The surrender of the Maqin City defenders allowed the Western Sichuan Army to enter Maqin City on the night of April 12th. All prisoners were taken into custody. Of course, those who were willing to join the Western Sichuan Army were all added to the Western Sichuan Army.
The 11th Brigade. In the battle to attack Maqin, the 11th Brigade still suffered a lot of losses. The first battalion of the 11th Brigade was almost crippled, and a large number of soldiers were needed to supplement them. If these prisoners could be guaranteed to survive
If you are loyal, he is undoubtedly a very good candidate to replenish your troops.
After the great victory at Dongqinggou, the Qingma Army only had a few thousand defeated soldiers left. It can be said that it existed in name only and was nothing to worry about. The enemies that western Sichuan faces now are mainly the Hezhou Majia Army and the Ningma Army.
The number of Ma Jiajun who attacked this time exceeded 40,000. It was still a tough battle for the Western Sichuan Army. However, with the victory in Dongqinggou, the 4,000 Western Sichuan Army defeated the 16,000 Green Horse Army. This was a big blow.
It enhanced the confidence of the soldiers. Although the enemy was outnumbered, in everyone's eyes, they were still like chickens and dogs.
Maqin City was attacked by the Western Sichuan Army, and most of the city was destroyed. Two brigades of the Western Sichuan Army moved into it, but they could not find intact houses to house them, so they might as well be stationed outside the city. Therefore,
In addition to sending a small number of troops into Maqin City to guard the prisoners, the main forces of the 10th and 11th Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army are still stationed outside the city, waiting for the arrival of the Ma Jiajun. Ma Haiyan must have tried every means to suffer such a big loss.
They have to get it back. The Western Sichuan Army can just wait for work to fight against the Ma Jiajun in Maqin City.
"This time, the 10th Brigade defeated the Qingma Army in Dongqinggou. The battle was very beautiful. I have sent the battle report back, and there are also reports for everyone to take credit. I believe that after this battle, everyone will
They can all get generous rewards." Cai Yun said with a smile.
Everyone is full of joy, including the generals of the 11th Brigade. Although they have just joined the Western Sichuan Army not long ago, victory is undoubtedly the best aid to accelerate integration. As the Western Sichuan Army
Victory after victory gave these surrendered generals a greater sense of identification with the Western Sichuan Army. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Since the ship of the Qingma Army and even the Majia Army is no longer reliable, it is better to change it to another one.
A bigger and sturdier ship, so what's wrong with that?
Zhao Bowen, Tashi Dorje and Li Zhuo of the 10th Brigade were the happiest. Zhao Bowen was a brigadier general. With this victory, he believed that he would be promoted to major general and become a real general instead of a reserve general. He
I heard that Western Sichuan is now secretly recruiting soldiers. There will definitely be more and better positions by then. If he can be promoted, his future will be bright. Both Tashi Duoji and Li Zhuo have the rank of colonel. This time
If they can advance to one level, the two of them can be considered as reaching the level of generals. You know, the entire Western Sichuan Army does not have many generals now!
"However, everyone should pay attention. Although we defeated the Qingma Army in Dongqinggou, the enemy is still powerful. Preliminary estimates show that the enemies we face still have 40,000 people. Now the 10th and 11th Brigades have added
There are only 17,000 people in total, so we are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. However, the main force of the fourth brigade is already on the way. The four main cavalry battalions plus some troops directly under the brigade have a total strength of more than five
Thousands of people. In this case, we will have an army of more than 20,000 people. With our combat power, there is no problem in defeating the Ma Jiajun." Cai Yun said.
No one was afraid or even excited about the coming battle. The Ma Jiajun was simply vulnerable to the Western Sichuan Army. Those Ma Jiajun were just here to increase their military exploits.
"Then, let's face the Ma Jiajun in Maqin City! As long as we win this battle, Qinghai and Gansu provinces will be ours. I promise that I will report your contribution to the commander in time!" Wang Yuze also said
said.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Even if it is to protect the family and the country, who among the soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army does not desire to move to a higher position! Now with Wang Yuze's guarantee, this makes them even more excited.
"Okay, let's disperse! All departments need to rest and recuperate. We will face a big battle in at most two days! Ma Qi, please stay here!" Cai Yun finally said.
