Age of Rebirth

Chapter 320

When the First Brigade of the Cavalry of the *** Division arrived at Dingbian County, it caused great panic among the people in the county. The residents were no strangers to the uniform worn by the soldiers of the First Brigade of the Cavalry, which was the most powerful of the White Bandit Army. Central Army.

In the small town of Dingbian County, people were panic-stricken immediately. There were not many pedestrians on the street. The women, invariably, covered their faces with ashes from pots and stoves, the uglier the better.

People with beautiful daughters hid the girl in the cellar, and then put their ears on the crack of the door, listening to the sound of drumming horseshoes outside, and their hearts beating uncontrollably. Let these central troops break into the courtyard.

Residents almost have a question in their minds, did the Red Army escape after being defeated by the Central Army?Dingbian was taken by the Central Army?Why didn't you hear the gunshot? [

The town was filled with an atmosphere of panic, despair, and imminent catastrophe.

As soon as Liu Chun led his troops into the city, he realized that something was wrong. Before it was time to sleep, why was the county so quiet and there were no lights?

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company left behind by General Xu Haidong were responsible for guiding the mission. They were waiting on the cross streets of the small county town when they suddenly found a large number of white army cavalry rushing in. They were shocked and instinctively raised their guns to shoot. The chief hurriedly stopped them, and these Red Army soldiers woke up. What they are doing now is a joint job, and they feel weird, getting mixed up with these white bandits.

Liu Chun dismounted. The Red Army soldiers looked at him with a cold expression. That deep-rooted hatred cannot be eliminated with a simple order, but Liu Chun didn't notice it at all. Equally affectionate and excited, he himself is from this team, and he once wore five red stars on his head.

Liu Chun firmly held the hand of the commander of the Red Army, which was a kind of intimacy from the heart. The commander of the Red Army looked at this major general in amazement. The blue sky and white sun on the cap badge were particularly dazzling. What to do.

Following the guide of the Red Army, Liu Chun saw Tang Qiuli, and he felt that the teacher had a fierceness and murderousness that he did not have before.

Tang Qiuli's first words when he saw Liu Chun were: "Why didn't the security brigade come together?" There was reproach and a little bit of dissatisfaction in his voice.

Liu Chun respectfully explained the reason. The guard brigade needed to deal with some aftermath. In addition, the number of trucks was insufficient, and Zhang Xueliang needed to borrow some temporarily. Therefore, the troops remaining in Xi'an were divided into two parts. The cavalry brigade arrived first, and the guards arrived first. The brigade arrived later, and the head of the Tang detachment and various departments followed the security brigade.

Seeing Liu Chun always standing at attention with a very respectful look, the Red Army officers were a little confused. This is the major general of the Communist Party. His attitude towards this person, so what kind of senior official is this young man in the Communist Party of China?

In the early hours of the morning, the security brigade and the division headquarters also rushed to Dingbian. The residents of Dingbian saw the Japanese troops coming in a steady stream. Boss?

However, I didn't see these Japanese soldiers smashing the door to snatch things, looking for big girls and young wives everywhere, and they didn't harm the common people. The bolder people quietly lay on the crack of the door to spy out the movement.

On the street, groups of soldiers lined up neatly and orderly, there was no noise at all, and no surreptitious looking around. These **** soldiers are different from the previous ones?

After Tang Qiuquan got out of the car, he said hello to Tang Qiuli, and went directly to the two sub-captains to find out the situation. His own detachment suffered the biggest casualties since its establishment. As the detachment leader, he has an inescapable responsibility. An explanation must be given to Tang Qiuli.

Now, Tang Qiuli has a cavalry brigade, a guard brigade, five special operations units, and more than 5000 horses to form the first attack wave, which is enough.

At dawn, the troops set off from Dingbian and headed straight for Anding Fort, where Ma Chaozong's lair of the Ningdong Security Brigade was located. Tang Qiuli wanted to eat the culprit without Ma Chaozong's awareness.

If follow-up troops arrive one after another, a large army of tens of thousands gathers in this small border town that is neither an important military location nor a rich product, even if he is a fool, Ma Chaozong will judge that he has become the target of attack , if he hears the news and flees, he will spend a lot of money in the future.

Not being able to capture the thief alive or kill him on the spot would be one of the great regrets of Tang Qiuli's life. Besides, the old ones will come forward only after hurting the young ones. Therefore, from that point of view, Ma Chaozong is the first to kill the thief. object.

What the goshawk wants to fight the rabbit is to be swift and fierce. Tang Qiuli's tactics doomed Ma Chaozong and his thousands of men.

Anding Fort, a main pass fortress inside the ancient Great Wall in Ming Dynasty, was built in the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. [

Since ancient times, there are two main routes for foreigners from Mobei to enter the Central Plains. One is in the Yanshan Mountains in the northwest of the capital, and the other is Ningxia, which is known as the barrier of the Central Plains. From this, they can enter the Loess Plateau and cross the North China Roof The so-called Taihang Mountains, under the iron hoof, is the formidable North China Plain, the capital city of the rulers of the Central Plains.

