    Chapter 329: Total Annihilation of Ganma

    The head of the regiment responsible for luring the enemy north reported that the Ma Jiajun had begun an artillery bombardment of Dingbian County. The leading force included two divisions, all of which were cavalry. The rest of the troops were moving to the surrounding areas, and some were surrounding Dingbian County.  intention.

    Ask the division commander for instructions, should the troops evacuate the county immediately?  When Tang Qiuli heard that Ma Jiajun had artillery, he immediately became alert and asked if the enemy's artillery fire was fierce and whether there were large-caliber artillery?

    "Division Commander, there are no large-caliber artillery. Judging from the extent of the shelling in Qingma and Ningma, it is at most the size of an artillery regiment. Most of the equipment is mortars. From the point of impact, there are only a small number of mountain artillery. The city can already hear  I heard the sound of the enemy's horse hooves, please give me instructions to take action!" The voice was urgent, and it was clear that the situation was tense, and the regiment was in danger of getting dumped.

    "Evacuate the county immediately, follow the predetermined plan, select weak enemies along the way, beat them hard, pay attention to tactics!" Tang Qiuli issued the order, and intensive gunshots came from the earphones.

    The former enemy commander in Ganma learned that the troops from the direction of Wuzhong had launched an attack on Dingbian County, and immediately ordered the troops to speed up their march. They passed Liang Liang to Dingbian, calculated the distance, and arrived by themselves. It happened to be Ningma and Dingbian.  When Qingma fought fiercely with the Central Army, from a tactical point of view, it happened to be a surprise and an unprepared attack.

    The two cavalry divisions of the Gansu Majia Army acted as the vanguard, and a force of more than 9,000 horses appeared on the horizon and in Tang Qiuli's field of vision.

    The dust raised by the march of a large number of cavalry pressed down from the south like dark clouds, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves like heavy thunder. Judging from the cavalry marching line of Ganma, it was obvious that they were well-trained. More than 9,000 horses marched in a formation.  There was no chaos at all. At the front was about the vanguard of a regiment, about two kilometers away from the main group.

    Such a distance is enough for the large group of cavalry behind to make any reaction, and this cavalry regiment, while marching, conducts fire reconnaissance on the highlands on both sides, being cautious and very vigilant.

    Tang Qiuli ordered the ambush troops to spare Ganma's vanguard troops and the artillery on both sides to prepare for battle. They must use the most violent artillery fire to drive all Ganma's troops into the ambush circle.

    Ganma's leading cavalry regiment has passed through the ambush circle. It was quiet and nothing happened. They issued a signal to the large troops behind that they could pass.

    Ganma's large force finally came up. The soldiers had been waiting all night. Now, they can close the net. The ambush position stretches for more than five kilometers. Commanders at all levels have issued orders to prepare for battle. Liu Chun's artillery brigade,  Artillery of various calibers quietly shed their camouflage, and their black muzzles pointed toward the sky.

    About one-third of Gan Ma's troops had not entered the ambush circle. Suddenly, there was a commotion and the team stopped advancing, and the orderlies were running back and forth on horseback to deliver orders.

    The commanders at all levels of the *** division were stunned, what happened?

    Tang Qiuli suddenly realized that it must be Ningma and Qingma. They rushed to nothing in Dingbian County. They did not see the main force of the *** division. They felt that the situation was not right, so they reported the information to Ganma's troops.  .

    He immediately ordered Liu Chun to extend the artillery shooting scale to block the road for Ganma troops to retreat to Qingyang. Liu Chun burst into professional terms, and more than a hundred large-caliber artillery, with long barrels, slowly raised the angle.

    Ganma's chief of staff is indeed a treacherous and cunning guy. After receiving the report from Ningma and Qingma, his first reaction was that it was meaningless to go to Dingbian County again. The trap was dug, but there was no prey.  The prey has escaped, and it is a small prey, which is inconsistent with the strength of being able to completely annihilate the Ningdong Security Brigade.

    The second reaction is that we cannot stay here for a long time. The terrain is dangerous, which is not good for ourselves, but conducive to an ambush by the Central Army. There is no main force of the Central Army in Dingbian. Where are they?

    Are you going to ambush somewhere and bite yourself hard?  From Wuzhong to Dingbian, they are all flat saline-alkali land, and there is no dangerous terrain to exploit. There are more than 100,000 people in Qingma and Ningma. No matter how big the Central Army's appetite is, it is impossible to swallow it all in one bite. Only its own troops are passing through.  The dressing beam is the most suitable location for an ambush within a radius of dozens of miles, and among the two directions, the troops are relatively weak.

    He suddenly shuddered, looking at the terrain on both sides of Dressing Liang, he seemed to see countless gun muzzles, pointing directly at him. He immediately ordered the troops, the rear team changed to the front, immediately turned around, quickly exited Dressing Liangshan Road, and returned to Qingqing.  Yang, the 1st Cavalry Division was responsible for rear guard cover.

    The key to the order being issued in a timely manner was the troops of more than 40,000 people. It took a while just to convey the order to turn around to each unit. Ganma's unit was in a chaotic situation at that time.

    This period of time gave Liu Chun's artillery brigade just enough time to adjust the bombardment direction and create time to target the enemy.For Ma's troops, this short period of time will undoubtedly put them in disaster.

    Three red signal flares slowly rose into the sky. There was a loud noise like the earth was shattering, and countless artillery shells flew past the Ganma cavalry and the Chinese army, and landed in the crowd of rearguard troops who had just turned around.

