After reading the contents of the telegram, Li Yunlong knew what had happened.
This time he was in debt to Dafa. The First Division actually had to abandon the entire artillery regiment.
After Erhu came to the artillery regiment, he immediately gave the order to the commander of the artillery regiment.
The commander of the artillery regiment was immediately stunned when he heard the order. He thought Erhu had gotten something and went crazy.
"Division Commander, are you serious? All the guns except the mortars were destroyed?"
Wang Jiang, the commander of the artillery regiment, asked Erhu in disbelief, wanting to confirm the authenticity of the order.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It will be ruined if you hurry up!"
Erhu said angrily to Wang Jiang. At this time, his heart was so painful that he was bleeding, but in order to successfully break through, he didn't care so much.
"No! Commander, you can't do this. This is all the wealth of our first division!"
Seeing that Erhu really wanted to destroy the cannon, Wang Jiang said to Erhu with grief and anger, his temper was very similar to that of Lao Ma.
Seeing this, Erhu was a little helpless and could only tell about the breakout.
After all, these people who play with guns regard guns as their lives. Without a reasonable explanation, Wang Jiang may not agree even if Li Qiufan asks.
After listening to Erhu's explanation, Wang Jiang's eyes dimmed, and he understood that the cannon must be destroyed.
After all, they couldn't bring the cannon with them into Peach Tree Mountain. Even if the cannon was dismantled, it would seriously affect their marching speed.
By the time the enemy catches up, it will be too late to throw them away. The best way is to destroy the cannons now to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy.
After thinking about this, Wang Jiang glanced at the artillery on the position reluctantly, and then carried out Erhu's order.
The artillery regiment had put away all the mortars, and a soldier stood beside each of the other mountain artillery, field artillery and infantry artillery. Each of them held a bundle of grenades in their hands.
Then under Wang Jiang's order, the entire artillery regiment began to output madly. He wanted these cannons to contribute their last strength and shoot out as many shells as possible.
Because they couldn't take the artillery shells with them on the road. After all, it was useless to have the artillery shells without the artillery. It was better to shoot them all now and destroy a few more enemies.
The crazy shelling of the First Division made the national army a little surprised, and they didn't understand why the other party was so crazy.
If they continue to fire at the current frequency, it won't take long for their shells to be used up.
At that time, the first division will lose its only advantage and be left to their own devices.
The top brass of the national army discussed it, and finally came to the conclusion that the other side was crazy and engaged in a final fight between trapped beasts.
After obtaining this result, the national army immediately issued an order for each unit to stand still and wait for the opponent's artillery shells to be used up before harvesting.
As time passed, the artillery shells carried by the artillery regiment were quickly used up. Then Wang Jiang endured his heartache and issued the order to destroy the artillery.
The soldiers who had been arranged before immediately pulled off the ring of the grenade, then threw it into the barrel and quickly evacuated.
As muffled sounds rang out, all the artillery barrels deformed to varying degrees.
After confirming that all the artillery had been destroyed, Wang Jiang and the artillery regiment took the only remaining mortars and went to Erhu to recover.
After Erhu saw Wang Jiang's arrival, he immediately issued the order to retreat, and then the entire army began to fight and retreat towards Taoshu Mountain.
After the national army saw that the first division was about to flee, they immediately sent troops to chase them. The two sides chased each other and finally reached Peach Tree Mountain.
After arriving at Peach Tree Mountain, Erhu immediately ordered the troops to enter the mountain. The mountain forest was the place they were most familiar with, and they would be much better off once they entered the mountain.
After seeing the first division plunge into the mountains without hesitation, the commander of the reorganized first division immediately ordered the troops to follow.
After all, there is a high-ranking official in this team that the old fox wants, and he must be retained no matter what.
In addition, the first division's only artillery advantage was gone, and the reorganized first division, which had a strength advantage, would certainly not let them go.
After entering Peach Tree Mountain, the First Division quickly distanced itself from the National Army behind them. However, due to the large number of people, the traces could not be eliminated at all. The National Army relied on these to follow them.
While they were chasing each other in the mountains, Li Qiufan also began to move to Hezhuangping.
After seeing that the People's Liberation Army was no longer attacking but moving, the national army responsible for blocking immediately reported the situation to Lao Fox.
After learning that the People's Liberation Army in the Yan'an area might want to attack, the old fox directly issued an order to pursue.
After all, the 17th Division was reorganized at this time, and the reinforcements of that army were not far from Yan'an.
As long as he entangles the opponent and waits for reinforcements to arrive, he can destroy this powerful People's Liberation Army unit and capture the senior officials of the People's Liberation Army.
After receiving the order from the old fox, the national army responsible for blocking changed to pursuit.
It's just that this group of national troops may have been frightened by Li Qiufan, so they didn't let the troops bite him, but followed him from a distance.
"This won't work. They are too far away and it will affect the plan."
Seeing that this group of national soldiers did not dare to follow, Li Qiufan could not help but frown.
If the situation remains the same after arriving at Hezhuangping, the first division's breakout will be prone to accidents.
When Li Qiufan's side is unable to use force immediately, it will give the enemy time to react. Once his intentions are seen through, the result will be self-evident.
"Inform the troops to speed up, I don't believe they won't catch up!"
Li Qiufan directly issued an order to march urgently, and the overall speed of the troops increased instantly.
Seeing that the People's Liberation Army in front suddenly began to speed up and that his side was about to be thrown away, the commander of the national army in charge of the pursuit immediately gritted his teeth and issued an order to pursue at full speed.
After all, if you let the other party run away, let alone the credit, the old fox might be able to skin him.
Li Qiufan had been paying attention to the situation of the pursuers from behind. After seeing the other party catching up, the corners of his mouth began to turn up slightly.
"Inform the troops, don't worry about the pursuers behind you, just move forward at full speed!"
Li Qiufan now understood the order the other party had received, and simply decided to let go and run away, walking the group of enemies first.
Since Li Qiufan's place was relatively close to Hezhuangping, it only took him most of a day to reach his destination.
At this time, the First Division had just walked out of Taoshu Mountain and was marching towards Chen Tuangou at full speed.
Li Qiufan had anticipated this situation a long time ago. After arriving at the destination, he immediately asked the soldiers to build a position and informed Erhu of his position.
It was already dark at this time. After seeing that Li Qiufan stopped running, the pursuing national army also stopped, but they did not act rashly, and the two sides just faced off.
