Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they heard this. The Northeastern Border Guards had been silent for a week, and then suddenly changed their normal behavior and launched an attack.

It really surprised them, especially Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin. Now Yongning County has been lost. If Shizuishanzi is lost again, Yinchuan will really be attacked from both sides.

At that moment, Ma Hongkui had no intention of continuing to drink and eat meat. Ma Hongkui said to Ma Bufang and Ma Biqing: "Brothers, the situation is urgent. I hope you can put the overall situation first and send reinforcements to Shizuishanzi as soon as possible."

"Of course, Shaoyun, please rest assured, as long as I, Ma Bufang, are here, Shizuishanzi will never be lost!" Ma Bufang agreed happily.

At that moment, the four horses divided their troops into two groups. One group was commanded by Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing, who deployed the defense in the east of Yinchuan City and were always ready to counterattack Yongning.

All the way, commanded by Ma Hongbin and Ma Bufang, rushed to the rescue of Shizuishanzi, which had not yet been lost.

At the same time, on the Shizuishanzi battlefield, various units of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army were pouring artillery shells on the Ma Jiajun's positions with tank and artillery regiments directly under their units.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Amidst the violent explosions that shook the earth, Ma Jiajun soldiers were blown to pieces from time to time.

In addition to the artillery bombardment, there were also dozens of Stuka dive bombers and fighter jets from the Northeastern Border Guard in the sky, constantly circling back and forth and swooping down to carry out blanket aerial fire strikes on their positions.

After a violent bombing, the Ma Jiajun's defensive position in Shizuishanzi was already in ruins, and all the trenches, fortifications and bunkers were destroyed.

The artillery fire had just begun to extend, and the deafening shouts of killing from the Northeastern border guards rang out in front of the position.

Under the setting sun, thousands of soldiers from the Northeast Frontier Army came from all over the mountains and fields and launched a tidal wave of attacks on Ma's house.

The surviving Ma Jiajun resisted desperately, and for a while bullets rained like locusts on the battlefield, swishing back and forth.

When the fierce battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, about 3,000 Ma Jiajun cavalry suddenly rushed out and launched a counterattack against the Northeastern Border Guards.

Upon seeing this, the tanks of the Northeast Frontier Army, which were covering the main infantry attack, immediately turned their guns and muzzles to attack the Ma's cavalry.

Thousands of Ma Jiajun cavalry swarmed in with sabers waving, but they were quickly hit by machine gun fire from Northeastern Border Army tanks.

Countless Ma Jiajun cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground and were trampled to pieces by their companions who followed.

As the firepower of the Northeastern Border Guards in front became more and more intense, more and more Ma's cavalrymen fell down. The cavalrymen who followed the charge were hampered and trampled on each other one after another, and the charge was suddenly frustrated.

However, their nightmare was far from over. The Northeast Border Guard tanks that had been conducting strafing fire suddenly rumbled towards them.

The on-board machine guns on the tanks and chariots kept firing like fire hedgehogs. Wherever they went, the Ma Jiajun cavalry were shot and fell from their horses.

This was a one-sided massacre. In the face of the powerful protective capabilities and assault firepower of modern tanks and armored forces, the Northwest Iron Cavalry, which used to roam the northwest and even across the land of China, no longer had the courage it once did and became the target of massacre.

More than three thousand cavalry were almost slaughtered in less than two hours. The corpses of some dead war horses and Ma Jiajun soldiers were crushed into puddles of flesh and blood by tanks and armored vehicles. The scene was tragic, and the disgusting strong smell of blood filled the entire place.

in the air.

"Brothers, charge!" After the tank troops defeated the Ma's cavalry counterattack, the infantry officers of the Northeast Frontier Army cheered with great encouragement, leading their subordinates to intensify their offensive.

The Ma Jiajun suffered a one-sided massacre because of the cavalry. They were already frightened out of their wits and had no fighting spirit. Under the fierce attack of the northeastern border guards, they soon could not hold on and the whole front was shaken.

Almost as soon as the reinforcements led by Ma Bufang and Ma Hongbin arrived, Shizuishan was captured by the Northeastern Frontier Force.

Ma Bufang immediately commanded the infantry and cavalry of the post to launch an attack on the Northeastern Border Guards in an attempt to retake Shizuishan while their foothold was not stable. Unexpectedly, they were hit by the superior firepower of the Northeastern Border Guards.

The attacking troops suffered heavy casualties and were defeated and retreated.

Ma Bufang could hardly believe what he saw in front of him. The elite infantry and cavalry he relied on to start his career were defeated by the superior firepower of the Northeastern Border Guards who had just experienced a bloody battle. They were defeated miserably and completely defeated.

He retreated in defeat.

What was even more shocking was the coordination of infantry and tanks of the Northeast Border Guard that he saw, even though he had long heard that the tanks and armored units of the Northeast Border Guard were extremely powerful.

But I have never been able to see it with my own eyes, so the magnificent scene of hundreds of vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns firing a salvo still caused a strong psychological shock to Ma Bufang and others.

