Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Boom!" A large number of cavalry were running wildly on the simple road on the grassland. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a black line, rapidly extending to the south.  These cavalrymen were the Qingma Army who set out from Maqin and were preparing to go south to rescue Yushu.

    "Let brothers work harder and try to get to Yushu tomorrow!" Gu Hongqiang rode on his horse and ordered to the troops who were marching at high speed.  Starting from Maqin, he asked the troops to march at the highest speed. Although everyone was very tired, the battle in Yushu was so fierce that they could not delay for a moment!  Everyone understood Gu Hongqiang's eagerness very well.

    "Brother Gu, there is Yiniu Valley ahead. The terrain is dangerous. We have to be careful! If the Western Sichuan Army sets up an ambush here, we will be in trouble!" Lu Yuanqing, the commander of the ninth battalion of the Qingma Army, was a little worried.  reminded.

    "Lao Lu, you are thinking too much. We came here immediately after getting the news. It has only been a day or two. How could the Western Sichuan Army capture Yushu and rush here to set up an ambush? There are five thousand people in Yushu, who can resist this  There will always be no problem for the Western Sichuan Army in a day or two. By then, when the Western Sichuan Army and the Yushu garrison are exhausted from fighting, we can attack from behind and defeat them in one fell swoop. When the time comes, we will all take credit together.  You know, I, Gu Hongqiang, am not a solitary eater!" Gu Hongqiang said, patting his chest.

    "Brother Gu, it's better to be careful. How about we send some troops to check first and make sure there is no danger for us to pass?" Lu Yuanqing said cautiously.

    "Don't you need to go to such trouble? If you waste more time, there will be more dangers on the Yushu side. It's better for us to pass at full speed. The bison ditch is only three kilometers long. At our speed, we can pass it in five minutes at most. It's completely  There is no need to worry!" Gu Hongqiang said stubbornly.  On the one hand, he believed in his own judgment and believed that it was impossible for the Western Sichuan Army to defeat the Yushu defenders in such a short period of time and rush to Yiniugou to set up an ambush.  In addition, the military situation was urgent and he needed to get to Yushu as quickly as possible. If there was anything wrong with Gu Hongtao, he would not be able to explain it to Gu Hongyun!  For these reasons, Gu Hongqiang led six battalions of the Qingma Army into the abyss of death.

    Seeing how insistent Gu Hongqiang was, Lu Yuanqing had no choice but to stop persuading him. However, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.  "God bless! There must be no ambush? Otherwise it will be completely over!" Lu Yuanqing prayed secretly.

    The cavalry of the Qingma Army was very fast and arrived at the Buffalo Valley before three o'clock in the afternoon.  Then, in the surprised eyes of the Western Sichuan troops, they entered the bison ditch directly.

    "Here, what's going on? Aren't they afraid of us ambushing here? Why don't they send someone to investigate first?" This question appeared in the minds of many soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army.

    However, soon they ran out of time to think about this problem.  After all the rear troops of the Qingma Army entered the Buffalo Valley, the soldiers at the front were about to rush out.

    "Bang" a crisp gunshot sounded in the canyon of Bison Valley, and then the crisp gunshots and shelling sounds continued continuously.  Those Qingma soldiers who were about to rush out of the Buffalo Valley were immediately knocked to the ground by the dense bullets.  In the mountain forests on both sides of the canyon exit, four heavy machine guns were spitting out long fire snakes. The crossfire formed completely blocked the place.  All the soldiers of the Qingma Army who tried to rush out of the Buffalo Valley from here were beaten into a sieve.

    The artillery position halfway up the mountain also became busy. Twenty-four Type 82 infantry cannons let out a thundering roar, and the blazing shells were smashed into the panicked Green Horse Army. Shrapnel flew across, taking away a soldier.  life.

    "It's over! There is really an ambush!" The moment the gunfire rang out, Gu Hongqiang's expression changed drastically.  He didn't expect that the Western Sichuan Army had actually arrived here and set up an ambush, waiting for him to infiltrate inside!

    "Brother Gu, don't be stunned. Make up your mind quickly on what to do? The firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is too fierce. If we delay any longer, all our brothers will be dead!" Lu Yuanqing urged.

