Thinking that Li Qiufan had always been obsessed with American equipment, he immediately sent the news back.

After listening to Li Qiufan's story, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang suddenly realized that no wonder Li Qiufan said that he was happier than winning the battle.

"Old Li, you go back immediately to assemble the troops. This batch of equipment must be named Li!"

After explaining the whole story, Li Qiufan directly gave Li Yunlong an order, and he decided to snatch back this batch of American equipment.

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up after hearing the order, and he immediately ran back to the camp to gather troops.

"Qiu Fan, can you just bring one of Lao Li's divisions? If not, bring the heavy artillery division!"

Seeing that Li Qiufan had only assembled Li Yunlong's fifth division, Zhao Gang said with some concern.

"Don't worry, you won't run away if you can't beat me? Besides, this operation requires mobility. The mobility of the heavy artillery division is too poor. It won't be of much help if you go there."

The main theme of this operation is a quick word, quickly passing through, and then quickly ending the battle and evacuating, without giving the national army a chance to react.

It's not that Li Qiufan never thought of bringing a heavy artillery division, but bringing a heavy artillery division would mean making a big noise.

The national army has mobilized so many troops this time. Once they are delayed, they will be in danger. If they fail to steal the chicken, they will have to catch up with them.

"Okay, please pay attention to your own safety. If you need support, send me a telegram as soon as possible. I will lead the troops and rush over as quickly as possible!"

Hearing Li Qiufan's words, Zhao Gang could only nod his head. After all, what Li Qiufan said did make sense.

It didn't take long for Li Yunlong's fifth division to be assembled. After Li Qiufan arrived, he took his troops and left the station, moving quickly in the direction of the second division.

After traveling for a day, Li Qiufan finally led his troops to the activity range of the Second Division and contacted the sentries sent by the Second Division.

After receiving the news of Li Qiufan's arrival, he immediately rushed over with the second division to join him.

After meeting Li Qiufan, he immediately told Li Qiufan the detailed information he had learned.

This time, the national army's transportation equipment took the waterway, landing at Huludao Port and then transported to Jinzhou City.

Therefore, if they want to take action, they can only do it on the land route between Huludao and Jinzhou, and they will also have to face the national troops escorting along the way, as well as the garrison in Jinzhou who will rush to support at any time.

Li Qiufan frowned when he heard this. This left them too little time to take action. If they could not attack for a long time, they would be surrounded by reinforcements coming from the other side.

Moreover, from the intelligence obtained, we know that there is at least one corps escorting the troops along the way, and the combined strength of their two divisions is equivalent to that of the opponent.

And there is no guarantee whether there will be more troops, which is undoubtedly a bit more difficult.

But he was a little unwilling to let Li Qiufan give up like this, and then he sat on the ground and meditated.

After a while, Li Qiufan finally made up his mind and decided to continue taking action.

At the same time, he sent a telegram to a division relatively close to Jinzhou, asking them to cooperate with his actions. If the garrison in Jinzhou leaves the city, they will immediately block it.

Since being besieged by Qiu Fan last time, the national army has directly arranged two divisions in Jinzhou, and there is also a 184th Division stationed not far to the north of Jinzhou.

Moreover, the 93rd Army was stationed in Fuxin, the same army that Li Qiufan chased all the way to Jinzhou City.

In other words, once a fight breaks out, the first thing a division has to face is the two divisions of the national army.

If Li Qiufan cannot succeed in a short period of time, the troops faced by the First Division will be added to the 184th Division, which is equivalent to an army.

Moreover, the 93rd Army will definitely come as quickly as possible, which is quite a pressure.

But there is no better way besides this. Li Qiufan can only resolve the battle as soon as possible so that the first division's blocking mission can end as soon as possible.

After making arrangements for Jinzhou, Li Qiufan began to study their course of action.

After several people studied the map, they finally selected the ambush location, a place called Dongshan.

That is the only way for the national army to rush to Jinzhou, and the terrain there is complex, which is very suitable for an ambush.

After determining the location of the ambush, Li Qiufan rushed to Dongshan with two divisions, avoiding all villages, counties and towns along the way in case there were national army spies inside.

After marching for a day and night, Li Qiufan finally arrived at Dongshan. At the same time, according to the information given by the prisoners, the warship had already arrived at the port.

After arriving at Dongshan, Li Qiufan observed the terrain and then selected an ambush position. The two divisions were hidden on both sides of the main road.

After waiting for another two days, Li Qiufan and others finally saw the national army's team. The mighty march was like a long snake.

Li Qiufan made a rough estimate and found that the troops escorted this time definitely exceeded the strength of an army, probably about one more division.

This is tantamount to adding insult to injury. It is already very difficult for one army, but the addition of an additional division doubles the pressure on everyone.

But at this moment, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. They had been lying in wait for so long, and it would be unreasonable to return without success.

After sparing the leading troops of the national army, Li Qiufan and others finally saw the supplies escorted by the other party. What he did not expect was that a cannon was dragged behind the car in the center of the team.

And there are a total of twelve guns. Judging from the length of the barrel and the number of troops, it is definitely a heavy artillery, but it is not clear what caliber it is.

"Brother, we are going to get rich this time!"

Seeing the cannon dragged behind the car, Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed and he whispered excitedly to Li Qiufan.

"Don't get too happy too soon, we still have to wait and see if we can take it back!"

Li Qiufan didn't feel that he was bound to win, and the current situation made him feel a little unsure.

After the opponent's Chinese army reached the ambush circle, Li Qiufan directly raised his pistol and fired the first shot of the battle, followed by full firepower from the two divisions.

The marching national army was stunned by this sudden ambush. They never thought that someone would go deep here to ambush them.

After a moment of panic, the national army stabilized their position and began to rely on cars, rocks, etc. as bunkers to launch a counterattack against Li Qiufan and others.

"Send the order and ask the brothers to greet me with grenades, but be careful not to blow up my cannon!"

Li Qiufan did not bring any heavy weapons during this operation, only light mortars and grenades could be used.

At this moment, grenades are far more effective than mortars. After all, all you need to do is throw grenades. One for each person is enough for the national army to drink a pot.
