At this time, there was another situation that they did not know, that is, the two armies of the 15th Corps stationed in Jiange were transferred to Micang Mountain by the old fox.
This means that the enemy in Bailongjiang has become a lone force. After the fight, the nearest supporting force is from Micang Mountain.
By the time the enemies from Micangshan arrived at Bailongjiang, the battle would have been over long ago.
After the plan was approved, Li Qiufan immediately ordered the troops to start marching westward to the Bailongjiang area.
The enemy troops near Bailong River are stationed in Sanhe Town, which is located on the west side of Kang County, probably less than a day's journey away.
Li Qiufan and his troops quickly arrived nearby, but at this time, the enemy troops in Sanhe Town did not know that the danger was coming.
Because the old fox had not yet found any trace of Li Qiufan at this time and did not know where he went after leaving Chengxian County, the enemies of Sanhe Town did not expect to come to them.
"Lu Ming, your Second Army will be the main attack this time, and the First Army and Third Army will be responsible for supporting the attack. We must destroy the enemy as quickly as possible!"
"Because once we fight here, it will be difficult to conceal our traces. The main enemy force in northern Sichuan will definitely surround us by then!"
"Be sure to end the battle as quickly as possible, and then transfer as soon as possible!"
After investigating the enemy's defense situation, Li Qiufan immediately made battle arrangements and sent three armies to attack the enemies in Sanhe Town.
"Don't worry, Commander. We have three armies fighting against two armies that are not full of strength. If we are still held back by the other party, then you can just hit me!"
Lu Ming was very excited when he heard that his troops would be the main attack, and immediately made a promise to Li Qiufan.
Although the national army at this time claimed to have as many regiments and armies as there were, they were basically not full of them.
In some cases, an army may only have a few thousand men, and this is not uncommon.
"Okay, I only care about the results. Don't fire cannons here. Let the troops prepare for the attack quickly!"
Li Qiufan waved his hand towards Lu Ming and said, Lu Ming agreed and then returned to the position of the Second Army.
After everything was ready, the three armies began to move closer to the enemy's position in Sanhe Town.
Since it was broad daylight, the enemy quickly spotted them.
After all, more than 90,000 people are no small target, and the darkness can be seen from a long distance away.
After discovering the People's Liberation Army, the faces of the national troops in Sanhe Town turned pale with fright.
They were still guessing where the main force of the People's Liberation Army would go after leaving Chengxian County, but unexpectedly they turned around and arrived in front of them.
The enemy commander in charge of the defense line in the Bailongjiang area immediately sent a telegram to Old Fox asking for help, saying that he had discovered the main force of the People's Liberation Army and would launch an attack on them immediately.
And the old fox had broken countless teacups at this moment, and mobilized so many people, but he couldn't find any trace of the People's Liberation Army.
Just when he was wondering where these more than 100,000 people would go, the communications soldier suddenly ran in front of him with a telegram from Sanhe Town.
After reading the telegram, the old fox immediately began to mobilize troops to support Sanhe Town.
Even if the troops stationed in Sanhe Town cannot be saved, the hundreds of thousands of people from the People's Liberation Army will still be trapped there.
In order to contain Li Qiufan, Old Fox directly mobilized three of his own corps, plus two armies of the 15th Corps.
At this time, he already knew that the People's Liberation Army on the Bailongjiang River was a lone army, and there were no other troops at all.
So the old fox directly withdrew the first line of defense, plus the newly formed Seventh Corps responsible for the second line of defense, a total of nearly 180,000 people headed towards Sanhe Town.
The defense line in Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain was taken over by the approaching 16th Corps.
While the old fox was dispatching his troops, the battle in Sanhe Town also started.
Although Li Qiufan ordered Lu Ming's Second Army to be the main attack, the First Army and the Third Army provided support.
However, Erhu and Li Yunlong were not used to the Second Army at all, and they forcibly fought in three main directions of attack.
Moreover, the three armies are still secretly competing to see who can capture the enemy's position first.
Under the fierce attack of the three armies, the enemy troops in Sanhe Town were defeated steadily and soon lost their first line of position.
"These three stupid idiots, each one is more stupid than the other!"
Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Li Qiufan quickly understood what was going on, and then shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
But Zhao Gang didn't understand what Li Qiufan meant, and asked him doubtfully.
"Those three idiots are competing. All three armies are attacking!"
Upon hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Heizi on the side smiled and explained before Li Qiufan could speak.
"The stubborn Erhu and Li Yunlong seem to be tight-lipped again. I will give them a good education after the battle!"
After Zhao Gang heard Heizi's explanation, his face darkened, and then he said he wanted to deal with Erhu and Li Yunlong.
Erhu and Li Yunlong, who were commanding at the front line, sneezed inexplicably, and then felt a chill on their backs.
The enemy troops in Sanhe Town retreated again and again, and were soon completely surrounded by the three armies. Then all the surviving national soldiers chose to surrender.
"Order the troops to quickly collect usable ammunition, destroy all weapons and equipment that cannot be taken away, and take no prisoners!"
Seeing that the battle was over, Li Qiufan hurriedly said to Heizi beside him. Heizi agreed and sent someone to notify Erhu and the others.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, Erhu and the others quickly notified commanders and fighters at all levels, and then each unit began to quickly clean up the battlefield.
The main materials collected were ammunition and food, and other unused weapons and equipment were sunk into the Bailong River.
After cleaning the battlefield and sending away all the prisoners, Li Qiufan ordered the troops to start moving.
Because the enemy's reinforcements were not far away from them at this time, and they might not be able to escape if they were delayed any longer.
Among the reinforcements sent by the old fox this time, the Fifth Corps, the Eighteenth Corps and the new Seventh Corps came out. In addition, there were two armies of the Fifteenth Corps.
These troops were divided into three directions and surrounded Sanhe Town.
Among them, the 18th Corps and the newly formed 7th Corps took Kang County, which was the road Li Qiufan took from Kang County to Bailongjiang.
The Fifth Corps marched into the county and supported it from the north.
The main force of the Fifth Corps was originally stationed in Foping and Zhen'an, and happened to go directly to Chengxian County via Liuba County.
The two armies of the 15th Corps went to Yuhe Town on the south side of Kang County, blocking Li Qiufan's way south.
However, after Li Qiufan left Sanhe Town with his troops, he did not choose to break out from Yuhe Town, which had the weakest troops, but headed towards Chengxian County.
Because Li Qiufan guessed that the old fox would not take the initiative to expose the flaws to him. Although it seemed that the two armies in Yuhe Town were the best, Li Qiufan felt that the old fox must have a backup plan.
Li Qiufan's guess was not wrong. At the moment when the old fox mobilized troops to support Sanhe Town, the enemy's 22nd Corps in the Yibin area began to move north.
