"Ask Li Yunlong why he hasn't arrived yet? Why are you dawdling!"
Since the Jinsui Army had too many troops and they were all concentrated on the second line of defense, the soldiers of the three divisions simply could not defeat them.
Looking at the situation on the battlefield at this time, Li Qiufan felt a little anxious and hurriedly asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Li Yunlong to urge him.
At this time, Li Yunlong had just arrived at the rear of the Jinsui Army and was deploying troops to prepare for battle.
Since he didn't know Li Yunlong's position, Li Qiufan didn't dare to rashly let the heavy artillery brigade provide fire support.
Just when Li Qiufan was extremely anxious, the Jinsui Army's position suddenly broke into commotion.
Li Qiufan was overjoyed when he saw this scene. He knew that Li Yunlong had arrived.
"Damn it, this old boy is finally here!"
Li Qiufan clenched his fists happily, then turned his head to the telegraph operator.
"Send a telegram to the Third and Fourth Divisions and ask them to narrow the encirclement. No one can be let go by me!"
Li Qiufan was ready to close the net, because Li Yunlong had already cut off the Jinsui Army's retreat.
After receiving the news from Li Qiufan, the Third and Fourth Divisions began to narrow the encirclement, so that the Jinsui Army was directly surrounded on the second line.
"Inform the deputy commander and ask him to launch an attack!"
Li Qiufan asked the correspondent to bring the news to Heizi. At this time, Heizi was with the First Division. He was responsible for directing the actions of the three divisions.
After receiving the order, Heizi directly dispatched the commando team organized in advance and began to charge towards the Jinsui Army's position.
Hearing the fierce fighting ahead, Li Yunlong was not willing to lag behind and let his troops launch a charge.
The Third and Fourth Divisions did not move. They had fewer troops and were only responsible for blocking the retreating Jinsui Army in place.
The battle lasted from late night to early morning, and the entire battlefield was obscured by thick smoke.
At this time, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, but no one could do anything.
Li Qiufan was also a little annoyed at this time. He didn't expect the commander of the Jinsui Army to be so tough and refused to surrender even after being beaten like this.
"Report the coordinates to the heavy artillery brigade and ask them to prepare. I'll go up and take a look!"
Li Qiufan left a word to Zhao Gang and walked towards the front line. Zhao Gang was so frightened that he quickly stopped him.
"No! Just stay here!"
Zhao Gang didn't dare to let him go to the front line. What if the heat in his head led the troops to charge.
Li Qiufan was speechless at Zhao Gang's words and could only stay at the command post honestly.
"Tell the deputy commander to give a message to the Jinsui Army and give them twenty minutes to consider surrendering. If they don't surrender after twenty minutes, they will launch an artillery bombardment!"
Li Qiufan had no choice but to ask the correspondent to pass the message, and asked Heizi to shout to the Jinsui Army.
After receiving the order, Heizi immediately shouted at the Jinsui Army's position, but he did not expect that the other party responded to him with a shot.
Hearing the news that the Jinsui Army would not surrender, Li Qiufan shook his head, and then gave the heavy artillery brigade the order to shell.
As the order was issued, endless artillery shells began to pour towards the Jinsui Army's position, and the air waves generated by the explosion continued to sweep across the faces of Heizi and others.
"Hey, how many people can survive after this explosion?"
Seeing the explosion in front of him, Heizi felt a little soft-hearted.
"Go tell the commander to stop the bombardment, and I'll yell again!"
Heizi gritted his teeth and decided to try again. After all, what he was facing now was not the Japanese, but the compatriots who lived on the same land.
Li Qiufan couldn't bear to see the Jinsui Army being bombarded, but he had no choice. He couldn't continue to waste the Jinsui Army unless they surrendered.
If the other party comes with support, his brother and his soldiers will be in danger.
After hearing Heizi's request, Li Qiufan thought for a while and asked the heavy artillery brigade to stop the bombardment.
Seeing that the shelling stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Heizi quickly started shouting again.
After Heizi shouted, two more gunshots rang out from the Jinsui Army's position, but they were not fired at them.
After the gunfire, several officers of the Jinsui Army walked out of the position with their guns raised. Upon seeing this, Heizi hurriedly asked people to bring them over.
"What happened to the gunfire over there just now?"
Several officers were brought to Heizi, and he immediately asked about the gunshots just now.
"We killed a military commander and he refused to let us surrender."
One of the officers' eyes turned red and he said to Heizi.
"Then you came here to surrender?"
Heizi nodded after hearing this, and then asked the other party again.
Several officers nodded one after another, but did not speak.
"Go back and ask your men to leave their guns in their positions. Everyone come out with their hands raised. On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I accept your surrender!"
Seeing the other party nodding, Kuroko breathed a sigh of relief, the battle was finally over.
Several officers returned to the Jinsui Army's position under Heizi's arrangement, and then people began to walk out of the position.
By the time all the Jinsui troops came out, half a day had passed.
At this time, Li Qiufan also came to the front line, and Zhao Gang finally released him after hearing that the other party had surrendered.
"Heizi, immediately arrange for people to clean up the battlefield. The most important thing is to bring back the heavy artillery for me!"
Thinking about the heavy artillery he was about to get, Li Qiufan couldn't help but smile.
However, as the entire battlefield was cleaned up, Heizi did not find any trace of the heavy artillery.
Heizi was also a little confused about this matter. He could clearly see the shelling of the Jinsui Army. There were obviously heavy artillery, but he searched the battlefield and couldn't find it.
After hearing Heizi say that he didn't see the heavy artillery, Li Qiufan immediately came to the prisoners' side.
Zhao Gang was dealing with the prisoners here at this time. Unexpectedly, he looked up and saw Li Qiufan rushing towards him.
"Qiu Fan, why is it so urgent?"
Zhao Gang asked with some confusion. He was smiling happily just now. Why did he change his face so quickly?
"I have no more cannons!"
Li Qiufan said something to Zhao Gang with a dark face, and then came to the place where the officers of the Jinsui Army were guarded.
"Where are your cannons?"
Having just met a group of officers from the Jinsui Army, Li Qiufan asked straight to the point.
Everyone was at a loss when Li Qiufan asked, but no one stood up and spoke.
"I'll ask again, where is my cannon!"
Seeing this scene, Li Qiufan's face turned even darker, and he pulled out a pistol and put it on an officer's head.
"I don't know, I don't have a cannon!"
The officer who was held by Li Qiufan with his gun almost burst into tears. He didn't even understand what Li Qiufan said.
"Sir, are you asking about heavy artillery?"
At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out from the corner, wearing glasses and smiling and asked Li Qiufan.
"That's right!"
Li Qiufan put down his gun when he saw someone standing up, and then said to the person.
