Li Qiufan was on the march in a hurry. Fortunately, he was not far away from Li Yunlong's station, otherwise by the time he arrived, the grass on the graves would have grown taller than a person.
Half a day later, Li Qiufan's independent division arrived not far from Dawangzhuang, and the troops of the Jinsui Army could already be vaguely seen.
"Heizi, order the troops to surround me with this division of the Jinsui Army!"
Li Qiufan didn't even think about it and surrounded the other side.
"Send a report to Li Yunlong, saying we have arrived, so he doesn't have to worry."
"In addition, if the situation changes, with three shots as the signal, we will support him in breaking out from the north!"
After arranging the troops, Li Qiufan asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Li Yunlong.
He also briefly observed the terrain and planned a breakout route for Li Yunlong.
More than 30,000 people from the independent division directly surrounded the Jinsui Army. The division commander of the Jinsui Army naturally discovered this situation.
"Damn it! Is the Eighth Route Army going to war?"
The division commander of the Jinsui Army was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the Eighth Route Army who had made dumplings for him.
Even if he was beaten to death, he never expected that Li Qiufan's support would come so quickly and that so many people would come.
"Hurry up and send a telegram to the top. We are surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. We have at least one army in strength!"
The division commander of the Jinsui Army roughly estimated the strength of his troops and was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.
These tens of thousands of people showed up out of nowhere, and the more than 7,000 of them were like nothing on a plate!
Li Yunlong was in a good mood after receiving Li Qiufan's telegram. He was happily smoking a cigarette and humming a ditty on the battlefield.
The senior officials of the Jinsui Army panicked immediately after receiving the telegram. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army actually mobilized an army to launch a counter-encirclement for themselves.
They are not as wealthy as the Central Army, and the Jinsui Army does not have much wealth. It would be very painful to lose a division.
The senior officials of the Jinsui Army immediately sent a telegram to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, requesting negotiations as soon as possible, and asked the Eighth Route Army to immediately remove their people and their troops to withdraw as well.
The boss was also confused after seeing the telegram from the top of the Jinsui Army, thinking about the strength of such an army.
"An army? That guy Li Qiufan has so many people?"
The boss looked at the teacher with a puzzled expression.
"I'm afraid I have to ask that brat about this. Who knows how many troops he has."
The teacher shook his head and said that he did not know Li Qiufan's situation.
"Send a report to the Independent Division and ask them how many people have gone!"
The boss simply sent a telegram directly to Li Qiufan. It was better to ask the real person for this kind of thing.
"Division Commander, the headquarters called to ask how many troops we have mobilized."
The independent division quickly received a telegram from the headquarters. The telegraph operator took a telegram and said to Li Qiufan.
"How many troops will be mobilized? Why does the boss ask this?"
Li Qiufan was a little confused. If he didn't negotiate quickly, why would he care about how many people he brought with him? Could it be that he was worried that he couldn't defeat him.
"Report truthfully to headquarters!"
Li Qiufan shook his head and didn't understand, so he directly asked the telegraph operator to report the troop strength.
After the boss received a call back from the independent division, the entire headquarters was stunned.
"Damn it, there are more than 38,000 people in this brat?"
The boss held a telegram in his hand and repeatedly checked the contents with his eyes. When he realized that he had read it correctly, he immediately exclaimed.
"How many? More than 38,000 people? Nearly 40,000?"
The teacher didn't expect that the independent division would have so many troops. He had already looked up to Li Qiufan as much as possible in his heart, but he still looked down on him.
"Dear me, his division also has heavy artillery!"
The boss thought of the heavy artillery of the Independent Division again. He already had a strong foundation, so he sent twelve more.
Nowadays, the strength of the independent division, coupled with its vitality, can really be said to be the main force among the main forces.
"Boss, it seems that the Jinsui Army is scared, hahaha..."
After knowing the strength of the independent division, the teacher understood why the top leaders of the Shanxi-Sui Army were so eager to withdraw their troops. After the withdrawal, that division would be nothing.
"This brat, why is he so confident?"
The boss shook his head helplessly, laughing and scolding Li Qiufan.
"Okay, send a report to the Jinsui Military Headquarters, and we will make an opening to let their troops out."
"In addition, send a report to Li Qiufan, the commander of the independent division, and ask him to release the Jinsui Army. Let him come to the headquarters after this matter is over."
The boss decided to let the independent division stay where it was, and just opened an opening to let the Jinsui Army out in case they would go back on their word.
The Jinsui Army still has these thoughts. It is eager to withdraw that division quickly. It is not cost-effective to set up a division for the equipment of a battalion.
Li Qiufan carried out the order immediately after receiving the order. Originally, he had no intention of doing anything to this group of Jinsui troops, just to prevent them from acting rashly.
"Heizi, send someone to send a message to the Jinsui Army and open a hole to let them out."
"Monk, take someone with me to see Lao Li!"
After Li Qiufan made arrangements, he took the monk and others to Dawangzhuang.
When passing by the Jinsui Army's position, they didn't look at them directly. Of course, the Jinsui Army didn't dare to have any objections. After all, there were tens of thousands of people outside.
"Lao Li, where is the smoke coming out of your stupid bastard!"
Without any obstruction, Li Qiufan led his men straight to Li Yunlong's position, but he did not see Li Yunlong when they arrived at the position.
The soldiers on the battlefield had seen Li Qiufan's veteran, and immediately recognized him, and then ran to find Li Yunlong.
"Hey, Qiu Fan, why are you here? The Jinsui Army has withdrawn?"
When Li Qiufan was almost impatient, Li Yunlong came out carrying a large pottery bowl.
"Hey, you, Mr. Li, have a big heart. How can you still think about making noodles when you are surrounded by a teacher?"
Li Qiufan took a look into the pottery bowl. Unexpectedly, what the old boy served was a bowl of noodles with a layer of marinade on top.
"Hehe, aren't you here, brother? You're already here, brother, what do I have to worry about!"
Li Yunlong took a mouthful of noodles nonchalantly, with a satisfied expression on his face.
"I finally understand, I am here to do hard work for you!"
Li Qiufan shook his head helplessly. There was really nothing he could do about Li Yunlong, who was even thicker-skinned than him.
"Is it tasty?"
After complaining, Li Qiufan suddenly pointed to the noodles held by Li Yunlong and asked.
"delicious!"
Li Yunlong answered directly without thinking.
"It's delicious. Don't you know how to serve me a bowl too!"
Li Qiufan said angrily, this old boy knew that he was showing off and didn't consider his feelings at all.
"Uh, I forgot. Someone, hurry up and serve our brother a bowl of noodles with more braised pork!"
Li Yunlong touched his head in embarrassment and hurriedly asked someone to get a bowl for Li Qiufan as well.
"Hey, Lao Li, the boss is probably going to cause trouble for you this time!"
After eating the noodles, Li Qiufan looked at Li Yunlong and said with some gloating.
