"Report to the commander, the vanguard unit has engaged the enemy!"
Lu Ming was on his way when suddenly the correspondent came to him and said.
"We've engaged the enemy? Where did the enemy come from in Yangyu Town? Did I make a mistake?"
Lu Ming frowned after hearing what the correspondent said, and then asked the correspondent to confirm.
"Commander, it is indeed the enemy. The news came back from the front that the enemy is wearing the uniform of the national army!"
After some confirmation, the correspondent said to Lu Ming again.
"Damn it, how did the enemy come to Yangyu Town? It's really weird!"
"Tell the troops to let me go and fight. If we encounter them, don't let them run away!"
Lu Ming scratched his head first, and then gave the order to attack.
"By the way, send a telegram to the Fourth Column to ask if these are the defeated troops who escaped from Liangshan Town!"
Just after giving the order, Lu Ming thought of something else and hurriedly asked the correspondent to send a telegram to the fourth column.
Li Xiping soon received the telegram from the Second Column, and his face darkened instantly when he saw the telegram.
"Damn it, I'm really embarrassed this time. I was actually met by Lao Lu!"
Li Xiping looked at the telegram in his hand and cursed angrily. This incident made him feel very embarrassed.
"Tell the troops to speed up me. We must destroy the enemy before the second column, otherwise we will make people laugh!"
Then Li Xiping shouted towards the team, and the soldiers in the four columns suddenly sped up after hearing it.
The fleeing enemy troops did not expect that just after escaping from the tiger's mouth, they turned around and encountered a pack of wolves, which directly cut off their way of survival.
The encirclement of nearly 60,000 people left them with nowhere to escape. After resisting for more than two hours and losing thousands of people, they chose to surrender.
"Xiping, why did you let the enemy escape? If the commander finds out about this, he will punish you!"
After seeing Li Xiping, Lu Ming smiled and said to him.
"Old Lu, let's discuss something. Don't tell the commander about this!"
Although Li Xiping was a little embarrassed, he couldn't care less about the embarrassment now and hurriedly said to Lu Ming.
"You want me to lie with you about such a big thing? I don't want to be punished with you!"
Lu Ming shook his head when he heard Li Xiping's words. He didn't want to take the blame.
"Thirty percent of the seizure, give me a happy word!"
Li Xiping gritted his teeth after hearing Lu Ming's words, and then made the conditions.
"Thirty percent of the seizure? If this thing is missed, you will have to lie down for half a month. You have to pay more!"
After hearing the conditions offered by Li Xiping, Lu Ming said to him with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"Forty percent, no more, otherwise I would rather lie down for half a month!"
Seeing that Lu Ming was not satisfied, Li Xiping felt itchy with hatred and wanted to give him a bite.
But in order not to be punished, Li Xiping could only seize an additional 10%.
"Deal! Xiping, I never underestimated the potential of you!"
When he heard that Li Xiping added another 10%, Lu Ming's eyes narrowed into crescent moons and he immediately agreed.
"Lao Lu, you are really not a brother. Even now, you are adding insult to injury!"
Li Xiping breathed a sigh of relief when Lu Ming agreed, and then started complaining to him.
"Brothers have to settle accounts clearly! Why don't you ask me, Lao Lu, to do something for you without any reward?"
"As the commander said, we members of the first corps can only take advantage when we go out and cannot suffer losses!"
Lu Ming didn't care when he heard Li Xiping's words and immediately retorted.
"Forget it, I admit defeat! Hurry and clean up the battlefield and rush to Fufeng County, the commander is still waiting!"
Li Xiping shook his head helplessly. No matter what, there was indeed something wrong on his side, and he had to admit it no matter what.
The two columns quickly cleared the battlefield, and then rushed to Fufeng County after distributing the seizures.
At this time, Heizi had already led the security brigade to Fufeng County and met up with Yizong in Wujing Town.
"Brother, how are the casualties?"
After seeing Li Qiufan, Heizi immediately asked him.
After arriving at Wujing Town, looking at the devastated battlefield, Heizi knew that there must have been fierce battles here.
"The first column suffered a lot of casualties. Fortunately, the third column was transferred over in time, otherwise it would have been hard to say!"
Li Qiufan told Heizi about the casualties, and then told him that the third column was also coming.
"How many people did the enemy send? Even one column suffered such heavy casualties?"
After hearing the casualties of Yizong, Heizi's eyes widened instantly.
Yizong's combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment were obvious to all. Heizi did not expect that Yizong would suffer a loss.
"Old friends, the 57th Army and the 90th Army have a total strength of more than 50,000 people."
"It's just that heavy artillery was sent from behind, which caused the first column to suffer heavy casualties."
Li Qiufan talked about the enemy's troops, and then talked about heavy artillery.
"Have all the heavy artillery been sent here? Fortunately, brother, you left the Third Column in Qishan County, otherwise it would have been dangerous!"
Heizi was even more shocked when he heard that the opponent also had heavy artillery.
"It's all over. Now those heavy artillery also have the surname Li!"
Li Qiufan smiled at Heizi, then patted his shoulder and comforted him.
"Your surname is Li? How many doors are there?"
Heizi's eyes lit up after hearing Li Qiufan's words, and he immediately asked him.
"A total of eighteen American 105mm howitzers, as well as some artillery pieces of other calibers."
"However, there are a few artillery shells. A lot of them were consumed by the 57th Army. There are only more than 300 shells left."
Li Qiufan showed regret when talking about the artillery shells, complaining that the 57th Army wasted so many artillery shells.
"Eighteen guns? Then it looks like the heavy artillery division is going to be expanded!"
Heizi couldn't help but sigh when he heard that there were a total of eighteen heavy artillery pieces and other artillery pieces of various calibers.
"Expanding the hammer, among the heavy artillery of our army, there are now thirty American 105mm caliber howitzers alone."
"We can't produce this type of artillery shells now. When the time comes, the shells will be no different than scrap metal."
"When the time comes, there will suddenly be thirty heavy cannons missing. How can the remaining less than twenty be sustained?"
Li Qiufan shook his head after hearing Heizi's emotion. There was a long way to go to expand the heavy artillery division.
"Commander, the second and fourth columns are here!"
As soon as Li Qiufan finished speaking, a correspondent came to him and said.
"Ask the second column to go to Longquan Village, and the fourth column to go to Qinghua Town to garrison, and let them come and see me after making arrangements!"
"In addition, let Lao Ma come over and let him drive more cars!"
After hearing the news of the arrival of the second and fourth columns, Li Qiufan directly made arrangements for them and put them in charge of the defense line on the north side of Wujing Town.
Then the correspondent was asked to call Lao Ma over and ask him to drive a few more cars to pull back the captured heavy artillery.
