It was already quite cold in the northwest in November. Ma Jun led a group of officers under him, wearing an extremely eye-catching "SS" style military coat. They climbed a strange rocky hill and used binoculars to look at the war-filled 40 miles west of Liangzhou (Wuwei). Although Ma Jun liked the "SS" style military uniform, he still added some of his own designs when Hyde ordered it. The color and appearance of the military uniform, the brimmed hat, and the iconic long leather boots had not changed at all, except that some elements that were characteristic of the Chinese Empire, or rather, the Flying Tigers Army, had been added. The crest on the big brimmed hat had become a fierce tiger with a pair of strong wings. The collar and shoulder badges of the military uniform were gold, red, orange, and blue respectively, representing the general, colonel, lieutenant, and soldier. On the collar were crossed swords and spears, while the epaulets were five-pointed stars made of gold, silver, copper, and steel to represent the military rank.
Ma Jun had a kind of " bad taste " in his heart. He had always imagined that he could become an all-powerful general during the war. Now that he had such a good opportunity, how could he let it go? In order to show his " identity ", he specially designed a " Grand Marshal " epaulet for himself. The pure gold epaulet had a tiger engraved on it, and the tiger's eyes were actually a pair of sparkling diamonds! Right now, Handsome Ma was wearing the 'grand marshal' military uniform, standing on the hill in high spirits and observing the battle in Shilipu.
It was unknown whether it was Ma Yuanhai's death that provoked Ma Buqing, or whether he was worried that the Red Army would destroy his foundation if they occupied his territory, but the 30,000 elite soldiers under the cover of more than a dozen mountain cannons charged at the Red Army's position again and again. However, they were beaten down again and again by the tenacious Red Army soldiers, leaving behind the corpses of horses and cavalrymen in front of the Red Army's position.
From this defensive battle, the brilliance of Dong Zhentang, who had a professional background, could be seen. First, the deployment of troops was light at the front and heavy at the back. The fortifications built were deployed in depth. When the enemy's artillery fire was ready, only a few observation posts were left on the front line. When the Ma Jia Army's artillery fire was ready to stop and the cavalry began to charge, the Red Army soldiers hiding in the trenches behind rushed to the front line through the "traffic moat" to shoot at the enemy, greatly reducing the casualties of the soldiers. Secondly, the arrangement of the heavy machine gun positions was also very reasonable. Two heavy machine gun positions were set up on both sides of the position. Not only was it beneficial to form crossfire, but it also formed a " fire net " with the light machine guns, greatly increasing the firepower density. It was also convenient for the heavy machine guns to move quickly, so that they would not be tracked by the enemy's artillery fire. This kind of positional warfare was very rare in the 30s and 40s. This fully proved that Dong Zhentang was not only brave in battle, but also good at learning. He was indeed a general who was well-versed in both literature and martial arts.
For the entire morning, the 30,000 elite troops of the Ma Family Army under Ma Buqing's personal command had left thousands of corpses in front of the Red Five Army's position. However, they were unable to attack the Red Five Army's position. Instead, they were robbed of a large number of guns and ammunition by Dong Zhentang's personal counter-charge, allowing the Red Five Army to replenish their forces on the spot. Even after the soldiers of the Red Fifth Army killed the Ma Family Army, they sent people to drag back a few dead horses during the break in the battle. It seemed that they were preparing to improve their food.
Ma Buqing watched as his elite cavalry was defeated by the Red Army. He could not help but fly into a rage. He personally shot two of his trusted officers who led the escape and ordered them not to eat until they took down the 40-mile shop! The " Ma Family Army ", which had gone all out, once again launched a group charge under the cover of more than a dozen mountain cannons. Meanwhile, Ma Buqing's two biplane bomber planes that took off from the Lan Zhou airport also rushed to the battlefield. They cooperated with the ground forces to bombard and fire at the Red Army's position at Shilipu. The casualties of the Red Army soldiers who had no air defense experience began to rise under the low-altitude bombing of the aircraft and the artillery attack on the ground. The elite cavalry of the Ma Family Army also rushed to the Red Army's position many times. Although Dong Zhentang personally organized several counter-charges to beat the enemy back, the huge disparity in strength and firepower made the Red Army's position become precarious.
Ma Jun saw this through the binoculars and knew that it was time for him to perform. With a wave of his hand, Jay Lenko, Zhang Haitian, and the others behind him immediately began to prepare for battle. This time, Ma Jun didn't order all the troops to attack after the artillery destroyed the Ma Family Army's cannons. Instead, he kept bombarding the Ma Family Army's elite cavalrymen on the battlefield. Dozens of powerful heavy mortars blasted the Ma Family Army's elite cavalrymen's offensive formation into pieces and chaos. Dozens of M2HH Browning heavy machine guns were hidden around the artillery position, waiting to surround and annihilate the two biplane bomber.
As expected, the two biplane bomber planes that discovered the artillery position of the Flying Tigers Army immediately turned around and pounced on the artillery position of the Flying Tigers Army. When their flight altitude dropped to only a few hundred meters, Ma Jun, who was personally commanding the air defense operations, gave an order."All machine guns, get ready!”For a moment, dozens of M2HH Browning heavy machine guns let out dull sounds. The thick muzzles pointed at the blue sky and sprayed out dazzling flames. The pilots of the two biplane bomber had never expected to encounter such a fierce " anti-aircraft machine gun " fire on the domestic battlefield. They panicked for a moment, but before they could pull the diving bomber up, hundreds of large-caliber machine gun bullets had already swept across the body of the bomber. Even the two pilots were not spared. They were directly cut into two by the 12.7mm bullets.
