Three hundred and sixtieth chapters influence of the slippery head
Although the commander of the 81st Army looked down upon his cunning, cunning, and scheming cousin, they were still a family behind closed doors. Regardless of other things, he had one thing to say:
Yes, Ningxia is the root of everyone. If Ningxia is lost, there will be nothing.
Therefore, although he had concerns, he finally withdrew his Eighty-one Army to Ningxia and took over the front-line defense of Lingwu. The military headquarters entered Lingwu, and the main force of the 35th Division was stationed in Wuzhong Fort until returning to Hamburg.
The 15th brigade expanded and the 60th division was temporarily stationed in Weizhou to the front line of Tonghua.
After the 81st Army was transferred back, because his elder brother served as a shield for him, he immediately replaced his troops from Lingwu to Hui'an Fort with the 81st Army, and even his uneducated and incompetent
The security forces commanded by Shu Shu's eldest son also all withdrew to Hexi to run the so-called contingency rear area.
He retracted the main force of the 11th Army from Yinchuan to Ningshuo and Jinji. His 168th Division and a cavalry brigade were all transferred to the area around Yinchuan. The Ninth Division was temporarily formed.
He was transferred to Dingyuan Camp and temporarily organized the 31st Division and a cavalry brigade to be transferred to Jinji. It can be said that all his main forces were withdrawn to the rear.
The 128th Army, which is being formed, does not even dare to reorganize in Hedong. It simply goes to Alxa Banner to reorganize, so as not to cause some bad effects on northern Shaanxi. The weapons and ammunition stored in Yinchuan, except for some of them, are left behind.
In addition to the ammunition and those transferred to the 81st Army, most of them were also transported to Dingyuan Camp.
While retracting all his main forces to the second line, he also continued to secretly send special envoys to Yan'an, repeatedly stating that he would never engage in friction with northern Shaanxi, let alone attack northern Shaanxi, and would never engage in quarrels with his colleagues. Repeatedly.
It means that all matters between the two parties can be discussed with each other.
In fact, the King of Ningxia is really overreacting. He has not done anything wrong, but he is afraid of someone calling the door. As long as he does not take the initiative to cause trouble at this time, the central government will never take the initiative to provoke him. Not to mention his fighting ability
For troops that are not strong, the central government pays more attention to Qingma.
A cavalry brigade from the Anti-Resistance Alliance was stationed in Yanchi, more to suppress him and warn him not to take the initiative to cause trouble. To be honest, for the two armies of Ningma and Ma, even if one army is added, although the equipment is better than that of Qingma, but with his troops
In terms of combat effectiveness, Yang Zhen really didn't take it seriously.
Although the weapons and equipment of Ningma are all miscellaneous, the equipment of the Ningxia King's troops is indeed much better than that of Qingma, who has never left the northwest. It can be said that it is the most powerful force in many places in the northwest.
The best among them. After all, he has seen the world outside, fought in wars, and gained a lot of benefits because of taking sides.
When I followed the Northwest Army into Henan to participate in the Northern Expedition, and defected to the "Centre" before the Central Plains War, in order to win over this miscellaneous unit in the Northwest Army, I set an example for the various large and small miscellaneous forces that formed the Northwest Army. "
The Central Committee was very generous with this then-division commander of the Northwest Army.
Not only was he about to make a decision to expand one of his divisions into an army, he also allocated 300,000 silver dollars on the spot, plus a thousand new guns and dozens of heavy machine guns, all of which were new guns manufactured by the Hanyang Arsenal."
The central government's move also created immediate results.
During the Central Plains War, a considerable number of small-scale armed forces that were originally attached to the Northwest Army defected to the "Centre" one after another, which directly affected the battlefield situation of the Northwest Army in the Central Plains War. It even accelerated the total collapse of the Northwest Army to a certain extent. And this
A man who stood on the right team made a fortune during the war in the Central Plains.
