Although the commander of the 81st Army looked down on his sinister and cunning cousin who was too scheming, he was still a family behind closed doors. Don't care about anything else, he has a sentence that is right, Ningxia is everyone's root. If Ningxia is lost, there will be nothing.

So although he was worried, he finally withdrew to Ningxia with his 81st Army and took over the defense of Lingwu. The military headquarters entered Lingwu, the main force of the 35th Division was stationed in Wuzhongbao to return to Hamburg, and the 35th Independent Brigade was expanded and temporarily organized into the 60th Division and stationed in the line from Weizhou to Assimilation.

After the 81st Army was transferred back, his brother made a shield for himself. He immediately used the 81st Army to replace his own troops on the front line from Lingwu to Hui'anbao, not to mention, even his eldest son, who was uneducated and unskilled, and the security forces under his command were all withdrawn to Hexi to operate the so-called contingency rear.

The main force of the 11th Army, which started the army, was all retracted back to the line from Yinchuan to Ningshuo and Jinji. His starting unit, the 168th Division, plus a cavalry brigade, was all transferred to the vicinity of Yinchuan. The Provisional 9th Division was transferred to the Dingyuan Battalion, and the 31st Provisional Division plus a cavalry brigade was transferred to Jinji, and it can be said that his main force was all retracted to the rear.

The 128th Army, which was being organized, did not dare to reorganize in Hedong even if it was organized into Chengdu. Simply drive all to Alxa Banner for rectification, so as not to cause some bad effects on northern Shaanxi. Most of the weapons and ammunition in Yinchuan's reserves, except for some ammunition left behind and handed over to the 81st Army, were also transported to the Dingyuan Battalion.

While retracting all his main forces to the second line, he also continued to secretly send special envoys to Yan'an, repeatedly stating that he would never engage in friction with northern Shaanxi, let alone take the initiative to attack northern Shaanxi, and would never do anything like being in the same room. He has repeatedly said that all matters between the two sides can be discussed with each other.

In fact, this king of Ningxia really overreacted. He didn't do anything wrong, but he was afraid that the ghost would call the door. At this time, as long as he does not take the initiative to provoke trouble, the central government will never take the initiative to provoke him. What's more, compared with his troops whose combat effectiveness is not strong, the central government attaches more importance to Qingma.

A cavalry brigade of the Resistance League was stationed in Yanchi, more to suppress him and warn him not to take the initiative to cause trouble. To be honest, for the two armies of Ningma, even if one army is added, although the equipment is better than that of Qingma. But in terms of the combat effectiveness of his troops, Yang Zhen really didn't take a fancy to it.

Although Ningma is a miscellaneous weapon in terms of weapons and equipment, the equipment of the troops to which the king of Ningxia belongs is indeed much better than that of the Qingma, who has never left the northwest, and it can be said that it is the best among the many powerful factions in the northwest. After all, people have seen the world outside, fought big wars, and because of standing in line, they have also reaped a lot of benefits.

When he followed the Northwest Army into Henan to participate in the Northern Expedition, and before the Central Plains War, he defected to the "center". In order to win over the miscellaneous units in this Northwest Army, and to set an example for those large and small miscellaneous units that divide and form the Northwest Army. The "Central Committee" was still very generous to this division commander of the Northwest Army at that time.

Not only was he about to expand one of his divisions into an army, but he also allocated 300,000 silver dollars on the spot, plus 1,000 new guns and dozens of heavy machine guns, all of which were new guns manufactured by the Hanyang Arsenal. The hand of the "center" also created an immediate effect.

During the Central Plains War, a considerable number of small miscellaneous armed forces that were originally attached to the Northwest Army threw themselves into the "central government" one after another, which directly affected the battlefield situation of the Northwest Army in the Central Plains War. And even to a certain extent, accelerated the general collapse of the North-Western Army. And this brother who stood on the right team made a windfall in the Central Plains War.

