Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The surrender of the Maqin City defenders allowed the Western Sichuan Army to enter Maqin City on the night of April 12th. All prisoners were taken into custody. Of course, those who were willing to join the Western Sichuan Army were all added to the Western Sichuan Army.  11th Brigade.  In the battle to attack Maqin, the 11th Brigade still suffered a lot of losses. The first battalion of the 11th Brigade was almost crippled, and a large number of soldiers were needed to supplement it. If the loyalty of these prisoners could be guaranteed,  Undoubtedly, he is a very good candidate to replenish his troops.

    After the great victory at Dongqinggou, the Qingma Army only had a few thousand remnants of defeated generals left. It can be said that it existed in name only and was nothing to worry about.  The enemies that Western Sichuan has to face now are mainly the Hezhou Ma Jiajun and Ningma Army. The Ma Jiajun who attacked this time has more than 40,000 people. It is still a tough battle for the Western Sichuan Army.  However, with the victory in Dongqinggou, the 4,000 Western Sichuan Army defeated the 16,000 Green Horse Army, which greatly enhanced the confidence of the soldiers. Although the enemy was outnumbered, in everyone's eyes, they were still like local chickens.  Like a wag dog.

    During the attack of the Western Sichuan Army, most of the city of Maqin was destroyed.  Troops from two brigades of the Western Sichuan Army moved into it, but they could not find intact houses to house them, so they might as well be stationed outside the city.  Therefore, in addition to sending a small number of troops into Maqin City to guard the prisoners, the main forces of the 10th and 11th Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army were still stationed outside the city, waiting for the arrival of the Ma Jiajun.  Ma Haiyan suffered such a big loss and must have tried every means to get it back.  The Western Sichuan Army could just wait for work to face the Ma Jiajun in Maqin City.

    "This time, the 10th Brigade defeated the Qingma Army in Dongqinggou. The battle was very beautiful. I have sent the battle report back, and there are also reports for everyone to take credit. I believe that after this battle, everyone will  They can all get generous rewards." Cai Yun said with a smile.

    Everyone¡¯s faces were full of joy, including the generals of the 11th Brigade.  Although they have just joined the Western Sichuan Army not long ago, victory is undoubtedly the best aid to accelerate integration.  As the Western Sichuan Army won one victory after another, these surrendered generals had a greater sense of identification with the Western Sichuan Army.  It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.  Since the Qingma Army and even the Ma Jiajun ships are no longer reliable, what's the harm in replacing them with a larger and stronger ship?

    Zhao Bowen, Tashi Duoji and Li Zhuo from the 10th Brigade were the happiest.  Zhao Bowen is a brigadier general. With this victory, he believes that he will be promoted to major general and become a real general instead of a reserve general. He heard that there is a secret recruitment in western Sichuan, and there will be more and more troops by then.  If he is in a good position and can be promoted, his future will be bright.  Tashi Duoji and Li Zhuo both have the rank of colonel. If they can advance one level this time, they will be able to reach the level of general.  You know, there are not many generals in the entire Western Sichuan Army now!

    "However, everyone should pay attention. Although we defeated the Qingma Army in Dongqinggou, the enemy is still strong. Preliminary estimates show that the enemies we face still have 40,000 people. Now the 10th and 11th brigades are adding  There are only 17,000 people in total, so we are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. However, the main force of the fourth brigade is already on the way. The four main cavalry battalions plus some troops directly under the brigade have a total strength of more than five  Thousands of people. In this case, we will have an army of more than 20,000 people. With our combat power, there is no problem in defeating the Ma Jiajun." Cai Yun said.

    No one is afraid or even excited about the coming battle.  The Ma Jiajun was simply vulnerable to the Western Sichuan Army. Those Ma Jiajun were just here to increase their military exploits.

    "Then, let's face the Ma Jiajun in Maqin City! As long as we win this battle, Qinghai and Gansu provinces will be ours. I promise that I will report your contribution to the commander in time!" Wang Yuze also said  said.

    A soldier who doesn¡¯t want to be a general is not a good soldier. Even if it is to protect his family and country, who among the soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army does not desire to move to a higher position!  Now with Wang Yuze's guarantee, this made them even more excited.

    "Okay, let's disperse! All departments need to rest and recuperate. We will face a big battle in at most two days! Ma Qi, please stay here!" Cai Yun said at last.

