"Teacher, although I don't understand what you are saying, it sounds very interesting!"
Hearing Li Qiufan's emotion, Erhu grinned happily.
"You? You can understand six!"
Li Qiufan almost choked on his own saliva, turned to look at Erhu and said with disgust.
"Six? I can understand six!"
Erhu smiled and nodded, and even stretched out his hand to sign a six to Li Qiufan.
"Er Hu, I don't know if you are Erhu, but you are a real tiger!"
Li Qiufan shook his head helplessly. He was really defeated by Erhu. He reached out and patted his shoulder and said.
Hearing Li Qiufan's words, Erhu scratched his head in confusion, wondering why Li Qiufan called him a tiger.
"Let the brothers come out and let the new recruits look at the other side and let them understand what war is!"
Li Qiufan didn't want to continue discussing Tiger and Six with Er Hu. Compared with this, he wanted to educate the new recruits and let them understand the cruelty of war.
Soon the new recruits were pulled out of the artillery holes by the veterans.
The recruits all looked pale and their gums were trembling. With the help of the veterans, they looked at the Jinsui Army's position.
Although they were farther away, they could still vaguely see some stumps and broken arms. The strong impact of the image frightened the recruits, who squatted in the trench and vomited directly.
The recruits on the Eighth Route Army side were vomiting wildly, and the situation on the Jinsui Army side was even worse.
Wails filled the battlefield, and the heart-wrenching shouts made people's scalp numb.
One of the three division commanders was injured in the shelling, and another was knocked unconscious.
Only the last one remained awake, arranging soldiers to treat the wounded, while he looked to the opposite side in fear, and at the same time wondered why the Eighth Route Army had such a large-caliber cannon.
"Send a telegram to the superiors and tell them that the Eighth Route Army blocking us has heavy artillery. Our three divisions have already suffered nearly one-third casualties!"
The commander of the Jinsui Army roughly estimated the casualties and immediately had someone send a telegram to his superiors.
He didn't dare to act rashly now. It wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to attack, but he was afraid that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side would directly destroy them.
Soon a telegram from the top of the Jinsui Army was sent back. The content was that he should continue the attack and must annihilate the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.
"Damn it! These dogs that drink human blood!"
The commander of the Jinsui Army directly tore the telegram into pieces and cursed those senior officials who only dared to hide in the rear.
"Send me the order to assemble the troops and prepare to attack!"
But even if you scold, orders must still be carried out. This is what soldiers should do.
The commander of the Jinsui Army asked the people below to gather the troops and prepare to charge towards Li Qiufan and the others. After all, as long as they rushed to the position, the opponent would not dare to bombard them.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Qiufan no longer planned to continue shelling because he was worried about the shells. At the same time, in order to train the new recruits, he decided to fight a positional battle with the Jinsui Army.
After a short arrangement, the first echelon of the Jinsui Army launched a charge towards the Eighth Route Army position, while providing artillery cover.
"Let everyone prepare, tell the artillery to launch an artillery bombardment at the charging Jinsui Army, and sharpen their offensive edge first!"
Seeing the Jinsui Army charging, Li Qiufan asked the soldiers on the position to get ready.
At the same time, he ordered the artillery following him to fire. All kinds of field artillery, mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars came into battle, giving the charging Jinsui Army a hodgepodge.
"Damn it! Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many artillery pieces!"
Seeing the various cannons on the opposite side, the commander of the Jinsui Army was filled with hatred and punched the ground directly.
The Jinsui Army in the first echelon had just rushed halfway when they were directly beaten back by artillery fire. Li Qiufan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
"Although the little devil is hateful, the quality of the little devil's soldiers is really not something to brag about."
"If the opponent is replaced by a little devil, this battle will be difficult for us."
Li Qiufan said with emotion to Erhu that although the Japanese were hateful and wanted to skin them and cramp them, they did have something worth learning from.
Erhu nodded in agreement. He had fought with the Japs a lot, so he naturally knew the Japs' fighting prowess.
The first attack was repelled, and the Jinsui Army quickly organized a second attack, and this time its strength doubled.
"Get ready to fight. I'm going to charge in this time. Let the veterans take care of the new recruits!"
Li Qiufan pulled out his pistol, stared at the charging Jinsui Army, and said to Erhu on the side.
Erhu immediately arranged for people to go to various departments to convey the order, and then he drew his gun and stood beside Li Qiufan.
Sure enough, the second wave of Jinsui troops rushed forward under artillery fire, and were soon less than a hundred meters away from the Eighth Route Army position.
"beat!"
Li Qiufan took the lead in firing, killing a charging Jinsui Army soldier with one shot, and at the same time gave everyone the order to fire.
After Li Qiufan fired the first shot, the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the entire position opened fire at the same time, shooting countless bullets forward.
The soldiers of the Jinsui Army who rushed at the front were shot and fell to the ground, while the soldiers behind continued to press forward.
"Commander, ask the garrison brigade to divide a regiment to support the west position! Quick!"
Li Qiufan was observing the situation on the battlefield while firing, and suddenly discovered that the Jinsui Army was concentrating its forces to attack the western position.
After discovering this situation, Li Qiufan immediately asked the messenger to give orders to the garrison brigade as a reserve force to detach a regiment to reinforce the west side position.
The reinforcement reserve team arrived quickly and pushed back the Jinsui Army that was about to rush to the position.
With the help of firepower and geographical advantages, he quickly repelled the second wave of attacks by the Jinsui Army. Li Qiufan immediately asked people to count the casualties and prepare for the enemy's third attack.
"Erhu, what are the casualties?"
Li Qiufan saw Erhu coming back from counting casualties and immediately asked him.
"There were not many casualties. These new recruits were pretty good. They were too scared to shoot."
Erhu smiled and reported the situation of the troops to Li Qiufan, and at the same time he was very satisfied with the performance of his new recruits.
"Humph, you dare to shoot and you are having fun like this? You have no future!"
Li Qiufan snorted coldly, not missing any opportunity to attack his subordinates, and inflicted another heavy blow on the two tigers.
"Hehe, this is enough for the new recruits, what else can you expect from them."
Erhu laughed innocently and didn't care about Li Qiufan's words, just trying to excuse his soldiers.
"Okay, has there been a telegram from Heizi?"
Li Qiufan shook his head and did not continue the topic, but asked if there was any news from Heizi.
"Not yet, I guess it's nothing."
Erhu shook his head. He had not received the telegram from Heizi yet.
"I hope they didn't..."
"Division Commander! Telegram from Deputy Division Commander!"
Before Li Qiufan finished speaking, the telegraph operator trotted over anxiously, holding a telegram in his hand.
