All the way, the three horses had already lost their will to fight. Now they were desperate and lost the last glimmer of hope. They had no choice but to sit and wait for death.

The morale of the three Ma troops was defeated, and the last battle did not last long. The Red Army attacked in two groups. Seeing that there was no way out of escape, most of the Ma family troops raised their hands to surrender on the spot.

After a few days of struggle, the Ma family army was finally wiped out. The Red Army of Workers and Peasants were happy, but also felt that the battle was not happy enough, and the Ma family army was almost vulnerable.

When gathering the prisoners of war, the three division commanders Cheng Zhigeng, Nie Rongzheng and Liu Zhidan also saw the captured Sanma. They saw that the three of them were covered in dust and looked in a dismay. Cheng Zhigeng and others did not act like a winner, but greeted them very regularly, and then ordered people to send Sanma to the rear, and how to deal with it should be decided by the Party Central Committee.

After annihilation of the Three Horses, according to the original plan, the First Division and the Third Division must transfer their troops south to cooperate with the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division to attack the Central Army, while the Second Division continued to advance westward to eliminate the last force of the Ma family army, Ma Hongkui's troops, and arrive in the northwest in one fell swoop.

In order to rush to the southern battlefield, the cleaning of the battlefield was handed over to Nie Rongzheng's second division. Cheng Zhigeng and Liu Zhidan led the First and Third Divisions to turn south that day and night, and finally arrived at the southern battlefield seven days later.

At this time, on the battlefield in the south, Mao Bingwen's 37th Army and Wang Jun's 3rd Army advanced in two directions. The 37th Army went to Qingyang-Qingcheng-Huachi, and rushed straight from south to north to the Wuqi area. The Third Army went to Qingyang-Qingcheng-Huanxian, preparing to take a detour from the Tiebiancheng west of Wuqi Town to attack with the 37th Army. Hu Zongnan's first army walked behind the two armies to suppress the formation.

Faced with such a situation, the General Command of the Red Army immediately ordered the Fourth Division to go south to Huachi and intercept the 37th Army, while the Fifth Division went west to Tiebiancheng and took the lead in occupying Huan County.

Since the Red Army of Workers and Peasants were prepared before the Central Army set out, both divisions occupied Huachi County and Huan County before the Central Army, completely blocking the forward routes of the 37th Army and the Third Army.

When the Dingbian encirclement and annihilation battle started, the blocking war between Huachi County and Huan County was also launched. Although the number of the Workers and Peasants Red Army was far less than that of the Central Army, its weapons, equipment, military literacy and morale were far higher than that of the Central Army, and one division could block the other army.

Not only is it more than enough to block the war, but even counterattacks can easily defeat the 37th Army and the Third Army. However, the Party Central Committee's strategy is not just to repel the Central Army, but to eliminate its live power as much as possible.

Unlike most armies, the combat policies of the Workers and Peasants' Red Army are mostly focused on annihilation of the enemy's living forces, rather than fighting for a certain piece of territory. As long as you occupy the territory, it is considered a victory.

In terms of ideas, the Red Army of Workers and Peasants have long emphasized that "there are land that loses people, and the people and land are lost; the people and the people and the people and the people and the land are lost." Therefore, they do not care about the gains and losses of a city and a land, but focus on eliminating the enemy.

Because the Red Army is weak and cannot face the enemy head-on, they can only put the enemy into the base area to fight. Now the Red Army is strong and can defeat the enemy head-on, but they cannot defeat it just for the sake of defeat. Only by destroying the enemy's living forces can the Red Army of Workers and Peasants free up more hands to build the base area.

Facing the 37th Army and the Third Army, although the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division can defeat them independently, it is not so easy to annihilate them all, not to mention that behind them is Chang Kaishen’s confidant Hu Zongnan.

Military equipment is far stronger than the Central Army. The blocking war between the Third Division and the Fourth Division is very easy to fight. If you don’t think so in the past, the blocking war will often cause heavy casualties.

From western Jiangxi to northwest, Mao Bingwen and Wang Jun participated in most of the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, and it can be said that they are very familiar with the Red Army. I thought that this time, the Red Army would open the gate and wait for them to enter, and then divide the encirclement and defeat them one by one. Unexpectedly, the Red Army seemed to have changed one by one this time, and directly set up a defensive position on their necessary path to intercept.

Although I had received information that the Red Army had received Soviet aid and its combat effectiveness was not as good as before, the 37th Army and the Third Army still had strong confidence in the offensive and defensive battles between such positions and positions.

As early as the fifth bandit suppression operation, they had seen the positional warfare of the Red Army and lost the guerrilla warfare they were proud of. The Red Army of Workers and Peasants was vulnerable and was driven out of the western Jiangxi area by the Central Army. Then they ran several tens of thousands of miles, like a dog that was stranded.

I originally thought that the Red Army would be able to be wiped out in one fell swoop in the northwest region at the end of last year, but I didn't expect that the Red Army would be rebelled against the generals and lost a total of six elite cavalry regiments. This was the only time since the civil war between the two parties had been eliminated in an established manner.

With the lessons of the past, when facing the Red Army's defensive positions, they did not look down on them. They immediately launched a tentative attack and soon repelled the Red Army. The information they obtained was diverse. The only thing in common was that the Red Army's firepower had increased significantly by more than one step, and all the light and heavy machine guns and cannons were available.

