There is only one brigade of the national army in Tianshui, plus two security groups, which has no combat effectiveness at all.
Li Qiufan directly asked Erhu to drive over with a swagger, and the defenders of Tianshui began to flee for their lives before they could take action.
In this way, Li Qiufan captured Tianshui without firing a shot, but the old fox also received the news.
Upon learning that a large number of the People's Liberation Army had gathered in Tianshui, Lao Fox immediately mobilized his troops to strengthen the defense line in the direction of Baoji.
Most of the old fox's troops were deployed in the Zhengbei area. Now that some of them have been transferred to Baoji, the pressure on the boss has dropped sharply.
Feeling that the situation had changed, the boss immediately realized something and immediately sent a telegram to Li Qiufan.
After getting Li Qiufan's reply, the boss shook his head helplessly, which confirmed his suspicion.
After taking Tianshui, Li Qiufan rushed to Baoji without staying too much.
At this time, there was only one First Army in Baoji, but this was one of the main forces under the old fox.
This First Army has a strength of about 26,000 people and is a semi-American armed force. It claims to be the First Army in the world.
In addition, after the mobilization of the old fox, there are two armies coming towards Baoji, namely the 65th Army and the 38th Army.
Among them, the Sixty-fifth Army is also a semi-artillery unit. It was re-equipped after being deployed to the northwest, and its strength is about 30,000.
Although the weapons and equipment of the other 38th Army are not outstanding, it still has more than 23,000 troops.
The total strength of these three armies reached about 80,000, among which they were able to form a complete artillery army, and two of them were the main force of the old fox. Their combat effectiveness can be imagined.
In addition, there is a main force stationed in the Xieguguan area not far from Baoji, which is the 36th Army under the command of Old Fox.
This army was formed from the new Thirty-fourth Division and the temporary Fifteenth Division under the command of the old fox.
This army is also a semi-American weapons army and one of the main forces under Old Fox, with a strength of more than 33,000.
As a result, Li Qiufan will face four armies, with a total strength of more than 110,000, including three and a half main armies with beautiful weapons.
But Li Qiufan didn't know this yet. At this time, he had just arrived at Dongcha Town with his troops.
After entering Dongcha Town, continue eastward and enter the boundary of Baoji.
After some investigation, it was discovered that the first line of defense of the national army was in Pingtou Town, not far from Dongcha Town.
The national army deployed two divisions of the First Army in Pingtou Town, as well as a brigade and two security groups that had fled here before.
After looking at the map, Li Qiufan immediately made arrangements.
"Order, the first and fourth columns advance towards Pingtou Town from the front, and the third column penetrates from Jiulong Mountain to the north side of Pingtou Town to attack it!"
Li Qiufan once again assigned Li Yunlong's three columns to undertake the surprise attack, running from Jiulong Mountain northwest of Pingtou Town to the north of Pingtou Town to launch an attack on its flanks.
Although there are only about 20,000 enemy troops in Pingtou Town, he can lead his troops to fight from the front, but Li Qiufan does not want to spend too much in the early stage. After all, there is a big battle to be fought later.
After Li Qiufan's order was issued, Li Yunlong immediately led his troops towards Jiulong Mountain, and the first and fourth columns began to march towards Pingtou Town.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at Pingtou Town, and they could already vaguely see the enemy's position.
"Erhu, order the troops to prepare for the attack!"
"Inform Lao Ma and ask him to build an artillery position as soon as possible!"
After seeing the enemy's position, Li Qiufan immediately issued an order to launch an attack, attracting all the enemy's attention and creating conditions for Li Yunlong's subsequent surprise attack.
After receiving the order, the Second Tigers immediately pressed forward with a column, and the heavy artillery division also began to build artillery positions in the rear.
After the heavy artillery division was ready, Li Qiufan directly issued the order to attack.
But before that, he specifically asked the two tigers to hold back and attack, so as to attract all their attention. The focus of this battle was the surprise attack from the three columns.
Erhu also understood what Li Qiufan meant and ordered the troops to fight half-truths and half-falsehoods, which put enough pressure on them while avoiding too many casualties.
The battle lasted for half a day, but the People's Liberation Army was still not fully suppressed. The commander of the National Army began to become confused.
It was clear that the opponent had an absolutely superior force, but they had been fighting in a relaxed manner and did not launch a general attack on them.
After thinking for a while, the commander of the national army couldn't figure it out. In the end, he just thought that the other party was afraid of an ambush.
Li Qiufan has been waiting for news from Li Yunlong. It is time to launch a general offensive after the three vertical columns are in place.
Fortunately, Li Yunlong didn't keep him waiting for too long, and Li Qiufan received his message a few hours later.
After learning that the three columns were in place, Li Qiufan immediately ordered the first column to launch a general offensive and ordered the heavy artillery division to open fire with all strength.
As the heavy artillery division began to exert its full output, the national army's position was instantly covered by artillery fire, and artillery shells exploded everywhere on the entire position.
What followed was an all-out attack. This time it was not the half-truth and half-deception before. The soldiers on the front line rushed out screaming.
With the help of the heavy artillery division's suppression of the enemy's position, the soldiers of Yi Zong quickly rushed to the position, and then Li Qiufan immediately ordered the heavy artillery division to start extending the artillery fire.
Just as the enemy's front line was shouting and killing, another unit suddenly shot out from their flank, tearing through the enemy's flank defense in an instant.
This was Li Yunlong's third column. After the first column rushed into the enemy's position, Li Qiufan gave it the order to attack.
The appearance of the three columns caught the enemy by surprise. At this time, their troops were moving towards the front line to reinforce their positions, resulting in weak defense on the flanks.
The third column just seized this opportunity and instantly penetrated deep into the enemy's position.
As the three columns penetrated the enemy's defense line, the national soldiers on the front line began to think about retreating, and were directly defeated by the first column.
And Li Yunlong was even more careful. After the troops penetrated deep into the enemy's army, he immediately divided the battlefield.
Directly blocking the enemy's first-line soldiers behind them, the large force began to attack the enemy's second-line positions.
Li Yunlong's division directly put him in the main attacking position, and Yizong cooperated with him in the encirclement and suppression.
"This bastard Lao Li, if you let the enemy run away, I won't be able to fuck you!"
Li Qiufan immediately cursed when he saw this scene. Li Yunlong actually used tricks on the battlefield, leaving Yi Zong behind and surrounded the enemy by himself.
Now he finally understood the mood of the old brigade commander. The old brigade commander was still gentle when he fucked Li Yunlong!
