"Haha, sir, you don't know. That heavy artillery does not belong to our Jinsui Army!"
The officer wearing glasses smiled at Li Qiufan, then shook his head and said.
"Not yours? Not your soldiers who can fire cannons to blow me up?"
Li Qiufan frowned instantly when he heard what the other person said. He felt that this person was joking with him.
"What I said is true, those heavy artillery pieces belong to the 89th Division!"
"Eighty-ninth Division? Why does it sound so familiar?"
Hearing the other party talk about the 89th Division, Li Qiufan felt inexplicably familiar.
"Who is the commander of the 89th Division?"
Li Qiufan thought for a while but had no clue, so he could only ask the officer.
"The commander of the 89th Division is called Chu Yunfei. He used to be our Jin..."
"What? Chu Yunfei?!"
Hearing the name Chu Yunfei, Li Qiufan immediately interrupted the other party's words and asked the officer with wide eyes.
"Yes, sir, do you know Chu Yunfei?"
The glasses officer was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Qiufan would have such a big reaction when he heard Chu Yunfei's name.
"More than just acquaintance! Where is Chu Yunfei?"
Li Qiufan did not expect that the national army he observed before would be Chu Yunfei's 89th Division. No wonder the opponent had heavy artillery.
"I don't know about this either. I didn't see it when your army came over last night."
The glasses officer shook his head. He didn't know where the 89th Division was going.
After hearing what the other party said, Li Qiufan stood there for a while and then hurriedly walked outside.
On Li Yunlong's side, after the Jinsui Army surrendered, he was also leading his troops to clean up the battlefield. The wrinkles on his face wrinkled when he saw the countless guns and ammunition on the battlefield.
Just when he was holding a machine gun and was happy, Zhang Dabiao suddenly rushed over and said that Commander Li was here, and his face was as black as coal.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong hurriedly threw the machine gun to Zhang Dabiao and rushed towards Li Qiufan.
"Brother, what happened?"
Li Yunlong saw Li Qiufan from far away. He thought something had happened and ran over in a hurry.
"Lao Li, did you see Chu Yunfei when you came from behind?"
Li Qiufan asked immediately after seeing Li Yunlong. Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong was stunned after hearing his words.
"Chu Yunfei? Chu Yunfei is here too?"
Li Yunlong was confused at first, and then asked Li Qiufan with his eyes widened.
"That's right! Didn't you encounter the National Army troops?"
Li Qiufan nodded towards Li Yunlong and continued to ask.
"National Army? It seems that we encountered them. When I first launched the attack, I encountered resistance from them."
Li Yunlong nodded, and then he was excited.
"Brother, do you think those are Chu Yunfei's troops?"
Li Yunlong also realized at this moment that the troops blocking him turned out to be Chu Yunfei's people.
"Then what? Where have those national troops gone?"
Li Qiufan nodded towards Li Yunlong, and then asked about the whereabouts of the national army.
"Run away, my people didn't catch up!"
Seeing Li Qiufan nodding, Li Yunlong felt his scalp numb. He actually let Chu Yunfei run away!
After knowing the result, Li Qiufan closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong let Chu Yunfei run away.
"Brother, I didn't know that was Chu Yunfei's army. If I had known earlier, I would have left him alone!"
Li Yunlong also regretted why he didn't send more people to chase him.
But what he didn't know was that no matter how many people he sent, he wouldn't be able to catch up, because the 89th Division was a mechanized force, unless Chu Yunfei was surrounded from the beginning.
"Oh, what a pity for my cannon!"
Li Qiufan slowly opened his eyes, looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Cannon? What cannon?"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Qiufan's words, and then asked him in confusion.
"Heavy artillery! That old boy Chu Yunfei carries a large-caliber American howitzer!"
The heavy cannon that reached his mouth actually flew away, which made Li Qiufan gnash his teeth in hatred.
"American? Howitzer?"
Li Yunlong thought that Li Qiufan really felt sorry for letting Chu Yunfei go, but he didn't expect that it was because of the cannon!
But when Li Yunlong thought about it, it was indeed a pity. That was a heavy artillery!
"That's all, we will meet that old boy again one day. Sooner or later, even the men and artillerymen of his 89th Division will have to be named Li!"
Li Qiufan shook his head regretfully and said, then he seemed to realize something and turned to look at Li Yunlong.
"It's Li Qiufan's Li!"
Li Qiufan said that this sentence felt familiar. It turned out that the real owner was beside him, and then he quickly emphasized that it was his Li.
"Uh, brother, what are you talking about? Which one of us is following the other!"
Li Yunlong stepped forward, hugged Li Qiufan's shoulders, and said to him with a playful smile.
"You and me, don't get close to me!"
Li Qiufan slapped Li Yunlong's hand away in disgust and walked directly towards the command post.
"Hehe, our old Li's Li is the same as yours, I'm not sure whose it is!"
Li Yunlong looked at Li Qiufan's leaving figure and smiled, then continued to search for treasures on the battlefield.
After Li Qiufan returned to the command post, Zhao Gang and others were already waiting for him here.
"Qiu Fan, what were you doing in such a hurry just now?"
Seeing Li Qiufan coming back, Zhao Gang hurriedly asked him.
"It's okay, let's talk about the situation first!"
Li Qiufan waved his hand and did not mention Chu Yunfei's matter.
Seeing this, Zhao Gang nodded, and then reported the casualties of each unit, as well as the situation of the prisoners.
In this battle, the casualties of the 1st, 2nd and 4th Divisions were relatively high. The 1st and 2nd Divisions suffered casualties during the decisive battle, while the 4th Division was just attacked by the Second Army of the Jinsui Army and the newly formed 19th Army.
Fortunately, the three divisions are still relatively intact and can be restored quickly as long as they have enough troops.
When it was the prisoner's turn, Zhao Gang suddenly got stuck, which made Li Qiufan very confused.
"What's up, Lao Zhao, keep talking!"
Li Qiufan looked at Zhao Gang in confusion and urged him to continue reporting.
"Hoo~"
"This time we captured a total of 63,531 enemy soldiers!"
Zhao Gang looked at the number of prisoners counted on the paper and took a deep breath before speaking out.
In this battle, they wiped out nearly 40,000 Jinsui troops, and the remaining 60,000 people all surrendered.
This was the largest number of casualties they ever inflicted, as well as the largest number of prisoners ever taken.
"Alas, what a pity those heavy artillery pieces!"
Hearing that there were more than 60,000 prisoners, Li Qiufan didn't feel the slightest ripple in his heart. He still regretted those heavy artillery pieces.
Because there will be more prisoners in wars in the future, and they may also suffer from headaches. In comparison, heavy artillery is really hard to come by!
