"Erhu, what mistake did I make?"
After the two left, Lu Ming asked Er Hu in confusion.
"You, you lost your brain, the teacher is not happy."
Erhu looked at Lu Ming and shook his head helplessly.
"Fart! You just lost your mind!"
Lu Ming thought Erhu scolded him deliberately, so he immediately retorted.
"You are stupid! You are taking the lead in such a big operation. This is the time to take the lead. In my opinion, the teacher did not kick you twice just to save your face!"
Erhu ignored Lu Ming's rebuttal and spoke to him seriously.
"That's what happened!"
After hearing this, Lu Ming realized that Erhu was indeed right, and he had really lost his mind.
On Li Qiufan's side, after arranging the tasks, he took the map and studied it.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
Heizi was a little confused. He was already studying the map now that he was already attacking.
"It's okay. I'm just going to see if there is any escape route for the Japanese."
Li Qiufan shook his head, put away the map, and then looked towards the front line.
At this time, a regiment under Erhu was charging towards the high ground, but the Japanese's firepower was too strong, and they were beaten down several times after charging.
"Signal Corps, go tell Lao Ma that the damn cannonballs are still laying cubs. Hurry up and suppress the Japs for me. How many brothers have died!"
Li Qiufan yelled angrily, scaring Heizi next to him so much that he didn't dare to breathe.
Under Li Qiufan's order, Lao Ma finally let loose and threw the shells out as if for free, directly knocking the Japanese on the high ground into confusion.
This series of bombardments made Chu Yunfei a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Qiufan's family was so rich and he actually had more cannons than he did.
"Damn it, this is right! Tell Heizi to send someone to help me!"
Seeing that the Japanese were suppressed, Li Qiufan looked happy and shouted loudly.
This battle lasted for two days, but the Japanese on the high ground failed to win.
Moreover, the troops blocking their attack were also struggling. The Japanese were frantically moving towards Taiyuan for reinforcements, and they could hardly hold it anymore.
After two days of fighting, Li Qiufan's independent division had suffered nearly half of its casualties, while other troops were in even worse condition. Several brigades were almost wiped out.
With such casualties, there were still more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers on the highlands.
In addition to relying on the geographical location, a large part of it was due to their equipment. It was really difficult for the troops to suppress them.
"Damn it, this battle was so frustrating! It's been two days and I haven't even charged into the enemy's position yet!"
Chu Yunfei cursed angrily on the sidelines. After getting along with each other for a few days, he had already placed Li Qiufan in the same position as Li Yunlong in his heart.
And from time to time, he would come to Li Qiufan's headquarters and chat with him.
Li Qiufan was also worried. He had pushed the Japanese to this point, but he still couldn't win. This was really a bit embarrassing.
"Brother Chu, I wonder if you dare to risk your life?"
Li Qiufan suddenly asked Chu Yunfei, which confused Chu Yunfei.
"Brother Li, what do you mean by this?"
Chu Yunfei didn't understand what he meant, so he asked him if he wanted to give up his life.
"I'm going to telegraph the headquarters to let all the artillery fire suppress the Japs on my side, and then my entire division will charge."
"But in the past two days, nearly half of my troops have suffered casualties, and the strength is somewhat insufficient. I wonder, Brother Chu, if you are willing to fight with me!"
Li Qiufan gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts.
It's not that he has great sense of justice or heroism, he just got angry.
In the two consecutive days of attacks, although the Jinsui Army joined in, the main force was still their Eighth Route Army.
Except for Chu Yunfei's brigade who was doing their best, the rest of the Jinsui Army was doing half-heartedly.
Coupled with the fact that the attack was not going well and the troops suffered too many casualties, Li Qiufan really couldn't hold back his anger at this moment.
Although he couldn't do anything to those Jinsui troops, he wanted to vent his anger on the Japanese.
"Haha, Brother Li, you really underestimate me, Mr. Chu. I don't dare to say anything else. I, Mr. Chu, have never been afraid of fighting Japanese enemies!"
"Go ahead and make arrangements. My 358th Brigade will fight with your independent division this time!"
Chu Yunfei slammed the table and said solemnly to Li Qiufan.
"Okay! With your words, Brother Chu, I feel relieved! I will send a telegram to the headquarters right away!"
After listening to Chu Yunfei's words, Li Qiufan's thoughts became even more firm, and he immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the headquarters to express his thoughts.
However, the boss directly rejected his proposal, thinking that it was too risky and the price was too high.
It's okay to rush forward, but if he can't rush forward, then his independent division will be broken.
And he was still with the Jinsui Army, which made the boss even more worried. After all, he saw how these so-called friendly forces acted.
Seeing the contents of the telegram, Li Qiufan was angry and anxious, and immediately asked the telegraph operator to send another message. This time the content contained only eight words: "My death will save the country, and my death will be an honor!"
At the headquarters, the boss fell silent after seeing the eight words in the telegram sent by Li Qiufan.
The teacher realized something was wrong and reached out to take the telegram.
"Boss, let him go, I believe in him!"
After reading the contents of the telegram, the teacher looked at the boss and said.
"Oh, I like this kid Qiu Fan so much, I really can't let him go."
The boss looked out the window, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
"Okay, let's inform all the troops and launch another attack on the high ground in half an hour."
"Inform the heavy artillery brigade. After launching the general attack, concentrate all artillery fire to suppress the Japanese in the direction of the independent division!"
"Inform the Independent Division that the headquarters approved their proposal and launch a general offensive half an hour later."
The boss clenched his fist vigorously and finally agreed with Li Qiufan's idea.
There is no other reason. There is not much time left. If we drag on any longer, the Japanese reinforcements will be unstoppable. By then, everything done in the early stage will be in vain.
"Commander, call back from headquarters!"
The dispatcher immediately handed it over to Li Qiufan after receiving the call back.
"Great! The headquarters finally agreed!"
Li Qiufan was overjoyed when he saw the contents of the telegram, and then called all the cadres to the headquarters.
"By the way, let's go. Brigadier Chu of the 358th Brigade also called over and said he was ready to attack."
Not long after, Chu Yunfei also came to the headquarters of the independent division, looking at Li Qiufan with questioning eyes.
Noticing Chu Yunfei's eyes, Li Qiufan nodded. Chu Yunfei immediately understood something.
"Next, I want to tell you something about whether this battle can be won or not!"
Li Qiufan looked at the people in front of him and said solemnly.
"Brother, what's going on?"
Heizi asked from the side, wondering how the victory of this battle came to their independent division.
"Half an hour later, everyone in the independent division, together with everyone in the friendly 358th Brigade, launched a charge against the Japanese positions on the high ground!"
Li Qiufan told the plan in a heavy tone, and then waited for everyone to speak.
