No matter how urged by the Chongqing side, this old man only sent one infantry regiment and one cavalry regiment to the west bank of the Kushui River and the county seat of Lingwu in order to cope with the errand. As for the rest of the troops, they can be delayed on the grounds that the new army is being formed. I really couldn't drag it on, so I cried poverty with Chongqing, saying that 2,000 rifles were really not enough to equip an army.

If the army wants to develop combat effectiveness, it will have to allocate at least 5,000 guns from the central government. Ningxia is barren and poor, and there is hardly a stockpile of weapons, and the shortfall is really unable to raise money on its own, so the "central government" is also asked to allocate another batch of weapons and equipment and corresponding ammunition. After the army is fully equipped, it is bound to carry out the "central" orders to the letter.

As for the one who pressed the bottom of the box, he took the opportunity of the Northeast Army being leaderless and falling into chaos after the Xi'an Incident that year. The 1,500 Liao-13 rifles, 500 Czech-made rifles, plus some light and heavy machine guns, which were bought at high prices from the Northeast Army's warehouse in Lanzhou, with opium and gold bars, would not be taken out alive or dead.

It is used to press the bottom of the box and watch the home at the most critical time, not to block the eyes of others. In this adjustment or redeployment, whether it is Chongqing, Qinghai or Ningxia, they can all be said to have their own ghosts, and they have calculated each other to the extreme.

Some methods are okay after one or two uses, but they don't work if they are used too much. Especially for some powerful factions who regard territory and troops as their lifeline, they are more shrewd in calculation than anyone else, and they don't trust anyone. Hypocrisy and grievance, that is a gesture made by people under the roof in order to preserve their strength.

You are calculating them, in order to survive, in order to keep their guns, but also to keep their glory and wealth, why are they not calculating you? Really let them work hard, after seeing the ending of those kinds, these rabbits and fox sad guys can work for you without help, it's already quite good.

Ning Ma is playing a slippery head, although Qingma is strong in combat, even if he is willing to work hard, but only one army is difficult to support alone. What's more, the green horse, who has always been the first rat at both ends, may not be really willing to work hard. The original Central Army was transferred to Guanzhong and Hanzhong. Although the overall situation in the surrounding environment of the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region has not changed, the external military pressure it is under is much smaller on the whole.

But in Longdong, where Qingma is stationed in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, and it can even be said that chickens and dogs smell each other, Yang Zhen is quite worried. The green horse is not a Ning horse, not only a wild horse and a sliding horse, but also a fierce horse. The combat effectiveness and fierce style even surpassed that of some of the Central Army.

Moreover, although this army is nominally an infantry army, in addition to two infantry divisions, it also has four cavalry regiments, and its rapid assault ability is quite strong. If you make a quick assault from the direction of Longdong and catch the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area by surprise, the basket will be bigger.

This army is stationed in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region close at hand, and it also involves a great deal of energy in northern Shaanxi. Either expand the army and increase the burden on northern Shaanxi, which is already overwhelmed. Either the remaining troops will be placed in the southwest direction to deal with this mixed infantry army.

Moreover, although Ningma's combat effectiveness is not enough to fear, if the department also makes trouble, it will inevitably involve a large part of the energy of the left-behind corps. Although his relationship with northern Shaanxi is still good at the moment, who can guarantee that this guy who has always liked to see the wind and steer the rudder, will not take the opportunity to start.

The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region has only one county under its jurisdiction in Ningxia, and the salt in Yanchi County is the most important source of wealth for Ningma in addition to opium. This old man has always been unwilling to lose this important source of wealth. It's just that his military strength is limited, and he doesn't dare to do it easily.

Not daring to do it does not mean that there is no thought. Although this guy did not fight less with the Red Army at the beginning, after the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he released the prisoners of war of the Red Army who had been captured before as soon as possible, and also sent them out of the country as a gift. But once the wind turns, who can guarantee that this guy won't do it?

