Fengxian Jiangshan

"Xiejiabao has been occupied by the Feng army!"

Ma Hongbin was completely stunned by this sentence. He thought that these fortresses could stop Feng Jun's footsteps, but in fact they had no effect at all. A strong fortress was like a fragile egg shell in front of Feng Jun. It breaks with one blow.

In fact, this is not to blame for the Ma family army. Their fortresses are left over from the cold weapon era, and they are all above the ground. This kind of building, even reinforced concrete, cannot withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery. There is no other way to build fortification bunkers below.

Obviously Ma's army did not possess this quality. Rong Zhen commanded Feng's army. After occupying Xiejiabao, the provincial capital was already in sight. The main force of Feng's army did not stop and continued to move south.Bingfeng pointed out that he had already reached the northern suburbs of Ningxia, where Ma Hongkui also built a defense line. Ma Chenglong and Ma Buluan, who were in charge of the defense, had two battalions under them, relying on the dense fortress area, and confronted the Feng army.

Ma Hongbin also knew that there were not enough people, so he mobilized another militia brigade, plus 4000 civilians, making a total of [-] people to deploy defenses on the northern line.

Just as they were waiting in full force, the bombers of the Fengjun came first. This was already the second round of attack. Among the [-] fighters, two were unable to participate in the battle due to mechanical failure. Only ten of the Fengjun were left. Six bombers, but that's enough.

Heavy bombs fell on their heads, smoke and fire shrouded these ancient fortresses, and flames sprang up everywhere devoured every living life.Part of the dilapidated fort collapsed in the explosion, and all the soldiers inside were killed.

Seeing that the defense line was bombed to pieces, these planes returned to the rear airport in arrogance, and Ma Jiajun could only be beaten passively.Everyone huddled inside the fort, not knowing what would happen next.

Of course, there are people who are more miserable than them. Those members of the militia don't even have a chance to enter the fortress.They can only hide in the trenches, waiting to be bombed.A bomb fell nearby. It was a bomb weighing 120 kilograms. It was more powerful than a heavy artillery. In an instant, within 50 meters, it became a no-man's land.

There are only some dark rags and scattered pieces of meat on the edge of the huge crater, which seems to show the tragedy of the explosion, and more than [-] militiamen have all been wiped out.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, this feeling of waiting to die was too unbearable, just after the Fengjun plane left.Dozens of militia soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, so they rushed towards a fortress, and they beat the door of the fortress violently.

"Get out of here, you're fighting like a Han dog. Why are you hiding in a tortoise shell? Let me suffer outside, get out!"

"What are you shouting about!" There was also a sound of cursing from inside the fortress.Several soldiers ran out.They were wearing tattered military uniforms.Wearing a fur hat, with a face full of indifference, he squinted at these militiamen, and sneered: "What are you all doing, and you are worthy of robbing the old men, dare to tell me to go. Believe it or not, you will collapse now! "

The militiamen usually look down on others and do the dirtiest and most tiring work, but they don't get any military pay, so there has been a gap for a long time.At this moment, when their lives were in danger, their dissatisfaction erupted, and they put aside their previous worries and fears.

A militiaman rushed over and shouted loudly: "Kill me if you have the ability. It just so happens that I don't want to live anymore. If the Fengjun doesn't blow me up, you will kill me!"

He jumped up, and one of the soldiers raised his pistol subconsciously, and a bullet was shot out, hitting his chest, a cloud of blood splashed out, and a blood hole the size of a fist appeared in his chest immediately, this The corner of the guy's mouth clicked a few times, his face still full of disbelief, and with a plop, the body fell to the ground.

When someone was killed, the other militiamen immediately exploded. Relying on the large number of people, they pounced on the shooter, punched, kicked, and tore hard. Soon other people joined the battle group.

These people were torn together, dozens of people at first, and then others joined in. The scene became more and more chaotic. I don’t know who fired a shot, and someone fell down. The tools came one after the other, and an unexpected farce of cannibalism was staged.

These militiamen and regular soldiers shouted and fought, and their despair for the future made them extremely crazy. They treated others cruelly, as well as their own people. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were shot and fell to the ground, and dozens more was wounded.

