After breaking away from the battle, the reorganized first division quickly began to retreat, completely unaware of the situation they were about to face.
Just when they were about to retreat to Wuqu, they were suddenly ambushed while passing through a forest area, and countless bullets were fired from the dense forest.
The leading troops who reorganized the first division suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and then began to run towards the back.
After learning that they had encountered an ambush on the way to retreat, the commander of the reorganized first division was heartbroken.
Only now did he realize why the other party stopped fighting. It turned out that he took advantage of that moment to set a trap for him.
"Order the four columns to press forward immediately, and also have the artillery brigade suppress the enemy with artillery fire to cover the four columns' charge!"
After receiving the news that the security brigade was approaching the enemy, Li Qiufan immediately let the fourth column press forward and cooperated with the security brigade to implement the encirclement.
The reorganized First Division, which is in the middle of the two armies, can be said to have a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. Moreover, there is only one way to go here. If you want to get out, you can only make a frontal breakthrough.
Compared with the four columns with strong firepower and numerous troops, breaking out from the security brigade is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, the security brigade has already built defenses here, and with the artillery brigade's artillery suppression, it is difficult to get out from here.
Moreover, the four columns behind them are still advancing. At this time, the reorganized first division is in no danger of defending. It is feared that it will be eaten up bit by bit by the four columns before it can successfully break through.
After seeing clearly the situation he was in, the commander of the reorganized first division chose to surrender.
Because if this battle continues, the entire army will be destroyed. Even if they are lucky enough to break out, there may not be many people left, and they will still be dealt with by military law after they return.
Under his order, the soldiers of the first reorganized division put down their weapons and sent negotiators to the fourth column.
After Li Xiping learned that the other party was here to surrender, he immediately took him to see Li Qiufan.
After hearing that the reorganized first division had chosen to surrender, Li Qiufan was a little surprised.
He originally thought that the reorganized first division would resist stubbornly and fight them to the end.
After all, the two sides are old enemies and have suffered heavy casualties because of each other. They should be extremely jealous when they meet again.
But I didn't expect that the battle ended so inexplicably. You must know that the reorganized First Division still had a lot of troops at this time.
"Do you really want to surrender?"
Li Qiufan looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, frowned and asked him.
"Yes, our division commander said that as long as your army promises to treat our troops well, we will surrender to your army."
The person sent to negotiate nodded towards Li Qiufan and said.
"That's no problem. Our People's Liberation Army has always treated prisoners preferentially!"
"You go back and tell your division commander, let him lead the troops out in a queue and leave the weapons where they are!"
Li Qiufan nodded and agreed to the other party's surrender, but he did not dare to let the troops go in to receive it, otherwise it would be troublesome if it was a false surrender.
After seeing Li Qiufan agree, the negotiators of the first reorganized division breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to the reorganized first division's position.
Not long after, the commander of the reorganized first division led his soldiers towards the fourth column, leaving all the weapons in his hands on the position.
Li Qiufan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had indeed surrendered, so that no more people would die.
"Old Zhao, the rest of the work will be left to you. The Fourth Column will be left to you. I will take the security brigade to Yulin!"
After finishing the work of receiving prisoners, Li Qiufan decided to lead the security brigade to Yulin.
"Are you going to Yulin? Isn't it too little to bring just one security brigade?"
Zhao Gang said worriedly when he heard that Li Qiufan was going to Yulin with the security brigade.
"It's quite a few. The first and second columns have passed. There are almost 100,000 people over there. I was just a spectator in the past!"
Li Qiufan shook his head at Zhao Gang. Now that the first and second verticals had entered Yulin, and with the boss's more than 40,000 people there, safety was not a problem at all.
Furthermore, the reinforcements from the national army have withdrawn, and the crisis in Yulin has been resolved.
Also, they took in nearly 20,000 prisoners of the reorganized First Division, as well as a lot of weapons and equipment, which all needed to be escorted back, so Li Qiufan decided to go with only the security brigade.
"Okay, then be careful on the road!"
Zhao Gang nodded to Li Qiufan and said that there was indeed no danger in the current situation, so he did not stop Li Qiufan.
After getting Zhao Gang's consent, Li Qiufan set off with the security brigade.
By the time they arrived, the boss was almost finished and was leading his troops in a fierce offensive against the stubborn defenders.
"Boss, you guys are fighting so fast. I thought it would take a few more days!"
After Li Qiufan arrived with his troops, he arrived at the boss's temporary command post. At this time, the boss was watching the battle on the front line with a telescope.
"Why are you here, kid? Have the national troops withdrawn?"
The boss was a little surprised to see Li Qiufan. He already knew the news that all the national army's support had withdrawn, but he didn't know the situation on Li Qiufan's side, and he didn't expect that he would come to Yulin.
"I'm here to give you a report, and I'll take a walk by the way."
Li Qiufan smiled at the boss and said.
"Walking around? I'm fighting in full swing here. How can you still have time to take a stroll?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the boss raised his leg and kicked him, cursing on his lips.
"I'm telling you, boss, I'm already the commander of the regiment, so don't keep kicking my ass!"
Faced with the boss's kick, Li Qiufan did not dodge, but stood on the spot and received the kick, but then said to the boss aggrievedly.
"Are you kidding me to set things up for me? It's you, the commander of the corps, that I'm kicking!"
The boss burst out laughing when he heard Li Qiufan's words. As he spoke, he raised his leg and gave Li Qiufan another kick.
"Forget it, it's you, the boss. If it were someone else, I would definitely give it back!"
Li Qiufan shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to complain and was kicked again, but who let him be the boss?
"Stop talking nonsense to me, tell me about the situation over there!"
The boss waved his hand towards Li Qiufan, and then asked him about the blocking situation.
"What I encountered over there was the reorganized First Division, which has surrendered. Old Zhao should be escorting them on their way back to their base now."
Seeing that the boss was talking about business, Li Qiufan stopped joking and told the boss about the situation there.
"Surrendered? Are there many casualties?"
After hearing Li Qiufan say that the reorganized first division surrendered, the boss immediately frowned. He thought that the other side surrendered after both sides experienced a bloody battle.
