After some consideration, Chen Hailan first called back to Zhang Mingrui, reminding him to send additional troops to close the central part of the Helan Mountains and communicate the passage between the Hexi Plain and the Alxa Plateau.

There are two main roads leading to the Alxa Plateau in the Hexi Plain in Ningxia. One is a road that passes through Chimukou, Helan Mountain, about 120 kilometers long and can pass through horses and carriages; the other is a steep mountain road through Suweikou, more than 80 kilometers long and can only pass through pedestrians and horses. A few years ago, the Hui cavalry led by Ma Zhongying attacked the Ningxia Plain through the Suweikou. However, since then, the Ningxia authorities have strictly controlled the passages and mountain passes through the Helan Mountains to enter the Hexi Plain. In addition, the terrain there is a dangerous terrain and there are beacon towers and other facilities established since ancient times. If external forces want to force entry from there, they will definitely pay a lot of money. It is precisely because the Ningxia authorities have strict precautions for the westward passage and their side also have to block the Ningxia southward passage, Chen Hailan and others chose to advance north from the Zhongwei.

However, external forces in this westward channel are difficult to invade, and it is no problem for the enemies on the Hexi Plain to escape. If you want to completely annihilate the enemies in Hexi in Ningxia and block and delay the news of Ningxia's changes, you must use enough troops to completely close the westward channel passing through Helan Mountain in time.

After sending the telegram to Zhang Mingrui, Chen Hailan and a few people lurked to Yinzi Mountain in the southwest of Guangwu City, staring at it in a telescope for a long time. As noon approached, Chen Hailan had an idea.

"Let's go back and take the whole team and take down Guangwu City in one fell swoop!" Chen Hailan greeted.

"Chief of Staff, aren't you waiting for the evening?" Cui Yi asked. Cui Yi was the captain of the Second Brigade of Special Forces Brigade. He has followed Chen Hailan to operate in the Houtao area of ​​Hexi since the second half of last year. After the special forces brigade went north this spring, after consultation by Zhang Mingrui, Yang Tianming and Chen Hailan, it was determined that Cui Yi would be the commander of the Helan Mountain Base of the Hexi Army. At the same time, the Second Brigade of the Special Forces Brigade was handed over to Luo Zhensheng and Zhuang Yi. Now, the Ningxia Battle has been launched and the mission of the Helan Mountain Base has come to an end. Cui Yi followed Chen Hailan to participate in the combat operation to attack Zhongwei and other places to block the southwest passage of Hexi in Ningxia.

"You can't wait any longer. The longer the time is, the more likely the enemy in the city is to receive reinforcements from Ning Shuo, and the more difficult it will be to attack later." Chen Hailan analyzed, "Although the action at night is beneficial to us to take down Guangwu City, it is also beneficial to the enemy to escape at night. There are mountains around here, and a small group of people can easily slip away when they get in. This is not conducive to our blockade of news."

Looking at the sky, Chen Hailan said again: "It's almost noon now, and the city's defense personnel will definitely have a meal and rest. Let's take advantage of the enemy's relaxed defense and take advantage of the enemy's wits to strengthen the attack!"

"Take a clever attack?" Cui Yi didn't understand for a moment.

"I'll talk to you in detail when I go back." Chen Hailan packed up his telescope, thought about it, and asked again, "Did we bring the enemy uniforms that Zhiyuan and the others brought back from Longdong this time?"

Cui Yi had a little clarity in his heart, so he said, "I brought about 40 sets, but the biggest thing is the team leader's outfit, and it's a bit different from Ningxia. I'm afraid the city fraud will not work."

"There is only enough for 40 people." Chen Hailan pondered, "Let's talk about it together when you go back."

Back at the hidden place, Chen Hailan called several team members together and expressed his thoughts: "We can't wait any longer. The longer we wait, the greater the variables. My plan is to lead more than 30 brothers of the Special Corps to disguise themselves as Gansu troops, and approach Guangwu City head-on in the name of coming to Ningxia under the order of Ma Hongbin to work; Qin Dechang commanded the mortar troops to approach one kilometer from the city wall, set up mortars, aim at the city wall, and if the enemy moves abnormally on the city, fire bombardment; Cui Yi led more than 300 other brothers of the Special Corps to lurk 400 meters away from the city wall, and wait for my side to start operations, and respond in time; Guo Cheng led the brothers of the First Corps to follow up, and at the same time, to prevent the enemy from abandoning the city and escaping into the mountains."

"Chief of Staff, if you want to go, I will lead the team to face the enemy head-on. With us here, how can you come forward?!" Cui Yi opposed.

"Chief of Staff, if my brothers are rushing toward the city wall or are rushing toward the city wall, I will fire a cannon on my side, which will cause accidental injury." Qin Dechang also opposed.

"As long as the shells fall on the top of the city and there is a half-man-high wall block, at most some gravel will be splashed, which will not cause any trouble. Of course, you must master the timing of firing the cannon." Chen Hailan said.

"Chief of Staff, you'd better help Dechang seize the opportunity later. I'll bring more than 40 brothers up there." Cui Yi insisted, "Don't worry, with the outfit of that regiment commander, it's definitely okay for me to pretend to be in front of those enemy troops."

"Okay then. But you have to think of an excuse and adapt to the situation." Chen Hailan nodded in agreement.

...

Seeing that it was noon, the sun was very poisonous after the heavy rain. The enemy troops on the city wall had already found a place to cool down. Several guards hiding in the city gate were also sleepy with big guns in their arms.