Ma Buqing, who was stunned by the fierce bombardment of the Flying Tiger Army's artillery, stared in disbelief with his small and short-sighted eyes at the dozens of mountain cannons that he usually treasured like his own children being blown up by the dense artillery fire. Before he could react, he saw that the biplane bomber that he thought was invincible had also been blown down and turned into two balls of fire. Ma Buqing, who had no idea what was going on, angrily ordered his reserve team, an elite cavalry regiment, to charge at the artillery position of the Flying Tiger Army in an attempt to catch the guys who had ambushed him. However, these people who were attacking them did not seem to notice the large group of soldiers who were riding on horses and waving their sabers. They ignored them and continued to fire at the elite cavalrymen of the Ma Family Army who were already in a mess.
Just as the elite cavalry regiment sent by Ma Buqing to attack the artillery position of the Flying Tigers Army was about to reach the artillery position of the Flying Tigers Army, large trucks suddenly rushed out from both sides. This time, Ma Jun's Flying Tigers Army soldiers were even more impressive. Each truck had two revolving machine guns mounted on the head of the truck. Hundreds of 'revolving machine guns' spat out tongues of fire, sweeping down the elite cavalrymen of the Ma Family Army who were waving sabers. Thousands of cavalrymen advanced one after another and fell to the ground.
After easily wiping out this so-called elite cavalry regiment, the Flying Tiger Army's armored vehicles did not stop. They still used their own " specialty tactic "--more than 150 trucks lined up in a row and rushed toward the Ma's Army, which was in a mess on the battlefield. Relying on their unparalleled firepower, hundreds of machine guns and thousands of submachine guns fired out tongues of fire, like a " reaper ", reaping the lives of the Ma Family Army soldiers.
The shrewd Ma Buqing saw that his defeat was irreversible, so he immediately came up with a plan to escape. Under the protection of dozens of bodyguards, he turned his horse around and fled east. However, Ma Dahunk, who was standing on a high hill and watching the situation on the battlefield, saw the situation through his binoculars. He immediately thought that Ma Qi's eldest son, Ma Bufang's brother, the commander of the 5th Cavalry Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, and the second in command of the " Green Horse ", Ma Buqing, should be among the people who fled. Ma Jun smiled coldly and whispered,""I'm sorry, but you can't be the 'National Strategy Advisor of the Taiwan Presidential Palace and the Central Committee Member of the National Party' anymore. If you're reincarnated as a human in the future, remember to do more good deeds!”
Ma Jun pointed at the fleeing group of people and shouted at Matras, who was once a captain of the German National Army's artillery and the current captain of the Flying Tiger Army's Fire Support Team,""Concentrate the artillery fire and destroy all of these fleeing fellows. Don't let any of them escape!”Matras roared and immediately commanded all the 150mm mortars to adjust their positions. In less than a minute, dozens of shells had already whistled towards the fleeing Ma Buqing. The large area of effect and violent lethality had finally made this evil second in command of the " Green Horse " receive the punishment he deserved!
Just like the battle outside Gulang City, the Flying Tiger Army and the armored vehicles, which were covered in bullets, killed the enemy twice on the battlefield. Except for a few cavalrymen who had caught the opportunity earlier and escaped in the chaos, the thirty thousand elite troops of Ma Family's Army under Ma Buqing's command were all killed by the wheels of the vehicles. However, unlike the Battle of Gulang City, Ma Jun did not leave with his Flying Tiger Army. Instead, he drove more than one hundred and fifty trucks to the hill where he was and surrounded it in a circle like a 'city wall'. Then, he waited for Dong Zhentang's arrival quietly.
Ma Buqing (1901- 1977), also known as Ziyun, was a Hui. He is the eldest son of Ma Qi and the brother of Ma Bufang. In his early years, he joined the Ning Navy with his father Ma Qi and served as battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, and commander. The commander of the 5th Cavalry Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, the deputy commander of the 40th Corps. Lieutenant General of the National Revolutionary Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ma Buqing served as a lieutenant general in the Ministry of National Defense, a national policy adviser to the Taiwan Presidential Palace, and a member of the National Party's Central Committee. He died on February 9, 1977 in Taiwan.
Ma Buqing was in charge of Wuwei from 1931 to 1941. He had done many bad things, but he had also done some good things. For example:
" Initiate Education ": Ma Buqing expanded the organization and activities of the Association for the Promotion of Islam to Gansu Province in the name of setting up a local school. He set up private Qingyun Middle School, Qingyun Primary School and Qingyun Second Primary School in the summer, and served as the principal of Qingyun schools. Later, eight primary schools, including Qingyun No. 3 Primary School to No. 10 Primary School, were expanded, and Shuada Primary School was changed into Suqing Girls 'Primary School, which became the beginning of Hui women's education in Bafang area of Summer. Ma Buqing not only set up education in the summer, but also set up Qingyun Middle School and Primary School in Wuwei and the surrounding areas of Hexi.
" Planting Trees ": Ma Buqing planted many trees on both sides of Urban area streets and outside the city. He took care of them very seriously. If anyone damaged the trees, he would be punished. These trees could still be seen at the T-junction outside the North Gate and on both sides of the road to the new city.
" City Management ": Ma Buqing asked the businesses and households on both sides of the street to prepare a large vat, which was called Taiping Vat. He asked them to fill it with water at all times. Besides sprinkling the water on the street, they were also prepared to put out the fire. If there was no water in the vat or the hygiene in front of the door was not good, they would be punished. If there was a fight, gambling, trouble, theft, robbery, and other people who broke the law and order, they would be severely punished or even imprisoned. The method was purely a forced order, but the effect was very good.）
