"Damn it! What the hell is this!"
Li Qiufan was really speechless. He originally wanted to get some benefits, but unexpectedly he became a helper.
"Go, call Ding Wei over to me!"
It's useless to say anything now. Let's ask Ding Wei to come over and learn about the enemy's situation.
It didn't take long before Ding Wei came to Li Qiufan with a few soldiers. When they met, it was a standard military salute.
"Hello, Chief! Ding Wei, Commander of the Second Division of the Northeast People's Autonomous Army, is reporting to you!"
(The position here is purely fabricated, please be gentle!)
"Old Ding, we haven't seen each other for many years!"
Li Qiufan smiled at Ding Wei. The last time they met was when they were fighting Japanese soldiers.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect to meet brothers Qiu Fan, you and Lao Li in the Northeast. God never forgets me, Ding Wei!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan was not putting on any airs, Ding Wei also relaxed and sighed with Li Qiufan.
"Old Ding, don't be too busy reminiscing about old times. Please tell me what's going on. Why are you surrounded by the national army? And how many troops are there?"
Li Qiufan stopped being polite. The most important thing at the moment was to understand the situation. If there were too many enemies, he would be ready to call for support.
Seeing this, Ding Wei didn't hesitate and told Li Qiufan about the situation they were facing now, as well as the ins and outs of his being surrounded.
After the battle in Siping Street, the Northeastern Democratic Alliance Army moved to various rural areas to hibernate and recuperate.
During this period, Ding Wei's Second Division suddenly received an order to represent the Northeast Democratic Alliance to contact the troops that had just arrived in the Northeast.
At that time, he didn't know that it was Li Qiufan and others who came, so he led his troops and marched here based on the intelligence.
However, the national army did not know how they got his traces, and immediately sent two divisions to encircle and suppress him.
In this way, Ding Wei led his troops to retreat while fighting, all the way to this place.
Unexpectedly, the national army had already predicted his route and sent another army to block it.
Fortunately, Li Qiufan arrived here by mistake, otherwise Ding Wei would really have been in trouble.
“Why don’t you contact us on the radio?
After listening to Ding Wei's story, Li Qiufan was a little confused and didn't understand why he didn't contact him on the radio instead of sending troops out to search.
"There is no way. When the troops rushed to the Northeast, they went into battle lightly, and some did not even bring guns."
"There is only one radio station, and it's still at the coalition headquarters."
"Besides, it was damaged during the battle at Siping Street, so I can only send me to search along your retreat direction."
Ding Wei was a little helpless when it came to the radio station. At present, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army only has one radio station, and the radio station equipped by the People's Liberation Army Headquarters has not yet been delivered.
Unfortunately, the only radio station was damaged by the bombing, so I had to go out and look for it on two legs.
"So that's what happened!"
Li Qiufan suddenly realized that he originally thought this was inappropriate. Even if he didn't want to see her anymore, he wouldn't have stopped contacting her after more than half a month.
"Okay, we'll have a chat later when we get to my station, and then we'll have to repel the national army on the opposite side first!"
The battle at this time has become more and more intense, and Li Qiufan no longer cares about chatting with Ding Wei. With such a big movement, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon.
This time Li Qiufan came out with a total of three divisions and one brigade. Among them, Li Yunlong's fifth division had much more troops, totaling about 50,000 people.
The national army on the opposite side was evenly matched with them. One army plus two divisions had a strength of nearly 50,000 people.
Although Li Qiufan still has Ding Wei's troops, since the troops in the Northeast have just begun to develop, there is still a certain gap in weapons and equipment, so nothing can be changed.
At present, Li Qiufan can only push back the enemy troops as soon as possible. If they are forced to drag them down, they will be the ones in danger. The national army on the opposite side may have called for support long ago.
"Send a telegram to the political commissar and ask him to take the heavy artillery division to find a place to build a position. The artillery fire will cover our retreat!"
When the enemy was evenly matched, it was difficult to get rid of the entanglement of the other side, so Li Qiufan could only ask Zhao Gang to bring heavy artillery for support.
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the telegraph operator sent a telegram to Zhao Gang and also sent their location coordinates.
After Zhao Gang received the telegram at the station, he immediately assembled the heavy artillery division and also brought the third division with him just in case. The fourth division and the garrison division were responsible for garrisoning.
"Brother Qiu Fan, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape. The national army has too many troops!"
Ding Wei frowned as he looked at the battlefield. According to the current situation, they would definitely not be able to leave.
"Don't worry, wait until my support is in place! I can't keep you with this little force!"
Li Qiufan waved his hand towards Ding Wei. He was not worried about the national troops in front of him, but he was having some trouble and had to change his location.
He will definitely expose himself as soon as he fights here. The top brass of the national army will definitely not let him go and will definitely send heavy troops to encircle and suppress him.
After all, his troops are different from the Northeast Democratic Coalition. The troops of the Northeast Democratic Coalition are very scattered, unlike his troops who are all together.
The effect of a hundred thousand troops dispersed and gathered together is different. Li Qiufan estimated that he was already on the national army's list.
"Support? Do we still have support?"
Ding Wei was a little confused about Li Qiufan's words and didn't understand who he was referring to as support.
Because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have time to learn too much from Li Yunlong.
I only knew that the highest military officer of this unit was Li Qiufan, but I didn't know that this was only half of Li Qiufan's strength, let alone that Li Qiufan also had a heavy artillery division.
"Haha, wait a little longer, we will retreat when support arrives!"
Li Qiufan did not explain, but smiled at Ding Wei and then looked towards the battlefield.
After the two sides fought back and forth for more than half an hour, Zhao Gang finally sent a telegram stating that everything was ready.
"Call back to the political commissar. We'll be covered by artillery fire in ten minutes!"
Li Qiufan immediately asked the telegraph operator to reply the telegram to Zhao Gang, and then sent someone to notify the troops to prepare for retreat.
Ten minutes came quickly. While Ding Wei was still observing the battlefield situation, suddenly the national army's position was like a bomber, with explosions happening continuously.
This scene instantly stunned Ding Wei. He didn't expect that the support Li Qiufan was talking about was this. At the same time, he felt in his heart what a caliber gun this must be!
At the same time as the shelling began, the troops began to retreat under the cover of artillery fire. Li Qiufan also called on Ding Wei to withdraw.
The bombardment lasted for more than 20 minutes. After the bombardment, the commanders of the national army were confused and did not understand where the other party got such powerful firepower.
