I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 120 Nanguan Railway Station

In the evening, the brigade commander brought the brigade headquarters to this area. This time, the combat mission of the 386th brigade was to take down the Nanguan Railway Station newly built by the devils.

At Nanguan Railway Station, the devils had a lot of garrisons. In addition, the devils built strongholds along the railway line, so the brigade commander had to pay enough attention.Everyone knows that it will not be easy to take down Nanguan Railway Station, and the brigade commander also knows that this is a difficult bone, which is why the brigade commander chooses to come to sit in the town in person.

Soon, some soldiers came to inform Li Yunlong, the head of the regiment, to hold a combat meeting and assign corresponding combat tasks.

Liu Gen and the others couldn't go there, so they could only wait patiently in the independent regiment. Of course, Liu Gen was not idle. He took the soldiers of the artillery company to scout, to find a suitable position for the artillery company during the battle.Unlike ordinary soldiers, the soldiers of the artillery company will not easily rush to the front line, but this does not mean that the soldiers of the artillery company do not have to worry about their lives.

The devils attached so much importance to the Baijin Railway, there must be no shortage of mortars and heavy machine guns in their strongholds.Just by simple observation, Liu Gen can see that there are quite a few devils in the devil strongholds, and each stronghold has dozens of devils. Relying on the solid stronghold, these devils can still cause a lot of trouble to the Eighth Route Army.Even if the troops of the 386th brigade successfully captured the Nanguan Railway Station, they would still be surrounded by devils in these strongholds.

Zhao Gang, the political commissar, was not idle either. He was comforting some recruits who had joined the Independence Regiment not long ago. Normally, these recruits wanted to go to the battlefield, but before the battle started, many recruits became nervous.Noticing this, Zhao Gang became busy. He needed to let these recruits quickly adapt to the battlefield environment and keep them calm enough.

Kong Jie, the deputy head of the regiment, was not idle either. He sent out many soldiers and maintained sufficient vigilance.It has to be said that Kong Jie became much more cautious after experiencing the Yangcun encounter.There were mixed whistles and whistles, and the number was not fixed. Only Kong Jie, the deputy head, knew how many soldiers were guarding around.

In order to avoid being discovered by the devils, the soldiers can only eat dry food and cannot cook with fire.

Liu Gen and the soldiers of the artillery company ate the dry food in their hands with cold water. After a few mouthfuls of water, he could swallow the dry food in his mouth.Liu Gen looked at the other soldiers, and he could see that many of them had ugly faces. It was very uncomfortable to eat such dry food.But there is no way, the soldiers can only grit their teeth and eat dry food, so that they will have enough physical strength when the battle begins.

"Genzi, here you are!" Zhang Dabiao came to Liu Gen and took out some pickles.

Liu Gen's eyes lit up, he was so happy to be able to eat some pickles on the battlefield.With pickles, Liu Gen can eat dry food much faster. With pickles, at least Liu Gen can eat dry food with a bit of taste.

"Genzi, when do you think we will attack?" Zhang Dabiao looked at Liu Gen and asked,
Liu Gen laughed, he knew that it would not be that simple for Zhang Dabiao to come to him, "It should be around midnight tonight, all the regiments of our 386 brigade rushed to the corresponding combat positions, and launched an attack directly in the early morning. It is suitable for us. By daytime, with the madness of the devils, fighter planes will definitely be dispatched to deal with the attack of our 386 brigade!"

"Brother Zhang, you also know that we have no means to deal with the devil's fighter planes. The only way we can take down the devil's Nanguan Railway Station tonight, and then retreat in the early morning, is to avoid too many soldier casualties."

"That's right! Genzi, I did not misread you." Zhang Dabiao laughed.The conclusion Liu Gen said was similar to what Zhang Dabiao himself thought. The brigade commander ordered the regiments to arrive at the corresponding combat positions this evening, no doubt because he wanted to take advantage of the night to attack the devils.

