Because of the war caused by a dinner, the two sides fought particularly fiercely and lasted until the middle of the night before they ceased fire.
"Send a telegram to the Third Column and ask them where they are!"
After the two sides ceased fire, Li Qiufan asked his correspondent to send a telegram to Li Yunlong asking for their location.
Li Yunlong responded quickly after receiving the telegram, stating that they would arrive at the outskirts of Zhangjiashan around four in the morning and enter the scheduled attack position.
"There are less than three hours left. Let the brothers seize the time to rest for a while. When the third column arrives at Zhangjiashan at four o'clock, we will launch a counterattack!"
Li Qiufan glanced at his watch, and then said to Heizi beside him.
"Finally we're here soon, this old Li is still reliable!"
Heizi's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Li Qiufan say that he would launch a counterattack at four in the morning.
"Is he reliable? Don't praise him. If you praise him, something will happen to him!"
Hearing Heizi praising Li Yunlong, Li Qiufan curled his lips and said to him.
"Uh, okay then!"
Heizi suddenly thought of something after hearing Li Qiufan's words, and then turned around and left to give orders.
Erhu and Li Xiping were so excited when they learned that they would launch a counterattack at four o'clock that they didn't even plan to sleep and waited for the arrival of four o'clock.
Time passed minute by minute, and it soon came to three o'clock. Li Qiufan opened his eyes as if he heard the alarm clock.
"Heizi, go tell Erhu and Xiping to get ready!"
Li Qiufan pushed Heizi next to him and said to him after he woke up.
Heizi immediately cheered up after hearing this, nodded towards Li Qiufan and left.
"Send a telegram to the Third Column and ask them how long it will take to arrive!"
After Heizi left, Li Qiufan called the correspondent and asked him to send another telegram to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong still responded quickly, reporting that he would be able to reach the offensive position in about thirty minutes.
Li Qiufan raised his hand and glanced at his watch and found that it was more than twenty minutes ahead of schedule.
After pondering for a moment, Dang even decided on the time for counterattack, which was four o'clock sharp.
Then Li Qiufan asked the correspondent to send another telegram to Li Yunlong, informing him of the time of counterattack and the direction in which the three columns needed to attack.
Li Qiufan's idea was to wait until four o'clock and let Li Yunlong's third column and Li Xiping's fourth column move first.
Li Yunlong led the three columns directly into the middle of the 65th Army and the 38th Army, and then launched an attack towards the flank of the 65th Army.
While the third column launched the attack, the fourth column attacked the 38th Army with all its strength, leaving it overwhelmed.
Then the first column launched an attack on the frontal position of the 65th Army, and together with the third column, first ate the 65th Army, and then turned around to deal with the 38th Army.
After deciding everything, Li Qiufan called Er Hu and Li Xiping over. They checked the time and then informed them of the plan.
After checking the time, it didn't take long to receive news from Li Yunlong that he had led his troops to the offensive position.
The sky was still dark at this time. Li Qiufan looked at the enemy position shrouded in darkness opposite, waiting for the time to counterattack.
When there was only one minute left, Li Qiufan stared at the second hand on his watch until he completed the last lap.
"Bang bang bang...!"
When the time reached four o'clock, dense gunfire suddenly rang out from the right wing of the 65th Army, followed closely by various explosions.
This is when Li Yunlong's third column began to attack. After his side started fighting, the fourth column also started to attack.
The 38th Army was still unclear about what happened, and was about to ask the 65th Army what was going on, but was stunned by the Fourth Column before they could contact them.
"Inform the heavy artillery division to launch artillery bombardments in depth on the two enemy positions, so I can suppress the opponent's artillery!"
After the fourth column also launched an attack, Li Qiufan immediately gave the order to the heavy artillery division.
Since the shooting of Zhuyuan was specifically recorded during the day, although it was still dark, it did not affect the heavy artillery division's bombardment, but there may be a slight error in the impact point.
"Order the first column to launch a full-scale counterattack against the enemy and blow the charge horn!"
After the heavy artillery division's bombardment began, Li Qiufan issued the order again, allowing Yizong to also launch an attack.
After receiving the order, Erhu immediately asked the bugler to blow the charge horn, and then a column of soldiers rushed towards the enemy's position.
The Sixty-fifth Army was still in a state of confusion at this moment. The commander of the Sixty-fifth Army could not figure out why a group of People's Liberation Army suddenly appeared between them and the Thirty-eighth Army.
If it weren't for the fighting going on at the 38th Army position, he would have thought that the 38th Army had rebelled.
Before he could clear his mind, news came from the flank asking for help. The commander of the 65th Army quickly mobilized troops to defend the flank.
But as soon as he finished mobilizing his troops, a charge horn sounded, followed immediately by countless shouts of killing.
Due to the sudden incident, the soldiers of the national army were a little panicked, and their sight was blocked before dawn, so they were rushed directly to the position by Yi Zong.
The soldiers of the national army, who were already in a somewhat unstable position, began to flee towards the second-line position without resisting for a while, causing the first-line position to fall directly into the hands of the first column.
As the war progressed, the sky began to get a little brighter, and the commander of the 65th Army finally saw the situation clearly.
Now the 38th Army is being held tightly by the Four Columns, and it is difficult to even counterattack, let alone support the 65th Army.
The Sixty-fifth Army is even worse. It is being constantly eaten away by the first and third columns, and is almost being rushed to the second line.
Seeing this situation, the commander of the 65th Army did not hesitate to order the evacuation of the position and fled towards Gaojiaya in the southeast.
When Li Qiufan saw this, he immediately ordered the first and third columns to pursue him, but he couldn't let him fly with the duck in his mouth.
But just when they were about to catch up to Gaojiaya, the leading troops were suddenly bombarded and directly suppressed the first and third columns.
Li Qiufan saw this scene through the telescope and immediately asked the correspondent to ask what was going on.
But before the news from his side spread, intensive gunfire suddenly rang out from the direction of Gaojiaya.
"Let the first and third columns retreat immediately! The enemy's reinforcements have arrived!"
Li Qiufan gritted his teeth when he saw this scene. Unexpectedly, the enemy's reinforcements would arrive at this moment. He immediately ordered the first and third columns to retreat.
It was the 36th Army that came to support. After discovering that the 65th Army was escaping, they immediately set up an ambush at Gaojiaya, repelled the 1st and 3rd Columns, and rescued the 65th Army. Come down.
"Order the first column to immediately find bunkers and build defensive positions, and the third column to return to Zhangjiashan to cooperate with the fourth column to eliminate the enemy forces there as soon as possible!"
After the first and third verticals retreated, Li Qiufan gave them orders again, then frowned and looked in the direction of Gaojiaya.
