"What are you talking nonsense about?"
Li Qiufan gave Zhao Gang a hard slap on the butt, and then stood up.
Zhao Gang, who had escaped, breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes and got up.
"That Xiaotian, we are just joking!"
After getting up, Zhao Gang explained to Li Qiufan. If he didn't explain, it might not be the rolling pin next time.
"It's okay, I'm just here to deliver some food, you can continue playing!"
Tian Yu's face was still flushed, and he ran away after putting the food on the table.
"Humph, you sour scholar, it's all your fault!"
Watching Tian Yu leave, Li Qiufan began to complain about Zhao Gang.
"Can you please show your conscience when you speak? You are the one holding me down!"
Hearing Li Qiufan complaining about himself, Zhao Gang quit at that time and showed a resentful look.
"Okay, hurry up and eat, it will be so easy for you!"
Li Qiufan didn't want to bother anymore, so he walked directly to the table and started eating.
Seeing that he still had his own share, Zhao Gang hurriedly ran two steps to the table.
After a restful meal, the two of them patted their bellies with satisfaction.
"Qiu Fan, you should say it or not, just enjoy this skill!"
Zhao Gang looked at Li Qiufan with envy and sighed that Tian Yu's cooking was delicious.
"That's right, you don't even know whose eyes it is!"
Hearing Zhao Gang's compliment, Li Qiufan immediately raised his face.
"I complimented you on how fat you were and made you breathless. How shameless!"
Seeing Li Qiufan's pride, Zhao Gang insulted him mercilessly.
"Okay, no more joking, let me tell you about the situation here!"
After the joke, Li Qiufan got down to business and told Zhao Gang about the situation here and about the guerrilla brigade.
After the two talked in the room for a long time, they walked out of the door.
Zhao Gang took his people to the county seat to take up government affairs, while Li Qiufan went to the army.
After arriving at the army, Li Qiufan directly gave orders to the garrison brigade and sent people to take the garrison brigade to the heavy artillery brigade's station.
Then he arranged the newly recruited soldiers and stuffed them all into the fourth division.
In this way, the strength of the Fourth Division reached about 10,000, and it finally took shape.
In the days that followed, all departments were actively preparing for the war, because they all knew that the big battle was not far away, and the national army might come over one day.
Sure enough, half a month later, Li Qiufan received news from the guerrilla brigade, saying that the vanguard of the national army had been discovered.
Upon hearing this, Li Qiufan directly sent scouts to investigate the situation. After all, professional things need to be done by professionals.
Not long after, according to the news brought back by the scouts, there were only two divisions of the national army marching towards them, and no other large troops were seen.
This situation made Li Qiufan a little confused. According to the situation at the headquarters, the national army sent a large force, but how come there were only two divisions here.
Li Qiufan didn't think about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Although it was not a large force, two divisions were still quite a lot.
In the end, Li Qiufan decided to eat these two divisions first. He did not believe that the national army would be able to sit still after losing two divisions.
Just do what he said, Li Qiufan directly ordered the troops to assemble. Except for one brigade left to guard the station, other troops including the heavy artillery brigade were dispatched.
No matter how bad it is, these are two divisions, not two regiments. The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, not to mention the need to prevent emergencies.
However, the national army did not receive any news and continued to advance towards Changle County.
"Heizi, send a brigade to ambush them. Shoot them a few times and then run away. I'll dig a hole for them!"
Li Qiufan looked at the map, asked the soldiers of the guerrilla brigade, and found an excellent ambush location.
Then an order was issued for a brigade to attract the enemy, then lure them into the encirclement, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Under Li Qiufan's order, everyone quickly got busy and rushed to their designated positions.
A brigade sent to lure the enemy over there quickly arrived at its position, waiting in full formation for the arrival of the national army.
It was probably more than an hour before the national army's marching team appeared in everyone's sight.
At this time, the national army was still not alert at all, unaware that danger was approaching them.
Seeing the national army troops walking step by step to the attack position, the brigade commander responsible for luring the enemy directly gave the order to fire.
Suddenly, dense gunshots rang out, and the soldiers of the national army were startled.
The two division commanders of the national army frowned. According to the information they received, there were only some guerrillas here, but they couldn't stop cursing after hearing the intensive gunfire.
I originally thought that these two divisions were just here to make a splash and search for oil and water, but unexpectedly they encountered the entire Eighth Route Army.
Fortunately, judging from the sound of gunfire, it was only about a brigade of troops. If it had been an army's strength, the two of them would have suffered heavy losses.
After figuring out the approximate strength of the Eighth Route Army that ambushed them, the two divisions of the National Army quickly launched a counterattack.
Seeing the national army's posture, the brigade commander who led the team directly ordered the troops to start retreating.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was about to run away, the two division commanders of the National Army immediately ordered their troops to pursue them. After all, the opponent only had one brigade of troops. This was a proper military achievement.
When the time comes to submit the battle report, it won't be a problem to add some water into it and say that a division has been annihilated.
In this way, the two divisions of the national army began to pursue, and were gradually led by this brigade into the encirclement.
Since the national army had just arrived here, they didn't know the situation here at all, and they didn't understand the surrounding terrain, so they didn't think about ambush.
Soon the two divisions of the National Army pursued them into a valley, and the Eighth Route Army they were chasing just now suddenly disappeared.
Such a strange situation finally aroused the alertness of the two national army division commanders, and then they began to shrink their troops.
Before the two of them could make a decision, dense crowds of heads suddenly appeared on both sides of the valley, followed by gunfire.
At this time, no matter how stupid the two division commanders were, they knew they had been ambushed and they would withdraw with their troops along the same route.
But how could Li Qiufan fail to consider this? He had already asked Li Yunlong's Second Division to tie up his pockets and block the retreat route of the national army.
Normally, it would be difficult for Li Yunlong's second division to face two national army divisions alone, but this time it would be easy.
With the fire suppression of other troops, the national army could not organize an effective attack at all, and could only be blocked by Li Yunlong.
The battle ended quickly, and the two divisions of the national army were captured without any disturbance.
Most of the soldiers chose to surrender because they were unable to resist the situation.
Even the two division commanders of the national army were like this. When they saw the disparity in strength between the enemy and ours, and that they were surrounded and could only be beaten passively, they took the lead in surrendering.
