Li Qiufan didn't say anything else after that, but truthfully conveyed the order from the coalition headquarters to Ding Wei.
"Brother Qiu Fan, are you going back with me?"
Ding Wei didn't know that the coalition headquarters had no arrangements for Li Qiufan, and thought he would go with him.
"The coalition headquarters didn't give me an order. I'd better stay here first. The scenery here is pretty good."
Li Qiufan waved his hand towards Ding Wei and said to him with a smile.
"I didn't give you an order? I shouldn't have."
Ding Wei frowned when he heard Li Qiufan's words. He also didn't understand what the coalition headquarters was doing.
"Okay, the coalition headquarters may have other arrangements for me, so let's not dwell on this matter anymore!"
Li Qiufan smiled and patted Ding Wei on the shoulder. He didn't care at all about this matter.
Seeing this, Ding Wei could only nod his head with mixed emotions, then said goodbye to Li Qiufan, took his troops and left.
"Qiu Fan, what should we do next?"
After seeing Ding Wei leave, Zhao Gang asked Li Qiufan.
"We develop on our own without orders. It just so happens that it's better to be unfettered like this!"
Li Qiufan turned around and walked away without saying a word. After hearing this, Zhao Gang thought about it and this was indeed a good idea.
After returning to the headquarters, Li Qiufan convened a meeting with cadres at the division and brigade levels. Everyone thought there was some combat mission, so they hurried to the headquarters in a hurry.
"I called you here to talk about something. The coalition headquarters has no arrangements for us, so I decided to develop on our own."
"But the target of the entire column is too big, and the maneuverability is not strong, so I decided to let you take the troops out on your own."
Li Qiufan thought about Li Yunlong's initial defeat, and then organized the troops into companies and battalions. The final effect was also very good.
This method can just deal with the current situation. After all, the national army is still powerful in the Northeast, and his 100,000 people cannot make any waves, so he can only slowly build up momentum.
Everyone was a little confused when they heard Li Qiufan's words. They thought they were on a combat mission, but unexpectedly they were kicked out of the house.
But one person was extremely excited, and that was Li Yunlong.
He was already imagining a better life after leaving. It was not that he was unhappy staying with Li Qiufan, but that Li Qiufan suppressed his restless heart all the time.
"Brother... uh... Commander, when will we set off?"
Li Yunlong asked Li Qiufan expectantly.
"Haha, Lao Li, don't think about it. I have decided to stay at the station with your fifth division. Let's give this opportunity to other troops!"
When he heard Li Yunlong calling him commander, Li Qiufan immediately understood what he was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu and immediately asked him to stay.
"No, Commander, I think there is still room for development in my unit. Please let me go out and take a look!"
When he heard that Li Qiufan wanted to leave him at the station, Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he said to Li Qiufan anxiously.
"There is no need to discuss this matter, just stay at the station with peace of mind!"
Li Qiufan didn't give Li Yunlong any chance because he was afraid that once Li Yunlong was released, the entire column would have to surround him.
Seeing that Li Qiufan refused to agree to anything, Li Yunlong lowered his head in despair. Everyone else watching this scene laughed.
"In addition to the fifth division, the garrison division and the heavy artillery division also stayed at the station, and other units followed the orders."
"Besides, if you encounter any danger, you must send a telegram to me immediately. I don't want to be late in delivering the coffin to you!"
Li Qiufan settled the matter, and then warned everyone before letting them leave.
"Qiu Fan, is this okay?"
Zhao Gang was a little worried about Li Qiufan's order this time. He was afraid that something might happen if the troops were so scattered.
"My great political commissar, just keep it in your heart. You will know when they come back!"
Li Qiufan comforted Zhao Gang helplessly and thought to himself, didn't you see the way Li Yunlong looked just now? He is the kind of person who will suffer.
The next day, except for Li Yunlong's fifth division, as well as the garrison division and heavy artillery division, other troops left their bases and went to various parts of the Northeast to develop independently.
The depressed Li Yunlong approached Li Qiufan. He was determined to get Li Qiufan drunk with several bottles of wine, so that he would agree to let him out.
But Li Qiufan already knew what he was thinking, and immediately sent someone to call Zhao Gang over.
It was originally a situation where it was either you or me, but he was forced to drink it and Li Yunlong poured it by himself. In the end, he was carried back by the guards when he returned.
After this encounter, Li Yunlong completely gave up and started training troops at the station.
More than a month passed quickly. During this period, Li Qiufan continued to receive good news from various units, which proved the correctness of his idea.
Zhao Gang was also happy after seeing these good news. He did not expect that the troops would develop so well after being released.
Only Li Yunlong was a little depressed. He had known this result for a long time, but he suffered because Li Qiufan wouldn't let him come forward.
On this day, Li Qiufan, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were chatting at the headquarters. Suddenly, the telegraph operator sent a telegram from the Second Division.
Li Qiufan and the others thought it was another good news, so they immediately reached out and took it.
But when he looked at Li Qiufan, he had a strange look on his face, and then the corners of his mouth began to turn up slightly.
"Qiu Fan, what victory did the Second Division win? Tell us quickly!"
Seeing the corners of Li Qiufan's mouth turning up, Zhao Gang thought that the Second Division had won some great victory, so he anxiously said to Li Qiufan.
"Haha, this is not a battle report, but it makes me much happier than winning the battle!"
Li Qiufan smiled at Zhao Gang, but what he said made him and Li Yunlong a little confused.
"What's going on, brother, stop being so secretive and tell me and the political commissar!"
Seeing Li Qiufan's mysterious appearance, Li Yunlong's curiosity was aroused and he looked at Li Qiufan with wide eyes.
"After the last battle, I got a piece of information from the prisoners. The old man has supplied a batch of American equipment to the Northeast, and it will be shipped here soon!"
Seeing that both of them were impatient, Li Qiufan revealed the contents of the telegram.
Previously, he led the Second Division in a battle, annihilating two regiments of the national army and capturing many people.
One of the regiments received an order to deploy defense, but was intercepted halfway. The reason for this regiment's deployment was precisely because of this batch of American equipment.
In order to ensure the safety of transporting equipment, the national army mobilized a large number of troops to the transportation line to prevent sneak attacks by the People's Liberation Army.
However, they didn't expect that before the group could reach their destination, they were directly stopped by the group and asked about the news.
