Chapter 195: The Destruction of the First Cavalry Division
The scorching sun in May hung arrogantly high in the sky, exuding an almost suffocating heat, and the Gobi Desert also became hot because it absorbed enough heat.
At this time, a long team walked on the Gobi Desert, which had almost become a forbidden land for humans. From far to near, they finally saw clearly. They turned out to be a large group of cavalry. This team of cavalry
They looked so embarrassed that one could tell at a glance that they were a defeated team.
While walking, one or two cavalrymen fell off their horses from time to time and could not get up again. The cavalrymen next to them just looked at the people on the ground indifferently, and their eyes returned to their original dead eyes. This
It's not that they don't want to get off the horse to save others, but they know that after they get off the horse, they will probably never be able to get on the horse again like the people on the ground.
Yes, this team was the 1st Cavalry Division of Ma Bufang's tribe in Qinghai, which had just suffered a defeat in Ningxia. The originally ambitious Ma Biao and the 1st Cavalry Division wanted to burn, kill and plunder Ningxia, but they encountered an enemy near Yumen Pass.
A hard nail broke several of Ma Biao's steel teeth, which he thought were very strong.
After realizing that he couldn't get any favors, Ma Biao took the remnants and started his escape journey. However, Ma Biao, who was used to being arrogant in the northwest, did not realize that there was something called an airplane in the world. Well, maybe
He knew it, but he still didn't know that the airplane was a multi-functional tool. In addition to being used for bombing, the airplane also had a capability called reconnaissance.
In the past few days of escaping, there were always several planes flying over him. The one talking above him was Liu Jun, the deputy of the 1st Battalion. At this time, he was lying in a temporarily dug foxhole, his face covered with water.
He knew where he had turned out the handkerchief of an unknown color, and said casually.
Ren Ran glanced at him with disdain: "You have only this little talent, what do you mean we won't fight while our large army is here? Don't we fight when the large army is not there? Our brothers who lost so many people that day can't be in vain."
Come on, I will bite him to death today even if I bite him with my teeth."
Liu Jun was dissatisfied when he heard this and retorted: "You are promising. Today we have tens of thousands of people and it is your turn to bite each one of us with your teeth and drown him in the urine."
While the two were bickering, a warning came from the front that the enemy was coming. They were not allowed to talk to each other and kept silent.
After dozens of minutes of unbearable waiting, I finally saw a group of fleeing cavalry running towards me like frightened little rabbits at the end of this ancient official road. There were several Stukas in the sky behind them.
Taking turns to swoop and shoot, like shepherd dogs trying to drive the sheep into the sheepfold, they slowly drove the cavalry onto this ancient official road from all directions.
"Quick, Master, we can enter Dole County after passing this official road. As long as we reach the county, we don't need to be afraid of this damn plane." Ma Biao's adjutant said loudly and looked tired.
At this time, Ma Biao no longer had the arrogance he had a few days ago. If our Chief Su had appeared in front of him, he would have been amazed by this simple and vicissitudes of life. The originally straight khaki general uniform was stained with blood.
, oil stains and many unknown things dyed it yellow and black. I don’t know where the military cap on my head was thrown, revealing the messy dirty hair, and the beard on my face that I didn’t have time to care for these days when I was running for my life.
He was so tangled that if it weren't for the riding crop in his hand and the gun on his body, he would have been able to ensure that a family of three would have enough food and clothing just by putting him on the streets of Shanghai or a certain city.
Ma Biao smiled bitterly and said: "I destroyed the first division. I don't even know how to see my second uncle. Alas, if our radio station hadn't been lost, we could have informed my second uncle.
Ask his old man to send someone to pick us up."
While the two were talking, their hands were moving very slowly, spanking the tired horse's butt, and looking towards the sky behind them.
At this time, the Stuka in the sky seemed to be less anxious after seeing them entering the official road, and slowly circled in the sky.
Ma Biao's group of remnant soldiers who were eager to escape did not carefully observe the environment, nor did they send out scouts to survey the terrain. They just rushed straight into the pocket carefully set up for them by the Chahar Infantry Division 10th.
After seeing most of Ma Biao's cavalry entering the encirclement, Peng Zeyuan put down his telescope, with a chill in his eyes, and said to the staff officer beside him: "Order the troops, start."
"yes"
The staff officer responded, took a few steps forward, took out a flare gun from his waist, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang, bang, bang," three flares, one red and two green, immediately flew into the sky. Even in the afternoon when the sun was shining brightly, their light was enough for people from several miles away to see him.
"It's not good." As soon as he ran into the official road, Ma Biao knew that he was going to be in trouble as soon as he saw the signal flare in the air. He quickly hit his horse and prepared to go back the same way. However, Ma Biao, who had just run two steps, saw the official road sadly.
I don't know when more than a dozen tanks appeared at the entrance and firmly blocked the entrance.
"Assholes, these damn bastards actually buried the tanks in the ground and covered them with camouflage. They are so despicable." Ma Biao understood everything as soon as he saw the tanks with dirt and gravel on them.
.But he was so eager to escape that he could only hit his horse and run back.
At this time, as the signal flares were raised on the official road, the sound of gunshots and cannons was heard for a while. The cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, who had been galloping on the Gobi Desert in the northwest, were running around in panic. Because of the official
The passage was too narrow and was not conducive to the deployment of large-caliber artillery fire, so this ambush mainly used light weapons and easy-to-carry mortars.
"put"
"Whoosh whoosh!" On a certain mortar position, dozens of 82 mortars that had been calibrated to shoot at Mohara made a slight dull sound one after another and flew towards the predetermined target.
"Boom!" explosions resounded in the ranks of the Ma Jiajun, and rains of shrapnel were flying everywhere. The shrapnel was so dense that some horses were torn to pieces by the rain of bullets before they even had time to scream.
Meat.
This is true for horses, let alone men. From the moment the cannon sounded, in less than ten minutes, nearly one-third of the remaining 4,000 Ma's cavalry fell.
The remaining cavalry used their remaining strength to fight their horses and gallop forward. Although they knew that the Chahar army that was besieging them was not so kind and would leave a way for them to survive in front, the human instinct of not giving up until the Yellow River was reached
As a result, they still have to go to the front to try this only way of escape.
"We are almost there and there will be a way to survive." Ma Biao was beating the horse while encouraging his subordinates and himself. He forcefully told himself that when he reached the entrance of Guandao, he would have a way to survive. This was his own territory. After leaving Guandao, he could find a house wherever he wanted.
Everyone can hide
Seeing the intersection getting closer, Ma Biao was surprised to find that the tank he was most worried about did not appear in front of him.
In excitement, Ma Biao shouted loudly, "Brothers, you can survive as soon as you rush through the intersection."