When those peasants saw that the Ma family's army was fighting among themselves, they also knew that something was wrong, and if there was no fight, they would mess up their positions. Is there any chance of winning, so they all took advantage of the chaos and ran for their lives.

At this time, Ma Chenglong and Ma Buluan also rushed over with their subordinates. They saw that these people were red-eyed, and they had no choice but to point their guns at them, and a burst of dense bullets were fired. Thirty or so soldiers fell down, and their heads were finally cleared up, and the fighting stopped.

Ma Chenglong looked at the mess on the ground, and his eyes were red: "Bastard, if you have the ability, you should kill Fengjun. What is the ability to fight with your own people? Are you afraid that Fengjun will not win?"

The more Ma Chenglong spoke, the more angry he became. He rushed to these soldiers, slapped them round and round, and slapped them fiercely, venting the depression in his heart.

At this time, there was a roar in the sky again, reflecting the setting sun, and the bomber of the plane appeared again. This was their last attack of the day, and the plane was full of bombs.

Seeing these planes, Ma Jiajun's men completely lost their courage, Ma Chenglong and Ma Buluan also hurried to the bunker, and the others also hid everywhere.Some militiamen were about to rush into the fortress, and the situation between the two sides instantly became chaotic.

At this time, there were terrible explosions on the position, and the exposed militiamen became the best targets for bombers to attack. His trenches were under intensive care, and explosions sounded from time to time, dozens of people, hundreds of people died.

The heavy loss made these militiamen shaken. Coupled with the conflict just now, some militiamen began to flee. When the bombing ended, Ma Chenglong and Ma Buluan counted the soldiers under them. As a result, 800 people fled. More than 500 people were also killed in the airstrikes.

Before officially fighting against Feng Jun, the combat effectiveness was reduced by one-third.Their hearts also became cold and cold. Ma Chenglong hurriedly reported the situation to Ma Hongbin and asked him to dispatch reinforcements.

Ma Hongbin had just finished discussing with those elders, and they also had distrust of the Ma family army, but they had no better choice, they could only try their best to mobilize loyal believers to help the Ma family army fight.

Ma Hongbin drew 500 people from his subordinates, and transferred more than 1000 fanatical believers to strengthen the defense of the northern line. They built the line of defense overnight.Fully prepared to deal with Fengjun.

"Hurry up, let's all follow!"

Rong Zhen greeted the soldiers, and took advantage of the night to march quickly. The soldiers were very tired after fighting continuously.However, Rong Zhen knew the truth that soldiers were expensive and fast.Every time a fortress was captured, Rong Zhen swept away all the livestock.All for transportation.

Feng Jun did not spare the animals at all.Just beat desperately until he ran to death. On the Yellow River not far away, heavy artillery was quickly following up.

Finally, when the sky was bright, the cavalry battalion of Fengjun's vanguard had reached the outskirts of Ningxia, after a night of marching.All are exhausted.

The battalion commander Yu Xuezhong stood on horseback, looking at the defense situation of Ningxia's provincial capital from a distance. Yu Xuezhong initially served in Yijun, after Yijun was killed by Fengjun.Yu Xuezhong defected to his cousin Zhao Ronghua, who was the brigade commander under Wu Peifu. During the battle with the South, Yu Xuezhong also made contributions and began to emerge.

With the increase of cooperation between Fengjun and Zhijun, Zhang Tinglan proposed to exchange officers. The Zhili holds Baoding Military Academy, which is the cradle of modern Chinese generals. Many well-known big men came from here. Zhang Tinglan naturally wants to bring several.With the rise of Fengjun, the Lecture Hall of the Three Northeastern Provinces also has the potential to become the No.1 school in the country, so Wu Peifu also wants to learn some skills from Fengjun.

Therefore, the two sides hit it off, and Yu Xuezhong was sent to Fengjun as an exchange officer. They first received education in the lecture hall.

Yu Xuezhong finally experienced the power of the lecture hall. The tactical knowledge taught here is all top-notch in the world, such as infantry and artillery coordination, infantry-tank coordination, air-ground coordination, armored assault, air force long-distance transition flight, shuttle bombing And so on, most of them are beyond the imagination of Yu Xuezhong.

