganized the 14th Cavalry Brigade after transferring a large number of officers and soldiers from other units.

In the past, the 14th Brigade was a full force of more than 8,000 people, not only had a large number of light and heavy machine guns, but also attached to a field artillery battalion, which was very prominent in the Ma Jiajun system, and the newly formed 14 th Brigade only had more than 4,000 officers and soldiers who had temporarily partnered with each other, and they had not yet run in with each other, and the artillery did not even think about it, even if Ma Bufang and Ma Jiyuan wanted to give it.

As the name suggests, this new first division is a temporary development of the Ma family father and son in order to increase the strength of the Qingma Army, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people, weapons and equipment for ordinary horse rifles and a small number of light and heavy machine guns, no artillery, how combat effectiveness is not known, but, from the point of view of experience, a temporary formation of troops before the war, combat effectiveness is not strong.

Although the three troops are all at the division and brigade level, the total strength is only between 14,000 and 15,000, which is slightly more than the independent brigade, and the person in charge of commanding these three temporary rabble is Ma Ying, the division commander of the Eighth Cavalry Division.

Ma Jiyuan believes that although Ma Ying has one or another problem, he still has a very good set of leading troops to fight, and it is quite appropriate to command such three troops.

After introducing the situation to Li Yong, the commander of the Sixth Army, Luo said: "The head of the headquarters has explained to me, and I will convey the task to you, and you will have the final say on how to fight your brigade, but you must take the iron bridge over the Yellow River within five hours and hold on. ”

This is the first time since the formation of the Independent Brigade that the head of the General Headquarters personally ordered the assignment of tasks to the Independent Brigade and also stipulated that it must be completed within a certain period of time.

According to the intelligence personnel of our army in the city of Lanzhou, after the defensive positions on the periphery of Lanzhou were successively captured by the People's Liberation Army, Ma Jiyuan had a long phone call with his father, Ma Bufang, who was far away in Xining, and after the city wall was blown up, he used the local dialect to discuss with Ma Bufang on the phone, and it was estimated that Ma Jiyuan was very likely to take advantage of the chaos to escape first.

It was on the basis of the above judgment that the field army headquarters made up its mind to seize the iron bridge over the Yellow River, block the retreat of the Qingma Army, and prepare for the westward advance of the army in the later period.

The independent brigade that accepted the order handed over the position it had just fought to the 17th Division of the Sixth Army, and the main force of the brigade gave up the formation of fighting street battles with the Ma Jiajun in the city, and according to the original battle sequence, it rushed in the direction of the Yellow River Iron Bridge.

Li Yong believed that the enemy's total strength in charge of the defense of the Yellow River Iron Bridge was 14,500, although it was slightly more than ours, but there was nothing to be afraid of, and the combat effectiveness of the enemy and our armies was certainly not at the same level, and the independent brigade, which had been tested by more than two years of arduous fighting, was fully capable of crushing the enemy, but the question was how we could defeat the enemy while preserving ourselves to the greatest extent possible, and how we could fight skillfully and never fight hard.

Wang Chengde completely agreed with Li Yong's opinion, and finally after the two of them studied and decided, they would use Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion to meet the enemy in disguise, as long as they could get close, and the independent brigade still retained a large number of Kuomintang military uniforms, and let them make another contribution to the revolution now.

After the order was conveyed, the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong and the soldiers of his reconnaissance battalion were very happy, because the opportunity was rare, who didn't want to take advantage of the defeat of the Ma Jiajun to make more meritorious contributions, and in the future, it would be good to have the capital to show off, although the reconnaissance battalion was not an infantry combat battalion, but they didn't want to always be a third-echelon.

Most of the costumes are kept in the baggage camp, and there are more than 1,000 people in the reconnaissance battalion, and it is too wasteful of time to change them completely, and there is no need for that, so Zhang Jinsong deliberately selected more than 100 fighters and let these more than 100 soldiers fool the enemy.

