On Li Qiufan's side, Lao Ma set up three mortars and launched a blanket bombing directly at Sakata's command post, causing corpses and body parts to be scattered all over the ground.
"The Eighth Route Army has begun to charge. Heizi, please lead your brothers to respond and put enough pressure on the side!"
"Old Ma, keep aiming at the enemy's position and blast me, and shoot out all the shells!"
When Li Qiufan saw that Lao Li was leading the charge, he immediately asked his men to put pressure on the Japanese.
Not long after, the Eighth Route Army occupied the Japanese position and rushed towards the last blockade.
"Heizi, ask the brothers to move with the Eighth Route Army to ensure the safety of the flanks!"
Li Qiufan and the people from Cangyun Village followed Li Yunlong to help him escort him.
"Master, some people on the 8th Route are trapped!"
While they were marching, Heizi ran over from behind and shouted to Li Qiufan.
"Heizi, you take the brothers and move on. I'll take fifty people to have a look!"
Li Qiufan went back and picked fifty good men, and took ten crooked weapons with him, and headed towards the direction of the lone Eighth Route Army.
When he got closer, Li Qiufan discovered that the person trapped was Zhang Dabiao. It seemed that this disaster was over.
"Give me ten crooked guns to shoot at me to suppress the enemy's firepower. The remaining people will follow me to the side to attack!"
Li Qiufan arranged ten crooked weapons here to suppress the enemy's firepower, and then led others to the side, forming a triangular encirclement with Zhang Dabiao's men.
"Da da da da..."
A burst of intensive light machine gun sounds rang out, catching the Japanese off guard.
After the machine gun fire started, Li Qiufan also got in position and led his men to shoot at the Japanese.
"Damn it, what part is this? Our new group doesn't have so many tricks."
Zhang Dabiao scratched his head and felt a little confused. After fighting so many battles, he could get a rough idea of the firepower configuration just by listening to the sound. Even with the dense gunfire, there were still a lot of mistakes.
"Brothers, friendly forces are coming to rescue us, fight them all!"
Zhang Dabiao no longer thought about it, and directly led his men to attack the Japs. Just now, he was blocked by the Japs, but this time they surrounded the Japs.
Under the strong firepower, the Japanese in the triangle circle were wiped out before they could hold on for long. Li Qiufan led everyone to join Zhang Dabiao.
"Brother, which part do you belong to? Thank you so much!"
Zhang Dabiao hugged Li Qiufan and looked him up and down.
"Haha, we'll talk about this later, let's break out first!"
Li Qiufan smiled and did not answer Zhang Dabiao's question, because he had not completely escaped from the encirclement yet, and he had no intention of chatting here.
More than half an hour later, they finally caught up with the large army, and Li Qiufan also joined his more than two hundred brothers.
"Brother, we, Lao Li, have kept today's battle in mind. If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask us, Lao Li!"
Li Qiufan finally met Li Yunlong. As soon as he met Li Yunlong, he held Li Qiufan's hand and said.
Li Yunlong could tell that Li Qiufan's group was not a regular army, so he didn't ask where they were from.
"Haha, you must be Captain Li Yunlong."
Li Qiufan was a little excited when he saw Li Yunlong, but he still had to pretend. He couldn't go up and pat Li Yunlong and tell him, "I'll look down on you!"
"Huh? Brother, have you heard of our name, Lao Li?"
Li Yunlong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party knew his name.
"I've heard that I brought my brothers here with the intention of defecting to Commander Li!"
Li Qiufan nodded and directly explained the purpose.
Li Yunlong's eyes widened when he heard that Li Qiufan had brought people to defect to him. He saw what the configuration of this group of people was.
Three mortars, ten crooked handles, and one rifle per man. This configuration was not even comparable to that of his main battalion, not to mention that the entire regiment only had one mortar, while he had three!
"Brother, this is no joke!"
Li Yunlong looked at Li Qiufan suspiciously, feeling that Li Qiufan was joking with him again.
"This is nothing to joke about. The purpose of my trip is to join the Eighth Route Army. My brothers are all following me. They will go wherever I go."
Li Qiufan shook his head, looked at Li Yunlong seriously and said.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong was overjoyed. Apart from the insufficient number of people and no heavy machine guns, Li Qiufan's group had the weapons configuration of a reinforced battalion, and it actually gave him an advantage.
"Brother, you follow me to the new station first. It's not my decision to join the Eighth Route Army alone. What do you think?"
Li Yunlong thought of taking Li Qiufan and the others to the new station first, and then asking the brigade commander for instructions on how to arrange them.
"Okay, then we will follow you directly."
Li Qiufan immediately agreed, and the group marched toward the new station.
Two days later, in a small village, Xinyi Regiment and Li Qiufan's troops rested here.
"Brother, there is an order from the brigade headquarters. Let me take you to the brigade headquarters."
Before he could enter the door, Li Yunlong's loud voice came in. Li Qiufan hurriedly put on his shoes and went out.
"To the brigade headquarters?"
Li Qiufan was a little confused. Isn't it just an establishment? As for a trip to the brigade headquarters.
"Yes, we don't know what's going on. The messenger came back and asked the brigade commander to come."
Li Yunlong was also a little confused and didn't understand why the brigade commander asked him to go to the brigade headquarters.
The two of them didn't think any more, mounted their horses and set off with the guards.
386th Brigade Headquarters.
Li Yunlong took Li Qiufan to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander's guard took the two of them in directly.
Li Qiufan was a little excited and his hands were shaking. This was the legendary general!
"Report!"
"Come in!"
When he arrived in front of the door, Li Yunlong shouted a report loudly, and then a loud voice came from inside.
The two of them walked in. When they saw the brigade commander, Li Qiufan's eyes lit up. He really lived up to his reputation. He couldn't help but think of that poem.
"Join the army in Huangpu and Shuitou, Guangdong Province,"
"I am a prisoner to save Li Shu."
"Sakuno Hanchuan Long March Road,"
"Anti-Japanese Bandits Taihangqiu."
"The Yellow River invites tassels to make the angry horses angry,"
"Annihilate the enemy and drive out the thieves and chieftains on the Yangtze River."
"The song of victory is played to wipe out the fierce and stubborn people,"
"Suppressing the Yunnan border depends on planning."
"This must be little brother Li Qiufan!"
The brigade commander looked at Li Qiufan and said with a smile.
"Yes, brigade commander, I am Li Qiufan,"
Li Qiufan hurriedly replied after hearing the brigade commander's question.
"Well, not bad, a hero comes from a boy!"
The brigade commander looked Li Qiufan up and down and nodded with satisfaction.
"I heard that you want to join the Eighth Route Army?"
"Yes, chief, my brothers and I have wanted to join the Eighth Route Army for a long time, but we have never found our team!"
Li Qiufan nodded heavily.