Even the tactics that he is more familiar with, such as infantry coordination, are completely different from those used by the Beiyang Army in Fengjun, especially the quality of artillery is very different. Fengjun has even been able to try to guide them from the ground. , the plane bombed.

These things are completely the most advanced concepts in the great powers, and Yu Xuezhong was quickly attracted. The more he understands the strength of Fengjun, the more eager he is to integrate into this high-spirited group.Rong Zhen was still teaching in the martial arts hall at that time, and he also liked Yu Xuezhong's talent.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan was persuaded to let him serve in the front-line army, in fact, it was also to completely retain this general.Yu Xuezhong had already fought many battles, but this was his first time fighting as a Fengjun, so he couldn't help being a little nervous.

Yu Xuezhong knew very well that using cavalry to attack the fortress was a death-seeking action, but he would not just let the Ma family army go. The Ma family army focused their defense on the northern suburbs, and Yu Xuezhong deliberately bypassed their key defense areas. , led the cavalry to detour towards the western suburbs.

When the soldiers guarding here saw the sudden attack of the Feng army, they were all frightened. They stayed in the fortress tightly and did not dare to go out to fight.

Yu Xuezhong commanded his subordinates, passed them back and forth arrogantly, unscrupulously, and then organized several feint attacks. Whenever he was 150 meters away from Ma's army's position, he stopped voluntarily, and the soldiers Keep shooting.

Although the Ma family army has many sharpshooters, their shooting distance is only about 100 meters. If they are farther away, poor rifles cannot guarantee their safety. Therefore, Feng Jun can talk and laugh wantonly, and ignore them at all.

After harassing one side, they turned the other way and continued firing.The people in the city could only hear gunshots all around, shouts of killing everywhere, as if the whole city was besieged, and the soldiers of the Ma's army were also terrified, not knowing when the Feng army would launch an attack.

When Yu Xuezhong circled half a circle and returned to the northern suburbs, a large number of people gathered at the east gate of the Ningxia provincial capital. They dragged their families and all wanted to leave.

When they were bombed by planes, they were about to escape, but Ma Hongbin sent people to stop them and not allow them to leave the city.But Feng Jun came over so quickly, and there was a great siege, many people were unwilling to stay any longer. At the critical moment of life and death, the people in the provincial capital were more open-minded than Pingluo and others.

Except for a few diehards, everyone else wanted to escape, and one or two thousand people all rushed to the edge of the city wall, wanting to escape.But how dare Ma's army open the city, so they can only send a large number of people to disperse these ordinary people.

The soldiers of the Ma family army beat these ordinary people desperately. They cried for their father and mother, and they became a mess.At this moment, the bomber appeared again, and the huge fuselage was majestic under the morning light.

The bombing this time was a perfect combination of paper bombs and bombs. The Fengjun set out a timetable for the attack again, so that the people in the city could escape as soon as possible, otherwise they would be destroyed.

These bombers bombed an area in the east of the city again. Ma's army's grain warehouse was bombed, and the fire engulfed all the grain. Ma Hongbin could only command the troops to fight the fire.

After those ordinary people saw this situation, they became even more panicked, and more people wanted to run away.Of course Ma Hongbin knew that if he let go, running away would be contagious, and the army might collapse, so he was not willing to take this risk.Therefore, he issued a death order, and anyone who dared to escape would be shot on the spot.

He forcibly dispersed the crowd, and the city temporarily restored peace, but there was still an undercurrent, and the trouble did not disappear.

Just when Ma Hongbin was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Rong Zhen finally led the army and appeared outside Ningxia City. It took them a day and a half from Pingluo to here.

In other words, in about one and a half days, the main force of the Ma's army will return to Ningxia, and the time to decide the outcome will be in the next day and a half, to see whether the Feng army takes the provincial capital first or the Ma's army returns first.

Time was running out, and the soldiers didn't care about rest at all. They pulled the cannon over from the Yellow River and entered the preset artillery position. The thick muzzle was aimed at the Ma's army's position.

Twelve 150 [-]mm howitzers lined up, showing the mighty power of the Feng army. Rong Zhen gave an order, and the cannons roared, and the shells hit the Ma's army's position. In the sky, bombers also came to help, and soon Ma's army's position was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, scattered, casualties were heavy, and wailing continued. (To be continued..)
