"Mr. once said that all strategic or tactical choices must be determined based on actual conditions." Zhang Mingrui explained, "The different strategies we and the CCP have adopted in the face of enemy encirclement and suppression are determined based on different actual conditions."

In the three encirclements and suppressions of the CCP that ended earlier, if the CCP was simply in terms of power balance, the CCP was at an absolute disadvantage, but because of the correct tactic of "tempting the enemy into depth, concentrating superior forces, and annihilation of the enemy in each", the three encirclements and suppressions of the Nanjing authorities suffered losses and failed.

However, for the People's Army in the Northwest Base Area, the tactic of luring the enemy into the deep is not applicable.

From the opening of the Jinggangshan base area at the end of 27 to the time when the Nanjing authorities carried out its first encirclement and suppression, the CCP had developed in that area for about three years. The base area had been consolidated and the mass base was very solid. Only then can it implement "temptation of the enemy to go deeper" and conduct internal operations.

The northwest base established by the People's Army has only been about half a year since the occupation of Longdong. Although the People's Army's divisions have initially stabilized the northwest base with various measures, it is still a long way from being stable and the people's base needs to be strengthened. If Yang Hucheng and other enemy troops are allowed to enter the northwest base at this time, the landlords and gentry who have suffered losses in the land division movement before will likely agree with the enemy, causing the situation in the base area to be corrupted and the previous results will be destroyed. If this is the case, even if the People's Army eventually eliminates all the enemy troops, it will definitely not be worth the loss.

Furthermore, in terms of military strength, the People's Army currently has about 70,000 troops, while Yang Hucheng can mobilize only about 70,000 troops this time. Although they are all 70,000, the People's Army has an absolute advantage in terms of training and equipment. It is definitely not comparable to the 70,000 encirclement and suppression troops that Yang Hucheng has collected now, and they have a small plan. It can be said that when we are strong and weak, the People's Army has no need to lure the enemy into depth.

"It is a good thing to learn from other people's successful experiences, but it must be copied without discernment." After a brief analysis, Zhang Mingrui said again, "In this battle, we will not use the overall strategy to lure the enemy into depth, but it does not hinder the specific tactical arrangement of lure the enemy into depth in some places with complex terrain, such as the Longnan direction. Of course, even if we lure the enemy into depth in tactical ways, we must pay attention to grasping the distance of letting the enemy into depth, and we must never overdo it!"

Zhang Mingrui's analysis made everyone nod.

"I would like to remind everyone that after the enemy launches attack on my base, whether it is defense or counterattack, mastering the active attack on the battlefield is a very effective way of combat." Yang Tianming added, "This deployment is only a more clear way of using the troops in general, but it has not yet specified the arrangement of troops for each battle. I suggest that each department put out the specific arrangements and let everyone summarize them together. Maybe a deduction will be performed on the sand table."

Yang Tianming's proposal made everyone's eyes lit up. One person had a short plan, two had a strong plan. It is indeed necessary to deduce the possible deployment of various enemy forces, the direction of the offensive and the response strategies of various departments of the People's Army here in advance.

"Tianming, we are all here. Yang Hucheng won't take this opportunity to launch it, right? If that happens, we will be a little passive." Wang Fengshan reminded.

"The sixth signal appeared the day before yesterday. If Yang Hucheng wanted to siege us from Route 6, then he would have to give the 6th enemy a few days to prepare." Yang Tianming said affirmatively, "We will not have any problems staying here for a day or two. Besides, aren't there anyone in each column guarding the house? Nothing can happen."

On the afternoon of the 4th, Zhang Mingrui, Yang Tianming and others who ended the sand table deduction returned to various departments and stepped up preparations to welcome the 6th siege of Yang Hucheng.

Since the sixth signal appeared on the 20th, it has often maintained contact with the direction of Yanghucheng and Qinghai in Xi'an. Yan Zhen has judged that this should come from the direction of Ganzhou in northwest. Yang Tianming knew that this was Ma Buqing, Ma Lin and Ma Bufang were in contact.

But by noon on the 27th, Yan Zhen reported to Yang Tianming: "From last night to the present, the communication between Xi'an and various enemy radio stations has been interrupted for 16 hours, and the reason is unknown."