Therefore, the passes of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall here are mostly dangerous places, and Anding Fort is more typical of them.

Ma Chaozong returned after being defeated, gathered his subordinates, and there were only 800 people left in the reinforced regiment of more than [-] people. He fled back to his lair in a panic, and he was still in shock. How can there be such a strong fighting power.

Fighting for a day and a night with my own reinforced group, lost the lives of more than [-] brothers, and didn't even break through the ground. This business lost a lot of money.

He didn't dare to report his losses to his uncle Ma Hongkui. The Ningdong Security Brigade was called a brigade, but its actual strength was no more than [-] people.

All of a sudden, he lost one-fifth of his army strength. His uncle knew that he would not be able to spare him. Ningxia is a place with a vast land and few people. Is it easy to scrape together such a fortune?

What's even more wicked is how these city people got together with the red bandits. Xu Haidong, the commander of the red bandit's 25th army, is quite capable of fighting. However, the main force of the red bandits was not stationed in the Yanchi area. , Where did they come from?

Ma Chaozong wanted to hurt his head, but he didn't think of a reason. This is a bold, greedy, lustful, bloodthirsty guy. After suffering such a big loss, he will never be reconciled.

Ma Chaozong's logic is very simple and straightforward. If I suffer a loss, I will have to retaliate. The time is not ripe, so bear with it for now. If I have the opportunity, I will take a bite and get back my principal and interest. I am not Ma Chaozong. character.

Considering the end, Ma Chaozong had an extremely bold idea. According to the normal situation, those people in the city will definitely retreat to Dingbian County, and Dingbian County is not an important defense area for the red bandits. There are not many troops, so it is a good opportunity , What is it called in the Art of War?Take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.

Make up your mind!Ma Chaozong was stimulated by his genius and bold ideas, his heart beat faster and his blood pressure increased. He immediately called a meeting of the three regimental leaders under him to confess his thoughts.

These three regiment leaders are all desperadoes. Before putting on the official clothes, they were all professional horse bandits who would fight the world immediately. After recruiting and becoming a regular army, the days of free and easy are much less. In their words, they almost don't know what it's like to be a woman?

Ma Chaozong's idea just met their wishes. As for making a decision, whether it violated the fundamental interests of the Red Army, caused the Red Army to retaliate, and thus caused a fierce conflict between the Red Army and their boss, Ma Hongkui? It is not within the scope of their consideration.

That's the business of a sleazy literati. I eat this bowl of rice, put on a banquet, and between cups and cups, I will settle the matter of Dingbian, set off in the afternoon, arrive at the city of Dingbian in the evening, and attack the city overnight , Looted Dingbian at dawn.

For this reason, he concentrated all his troops in Fort Anding. Ma Chaozong's ideas coincided with Tang Qiuli's ideas, but the First Division Cavalry Brigade and the Guard Brigade were ahead of him. It's only half a day away.

The summer wind blows the saline-alkali foam all over the place, sticking sticky to the bare skin, which is hot and uncomfortable. The army of the army division marched hard in the yellow sand and saline-alkali land.

The plainclothes of the Red Army's reconnaissance company, under Tang Qiuli's order, lurked near Andingbao last night to monitor all movements of the Ningdong Security Brigade. Li reported an important situation. At about ten o'clock in the morning, two groups of enemies left their camps and concentrated in Andingbao. There were more than 3000 people, all of them cavalry.

Judging from the situation, the enemy seemed to be making some major move. Tang Qiuli was worried that Ma Chaozong had left Andingbao. After getting a definite answer, he relaxed and smiled gently at the plainclothes scout of the Red Army: "Brother, you have worked hard, take a good rest." go!"

The Red Army scouts were taken aback, this lieutenant general of the Communist Party is different from other senior officials of the Communist Party of China, and this army is fundamentally different from the Japanese army they are familiar with, but it is different from our army Very similar, what a strange force.

Anding Fort has no residents, it is a pure barracks, with only two gates in the north and south. Tang Qiuli ordered all the artillery to be concentrated at the south gate, the troops were divided into two parts, and all light and heavy machine guns were concentrated to block the gate.

The order he issued was not to allow a Ma family army to be let go, and they must be wiped out. This is the opportunity Ma Chaozong created for himself. If an enemy escapes in that direction, the commander in this direction will be dismissed on the spot.

The troops deployed on the spot, built fortifications outside the fort, and established firepower points. Although the cavalry brigade and guard brigade were not equipped with a large number of heavy weapons like the other infantry brigades, according to the principle of firepower superiority that Tang Qiuli always emphasized, heavy firepower The quantity of equipment also exceeded that of the Japanese field infantry at that time. [

The movement of thousands of people outside the fort was finally noticed by the sentry on the wall of the fort. With a stern gunshot, the sentry fired to call the police, and a battle began.
