I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 133 The sooner the better
After resting for half an hour, Liu Gen led the soldiers to set off again. This time Liu Gen asked the soldiers to slow down.

As the speed slowed down, the state of the soldiers recovered a lot, but the time they could continue moving forward increased a lot.Calculated in this way, advancing at such a speed seems to be quite good. The soldiers wanted to speed up their progress, but Liu Gen stopped them. , you can join the battle.

Now let the soldiers speed up and squeeze their physical strength, then it will easily lead to the soldiers not having enough physical strength to fight after arriving in Laiyuan Town, which is not acceptable.

When Liu Gen arrived at Laiyuan Town with his soldiers, he could see Zhang Dabiao leading people waiting for him, and he could see the smile on Zhang Dabiao's face, which made him understand that there should not be many devils in Laiyuan Town. right.After saying hello to Zhang Dabiao, Liu Gen took the binoculars from Zhang Dabiao and looked down at Laiyuan Town.

After careful inspection, Liu Gen found that it might not be that easy to take down Yuanzhen. He could see that the devils had built gun towers on the outskirts of Laiyuan Town, and placed heavy machine guns in more than one place to ensure the safety of Laiyuan Town. .For the devils, Laiyuan Town has a very important strategic value. Who made Laiyuan Town the throat of the Jinzhong area leading to Changzhi?

A large number of mountains and hills separate the Jinzhong area from the Changzhi area, which also makes the strategic position of Laiyuan Town more important. The materials and supplies of the devils need to pass here to ensure the connection and transportation of the two areas.It is precisely because of this that the devil's Zhongcun Squadron is stationed here in Laiyuan Town. Coupled with the cooperation of some puppet troops, it is quite difficult for the Eighth Route Army to take down Yuanzhen.

Once Laiyuan Town was attacked, the devils around would quickly come to support them. With the reaction speed of the devils, the Eighth Route Army simply didn't have enough time to attack Laiyuan Town.

Now it is different. Most of the strength of the Nakamura Squadron has been transferred, and there is only one squad of devils left, less than 50 people.With the number of these devils and puppet troops, it is still possible to defend Laiyuan Town, not to mention that there are several heavy machine guns and artillery towers in Laiyuan Town for defense. It is impossible to take down Yuanzhen in a short time.

In order to ensure the safety of Laiyuan Town, the devils did a little frenzied defense. Just outside, Liu Gen saw four heavy machine guns. It is not known whether there are heavy machine guns in Laiyuan Town.As for the mortars, Liu Gen didn't know if they existed in Laiyuan Town, but Zhang Dabiao had inspected Yuanzhen in advance to confirm that there were no mortars in Laiyuan Town.

According to Zhang Dabiao's investigation, due to the importance of Laiyuan Town, the Nakamura Squadron was equipped with two [-]-type infantry guns. The infantry artillery was taken away, which left Laiyuan Town without artillery for defense.

"It seems that Brother Zhang has figured out the situation in Laiyuan Town. I wonder when Brother Zhang is going to attack?" Looking at Zhang Dabiao, Liu Gen asked.

It was early in the morning, through the binoculars, Liu Gen could see that the devils were on alert, and even the puppet soldiers had reached their defensive positions.There is a certain risk in attacking the devil now. The devil's defense is so tight, and it may be difficult to forcefully take it down.

"The Devil's Nakamura Squadron may return at any time, so naturally the sooner the attack is the better!" Zhang Dabiao said solemnly.

Liu Gen nodded. He knew that Zhang Dabiao would make such a decision. Looking at the soldiers around him, he could see the firmness on their faces. The soldiers were also ready to attack Laiyuan Town!

"Then prepare to advance immediately! The soldiers of the artillery company will also be handed over to you to command, just leave a few soldiers for me to assist." Liu Gen said softly.

Zhang Dabiao didn't have any opinion. He didn't think the soldiers of the artillery company had much fighting power, but Zhang Dabiao knew that if he wanted to win Yuanzhen, it would be a hard fight!The devil is not a fool, but he will not stand there and let Liu Gen shoot him to death!Besides, once the devils withdrew into Laiyuan Town, Liu Gen, the artilleryman, would not have much room to play.

Watching Zhang Dabiao leading the soldiers down the mountain towards Laiyuan Town, Liu Gen also took a few soldiers pushing the [-]-type infantry artillery to find a suitable artillery position.Facing the devils from Laiyuan Town, Liu Gen needed an artillery position with a wide enough view to ensure that he could see every move of the devils, and then fired to clear the devils' defensive positions.

Looking at the devil's gun tower, Liu Gen frowned. The Type 500 infantry cannon in his hand couldn't do much against the devil's gun tower unless it was within 500 meters of the gun tower.But it's not at night now, and it's undoubtedly a dream to get close to the devil's gun tower within [-] meters, the devil is not a fool!
Liu Gen sighed softly, he knew that Zhang Dabiao could only rely on Zhang Dabiao to lead the soldiers to take down the devil's gun tower, and his artillery would not be of much use.

He found an earth slope less than 1000 meters away from Laiyuan Town. Standing on the earth slope, Liu Gen could see the situation of Laiyuan Town.

The high-explosive bombs brought by several soldiers were not many, less than twenty high-explosive bombs, and Li Yunlong got these high-explosive bombs from the brigade commander.After leaving two soldiers to assist him, Liu Gen asked these two soldiers to go to guard against any devils.As an artilleryman, Liu Gen didn't want devils to touch the artillery position when he was firing.

Looking towards the position of Zhang Dabiao and others, Liu Gen could see that Zhang Dabiao and his soldiers were approaching the devil's artillery building. If he wanted to take down Yuanzhen, he had to deal with the devil's artillery building.His eyes fell on the heavy machine gun position not far from the Devil's gun tower. Liu Gen calculated the corresponding shooting angle. He needed to solve this heavy machine gun position to relieve the pressure on Zhang Dabiao and others.

The explosive packs carried by several soldiers were taken off, Liu Gen looked helpless, if the power of the Type 1000 infantry artillery was strong enough, there would be no need for the soldiers to use explosive packs to attack the devil's gun tower.As for hitting the shooting hole of the devil's gun tower within [-] meters, Liu Gen didn't have that ability yet. He was sure that if the devil found his trace, they would definitely come to deal with him decisively.

Keeping a sufficient distance from the front line can ensure that Liu Gen's artillery can play a sufficient role and prevent Liu Gen from being in danger. Zhang Dabiao also knows this, so he didn't think about letting Liu Gen advance with the infantry artillery to the point where he was not in line with the Devil's artillery tower. to a range of 500 meters.

"Cannonball!" Seeing Zhang Dabiao and his soldiers getting ready for battle, Liu Gen said in a deep voice,
A high-explosive bomb was put into Liu Gen's hands, and Liu Gen directly pushed it into the barrel. Three seconds later, the high-explosive bomb landed on the devil's heavy machine gun position, directly killing several devils in the heavy machine gun position. It was also directly destroyed!
