On the other side, all the senior officials of the Twelfth Corps frowned. The casualty figures recorded on this day were simply outrageous.
Nearly 20,000 people were lost, which had already weakened their Twelfth Corps.
But now there is no other way but to bite the bullet and launch an attack on the People's Liberation Army position in Shuangmiao Village, because they received a death order.
After a short rest, the 12th Corps organized a new round of attack.
This time, tanks that had not appeared for a long time appeared again. The 12th Corps dispatched a total of eight tanks.
And this time, they did not use it as an infantry bunker to clear the way, but mixed in the crowd and headed towards the Shuangmiao Village position.
All tank drivers received orders not to block bullets for the infantry, but to avoid the opponent's artillery fire and then wait for opportunities to strike at the People's Liberation Army's heavy weapons.
However, Li Qiufan was not someone who spoiled children. He naturally saw the enemy's intentions and immediately ordered all field cannons and anti-tank artillery to use full firepower to destroy the enemy's tanks.
At the same time, the heavy artillery division also received orders to cover the charging enemy with artillery fire to suppress the offensive edge of the 12th Corps.
Li Qiufan was observing the situation on the front line with a telescope at this time. Suddenly he noticed something was wrong with a glance from the corner of his eye. The old brigade commander didn't know where he was.
After discovering that the old brigade commander was missing, Li Qiufan quickly put down his telescope and asked Heizi and the correspondent beside him.
However, because several people were observing the battle, they did not notice when the old brigade commander left.
Upon hearing this, Li Qiufan quickly put the binoculars in front of his eyes, and then looked in the direction of the position in charge of the old brigade commander's column.
After some searching, Li Qiufan indeed saw the figure of the old brigade commander on the battlefield.
At this time, the old brigade commander was directing the soldiers to carry things. Li Qiufan took a closer look and it turned out to be a gasoline barrel.
"Heartless cannon?"
The moment he saw the gasoline barrel, Li Qiufan asked himself, and the scene that appeared next confirmed his suspicion.
The old brigade commander directed the soldiers to carry the heartless cannon. After everyone was in place, the old brigade commander gave the order to fire.
From this, another sound appeared on the battlefield. Muffled sounds suddenly rose up, followed by countless explosive packets flying towards the enemy.
The enemy's attack has not changed today. The old brigade commander's side is still their focus, with the largest number of attacking troops.
As the heartless cannon opened fire, a large area of the enemy that was attacking crazily fell instantly.
The old brigade commander laughed out loud when he saw this scene, and then ordered the soldiers to continue firing.
"Heizi, take someone to bring the old brigade commander back. If something happens to him, the boss and the teacher will take my skin off!"
Li Qiufan looked at the laughing old brigade commander through the telescope and shook his head helplessly, then ordered Heizi to invite him back to the command post.
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Heizi confirmed the old brigade commander's location and set off with his men.
It didn't take long for the old brigade commander to come back, chatting with Heizi and the others, and kept cursing.
"Li Qiufan! Your wings are so stiff! You dare to send someone to tie me up!"
After entering the command post, the old brigade commander walked away from Heizi and the others and came to Li Qiufan, and then growled at him.
"Old brigade commander, what are you talking about? I asked them to invite you back!"
When Li Qiufan heard the old brigade commander's words, he quickly took the blame and innocently spread his hands towards the old brigade commander.
"I don't care! That stupid Heizi must be your deputy commander! If I don't come back with him, this kid actually picked me up and ran away!"
"Tell me who I should settle this debt with!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan was still trying to remove himself, the old brigade commander pointed at Heizi and said what he had done just now, and then stared at Li Qiufan and stopped talking.
"What? Heizi is carrying you and running away?"
After hearing what Heizi did, Li Qiufan was stunned for a moment. He never expected that this guy's execution would be so strong.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, why would I be so angry?"
The old brigade commander was also very depressed. When he saw Heizi and the others, he knew that they were sent by Li Qiufan to find him.
Originally, he just wanted to watch a little longer at the front line and then return to the command post, but due to the heavy pressure from Heizi and the others, the old brigade commander was too impatient to say anything back and just stayed at the front line.
After hearing this, Heizi thought about it carefully, and then in order to save Li Qiufan's skin, he directly carried the old brigade commander on his shoulders when he was not paying attention.
Then Heizi took the lead, and several others ran towards the command post, and when they arrived not far from the command post, they released the old brigade commander.
"You idiot! I asked you to invite me back, but who asked you to carry it!"
"Old brigade commander, I haven't even taken it on yet, but you got one step ahead of me. You should be shot for your stupidity!"
Seeing that the old brigade commander was furious, Li Qiufan immediately reprimanded Heizi.
The previous sentence sounded quite normal, but gradually the style of the painting became strange. The old brigade commander frowned and looked at Li Qiufan.
"What? Are you so stupid that you want to carry me?"
The old brigade commander stared at Li Qiufan with his eyes as if he wanted to eat Li Qiufan alive.
"It's okay, old brigade commander. Isn't this for your safety? That's why I asked Heizi to invite you back."
"This boy is a little impatient. Country men are more rude. You old man, please be more considerate!"
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Li Qiufan smiled and explained to the old brigade commander.
"Hmph! No matter who brings out the soldiers, you are not a good thing!"
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, the old brigade commander couldn't get angry anymore and could only stare at him and say something insulting.
"You brought me out!"
After hearing the old brigade commander's words, Li Qiufan's expression became a little unnatural. He muttered something in a low voice and turned to look at the front line.
At this time, the enemy's attack was pushed back again, and due to the unconscionable investment of artillery, it caused considerable losses to the enemy.
"What do you think of the heat?"
The old brigade commander was also observing the front line at this time, and asked Li Qiufan while looking through the binoculars.
"Let's give them one more ax to swing. Once they have finished swinging three axes, it will be our turn!"
Li Qiufan also stared intently and replied to the old brigade commander while watching.
Li Qiufan's plan was to rely on his position to consume the enemy's troops first, and then counterattack after the enemy's troops were almost worn down.
The enemy army must be more anxious than them at this time, because they are the ones who need to rush to support.
And Li Qiufan just needs to make him crazy. When the other person is completely crazy, he will be a lamb to be slaughtered.
"You are really insidious. You obviously have the ability to win, but you don't take action directly."
"You have to wait until people are driven crazy. If you dare to stand up again!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the old brigade commander put down the telescope in his hand and said to Li Qiufan with a strange expression.
"Isn't it to reduce casualties?"
Li Qiufan was helpless. He did this entirely to avoid unnecessary losses and minimize casualties.
