Chapter 471

Blazing

In order to be able to arrive at the designated position in time, the interspersed troops of the three battalions marched quickly under the cover of night, walked and walked, kept walking, encountered ditches and ditches, met rivers and crossed rivers, it was dark, and they were not allowed to hit flashlights, and the heavy machine guns and small cannons carried by the soldiers often collided with the trees around them, so the speed of the march could not get up, and the commander who led the team, Wang Laohu, was anxious to burn the fire, and he found Zhang Jinsong and Wei Gang to discuss how to make the troops' marching speed faster. Win Q Coins)

Wei Gang, the battalion commander of the machine gun battalion, was confused and clueless, and his heavy machine gun battalion was the unit with the largest load among all the interspersed troops, and he was also suffering from a headache because of the slow marching speed, and later it was Zhang Jinsong, an old scout, who came up with a way to make the interspersed troops a whole, break the boundaries between battalions and battalions, and select some well-behaved soldiers to set up temporary mutual aid groups to carry out irregular towing on both sides of the road, so that the troops could march faster, and they could also prevent people from falling behind.

The early morning of summer is bright, just after four o'clock in the morning, the eastern sky is gray and white, the sight is better, the drowsiness that disturbs the soldiers seems to run away all of a sudden, the spirit of the troops is much better, the old soldiers who often march understand that this is a kind of mental stimulation to the soldiers when the morning dawns, not how much recovery there is on the body, at this time if you sit down to rest, it will be bad, once you sit down and then want to get up and continue to march is very difficult, so you should take this opportunity to walk as much distance as possible.

Wang Laohu and commanders at all levels kept ordering the troops, not to rest, not to stop, to intensify their efforts to continue to advance, to hurry, and to keep up with those behind.

Just after five o'clock, the interspersed troops of the independent brigade that were marching desperately finally arrived at the designated position under the leadership of Ning Erzi and a squad of scouts, which was also a preset ambush position that had been planned in advance.

There were more than 20 people who came back with Ning Erzi to meet the large army, and the rest stayed here to continue to monitor the enemy's movements, Wang Laohu ordered his subordinate troops not to be afraid of fatigue, and immediately built fortifications, and then came to the front of the reconnaissance platoon with Wei Gang and Zhang Jinsong and others.

The reconnaissance platoon chose a good position to lurk, not only to conceal but also to facilitate observation, and dozens of fighters wore camouflage circles woven from grass and branches.

This is a long and narrow valley terrain, narrow in the middle and wide on both sides, because it is the throat of Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia into the Guanzhong region, so it is named Guguan in ancient times, take one of its husbands to block the pass, and the meaning of ten thousand people is not opened.

In order to block the main force of the Northwest Field Army on the Shaanxi-Gansu border, the two horse coalition forces of Qinghai and Ningxia carried out heavy deployment in this area, hoping to take advantage of the geographical advantage to fight a decisive battle with the PLA in the Pingliang area, but they did not expect that the Ningma Army ran away silently after getting Ma Bufang's "Guanshan Battle Plan", which made Qinghai's Ma Jiajun directly exposed to the attack of the PLA.

In view of the unfavorable situation for the Ma family's army, the generals at all levels of the Qingma Army are also arguing about the question of whether to stay or go, and the commander of the 14th Cavalry Brigade is named Ma Chengxian, who is arrogant and a distant relative of the great warlord Ma Bufang, and is deeply trusted by Ma Bufang because of his bravery.

Ma Chengxian, the commander of the 14th Brigade, is an out-and-out diehard, who advocated a decisive battle with the PLA in this area at the front-line military meeting presided over by the eldest prince Ma Jiyuan, and volunteered to put his 14th Cavalry Brigade at the front, saying that he wanted to touch the forward troops of the PLA, frustrate the spirit of the People's Liberation Army, and let the PLA know what the iron cavalry of the Ma Jiajun is.

Ma Ying, the commander of the Eighth Cavalry Division, who was on an errand with Ma Jiyuan, had a different attitude from him, Ma Ying believed that it was unwise to fight hard with the communist army here at this stage, and that cavalry combat was not suitable for holding at all, since he wanted to inflict losses on the PLA, he had to deal with the communist army in a wide range, first taking advantage of the vast geographical advantages of the northwest and the speed of the cavalry, to drag down the communist army, which was mostly infantry, and then find an opportunity to clean it up.

Seeing that the two were arguing, the eldest prince Ma Jiyuan had no choice but to place the 14th Brigade at the front of Guguan and the 8th Cavalry Division at a slightly later position, which was a compromise solution.

Ma Ying, the commander of the 8th Cavalry Division, was disdainful of Ma Chengxian, the commander of the 14th Brigade, believing that Ma Chengxian was just a brave man who only knew how to charge and had no brains, so he ordered his 8th Cavalry Division not to get too close to the 14th Brigade, and to set up defenses at a distance.