    "Yes!" Everyone paid a military salute to Wang Yuze and Cai Yun, and then exited the military tent one by one. Only Ma Qi stayed.

    "Sit down, Ma Qi. Don't be so formal, we are a family now!" Cai Yun said with a smile.

    "Brother Ma, I know you feel a little uncomfortable now. However, this is the reality. If Western Sichuan wants to compete for the world, it must defeat other armies. Since you are now a member of the Western Sichuan Army, you should stand in Western Sichuan  Consider it from the perspective of the army. Of course, after we defeat the Ma Jiajun, if your father does not continue to resist, we will not do anything to him!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Young Marshal, I know that now I??'s identity.  However, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart!  Ma Qi replied. Anyone who wants to meet his father on the battlefield will probably not feel too comfortable.

    "Let's do this! If you find it difficult to do it, you can go back to Qamdo first and come back after the war is over!" Cai Yun suggested.

    "No need, Chief of Staff. I believe I can handle it. I am no longer the young master of the Qingma Army. My identity is the brigade commander of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army." Ma Qi said firmly.

    "Very good, Brother Ma, it is undoubtedly the best that you can think like this. I am looking forward to your performance. You go back and tell Wang Wei so that he can come back. I am really not used to it without him!"  Wang Yuze said with a smile.

    "Yes, young marshal!" Ma Qi took the order.  Of course he knew the purpose of Wang Wei going to the 11th Brigade.  Now that Wang Yuze recalled Wang Wei, he undoubtedly completely believed in him and the generals of the 11th Brigade, which moved Ma Qi very much.

    Unlike the joy after the victory of the Western Sichuan Army, the atmosphere over the Ma Jiajun side was a bit bleak.  Ma Haiyan took the remaining defeated troops and retreated all the way to a place called Kaicuo, where he joined the Hezhou Ma Jiajun and the Ningma Army.  However, Hezhou Ma Jiajun and Ningma Army were very shocked after learning about the Qingma Army's defeat.

    "Uncle, is the Western Sichuan Army really that powerful?" The person who spoke was a young man in his thirties, with a dark complexion but a very burly appearance.  He is Ma Guoliang, the younger brother of Ma Anliang, the current governor of Gansu, and the second son of Ma Zhan'ao, the founder of the Ma Jiajun who died. He is only thirty-three years old this year.

    "The Western Sichuan Army has been able to fight the Qing court for decades with more than 100,000 troops, and has always had the upper hand. Naturally, they have their own advantages. However, Qinghai is the place of our Ma family.  No matter how powerful they are, we will fight them to the end!" Another middle-aged man with a mustache said, his name is Ma Fulu, he is thirty-seven years old and the eldest son of Ma Qianling, the Ningxia Protectorate Envoy.

    "Two good nephews, the firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is strong, but it is not invincible. I made a mistake this time! After all, the place where we fought with the Western Sichuan Army is narrow, and our cavalry cannot give full play to its advantages. We can only use our flesh and blood to fight hard.  Fight the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army! If we move to a place with open terrain, we won't have this problem!" Ma Haiyan said sadly.  Because of his own reasons, tens of thousands of Green Horse soldiers died on the battlefield, which made him very heartbroken!

    "Uncle, don't worry. The deaths of our brothers will not be in vain. According to the intelligence obtained, the Western Sichuan Army has now gathered around Maqin City. The open terrain there is just suitable for our cavalry to attack. We will send troops immediately and try to arrive tomorrow.  Ma Qin, fight to the death with the Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Guoliang said.

    "Yes, this time let the Western Sichuan Army know the power of our Ma family cavalry." Ma Fulu also said.  The Ningma Army has always regarded the Hezhou Ma Family Army as their leader. Ma Fulu has never fought against the Western Sichuan Army, so he still somewhat despises it.

    "Then I will rely on my two wise nephews!" Ma Haiyan said.  Now the Qingma Army exists in name only. If you want to defeat the Western Sichuan Army, you can only rely on the Hezhou Majia Army and the Ningma Army.

    "Uncle, your words are serious!" Ma Guoliang and Ma Fulu both said quickly.

    ?????????????? Then, the three Ma Jiajun families joined forces, a total of 40,000 people, and marched towards Maqin in a mighty manner!
