"Damn, these stupid flies are so annoying!"
Seeing the forward positions being bombarded continuously, Li Qiufan said with an ugly expression.
"Commander, our plane is coming!"
Just as Li Qiufan was cursing with a sullen face, a correspondent suddenly shouted at Li Qiufan.
Li Qiufan followed the sound and looked to the sky behind him. Sure enough, their fighter pilots had arrived.
"We've finally arrived. Contact the Fourth Army immediately and ask if they have arrived in Jingu!"
Seeing his plane arriving, Li Qiufan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the correspondent to contact the Fourth Army to ask for their location.
At this time, the Fourth Army was only a dozen kilometers away from Jinguli, and immediately responded after receiving the inquiry from Li Qiufan.
"Report to Commander, the Fourth Army's response is still more than ten kilometers away from Jinguli!"
After receiving the reply from the Fourth Army, the correspondent immediately reported to Li Qiufan.
"Let the Fourth Army speed up and rush to Jinguli as soon as possible to establish an interception defense line. We can't delay the enemy here for too long. There are too many enemy planes!"
"In addition, notify the Second Army and ask Lu Ming to deploy a division from the rear to the 38th Army position and prepare to break through the enemy's defense line on the left flank!"
After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan immediately asked him to urge the Fourth Army. At the same time, he transferred a division from the Second Army to the left flank, preparing to break through from the flank.
At this time, the planes in the sky were engaged in an air battle, and the troops on the ground were also fighting fiercely, but Li Qiufan closed his eyes and waited for the news.
As time went by, two hours passed quickly.
At this time, the fighter divisions that came for reinforcements had returned, and the enemy aircraft were preparing for a new round of bombing.
"Report to the commander! The Fourth Army reports that it has arrived at the designated location and has established an interception defense line!"
Just when Li Qiufan's frown deepened, the voice of the correspondent suddenly sounded in the command post, and then Li Qiufan's frown relaxed.
"Order the 38th Army to immediately launch a fierce attack on the position of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country! Notify the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade to provide artillery support!"
"Order the Second Army to take the initiative to attack, move directly to the left flank, and penetrate in the direction of Shuiluoshan!"
"Have the tank regiment immediately launch an attack on the positions of the 1st Cavalry Division and 1st Marine Division, and notify the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade to provide artillery support!"
"In addition, tell Erhu to let his First Army contain the 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Marine Division for me, and don't let them have the opportunity to cause trouble with the Second Army!"
As soon as the correspondent finished speaking, Li Qiufan immediately stood up and issued orders to the troops.
First, the 38th Army launched a fierce attack on the position of the Second Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country, and the position of the Second Infantry Division was located in Ziyili.
Immediately afterwards, the Second Army was separated from the frontal battlefield and penetrated from the left flank of the Uijeongbu to the Suluoshan area.
However, Li Qiufan's purpose was not to let the Second Army actually penetrate into Shuiluoshan, but to give the Second Infantry Division a signal that the Volunteer Army was going to cut off their retreat.
Then the 2nd Infantry Division of the Meili Kingdom was forced to withdraw from the Ziyili area, move closer to Qinfali and Lishili, and join up with the 1st Division of the Southern Dynasty.
When the Second Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country and the First Division of the Southern Dynasty joined together, that was the moment when Li Qiufan really took action.
Because the Ziyili area is not very far from the positions of the 1st National Cavalry Division and the 1st Marine Division, although the First Army was able to contain it, Li Qiufan knew that it would not be able to delay it for long.
That's why the Second Infantry Division was forced to move closer to Qinfali and Lishili, and to widen the distance from the 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Marine Division.
When the distance is widened and the 1st Cavalry Division and 1st Marine Division are unable to provide timely support, the beautiful country commander will definitely make all enemy troops retreat to the second-line defensive positions.
At that time, the Fourth Army can play a role, directly intercepting the Second Infantry Division and the First Division of the Southern Dynasties in the Jinguli area, and then the 38th Army and the Second Army on the front can encircle them.
However, the whole process was as expected by Li Qiufan. When the Second Army moved closer to the left flank, the First Cavalry Division was ready to intercept it, but then the First Army launched a fierce attack on the First Cavalry Division's position.
This time the First Army's attack was particularly fierce. The First Cavalry Division had no choice but to respond with all its strength, and then contacted the Second Infantry Division to inform them of the situation.
After receiving the news, the Second Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country immediately dispatched troops to investigate the march route of the Second Army to speculate on the opponent's target.
After discovering that the Second Army was heading towards the water and the mountains, the commander of the Second Infantry Division immediately realized that this was to cut off their retreat, and then ordered the troops to alternate cover and retreat to the Qinvali area.
Because the 1st Cavalry Division had told them that they could not provide support within a short period of time, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division did not dare to wait for the 1st Cavalry Division at the risk of being surrounded.
"Report to the commander, the Second Infantry Division has withdrawn from the Yili area and is heading towards the Qinfali area!"
After the Second Infantry Division withdrew from the Yili area, Li Qiufan received a telegram from the 38th Army here.
"Order the 38th Army to pursue it and let the Second Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country and the First Division of the Southern Dynasty join together!"
"Inform the Second Army and ask them to divert and occupy Ziyili, leaving one division to garrison. The other troops will follow the 38th Army to continue the pursuit!"
After hearing the report from the correspondent, Li Qiufan immediately gave the order to the 38th Army to continue the pursuit, and the Second Army diverted to Ziyili.
At this time, the Beautiful Country's Second Infantry Division, which had just retreated to the Qin expedition, encountered a regiment of the 38th Army that had stayed here before.
Suddenly being ambushed, and with the volunteers behind them continuing to pursue, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country could only order the troops to continue retreating towards Teseok-ri.
After the Second Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country continued to withdraw from the Qin expedition, the 38th Army stopped its pursuit and then reported to Li Qiufan.
"Inform the Second Army that there is no need to defend Ziyili. Mobilize all troops to join the 38th Army and encircle the Second Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country!"
After receiving the news, Li Qiufan immediately knew that the opponent had fallen into the trap, and then asked the Second Army and the 30th Army to continue to force the Second Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country and let it retreat with the First Division of the Southern Dynasties.
Sure enough, after observing that the volunteers were about to encircle themselves, the commander of the Second Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country immediately contacted the commander of the Beautiful Country to report.
After the commander of the beautiful country learned the news, he had no choice but to issue a retreat order in order to prevent the Second Infantry Division from following in the footsteps of the 24th Infantry Division.
