Lao Ma rushed over immediately after receiving the order and brought five cars with him.
Lao Ma only thought that Li Qiufan asked him to pull weapons and equipment, and thought that five vehicles would be enough.
But after arriving at Wujing Town, I was stunned when I saw the eighteen howitzers.
"Commander...Commander, you asked me to pull this thing?"
Lao Ma stuttered a little, pointed at the howitzer and asked Li Qiufan.
"Nonsense, why would I let you drive if you don't pull this thing!"
Li Qiufan nodded after hearing Lao Ma's words, and then said to him.
"Commander, what are you talking about? Can you wait for me?"
After receiving Li Qiufan's confirmation, Lao Ma swallowed his saliva and said.
"Waiting for you? What are you waiting for?"
Li Qiufan was very confused when he heard Lao Ma asking him to wait. He didn't understand why he was asked to wait.
"Ahem, my car is short of belts, so five cars came over."
Lao Ma coughed twice in embarrassment, and then told him the reason.
"Notify directly via walkie-talkie, don't waste time!"
After hearing what Lao Ma said, five cars drove over, and Li Qiufan gave him a helpless look.
Afterwards, Lao Ma hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to contact the heavy artillery division and asked him to transfer thirteen vehicles again.
After Lao Ma pulled away all the howitzers, Lu Ming and Li Xiping also arranged their respective defense areas, and then went to Wujing Town to meet Li Qiufan.
"Why did you two arrive together? Did something happen on the way?"
Li Qiufan asked immediately after seeing the two of them. This question scared Li Xiping so much that he broke into cold sweat.
"Well, it's like this. Our second column was marching very fast, and the fourth column was overtaken by us from behind, so we came here together."
When Lu Ming saw Li Qiufan asking about this matter, he immediately made an excuse for Li Xiping. After all, he was short-handed.
"Fart! Are you a three-year-old?"
Li Qiufan cursed directly after hearing Lu Ming's reason, and both of them broke out in cold sweat.
"It's really...that's true, Si...Commander!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan's expression was not very good, Li Xiping stammered and said something to him.
"What the hell are you doing? You're stammering like a girl, tell me the truth!"
Li Qiufan would not believe such a poor excuse and directly asked him the real reason.
Looking at Li Qiufan's captivating gaze, Li Xiping finally couldn't resist the pressure and told the whole story.
"Okay, you two are still doing business for me?"
"You still took 40% of it, Lu Ming, you are so stupid!"
After hearing what happened, Li Qiufan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
The most important thing is that the two of them started a business just to deceive him.
"Commander, this is not what I asked for. Xiping gave it to me on his own initiative!"
When his name was called by Li Qiufan, Lu Ming shivered instantly, and then wanted to take it out.
"Fart! I obviously said 30%, but you asked me to increase the money because you thought it was too little!"
When Li Xiping heard Lu Ming put a bucket of shit on his head, he immediately started arguing with him.
"Okay, brother Qian! Thirty percent is too little? If I change it, two percent is enough!"
Seeing the two of them biting each other, Li Qiufan almost laughed out loud, and then started teasing Lu Ming.
"Commander, listen to my excuses! This matter..."
"Okay, I don't have the heart to care about your nonsense, let's review it one by one!"
Lu Ming originally wanted to explain a few words, but was immediately interrupted by Li Qiufan.
However, when they heard that Li Qiufan asked them to write a review, Lu Ming and Li Xiping breathed a sigh of relief and just didn't do anything.
"By the way, you don't need to give it to me for review. Leave it to the political commissar when the time comes. This matter is under Lao Zhao's charge!"
Just when the two of them were relieved, Li Qiufan's words immediately caused the two of them to fall into the abyss again.
Review is easy or difficult to write. The most important thing is to decide who to give it to.
If it's for Li Qiufan, just write casually, and he won't read it carefully.
But it was different when it was handed over to Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang was very serious about making mistakes and writing self-criticisms, and he would be criticized for even a word of improper attitude.
So after the two of them heard that it was handed over to Zhao Gang, they instantly turned into bitter faces and looked at Li Qiufan with resentment on their faces.
"Let's get down to business. I have nothing else to do with calling you two here. The main thing is to ask about your situation, and also to tell you about our next mission!"
"Now it's time for the boss to put pressure on Xi'an, and then all the national army units will move towards Xi'an to provide support."
"Our mission is to block the enemy troops who come to support us, and at the same time destroy them as much as possible!"
"The main enemies we face here are the enemies in the direction of Baoji. They are all our old opponents, and you all know them."
"I only have one request. The defense line cannot be broken. You can attack the rest as you wish!"
Li Qiufan explained the next task to the two of them and asked them to let go of the fight. The only requirement was that the enemy should not be allowed to pass the defense line.
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, the two of them agreed, and then returned to their respective defense areas.
Now the situation is great. After taking over the county towns around Xi'an, they directly surrounded them, and the retreat to the south was also blocked by the old fox.
After learning that he had been surrounded, the old fox immediately issued orders to all the troops, asking them to send reinforcements to Xi'an at all costs.
The 36th Army stationed in Baoji also received the order and directly took all the troops in Baoji's territory and headed towards Xi'an for reinforcements.
This time, the 36th Army came out in full force, including security groups from various places. On the way, they encountered the 90th Army, which had fled back, and some soldiers of the 57th Army.
After the two parties met, the commander of the 36th Army informed him of Old Fox's order, and the commander of the 90th Army also talked about the situation in Fufeng County.
After understanding the general situation, the two armies and various stragglers headed towards Fufeng County.
This time, the 36th Army gathered a total of about 80,000 people. Although some of them were miscellaneous troops, they still had a certain fighting capacity.
More than 80,000 people attacked from two directions, namely Fufeng County and Mei County, with Fufeng County being the main direction of attack.
The 36th Army, together with the 90th Army, plus some miscellaneous troops, totaling about 60,000 people, headed towards Wujing Town and Qinghua Town, and more than 20,000 people headed towards Changchun, where the Third Column is located. Go to Xingzhen.
After Li Qiufan learned about the enemy's strength in Changxing Town, he immediately transferred the artillery regiment of the first column there, and at the same time asked the heavy artillery division to replenish it with enough artillery shells.
Originally, Li Qiufan planned to transfer a division to Changxing Town, but after thinking about it, the motley army of about 20,000 people did not have much combat effectiveness, so he simply reinforced Li Yunlong with an artillery regiment.
The 36th Army marched very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at Wanyang Village on the northwest side of Longquan Village, and then prepared to attack the Longquan Village position.
