"Wu Liansheng, the new colonel commander of the 32nd Army, has met the commander!"
Under Li Qiufan's questioning, the visitor stood at attention and saluted to identify himself.
What Li Qiufan didn't expect was that the person who came was actually a group leader.
"The newly formed 32nd Army, go back and tell your commander that there are military exercises going on ahead and this road is blocked!"
Li Qiufan nodded and went straight to the old trick, using military exercises as an excuse.
"Sir, what is your unit number?"
The regiment leader had expected this scene a long time ago. He was actually sent here just for Li Qiufan's number.
"The Eighth Route Army Independent First Column!"
Li Qiufan reported his number without hesitation, and then asked someone to send the other party out.
"Qiu Fan, do you think the other party will withdraw?"
Zhao Gang looked at the fire snake in the distance and asked Li Qiufan.
"How would I know? I'm not their commander, let alone an old man!"
Li Qiufan rolled his eyes and made a joke with Zhao Gang.
"Nothing formal!"
Zhao Gang shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand and punched Li Qiufan.
After the national army learned Li Qiufan's serial number, they immediately contacted the senior officials and then stationed themselves in place.
Until the next morning, the two sides just looked at each other without making any move.
"Brother, the national army on the opposite side has made some moves and seems to be retreating!"
Li Qiufan was nibbling a steamed bun next to the fire, when suddenly Heizi ran over.
"Retreating? What's the plan of this national army?"
Li Qiufan put the steamed bun into his arms and followed Heizi to the front of the position.
At this time, it can be clearly seen that the newly formed 32nd Army is forming its team, and the rear team is already retreating.
"Brother, what will we do if the national army withdraws? Withdraw too?"
Seeing the national army withdrawing, Heizi asked Li Qiufan.
Li Qiufan didn't speak, but thought about what the national army was playing at.
Even if Li Qiufan was beaten to death, he didn't believe that the National Army just came to take a look. The old man was not mentally retarded.
"Brothers, please be more vigilant, it's not that simple!"
Li Qiufan was a little confused, but he always felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so he planned to stay and watch.
But until noon, nothing happened after the national troops withdrew, which made Li Qiufan wonder if there was something wrong with his feelings.
"Heizi, send someone to investigate along the retreat route of the national army and see where they retreated to!"
Li Qiufan decided to wait a little longer. He had a feeling that the other party was playing a big game.
After receiving the order, Heizi quickly dispatched a company of scouts and began to conduct reconnaissance along the retreat route of the national army.
Not long after waiting, the scout came back, and brought back news that made Li Qiufan even more confused.
The newly formed 32nd Army settled down again after withdrawing not far, and did not withdraw to their territory.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong!"
Li Qiufan frowned upon hearing the news and kept mumbling that something was wrong.
"Is there something wrong? Is it possible that the newly formed 32nd Army is here to fish? If only his army comes out to fish, it would be too disrespectful to our Eighth Route Army."
Zhao Gang didn't feel anything was wrong. He felt that no matter how arrogant the old man was, he wouldn't expect one army to wipe out their entire Eighth Route Army.
"Fishing? What you said, Lao Zhao, makes sense! These idiots are hanging on to us right here!"
Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Qiufan suddenly grasped one point, that is, the newly formed 32nd Army was a bait, just to attract their attention.
"Send a telegram to the headquarters immediately and ask them to contact the troops around us to see if they have found any national troops. Hurry!"
Li Qiufan now understands a little bit. The old man may have really played a big game, and maybe the current situation is not good for them!
As soon as the telegram from Li Qiufan arrived at the headquarters, the boss and other leaders immediately realized that this matter was not simple, and hurriedly contacted other troops to inquire.
Unexpectedly, after making contact, other troops discovered traces of a large group of people passing through the defense area through investigation.
This news made the boss feel shocked. It seemed that the national army troops had entered the hinterland of their territory!
After that, the boss quickly sent a telegram to Li Qiufan, ordering his troops to retreat quickly and move closer to the headquarters.
Then a telegram was sent to other troops, asking them to look for traces of the enemy immediately. After all, there were so many people that it was impossible to hide.
"It seems that the enemy took advantage of the night to rush on the road and was not discovered by our people. This old man is really insidious!"
After receiving the telegram from the boss, Li Qiufan sort of straightened out his thinking. The national army had used a beautiful tactical interlude!
"Qiu Fan, let's retreat quickly. We don't know where the National Army troops are at this moment. If there is a problem with the headquarters, it will be troublesome!"
Zhao Gang now had an anxious look on his face, urging Li Qiufan to hurry up and give orders to move closer to the headquarters.
"Heizi, send someone to tell Li Yunlong, the commander of the Second Division, to ask his Second Division to stay on guard in Shuangyang Mountain. At the same time, notify the heavy artillery brigade and ask them to stay too!"
After careful consideration, Li Qiufan decided to leave Li Yunlong's second division and heavy artillery brigade in Shuangyang Mountain.
Because there is a newly formed 32nd Army not far from their front, such an army must be guarded against.
If they were pressed up while retreating, the entire column would be in danger.
Moreover, Li Qiufan also left Zhao Gang here. He was afraid that if something happened, Li Yunlong would not be able to control his temper and cause trouble.
After arranging Li Yunlong and the heavy artillery brigade, Li Qiufan led the first and third divisions and began to move closer to the headquarters.
Before setting out on the road, Li Qiufan released the scouts, and the scope of the investigation was quite large.
Because at this time, the national army troops had entered their hinterland, and they had no idea how many people there were.
In case the two parties meet, this can give Li Qiufan enough time to make arrangements.
After all, this area is all plains, there is no geographical advantage at all, and the positions and trenches must be dug freshly.
The troops marched in a hurry, and after walking for about ten kilometers, the scouts who dispersed suddenly discovered the situation.
The troops were found not far from them, but because they were located in the plains, the scouts did not dare to get too close for reconnaissance, so they could only come back to report the situation first.
Li Qiufan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the news, and he had a bad premonition.
"Heizi, send a report to the headquarters and ask if they are our troops!"
Li Qiufan had probably guessed who it was, but he still felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as Li Qiufan finished speaking, the sound of shelling suddenly came from the direction of Shuangyang Mountain, and everyone turned around to look.
"Damn it! This is for me!"
Only then did Li Qiufan fully understand that this was a trap within a trap. It was not an action against the headquarters at all, but an action against him, Li Qiufan.
This is not a tactical interlude, but a roundabout way of being surrounded by the opponent!
