    Hearing that the young marshal had arrived at Yumen, Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Chengde, who were responsible for suppressing bandits, told their deputies and immediately went to meet him.

    It is still puzzling that the bandits in Mazong Mountain have been unable to attack for a long time. However, since the news of the siege of Dahei Lama came out, the feedback from the surrounding areas was quite happy, which made Zhang Hanqing change his mind.  It turns out that this group of gangsters has caused so much trouble!  And this group of gangsters can withstand beatings so well!

    "Wouldn't it be better to wait for the large army to come over and go and completely deal with this group of bandits?"  In this way, wouldn't it be a good meeting gift for Yang Zengxin and the people of Xinjiang if the People's Army goes out to deal with this figure who has frightened the people in the northwest frontier fortress?

    Zhang Chengde and others had dusty faces along the way. Before they could rest, they attended Zhang Hanqing's military meeting.  He first introduced the situation and said: "Young Marshal, we have deployed three groups of troops one after another and basically eliminated the horse bandits wandering in the Gobi. Now we have trapped the bandits in Mazong Mountain. But because their bunkers are too dangerous, a strong attack is necessary.  We have to pay a huge price, so we are not good at attacking once by force, and adopt the method of siege and waiting for change.

    We have discussed that the plan for the main force of the People's Army to enter Xinjiang remains unchanged, and Commander Zhang will be responsible for the subsequent suppression of bandits and his regiment.  Commander Zhang has strong soldiers and horses. As long as the bandits dare to come out, they will be completely wiped out.  "

    Zhang Zongchang originally had the intention to show off his power in front of Zhang Hanqing, so why not take over everything?  He patted his chest and said, "Young Marshal, you don't need to worry about this bandit army. I'm fully responsible for it. I don't dare to delay your plan to enter Xinjiang." As for why Zhang Hanqing was eager to enter Xinjiang, he didn't understand it at all, but he didn't  hinder his high emotional intelligence.

    Zhang Hanqing is also wondering in his heart, why is this idiot general in history, Zhang Zongchang, whom he dislikes from the bottom of his heart, so hard to hate?  As the commander-in-chief of a party, he cannot not appreciate his positive behavior because of his personal preferences.  Cao Cao knew the principle of "when Zhou Hui spits out food, the world will return to its heart", how could he stop people from all over the world from being close to him because of this?  Zhang Zongchang is an example of his thirst for talent!

    He smiled and praised Zhang Zongchang, which made the latter feel extremely warm in his heart.  However, since it was decided to capture the Black Lama as soon as possible, I can only express verbal praise for Zhang Zongchang's enthusiasm.

    "When I came this time, the artillery battalion did not follow me, but fortunately Commander Song's infantry artillery were all there. From what Commander Zhang said, it seems that the infantry artillery can have an effect on the attack? If so, we will simply take this  Bandits, don¡¯t let them get in the way here¡ªwe have to clean them up anyway.¡±

    This made Zhang Chengde very happy: "With this thing, I am confident that I can take down Mazong Mountain in one go!"

    Without further ado, Song Jiuling prepared two infantry cannons, both of which were 37mm caliber iron lumps.  This is one of the most commonly equipped heavy weapons in the hands of warlords across China. It has two wheels and is easy to push or tow.  In the Gobi Desert, it is most suitable for infantry fire support. Generally, the 75mm guns currently equipped by the Fengjun and the People's Army cannot be used here at all.

    Considering that the main purpose is to deal with the village gate, two gates are enough.  As for the casualties of personnel, the existing mortars and machine guns are enough to kill the bandits.  It took 20 mules and one hundred people's army soldiers to pull these two cannons to the foot of Mazong Mountain in the afternoon of the next day.  Regardless of the fact that it was getting late, Zhang Chengde personally supervised the battle and deployed the attack plan.

    The battlefield that had been resting for a few days suddenly became noisy again, and cheers came from the People's Army defense line not far away.  The bandits who were in charge of the lookout watched the crowd in the distance and the two cannons carried by the horses slowly walking towards this side, and couldn't help but scream in shock.

    The biggest nemesis of the bunker, the cannon, is here!  The news spread instantly to every corner of the fort.  The bandits from all walks of life who had become trapped beasts also came out eagerly to find out what was going on. Even the black lama was shocked by the news.

    The Chinese army is about to attack!  An emergency deployment meeting was held. The Black Lama encouraged the leaders of several parties and said: "I didn't expect that the Chinese really brought the cannons. It seems that we have to plan carefully how to defend. What I mean is that the three of us took turns sending out manpower to strictly guard the gate of the village.  ¡ª¡ªAlthough the Chinese army has artillery, it doesn't matter. We seal the gates of the villages with stones, and our fortresses are all made of stones, so their cannons are useless here."

    Wen Ganlun sneered in his heart. When the Black Lama showed off his fortifications before, he also said that it was difficult to advance with wings. Wouldn¡¯t it be easy for the People¡¯s Army to enter without wings?  However, this is not a really good time. It is best for everyone to work together to overcome the difficulties at hand.  He glanced at the black lama and responded knowingly: "Yes, guard the gate of the village. Even if the Chinese have thousands of troops, it won't be a problem. I suggest that General Bashiqi and other generals lead the defense on the first day. Although my troops  Being good at maneuvering but also being able to work through the hard times with everyone is fine the next day.¡±

    He said to the black lama: "Just letAfter a while, another shell came over.

    This time there were finally casualties.  Several soldiers who were carrying stones were beaten and three died on the spot.  Another one was blown away, two had their limbs cut off, and one had his intestines thrown out.

    It¡¯s just dead. The ones who were blown up were still breathing when they were found. The ones whose limbs were blown off made the loudest moans. On the contrary, the ones whose intestines were expelled only groaned and made the least movement.  But seeing how uncomfortable he was, there was only one sound left in silence.

    Seeing the miserable situation of their colleagues, all the bandits felt miserable.  Some of these Mengxi bandits originally became bandits just to make a living. They believed that being a bandit was a promising career and did not want to suffer this fate.

    For the first time, someone had a different thought in his mind.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
