"Damn it, this Ma's army is nothing without its horses. It's a waste of my shells!"
Seeing that the Ma Jiajun defense line was penetrated by a sudden attack, Li Qiufan cursed.
"Brother, do you want the heavy artillery division to stop? It will be a waste to continue the fight!"
Seeing how miserable Ma Jiajun was, Heizi also began to feel sorry for him.
"Hurry up and get the heavy artillery division to stop! The third and fourth columns must be almost in place by now. Don't waste your fucking shells!"
Hearing Heizi's reminder, Li Qiufan quickly asked the correspondent to issue orders to the heavy artillery division.
The heavy artillery division stopped shelling after receiving the order. At this moment, Li Qiufan also received telegrams from the third and fourth columns, and they had formed an encirclement.
"Haha, if Old Li and Xiping move slower, I'm afraid they won't even be able to drink the soup."
Putting down the telegram in his hand, Li Qiufan looked at the battlefield and said with a smile.
Sure enough, as Li Qiufan said, before Li Yunlong and Li Xiping came over, the two tigers wiped out the Ma Jiajun in one move.
The two columns struggled to make a detour, but they didn't even get a drink of soup. This made Li Yunlong and Li Xiping extremely angry.
With the return of the third and fourth columns, the battle was completely over, and more than 20,000 Ma's troops were killed.
"Old Li, send a telegram to your division and ask if they have arrived in Xining."
Li Yunlong and Li Xiping were besieging Erhu together, when Li Qiufan suddenly appeared and interrupted the three of them.
"Commander, you are too biased. This good thing is all lost to the first column. What's wrong with our Lao Li's third column!"
When Li Yunlong heard Li Qiufan's voice, he immediately started crying in grievance.
"That's right, what's the difference between our four verticals!"
Seeing Li Yunlong speak, Li Xiping followed suit and said to Li Qiufan.
"Stop talking nonsense, contact your division first, and we'll talk about it later if anything happens!"
Li Qiufan glared at the two of them angrily, then waved his hand to urge Li Yunlong.
Seeing this, Li Yunlong sighed helplessly, turned around and asked the correspondent to send a telegram.
It didn't take long for a response to come from the other side. At this time, the division of the third column was about to arrive in Xining.
After hearing this, Li Qiufan immediately ordered him to launch a direct attack on Xining. Qingma's main force had been eliminated, and that division was invincible in Xining.
"Heizi, ask the correspondent to send a telegram to Lu Ming and ask them how they are doing over there."
Now that the Ma Jiajun in Qinghai, Gansu has been completely wiped out, the outcome is still unknown in Ningxia.
After the telegram was sent, it didn't take long for Lu Ming to receive a reply.
Previously, Wang Huzi fought against Ningma's troops in the Haiyuan area. After taking Lanzhou, Li Qiufan sent the second column to support.
However, after Lu Ming arrived with his troops, Ningma saw that reinforcements from the People's Liberation Army had arrived, and immediately fled north.
Originally, Wang Huzi's column was fighting very hard, and it can be said that they were beaten back and forth.
Now that another 30,000 people have arrived, Ningma's troops will have no choice but to be wiped out if they don't run away.
The escape of Ning Ma's troops made Wang Huzi and Lu Ming extremely distressed. They could not catch up with the majority of the opponent's cavalry.
Although they could not catch up, they had to pursue them. The two columns could only follow the fleeing Ningma troops all the way north.
Li Qiufan frowned as he read the contents of the telegram. Once the Ma Jiajun ran away, it would be difficult to eliminate them.
Otherwise, he would not have wasted artillery shells to block the road. What he was afraid of was that Ma Jiajun would not dare to fight and would only think about running away.
But at this point, there is no better way. I can only pray that Ning Ma has some blood and will not run out of the country.
Then Li Qiufan replied a telegram to Lu Ming, asking him and Wang Huzi to lead their troops straight north to try to annihilate the Ma Jiajun.
If you really can't catch up, you must drive the opponent outside the country, and then deploy troops to station on the border to prevent the Ma Jiajun from entering the country and committing evil acts.
After replying to the telegram, Li Qiufan ordered the troops to return to Lanzhou City for rest and recuperation, and also reported to the boss.
The boss was very surprised after receiving Li Qiufan's telegram. He did not expect that just a few days after taking Lanzhou, Qinghai would also be liberated.
Now only one of the three horses was left, and it was quickly chased out of the country by Wang Huzi and Lu Ming.
After learning about this situation, the boss immediately called a meeting with cadres to further expand the results.
After some discussions, the boss decided to strike while the iron was hot and go south to attack the old fox in Xi'an.
Before Li Qiufan arrived in Lanzhou City, he received a telegram from his boss, asking him to divert directly to Tianshui and launch an attack on Baoji from Tianshui.
Seeing that he was asked to lead his troops to attack Baoji, Li Qiufan instantly understood what his boss meant. He was going to launch a general attack on the old fox.
Seeing this, Li Qiufan immediately issued an order to change the route, sent a telegram to Zhao Gang, and then led the troops towards Tianshui.
At this time, Li Qiufan only had three columns and heavy artillery divisions under his command. The second column was sent to Ningxia by him, and the security brigade was in Lanzhou.
Among them, Li Yunlong's third column and one division were sent to Xining, and now only nearly 100,000 troops are left.
However, these nearly 100,000 troops are enough to give the old fox a headache. After all, he still has his boss directly to the north.
After nearly three days of running, the troops finally arrived at the boundary of Tianshui and Earth, and then Li Qiufan ordered the troops to rest and regroup.
After three days of rapid march, the soldiers were exhausted, so they stopped to take a rest and conduct some reconnaissance on Tianshui.
After some investigation, it was found that there were not many Chinese troops in the Tianshui area.
It's also possible that the old fox didn't expect that Ma's army would be wiped out so quickly, so he didn't make up the defense here.
After resting for most of the day, Li Qiufan decided to directly eliminate the national army in Tianshui area with great fanfare, and then launched an attack on Baoji.
Although this will expose the position and intention, it can help relieve some pressure on the boss.
After all, the old fox is not an ordinary person. With the remaining troops under his command, plus the 200,000 troops later transferred by the old man, as well as some security groups and other losers from various places, the total strength is around 300,000 at least.
When Li Qiufan led his troops to attack the Three Horses before, if the old fox could go all out to provide support, the outcome would have been hard to predict.
But the boss has figured out his thoughts and knows that he will not send all his troops to rescue the three horses, so he has the confidence to contain him.
But it's different now. The boss wants to attack Xi'an. The old fox will definitely try his best to protect himself. This pressure is not as simple as containment.
Although the Northwest Field Army has grown rapidly recently, the first regiment excluding Li Qiufan only has a strength of just over 100,000.
Two hundred thousand versus three hundred thousand is still divided into two places. If Li Qiufan doesn't share the burden, you can imagine the pressure on the boss.
