    Chapter 326 No mercy

    The *** division troops concentrated all their mortars at the south gate of Anding Fort, a total of sixty-eight. Unfortunately, there are no large-caliber artillery, and the supply of artillery shells is absolutely sufficient. Even if all the mortars are fired  Even if it's scrapped, it's more than enough.

    There were more than ninety light and heavy machine guns, which blocked the two fort gates in the north and south. Tang Qiuli had no intention of letting the troops attack the firmly fortified Anding Fort. In that case, the troops would suffer heavy casualties. After all, they were not a pure field force.  .

    The cavalry and the guard brigade fought positional warfare, which originally used shortness to overcome strength. They relied on the absolute superiority of firepower. Sixty-eight mortars and sufficient artillery shells reduced the small Anding Fort to rubble. There was no problem at all.  No, why use the precious lives of soldiers to embody the so-called brave spirit?

    When the Ningdong Security Brigade sentry sent out alarm shots, Ma Chaozong was mobilizing his men before the war.

    This guy's pre-war mobilization was also unique. He rode a tall horse, looked fiercely at the more than 4,000 cavalry in neat rows, and asked loudly: "Brothers, can you bear the life of no wine, no meat and no women?"  ?" The Ma Jiajun cavalry below replied loudly, "I can't stand it!"

    Ma Chaozong looked at his subordinates' emotions with satisfaction. He was provoked by himself. He pointed in the direction with his hand: "There is everything the brothers want. It is available in Dingbian City. It depends on whether the brothers dare to grab it.  To seize it?¡±

    "Dare! Dare!" Ma Jiajun cavalry shouted in unison, like a group of bloodthirsty wolves, as if they saw gold and silver treasures, plump and beautiful women right in front of them. These guys, doing this kind of thing is commonplace, remote and isolated  The small town of Dingbian has become a piece of fat in their eyes.

    "Okay, brothers, let those Han men tremble under our sabers, and let their women scream under our brothers, let's go!" Ma Chaozong had just given the order when a gunshot sounded, scaring him.  Stirring.

    A few sentries came over like somersaults, "Brigade, brigade commander, something bad has happened, we are surrounded! There are thousands of people and horses, both at the south gate and the north gate, and there is a big black thing.  "

    Ma Chaozong was stunned and cursed: "I'm so fucking confused. Thousands of men and horses are coming. Did they fall from the sky? Are they eyeballs and penises?"

    "Reporting to the brigade commander, they are from the Central Army. They are all wearing the clothes of the Central Army," the sentry replied tremblingly, looking at Ma Chaozong with a fierce look in his eyes.

    ??Central Army?  No matter how hard Ma Chaozong thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. He had never touched a hair of the Central Army. Where was the knot?  Besides, how many thousands of Central Army troops had wings to fly to this desolate salt flat?

    There was no time for him to think about it carefully. There were strange whistling sounds in the air, and a group of mortar shells, like black storks, passed over his head. The sharp whistling sound made the hair on his body stand up.

    Fortunately, the mortar shell passed over the heads of thousands of Majia troops and exploded in the distance. At that time, plumes of smoke rose up, and the building collapsed amid the violent explosion.

    Ma Chaozong then realized that the opponent was serious about it. Fortunately, the cannon shot was not accurate. He rolled off the saddle and dismounted, shouting loudly: "Hurry and take cover!" He knew his stuff and knew that this thing was powerful.

    Those Ma Jiajun cavalry who have seen this battle and only heard the sound of guns, what is this rumbling thing?  Why did the brigade commander become so frightened?

    This is also to blame in the northwest at that time. The equipment level of the warlords' troops was too poor. A division with a few mortars was pretty good. Light machine guns provided heavy firepower. The Ningdong Security Brigade was even worse. The whole brigade even had one mortar.  None. No wonder these bandit soldiers don't recognize mortar shells.

    Ma Chaozong thought wrong. It wasn't that the enemy's artillery fire was inaccurate. Tang Qiuli wanted to use intensive artillery fire, indiscriminate bombardment, carpet bombing from north to south, and destroy every inch of land in Anding Fort.  Covering it with artillery fire is called catching a turtle in a urn.

    The artillery observers at the north gate kept reporting the impact points, and the flying artillery shells gradually pressed towards the Ma Jiajun cavalry team concentrated in the middle of the fort. They looked at the smoke columns rising into the sky, the deafening explosions, and the collapsed houses one after another. These habits  The bandit soldier who was slashing people with his saber finally realized that something was wrong.

    He hurriedly moved his horse and fled in all directions to avoid this terrifying steel storm. This thing was not something that the guy in his hand could withstand. The battle was suffocating, and a large part of the house was destroyed without even seeing a single person on the other side.

    The bombardment lasted for more than two hours, and more than 10,000 shells fell into the Anding Fort, which was less than two kilometers in radius. The fort was filled with smoke and dust, and the explosion caused a fire, with flames rising and black smoke billowing.

    The artillery plowed the Anding Fort several times, and every square meter was hit by almost one artillery shell. All the surface buildings in the fort were destroyed and turned into piles of rubble and ruins.

    There are quite a few bandit soldiers from the Ma Jiajun,They climbed up the fort wall, knocked them down fiercely, and fired outside. It was all a futile death struggle. Their bullets could not reach the Japanese division's position at all. Instead, they were blasted into pieces by mortar shells, and followed the fort wall.  Broken bricks and rocks flew into the air, and broken limbs and limbs flew around inside and outside the fort wall.

