"Correspondent, order the 5th Brigade of the Mountain Division to withdraw from the repair mountain position and make a detour from the position of the First People's Army of the Northern Dynasty to the flank of the enemy's Turkish National Brigade!"
After being beaten for a day, Li Qiufan decided to launch a night attack to get some interest back first.
But now they don't have enough troops, so they can only pick the weak ones and attack the Tuguo Brigade first.
The Tuguo Brigade was located on the westernmost side of the enemy's defense line, facing the positions of the First People's Army of the Northern Dynasty, so Li Qiufan asked the Fifth Brigade of the Mountain Division to bypass the positions of the Northern Dynasty troops.
Furthermore, the American troops who launched a night attack from the flank could not arrive in time, and there were no obstacles on the retreat route, thus avoiding the possibility of being surrounded.
Although there was only one brigade of the Mountain Division in this night attack, it was enough to deal with a roving army like the Tuguo Brigade.
And Li Qiufan also equipped the fifth brigade with enough light machine guns and rocket launchers, as well as a large number of light mortars and artillery shells.
After communicating with the First Army of the People's Republic of China, the Fifth Brigade passed through its position and circled to the flank of the Tuguo Brigade.
"Inform the fifth brigade and give me a hard beating!"
After receiving the news that the fifth brigade had arrived at the scheduled position, Li Qiufan immediately issued the order to attack.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, the artillery of the 5th Brigade immediately opened fire, with more than a hundred light mortars firing shells continuously.
The Turkish National Brigade did not expect that the volunteers would launch a night attack. In an unprepared state, the entire position exploded in an instant.
Not only the Turkish brigade, but also the commander of the beautiful country did not expect that the volunteer army would take the initiative to attack under such a disadvantage.
After a brief panic, the Turkish Brigade immediately organized a counterattack and at the same time asked for help from the 25th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country.
After receiving the request for help from the Turkish National Brigade, the 25th Infantry Division responded very quickly and sent two infantry battalions and a tank company directly to the Turkish National Brigade position for support.
However, because the field of vision was restricted at night, rash shelling might accidentally injure the Turkish National Brigade, so no artillery support was carried out.
It was only after Li Qiufan grasped this that he thought of launching a night attack.
Because the artillery on both sides became blind at night, the beautiful Chinese troops who originally had suppressive firepower could not exert their advantage at all.
Although the 25th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country sent support, there was still a distance from the Turkish Brigade position and it would take some time to arrive.
During this period, the fifth brigade made great achievements. Mortars continued to bombard the Tuguo Brigade, covering the charge of the soldiers of the fifth brigade.
In addition, there were countless rocket launchers for precise strikes, and all the firepower points on the Turkish National Brigade's position were quickly knocked out.
Finally, this is the strength of the volunteer soldiers. In the dark night, they use the firelight to fight closely with the soldiers of the Turkish National Brigade.
The soldiers of the Tuguo Brigade had never seen such a scene before. They started to flee, shouting and screaming, even throwing away the weapons in their hands.
Seeing the Turkish brigade begin to flee, the soldiers of the fifth brigade did not pursue it because they knew that the troops from the beautiful country were on their way to support.
After briefly cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of the fifth brigade began to retreat, and their figures disappeared into the darkness.
By the time the reinforcements from the 25th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country arrived, the fifth brigade had long disappeared. Only the corpses lying on the position and the fire after the explosion proved that a battle had occurred here not long ago.
This time the Fifth Brigade destroyed one-third of the Turkish Brigade's troops with only over 200 casualties, and there were still many lightly and seriously injured people who survived.
After the commander of the beautiful country learned about the battle damage, he angrily cursed the Turkish army with an ugly face, saying that they were just a bunch of pigs who only knew how to eat and sleep.
"Hahahaha, damn, I finally got rid of the bad breath. I feel so refreshed!"
After the fifth brigade came back, they immediately reported the battle situation to Li Qiufan, and then Li Qiufan laughed.
"Yes, it's really uplifting. It's so damn enjoyable!"
Even Zhao Gang relaxed his frown, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
"Let the garrison troops in various positions be on alert to prevent the enemy from becoming angry. Let us do the same for a while!"
After being happy, Li Qiufan asked the correspondent to notify the garrison troops at each position, asking them to be on alert to prevent the enemy from retaliating.
However, the commanders of the beautiful country did not follow suit because they were not good at night attacks, and when they launched an attack at night, their firepower advantage could not be used.
In the early morning, Li Qiufan, who was snoring for a while, was suddenly woken up by Zhao Gang. When he opened his eyes, he saw the commander of the 38th Army.
"Lao Liang? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
After seeing the commander of the 38th Army, Li Qiufan immediately exclaimed, and then wondered if he was dreaming.
"Report to the deputy commander, the 38th Army is here!"
After seeing Li Qiufan's reaction, the commander of the 38th Army first looked at Zhao Gang and smiled, then straightened his body and saluted Li Qiufan.
"Qiu Fan, you are not dreaming, the 38th Army has really arrived!"
Zhao Gang also smiled at Li Qiufan, then pointed at the commander of the 38th Army and said.
"Hahaha, damn it! You're here, Lao Liang. I'm worried about not having enough troops!"
When he learned that the 38th Army had really arrived, Li Qiufan burst out laughing, and then hugged the commander of the 38th Army.
"Deputy Commander, are we not too late? After receiving the order from the Volunteer Army Headquarters, our 38th Army did not even stop and ran right over in one breath!"
The commander of the 38th Army was also very happy to see Li Qiufan and quickly spoke to him.
"It's not too late, it's just the right time!"
Li Qiufan nodded towards the commander of the 38th Army, and then said with a smile.
"Deputy Commander, look at how our 38th Army will arrange it. I will lead the troops into the position immediately!"
After the pleasantries, it was time to get down to business. The commander of the 38th Army asked Li Qiufan about their arrangements.
"Your Thirty-Eighth Army is in no hurry to show up. I will use you as a trump card!"
After hearing the question from the commander of the 38th Army, Li Qiufan shook his head and said.
"The trump card?"
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, the commander of the 38th Army and Zhao Gang were very confused and didn't understand what Li Qiufan wanted to do.
"That's right! Although we are at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, we can't always be beaten. An honest man will scold his mother when he is anxious. Besides, I am not a peaceful person!"
Li Qiufan smiled and nodded to the two of them, but did not express his thoughts.
"Anyway, deputy commander, you can tell me what arrangements you have. This is not the first time that I, Old Liang, have fought under your command!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan did not explain, the commander of the 38th Army was not dissatisfied, but believed in him very much.