This plan of attacking and retreating is actually a method of fighting as soon as it can be fought and running away if it fails; a major war is imminent, but in the face of the strong pressure of the People's Liberation Army, there is still mutual suspicion and disunity, and the Ma Jiajun in Qinghai, a local unit of the Kuomintang, has not departed from the great tradition of the Kuomintang army.

However, this tradition of mutual suspicion gave the independent brigade another opportunity, and it was precisely because the distance between the enemy's two armies was too distant that Li Yong made the decision to use a strong force to penetrate it, get stuck between the enemy's 14th Cavalry Brigade and the 8th Cavalry Division, and eat a large piece of it.

After about twenty minutes passed, Wang Laohu looked at the position behind him, and with the efforts of the soldiers, the general appearance of various fortifications had been formed, and the trenches, bunkers, concealment departments, ring fortifications, and so on were already in shape.

Soil work is a daily training subject for the independent brigade, so the soldiers get started quickly, and the soldiers also know the importance of fortifications to the upcoming battle, so they all go all out to dig regardless of fatigue.

Six red flares were lifted into the air under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, and a group of three flares were very conspicuous in the gray sky, and the flares hanging high in the sky were not only seen very clearly by the troops at all levels of the independent brigade, but also by the Green Horse Army deployed in this area.

Qingma Army, the brigade headquarters of the 14th Cavalry Brigade, brigade commander Ma Chengxian is leisurely drinking a faint Ma Grandma wine, although the taste is a little sour, but the taste is not bad, this kid is drinking and pondering, what can the communist army be terrible, our Ma Jiajun is not Hu Zongnan and their Central Army's group of wrecks, I think that in the Hexi Corridor back then, didn't tens of thousands of communist troops come over? It's not all for the old commander to clean up with the men and horses, not to mention others, the communist army that died under the knife of someone from my horse is not a hundred, but there are dozens, how about it? I, Ma Chengxian, have not changed from a company commander to a brigade commander.

This guy got up early in the morning, and the orderly soldiers around him were bringing him washing water back and forth, Ma Chengxian stretched his waist, looked at the grass-green camping tent, and then said to himself: "***, this American product is really good, and I will have to ask the old commander for a few more in the future." ”

While this guy was talking, an orderly ran in in a panic, Ma Chengxian's brows immediately furrowed, he couldn't get used to this, he couldn't get used to seeing someone panicking around him, how could a soldier be so timid.

Ma Chengxian hasn't studied for a few years, but he usually likes to listen to the reviews very much, and he also admires the heroes in the reviews very much, and feels that he should be the same as the heroes in the reviews, don't panic when things happen, and before the orderly who ran in could speak, Ma Chengxian went up and gave a big mouth: "You ***, what are you running?" ”

The orderly who ran in was beaten and staggered, then covered his cheeks and shouted: "Brigade - brigade commander, there is - there is a situation." ”

Ma Chengxian: "Early in the morning, the funeral?" What's the situation? The communist army touched it? ”

Orderly: "Brigade commander, I didn't see any communist troops, but—but I saw a signal flare, not too far from us, behind us." ”

Ma Chengxian's big eyes rolled: "Go, go out with me and have a look." ”

When Ma Chengxian and a few guards walked out, there were already many people watching, only to see six red signal flares hanging high in the sky, falling little by little.

Ma Chengxian is a little reckless and impulsive, but it doesn't mean that this guy is confused, Ma Bufang is also principled in employing people, and it is impossible to be the brigade commander of the Qingma Army if he has no ability, and the necessary vigilance is still there, this guy shouted: "Does anyone know where the signal flare came from?" ”

A soldier stood up: "Brigade commander, I saw it, it's probably not too far behind us, it should be in the middle of our brigade and the Eighth Cavalry Division." ”

Ma Chengxian felt that something was wrong, what did it mean to hit a signal flare in the middle of our 14th Brigade and the 8th Cavalry Division? It must not have been done by our troops of the Green Horse Army, and who else could there be if it wasn't for our Green Horse Army? It must be the communist army, hmph, could it be that the communist army's reconnaissance unit came up, when he thought of this, this guy yelled: "Come on, the guard company gathers, sends a platoon over, and searches all the suspicious places for me, and it doesn't matter if I see the communist army's spies." ”

Before Ma Chengxian's words of yelling and screaming landed, he heard bursts of sighing from the sky in the distance, Ma Chengxian was born in the army and has a lot of battlefield experience, and he understood this guy when he listened carefully, yes, it's broken, this is the sound of a cannonball.

Most of the soldiers of the 14th Cavalry Brigade of the Qingma Army had just gotten up, and before they could understand the reason, they were greeted by an overwhelming artillery bombardment, and the dense shells blew up the entire 14th Brigade's garrison position like heavy rain.

Trees, stones, human bodies, weapons, horses, and so on were all within the range of artillery fire, and the whole valley was littered with rubble and flames, and the shells fired by the howitzer battalion of Gao Xiang were mixed with a large number of anti-explosive shells and some incendiary bombs.
