"Order the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade to bombard the enemy troops entering Zhenxingli, and blow them all to ashes for me!"
After seeing that the Southern Dynasty troops had arrived at Zhenxingli, Li Qiufan immediately issued the order for the bombardment.
Li Qiufan saw that the commander of the beautiful country on the opposite side was very cautious, so he came up with this trick to lure the enemy deeper and let the troops in Caofangling retreat, making the enemy think they had an opportunity.
Then, after the enemy troops crossed Caofangling, they bombarded them in Zhenheung-ni. After the bombardment, they sent troops to attack them.
In this way, the Capital Division of the Southern Dynasty went deep alone, with no support behind it. After being bombarded, it could only run back desperately.
The Capital Division, which had already suffered heavy losses, was even worse now. Less than 2,000 troops fled back, and they immediately lost the ability to continue fighting. Moreover, the troops that had originally withdrawn from Caofangling regained their positions.
The commander of the First Army of the Southern Dynasty was paralyzed. Two to three thousand people were brought in again and again, and the entire capital division was defeated by him.
The commander of the 10th Army of the Beautiful Country in the rear also knew the situation of the Capital Division at this time, and then began to curse.
Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Tenth Army ordered the Third Division of the Southern Dynasty to withdraw, and at the same time, he also transferred back the two Marine regiments on the Gaodashan line and the two regiments of the Third Infantry Division at Fuzhan Ridge.
The simultaneous attack on three fronts did not achieve much results, so the commander of the Tenth Army decided to take a rest and then concentrate his superior forces to attack Huangcaoling.
Early the next morning, the commander of the Tenth Army requested the cooperation of the aircraft carrier and dispatched more than 20 carrier-based aircraft to clear the way for the army troops.
At the same time, he ordered the Third Division of the Southern Dynasties and the Third Infantry Division of the Tenth Army, plus a Marine Regiment of the First Marine Division, to launch an attack on three highlands including Yantai Peak.
The enemy troops invested nearly 30,000 troops in this attack, and Li Qiufan immediately ordered the troops in Yantai Peak and other three highlands to withdraw from their positions.
After the enemy's leading troops arrived at Yantai Peak, they discovered that the volunteers on the position had withdrawn.
After learning the news, the commander of the Tenth Army thought it was a strategic retreat of the Volunteers, and then formed a rapid assault force to defeat them before they could redeploy.
This fast assault force has more than 40 tanks, more than 200 armored vehicles and cars, and the more than 20 carrier-based aircraft have not returned and are following the fast assault force.
On the other side, Li Qiufan was already preparing for the next step while withdrawing his troops from Yantai Peak and other highlands.
He first dispatched the engineering battalion of the armored division to Sanjuli, which was the only way from Yantai Peak to the main position of Huangcaoling.
Sanjuli is a low-lying area with mountains on both sides. The task given by Li Qiufan to the engineering battalion was to plant explosives on both sides of the mountains and prepare to detonate them when the enemy troops passed by.
In addition, the reserve team was transferred to the main position of Huangcaoling for supplementary defense, and at the same time, Li Yunlong was asked to lead the mountain division to Zhanling and rush to Gaodashan.
But Li Qiufan never expected that the enemy would form a rapid assault force and use more than 40 tanks to lead the charge.
Upon seeing this, Li Qiufan immediately issued a new order to the engineering battalion, asking it to let go of the enemy's tank troops and wait for the armored vehicles and cars behind to catch up before bombing.
The enemy's rapid assault force had tanks and aircraft to clear the way, so it was completely unprepared.
After letting the enemy tanks pass three miles, the engineer battalion detonated the explosives when armored vehicles and cars arrived.
Then there were several loud noises, and countless rolling stones slid down from the mountains on both sides, hitting the enemy's armored vehicles and cars, paralyzing the rapid assault force in place.
The tanks in the lead did not know what was happening in the rear, because their task was to open the road, so the distance between them and the convoy was quite far, and the fastest ones had already rushed to the Fushengli area.
These more than 40 tanks needed to cross a bridge if they wanted to pass through Fushengli. Li Qiufan did not intercept them here, but allowed them to cross the bridge smoothly.
But after all the enemy tanks crossed the bridge, Li Qiufan gave the order to the retreating engineer battalion again to go to Fushengli and blow up the bridge.
As a result, the retreat of these more than 40 tanks was directly cut off, and before the enemy's main force could catch up, Li Qiufan immediately sent two regiments of troops to surround them.
In addition to the infantry, Li Qiufan also pulled up six field cannons and all combat defense artillery to encircle and annihilate these more than 40 tanks.
As a result, none of the more than 40 tanks escaped, and all were retained by Li Qiufan.
But after the fight, there were not many left that could be used, only seventeen.
Others were damaged to varying degrees, but Li Qiufan did not have time to repair it because he received news that the enemy had cleared the roads in Sanjuli.
"Correspondent, inform Li Yunlong to take the mountain division to move to Wulaoli. There is no need to hide the whereabouts. The bigger the momentum, the better!"
"But don't engage in combat with the enemy. If you find something wrong, retreat immediately!"
"In addition, let the troops of the First Army in Gaodashan rush to Sanjuli immediately. Once they reach Sanjuli, they will hide and wait for orders!"
Now that the 3rd Infantry Division of the Southern Dynasty and the 3rd Infantry Division of the 10th Army of the Beautiful Country continued to penetrate deeper and had distanced themselves from the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Infantry Division behind them, Li Qiufan decided to fight back.
Wulaoli, where Li Yunlong was heading, was where the headquarters of the 10th Army of the Beautiful Country was located. The 1st Marine Division was stationed there, and the 7th Infantry Division was in the Yantai Peak area.
Li Qiufan's purpose in sending the Mountain Division to Wulaoli was to contain the 1st Marine Division and at the same time prevent the 7th Infantry Division from advancing forward.
The division of the First Army in Gaodashan was rushing to Sanjuli at this time. Li Qiufan planned to surround the Southern Dynasty 3rd Division and the 3rd Infantry Division after they passed Sanjuli and reached Fushengli.
As Li Qiufan's order was issued, Li Yunlong led the mountain division and rushed to Wulaoli. At the same time, the division of the Gaodashan First Army also rushed to Sanjuli.
At this time, the 3rd Nanchao Division and the 3rd Infantry Division were rushing from Sanjuli to Fushengli after clearing the road, and were not aware of the upcoming danger.
On the other side, after Li Yunlong led the mountain division out of the high mountains, he was quickly discovered by the scouts of the 1st Marine Division.
After discovering that this group of volunteers was marching towards Wu Laoli, the commander of the Tenth Army immediately stopped the 7th Infantry Division that was preparing to follow up and asked it to stand by at Yantai Peak.
Because he was not sure whether the other party's target was them, let alone whether there were other volunteer troops coming towards Wu Laoli.