    The spectacular scene of the shelling completely petrified the Red Army soldiers. They had seen this kind of fighting method before. They neither charged nor attacked the city, but just bombed the city with artillery shells, as if the shells were picked up casually from the ground.  Stones, no money.

    During the fifth siege of the Central Soviet Area by ***, they had never seen this kind of artillery bombardment. They didn¡¯t yell or scream anywhere, they just watched blankly as the shells flew into the fort screaming.  Boxes of shells were emptied from the truck.

    They suddenly felt very distressed. They were all prodigal sons. If the Red Army had so many cannons and artillery shells, what the hell was Chiang Kai-shek's million-strong army? They could be destroyed with just one shell, and they still had to travel 25,000 miles to get here.  Settled in a barren and remote place.

    The shelling stopped, the barrels of the mortars turned red, the smoke in the fort was gradually blown away by the wind, the battlefield fell silent, there was an unbearable calm, and the inside of the fort was even more silent, revealing deceit and abnormality.

    Tang Qiuli absolutely didn¡¯t believe that more than 4,000 horse bandit troops were all killed by artillery shells, not even a single wounded person was left?

    He ordered the troops to attack the north and south fort gates to prevent Ma Chaozong from leaping over the wall, and to break through with his remaining troops with his remaining troops. He must not be careless.

    The crumbling North Fort Gate, which was already in tatters, was suddenly rushed open, and more than 400 cavalrymen rushed out like a gust of wind.

    The bandit soldiers on horseback skillfully controlled their horses, shooting while running, shouting fanatically, and with a fierce momentum, they rushed towards the blocking position at the north gate like a wild wave, hoping to break through the position in one fell swoop.  It means to leave the dust.

    Ma Chaozong insidiously chose to break out from the North Fort Gate. He believed that it was not the main direction. The ruthless Central Army must have neglected to take precautions. He wanted to escape, but he had not lived enough yet, so he told his uncle the news.  Please ask this old man to uphold justice and avenge this blood feud.

    When the bombardment started, Ma Chaozong forced part of the troops onto the fort wall, and then, with more than 400 confidants, hid in a large cellar in the fort, and even brought in the war horses.

    The continuous rumbling explosions above their heads made these guys miserable, as if they were sitting in a stormy boat, helplessly letting the wind and waves hit them. They were really worried that the ground above their heads would collapse and they would be buried alive here.

    The shelling stopped and there was no movement around. Ma Chaozong believed that the time had come and started to break out with his remaining men.

    It's a pity that Ma Chaozong's wishful thinking was wrong again. On the way to break out, a hail of bullets was prepared for his death. Dozens of light and heavy machine guns roared wildly, the sound was as scary as a typhoon, like locusts.  The hail of bullets engulfed them in an instant.

    After the battle, corpses and dead horses were piled on top of each other outside the North Fort Gate, and blood solidified on the ground. The Ma Jiajun bandit soldiers who rushed at the front were beaten into pieces by bullets, and their original appearance could no longer be distinguished.

    Ma Chaozong and several regiment leaders and cronies who rushed at the back were lucky enough not to be killed on the spot by bullets that looked like metal walls. They were all slightly injured and lay in a pool of blood, screaming loudly. These guys,  When had I been treated like this? The gun in my hand had been thrown away long ago, and only the loud howling was left.

    The soldiers rushed over, dragged these guys up, and brought them to the division commander. Tang Qiuli looked coldly at the leaders of the Ningdong Security Brigade who were covered in blood, and asked softly: "Is that Ma Chaozong?  "

    Several guys were so frightened that they forgot to howl and did not make a sound. They just glanced secretly at a big man with a fleshy face and a beard. At the same time, the gold star on his collar badge also revealed his identity.

    Ma Chaozong couldn't hide it when he saw that he was pretending to be his grandson. The guys who usually wanted to dig out their hearts to show their loyalty had betrayed themselves. He might as well come here as a hero. After all, I am also a major general of the ***. At this time, he remembered his identity.  coming.

    Ma Chaozong stiffened his neck and spoke with fierceness: "I am Ma Chaozong, and you are also a member of the Communist Army. How could you do such a cruel thing to friendly forces? I will go to Chairman Ma of Ningxia to accuse you. Just wait until you go to the military court."  ! My uncle can¡¯t spare you!¡±

    Tang Qiuli was a little surprised. This guy with a fierce face and a gangster spirit also knew that there was a military court?  This was new. He didn't know that his crime was enough to go to military courts n times. It would take a box of bullets to kill him.

    After Ma Chaozong finished speaking, he stared fearlessly with a pair of bull's eyes, looked at Tang Qiuli fiercely, and made his identity clear. With the big tree like uncle, the little white-faced Lieutenant General in front of him did not dare to touch him.  How about it.

    Tang Qiuli just smiled coldly, and Ma Chaozong's heart tightened suddenly.Shrinking, he saw the bone-chilling chill and incomparable contempt in the eyes of the *** lieutenant general, as if he were looking at a corpse.

    Ma Chaozong suddenly lost confidence in the big tree he relied on, which was as omnipotent as God's uncle.

    Near the salt pond, there is an unknown earthen fence. The strong wind outside the Great Wall has rolled up the salt-alkali fine sand all over the sky, and a fluffy alkaline grass. I try hard to straighten my fragile branches, sitting helplessly fighting against the strong wind.

    The traces of the bloody battle the day before yesterday have been submerged in the long yellow sand. Only the numerous bullet marks on the wall tell the story of the life-and-death struggle that day.

    Ma Chaozong struggled fiercely. He understood everything. His way of survival was cut off. Even the almighty God could not save his life.
