"Boss, what you did is not fair!"
Li Qiufan glanced at several combat staff officers, then pulled the boss to the side and said.
"What's wrong with me? Why don't I just tell her about Bao'er's work?"
The boss was a little confused and said to Li Qiufan with an innocent expression.
"Okay, I'm overthinking it."
Li Qiufan thought that the boss did it on purpose, but judging from the boss's expression and reaction, it seemed that he was overthinking it.
"By the way, the shells will probably arrive tonight. When will you set off?"
The boss suddenly remembered the cannonball, and then asked Li Qiufan.
"So fast? Then I'll leave overnight!"
Li Qiufan was a little surprised when he heard the boss's words. He didn't expect the artillery shells to arrive so quickly, and then decided to rush to Suide overnight to join the troops.
"That's fine, you go over there early to take charge of the overall situation and capture Suide as soon as possible!"
The boss nodded towards Li Qiufan and said.
"Then you keep busy, I'll go out for a walk."
Li Qiufan chatted with the boss for a few words and then left the headquarters, taking Bao'er to the camp where the military troops were stationed.
After arriving at the camp, Li Qiufan found the leader of his regiment, informed him of the news of his departure at night, and then waited for the arrival of the artillery shells.
Time soon came to night, and the artillery shells were finally transported to the military headquarters. Li Qiufan found Bao'er after sending someone to take over.
"Go say goodbye to those skinny monkeys. If you can't bear to leave, you can stay here. I have no objection!"
Li Qiufan still wanted to keep Bao'er at the military headquarters and planned to play a set of emotional cards with her.
"I will be right back!"
Unexpectedly, Baoer didn't take the bait at all. After saying something to Li Qiufan, he ran towards the little boys.
After some warnings and the cries of several boys, Baoer quickly returned to Li Qiufan.
"Set off!"
Li Qiufan looked at Bao'er and shook his head helplessly, and then gave the order to set off.
Li Qiufan led his troops straight towards Mizhi. He had already sent a telegram to Zhao Gang, asking him to send troops to meet him in Mizhi.
At this time, several columns have all entered the Suide area and are cleaning up the remnants of the national army everywhere.
After several days of journey, Li Qiufan finally led his troops to Mizhi and joined the troops sent by Zhao Gang to meet him.
"If I remember correctly, your name is Xu Lin, right?"
After the two troops met, Li Qiufan asked the leader.
"Xu Lin, Commander of the Ninth Brigade of the First Column and Third Division!"
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, Xu Lin excitedly saluted Li Qiufan with a military salute and reported his position at the same time.
"Not bad! Remember not long ago you were the group leader, so do your best!"
Li Qiufan patted Xu Lin's shoulder with satisfaction and said, which made Xu Lin a little overwhelmed.
"Where is the political commissar now?"
After complimenting him, Li Qiufan asked Xu Lin about Zhao Gang's whereabouts.
"The political commissar will be in Shilipu now. Shall we go and meet the political commissar?"
After Xu Lin heard Li Qiufan's words, he immediately told Zhao Gang's location.
"Go to Shilipu and meet the political commissar!"
Li Qiufan nodded towards Xu Lin, and then ordered the troops to set off towards Shilipu.
After marching for another two days or so, everyone finally arrived at Shilipu and joined the large army.
"Qiu Fan, you are finally back!"
After arriving at Shilipu, Li Qiufan came to the temporary headquarters. Zhao Gang gave Li Qiufan a hug when he saw him coming back.
"I said, Lao Zhao, since when did you become so insensitive? Let me go quickly!"
Li Qiufan felt a little uncomfortable being hugged by Zhao Gang and pushed him a few times in disgust.
"Hey, what's your attitude? I think you're still thinking of making a mistake?"
Hearing Li Qiufan's words, Zhao Gang was unhappy and immediately let go of him and started to fight.
"Stop talking nonsense, where are the troops now?"
Li Qiufan pretended not to hear what Zhao Gang said and walked to the map to look at it.
"The troops are now...what the hell?"
When Zhao Gang saw Li Qiufan ignoring him, he curled his lips in boredom, and then prepared to report the positions of each unit.
But before he could start reporting, Li Qiufan walked to the side and exposed Bao'er behind him, which made Zhao Gang curse.
"What the hell? What is this place?"
Li Qiufan was still looking down at the map. When he heard Zhao Gang's words, he thought it was a place name and started searching for it on the map.
"female!"
Zhao Gang pointed at Bao'er and said something again. Only then did Li Qiufan realize that something was wrong. He looked up and realized something.
"What did you do with your stupid surprise? It made me search blindly on the map for a long time!"
After knowing that Zhao Gang was surprised because of Bao'er, Li Qiufan said to him angrily.
Zhao Gang was not in the mood to care whether Li Qiufan was angry or not. He turned around and pulled Li Qiufan to the side.
"Qiu Fan, why did you bring a female soldier back? What's the relationship between you two? You can't make a mistake!"
Zhao Gang whispered to Li Qiufan, glancing at Bao'er from time to time, as if he was a thief.
"What are you talking about? We have nothing to do with each other! Stop talking nonsense!"
When Li Qiufan heard Zhao Gang's words, he immediately yelled at him, and then explained Bao'er's origin, and Zhao Gang suddenly realized it.
"So that's what happened. I thought you were going to make a mistake!"
Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not what he thought.
"Okay, stop thinking about it and tell me the location of each unit and the current situation in the Suide area!"
Li Qiufan waved his hand at Zhao Gang impatiently, and then pulled him to the map.
"The first column is now at Baijiashan to the southwest of us, and the second column is to the Thirty Village to the southeast of us."
"As for the level, the last report was that we were in Shijiawan with the third and fourth columns."
Zhao Gang told Li Qiufan the positions of each unit. Now the entire First Corps was divided into three points and was launching an attack towards the central part of Suide.
"Send a telegram to Li Yunlong and ask Li Yunlong's three columns to quickly penetrate to Zhangjiapian and stop the enemy troops escaping from the northern part of Suide. This will eliminate a little more!"
After Li Qiufan learned about the locations of each unit, he looked at the map and immediately made adjustments.
The first, second and fourth columns continued to attack the central part of Suide. Li Yunlong's third column penetrated into Zhangjiapian in the middle and was divided into four points to form a large encirclement of northern Suide.
"Isn't this too risky? What if Li Yunlong passes through like this and encounters a large force of the national army?"
Zhao Gang was a little worried about Li Qiufan's new adjustments. He was worried that Li Yunlong's three columns would encounter a large force of the national army and it would be too late to rush to support them.