Although everyone knows that the first shot at this time will be a bad guy. When Qingma arrives in Longdong, he may not really make trouble. Although Ningma is on guard against the Arctic of Shaanxi, it can get along well on the surface. And these two old slippery heads, in the current situation where there is no direct conflict of interest, will not really work hard for Chongqing, but many things are not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

In order to ensure the security of northern Shaanxi, the burden on the troops left behind in northern Shaanxi who have been stationed in a large number of organs should be reduced as much as possible. After consulting the Central Committee, the chairman was persuaded through the president and vice chairman. In addition to a heavy artillery regiment that was originally transferred to northern Shaanxi, it was quickly transferred to Qingyang to concentrate.

Yang Zhen mobilized one brigade of armor and one cavalry brigade from the nearby troops who were resting on the battlefield in northern Shanxi and quickly stationed them in northern Shaanxi. Considering that the brigade had suffered heavy losses in previous battles, only a third of the tank strength remained, and a large number of equipment was in urgent need of refurbishment.

And taking into account the current situation of the terrain in northern Shaanxi and Longdong, Yang Zhen gathered all the American-made M3 light tanks from the northeast and drove directly to northern Shaanxi to complete the brigade. The infantry battalion of this brigade will be expanded into an infantry regiment, and a mountain infantry regiment and an independent heavy mortar battalion of the mountain division will be strengthened.

When the brigade arrived at its deployment position, it was equipped with one battalion of BT seven fast tanks and three battalions of American-made M three light tanks. The brigade belongs to a motorized infantry regiment equipped with 550 American-made Dodge 10-wheeled trucks and 70 medium-sized jeeps. In addition, it was assigned to an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, a 24-gun mountain artillery regiment, and a 107-gun rocket artillery battalion.

Before the departure of the cavalry brigade, it also strengthened a 107th rocket artillery battalion and added two cavalry battalions. The original mounted artillery battalion was expanded into a heavy mortar battalion, the original 12 field artillery battalions were strengthened, six 94-type mountain guns were strengthened, and the artillery battalion of the brigade was expanded into an artillery regiment.

After the capture of northern Shanxi, the area controlled by the Anti-Japanese Union actually bordered northern Shaanxi. Even if the road conditions are relatively bad, these troops, all of whom have been mechanized and motorized, are transferred to northern Shaanxi quite quickly. The time when Qingma was stationed in Longdong was almost the front and back feet.

After the two brigades were transferred to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, the cavalry brigade joined the two regiments of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region and stationed in Huanxian and Yanchi to clamp down on Ningma. The armored brigade reinforced two infantry regiments, as well as the cavalry regiment that was quickly transferred back to northern Shaanxi from Jinsui, and stationed in Zhenyuan and Ningxian to deter Qingma.

At the same time, an airfield was built in Qingyang, and a squadron of light bombers, a squadron of fighters, and a detachment of transport planes were stationed. The speed of response in northern Shaanxi and the speed with which the anti-coalition troops were stationed in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region not only exceeded the expectations of the Eighth War Zone, but also the expectations of the Qinghai king.

It's really a famous person and a shadow. After learning that one brigade of anti-coalition cavalry and one armored brigade were stationed in the Longdong area. The hot-headed king of Qinghai immediately gave an order to his equally ambitious nephew to stay there honestly after arriving in Longdong.

You can make a little bit of a fuss in order to make a difference to Chongqing. However, it is absolutely forbidden to exchange fire with the anti-union that has entered the front line of Longdong, let alone to step across the Puhe River. No matter what orders the Eighth Theater has, it is necessary to consult the Qinghai side at the first time before taking action. and immediately withdrew the Eighth Cavalry Brigade, which had protruded to the line of Pingliang and Jingchuan, to the line of Jingning and Zhangjiachuan.

It also used the pretext that there were insufficient troops and that one army could not contain the anti-coalition tank cluster. Chongqing repeatedly demanded that Chongqing transfer back to the northwest the 1st Provisional Cavalry Division, which was currently fighting in the First Theater and which had already made him very uneasy, so as to increase the strength of his 40th Group Army in Longdong.

