After receiving Li Qiufan's order, Lao Ma immediately launched a full-coverage artillery bombardment towards the national army's position.
At this time, the national army still hadn't recovered from the previous shouting. By the time they reacted, it was already too late, and explosions had already begun to ring around them.
After seven or eight rounds of volleys, the national army's position was already filled with smoke.
After seeing the scene on the other side, Li Qiufan asked the communications soldier to give Lao Ma a cease-fire order.
"Erhu, where is the person who shouted just now? Send him up and continue shouting!"
After a ceasefire for a while, Li Qiufan turned to Erhu and said.
"Still shouting? Shouldn't we fight?"
Erhu's eyes widened when he heard Li Qiufan's words, not understanding what kind of trick he was playing.
"Go if you are told, why are there so many!"
Li Qiufan raised his leg and kicked Erhu on the butt. Erhu didn't dare to say anything after being kicked, so he went to arrange for someone to shout out in despair.
The person who called out soon returned to the forefront of the position, holding a loudspeaker and shouted at the national army on the opposite side.
At this time, the national army was treating wounded soldiers everywhere. When they heard the shouting from the opposite side again, everyone was a little angry.
Some national soldiers with bad tempers held their guns and fired several rounds to vent their resentment.
But Li Qiufan smiled when he heard the gunfire. He knew that the plan had taken effect.
"After shouting, let them come back and tell Lao Ma to launch another bombardment in three minutes!"
When Li Qiufan saw that he had finished shouting, he immediately called the soldier who was shouting back, and at the same time gave the order to the heavy artillery division again.
"Qiu Fan, are you playing with cannonballs? We can't waste it like this!"
Hearing that Li Qiufan was about to conduct shelling again, Zhao Gang frowned and reminded him.
"Old Zhao, what is more important, people or shells?"
Li Qiufan did not explain to Zhao Gang, but asked him a question.
"Of course people are important!"
Li Qiufan's question stopped Zhao Gang for a moment, and then he blurted out his answer.
"Isn't that right? If I can exchange cannonballs for the lives of my brothers, why wouldn't I do it?"
After hearing Zhao Gang's answer, Li Qiufan smiled at him and said.
Zhao Gang began to think deeply after hearing Li Qiufan's words. Just when he was about to speak again, the overwhelming sound of explosions resounded throughout the battlefield again.
The National Army was really confused by the bombing and didn't understand what the People's Liberation Army on the opposite side was doing.
If you say you want to blow up, just blow it up. Before blowing up, you need to persuade them to surrender and notify them first.
Moreover, each shelling was connected so quickly that the shells reached their heads as soon as they finished shouting, leaving no time for them to react.
All the national soldiers, including officers, held their breath, but they did not dare to fight back.
Judging from the current situation, if they hold on, they can still kill some of the opponent's people. If they counterattack, it will be like an egg hitting a rock.
More than 7,000 people went to attack 100,000 people. It is estimated that even doubling the number of troops would not be enough for them to fight.
After about seven or eight rounds of shelling this time, Li Qiufan called a halt, and then sent people forward to shout again.
Hearing the shouting again, the national troops became vigilant this time. Some of them got into the shell-proof holes without even taking care of the wounded. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.
After Li Qiufan sent someone to shout, he did not order to continue the bombardment. Instead, he contacted Li Yunlong who was in Zhangjiapian.
"Send a telegram to Li Yunlong and tell him that the remnants of the national army are about to flee towards him, and ask him to prepare to stop it!"
Li Qiufan asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong became excited after receiving the telegram. It was finally his turn to take action.
"Qiu Fan, are you so sure that the national army on the other side is going to run away?"
Zhao Gang and others were very confused and didn't understand why Li Qiufan was so sure that the national army was about to flee.
"Of course it's not possible now, there's still one move left to make!"
Li Qiufan still didn't give an explanation. He smiled mysteriously at Zhao Gang and then turned to look at Er Hu.
"Erhu, mobilize two divisions to prepare to charge the national army's positions. The charge horn must be blown loud enough!"
Li Qiufan did not act like before, but was about to attack the national army positions.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Erhu's eyes lit up instantly, and he was about to arrange the charging troops.
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
When Li Qiufan saw Erhu turning around and leaving, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Tell those two divisions to retreat when they are halfway through the charge, but before that, they must make the formation bigger!"
Li Qiufan grabbed Erhu and explained again, and Erhu was stunned for a while.
"If you're not the commander, just fight over there. The national army only has about 7,000 people!"
Erhu didn't understand Li Qiufan's intention, so he frowned and said to him.
"Is your butt itchy again? If you don't join the position of 7,000 people, can a few thousand people take it down?"
"You're not willing to give me fucking cannonballs for your brothers. If you keep talking nonsense, don't tell me I'll punish you!"
Li Qiufan became a little angry when he heard Er Hu's words, and started to curse at Er Hu. Er Hu couldn't even lift his head.
"Okay Qiu Fan, let him go down and arrange the troops quickly, don't waste any time!"
Seeing that Erhu was being attacked, Zhao Gang had no choice but to open his mouth to help him relieve himself. Li Qiufan only gave up when he saw that Zhao Gang had opened his mouth.
Erhu felt a little aggrieved after being scolded, but he did not dare to talk back to Li Qiufan. He glanced at Zhao Gang gratefully and went down to arrange the troops.
The charge team quickly gathered together and were waiting for Li Qiufan's order at the front line.
"Send a report to the heavy artillery division and shell the enemy positions again in five minutes!"
Li Qiufan looked at the battlefield with a telescope, roughly calculated the time until the charge reached the middle stage, and then gave the heavy artillery brigade an artillery attack order again.
"Tell Erhu it's time to start!"
After sending the telegram to the heavy artillery division, Li Qiufan issued an order to Erhu.
After receiving the order, Erhu immediately asked the bugler to blow the charge horn.
And in order to make the scene big enough, Erhu gathered all the trumpeters of the entire column together.
For a time, the melody of the "Charge" resounded throughout the battlefield, and the frightened national troops quickly crawled out of the artillery holes and stood ready with their guns drawn.
When they first heard the trumpet sound, they thought that all the hundreds of thousands of people from the People's Liberation Army had rushed forward. Only when they lay down on the trench and took a look did they realize that there were not that many.
Although there are not as many as hundreds of thousands, the strength of the two divisions is quite large.
Erhu's column has a total of more than 24,000 people, including three divisions, each with a strength of about 8,000 people. The two divisions have more than 16,000 people and more than 10,000 people. The scene of people charging is absolutely shocking.
