Chu Yunfei knew a little about Zheng Yuan's situation, and he was one of the few people Chu Yunfei would look at with a straight eye.
"Mr. Zheng, is there anything else you need Chu to do? Just say it and Chu will definitely do it!"
Chu Yunfei did not refuse his death, because if no one stood up, more people would die.
"What can I do if I am alone? I just hope that Brother Chu can find my bones in the future and bury me and my wife, children and children together!"
Zheng Yuan shook his head. He had nothing to worry about anymore. His greatest wish was to reunite his family, even if they were together in the netherworld.
"Don't worry, Brother Zheng, if there is a chance in the future, Chu will definitely do it!"
At this moment, Chu Yunfei no longer called him Master Zheng, but Brother Zheng.
He recognized the man in front of him who stood up, and secretly swore in his heart that one day he would find his bones and fulfill his wish.
"But even though I stayed, I am afraid that the strength of my division alone cannot stop the independent division on the opposite side."
Zheng Yuan suddenly thought of something again and said to Chu Yunfei.
Indeed, trying to stop Li Qiufan with just one division would be tantamount to wishful thinking.
In addition, there is also a brigade of Li Yunlong, which makes it even more impossible.
You must know that their divisions are all in normal formation, not like Li Qiufan's independent division. On the surface, they are called a division, but in fact they have an army.
Chu Yunfei nodded after hearing this. Zheng Yuan was telling the truth. It was impossible for him to stop Li Qiufan with just his strength.
"Everyone, if you can't stay here to stop the enemy, is it okay to contribute some troops now?"
Chu Yunfei turned his attention to the group of people in front of him again. Some people were already going to die. If these people were not even willing to order troops, then he would be really angry.
Fortunately, they were only asked to send troops, not to die, so everyone generously sent their troops.
After a short meeting, everyone assembled another division of troops and asked Zheng Yuan to lead them together to block Li Qiufan.
The two divisions totaled about 14,000 to 5,000 men. In fact, it would be difficult for this force to stop Li Qiufan.
But Chu Yunfei didn't dare to divide too many troops. If he divided his troops again, it would be a problem for them to break through.
After all, there were quite a few Eighth Route Army troops surrounding them. After all, they wanted to eat 50,000 of them, so the number of troops dispatched could not be too small.
"Brother Zheng, I leave everything to you!"
After handing over the troops, Chu Yunfei solemnly saluted Zheng Yuan with a military salute.
"I wish you a successful breakout!"
Zheng Yuan also gave a military salute in return. He still respected Chu Yunfei very much.
After saying goodbye, Zheng Yuan led his soldiers to take over the position, and Chu Yunfei led his men to retreat.
"Commander! The Jinsui Army on the opposite side is running away!"
On the Independent Division side, the soldiers who were assigned to observe the movements of the Shanxi-Sui Army suddenly ran over and reported.
"Ran?"
Li Qiufan stood up hurriedly, came to the front line and looked at the opposite position.
Sure enough, part of the Jinsui army was retreating backwards, and it looked like they were about to run away.
"No, there are still people on the position. It seems that some of the troops have been left to block us!"
Li Qiufan soon discovered something was wrong. Although the Jinsui Army was retreating, it was not a full retreat.
There are still a lot of troops left on the position, still watching them closely.
"Go and notify the deputy division commander and brigade commander Li Yunlong to come and discuss matters!"
Li Qiufan asked his men to call Heizi and Li Yunlong over, wanting to hear their thoughts.
Soon Li Yunlong and Heizi rushed over and came to Li Qiufan's side.
"Chu Yunfei has started to retreat, but he probably left some people behind to block us. What do you think?"
After the two arrived, Li Qiufan asked directly without any ink.
"It seems that there are quite a few people left, at least 10,000 people!"
Li Yunlong looked at the opposite position and said with a frown.
"Such a good opportunity must not be let go by them. I will take the lead and hold Chu Yunfei back!"
Heizi didn't care how many people were left on the other side, he only had one idea, and that was revenge!
"If we want to hold Chu Yunfei back, we must first deal with the troops left by Chu Yunfei, otherwise it will be impossible to catch up with him."
Li Qiufan shook his head at Heizi. He naturally knew that Heizi wanted revenge, but given the current situation, it would be difficult for them to hold Chu Yunfei back.
"Then we can't just let him run away like that!"
Heizi was a little anxious. He was thinking about revenge for the brothers who sacrificed their lives in the Second and Third Brigades all the time. Now that he was asked to watch his enemies leave in style, he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
"Don't be angry! Now is not the time to be impulsive!"
Li Qiufan held down the furious Heizi and shouted to stop him.
"Brother Heizi, Qiu Fan is right. Don't be too impatient. Sooner or later, you will have a chance for revenge!"
Li Yunlong also expressed relief.
Under the words of the two men, Heizi had no choice but to put aside the idea of revenge.
"No matter what, we can't let the Jinsui Army be so relaxed. You go back and assemble your troops and prepare to launch a counterattack against the Jinsui Army!"
Although Li Qiufan knew that the person left behind was a scapegoat, he still had to fight him.
No matter what, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would hold back Chu Yunfei.
Under Li Qiufan's order, all the troops quickly gathered and were waiting for him to give the order to charge.
"Send a report to the heavy artillery brigade and ask them to set the target as the Jinsui Army's position. Give them a big gift first!"
Li Qiufan called the telegraph operator and asked him to send a telegram to the heavy artillery brigade.
As the telegram was sent, the heavy artillery brigade quickly adjusted its angle and position and aimed at the Jinsui Army's position.
After firing a few test rounds and adjusting the landing point, the clarion call for counterattack was officially sounded.
The artillery shells from the heavy artillery brigade continued to fall on the Jinsui Army's positions, causing smoke to fill everywhere.
Zheng Yuan was also in contact with Li Qiufan for the first time, and he was stunned by the fierce fire.
After fighting for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such fierce artillery fire.
Even if he had fought against Japs before, he had never encountered an artillery piece with such a caliber.
On Li Qiufan's side, looking at the Jinsui Army's position that was constantly exploding, he waved his hand and directly gave the order to attack.
After receiving the order, Erhu led a brigade to bear the brunt and rushed straight towards the Jinsui Army position.
Seeing this, Li Yunlong and Heizi on both sides blew the charge horn and launched a full-scale counterattack.
It's just that on Li Yunlong's side, Zhang Dabiao was leading the charge, while on Heizi's side, he went into battle himself and rushed out with his troops.
"Nonsense! Quickly drag the deputy division commander back to me!"
Li Qiufan saw Heizi leading the charge at a glance, and immediately sent guards to drag him back.
Chu Yunfei, who had just left not far away, suddenly heard the sound of gunfire behind him.
He turned around slowly and looked in the direction of the position with complicated eyes.