    The artillery shells landed and exploded into yellow flowers. Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Broken limbs and broken arms mixed with broken military uniforms flew all over the sky. A terrible blow fell on the heads of the Ganma troops. The first round of the artillery brigade's attack  Shooting, Ganma's rearguard was enveloped in deathly steel fragments.

    The dense artillery shells exploded into a wall of death on the wide mountain road, completely blocking the road for the Ganma troops to return to Qingyang.

    With no way to retreat, the Ganma troops who were stunned by the bombing instinctively rushed forward to escape to avoid the fate of death. Finally, they all entered the ambush circle. What awaited them was a terrible fate.

    On the high loess cliffs on both sides, there was a roar of light and heavy machine guns, and grenades flew as dense as locusts. The first ones to bear the brunt were Ganma's two cavalry divisions, which were the key targets of the ambush troops of the *** division.  Cannonballs exploded in countless numbers in the cavalry ranks, and the war horses and their owners were torn to pieces.

    There were more than 60,000 people, and more than 40,000 people were ambushed. They occupied difficult terrain and had a firepower advantage of nearly a hundred times. There was not much suspense in the battle. Tang Qiuli cloned his old man's military theory, "concentrate superior forces and attack them."  At one point, by forming a superior force in a local area, the enemy will surely be annihilated." It really worked.

    The cavalry regiment in the vanguard heard indistinguishable explosions from behind. When they looked back, the large army was already enveloped in billowing smoke. Knowing that something was not going well, they raced faster to get out of danger.

    What greeted them were more than 10,000 cavalry. The three cavalry brigades of the *** Division were blocking the way forward. The soldiers were lined up in a row. The sabers in their hands were like a forest shimmering with cold light. They were in the front row.  It was a light machine gunner. Hundreds of light machine guns were held in the hands of the soldiers on horseback.

    The leader of the vanguard cavalry of the Ganma Army wisely chose to abandon his sword, dismount, and surrender. Compared with the cavalry of the Central Army opposite him, his more than a thousand troops were no more than a drop of water in the sea.  It's not enough to fill the space between the opponent's teeth.

    In less than two hours, the battle was over. Ganma's main force was more than 46,000 people, but only four to five thousand escaped. More than 15,000 people were captured, and the rest were all killed.

    Tang Qiuli stared at the battlefield where the smoke had not yet cleared, without the slightest joy of victory in his heart. The corpses of Ganma soldiers and fallen horses were spread all over the broad mountain road five to six kilometers long, stained with scarlet blood.  The yellow earth turned red.

    Because the difference in strength was so great, Tang Qiuli had no choice but to choose this fierce fighting method. Otherwise, the enemy might be wiped out. He would rather use the strategy of encircling and forcing the opponent to surrender than resort to  This method of indiscriminate bombardment.

    Those who fell were all Chinese after all. If this were the Japanese troops, Tang Qiuli would not leave a single person alive, and would turn them all into a pile of minced meat.

    In the battle of Dressing Liang, Gan Ma was completely defeated, and the strategic plan of the three horses to attack from two sides and attack separately was completely shattered.

    Gan Ma's two cavalry divisions were completely wiped out, and the *** division captured more than 4,000 horses, enough to equip another cavalry brigade. These are all well-trained horses, and if replaced with riders, they can go into battle directly.  .

    There are countless weapons and ammunition piled up like mountains. Unfortunately, they are all tattered weapons that the Japanese divisions despise. The only artillery regiment in Ganma was so pitiful that it didn't even have time to unload the mortars from the pack horses.  They all returned to the *** division.

    Ganma¡¯s housekeeping capital was completely wiped out, and he lost his last link. Especially the cavalry unit that Ganma relied on for control was completely wiped out.

    Dingbian County, in the evening, Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing, who were sitting in an empty city, were relatively speechless. They mobilized all their troops and rushed out, but they just captured an empty city. Like a punch punched with all their strength, the target suddenly disappeared, and all their efforts were wasted.  Not to mention, he almost lost his waist and was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

    Just as the main force was about to form an encirclement on Dingbian, it was lured by a small group of troops from the Central Army to chase in the direction of Otok, Inner Mongolia. Fortunately, it was noticed early and the troops were pulled back in time.

    There is no main force of the Central Army in Dingbian, so where are they?  You wouldn't run away if you heard the news, right?  Even if they escaped, there should be some traces. Just when the two horses were puzzled and distressed, Qingma's chief of staff ran in in a panic.

    He reported news that was no less than a bolt from the blue. This morning, more than 46,000 Qingma troops were ambushed by the Central Army in the Daoliang area north of Qingyang and south of Dingbian. Almost the entire army was ambushed.  The army was destroyed and only four to five thousand people escaped back to Qingyang. The chief of staff of the Ganma Army and the former enemy?Command and died on the spot.

    The telegram was sent by Gan Ma himself, and there were tears of blood and tears between the lines. When Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing heard the news, they almost couldn't believe their ears. They staggered a few times and almost fell down on the spot.

    Brother¡¯s army, is this the end?  The Central Army deliberately abandoned Dingbian County and used a small force to attract itself here, but its main force set up an ambush in the Daoliang area and made dumplings out of the brothers' troops!

    Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing now fully understand. Unfortunately, after the battle was over and Ganma's entire army was wiped out, everything was too late. There was no point in going to reinforce now.
