After the troops took a short rest, Li Qiufan immediately gave the order to continue setting off, heading in the direction of Xiashi Town.
Because the old fox had previously transferred all the troops from the north bank to the south bank, Li Qiufan and the others marched very smoothly along the way.
Moreover, Li Qiufan learned from the intelligence sent back by the people arranged on the south bank that after they entered the north bank, the 36th Army and other units were transferred to Weibin, Maying, Jintai and other places by the old fox.
Even though Li Qiufan had seen through the old fox's intention, he had already given up on the outer areas and was preparing to keep the hinterland of Baoji.
In this way, Li Qiufan became even more unscrupulous. After arriving at Xiashi Town, he led his troops towards Jinhe in a swaggering manner.
But when they were about to arrive at the Jinhe boundary, news suddenly came back from the vanguard.
Through the intelligence sent back by the scouts sent out, we learned that a reorganized division of the national army was stationed in Jinhe.
This reorganized division was the 30th Division transferred from Linyou by Old Fox. After Li Qiufan led the troops to the north bank, Old Fox asked it to temporarily garrison in Jinhe.
Maybe they didn't expect Li Qiufan to move so quickly, or maybe they didn't know that Li Qiufan was going to penetrate Xi'an, and they didn't anticipate his marching route, so they didn't transfer the reorganized 30th Division.
The currently reorganized 30th Division still doesn't know that they are about to welcome hundreds of thousands of People's Liberation Army troops, and they are waiting for the mobilization order from the old fox.
"A organizer? Isn't this just here to deliver food?"
"Let the first column make a detour towards Xinglong Village on the southeast side of Jinhe River. The second column will replace the first column and go up. Let me eat this organizer!"
Hearing that there was a reorganizer in the Jinhe area, Li Qiufan immediately issued an order to capture it.
Then the two columns were directly deployed to encircle the reorganized 30th Division.
It is conceivable that more than 10,000 people faced nearly 60,000 people, and they were directly blocked by the first and second columns in a place called Shiqiao Village.
The commander of the reorganized 30th Division still didn't know what happened, and until now, he was a little unable to react.
But it's not his fault. Anyone else would be confused when encountering hundreds of thousands of enemies appearing out of thin air.
After being besieged in Shiqiao Village, the commander of the reorganized 30th Division sent a telegram asking for help to Old Fox.
The old fox was also a little confused after receiving the telegram. He didn't understand why Li Qiufan ran to Jinhe, and he was even more confused about his next purpose.
After knowing that it was Li Qiufan's group of People's Liberation Army, the old fox immediately gave up the idea of supporting them, and even wanted to send a telegram to the reorganized 30th Division to tell them to stop struggling.
Li Qiufan really has nothing to do with the hundreds of thousands of people. What he can do now is to save some more important places.
As for some of the peripheral territories, the old fox just left it to him.
As for providing support, rather than losing tens of thousands more people, it would be better to just let the reorganized 30th Division fill the hole.
After sending telegrams one after another without receiving a response, the commander of the reorganized 30th Division already understood what was going on, and then immediately chose to surrender.
Li Qiufan was very surprised by his surrender. Unexpectedly, the organizer surrendered without even putting up any decent resistance.
During the whole battle, a few shots were fired at the beginning of the drive, knocking out about two battalions of the opponent's troops.
After the reorganized 30th Division was surrounded by Shiqiao Village, the battle ended immediately.
Li Qiufan was curious and asked someone to bring the teacher over. He wanted to ask him what he thought.
It didn't take long for the person to be brought to Li Qiufan, who looked at the person in front of him curiously.
"Why don't you resist?"
Li Qiufan asked directly about his doubts, which surprised the commander of the reorganized 30th Division.
He thought Li Qiufan was going to ask him about something, and just now he was still debating in his mind whether to tell the truth or not.
Unexpectedly, the first thing he said was to ask him why he didn't resist, which made him feel humiliated.
But he didn't reply until his neck was red from suppressing the pressure, because he really didn't resist.
"Um, don't get me wrong, I'm not humiliating you!"
"I'm just curious as to what made you surrender directly."
Seeing the other person's face, Li Qiufan knew that the person had misunderstood his words, so he hurriedly explained.
"There is no reason. You can kill or chop him up as you wish."
The commander of the 30th Division looked better after hearing Li Qiufan's words, and then replied harshly.
"Our People's Liberation Army has discipline. Killing and beating people casually is not allowed!"
Li Qiufan smiled helplessly after hearing what the other party said, and then said to him.
Heizi next to him started coughing immediately after hearing Li Qiufan's words, as if he had choked on something.
"Is your throat stuffed with donkey hair?"
Seeing Heizi's reaction, Li Qiufan immediately understood what was going on. He immediately scolded him and then kicked him.
The commander of the reorganized 30th Division curled his lips after seeing Li Qiufan's actions.
"Ahem, this is a fight between brothers, don't get me wrong!"
Li Qiufan was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
"I just don't want my brothers to sacrifice in vain, that's all!"
The commander of the reorganized 30th Division sighed helplessly, and then said to Li Qiufan.
If the old fox didn't reply to the telegram, it was clear that he had given up on them, so he chose to surrender directly.
Although he didn't explain the reason clearly, Li Qiufan roughly guessed what was going on through these words.
"Take it down!"
After understanding what was going on, Li Qiufan waved his hand towards the soldier on the side and said.
"Brother, what should we do with these prisoners?"
After the commander of the 30th reorganized division was taken away, Heizi asked Li Qiufan.
"I plan to let the Third Column take them, and then transfer all the political cadres to Lao Li, transform these national army soldiers as soon as possible, and then directly replenish them to the Third Column."
Li Qiufan had already planned for this batch of prisoners, which would be used to supplement Li Yunlong's three columns.
"But in this case, the marching speed of the three columns will be slower, and I am afraid that they will not be able to keep up with the speed of the large army."
After hearing Li Qiufan's arrangement, Heizi frowned and said to him.
"It doesn't matter. Next, we will march to Changqing Town, northeast of Jinhe. We shouldn't encounter large enemy troops during this period. Just let the third column follow and walk slowly."
Li Qiufan waved his hand towards Heizi. As long as he didn't encounter three or four armies, the loss of the more than 10,000 people in the third column would not have any impact.
"Report to the commander, telegraph to the boss!"
As soon as Li Qiufan finished speaking, a correspondent came over with a telegram.
"Is it from the boss?"
Li Qiufan was a little surprised and didn't understand what the boss wanted to do with him at this time.