"There is nothing unknown, it means that the enemy is about to start." Yang Tianming said affirmatively, "I informed the columns of this situation and reminded everyone that the battle is likely to start in the next two days!"

At dawn on the 8th, under Yang Hucheng's telegram, the sixth line of encirclement and suppression troops launched an attack at 5 a.m.

Gao Shuangcheng, Jing Yuexiu's army, led seven groups of groups of all sizes along the Great Wall line, crossed the border between Dingbian and Yanchi, and advanced towards Yanchi County;

Sun Weiru's 17th Division Yangqu brigade went out of Changwu to advance to Jingchuan, Duan Xiangwu brigade advanced to Lingtai, and Zhao Shoushan brigade advanced to Huating;

Chen Shouxu's brigade of the 58th Division of Ma Qingyuan, and Han Yinsheng's brigade attacked from Liangdang and attacked Tianshui and Qingshui respectively;

The Dachang tribe of Lu in Longnan set out from Wudu to attack Li County;

Ma Lin from Qinghai led more than 4,000 troops to attack Lanzhou, while Ma Bufang led more than 5,000 troops to attack Yongchang;

At the same time, Ma Buqing also led more than 5,000 troops to set out from Minle and attacked Yongchang with Ma Bufang.

The six armies acted at the same time, and they were in full force, with great momentum to defeat the People's Army and recover Gansu and Ning provinces in one fell swoop. However, these six armies encircled and suppressed troops were not the same.

Jing Yuexiu and Yang Hucheng did not want a powerful force around them to threaten their status in Shaanxi, so they were sincere in sending troops this time, hoping to achieve success in one battle and completely eliminate the People's Army. In addition, Lu Dachang, Ma Lin, Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing each had their own thoughts, and even Ma Qingyuan had different ideas.

After Lu Dachang received the radio station sent by Yang Hucheng and equipped it, he asked Wu Peifu, who was stranded here.

In the original history, after the September 18th Incident, Wu Peifu sent a telegram saying that he wanted to go north to fight against Japan and deal with the Japanese army to the end. He also reported to the Nanjing authorities, proposing to demarcate Jinzhou as a neutral zone and use Du to advance again. After entering Lanzhou to mediate the Leima Incident, the generals of Gansu, Sichuan, Qing, Ning and New Provinces issued a telegram to support Wu Peifu to come out to fight against Japan together. As a result, Wu Peifu's actions attracted the fear of Chiang Kai-shek. After Yang Hucheng's troops in Shaanxi entered Gansu, they were forced to flee to Ningxia and eventually went to Peking to be an apartment man.

Now, due to the emergence of the People's Army, the cable telegram used by Wudu to contact the outside through Tianshui was cut off, and the radio station sent by Yang Hucheng was directly controlled by personnel from Nanjing, so Wu Peifu's power was unable to be initiated. During this period, Wu Peifu also sent people to Lanzhou to inquire whether it was possible to make a comeback with the People's Army, but was told by the other party that Wu Peifu would go to welcome the apartment and not discuss other matters. In desperation, Wu Peifu had to stay in Wudu for the time being.

When Lu Dachang came to ask for advice, Wu Peifu asked back: "If this encirclement and suppression of the People's Army is successful, what benefits will Yang Hucheng and Nanjing promise to Commander Lu? If the encirclement and suppression fail, what losses will Commander Lu have?"

Lu Dachang was stunned. He had never thought about this problem before. At that moment, he said hesitantly: "If I win, I think the counties I occupied should be handed over to me, right? If I lose, I can't say it."

"What Commander Lu sees is not accurate." Wu Peifu shook his head and said, "In Wu's opinion, even if he wins, Commander Lu will suffer a lot of losses. It will be difficult for all parties to speak at that time. Qinghai, Shaanxi and even Gansu will find it difficult to allow Commander Lu to continue to occupy the Weihe Valley in Longzhong and the counties in Longxi. If he loses, with the terrain of Longnan and the losses in combat, the People's Army will not endanger Wudu. In other words, if Commander Lu won, there will be no harm in winning.

"This, how can you beat me up?" Lu Dachang, who was rude, blurted out.