    Six thousand Green Horse Army soldiers were all blocked in the canyon of Yiniu Valley. The frightened horses were scurrying around. The Green Horse Army soldiers on horseback fell down and were trampled to pieces, causing heavy casualties.  The rest of the Qingma Army soldiers threw themselves on the ground or behind rocks and fought back in the woods on the mountain wall.  However, in panic, they had no accuracy at all and were unable to pose any threat to the Western Sichuan Army.

    "Hurry up and organize a retreat and exit Yiniu Valley. If we stay here any longer, we will all be killed by the Western Sichuan Army sooner or later!" Seeing the Qingma Army suffering heavy casualties in the face of the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army, Gu Hongtao's face was filled with anger.  It was all his stubbornness that caused the current tragedy. If he had listened to Lu Yuanqing and sent someone to investigate first, he would not be in this situation now.

    ¡°?Don't go out!  The Western Sichuan Army deployed heavy troops and powerful firepower in the back. The entire Bison Valley has been blocked, and we can't rush out at all!  "Lu Yuanqing observed the situation in the valley and then said.

    "Then what should we do?" Gu Hongqiang shouted desperately.

    "For the current plan, we either rush forward desperately and try to get out. Or we have to surrender!" Lu Yuanqing said with a sad expression.  Today, I fell into the ambush of the Western Sichuan Army. Naturally, I had a narrow escape.

    "I would rather die than surrender like these Western Sichuan troops!" Gu Hongqiang said through gritted teeth.  If the Western Sichuan Army was able to rush to Yiniugou and set up an ambush, it would be obvious that Yushu City had fallen, and Gu Hongtao was probably in danger.

    "Organize the troops and prepare to rush out!" Gu Hongqiang ordered.

    Under his order, the remaining soldiers of the Qingma Army mounted their horses again and launched an attack outside the Buffalo Valley.  Although they lay low, they still suffered heavy casualties under the intensive firepower of the Western Sichuan Army.  This was not a battle of the same level at all. The Qingma Army, which lacked heavy firepower, was completely passive and vulnerable after entering the encirclement of the Western Sichuan Army.  Perhaps, this can no longer be described as a battle, it is simply a one-sided massacre.

    "Brothers, we have been surrounded. There is only a dead end if we stay here. Everyone, rush out with me. Rush!" Gu Hongqiang rode on his horse and roared loudly.  However, he found that there were only a handful of two to three hundred people in the Qingma Army who were willing to rush out with him.  These were soldiers from his seventh battalion.  The rest of the Qingma Army, except for those who died in the battle, were lying on the ground or behind the bunker, and did not respond to him. Even his friend Lu Yuanqing did the same.  Obviously, in their opinion, rushing out at this time is a complete way to die.

    Gu Hongqiang smiled miserably. It was entirely his responsibility to enter the ambush circle of the Western Sichuan Army this time.  But now, those soldiers have abandoned him.  Even his friends were like this, which made Gu Hongqiang feel even more desperate and betrayed.

    In this way, Gu Hongqiang launched an attack with those loyal to him.  They were now less than a kilometer away from the exit of Bison Valley.  However, they have never been able to overcome this section of the road.

    The firepower of the Western Sichuan Army was very fierce. After the Qingma Army entered the ambush circle, all the light and heavy weapons belonging to the 10th Brigade opened fire, and the entire valley suddenly seemed to have turned into hell.  Hot bullets were flying around, shrapnel was flying, and soldiers of the Qing Ma Army were constantly being hit and killed!

    Despair and panic spread in the valley. Under the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army, the morale of the Qingma Army dropped rapidly and was almost on the verge of collapse.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" The low roar of the heavy machine gun echoed in the valley.  Gu Hongqiang and his confidants leaned on their horses and sprinted towards the entrance of the valley.  However, their actions were also noticed by the Western Sichuan Army.  As a result, their future became even more bleak.

    "Adjust the shooting elements, 30 degrees to the left, 10 degrees down!"

    At the artillery position halfway up the mountain, a company of 12 Type 82 infantry guns immediately challenged the shooting direction and aimed at Gu Hongqiang and others who were charging out of the valley.
