Li Qiufan started fighting here, and the other two directions were also idle, dragging the main force of the Japs to prevent them from returning reinforcements.
"Brother, there is a force approaching us from the west. It looks like a force from the national army!"
While the fight was going on, Heizi suddenly received information from the alert soldiers, saying that troops were approaching them.
Hearing this, Heizi hurriedly took a look, but to his surprise, he turned out to be a member of the national army.
"Guojun?"
Li Qiufan was a little confused. The boss personally arranged this operation, so why did the national army also get involved?
"Heizi, just stay here and stare, I'll go over and take a look!"
Without thinking, Li Qiufan decided to meet them in person.
After a while, Li Qiufan arrived at the observation post. At this time, the national army was only two miles away from him.
"Go, ask them to stop advancing, and ask their commander to come over and talk!"
Li Qiufan frowned as he looked at the troops in front of him. He didn't show any politeness at all, nor did he say he would send someone over to negotiate first, but he just came over to them.
Soon, under the obstruction of several sentries, the troops on the opposite side stopped, and then a dozen people came out and followed the sentries back.
"Um?"
When the visitor came closer, Li Qiufan realized that it was Chu Yunfei, and this army was the Jinsui Army.
"Hello, sir, I am Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Brigade of the Jinsui Army."
Chu Yunfei saluted casually and told Li Qiufan about his identity, still looking so arrogant.
"Haha, Li Qiufan, commander of the Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army."
Li Qiufan didn't give him a good look when he saw this. He casually raised his hand and saluted.
"I wonder why your 358th Brigade is here?"
After saying hello, Li Qiufan asked about Chu Yunfei's intentions.
"I came to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army under the orders of Commander Yan."
Chu Yunfei revealed his purpose, but he didn't expect that it was Yan Laoxi who arranged it.
"Oh? Chief Yan arranged it? Why didn't I receive the order?"
Li Qiufan was a little puzzled why the headquarters didn't give him any news when Jin Suijun intervened.
"Haha, Commander Li, you can ask your Eighth Route Army headquarters. I'm sure they will give you the answer."
Chu Yunfei said calmly, as if if you don't believe me, just ask.
"Okay, then please stay where you are and wait until I ask what's going on."
Li Qiufan nodded and asked the sentry to send Chu Yunfei and his party back.
After sending Chu Yunfei away, Li Qiufan immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the headquarters to ask what was going on.
Not long after, a call back from the headquarters was sent back.
It turned out that after Yan Laoxi learned about the Eighth Route Army's actions, he immediately decided to kill first and then show off, hoping to get involved.
They actually sent the troops over without notifying the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
It wasn't until the two armies met that he contacted the Eighth Route Army headquarters and explained his intentions.
This incident also made the boss very angry. It was obvious that he was here to take credit.
The Eighth Route Army had almost finished singing the foreplay, and just as they were waiting to finish, the Jinsui Army came to share the food and wine with their rice bowls.
Seeing this, Li Qiufan was also a little confused. It seemed that he was not just here to share the credit.
It is estimated that some people were afraid of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Taiyuan, so they came to find out more about them.
"Heizi, tell Lao Ma to put away all the 105mm and 150mm heavy artillery, and then only use the 75mm field artillery and mountain artillery!"
After understanding the situation, Li Qiufan decided to hide his strength to avoid being spotted.
After hearing this, Heizi hurriedly ran to the artillery regiment to give orders, while Li Qiufan led people to Chu Yunfei's unit.
"Brigadier Chu, I have already informed the headquarters. We welcome your participation in the war this time!"
Li Qiufan said with a smile. Since he couldn't change it, he could only accept it. He didn't want to be accused of causing friction.
"Haha, Mr. Li is too polite, then Chu will follow your command."
Chu Yunfei smiled and waved his hand, becoming humble.
"Brigadier Chu is joking, how about our two divisions divide into two directions of attack, each commanding his own troops."
"After all, I am the commander of the Eighth Route Army. How can I command the troops of your Jinsui Army?"
Li Qiufan didn't fall for the trap at all, and still obeyed his orders. To put it mildly, it was surveillance.
"Um, this..."
Chu Yunfei didn't expect that Li Qiufan was like a loach and wouldn't get into his trap at all.
And he also specifically pointed out the affiliations of the two troops, clearly telling him that we are two factions.
"Okay, it's settled. I will immediately ask my troops to give up the position on the left. Brigadier Chu, you can take over with your troops!"
Before Chu Yunfei could think of his words, Li Qiufan made a decision directly and then left with his people.
Chu Yunfei was dumbfounded. He was originally the one who inquired about the situation and took the credit, but he didn't expect to be the main attacker. Who can he ask to explain this?
But he had no choice but to follow this move. Everyone had gone back to withdraw their positions. If Chu Yunfei didn't take over, he would be putting the independent division in danger and giving the Japanese a chance to counterattack.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Chu Yunfei reluctantly asked his men to take over the position, and together with Li Qiufan, he and Li Qiufan would eat the Japanese on the opposite side.
"Brother, how did the conversation go?"
As soon as Li Qiufan came back, Heizi couldn't wait to walk up and asked.
"Let the brothers give up the position on the left and let the Jinsui Army take over!"
Li Qiufan directly issued the order without explaining the process.
"Brother, why are you giving up the position? Isn't this giving away the credit?"
Heizi was a little puzzled that the credit he received should be given to the Jinsui Army.
"You! You can only be a deputy!"
Li Qiufan glared at Heizi angrily, and then left directly.
Although Heizi was puzzled, he did not dare to disobey Li Qiufan's order and immediately had people evacuate.
It wasn't until Chu Yunfei arrived at the position that he saw clearly the strength of Li Qiufan's troops. There were actually 20,000 people in this fucking division!
Weapons and equipment can be hidden, but people cannot, which makes Li Qiufan a little helpless.
He wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but the pig skin was not big enough to cover him as a tiger.
After preparing for a moment, both sides launched an attack on the Japanese in unison.
Although Chu Yunfei was forced into the battle, he had already entered. He became serious when facing the Japanese and had no intention of holding back at all.
"Should I say it or not, Chu Yunfei's troops are really good!"
Looking at the battle on Chu Yunfei's side, Li Qiufan nodded in approval.
He is worthy of being Li Yunlong's sympathetic opponent, and his fighting ability is worthy of Li Yunlong's vision.
Originally, an independent division would have no pressure to fight against the Japanese on the opposite side, but this time with the addition of Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade, the fight was even more devastating.
It didn't take long for the two parties to rush to the Japs' forward position, beating the Japs until they complained incessantly.