At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves and horses sniffling sounds on the mountain road outside the city. After hearing the movement, the bearded squad leader looked out and immediately came to his spirits: "Brothers, there is a horse gang here. This is a good deal, and they are all cheering up!"

However, when the person approached, the squad leader saw the other party's uniform and good horse clearly, but lost his interest and muttered, "I don't know where it came from, I'm happy again." Then, he kicked a soldier beside him and ordered: "Go! Ask the other party where he came from."

"Where did it come from? What did you do?" The soldier raised his big gun and stood in the sun reluctantly shouted.

"I have followed Chairman Ma's order to go to Ningxia City to work." The leader of the regiment said in anger with a hat blowing the cool breeze.

"Which Chairman Ma?" the soldier asked again.

"Of course it's Chairman Ma of Gansu!" The commander glared and shouted, "If the Yellow River had not had flooded, the Hedong area would not have been sent to the east, and I would not have been sent to take such a long way to suffer! Damn, hurry up and move this bullshit barricade away! If it delays major issues, you will only ask!"

The squad leader in the city gate saw that the other party was dressed, war horses and equipment were all serious. Besides, it would be fine if they could come from the central defender, so he ordered several soldiers under his command: "Change the roadblocks and please pass by the commander!"

When the roadblock was removed, the regiment commander cursed and passed by the city gate, but more than 40 people deliberately or unintentionally surrounded the soldiers on duty. Before the squad leader came forward to please, the regiment commander shouted softly: "Take it!"

Soon, with a few "clicks", several soldiers on duty fell down with their necks hanging down.

The city gate was solved, and the enemy troops who were preparing to have dinner in the city were even better. When Chen Hailan saw Cui Yi's gesture in the telescope, he commanded the Special Column, and other combatants of the First Column quickly rushed into Guangwu City.

Unprepared, except for a small number of enemy troops who were shot dead in an attempt to resist, nearly 400 other enemy troops were captured.

...

"Haha, it's great. I knew we were coming, so I prepared the meal in advance." Seeing the food in the enemy canteen, Chen Haixe smiled.

"Chief of Staff, we set out a few days ago to the present, and we have been raiding for nearly a thousand miles a long distance. Finally, we encountered a battle, but the enemy is too weak." Cui Yi shook his head and sighed.

"We can't say that they are too weak, but we are much stronger than them. In addition, we are unexpected, so it is not surprising to achieve such a battle result." Chen Hailan concluded, "I have a little understanding of what my husband said before. The battle result is interspersed and encircled. The battle result is often achieved unexpected battle result, which is really clever."

After sighing, Chen Hailan ordered again: "It has been 7 days since I had a good meal, and the brothers are very tired. We will rest in Guangwu City for an afternoon. After dinner, Guo Cheng left 200 brothers here to garrison. Others continued to advance north with me and strive to advance to Ningxia City tomorrow morning."

"Then let's ignore Ning Shuo in the north?" Cui Yi was stunned.

"The enemy forces on Ningshuo and Guangwu City are only about 800. We have eliminated half of his troops here, and Ningshuo has only one battalion left." Chen Hailan calculated, "For this force, there is no such dangerous terrain as Guangwu City. We can solve the problem by leaving Guo Cheng and leading 600 people. The other 1,200 people follow me to continue north."

Zhang Mingrui, Chen Hailan and others rushed forward in Hexi, while the combat operations of Yang Tianming, Yu Zhenshan and others in Hedong have basically ended. Compared with the Hexi battle, the enemies facing the Hedong battle are weaker. Yang Tianming, Yu Zhenshan and others are not so much fighting as they are practicing troops.

The two miscellaneous masters stationed in Hedong, Ningxia were subdued by Ma Hongbin.

Among them, Ma Cunliang, who was stationed in Lingwu and Yanchi, was originally a remnant of Ma Zhongying. He was first incorporated by Ji Hongchang and then subdued by Ma Hongbin. After Han Jinlu's army stationed in Lingwu returned to Ma Tingxian's command, Ma Cunliang entered Lingwu and Yanchi.

Yang Zifushi, who was stationed in Jinji, Yuwang area, was originally a gangster in Ningxia. After Ma Zhongying captured Ningxia, the unit joined Ma Zhongying's command and was first incorporated by Ji Hongchang and subdued by Ma Hongbin.

However, although these two miscellaneous troops are known as "divisions", they sound quite scary, but the two "divisions" combined with militia groups in each county, and the road protection teams have only more than 1,000 troops. In addition, each county town has only only two or three hundred troops. In contrast, Yang Tianming, Yu Zhenshan and others dispatched the Special Column, and most of the sects have a total of 20,000 troops. The strength comparison has almost reached 20 to 1! Such a huge gap in the military strength comparison, so Zheng Jiantao once joked that even if he used wooden sticks to beat him up, he could solve more than 1,000 enemies.

Therefore, after deploying the combat operation, Yang Tianming asked the special column personnel led by him to take down Lugou Fort and cut off the passage from the east of Ningxia River to Gansu. He then sent troops to clear out a small group of bandits on the south bank of Qingshui River, and Chen Bing on the south bank of Qingshui River.

Yu Zhenshan, Sun Yaoming, Zheng Jiantao and other troops also lurked in place during the rainy night at the scheduled time and launched on time. The special rank personnel took the lead and solved the pitiful enemy troops in each county. Then, they began to eliminate bandits and defeat the troops in Hedong, and asked the government staff to carry out various activities such as rescue of disaster victims, planting crops, and establishing regimes.