After obtaining this information, Mao Bingwen and Wang Jun even more affirmed the information given to them by the Chairman. The Red Army indeed received a lot of assistance, otherwise it would not have been possible that they would have suddenly become so rich. The number of light and heavy machine guns alone would be amazing.

In terms of military equipment, our side is obviously at the bottom, and few people are willing to participate in this kind of battle. Fortunately, the Red Army lacks military strength. Relying on the original military strength alone is not enough to fight against the Central Army. Moreover, the northwest region has always been vast and sparsely populated. Even if the Red Army is in a strong and powerful military force, it cannot replenish much military strength.

With this mental preparation, Mao Bingwen and his team received the order this time that they would drag the Red Army to death in the northwest region even if they exhausted their troops.

Since it was a waste of money, the Central Army was not so desperate when attacking, and every attack was just enough. A tug-of-war was formed in Huachi County and Huan County areas, and there was a stalemate for a while. Only when they received the urging of the Chairman of the Standing Committee, would they fight hard.

While the Central Army was tug-of-war with the Fourth and Fifth Divisions of the Red Army, the Jinsui Army in the east was watching, and "greeting" each other every day across the Yellow River like neighbors.

After leaving Xianyang, Wang Yizhe's troops, who had originally wanted to cooperate with the Central Army's attack, stopped when they walked to Tongchuan. In addition to being blocked by Luo Guang's troops, Wang Yizhe also met his friend Bai Fengxiang.

Bai Fengxiang has been educated by Guanshou since he was captured in the Wuqi Town Battle. Although he does not need half a day of labor education and half a day of ideological education like ordinary Northeast soldiers, he is educated by 24 hours a day of ideological education.

Regardless of whether you listen or not, the courses every day must be completed. At the beginning, it tortured Bai Fengxiang and the other two very much. Ma Peiqing even shouted to give him a pleasure, but the Datong Party never killed them.

Not only did they not kill them, they also had good food and drinks to entertain, but they had to participate in study every day and had no freedom in their body.

As time goes by, the three of them gradually get used to it, but they still lack interest in learning, especially in political and ideological education, and they show disdain.

No matter how disdainful I was, I didn’t miss the lesson I should have. I gradually learned something in a subtle way, but they didn’t know it yet.

This time, the anti-encirclement and suppression was launched. In order to deal with the Northeast Army in the south, the Party Central Committee also mobilized Bai Fengxiang, not allowing him to participate in the battle, but only let him play his role and help dissuade Wang Yizhe's troops from going north.

After living with the Red Army for several months, Bai Fengxiang knew the current combat power of the Red Army. Not to mention the domestic army, even the Japanese Kwantung Army he had met in the Northeast was not an opponent, so after the Datong Party invited him to participate in the dissuasion of the Northeast Army, he did not hesitate for long.

Although the Northeast Army is divided into various factions, and we have been wandering in the pass for so many years, it is considered a brother in distress. Bai Fengxiang really doesn't want to see his Northeastern brothers fall under the guns of the Red Army.

In addition, the desire to go home is also one of the reasons why Bai Fengxiang agreed to come out to help.

As early as the end of the Battle of Wuqi Town, the slogan of the Red Army's surrender to the Northeast was to fight back to the Northeast. However, the Red Army has been trapped in a small remote area in the northwest, so it was not so easy to fight back to the Northeast.

Seeing that the Red Army had no sign of going north to fight against Japan, there were a lot of resentment among the former Northeast Army officers and soldiers. Bai Fengxiang had heard of some Northeast Army causing trouble and was finally suppressed.

Although the Central Army launched an encirclement and suppression of the Red Army this time, it was actually an opportunity for the Red Army to take the opportunity to expand its territory. When the Datong Party found Bai Fengxiang, it told him very bluntly that after the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the base of the Workers and Peasants' Red Army would inevitably expand to the entire northwest region.

The People's Party is weak and the Datong Party is strong. Only when peace talks about anti-Japanese resistance will it be possible. Even if the Chairman of the Standing Committee is unwilling to resist Japan, the Datong Party can force it to resist Japan with the momentum of a strong military.

A lot of news gathered, in short, after the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the possibility of resisting Japan will be greatly increased. Before this, the Datong Party did not want too much friction with the Northeast Army, which also hoped to resist Japan, so as not to cause the relatives to suffer from the enemy's happiness.

The Datong Party did not want to damage the main force in the future anti-Japanese war, and Bai Fengxiang did not want his brother to fall at the gun of the Red Army. After reaching a common sense, the Datong Party released Bai Fengxiang and sent it to Wang Yizhe's 67th Army.

When he saw Bai Fengxiang, Wang Yizhe was very surprised. When he heard that all the troops participating in the battle in Wuqi Town were wiped out, he thought that Bai Fengxiang had already died in battle. The news of the Red Army after the battle was closed very tightly, so they needed to guess in many situations.

Seeing that Bai Fengxiang was safe and sound, Wang Yizhe was extremely happy, and at the same time he was a little worried, because Bai Fengxiang was sent back by the Red Army, and there were two fierce soldiers in colorful military uniforms around him.