However, compared to Qingma's reaction of just being honest and repeatedly asking for the transferred troops to be transferred back. The old man in Ningxia reacted obviously a little too much when a cavalry brigade of the Anti-Japanese Federation was stationed on his flank, and the reaction was even more intense.

Ningma's group of sliding horses, after the cavalry and tank units of the Anti-Japanese Union arrived in the Longdong area, did not take a step. Not only was the whole line shrinking, not to mention the withdrawal of the two regiments that had been dealing with the errands, but a large amount of wealth that had been painstakingly looted was transported to the Dingyuan camp west of the Yellow River.

In order to increase the strength of the defense, at least find a substitute for the dead ghost. He even did not hesitate to condescend to consult with his cousin, who had mastered an army, to withdraw his Eighty-first Army from the Ikzhao League immediately. Anyway, now the Japanese army in front of the back set has been completely solved by the Anti-Japanese Union, and there is no danger at the moment, and it is the most important thing to do to come back to defend Sangzi.

Ningxia is the root of two people, and as long as there is Ningxia, no matter how heavy the losses of the troops in the battle outside, there will still be a place to rest and replenish, and there will also be a place to raise military salaries. If Ningxia's nest is lost, then Ningma's roots will be gone. The troops of two people will not have a second result in the end, except after being annexed by the Central Army.

After the territory was occupied by the Japanese army since the beginning of the war, the troops were exhausted and there was nowhere to replenish, that is, they lost their guns and lost their territory, and the end is not to be said. Even the majestic King of Shanxi back then, isn't life very difficult now?

No matter what grievances there have over the years, everyone comes out of the same grandfather, all surnamed Ma, and they still have tendons attached to broken bones. Now that Ningxia is under such great pressure, the external central army is pressing forward step by step, and northern Shaanxi is now transferred from the northeast to such a hard bone, and he also asks his brother to pull himself in front of his ancestors to help him tide over this difficulty.

In order to let his cousin, he willingly blame himself. He promised that as long as the 81st Army withdrew and was stationed on the line from Lingwu to Assimilation, he would immediately expand the independent 35th Brigade of the 81st Army into a division. The required weapons and equipment and recruits are all handled by the provincial government.

Originally, the 81 st Army was paid 20,000 yuan a month in Ningxia, and the "central government" issued 70 percent of the funds for one division, and the rest of the insufficient part of the military salaries and funds raised by itself was changed to be borne entirely by the Ningxia Provincial Government. The part of Ningxia's arrears will be made up at one time this time, and it is guaranteed that there will never be any more arrears.

The areas east of Zhongwei and south of Lingwu were all turned into the 81st Army Defense Zone. Although these places are not as wealthy as those around Yinchuan, at least the areas around Lingwu are much richer than those around Tonghua and Zhongning. The annual grain output in the surrounding area is enough for the 81st Army.

At the same time, not only did they take out half of the 2,000 rifles that Chongqing had replenished this time, but also handed them over to the 81st Army. He also took out 500 Dianying rifles, 1,000 Jin-made 65-style rifles, and 200 38-style rifles from his own reserves, and replaced all the Shaanxi-made rifles that the 81 st Army was originally equipped with, which were already in tatters.

In order to win over his cousin to gamble on his guns, this cousin has always been very tight about the 81st Army, to which his cousin belongs, and not only never replenishes firearms. Even the 20,000 yuan per month that the "central government" ordered the Ningxia Provincial Government to subsidize can be delayed and relied upon, and basically has not been paid.

He allowed his cousin and his 81st Army to fend for themselves in the poorest place in the entire Ningxia, and even a few decades later, they were the well-known poor areas in the country. When he was ordered to enter Wuyuan and fight near the river, the king of Ningxia, who could not even match his military uniform, could be said to be bleeding profusely. Taking out so much money and equipment at once, even though the distressed heart is about to bleed. But it's better for someone to block the eye-catching than to serve it even in the pot.