Wu Peifu frowned, unable to stand this guy's rudeness, but now he still has to rely on Lu Dachang, so he said again: "Whether it is good or bad, it depends on the strength of Commander Lu's army. If he wins and Commander Lu's troops are gone, then everything will naturally stop; if he is defeated and Commander Lu's troops are not damaged, it is not a bad thing."

After touching his head for a while, Lu Dachang nodded heavily and said, "I understand, save my strength! I'll work hard!"

Lu Dachang made up his mind to mobilize foreign workers, while Ma Lin was preparing to lead people to attack.

Although Ma Bufang added more than 2,000 troops to him, and more than 5,000 people under Ma Lin's men were available, the militia that had been pieced together could not bear much except for the number of them. Therefore, after leaving more than 1,000 troops to guard the house, Ma Lin and Su Yanlong commanded the troops to attack in Lanzhou. According to Ma Lin's request, this army decided to "have advantages, take advantage of them quickly, and make a bluff of the momentum to act as a hero" and advanced from the people to Lanzhou.

Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang brothers wanted to work together to take Yongchang and advance to Wuwei. In this way, as long as the access between Yongchang and Xining is in his hands, it would be fine to defend the western half of the Hexi Corridor. If the People's Army was besieged by several parties and withdraw troops to look back on Lanzhou, then his brother might control the entire Hexi Corridor in one fell swoop.

Among the various encirclement and suppression forces, Ma Qingyuan was considered a hidden but helpless person.

The 8th Division was a unit that Ma Qingyuan started, and he really didn't want this capital to be consumed too much. However, the two brigade commanders of the 58th Division were the direct subordinates who were stuffed into Yang Hucheng. They regarded Yang Hucheng's words as golden rules and were determined to lead the troops to launch a fierce attack on the People's Army. Ma Qingyuan could only secretly say nothing. However, the radio operators sent from Nanjing began to communicate with Ma Qingyuan intentionally or unintentionally, which made Ma Qingyuan have another idea in his mind.

As soon as the battle started, Yang Hucheng stayed in the combat room of the 17th Army Command in Xi'an City waiting for the progress of the encirclement and suppression troops. The captains of the People's Army also stayed at the column command and used the radio station to command the front line to specifically command the front line. Unlike the radio stations of Yang Hucheng's army that were equipped with division-level units, the radio stations in the columns of the People's Army have been equipped with regiment-level units, and even the special columns are equipped with battalion-level units. This has led to extremely asymmetric feedback on combat information between the two sides. Commanders at all levels of the People's Army can obtain battlefield information more conveniently than encirclement and suppression troops, and their command is more flexible. In particular, because the headquarters radio station followed the special columns to act together, Yang Tianming actually took on the task of coordinating the operations of various columns.

"How is the progress of each department now?" Yang Tianming asked his chief of staff Chen Hailan.

"The enemy troops from all walks of life have only been in contact with our army for more than an hour, and you have asked 5 times." Chen Hailan sighed helplessly, "Don't worry, everyone should defend and detour now. When this time tomorrow morning, you will basically see your eyebrows."

"In the past, we used firepower to bully the enemy, but now Yang Hucheng's headquarters is equipped with artillery in several directions. I'm a little worried about the losses of each sect." Yang Tianming smiled with a little self-deprecating smile, "I didn't expect that I would be nervous now. I really don't know how Mr. took us step by step to today. It seems that Mr. has never been nervous."

"It should be no big problem." Chen Hailan said thinking, "When we fought with the Northern Expedition Army in Yimeng, we also suffered artillery attacks from the other side. With the fortifications built at that time, we did not suffer many casualties. Although the fortifications in the northwest are far less than those in the Yimeng side, there is not much problem with the 75-caliber artillery. Moreover, we also have artillery here, and the enemy cannot build any fortifications in a hurry, so we can only get bombed."

Now the solar term has passed, and the northwest land has been frozen hard. Only when the sun is strong at noon will the surface melt less than one foot thick. The People's Army is on the defensive side and has long built various effective fortifications on the border. If the enemy is surrounded and suppressed by the People's Army, if they are in a hurry and face the frozen land, they will definitely not be able to build effective anti-arrest fortifications, and they are indeed only bombed.

"As for sir, that's an extraordinary person, not something we can compare with. It's up to you." Chen Hailan sighed...
