Chapter 151: When my allies are in trouble, I remain as still as a mountain
Touying Town.
Ma Guojin was called up from the bed by Ma Guangzong.
"Commander-in-chief, it's bad. The Communist bandits have launched a counterattack. Commander Ma Dunjing is trapped in Sanying Town. The situation is critical."
"what's the situation?"
Ma Guojin, who just woke up, is still a little confused. Wasn’t he fine during the day?
How come the offensive and defensive situations changed after a good night's sleep?
"Can Commander Ma Dunjing's call still be reached?"
"can!"
Ma Guangzong nodded and said, "The call has not been hung up yet. Commander Ma Dunjing is still waiting for your reply!"
"Walk."
Ma Guojin put on a coat at random and took Ma Guangzong to the meeting room and the communications office.
Seeing the telephone receiver on the table, he picked it up immediately.
"Hello, I'm Ma Guojin."
"Commander-in-chief, you finally answered the phone!"
Ma Dunjing on the other end of the phone said excitedly: "Hurry up and send troops to support us, the enemy will attack us soon!"
"Don't be impatient yet."
Ma Guojin frowned and said, "Tell me first, how were you defeated? Even your headquarters was surrounded?"
"this......."
Ma Dunjing was a little hesitant.
"Stop nagging, just speak up!"
Ma Guojin scolded.
"In fact, I'm not sure. In the early morning, the Communist bandits suddenly fired more than 107 rockets."
"It directly stunned the soldiers on the front line, and then they were completely routed and fled in a huge defeat."
"No way! You lied!"
Ma Guojin said decisively.
After fighting the Communist bandits for several months, Ma Guojin knew about the 107 rocket launcher. It was very powerful, but they had more than one position on the front line.
The first line of defense has been breached, but there are still the second and third lines. How can they be defeated so easily?
"Commander-in-chief, I didn't lie to you!"
Ma Dunjing said with a bitter face: "That's what my soldiers told me!"
"I was just pulled out of bed, and before I had time to report to you, I was surrounded by the Communist bandits!"
There was another piece of information that Ma Dunjing did not mention, which was that the leading Communist bandit was driving an armored vehicle.
It had to be an armored vehicle that could fire artillery, otherwise his last two positions would not be so easily breached.
But he didn't dare tell Ma Guojin, for fear that he would not dare to come to rescue him after knowing it.
After hearing Ma Dunjing's explanation, Ma Guojin thought for a moment and said, "Well, you hold on for a while, and I will ask Ma Guangzong to send troops to rescue you!"
"Great!"
Ma Dunjing said excitedly: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. I will hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"
After Ma Guojin hung up the phone, Ma Guangzong asked tentatively: "Commander-in-chief, should I go and gather the troops now?"
"What troops are you gathering? If you leave, who will protect my headquarters?"
Ma Guojin said calmly: "Immediately call back all the garrisons in Xiatuanzhuang and Hongchengzi Village to defend Sanhe Town with all your strength!"
"What!"
Ma Guangzong was surprised and asked, "Commander Ma Dunjing won't save us?"
"save?"
Ma Guojin sneered at Ma Guangzong and said, "I said you are also an old soldier. If you rush in without knowing the enemy situation ahead, what if you get ambushed?"
"Moreover, Ma Dunjing has an entire army of 1.2 men, all equipped with Japanese equipment."
"They were defeated so easily by the Communist bandits. How are you going to save them with less than 10,000 troops with those rotten guns in your hands?"
Ma Guojin's words made Ma Guangzong break out in a cold sweat, and he trembled and said, "What should we do now?"
"The Communist bandits are so powerful, they are probably mobilizing troops again."
"I remember that their Western Route Army had two divisions with more than 20,000 soldiers."
"In the past, they had been using one infantry division to fight us. Now their combat effectiveness has suddenly increased. Do you think another division has also taken action?"
"Probably!"
Ma Guojin nodded: "Well, you should withdraw the troops and strengthen the fortifications first."
"I'll go back and ask Chairman Ma for some reinforcements, and then have someone check on the Communist bandits to see if they've really sent more troops!"
"Ah this..."
Ma Guangzong glanced at Ma Guojin and confirmed that he did not look like he was going to run away, so he agreed and said, "Commander-in-chief, please go and come back soon!"
"Do not worry!"
Ma Guojin assured: "We can't afford to lose two armies in casualties!"
After saying this, he left the command center, took his guard company, and rushed to Ningxia overnight.
Seeing Ma Guojin disappear into the darkness, Ma Guangzong straightened his military uniform and said to the communications soldier beside him.
"Go and convey my military order. All troops outside must return to Sanhe Town immediately to support it!"
...............
Xiagouling is the only way from Sanhe Town to Sanying Town.
The 1st Infantry Division, 1st Brigade, 3rd Regiment, and 4th Regiment were ordered to ambush here.
"Remember, set up all the light and heavy machine guns, and the 45mm flat-fire cannon, aim at the intersection."
"Once the enemy is in the pocket, seal the exit and fire mortars and grenade launchers at the crowd!"
"Okay, stop shouting!"
The commander of the Fourth Regiment, Wang Bao, found Ma Hebei who was making arrangements vigorously.
"what happened?"
Ma Hebei asked in confusion: "Why are you coming to me instead of staying in your regiment?"
"what!"
Wang Bao handed him the telegram in his hand: "An order has come from above. Ma Dunjing has been abandoned. Now the 11th Army has retreated to Sanhe Town."
"Our superiors asked us to go to Sanhe Town immediately and make sure the 11th Army doesn't leave!"
"Damn it."
After reading the telegram, Ma Hebei cursed: "These Ma family soldiers are really worthless. They buy whatever the friendly army says they will buy."
"Okay, stop complaining. The brigade commander told us to get to Sanhe Town by 8 a.m. It's almost 4 a.m. now, so we don't have much time left."
Wang Bao urged.
"understood!"
Ma Hebei agreed and told the signalman beside him, "Go and call the political commissar over."
"Yes."
At the same time, the Second Combined Division, which was besieging Ma Dunjing, also received an order to attack.
"The commander-in-chief means that this is just a siege drill for your combined division. There are no civilians in Sanhe Camp, so you can do whatever you want!"
A communications soldier, holding a letter, spoke to Yang Xiushan, the commander of the Second Combined Division in front of him.
"Tell the commander-in-chief that the synthetic division will complete the mission!"
Yang Xiushan said firmly.
The signalman saluted Yang Xiushan, turned around, mounted his horse, and left.
"Someone, call Liu Zhen over!"
Yang Xiushan instructed the signalman.
Currently, their combined division consists of one brigade and two regiments, one of which is an armored brigade.
It consists of thirty tank destroyer armored vehicles, twenty self-propelled mortar armored vehicles, and ten multiple rocket launcher armored vehicles.
The second regiment is the delta-wing glider regiment, which consists of 36 delta-wing gliders.
The logistics regiment, which was responsible for transporting ammunition and supplies to the combined forces divisions, consisted of fifty tractors and thirty-three donkey carts.
"Master, you called me?"
Armored Brigade, Brigade Commander Liu Zhen came up to Yang Xiushan and saluted.
"We have received an order from above to wipe out all the remaining troops of Ma Dunjing. Do you have the confidence?"
Yang Xiushan asked.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Liu Zhen said simply.
"very good."
Yang Xiushan nodded with satisfaction: "Go down and prepare. At 7 o'clock this morning, we will launch the attack as soon as the sun rises!"
"Yes."
