"You must be all curious about what I want to say, right?"
Looking at the confused people, Li Qiufan said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"Brother, what's the big deal?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Li Yunlong scratched his head and asked him.
"Haha, then I won't give in. The boss has agreed to our plan to cross the Wei River north!"
After Li Qiufan heard what Li Yunlong said, he immediately explained what was going on.
When they heard Li Qiufan talk about his plan to cross the Wei River north, except for a few column commanders and Heizi, everyone else looked at a loss.
Since this matter had not been approved by the boss before, several people did not notify the cadres at all levels, which led to them not understanding what Li Qiufan meant.
"Heizi, please explain it to everyone!"
Seeing this, Li Qiufan waved his hand towards Heizi, and then Heizi explained to everyone.
After Heizi finished explaining, everyone suddenly realized that before, they had always thought that they were going to attack Gaojia Town, but unexpectedly, they had no intention of attacking at all.
"Now that I understand everything, I'll make arrangements next!"
Seeing that Heizi had finished speaking, Li Qiufan raised his hand to suppress the discussion.
"The operation to cross the Wei River north is expected to be carried out tomorrow morning. The troops will start setting off at 12 o'clock this evening. The crossing point will be Lijia River on the north side of Huangbagou!"
"After investigation, a stone bridge was discovered in the area around Lijiahe."
"At that time, the first column will pass through first, followed by the heavy artillery division, the second column and the third column."
"The fourth column is responsible for the rear, and is also responsible for confusing the enemy in Gaojia Town!"
While waiting for the boss's reply, Li Qiufan was not idle and sent several groups of scouts out to investigate the crossing point.
It wasn't until we went back to the Huangbagou area that we discovered a stone bridge.
Such laborious reconnaissance was only because of the heavy artillery division. The heavy artillery division had too many cars and artillery. If there was no bridge, it would have to be detoured.
Fortunately, Huangtian paid off and allowed Li Qiufan to find the bridge, which was just big enough for cars to pass through.
After arranging the order of the troops crossing the river, Li Qiufan looked at Li Xiping and asked if he had any objections.
After all, being the last to evacuate is definitely risky. If the enemy discovers their purpose, they will definitely pursue them.
At that time, the four columns will be responsible for the blocking task. If one column blocks 80,000 to 90,000 people, it is very likely that they will not be able to escape.
"I have no objection. Commander, don't worry. With our four columns here, we guarantee that the enemy will not sabotage this operation!"
Li Xiping took over the important task without hesitation and made a guarantee to Li Qiufan.
"We are evacuating at night, so the enemy will most likely not notice us!"
"When the heavy artillery division passes by, we can provide you with artillery support at any time."
"The worst I can do is use artillery shells to block the road. I will definitely not leave you four alone!"
Li Qiufan nodded towards Li Xiping, then patted his shoulder and said.
"Do the rest of you have any opinions? If you don't have any other opinions, the matter is settled!"
After comforting Li Xiping, Li Qiufan looked at the others and asked.
The four columns at the rear had no objections, let alone the other troops.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Qiufan directly dismissed everyone and asked them to go back and prepare separately.
"Xiping, there is one more thing I want to tell you!"
"After all four of your columns have passed, remember to blow up the stone bridge."
Just as everyone was leaving, Li Qiufan stopped Li Xiping and said to him.
"Blowed up? How can people survive if we blow up the bridge?"
Hearing Li Qiufan say that he wanted to blow up the bridge, Li Xiping frowned and asked him.
"This bridge won't work without blowing up. If we can cross the enemy's army, we can too."
"I can only aggrieve the people nearby. After the northwest is liberated, I will build another one for them myself!"
Li Qiufan was also a little helpless about the matter of blowing up the bridge. In order to have no worries, the bridge had to be blown up.
"Okay, I remember!"
After listening to Li Qiufan's explanation, Li Xiping could only nod and agree.
"Okay, you go back and prepare. After receiving my news, immediately lead the troops to Huangbagou to cross the river."
Li Qiufan nodded towards Li Xiping and then let him go.
The day passed quickly, but the defenders of Gaojia Town were very puzzled as to why the People's Liberation Army did not come to attack them.
However, after investigation, we found that the other party was still stationed in Goujialing, so we didn't think much about it.
The time soon approached twelve o'clock in the morning, and all the troops except the fourth column had already assembled.
When the time was up, following Li Qiufan's order, the three columns began to move towards Huangbagou.
The heavy artillery division was waiting not far from Huangbagou, just waiting for the large forces to arrive here and join together.
Although it was night at this time, the marching speed of the troops was not slow. It only took about three hours to arrive near Huangbagou and reunited with the heavy artillery division.
"Erhu, you lead a column towards Lijiahe, cross the river directly at the stone bridge, and then deploy a defense line on the other side of the river just in case!"
After joining the heavy artillery division, Li Qiufan immediately gave the order to the two tigers to lead a column across the river first, while the other troops waited until dawn before crossing.
Because the stone bridge was just wide enough to pass a car, Li Qiufan did not dare to risk the driver driving across it in the dark.
In addition to towing the artillery, the heavy artillery division's vehicles also towed all their artillery shells and fuel. If there was any improper operation, the losses would be huge.
After receiving the order, Erhu immediately left the team with Yi Zong and rushed towards Lijiahe. After arriving, he crossed the bridge without stopping.
Li Qiufan and others stopped at the bridgehead, waiting for the sun to rise.
Around five o'clock, there was finally a glimmer of light in the sky.
Looking at the increasingly brightening sky, Li Qiufan pondered for a moment before letting the heavy artillery crew start crossing the bridge.
In fact, the visibility is not very high, but the earlier they cross the bridge, the less risk they will have.
After struggling for a while, Li Qiufan decided to pass as soon as possible and then asked the fourth column to withdraw from Goujialing.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, Lao Ma Dang even directed the car to drive to the bridge. It took the entire heavy artillery division nearly an hour and a half to cross the bridge.
Fortunately, no accidents occurred in the end, and all the vehicles of the heavy artillery division passed the stone bridge safely.
"Send a telegram to the Fourth Column and tell them that they can evacuate Goujialing and ask them to come over as soon as possible!"
After the heavy artillery division passed, it was the second column. After seeing the soldiers of the second column starting to climb the bridge, Li Qiufan immediately asked the correspondent to send a telegram to the fourth column.
