After five or six days of marching, the troops finally arrived at the arsenal. They made a long circle in order to get here to get the artillery shells.
Just after loading all the artillery shells into the truck, the telegraph operator suddenly found Li Qiufan with a telegram.
The telegraph operator was very confused about this telegram, because there was no signature on the telegram, but its content brought them important information.
The telegraph operator explained his doubts to Li Qiufan. After hearing this, he reached out and took the telegram and read it.
The information conveyed by the telegram was that two divisions of the national army were approaching them, and they were not far away from them.
The moment he saw the telegram, Li Qiufan understood what was going on. It was a telegram from the monk.
Apart from the headquarters and the division and brigade-level troops to which the column belongs, the only people who know their radio frequencies are monks.
But what followed was confusion. Li Qiufan couldn't understand how the two divisions of the national army dared to come and attack his column.
"Heizi, send someone to conduct reconnaissance in the southeast to see how far away the national army is from us!"
Li Qiufan simply stopped thinking about it and asked Heizi to send someone out to investigate.
After all, the national army only has two divisions, so meeting him Li Qiufan is like throwing an egg against a stone.
After more than half a day, two scouts on horseback finally came back, and at the same time they brought back news about the national army.
The national troops of these two divisions seemed to have figured out the defense situation in this area, and they actually avoided all the spies along the way.
Fortunately, the monk and the others were sent out by Li Qiufan to explore the way, otherwise they would have been touched by the time they found out.
After learning about the situation of the national army, Li Qiufan discussed it with everyone.
In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that the national troops of these two divisions came not for them, but for the arsenal.
Maybe the national army had already set its sights on this arsenal, and after figuring out the situation, they were about to take action. Unexpectedly, they happened to bump into Li Qiufan passing by to pick up artillery shells. It was an accidental collision.
After coming to this conclusion, everyone looked at each other and laughed. They could only think that these two divisions were unlucky when they encountered them!
When the person in charge of the arsenal learned the news, he was suddenly shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
If Li Qiufan did this earlier or later, his arsenal would be in danger. Fortunately, Li Qiufan happened to be stuck at this time.
There are 100,000 troops here, so the person in charge of the arsenal is naturally not in a hurry, and leisurely arranges to start evacuating this place.
The location of the arsenal has been grasped by the enemy, and Li Qiufan's troops will not stay long, so the person in charge can only move the location.
The arsenal here is transferring equipment and supplies, while on the other side Li Qiufan and others are discussing how to deal with the two divisions of the national army.
After learning that two divisions of the national army were approaching, everyone was actively asking for a fight, with Erhu and Li Yunlong fighting the most fiercely.
Ever since Li Yunlong was left behind by Li Qiufan, Erhu had felt a sense of crisis.
In the past, the First Division had the strongest combat effectiveness, and most of its cadres were Li Qiufan's veterans.
But everything has changed since Li Yunlong came, because Li Yunlong's troops are not weak in combat effectiveness.
Especially in terms of military strength, Li Yunlong's Fifth Division was nearly twice as large as the First Division.
Of course, there is no need to mention weapons and equipment. Li Yunlong's fifth division has an independent artillery regiment, which he brought here himself, and Li Qiufan did not merge it into the heavy artillery division.
From this, the two tigers started to have a competitive mentality and wanted to compete with Li Yunlong to see whose troops were the strongest in the entire column.
"That's enough! Stop arguing!"
Listening to a group of division commanders and brigade commanders cursing, Li Qiufan's head was buzzing, as if he had arrived at a vegetable market and was haggling with a group of ladies.
"This mission is carried out by the 1st and 5th divisions! The garrison division serves as a reserve team and is ready to support at any time."
"Other troops stay at the arsenal in case the National Army has other back-up reinforcements!"
Li Qiufan directly decided on the troops to go into battle. Naturally, everyone had no objection to Li Qiufan's decision.
Erhu and Li Yunlong glared at each other, then said goodbye to Li Qiufan and set off with the troops.
This time Li Qiufan did not go with him. After all, they were just two miscellaneous divisions from the national army.
If Erhu and Li Yunlong can't even deal with this kind of thing, then they can really go home and farm!
After waiting for nearly two days, one of the two divisions finally returned, Li Yunlong's fifth division.
Seeing that he came back one step ahead of the other two tigers, Li Yunlong grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears.
After waiting for more than a long time, I saw Erhu rushing back with his troops, and he looked a little tired.
"What happened?"
Seeing how tired the soldiers of the First Division were, Li Qiufan frowned and asked Erhu.
"Damn it, these national soldiers ran away as soon as they met! I chased them for dozens of miles before catching up!"
Speaking of why everyone was so tired, Erhu immediately became angry.
Everything was fine originally, Erhu led the soldiers of the First Division to set up an ambush circle.
But I didn't expect that the division commander of the National Army was a coward. He led his people to run away as soon as they got into trouble, and did not fight Erhu and the others at all.
Helplessly, Erhu didn't want to lose to Li Yunlong, so he could only lead his troops to catch up.
Unexpectedly, the pursuit lasted for more than 20 miles, and it was not easy to defeat this division of the national army.
"Nonsense!"
After listening to Er Hu's story, Li Qiufan slammed the table angrily, pointed at Er Hu's nose and roared.
Before Erhu could realize what was going on, he was immediately stunned by Li Qiufan's roar.
"You're such a fool, give me three days of confinement! The position of division commander is temporarily lifted, and your deputy division commander will act as the deputy commander of the first division!"
Without giving Er Hu a chance to react, Li Qiufan immediately put him in solitary confinement and even lost his position as division commander.
"Qiu Fan, we still have to go on our way, where can we go to solitary confinement here?"
Seeing that Erhu was stunned and unresponsive, Zhao Gang quickly stood up and spoke for him.
"Huh, if there's no solitary room, just put him in a car! I'll give him a special privilege. I can only carry him alone in the car!"
Li Qiufan was really angry this time. He didn't expect Erhu to lead the entire division to blindly pursue the enemy because of their competitiveness.
If the enemy has an ambush, the division will be eaten by others. This is irresponsible to all the soldiers of the division!
At this time, Erhu also calmed down, and he couldn't help but shed a cold sweat when he thought about what he had done. He was indeed impulsive in this matter.
Seeing that Li Qiufan was really angry, no one dared to persuade him. After all, his temper was well known to everyone.
Erhu was unloaded by two guards and taken to the heavy artillery division. He was immediately put into a carriage full of artillery shells and locked up in confinement.
