Continue north.

There is flat wilderness along the way.

Thousands of miles of fertile wilderness.

Things are prosperous and people are prosperous.

Originally, March in spring should be a good time for spring plowing.

In normal times, there should be a large number of people working hard in the fields on both sides of the road.

However, at this moment, what Zhang Yong saw was desolation.

There are only sparsely populated areas.

If you look closely, they are all old people. There are no young adults or women.

As the invaders gradually approached, more and more people left their homes and fled westward.

Panic will spread.

Especially after the fall of Jinan.

Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province and was occupied by Japanese invaders, let alone other places?

It is estimated that no national army can give the people the confidence to win.

Even if someone stays, the young and middle-aged people among them will be recruited by the army and then taken away by force.

Especially in Han Fuju's army, the phenomenon of recruiting strong men is very common. The morale of the army is also the most unstable. It requires high pressure to barely maintain it.

If it were in the past, Zhang Yong would of course hate the phenomenon of prostitutes.

However, now, I have mixed feelings, only bitterness.

Taking young adults away is a basic operation. You can't leave it to the Japanese invaders, right?

The Japanese invaders could not leave China's young adults alone. They would either imprison them or brutally kill them.

When the nest is covered, there are no eggs left.

In the face of cruel war, no one can stay away.

You are a young man, you are a common man and you are not guilty of carrying a jade.

Because you are a type of war resource. If you cannot use it for me, you will be destroyed. You must not be used by the enemy.

The Japanese invaders' three-guang policy was to completely destroy anti-Japanese resources.

Whether it's people or things.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The sound of horse hooves swept across the field, kicking up dust all over the sky.

The wilderness without rain is very suitable for cavalry galloping. Both sides can maximize their combat effectiveness.

Gradually approaching Dongping.

The empty finger map is still not displayed.

There may be Japanese cavalry nearby, but they do not carry heavy weapons.

Zhang Yong raised his hand to indicate to slow down.

Suddenly it was an afterthought.

How many cavalry battalions do I need to form?

Since there are light infantry battalions, is it reasonable to form several cavalry battalions?

In the Central Plains battlefield, the cavalry moved faster, could open the map more quickly, and had a clearer understanding of the movements of the Japanese invaders.

However, the Second Cavalry Army was not our own unit. Therefore, the system did not respond.

I guess I have to start from scratch.

Forget it, wait until the Japanese cavalry are eliminated...

Suddenly, the radar map prompted that there was movement to the north.

There are armed white dots entering one after another. They move very quickly. They are judged to be cavalry.

Is it the cavalry of the national army? Which part of it?

Checked and found no markings. The weapons were all Mosin-Nagant rifles.

"Commander He!"

"exist."

"There are brother cavalry troops in the north. I don't know which part they belong to..."

"Maybe he rides on the Fifth Army."

"Ma Buqing?"

"may be."

He Zhuguo is not sure.

Zhang Yong frowned. Is it actually Ma Jiajun?

The Ma Jiajun who had a bloody feud with the Red Party? The Red Party later refused to accept their surrender?

The Battle of Lanzhou is said to be quite tragic.

But right now, it is still a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. To be precise, it is a period of national cooperation against Japan.

As long as we are actively fighting against the Japanese invaders, we are all on the same front.

Just as he was about to speak, the red dot appeared.

Japanese cavalry!

Sure enough there is!

They appear continuously. There are quite a few of them.

One after another, more than 500 red dots entered the range of the radar map.

This is a Japanese cavalry brigade!

There were only more than 300 Ma Jiajun cavalry being pursued by the Japanese cavalry. They were obviously at a disadvantage.

"Commander He!"

"exist."

Zhang Yong immediately discussed the battle plan with He Zhuguo.

The second cavalry army had strong soldiers and strong horses, with more than 7,000 people. Facing more than 500 Japanese cavalry, they could easily capture them.

If one of them escapes, it will be a shame. The key is to have a solid encirclement.

He Zhuguo was a cavalry general with rich combat experience. He quickly completed the deployment and outflanked them from both sides.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

Later, the national army cavalry also appeared.

He Zhuguo raised the telescope and observed for a moment. His expression seemed a little surprised.

"It's Ma Yonglu."

"who?"

"It's not from Ma Buqing's side. It's from Ma Hongbin's side."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong actually doesn’t quite understand.

He doesn't know much about the situation in the northwest.

Last time I went to Lanzhou, I had no contact with local officials.

The one who knows the most about Ma Bufang is Ma Bufang, because he saw his cruelty and debauchery in Liu Beiwen.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Gunshots continued.

The Japanese cavalry also pursued them fiercely.

These invaders are so arrogant that they feel like they are entering an uninhabited country.

It is as if this vast and fertile wilderness has become their back garden. They will not care if they chase them.
To be continued...