In addition, the firepower of ordinary infantrymen of the Northeast Border Guard is beyond their ability to withstand.

Almost everyone had a submachine gun, and the bullets fired out almost formed a substantial barrage. Any troops who dared to charge fell one after another in front of this barrage. In fact, it was a salvo of Garand semi-automatic rifles.

After the counterattack failed, Ma Bufang ignored Ma Hongbin's obstruction and led his troops to retreat towards Yinchuan in panic. Ma Hongbin had no choice but to gather his troops and retreat.

Shen Ke and others immediately commanded the troops to pursue them fiercely and followed them all the way.

At the same time, Zhang Tingshu, Taodongfan and others also commanded the troops to advance from Yongning County to Yinchuan.

The two sides started a fierce battle in the Wangxing Town area east of Yinchuan. As the fierce battle progressed, the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides became increasingly obvious.

Although the blocking troops of Ma Buqing and Ma Hongkui fought desperately, they suffered extremely heavy casualties under the fierce attack by the combined ground and air firepower of the Northeastern Border Guard Army.

The two sides fought fiercely for a day and night, and news came that Ma Bufang and Ma Hongbin had been defeated from Shizuishanzi.

The troops of Ma Buqing and Ma Hongkui, who suffered heavy losses and were demoralized, were finally defeated by the Northeastern Border Guards.

The whole army retreated towards Yinchuan City.

Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and others immediately commanded the troops to follow and pursue him, inflicting heavy casualties on him along the way. Finally, they joined forces with the North Route Army in Yinchuan and surrounded him in Yinchuan City.

In Guisui City, inside the temporary headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, although it has fallen into the night, the headquarters is still brightly lit.

Zhang Xinghan was sitting in front of the map and smoking, obviously waiting for news from the front line.

Suddenly, Jiang Baili walked in in a hurry, saluted Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commander, news came from the front line that our army successfully defeated Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing's reinforcements and surrounded Yinchuan City!"

"Great." Zhang Xinghan stood up happily after hearing this, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said: "Immediately send electricity to the frontline divisions and strictly order them to defend at all costs and never let the enemy break through. Try to capture them

Encircled and annihilated in Yinchuan City, as long as the main force of the four horses is eliminated, the Western Expedition will be considered a victory."

"Yes!" Jiang Baili happily accepted the order and left.

After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu, Taodongfan and other division commanders immediately held an emergency military meeting and mobilized troops to surround Yinchuan City on all sides.

At the same time, they launched an attack throughout the night, not giving Ma Jiajun any chance to breathe.

All of a sudden, gunshots were fired from all directions at the four gates of the city, cannons were roaring, and shouts of killing were everywhere.

In the city, the four brothers Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongbin, Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing have become ants on a hot pot.

They never expected that the war situation would develop into what it is now, and the most frustrated among them was Ma Bufang.

At this time, he had long lost the confidence and arrogance he had when he first arrived, and was completely beaten out of his mind by the Northeastern Border Guards.

Listening to the increasingly fierce gunfire and shouts of killing outside, Ma Buqing couldn't sit still, stood up, and shouted to everyone: "You guys should make up your mind. Now the Northeast Border Guards have surrounded them." , if this continues, we will all be doomed."

Ma Hongkui looked at Ma Buqing with a pale face and said, "What can you do? There are a hundred thousand troops of the Northeastern Army outside the city."

"Break through, we can't sit back and wait for death like this!" Ma Buqing said.

"Breakout?" Ma Hongbin looked at him with an idiotic look and said, "The tanks and armored troops of the Northeast Border Guard are waiting for us to leave the city to intercept and kill us. If we leave the city now, wouldn't we be throwing ourselves into a trap?"

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to wait here to die?" Ma Buqing was going crazy and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Shut up, I am." Ma Bufang shouted loudly upon seeing this.

"Brother, what do you think we should do?" Ma Buqing's eldest brother, Ma Bufang, was still a little scared and asked timidly.

Ma Bufang looked up at Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin and said: "You two, the situation is critical right now, but we must not sit back and wait for death. As long as we leave Yinchuan, we can go to Gansu and Qinghai to reorganize our troops and deal with the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. You You can’t just give up!”

"Ma Bufang, if you have any idea, just tell him quickly." Ma Hongkui was extremely dissatisfied with Ma Bufang's previous performance in the battle. In addition, he was very confident and arrogant when he first came here, so he was extremely bored with him and called him by his first name. He said angrily.

"I have a way. Although the tanks of the Northeast Border Guard are powerful, their power will be greatly reduced once they enter the city. In addition, their air force cannot take off at night, so tonight is our only chance. If we miss it, we will never have it again. The opportunity breaks out.

We organize our forces to launch several fierce counterattacks against them, attract their tank troops into the city for reinforcements, and then break out from the west and south of the city at night, so we will definitely be able to break out!" Ma Bufang said.

Ma Hongbin and Ma Hongkui looked at each other. At this moment, they had no choice but to nod in agreement with the mentality of giving it a try.

Immediately, the four of them took action separately, and the troops in the command post began to prepare for a breakout and counterattack!
Chapter completed!
