The reason why the Ma Jiajun is strong in combat is not only well-trained, but also adopts a religious leadership style. Otherwise, the Ma Jiajun's military morale would have been shaken due to its disadvantage. Even so, the Western Expeditionary Army captured Shaanxi in one go and dispatched troops Stabilize the situation in Shaanxi as a whole. As for some powerful armed forces in Shaanxi, there is basically no resistance and they all expressed their willingness to accept the leadership of the National Defense Army.

Choosing Feng Yuxiang as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition now seems to be correct. Shaanxi in the northwest is better, but in Ningxia, Gansu and other places, the cultural economy is very backward. The people are uneducated, have very poor discernment ability, and have very strong resistance to new things. Feng Yuxiang It started in the northwest. Speaking of which, the Ma Jiajun in the northwest was still Feng Yuxiang's old unit. Therefore, when they reached Ningxia, the National Guard Army was able to mobilize the people to repair the roads destroyed by the enemy.

The headquarters sent a telegram to the Western Expeditionary Army, asking them to pay attention to publicity, cultural policies, and many other matters while ensuring the speed of the troops. Jia Cai said: "Propaganda alone is not enough, the benefits must be realized, and five more troops will be sent." The Wan Construction Corps followed closely behind and widened the roads wherever they passed, which can play a role in promoting local economic development. After all, roads are the first priority for economic development."

Liu Tianling nodded: "Then you start to mobilize the Construction Corps and move some excavators, cranes and other heavy machinery to let the people in the northwest take a look and open their eyes. I will arrange another twenty propaganda teams to follow the Construction Corps and pass Propaganda to the people through drama performances, movies, etc.,"

If the Western Expeditionary Army fights in the front, there will naturally be people behind to take over the territory. If it were in the past, the Western Expeditionary Army would have to be anxious in this situation. However, the National Protectorate Army implements the separation of local and military forces. Even if the army is stationed in a province, there will be no The right to collect local grain taxes, so that the military and local areas are separated, and the army no longer regards the local area as private property, which is conducive to unified management.

The troops fought four large-scale battles with the Ningxia Majia Army in Ningxia, defeating the main force of Ningxia in one fell swoop, and the remaining cavalry of more than 10,000 people fled into Lanzhou, Gansu Province.

The road from Ningxia to Lanzhou was seriously damaged and light tanks had to be repaired to pass through. In order to better protect the road safety, Yang Dong was sent to lead a reorganized cavalry division, and with the cooperation of twenty helicopters, they headed for Dingxi, the gateway to Lanzhou.

It is already spring season, and the grass has already grown along the eastern coast, but the roads here are still very desolate, with wasteland everywhere, and no farmland or homes can be seen for dozens of miles.

More than 15,000 cavalrymen climbed over a mountain. In front of them was a nice grassland. More importantly, there was a river with clear drinking water flowing. Helicopters circled and searched for dozens of miles nearby, but no potential dangers were found. In response to the threat, the military doctor accompanying the army conducted tests and tests on the drinking water. At the same time, several war horses were asked to drink the water first. If there were no problems, they reported it to Yang Dong.

Yang Dong looked at his watch. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still three hours of darkness.

"Go down with the order, rest where you are, and let the war horses eat grass and drink water," Yang Dong gave the order.

We have walked more than a hundred miles today. It is difficult to find a place to camp. The cavalry consumes a lot of money. Corn and soybean meal are provided by logistics, but fresh grass can only be provided along the way, so Yang Dong fell in love with this area. place, I plan to spend the night here today.