The most combat-effective unit in the reconnaissance battalion was selected, a platoon led by the reconnaissance hero Ning Erzi, a platoon of such tasks was carried out more, the soldiers happily changed into clothes, and the platoon commander Ning Erzi was discussing the details with the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong.

The result of the discussion between the two was that they pretended to be the 14th Cavalry Brigade that had just been formed, and all the personnel of the 14th Brigade were newly transferred from various units of the Green Horse Army.

Ma Jiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Qingma Army of the Lanzhou Campaign, who had just finished talking on the phone with Lao Tzu, quietly slipped out of the headquarters with a few cronies, and drove towards the Yellow River Iron Bridge with a few jeeps.

Responsible for guarding the bridgehead position of the Yellow River Iron Bridge is a regiment of the Eighth Cavalry Division, the division commander Ma Ying believes that the terrain near the bridge is narrow, and the large army cannot be deployed, it is enough to use a regiment to guard the bridgehead, and the rest of the troops are placed on the other side of the Yellow River on the vast area, such an arrangement can be attacked, retreated can be defended, and can also be reinforced to the guard troops on the bridge at any time, and finally there is an unspoken idea that once the People's Liberation Army breaks through Lanzhou City, he Ma Ying can also escape calmly.

It was already getting dark, and the soldiers looked at the officer in the jeep with a special pass, looked at it with a scrutinizing eye, and let it go.

The soldiers guarding the bridge did not recognize that the person sitting in the car was their commander-in-chief, although it was very suspicious to leave Lanzhou City at this time, but they had a special pass issued by the headquarters, and they had to be released, and the travel of dozens of people was just a small matter, and there was no need to report to the division commander.

Ma Jiyuan wants to run, and there is no way not to run, Lanzhou City is about to break, even if the Qingma Army tries its best, it is just a long time to last, what is the use of a few days of defeat and a few days of defeat later? Once the Yellow River Iron Bridge is blocked by the communist army, it will be too late to run.

Ma Jiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Lanzhou Campaign, left his soldiers and subordinates behind at the last moment and ran quietly, only bringing out a few cronies and more than 40 guards.

Not long after Ma Jiyuan and his group left, another small force came straight to the bridge, and by the dim light, the soldiers guarding the bridge could barely see that this was a small force with more than 100 people.

Suspicious, it is indeed a little suspicious, because although these people who came were wearing ** clothes, this military uniform was still slightly different from Ma Jiajun, and it felt a little strange no matter how you looked at it.

The independent brigade seized the uniforms of the Kuomintang Central Army, and they were all new, which is somewhat different from the Ma Jiajun in the northwest.

When they were about to change their clothes, Li Yong and Zhang Jinsong also thought of this problem, and also wanted to change Ning Erzi and them into a tattered military uniform of the Ma Jiajun, but after checking it, everyone was speechless, not a single prisoner of the independent brigade that broke through the city fortifications was caught, and the dead bodies on the ground were blown to pieces by heavy machine guns and mortars, what decent military uniforms could there be? So I had to put on this better clothes to fool the Ma Jiajun troops guarding the bridge, and the key was to see Ning Erzi's on-the-spot performance.

Walking closer and closer with neat steps, the outline of the iron bridge became clearer and clearer, and Ning Erzi, who was walking in front with the soldiers, looked at the high iron bridge bracket and felt a burst of fire in his heart, the big iron bridge, the big iron bridge, whether they can block all the enemies depends on their table tonight.

It was close, so close that the soldiers could see the rivets on the bridge bracket clearly, and when they were still dozens of meters away from the bridge, a barricade made of thick wooden poles blocked Ning Erzi's way, next to the wooden pole was a machine gun bunker built with sandbags, the muzzle of the black hole pointed forward, and a group of soldiers looked at the squad behind the barricade.

"Stop, which part? Password? ”

It is no wonder that the soldiers guarding the bridge suspect that there are very few people wearing steel helmets in Ma Jiajun's troops, and these people who came not only wore steel helmets, but also carried one-color submachine guns, and the expressions on their faces were very consistent with the Central Army of the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan, and they did not look like Ma Jiajun's troops at all.
