"Look at your potential!"
The boss looked at Li Qiufan with disgust and said.
"By the way, after we finish fighting in Xi'an, I have prepared a surprise for you!"
After making a joke, the boss suddenly said to Li Qiufan, which surprised Li Qiufan.
"Surprise? What surprise?"
Li Qiufan's curiosity was suddenly aroused, and he asked the boss what the surprise was.
"It's a surprise, you'll know after the battle!"
But the boss gave him no explanation and gave him a pass.
"All right."
Li Qiufan was helpless when he saw that the boss didn't say anything. He could only wait until the battle was over to see what the surprise was.
Soon it was around four o'clock, and all the troops had already assembled to prepare for the battle.
After the time reached five o'clock, Lao Yongdang issued the order for a general attack.
Then Li Qiufan ordered the heavy artillery division to start shelling the enemy positions on the other side, suppressing the enemy's firepower to cover the troops crossing the river.
Under the cover of artillery fire from the heavy artillery division, the first echelon took the lead in crossing the river. The soldiers pushed the rafts they had made in advance into the water, and then rowed towards the other side.
Seeing that the People's Liberation Army began to cross the river, the enemy commander immediately ordered to block it, and countless artillery shells and bullets were directed towards the raft.
"Correspondent, tell the heavy artillery division to put all the artillery in, find the opponent's artillery position, and then kill him for me!"
"In addition, gather the artillery brigades belonging to each column to prevent the enemy troops on the opposite side from raising their heads!"
Seeing that the enemy's counterattack had caused many casualties to the first column, Li Qiufan quickly asked his correspondent to contact the heavy artillery division and asked him to increase the firepower output.
At the same time, they concentrated all the artillery of several columns and bombarded the enemy positions frantically, so that the enemies did not dare to show their heads and fire.
Under the fire suppression of the entire First Corps, the leading troops of the First Column finally arrived on the other side and began to establish a defensive line to cover the subsequent teams crossing the river.
"Let the second column be ready, and let them follow after the first column passes!"
Seeing that the first column had established a defense line and that the follow-up river crossing team was also proceeding in an orderly manner, Li Qiufan asked the correspondent to notify the second column to prepare for the connection.
After all the soldiers of the first column had crossed over, they had already built a position on the other side.
Upon seeing this, Li Qiufan immediately asked the second column to start crossing the river, and at the same time notified the fourth column to prepare.
The subsequent process of crossing the river was much safer. Not only was there a column holding up the front, but the heavy artillery division also took the opportunity to destroy the enemy's artillery positions.
After all three columns had crossed the river, the first step of the general attack on Xi'an was completed.
"Order, the second column will immediately raid the airport as planned, and the third column will immediately make a detour toward the southern suburbs!"
"In addition, tell the first column so that they can launch a charge. Let me penetrate the enemy's position and advance towards the west gate!"
After the first step is completed, the next step is for each column to rush to its own goal.
Li Qiufan immediately gave the order to the three columns to continue carrying out the next task.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, the Second Column took the lead in breaking away and rushing towards the airport.
Next came the fourth column, which also broke away from the team and bypassed the enemy troops on the opposite side, making a detour towards the southern suburbs.
The first column sounded the charge horn instantly, and the commando team that had been organized began to charge towards the enemy's position.
While the first column launched the charge, the heavy artillery division also received the signal and began to extend its artillery fire, covering the entire depth of the enemy's position.
"That's right, the team you brought out is really good!"
Looking at the execution and combat effectiveness of each column of the First Corps, as well as the powerful fire suppression, the boss smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, boss, our troops are pretty good!"
Li Qiufan was very happy to hear the compliment, but he said it modestly.
"You kid, you don't have to sound official to me. When did you become so thin-skinned?"
"The fire suppression of your corps is indeed strong enough, especially those large-caliber howitzers. The enemy can't even lift his head when hit directly, and it can't prevent an effective counterattack at all."
"And the columns below you. Each column actually has its own artillery brigade. This is so damn rich!"
The boss glanced at Li Qiufan with disgust, and then commented on everything he saw.
"Well, these are all the brothers who are capable, and they sacrificed their lives to get them back!"
After hearing the comments, Li Qiufan did not continue to be happy, but spoke cautiously.
"When will you be more assertive? I'm so tired of looking at this fussy guy!"
The boss naturally noticed the change in Li Qiufan and immediately started to curse at him.
But Li Qiufan did not respond, because he knew in his heart that he would lose something if he spoke too much.
Seeing that Li Qiufan stopped talking, the boss immediately understood what he was thinking, and then he could only snort.
While the two were talking, a commando team from the first column had already rushed to the enemy's front-line position and started fighting with the enemy on the position.
This time, the enemy army responsible for defending the river bank only had one integrated division, which was simply thrown out by the old fox as cannon fodder.
The old fox's large forces were all in Xi'an. In order to prevent Li Qiufan from coming over so smoothly, he sent a reorganized division to the river bank to set up defenses and block the People's Liberation Army's crossing troops.
This reorganized division has a total strength of more than 10,000 people, which cannot stop the attack of the first column, let alone the heavy artillery division that provides fierce artillery suppression.
After the commando team rushed to the enemy's first-line position, the follow-up troops also rushed out, and the entire first-line position was captured in a short time.
At this time, the enemies who had retreated to the rear positions were determined to retreat, and they no longer had the courage to fight.
However, due to the artillery blockade of the heavy artillery division, they were unable to withdraw at all and could only stay in their positions to fight back.
Erhu seemed to have read the enemy's thoughts, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the First Column to attack and at the same time shout to the enemy to persuade him to surrender.
After the boss saw this scene, he almost choked on his own saliva.
"Ahem, is this what your kid taught you?"
"Everyone either fights directly or persuades them to surrender first and then fights. There's no way they can fight and persuade them to surrender at the same time!"
The boss looked at Li Qiufan, wondering if he taught him this.
"Well, this guy is definitely self-taught, I didn't teach him any of this!"
Upon hearing the boss's inquiry, Li Qiufan quickly began to shirk responsibility, and at the same time felt helpless towards Erhu.
At this time, the enemy soldiers were also very confused. Faced with the People's Liberation Army soldiers who were trying to persuade them to surrender while charging at them with guns, they didn't know what to choose.
