Chapter 143 Brother 9 blocked the gate of Lanzhou Ma's army
Afterwards, the liaison representative of the First Army also hurried over.
He explained the general reasons for the failure. Of course, he also explained the "remnants of the Nian Army" plot very clearly.
"Chairman Ma, we have all fallen into Song Wenwan's trap this time.
We, the First Army, are willing to compensate your army for its losses with guns and bullets.
For the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance, we have to bear the loss in silence this time.
If you want revenge, you can only wait for a chance in the future. Of course, this is also what Wuhan means."
After saying this, he withdrew. This was because he was afraid that the Ma family army would use him as a punching bag.
He is only responsible for delivering messages here. As for matters concerning future compensation, it is not something that someone of his level can influence. The First Army will send new people.
To be honest, he also looked down on the Ma family army to some extent.
There were nearly a brigade of troops, and they organized two charges within twenty minutes, but they still failed to capture a position of 200 people.
He is still thinking about asking for compensation. If it were him, he would just retire as soon as possible!
But the Ma family army was not capable of doing anything. On the surface, they agreed to the conditions of the First Army.
Then he sent people to the Xiaoyanchuan battlefield to retrieve the bodies.
However, he secretly reorganized 30,000 troops and swore an oath in Lanzhou to massacre Song Wenwan's lair in Gannan.
Unfortunately, before they could leave the city, they found that the city gate was blocked.
"Reporting to Chairman Ma, our East City Gate has been blocked by Song Wenwan's Cavalry Division.
They said, they said they wanted to enter the city to search for the remnants of the Nian Army, and they wanted us to cooperate."
The governor of Gansu Province angrily said, "How many people have they brought? How dare they block the gate of Lanzhou?"
The people below said, "I looked around and there are about 40,000 people."
The governor of Gansu Province was surprised and asked, "What? Forty thousand people came? How come they still have so many cavalry?"
Yes, ever since Song Wenwan changed the cavalry to infantry.
On the surface, the Gansu Army in Gannan only left behind a cavalry division.
Now everyone knows that the First Cavalry Division has been sent to Shaanxi to pick up Song Wenwan.
So, where did these 40,000 cavalrymen who suddenly appeared come from?
They forgot that although Gannan had no cavalry, they had war horses.
Many of the current Gannan coalition forces are former cavalrymen who have been converted into infantry.
Brother Ninth sent out the war horses, and the 40,000 infantry instantly became 40,000 cavalry.
The Chairman of Gansu Province reached the top of the city wall and looked down. There was no need to count, as there were four teams of 10,000 people lined up in neat rows.
He looked down with a telescope and saw that the one leading the team this time was Brother Nine!
His heart was chilled at this moment.
Ninth brother holds a high position in Gannan, and he has the power to order a fight with himself.
There are only 30,000 main forces in our city, while the other side suddenly dispatches 40,000 people. How can we fight this battle?
Although he still has dozens of security teams, unfortunately none of them are near Lanzhou, and this distant water cannot quench his immediate thirst.
His subordinates said: “Chairman Ma, since they only blocked one gate.
Why don’t we rush out from the north and south gates and catch them by surprise…”
With a "slap", the Chairman of Gansu Province slapped him in the face.
He said angrily: "Why are you charging? Even if it is them, there is no ambush prepared at the city gates on both sides.
But they blocked the gate, and we didn't even dare to go out through the main entrance.
How can you have the nerve to claim to be the orthodox one in Gansu Province?
It would be better for me to give my position as provincial chairman to Song Wenwan directly."
With a gloomy face, he looked at the two cavalry divisions of the Gansu Army outside the city, who had already dismounted and built defensive positions.
The people below looked at him and asked, "Chairman Ma, please say something!
As long as you nod, I will rush out and fight him, Song Wenwan."
At this time, a confidential staff officer ran over from the foot of the city.
“Chairman Ma, this is a telegram from Wuhan.
It is said that the Minister of Military Affairs and Mr. Chen, a representative of overseas Chinese, will come to Longshui County to express their condolences to General Song in the near future.
The governor of Gansu Province snatched the telegram and read it carefully twice.
He laughed loudly and said, "Don't be nervous, there will be no fighting, this is someone from the government coming to act as a peacemaker.
Send the original telegram to Brother Nine and tell him that I will be the one searching for the remnants of the Nian Army on his behalf.
When the Minister of Military Affairs arrives in Longshui County, I will send important officials to Longshui to pay him a visit. "
Brother Jiu came here just to scare this ungrateful provincial governor.
Now that the mission is completed, we can go home.
But Sun Desheng and
Hao Dadan, the two of them came together to find Brother Nine.
"Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu, if we just leave without firing a shot, wouldn't that mean we've come here for nothing?"
Brother Nine smiled and said, "How about you two each fire a shot before leaving?"
When the two heard this, they knew that Brother Jiu was teasing them.
There was no choice. Even though they were not satisfied, they had to follow the main force back to Longnan.
Fortunately, Ninth Brother came along today, otherwise, if the two brothers had discussed it, they might have really been able to take over Lanzhou.
But now the national war with the Japanese devils is raging, and if they fight like this, they will immediately be at a disadvantage.
No ordinary person in the country would support the Gannan coalition.
At a time like this, if the greater good is lost, it would lead to disastrous consequences, which Song Wenwan would not allow to happen.
After Song Wenwan's series of moves, the matter was finally not made a big deal and everyone was happy.
The most unfortunate among them was the Ma family army, which lost more than 4,000 soldiers and men.
The most embarrassing thing is that the First Army stationed in Shaanxi has now become the laughing stock of the entire army.
If we were to say who is the most unhappy person here, it would definitely be Song Wenwan.
Damn it, who came up with this stupid idea? Where did the descendants of the Nian Army come from?
If we wait until liberation, how will you let elementary school students write history textbooks?
Song, a reactionary landlord in Gansu, helped the Qing government in 1867 and was the executioner who suppressed the Nian Rebellion?
His grandson Song Wenwan once again raised the butcher knife in 1938 and massacred the descendants of the Nian Army?
If the history textbooks really dared to write this, wouldn't Song Wenwan be doomed?
Isn't this equivalent to nailing yourself to history's pillar of shame, leaving yourself to be despised by future generations?
If that were the case, Zhu Bei would have to take her own children with her and draw a line between herself and him.
Song Wenwan, who received the telegram from the headquarters, was also very helpless.
Although we are the losing party this time, it is for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
He could only swallow his anger for now. As for the future, well, he'll settle it later.
Ma Jiajun: More than 4,000 people have died, and I haven’t said anything yet.
Then why do you say that it is you, Song Wenwan, who suffers in the end?
Song Wenwan: I don’t care. You scared me today. Don’t you know?
He left the main cavalry unit and deliberately changed into the "two-and-a-half-foot" uniform worn by the cadres of the Eighth Route Army.
Song Wenwan walked in the streets of Yan'an County in such a swagger.
He used to come to Yan'an to report on his studies, or he would come at night.
Or they could go to Hengshan, where there is a training base for them to practice.
On several occasions, Song Wenwan met with senior leaders of the central government there.
There is no other way around this. Song Wenwan’s identity is still very special.
In particular, his material support to our party was extremely important.