In the first battle of Tai'an in the Central Plains, his troops captured more than 200 Jin-made submachine guns in the hands of the Jin Sui army. When pursuing and defeating the retreating Jin Sui army, a large number of Jin-made 65 rifles and Jin-made submachine guns were captured, as well as dozens of Jin-made mountain artillery and mortars. And from the hands of the surrounding friendly Central Army, a large number of friendly weapons were secretly purchased, especially ammunition, which were not looked down on by the Jin.

Although it was immediately reduced to a division after the war, and because of the stalemate with the "central government", part of its own starting troops was thrown in Henan. However, the good weapons in the army and the elite in the army had already been secretly packed and transported back by him through Suiyuan, and its strength had not suffered much loss at all.

In addition, after returning to the northwest, in order to protect himself, he colluded with the king of Shanxi and purchased a large number of weapons and ammunition from the Taiyuan Arsenal with the opium produced in Ningxia as a means of payment. and after the Xi'an Incident, they took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters from the Northeast Army in various warehouses in the northwest, and obtained a lot of inventory.

The "central government" does not trust these miscellaneous cards, although it is used, it is more important to guard against them. And he is just as distrustful of the "center". After returning to Ningxia, he used the opium produced in Ningxia to try his best to buy another batch of weapons. By the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and all outsourcing channels were blocked, he had already hoarded enough capital in his hands.

Even if Chongqing didn't reissue him with a single shot or bullet, the weapons in his inventory would be enough to form two armies. His starting unit, the 11th Army, all had Hanyang-made rifles, Jin-made rifles, and Jin-made submachine guns, and the platoon was equipped with light machine guns, the battalion had heavy machine guns, and the regiment had mortars.

The number of heavy machine guns in one division of this army almost exceeded the number of all heavy machine guns in the entire Tsing Ma 82nd Army. The scale and quantity of the mountain artillery directly under the army are almost more than double that of all the artillery of the two armies combined, and the quality of the artillery is also better than that of Qingma.

His core specialized units are also the three special service battalions that take care of his home and nursing home, as well as the two special service groups under the Ningxia Provincial Government. Except for one regiment equipped with Soviet-made rifles and heavy machine guns obtained from the Northwest Army, the rest of the troops all collected Gongzao infantry machine guns and Gongzao Burgman submachine guns from the Northwest Army that year. All the officers were armed with Gongzao and Jinzao barge guns.

In the battle of the four horses to reject the grandson, although the benefits were all snatched away by the green horses, and he ended up sitting on the mountain, the foundation of the king of Ningxia was still very strong. Even his security forces are equipped with all Gongzao 79 rifles and Soviet-style Makqin heavy machine guns.

It's just that the "central" stuck neck is too powerful, and it has always been strictly controlled in the number. And Ningxia is too poor to feed too many troops. Therefore, his core army has only one 11th Army, plus the newly formed 128th Army, there are only two armies. However, although there are only two armies in the army, the more weapons and equipment the better.

It's just that although Ningma's equipment is far better than that of Qingma, who has never been out of the northwest. However, its combat effectiveness is quite inferior to that of Qingma. Moreover, the central government also believed that Ningma still had the possibility of fighting, so it only put some pressure on him and warned him not to try to fish in troubled waters.

The combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Qingma, and there is still the possibility of fighting. Therefore, whether it is the central government or Yang Zhen, they do not take the possible threat of Ningma too seriously. The focus of the defense adjustment is still aimed at the Qingma who entered Longdong. Even if the cavalry brigade is stationed in Huanxian, it is mainly aimed at the green horses.

In order to avoid the transfer of troops from the United Nations, unauthorized actions have caused some undeserved contradictions. Before the cavalry brigade and armored brigade were transferred to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, Yang Zhen personally rushed to Jining in his busy schedule before going to Yan'an for a meeting, and talked to the brigade commander, the political commissar, and cadres at and above the regimental level.

