"Um, why do you say that?"
After hearing what the old brigade commander said, Li Qiufan scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
"Damn it, you little bitch has made me worry for so long, you really lose your conscience!"
Seeing Li Qiufan's reaction, the old brigade commander immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, and then he directly raised his leg and gave Li Qiufan a kick and began to curse.
"No, old brigade commander, you didn't ask before!"
Li Qiufan, who was kicked, quickly distanced himself from the old brigade commander, then spread his hands and said with an innocent look on his face.
"Then you can't fucking say it yourself! You have to wait for me to ask!"
The old brigade commander became even more angry after hearing Li Qiufan's words, but after looking at the distance between the two, he stopped taking action because he couldn't reach him.
"Ahem, this isn't..."
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief! The First Corps called to report that it has entered the Hengcheng area. The First Army under it is establishing an interception defense line in the Hengcheng area. The Second Army and the Fourth Army are continuing to march towards Brother Peak!"
Just when Li Qiufan wanted to explain to the old brigade commander, suddenly the correspondent ran over with a telegram to report.
"What! Arrived in Hengcheng?!"
After hearing the correspondent's report, the old brigade commander opened his eyes wide and asked him, then reached out and grabbed the telegram without waiting for the other party to answer.
"Are you here?"
Li Qiufan was also a little confused at this moment, and asked the old brigade commander blankly.
“Hahahahaha………….”
"It's really here! Qiu Fan, Qiu Fan, your army is so damn decent!"
The old brigade commander didn't pay any attention to Li Qiufan's inquiry. After carefully reading the telegram sent by the First Corps, he burst out laughing, then gave a thumbs up to Li Qiufan and said.
"Hoo~"
"These two tigers really surprised me!"
After hearing the old brigade commander's words, Li Qiufan took a deep breath and then said with a smile.
At this time, although the First Corps successfully arrived at Hengcheng ahead of the enemy, the atmosphere in the entire Corps was not very happy.
Because of this urgent march, more than 300 people were killed in the first regiment, which made everyone feel very heavy.
And in addition to the more than 300 people who died, there were also many minor and serious casualties, all of which were caused during the march.
Fortunately, the last regiment successfully arrived at Hengcheng and lived up to these sacrificed and injured soldiers.
After the First Corps arrived at Hengcheng, the First Army stayed behind to establish an interception defense line, while the Second Army and the Fourth Army continued to rush to Brother Peak.
As for why the First Army was allowed to stay in Hengcheng, this was not because of the selfish motives of Erhu, but because the First Army was the vanguard army, and it was all done by the First Army to lead the way and explore the way.
At the same time, just as the First Army was building positions to establish an interception line of defense, the enemy's 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country, the Capital Division of the Southern Dynasty and the 3rd Division of the Southern Dynasty had already crossed Hongchuan and were heading towards Hengcheng.
The east-facing Fifth Division of the Southern Dynasty, the Seventh Division of the Southern Dynasty and the Eighth Division of the Southern Dynasty have also arrived in Cangcun and are rushing towards Brothers Peak.
The remaining Ninth Division of the Southern Dynasty, the Eleventh Division of the Southern Dynasty and the Marine Regiment of the Southern Dynasty were in Tiejia Ridge, but they were in no hurry to continue retreating south.
"Qiu Fan, you can give the order!"
After the Fourth Army arrived at Brothers Peak and established an interception defense line, the old brigade commander immediately said to Li Qiufan.
"Well, it's time!"
"Correspondent, inform the Third Corps, Thirteenth Corps, Ninth Corps, and Nineteenth Corps that the interception troops are in place and ask them to kill these sons of bitches for me!"
After hearing the words of the old brigade commander, Li Qiufan nodded immediately, and then asked the correspondent to issue orders to the four regiments pursuing the enemy.
As Li Qiufan's order was issued, the four regiments that were chasing the enemy immediately began to exert their strength, and their marching speed was much faster than before.
The enemy forces also felt changes in the volunteer troops chasing them, and even accelerated their retreat.
The fastest among them was the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country. Although it was positioned as an infantry division, it had a large number of mobile troops and arrived in Hengcheng before the Southern Capital Division and the Southern Third Division.
But just as the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country was preparing to pass through the Hengcheng area, the First Army opened fire brazenly.
The ambush of the First Army caught the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country by surprise, but because it did not carry heavy weapons, the 7th Infantry Division quickly adjusted and organized a counterattack.
However, although it did not have heavy weapons, the First Army withstood the attack of the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country and did not allow it to advance further.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the First Army of the First Corps has reported that it has engaged in fire with the enemy troops retreating south. The opponent is the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country!"
After the First Army fought with the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country, Li Qiufan received the news.
"Notify the armored division to immediately go to Hengcheng to reinforce the First Army!"
After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan immediately issued the order and directly sent the entire armored division to Hengcheng for support.
When the Third Corps and the Thirteenth Corps transferred to the Eastern Front, the Armored Division followed the Third Corps.
After the Third Corps entered the Qingpingchuan area, Li Qiufan gave the order to the armored division to leave the Third Corps and go to the Yangping area to stand by, accompanied by a division deployed by the Third Corps.
The purpose of sending the armored division to Yangping is to allow it to quickly reinforce the blocking forces.
Moreover, Li Qiufan had another purpose in sending the entire armored division to Hengcheng for reinforcements.
That is to drive the enemy troops eastward, and with the cooperation of the Third Corps and the Thirteenth Corps, force all the enemy troops on the eastern front together so that they can annihilate them.
Before the armored division rushed to the Hengcheng area, the First Army had to go through a difficult period, because the Southern Capital Division and the Southern Third Division following the Beautiful Country's 7th Infantry Division also came up.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Southern Dynasty troops is relatively weak, these 16,000 to 7,000 people still pose a considerable threat, especially the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country is still in front.
And in order to arrive at Hengcheng in time to intercept the enemy, the entire First Corps did not carry heavy firepower equipment. The only long-range firepower was mortars, and they were medium-sized.
At the same time, the commander of the beautiful country also received the news that the Eastern Front troops had been intercepted. He was so angry that he almost lost his hair.
In the last battle in Seoul, the volunteers appeared mysteriously on the south bank of the Han River, directly cutting off the retreat of all troops on the western front. Unexpectedly, such a move came again on the eastern front, which made the commander of the beautiful country collapse. .