"Yes!" Everyone paid a military salute to Wang Yuze and Cai Yun, and then exited the military tent one by one. Only Ma Qi stayed.
"Sit down, Ma Qi. Don't be so formal. We are a family now!" Cai Yun said with a smile.
"Brother Ma, I know you feel a little uncomfortable now. However, this is the reality. If Western Sichuan wants to compete for the world, it must defeat other armies. Since you are now a member of the Western Sichuan Army, you should stand in Western Sichuan
Consider it from the perspective of the army. Of course, after we defeat the Ma Jiajun, if your father does not continue to resist, we will not do anything to him!" Wang Yuze said.
"Young Marshal, I know who I am now. However, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart!" Ma Qi replied. Anyone who wants to meet his father on the battlefield will probably not feel too good.
"Let's do this! If you find it difficult to do it, you can go back to Qamdo first and come back after the war is over!" Cai Yun suggested.
"No need, Chief of Staff. I believe I can handle it well. I am no longer the young master of the Qingma Army. My identity is the brigade commander of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army." Ma Qi said firmly.
"Very well, Brother Ma, it is undoubtedly the best if you think so. I am looking forward to your performance. You go back and tell Wang Wei so that he can come back. I am really not used to it without him!"
Wang Yuze said with a smile.
"Yes, Marshal!" Ma Qi said after receiving the order. Of course he knew very well what role Wang Wei played in going to the 11th Brigade. Now that Wang Yuze has recalled Wang Wei, he undoubtedly completely believes in him and the 11th Brigade.
of the generals, which moved Ma Qi very much.
Different from the joy after the victory of the Western Sichuan Army, the atmosphere over the Ma Jia Army was a bit bleak. Ma Haiyan took the remaining defeated soldiers and retreated to a place called Kaicuo, where he met up with the Hezhou Ma Jia Army and Ning Ma Army. However,
, Hezhou Ma Jiajun and Ningma Army were both very shocked after learning about the Qingma Army's defeat.
"Uncle, is the Western Sichuan Army really that powerful?" The speaker was a young man in his thirties, with a dark complexion but a very burly face. He was Ma Guoliang, the younger brother of Ma Anliang, the current governor of Gansu.
The second son of Ma Zhan'ao, the deceased founder of Ma Jiajun, was only thirty-three years old this year.
"The Western Sichuan Army has been able to fight the Qing court for decades with more than 100,000 troops, and has always had the upper hand. Naturally, they have their advantages. However, Qinghai is the place of our Ma family.
No matter how powerful they are, we will fight them to the end!" Another middle-aged man with a mustache said, his name is Ma Fulu, he is thirty-seven years old and the eldest son of Ma Qianling, the Ningxia Protectorate Envoy.
"Two good nephews, the firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is strong, but it is not invincible. I made a mistake this time! After all, the place where we fought with the Western Sichuan Army is narrow, and our cavalry cannot give full play to its advantages. We can only use our flesh and blood to fight hard.
The powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army! If we moved to a place with open terrain, we would not have this problem!" Ma Haiyan said sadly. Because of his own reasons, tens of thousands of Qingma troops died on the battlefield, leaving him
Very heartbroken!
"Uncle, don't worry. The deaths of our brothers will not be in vain. According to the intelligence we received, the Western Sichuan Army has now gathered around Maqin City. The open terrain there is just suitable for our cavalry to attack. We will send troops immediately and try to arrive tomorrow.
Ma Qin, fight to the death with the Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Guoliang said.
"Yes, let the Western Sichuan Army know the power of our Ma's cavalry this time." Ma Fulu also said. The Ningma Army always regards the Hezhou Ma's Army as their leader. Ma Fulu has never fought against the Western Sichuan Army, so he still somewhat despises it.
"Then I will rely on my two wise nephews!" Ma Haiyan said. Now the Qingma Army exists in name only. If we want to defeat the Western Sichuan Army, we can only rely on the Hezhou Majia Army and the Ningma Army.
"Uncle's words are serious!" Ma Guoliang and Ma Fulu both said quickly.
Afterwards, the three Ma Jiajun families joined forces, a total of 40,000 people, and marched towards Maqin in a mighty manner!
