"Why do I need to tell you if I need to keep it a secret? I think you're being naughty on purpose!"
Although he knew that what Li Qiufan said was probably true, Zhao Gang was still a little angry and continued to yell at him.
"Maybe we are afraid that we will attack the 22nd Corps directly. Then we will be wiped out before the uprising. Thank you!"
Li Qiufan didn't know why the boss told him, so he could only say helplessly to Zhao Gang.
And the boss did have this consideration. He was afraid that Li Qiufan would be too picky and would be done with the 22nd Corps once and for all.
Therefore, a telegram was sent to Li Qiufan, informing him of the situation of the 22nd Corps.
"I guess what you said makes sense."
After hearing Li Qiufan's explanation, Zhao Gang couldn't continue to pester him anymore, so he could only nodded and said to him.
"Report to Commander, news came from the First Army that the enemy's 95th Army has surrendered!"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the correspondent came to Li Qiufan and reported to them.
"Haha, the uprising of the 22nd Corps was effective. The 95th Army actually surrendered without fighting."
After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan smiled and said to Zhao Gang beside him.
"The impact is indeed good. It saved us a lot of energy and prevented the troops from suffering casualties!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Zhao Gang nodded and responded.
"Order the First Army to enter the city and accept the surrender, and the other troops will be stationed outside the city!"
After taking Chengdu, Li Qiufan did not continue to go south, but stationed in Chengdu, preparing to take a rest and deal with local affairs.
Another consideration is the battlefield on the Eastern Front. He is afraid that if they continue to move south, all the enemy troops on the Eastern Front will flee to their side, and they may be stolen by then.
So Li Qiufan decided to stop in Chengdu, wait for the progress of the Eastern Front battlefield, and plan the next route.
On the battlefield on the eastern front, the main force of the Second Field Army, the First Division of the Fourth Field Army, and Wang Huzi's Second Corps were unstoppable, and the enemy troops continued to retreat westward.
After Li Qiufan noticed this situation, he immediately sent the Fifth Army to Suining, the Fourth Army to Ziyang, and the Third Army to Leshan to intercept the enemy troops fleeing west.
At the same time, the Mountain Division and the Second Army were sent to Ya'an and launched an attack on the 24th Army stationed in Ya'an.
The 24th Army did not choose to surrender, but was completely annihilated by the Mountain Division and the Second Army. So far, there were no more Chinese troops on the Western Front.
The battle on Li Qiufan's side is completely over, the Eastern Front battlefield is also coming to an end, and the entire Sichuan is about to be fully liberated.
"Qiu Fan, what are you thinking about?"
On this day, after Zhao Gang finished handling local work, he went to the headquarters to look for Li Qiufan and found him looking at the map in a daze, and then asked him.
"Old Zhao, you are here."
Li Qiufan turned around when he heard Zhao Gang's voice, then turned to say hello.
"What are you looking at? You're so fascinated."
Zhao Gang nodded towards Li Qiufan, and then asked him again.
"I'm looking at this!"
After hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Li Qiufan pointed his finger at a place on the map and said to him.
"Yunnan? What are you looking at here? Yesi didn't order us to fight in Yunnan."
Zhao Gang was a little confused when he saw where Li Qiufan was pointing. He didn't understand why Li Qiufan was paying attention to Yunnan.
"I have already sent a telegram to Ye Si, requesting our First Corps to liberate Yunnan."
After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Qiufan smiled and said to him.
Li Qiufan had already sent a telegram to Ye Si, applying to enter Yunnan.
But there was no response from Ye Si, so Li Qiufan looked at the map in a daze.
"You applied with Yesi? What did Yesi say?"
Hearing Li Qiufan say that he had applied to Yunnan with Yesi, Zhao Gang looked at him with wide eyes and asked.
"Noji didn't reply."
Li Qiufan shook his head at Zhao Gang, and then said to him helplessly.
"Why do you want to go to Yunnan? Isn't it different for other troops to go to liberation?"
Zhao Gang was very puzzled that Li Qiufan wanted to go to Yunnan. He didn't understand why he wanted to go to Yunnan, and it was worth it for him to send a telegram to Ye Si in person to apply.
"I have some plans. That's what I came to the Southwest for in the first place."
Li Qiufan didn't hide anything about Zhao Gang's inquiry, but he didn't make it too clear either.
"What are your plans? Qiu Fan, please don't be stupid!"
Hearing Li Qiufan say he had some plans, Zhao Gang thought he had some bad thoughts, so he warned him anxiously.
"Where are you thinking? It has nothing to do with this!"
After seeing Zhao Gang's reaction, Li Qiufan said to him angrily.
"That's not it? Then what other plans do you have?"
Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Qiufan had not committed any crime, and then became even more curious about what he planned.
"I can't explain this to you!"
Unexpectedly, Li Qiufan didn't explain at all, and left without saying a word.
"baffling!"
Seeing Li Qiufan leave without saying anything, Zhao Gang couldn't help but complain.
On the other side, the boss was sitting at a table, looking at the telegram on the table and thinking deeply.
The telegram on the table was sent by Li Qiufan, and this telegram was withheld by the boss.
The boss was as confused as Zhao Gang about Li Qiufan wanting to go to Yunnan.
Because Li Qiufan wanted to go to Xinjiang before. Both places are border areas, and the boss didn't understand why Li Qiufan wanted to go to these places.
So after receiving the application telegram from Li Qiufan, the boss withheld it.
"Somebody come!"
After thinking for a moment, the boss raised his head and shouted toward the door.
"Boss!"
Soon a guard came in, came to the boss and saluted him with a military salute.
"Ask the correspondent to send a report to the Second Corps and ask Wang Huzi, the commander of the Second Corps, to come back!"
After the guard came in, the boss gave him an order to find a correspondent and send a telegram to Wang Huzi.
Wang Huzi was very confused after receiving the telegram from his boss and didn't understand why he was called back all the way.
At this time, the Second Corps was still cleaning up the remaining enemies on the eastern battlefield. Wang Huzi had no choice but to let the political commissar and deputy commander take command, and rushed to Xi'an with a few guards.
After Wang Huzi arrived in Xi'an, the boss chatted with him for a long time in the headquarters, and then asked him to return to the southwest battlefield.
After Wang Huzi left, a telegram was sent to the Military Commission, and not long after, Li Qiufan received the order from the wild secretary.
"Heizi, gather the troops immediately!"
After receiving the order, Li Qiufan was very excited and immediately shouted for Heizi to assemble the troops.
"Assemble the troops? Where to go?"
Heizi was confused after hearing Li Qiufan's words. The remaining enemies on the Western Front battlefield had been cleared out long ago. He didn't understand where Li Qiufan was going when he gathered his troops.
"Yunnan!"
After hearing Heizi's inquiry, Li Qiufan said to him with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
