With the strangulation of three columns, the Ma Jiajun in Lanzhou City was completely wiped out.
Some of the more than 50,000 people may have escaped on the periphery, but there were no prisoners.
After the battle, Li Qiufan asked Zhao Gang to lead people to take charge of the work of pacifying the people.
What they didn't expect was that after hearing that the Ma Jiajun was eliminated, all the people cheered.
Ma Jiajun has always acted domineeringly and often bullied the people.
It's just that they have guns, cannons and people in their hands, so the people can only break their teeth and swallow them.
Now that the cancer of Ma Jiajun was finally removed, everyone cheered happily.
"Erhu, have your troops clean up the battlefield quickly, and also search to see if there are any hidden Ma Jiajun soldiers."
"The other thing is to look for Ma Jiajun's arsenal. The old man has given them many good things over the years. Find them all for me!"
Zhao Gang went to take charge of the work of pacifying the people, while Li Qiufan led the troops to clean up the battlefield.
"Commander, a telegram from the Commander of the Second Column of the Military Department!"
Li Qiufan had just finished arranging work when a communications soldier ran over with a telegram.
When Li Qiufan heard the telegram from Wang Beard, he immediately received it in his hands and then started reading it.
"Lu Ming, you immediately take the second column to Haiyuan County. When you arrive, follow Wang Huzi's arrangements and cooperate with his troops to kill Ningma for me!
After reading the telegram, Li Qiufan immediately called Lu Ming and asked him to take the Second Column to Haiyuan County to support Wang Huzi.
After Qingyang and Li Qiufan's troops separated, Wang Huzi led his troops to Guyuan, and then launched an attack with great fanfare.
Due to the sudden incident, Ningma was preparing to go to Lanzhou City for reinforcements. They didn't expect that anyone would come to attack them, so Wang Huzi defeated Guyuan directly.
Wang Huzi then continued to advance northwest with his troops without stopping. After Ningma got the news, he immediately transferred the troops preparing to support Lanzhou City to Haiyuan to block Wang Huzi's troops.
When Li Qiufan sent the telegram, the two sides had already been fighting in Haiyuan for a day and a night.
Moreover, Ningma's troops were already showing signs of fleeing. After learning that Li Qiufan had captured Lanzhou City, Wang Huzi immediately sent a telegram requesting reinforcements so that he could wipe out the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia in one fell swoop.
Originally, Li Qiufan's goal this time was to capture all three horses, but now that Lanzhou City, the throat of the Ma Jiajun's territory, was in his hands, only Ningma and Qingma were left unable to jump.
Moreover, Li Qiufan didn't expect Wang Huzi to be so powerful. Ning Ma was almost unable to bear the fight with just one column.
If he hadn't been afraid that he didn't have enough troops to allow Ningma's troops to escape, he might not have allowed Li Qiufan to send reinforcements.
After understanding the situation, Li Qiufan immediately sent the second column over.
After all, the second column in the battle in Lanzhou City did not contribute much and could set off at any time without rest.
After seeing off the second column, Li Qiufan once again urged the troops to clean up the battlefield.
Now Ningma no longer has to worry about him. He only needs to lead his troops to meet up with the Fourth Column, and then go straight to Xining to eliminate Qingma as well. This operation will be a complete success.
"Commander! Commander! I found something good!"
Just as Li Qiufan was thinking about how to attack Xining, Erhu ran over yelling.
"What are you bluffing about?"
Because he was far away, Li Qiufan didn't understand clearly, so he frowned and glared at Erhu.
"Commander, aren't you discovering something good?"
Erhu, who was scolded by Li Qiufan, felt a little aggrieved, lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"What good stuff?"
Hearing that there was something good, Li Qiufan's frown instantly relaxed, and then he asked Erhu anxiously.
"Commander, come and see for yourself! I promise you will be happy to death!"
Seeing Li Qiufan's anxious look, Erhu smiled and said to him.
"Fuck you! You're the one who died because of your stupidity!"
After hearing what Er Hu said, Li Qiufan kicked him angrily, and then asked Er Hu to lead the way to see what good thing it was.
After arriving at the place, Li Qiufan's jaw almost dropped with joy when he saw the good things Er Hu said.
"Damn it, how could this Ma Jiajun have such a thing?"
Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Li Qiufan said in disbelief.
"That may have been sent by the captain of the transportation team. Ma Jiajun is also a horse player, how could he get this thing!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Erhu spread his hands towards him and said.
"You're really taking advantage of me. I'm really worried that I don't have this thing!"
Li Qiufan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked someone to notify the heavy artillery division to bring the truck over.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, Lao Ma was a little curious about what he wanted the truck for, so he immediately led the team to drive the truck over.
When he arrived, he was stunned. He didn't expect that Ma Jiajun would have heavy artillery, and there were five of them!
There are also some artillery pieces with long and thin barrels and four wheels and seats. I have never seen such artillery pieces before.
"Commander, what is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Seeing the new artillery, Lao Ma jumped out of the car excitedly, came to Li Qiufan and asked him.
"You idiot, you've only seen a few kinds of cannons, but you've never seen a lot more!"
After hearing what Lao Ma said, Li Qiufan looked at him with disgust, and then choked him.
"Ahem, Commander, please tell me quickly!"
Lao Ma coughed twice awkwardly, and then asked Li Qiufan.
"This is a Soviet-made 37mm anti-aircraft gun! It's specially used to fight aircraft!"
Li Qiufan no longer whetted Lao Ma's appetite, and introduced the artillery to Lao Ma.
"Masking...masturbating?"
When he heard that it was a cannon that specialized in masturbating, Lao Ma stuttered a bit and his eyes widened.
"Not bad! But I don't understand why Ma Jiajun has anti-aircraft guns."
"Also, they clearly have five 105mm howitzers. Why were they not used when we attacked the city?"
Li Qiufan looked at the artillery in front of him and fell into deep thought. He really couldn't figure out why.
"Commander, could it be that Ma Jiajun doesn't know how to use it?"
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, Erhu scratched his head and said to him.
"Don't know how to use it?"
Erhu's words stunned Li Qiufan for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"His grandma's! Isn't this what the old man used to fool Ma Jiajun?"
Li Qiufan slapped his thigh heavily with his hand. He seemed to understand what was going on.
"Yes, that should be the case!"
Looking at the two types of artillery in front of him, Li Qiufan smiled and shook his head. He never imagined that the old man would play such a trick with Ma Jiajun.
In the early years, in order to appease Ma Jiajun and let him cooperate with the old fox to stabilize the situation in the northwest, the old man often sent equipment to Ma Jiajun.
The five 105mm howitzers in front of me and the other ten Soviet-made 37mm anti-aircraft guns were given by the old man.