Thinking that the battle would start in the middle of the night, Zhang Dabiao looked at Liu Gen with some concern. In such a dark night, can Liu Gen, an artilleryman, still maintain enough combat effectiveness?In the middle of the night, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to control the infantry artillery to hit the devil's shooting hole.Zhang Dabiao knew Liu Gen's performance in the battle before, but he still couldn't help worrying about Liu Gen. This time the battle was very different from the previous ones.

For shelling in the middle of the night, it is necessary to maintain sufficient accuracy and hit the shooting holes of the devils. I am afraid that Liu Gen will also find it difficult to do so.

Zhang Dabiao has observed that the shooting holes set up in the devil's stronghold are in the shape of a character splayed on the outside, small on the inside and big on the outside.Such a setting means that it will be more difficult for the shells to penetrate into the devil's stronghold. When artillery is shelling, they can't still calculate the size of the stronghold's shooting holes inside, right?The inside is small and the outside is big, which means that the shells are likely to hit and explode outside the devil's stronghold, and cannot enter the inside of the devil's stronghold.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I'm fine. Brother Zhang, don't forget that devils are going to shoot, and only devils shoot, so you can see where the devil's shooting holes are." Liu Genkai noticed Zhang Dabiao's worry and smiled. opened the mouth.

Liu Gen looked at the moon in the sky, and he could see that the moonlight was a bit dim tonight, which made him happy instead.Such a dim moonlight means that it will be more difficult for the devil to find the Type [-] infantry artillery, and it will be easier to catch the devil by surprise. It seems that God is helping him.

Three hours later, Li Yunlong came back from the brigade commander, his face was not very good-looking.

This time, the brigade commander handed over the task of taking down the Nanguan Railway Station to Cheng Xiazi of the 772 regiment. Cheng Xiazi even showed off to Li Yunlong, which made Li Yunlong quite annoyed.Damn, Li Yunlong was the one who taught the blind man how to shoot a gun back then, but now that it's all over, Cheng Xiazi dared to compete with Li Yunlong for the task!The more Li Yunlong thought about it, the more angry he became. How could Cheng Xiazi lead the 772 regiment to attack Nanguan Railway Station, and Li Yunlong's independent regiment needed to be responsible for cleaning up the devil's stronghold in this area?

"Damn it! I'm so mad! What kind of mission did the brigade commander assign to our independent regiment, to eradicate the devil's stronghold in this area? Damn, what's the difference between this and the devil's stronghold around Yangcun that we wanted to do before? ?” Li Yunlong yelled loudly.

Zhao Gang frowned. In his opinion, Li Yunlong's anger was quite unnecessary. The brigade commander issued a combat mission, so the independent regiment should carry it out!Now that Li Yunlong is yelling here, it has no effect at all except to make people upset. The brigade commander will not change his mind easily.

"Okay! Old Li, don't shout. It seems that you, Li Yunlong, have fallen out of favor with the brigade commander, or you, Li Yunlong, can't do it anymore, and you can't even win a good combat mission!" Kong Jie was also a little annoyed.Kong Jie thought that according to Li Yunlong's temperament, he would definitely get a good task from the brigade commander. Who knew it would be the task of pulling out the devil's stronghold.

Li Yunlong's eyes widened, "Idiot Kong Er, you fucking blame me? If I'm still in Xinyituan, Cheng Xiazi dares to compete with me for the task? The brigade commander will also give Cheng Xiazi the task of attacking Nanguan Railway Station Didn’t you come to the Independence Regiment, I went to fight for the mission, the brigade commander said that your Independence Regiment just suffered a defeat, so you should be responsible for cleaning up the devil’s stronghold first!”

"What do you think? How can I fight for it?"

Kong Jie was stunned, and in an instant, his eyes turned red, "Old Li! I, Kong Jie, led the Independence Regiment to defeat the battle! Now I want to lead the soldiers to win the battle and wash away the shame of our Independence Regiment! I want to tell the brigade commander that our independent regiment has not let him down! Our independent regiment will become the pride of the 386 brigade! Lao Li! I need combat missions! Soldiers also need combat missions!"

"Old Li! Please count on me, Kong Jie! Go and beg the brigade commander, let us join the independent regiment! If you can't win the Nanguan Railway Station, I, Kong Jie, will come to see you!"
