Seeing his troops arriving, Li Qiufan breathed a sigh of relief. They survived.
The same was true for Li Yunlong. When he saw the support arriving, he couldn't help but get a little red-eyed.
"Old Li, it seems that you are going to bleed heavily. I have made a note of the wine you owe me!"
Li Qiufan was in a good mood, patting Li Yunlong on the shoulder and joking.
"Don't worry, our old Li is not in trouble. Your brother saved me and my soldiers. Don't say one meal, ten meals will do!"
Li Yunlong laughed happily and looked back at his soldiers with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Okay, Lao Li, they are all good! Once the troops are gone, we can pick them up again. They died fighting the Japanese. They are all heroes!"
Li Qiufan noticed Li Yunlong's strangeness and put his arm around his shoulders to comfort him.
"Oh, they are all good! It's our Lao Li who can't stand them!"
Li Yunlong blames himself a little. This is entirely his responsibility because of the consequences of his decision-making.
"Okay, act like a girl! Go and see the little devil down there with me!"
Seeing that he couldn't comfort him, Li Qiufan slapped Li Yunlong on the back and pulled him down the hillside.
"Let's go, brothers! Go to the bottom of the hillside and see the little devils! This time they are surrounded by us!"
Li Qiufan pulled Lao Li and shouted at the surviving soldiers on the position.
When the gunfire rang out, the Japanese who rushed to the position realized something was wrong, and immediately retreated to join the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.
This resulted in everyone surviving. If the Japanese had not retreated, the outcome would have been hard to say.
"Brother!"
Before Li Qiufan pulled Li Yunlong to the bottom of the hillside, Heizi ran over.
"Haha, Kuroko, if you were later..."
Li Qiufan was about to tease Heizi, but was immediately hugged by Heizi in a bear hug.
"What are you doing! I'm not a girl, why are you holding on!"
Li Qiufan said he was disgusted, but he patted Heizi on the back.
"Brother, are you injured?"
Heizi's eyes were red. After letting go of Li Qiufan, he began to check whether his body was injured.
"It's okay, just minor injuries!"
Li Qiufan was a little helpless, this black man really treated him as a child.
"Brother, if you do this again in the future, I won't stop you. I'll just shoot myself!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan was not seriously injured, Heizi felt relieved, then looked at Li Qiufan seriously and said.
"Uh, okay, I get it."
Li Qiufan wanted to retort, but seeing Heizi's serious expression, he could only nod his head and agree.
Seeing that Li Qiufan agreed, Heizi relaxed his tense face and greeted Li Yunlong next to him.
"Brother, you are a good brother. You are more in charge of things than our Lao Li's wife! Hahaha..."
Seeing Li Qiufan's embarrassment, Li Yunlong laughed mercilessly.
"Humph, where did you go, old boy? You're half a joke!"
Li Qiufan rolled his eyes at Li Yunlong, then ignored him and walked down the hillside.
At this time, the battle down the hillside has come to an end, and Erhu and Lu Ming are leading the two brigades to finish.
"By the way, brother, the telegram from headquarters hasn't been returned yet. What do you think we should do?"
As he walked, Heizi suddenly remembered the telegram from the headquarters.
I forgot about this just now because I was worried about Li Qiufan's safety, but I remembered it now.
Hearing this, Li Qiufan looked at Li Yunlong beside him and said nothing.
"Brother, just reply truthfully. My radio station was bombed by the Japanese, otherwise I will report it to the superiors."
Li Yunlong's face darkened. He knew that he was in trouble this time. Not to mention underestimating the enemy's sudden advance, two-thirds of the entire unit's structure was destroyed. Basically, he was shot and killed.
Li Qiufan frowned when he heard Li Yunlong's words, thought for a moment and then said.
"To generate electricity for the headquarters, our unit used the Independent Second Brigade as bait to set up an ambush for the Japanese. Although the second brigade suffered heavy casualties, with the cooperation of the two units, an entire Japanese division was wiped out!"
Li Qiufan never thought about asking Li Yunlong to backfire from the beginning. He had thought of this rhetoric on the way to the reinforcements, otherwise he would not have stopped Heizi from calling the headquarters back.
"Brother, you...!"
Li Yunlong stared at Li Qiufan with wide eyes. He did not expect that Li Qiufan would lie about the military situation for him.
"Haha, our results are pretty good, aren't they?"
Li Qiufan smiled at Li Yunlong, then walked down with Heizi without saying anything.
Looking at Li Qiufan's back, Li Yunlong felt very complicated.
He was originally the one who caused the trouble, which caused Li Qiufan to lose nearly a whole regiment. Not only did the other party help him hide the truth, he was a huge favor!
"Alas~"
Li Yunlong sighed helplessly. At this point, he could only listen to Li Qiufan.
"Report to the division commander that the battle is over and the brothers are cleaning the battlefield!"
Seeing Li Qiufan approaching, Erhu and Lu Ming hurriedly greeted him.
"Thank you for your hard work. Clean the battlefield as soon as possible. We must seize the time to withdraw."
"Send another regiment to meet Lao Ma's artillery regiment, come and join us as soon as possible!"
Li Qiufan nodded, and then gave a big order.
It was not a good place for him to stay for a long time. He was afraid that the Japanese would have reinforcements on the way.
Although his large army had arrived, the soldiers were exhausted after nearly ten hours of forced march and then immediately entered the battle after arriving.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, Er Hu and Lu Ming hurried to report to their subordinates and quickly cleaned the battlefield.
In less than half an hour, the battlefield was almost cleaned, and everyone started to retreat directly back.
After withdrawing more than ten miles, Li Qiufan found a good place to stop.
"Heizi, order the troops to rest on the spot!"
Li Qiufan called Heizi and decided to rest and reorganize his troops here.
"Brother, what do you think of my troops' arrangements now?"
Li Yunlong came over and asked Li Qiufan about his next arrangements.
"Please withdraw your troops to Panshan County first, and help my troops stay there to assist in the defense. My political commissar is also there. It just so happens that you have a military commander when you pass."
Li Qiufan decided to ask Li Yunlong to withdraw from Panshan County because his troops had little combat effectiveness.
"Oh, okay!"
Li Yunlong nodded in despair, knowing that the next action had nothing to do with him.
"Don't be downcast, go over there to regain your strength and recruit more soldiers!"
Li Qiufan patted Li Yunlong's shoulder and comforted him.
"It's a pity that we, Lao Li, can't participate in the next action!"
Li Yunlong shook his head. It turned out that he was dejected because he could not fight the Japanese.
"Haha, I thought it was for some reason. If you want to fight the Japanese, you have to mobilize the troops again!"
Li Qiufan smiled helplessly, this Li Yunlong was really a militant.
