"Tell Li Yunlong that the enemy's retreat must be blocked!"
"Order the first, second and fourth columns to launch an attack immediately and eliminate the enemy forces in the encirclement as soon as possible!"
After learning that the reorganized 36th Division had been successfully blocked, Li Qiufan immediately issued orders to all units.
As Li Qiufan's order was issued, the three columns launched a fierce attack. The reorganized 36th Division did not escape this time, but chose to surrender after resisting for a short time.
"Let the third column stay to clean the battlefield and take prisoners. The other columns will march to Xianyang immediately. Don't give the enemy time to react!"
After taking down the reorganized 36th Division, Li Qiufan immediately ordered the troops to rush directly towards Xianyang, catching the opponent off guard before they could react.
After receiving the order, the first, second and fourth columns immediately marched towards Xianyang.
The first column was still responsible for advancing from the front, while the fourth column went south across the river and rushed to the south side of Xitun Village.
The second column was transferred to Xiaozhai on the north side by Li Qiufan. The three columns were like a big net, ready to cover the entire Xianyang.
"Report to the commander, there is an urgent message from the boss!"
The troops were marching towards Xianyang. At this time, the correspondent broke away from the team and came to Li Qiufan, handing over a telegram.
After Li Qiufan heard the telegram from his boss, he immediately reached out and took it and read it.
"Heizi, you immediately lead the security brigade to Taiping Town in the northwest of Xi'an. When you get there, follow the boss's command!"
After reading the telegram, Li Qiufan shouted at Heizi not far ahead.
"Brother, what happened?"
Hearing Li Qiufan's shout, Heizi hurriedly ran to him and asked.
"The boss doesn't have enough manpower. Let me send a column over."
"But now the columns can't get out, so we have to let the security brigade go over and take over!"
After hearing Heizi's inquiry, Li Qiufan immediately told him the reason for the incident.
To form a siege on the entire Xi'an, the boss's troops are indeed not enough.
In order to prevent the old fox from breaking through, the blockades set up by the boss were stronger than the others, but this also resulted in the need for a large number of troops.
In desperation, the boss could only mobilize troops from Li Qiufan to meet the urgent need.
"I'll set off with the security brigade right now!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's explanation, Heizi immediately notified the security brigade, and then led the team towards Taiping Town.
After Heizi left with the security brigade, Li Qiufan continued to arrange three columns to surround Xianyang.
Soon the Fourth Column arrived at the position first and launched an attack from Xitun Village to the hinterland of Xianyang.
Then came the second column, which also started to advance from Xiaozhai towards the enemy's defense line.
Finally, there was the First Column. Since the Heavy Artillery Division was following behind, the First Column had to replace the security brigade as the escort, so the speed was the slowest.
"Inform the heavy artillery division to immediately build artillery positions and coordinate with the forward advance!"
After seeing the defense line established by the enemy, Li Qiufan immediately ordered his troops to prepare for an attack.
"Commander, what's the next fight?"
The troops were making preparations for the attack, when Erhu came to Li Qiufan and asked him.
"You push forward in one column towards Liuyin Village, all the way to Liangsi Crossing. When the time comes, move the artillery position forward, so that you can take care of the fourth column!"
After hearing Er Hu's inquiry, Li Qiufan drew a route on the map with his finger, and then said to Er Hu.
"yes!"
After Erhu saw the route drawn by Li Qiufan, he immediately returned to the army to take command.
As the heavy artillery division's bombardment began, Erhu also ordered his troops to attack the enemy's positions.
Covered by the heavy artillery division's inhumane artillery fire, the enemy troops were beaten and retreated again and again. It only took half a day to retreat to the vicinity of Liangsidu.
"Inform the first column to launch a fierce attack on the enemy and capture Liangsidu as quickly as possible!"
"In addition, notify the heavy artillery division to prepare the forward holding position and ask the old horse to move faster!"
Seeing that the enemy troops on the outer defense line were blocked at Liangsidu, Li Qiufan immediately ordered a column to annihilate them, and then pulled the heavy artillery from the heavy artillery division over.
After receiving the order, Erhu directly formed several commandos and launched a charge towards the enemy troops at Liangsidu.
By the time Liangsidu was completely captured, it was evening.
At this time, the fourth column had advanced along the river bank to Caojiazhai, facing the first column that was crossing the two temples across the river.
Not to be outdone, the Second Column advanced to Twelve Platforms due north of the Liangsi Crossing.
The enemy army began to shrink its defense line, with a vague intention of retreating to Xi'an.
"Inform all troops to suspend operations and rest for a night to see the enemy's reaction!"
"Also send a telegram to the third column and ask them when they can follow!"
Li Qiufan did not conduct a night attack or anything, but asked all troops to rest and recuperate.
He knew that Xi'an's enemies were already trapped beasts, and it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.
It's better to conserve your strength now and wait for the final decisive battle!
Li Qiufan was stationed safely here, but the enemy army couldn't wait any longer.
After obtaining the consent of the old fox, they withdrew from Xianyang to the boundary of Xi'an overnight.
When the enemy troops were retreating, the observation post arranged by Li Qiufan naturally discovered this situation, but Li Qiufan did not order the troops to pursue.
Because even if you catch up at this time, you won't be able to keep the opponent behind, and you may suffer a big loss because you go deep alone.
After much thought, Li Qiufan decided to report the information to his boss, then wait until the morning to take over Xianyang and then advance towards Xi'an.
At this time, the boss was looking at a unit with a strange look on its face. It was Li Qiufan's security brigade.
After Heizi set off with the security brigade, he marched quickly without any pause, and finally arrived at Taiping Town before it got completely dark.
After arriving in Taiping Town, Heizi realized that the boss had set up the headquarters here.
After the boss heard that Li Qiufan's troops had arrived, he quickly called the leader to the headquarters.
Heizi and the boss had met before, so the boss recognized him at a glance.
"Hey, why did that brat let you lead the team here? Isn't he afraid that I will poach you here?"
When the boss saw it was Heizi, he immediately joked with him.
"Boss, please stop teasing me, I can't stand being scared!"
Heizi scratched his head after hearing the boss's words, and then responded.
"Haha, let's get down to business, which column did you bring this time?"
The boss smiled and nodded at Heizi, and then asked him which army he was leading.
"Report to the boss, they are bringing the security brigade!"
Seeing that the boss asked about business, Heizi straightened his back and answered.