During the Battle of Tai'an in the Central Plains, his troops captured more than 200 Jin-made submachine guns from the Jinsui Army. While chasing and defeating the Jinsui Army, they also seized a large number of Jin-made 65 rifles and Jin-made submachine guns.
There are also dozens of Jin-made mountain field guns and mortars. They also secretly purchased a large number of Jin-made weapons, especially ammunition, from surrounding friendly Central Army forces.
Although it was immediately reduced to one division after the war, and because of the stalemate with the "Central Government", some of his starting troops were abandoned in Henan. However, the best weapons and elites in the army had long been secretly packed up and shipped to Suiyuan.
In return, its strength did not suffer much loss at all.
In addition, after returning to the northwest, in order to protect themselves, he colluded with the Shanxi king and purchased a large number of weapons and ammunition from the Taiyuan Arsenal using the opium produced in Ningxia as a means of payment. And after the Xi'an Incident, he took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and steal weapons from the Northeast Army in various areas in the northwest.
There is a lot of inventory in the warehouse.
The "Central Committee" didn't trust them, they were no-nonsense. Although they used them, they had to be on guard against them. And he also distrusted the "Central Committee". After returning to Ningxia, he used the opium produced in Ningxia to find ways to buy another batch of weapons. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, everything
Before all outsourcing channels were blocked, he had already accumulated enough capital.
Even if Chongqing does not reissue him a single gun or ammunition, his inventory of weapons is enough to form two armies. The 11th Army, his starting unit, all has Hanyang-made rifles, Jin-made rifles and Jin-made submachine guns. The platoon has light equipment.
Machine guns, the battalion has heavy machine guns, and the regiment has mortars.
The number of heavy machine guns in one division of the army almost exceeds the number of heavy machine guns in the entire Qingma Eighty-second Army. The scale and number of mountain artillery directly under the army is almost double the total artillery of the two Qingma armies combined.
And the quality of the artillery is better than Qingma.
Its most core specialized troops are the three special agent battalions that guard his home and home, and the two special agent regiments affiliated to the Ningxia Provincial Government. Except for one regiment, which is equipped with Soviet-made rifles and heavy machine guns obtained from the Northwest Army.
, the rest of the troops collected Gong-made rifle machine guns and Gong-made Borgman submachine guns from the Northwest Army. All officers were equipped with Gong-made and Jin-made shell guns.
Although all the benefits of the battle between the four horses and the sun were taken away by Qingma, and he was left with nothing, the king of Ningxia still had a strong foundation. Even his security forces were all equipped with Gong Zaoqi.
Nine rifles, Soviet-style Maxim heavy machine guns.
It's just that the "Central Government" is too stuck and has always strictly controlled the numbers. And Ningxia is too poor to support too many troops. Therefore, its core force only has the 11th Army, plus the newly established
The 128th Army is only two armies. But although the army only has two armies, the more weapons and equipment the better.
It's just that although Ningma's equipment is far better than that of Qingma, which has never been outside the northwest, its combat effectiveness is quite poor compared with Qingma. Moreover, the central government also believes that Ningma still has the possibility to fight for it, so it only gives
He applied some pressure, warning him not to try to fish in troubled waters.
The combat effectiveness of Ningma is far inferior to that of Qingma, and there is still the possibility of fighting for it. Therefore, neither the central government nor Yang Zhen take the possible threat from Ningma too seriously. The focus of defense adjustments is still to target Qingma who enters Longdong.
Horses. Even if the cavalry brigade was stationed in Huan County, it was mainly targeting Qingma.
In order to prevent the Anti-Japanese Alliance from transferring troops and acting without permission, causing some conflicts that should not occur. Before the cavalry brigade and the armored brigade were transferred to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, Yang Zhen rushed to the meeting in Yan'an in person despite his busy schedule.
Ning, talk to the brigade commander, political commissar and cadres above the regiment level.
