"Have the heavy artillery divisions aim at the enemy's front-line positions and blast them, and let me suppress all their heavy firepower!"
Li Qiufan observed the situation on the battlefield with a telescope. Yizong's charges had been repulsed several times, and two regiments had suffered more than half of their casualties.
Li Qiufan looked a little distressed, and then Dang even gave Lao Ma an order to concentrate artillery fire on the enemy's front-line positions to suppress the opponent's counterattack.
As a new round of shelling began, the soldiers of the first column once again began to charge the enemy positions.
However, the enemy's firepower was too strong, and Yizong's charge was driven back again.
This scene made Li Qiufan feel a little itchy. Zhang Jiashan's 65th Army was different from the previous two divisions of the First Army. There were no coincidences this time.
In Pingtou Town, Li Yunlong could penetrate from Jiulong Mountain to the enemy's flank for a surprise attack, but there are no such conditions here.
The main reason is the terrain. The terrain here is relatively flat. Any small movements can be seen clearly at a glance, and there is no chance to raid them.
The strength of the Sixty-fifth Army and the First Column are almost the same, and both the enemy and ours have semi-artistic weapons and equipment, so there is not much difference in firepower.
Li Qiufan's only advantage is the heavy artillery division, which possesses heavy artillery that the opponent cannot match.
However, as the defensive side, the 65th Army also has a major advantage, which is trenches and bunkers.
They don't need to expose themselves, they just need to lie down in the trench and shoot.
The battle became tense for a while, with both sides using their respective advantages to consume the enemy.
"This battle cannot be fought like this! We only have one point of attack, and the enemy can block us without any distractions."
"As long as they have enough ammunition, many of us will die if we go up there!"
Seeing that Yizong's charge was repelled again, Li Qiufan clenched his fist and beat the trench and said.
"But we can't do anything in our current position. Any movement will be discovered by the enemy."
Heizi was equally anxious about the current situation. He frowned and said to Li Qiufan.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. If there is no road, I will dig through the mountain!"
Li Qiufan said, taking the map from the side, looking at the map and studying whether there was any other way.
"Let the four columns immediately go to the left wing to build positions and prepare to block the enemy forces on the north side of the Weihe River!"
After looking at the map for a while and doing some mental deductions, Li Qiufan finally found a way to break the situation.
"The left wing? Resisting the enemy forces on the north side of the Wei River? Isn't Li Yunlong's second column on the south bank of the Wei River?"
Heizi was a little confused after hearing Li Qiufan's words, and asked Li Qiufan in confusion.
"Let Li Yunlong's three columns go straight east along the south bank of the Wei River to Doudi Mountain, and then circle back to the rear of the enemy's position in Zhangjiashan to attack them!"
"Put the enemy troops on the north side of the Wei River directly over and let the fourth column block them from the flanks!"
Li Qiufan explained it to Heizi, but Heizi frowned as he listened.
"Wouldn't this mean we would be surrounded? If Li Yunlong didn't arrive in time, or the raid didn't work, then wouldn't our two columns be the turtles in the urn?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's explanation, Heizi immediately clarified his thoughts and began to analyze the dangers involved.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. If we don't take risks, we will also be exhausted. Even if we withdraw, we will suffer heavy casualties!"
"And even if we withdraw, Li Yunlong's three columns will be in danger."
"When the enemy forces in Zhangjiashan and the enemy forces on the north side of the Weihe River double-team Li Yunlong, most of his three columns will be lost here!"
The current situation is no longer a question of whether they want to fight, but that they must fight.
If Li Qiufan and the others choose to retreat, then Li Yunlong will be thrown inside.
But if it continues to be consumed like this, not only will it not be able to destroy the enemy army, it may even be consumed by the enemy army.
So the only way now is to take a risk and let Li Yunlong's three columns withdraw their defense line, go to the direction of Doudi Mountain and then make a roundabout way back to the enemy's rear in Zhangjiashan.
Li Qiufan had to face a situation of being surrounded, switching from offense to defense, and facing the enemy's attack from both sides.
After that, they waited until Li Yunlong's three columns were in place and launched a surprise attack on the enemy's rear in Zhangjiashan.
Then the first column began to counterattack, cooperating with the third column to attack the enemy forces in Zhangjiashan from the front and back.
By then, as long as the four columns can hold back the enemy troops coming from the north side of the Wei River, they can defeat them one by one.
First deal with the enemies in Zhangjiashan, and then turn around and launch an attack on the enemies coming from the north side of the Weihe River.
"But the risk is too great!"
Although Heizi understood that this plan had certain feasibility, plans could never keep up with changes.
If anything happens, their entire regiment will be thrown here.
"Everything is risky. We can withdraw at any time if we want, but the price will be to abandon Lao Li and the soldiers of the three columns!"
"I will not abandon Lao Li, let alone the soldiers of the three verticals!"
"Besides, we may not lose, so let's execute it immediately!"
Li Qiufan cannot cut off a strong man's wrist. Sometimes guilt is more painful than death.
Seeing that Li Qiufan had made up his mind, Heizi didn't know what to say. He immediately asked the correspondent to send a telegram to Li Yunlong, asking him to abandon his position and go to Doudi Mountain, and then detour to the rear of the enemy in Zhangjiashan for a surprise attack.
Then he found Li Xiping, told him Li Qiufan's plan, and asked him to take the fourth column to the flanks to build positions in preparation for facing the enemy coming from the north side of the Wei River.
After hearing this, Li Xiping readily agreed. He agreed with Li Qiufan's plan, and he couldn't do it even if he was asked to give up Li Yunlong and his three brothers.
Then Li Xiping led the four columns to build positions on the flanks, and the enemy troops in Zhangjiashan on the opposite side naturally discovered this situation.
But they didn't think much about it. They just thought that the People's Liberation Army discovered that the 38th Army was crossing the river towards them, so they built positions to prepare for the attack.
And after the 65th Army discovered this situation, it immediately notified all units to prepare for a counterattack. After the 38th Army was in place, it could turn from defense to offense.
Li Yunlong was still a little confused after receiving Li Qiufan's telegram and didn't understand why he was asked to steal the butt again.
However, after being trained in Pingtou Town, Li Yunlong had a better memory, and he immediately withdrew his troops and headed towards Doudi Mountain.
Fortunately, the 38th Army had not prepared the tools to cross the river at this time and did not meet Li Yunlong's third column.
If the two sides start fighting, it will be difficult for Li Yunlong to withdraw.
