The remaining few dozen men of the Fourth Division were also killed, and the entire Fourth Division, about 15,000 men, remained in Ganguyi.
They successfully held back an army and killed nearly 20,000 people in the army.
Seeing that there were only more than 8,000 people left in his side, the commander of the national army sighed helplessly.
Although they defeated the blocking force, the remaining troops were of little use.
Now, rushing to Qinghua Bian is just a drop in the bucket, and maybe we can expand the results for others.
After sending a telegram to the old fox, the army cleaned up the battlefield and retreated.
On Li Qiufan's side, Qing Hua Bian's battle was coming to an end.
Even the garrison division as a reserve force was thrown into the battle by Li Qiufan. He just wanted to end the fighting here quickly so that the Fourth Division could evacuate.
After all, the strength of the Fourth Division still couldn't stop an army, but what he didn't know was that the Fourth Division had already been exhausted.
"Did the Fourth Division reply to the telegram?"
Li Qiufan would ask the telegraph operator to send telegrams to the Fourth Division every once in a while to confirm the situation of the Fourth Division.
But what he didn't know was that Zheng Yuan had not reported truthfully and had been covering up the casualties of the Fourth Division.
It wasn't until the Fourth Division didn't reply to the telegram for a long time that Li Qiufan realized something was wrong.
"Report to Commander, we haven't received a reply from the Fourth Division yet!"
The telegraph operator shook his head at Li Qiufan. It had been a long time since the last reply to the telegram.
"Continue to send telegrams to the Fourth Division!"
Li Qiufan already had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it and asked the telegraph operator to continue sending telegrams to the Fourth Division.
After another ten minutes, there was still no reply from the Fourth Division, and Li Qiufan closed his eyes sadly.
"Tell Erhu and the others to charge me immediately! I will not accept surrender!"
After calming down for a moment, Li Qiufan gritted his teeth and issued the order, but this order shocked Zhao Gang and Heizi's hearts.
"Qiu Fan, you can't be impulsive! This is..."
Zhao Gang quickly spoke to persuade, but his words suddenly stopped after seeing Li Qiufan's blood-red eyes.
"No one's advice is of any use today. I want to avenge my brother!"
Li Qiufan glanced at the people around him, and everyone felt the killing intent in Li Qiufan's eyes.
Upon seeing this, Heizi immediately gave an order to Erhu and others. After hearing this order, several people were a little confused.
Even Li Yunlong didn't understand why Li Qiufan was so murderous and refused to accept surrender, which meant killing everyone.
It would have been better if we had faced the Japanese before. They would definitely have done this.
However, although the national army has a different stance from theirs, they are all Chinese from the same origin, and they really can't bear to be so ruthless.
Several people immediately contacted the headquarters, wanting to reconfirm the order and trying to persuade Li Qiufan.
At this time, Li Qiufan was sitting on the ground blankly, looking in the direction of Ganguyi with blank eyes.
Zhao Gang received the replies from each division. After hearing what Er Hu and others meant, Zhao Gang decided to persuade Li Qiufan again.
"Qiu Fan, Erhu and the others have received news."
Zhao Gang came to Li Qiufan and whispered to him.
"What's wrong?"
Li Qiufan was still looking in the direction of Ganguyi and said to Zhao Gang without looking back.
"They want to confirm the order again, and besides, aren't they being a little too harsh by not accepting surrender?"
Zhao Gang did not know the situation of the Fourth Division at this time, because the telegram to confirm the situation with the Fourth Division was arranged by Li Qiufan himself, so he did not understand why Li Qiufan suddenly became so violent.
"The fourth division is gone!"
Li Qiufan did not answer Zhao Gang's words, but sadly told Zhao Gang about the situation of the Fourth Division.
"What?"
Hearing Li Qiufan's words, Zhao Gang's eyes widened instantly. He did not expect that this was the reason for Li Qiufan's murderous intention.
"puff."
After telling Zhao Gang the reason, Li Qiufan spat out a mouthful of blood and then fell backwards.
"Qiu Fan! Qiu Fan!"
Zhao Gang quickly supported Li Qiufan and shouted to him anxiously.
Hearing Zhao Gang's shout, Heizi and others also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards this side.
After seeing Li Qiufan vomiting blood and fainting, everyone's expressions changed.
"Political Commissar, brother, what's wrong with him?"
Heizi didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Gang.
"Qiu Fan should be overly sad and angry."
After Zhao Gang heard Heizi's words, he said to him with red eyes.
"Sad? What happened?"
Heizi didn't understand why Li Qiufan was sad and angry, and continued to ask Zhao Gang in confusion.
"The fourth division is gone!"
Zhao Gang explained the reason to Heizi, which made Heizi confused.
"Hurry up and get the military doctor here! Heizi, don't stay still. You can take over Qiu Fan's place to direct the battle first, and deal with the remaining enemies as soon as possible. Let's take Qiu Fan back as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Heizi was stunned, Zhao Gang quickly pushed him and asked him to take over from Li Qiufan to command the battle. After all, there was still a war going on.
"Okay, political commissar, take care of my brother. I will resolve the battle as soon as possible, and then we will take him back!"
Kuroko said as tears fell from the corners of his eyes, he wiped his face and walked towards the walkie-talkie.
"I am the deputy commander. I will direct the battle next. The following orders are all issued by me and have nothing to do with the commander!"
"Order! The first, second and fifth divisions attack the enemy immediately!"
"Be sure to annihilate all enemies in the encirclement. Surrender will not be accepted in this battle!"
"I repeat! No one will accept surrender in this battle!"
Heizi directly repeated Li Qiufan's order to everyone, and emphasized that it was him who gave the order and it had nothing to do with Li Qiufan.
He knew what it would mean after the execution of this order, and he chose to bear the consequences for Li Qiufan. This was also what he wanted to do most after knowing that the Fourth Division was gone.
Although Zheng Yuan surrendered from the Jinsui Army, it did not prevent them from having a good relationship. In Heizi's view, Zheng Yuan had long been no different from the brothers who came out of Cangyun Village.
After hearing Heizi's order, Erhu and others frowned again.
Because not only did the order continue to be executed, but the person who gave the order also turned into a black man.
At this time, Zhao Gang was busy taking care of Li Qiufan and had no idea what was happening here.
After pondering for a moment, Erhu and others decided to execute the order. After all, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander had confirmed it, so it was not up to them to put forward their opinions.
The three divisions, together with the garrison division, immediately launched a charge towards the enemy in the encirclement.
The national army, which was originally unable to resist, was directly broken through the defense line. The soldiers of the four divisions continued to harvest the lives of the enemy.