Tell them clearly that when they arrive in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, they will obey the command of the left-behind regiments. Issues of negotiation with the ministries in the Kuomintang-controlled areas will be resolved by the central government. But once someone dares to attack northern Shaanxi at this time, they will be eliminated at all costs. In a word, they are
The words: "If the enemy does not attack me, I will not attack others. If the enemy attacks me, he will take the blame." Yang Zhen responded to the chairman's famous saying, but it further showed his determination.
However, in terms of combat command, you must obey the orders of the Central Committee and the left-behind corps. You must not make decisions without permission, let alone take the initiative to cause trouble. If someone disobeys the leadership of the Military Commission and the left-behind corps, no matter who is involved or how high their position is
, they will all be removed from office on the spot.
In other words, as long as this man doesn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, nothing will happen at all. I really don't know what he is afraid of. Maybe he is worried about his land, although the land is barren and the people are poor, the area is not large, and the products are not rich.
I take it too seriously. Although Ningxia is very poor, no matter how poor it is, it is still home.
Without territory, it means that there is no gun barrel, and without the gun barrel, it means that you can't even be a grass-head king. Not only did the elite of the Anti-Japanese Alliance come out of the salt pond, but the king of Ningxia felt in danger. At the same time, the Central Army
After stationing at the junction of Gansu and Ningxia, he was even more stressed.
Yang Zhen only mobilized one armored brigade and one cavalry brigade and entered the Qingyang area of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. All the ideas of Chongqing were mixed into a mess. The following two horses' naughty moves also made it a mess.
The highest authority in Chongqing is really very angry.
Having been overtaken by Yang Zhen, Ning Ma no longer even thought about dealing with the situation. Although the transfer of an army back ostensibly increased the number of troops deployed in western Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, in fact, his thoughts were more on himself.
Look after the home and the hospital, and at the same time silence the Central Army.
Not only did Qingma send an army with few usable guns, but after the Anti-Japanese Alliance arrived in Longdong, the first thing they did was to shrink their troops. They were boasting loudly, but now they are shrinking.
Turtle. Apart from having to replenish equipment at the "Central" all day long, he basically never leaves the east bank of the Pu River.
The current overall situation has made the highest authority want to use Qingma, Ningma and Northern Shaanxi to fight each other. His idea of cleaning up the mess has completely failed. At present, his deployment in the northwest has become
Instead of attacking the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, we are trying to find a way to prevent the anti-alliance armor and cavalry troops from entering northern Shaanxi, which may seize territory next.
And Ningma was definitely not the only one who overreacted. After the troops sent by Yang Zhen entered Longdong, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Theater, who was highly regarded by the highest authorities in Chongqing and was known as the emperor's first disciple, immediately changed his original attitude.
deployment.
With the elite troops of the two group armies in his hands, he did not mobilize his troops to deploy to the outskirts of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. Instead, he continued to use his brains on the two horses. He thought he should let the two horses charge into the battle for him, or resist the attack of northern Shaanxi.
The idea of pressure. The Central Army troops under his subordinates are still placed in the rear.
Not only did he report to the Military Commission to transfer all the Qingma Cavalry Division currently in the First Theater Command back to Longdong, but he also used his status as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Theater Command to forcibly transfer the Qingma Cavalry Division from the Forty Group Army that was part of the Eighth Theater Command.
The Fifth System Cavalry Corps was also transferred to the Longdong battlefield. It also made an exception and replenished a batch of equipment for Qingma, supplementing the newly formed 129th Corps into a fully-staffed corps.
However, this man's move and generosity were not out of any good intentions. Rather, he still did not want to let other people block the bullet holes for him, and he was directly responsible for supervising the battle in the rear. If Chongqing ordered an all-out attack on Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, let Qing Qing
Ma and Ningma took the lead for him.
Once Northern Shaanxi launches an attack on Longdong at this time, the two armies of Qingma and Qingma will first consume the strength of the Anti-League and delay the offensive of the Anti-League, and then his Central Army will step in to clean up the mess. After this battle, regardless of whether the two horses and the
Whoever wins or loses in northern Shaanxi, he will reap the benefits.