They were clearly told that when they arrived in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, everything would obey the command of the left-behind corps. The central authorities should resolve the issues of negotiations with the ministries of the Kuomintang Autonomous Region. But once someone dares to attack northern Shaanxi at this time, they will destroy them at all costs. In a word, it is the words: "If the enemy does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if the enemy offends me, I will kill him even with the pot." Yang Zhen should have said this famous sentence to the chairman, but it showed his determination even more.

However, in terms of combat command, it is necessary to obey the orders of the central authorities and the left-behind corps, and it is not allowed to make decisions without orders, let alone take the initiative to cause trouble. If anyone does not obey the leadership and command of the Central Military Commission and the left-behind corps, no matter who is involved and how high his position is, he will be dismissed from his post on the spot.

In other words, as long as this guy doesn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, he won't have anything at all, and I really don't know what he's afraid of. Maybe I think too much of my own land, which is barren and poor, and the area is not large, let alone rich in products. Although Ningxia is very poor, it is also home after all.

No territory, which means that there is no gun, and no gun means that he can't even be a grass king. Not only did the elite of the Anti-Union come out of the salt pool, making the king of Ningxia feel dangerous at the same time. After the Central Army was stationed at the junction of Gansu and Ningxia, he was even more pressured, and Yang Zhen only mobilized an armored brigade and a cavalry brigade to enter the Qingyang area of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region. Just mixed all the ideas of Chongqing, not to mention. The next two horses' slippery moves also made the highest authority in Chongqing really angry.

was robbed by Yang Zhen, and Ning Ma didn't even have the mind to deal with it. Although the transfer back of an army is ostensibly to increase the number of troops deployed in the western part of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, in fact, the mind is more about taking care of one's own home and nursing home, and at the same time to plug the mouth of the central army.

Not only did Qingma send an army that didn't even have many available guns, but the first thing it did after the Anti-Japanese Federation arrived in Longdong was to shrink its troops. It turned out that the cowhide blew with an earth-shattering sound, but now it is a shrunken turtle. In addition to having to "centralize" and replenish equipment all day long, it is basically not a step out of the east bank of the Pu River.

After such an overall situation that appeared at the moment made the supreme authority want to use Qingma, Ningma and northern Shaanxi to kill each other, his idea of coming out to clean up the mess was completely frustrated. At present, his deployment in the northwest has become not only an attack on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, but also a way to prevent the anti-union armored and cavalry units entering northern Shaanxi from grabbing territory in the next step.

And the one who overreacted was definitely not Ningma alone. After the troops sent by Yang Zhen entered Longdong, the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, who was respected by the highest authorities in Chongqing behind him and was known as the first protégé of the Son of Heaven, also immediately changed his original deployment.

With the elite troops of the two group armies in his hands, he did not mobilize his own forces to deploy to the periphery of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, but continued to use his brains on Erma. It's still the idea of letting Erma charge for him, or resist the pressure of northern Shaanxi. The units of the Central Army under his own are still placed in the rear.

Not only did it report to the Military Commission, but all the cavalry divisions of Qingma that were currently in the First War Zone were transferred back to Longdong. He will also use his position as deputy commander of the Eighth Theater to forcibly transfer the Fifth Army of the Qingma System Cavalry, which belongs to the operational sequence of the Eighth Theater, to the Longdong Battlefield. He also made an exception to replenish another batch of equipment to Qingma, and replenished the newly organized 129th Army into a fully equipped army.

However, this guy's move and generosity are not out of good intentions. But he still didn't have the idea of letting the miscellaneous cards plug the gun hole for him, and he was tied to supervising the battle in the rear. If Chongqing orders an all-out attack on Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningning, let Qingma and Ningma take the lead for him.

Once northern Shaanxi launched an attack on Longdong at this time, the two armies of Qingma first consumed the strength of the Anti-Japanese Federation and delayed the offensive of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and then his central army came forward to clean up the mess. After this battle, no matter who wins or loses between Erma and Northern Shaanxi, he will reap the benefits.
