I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 233 Blocking Position
Thirty miles north of Liao County, Li Yunlong successfully joined the 772nd regiment with soldiers from the independent regiment.

At this time, the soldiers of the 772nd regiment were busy laying mines and making traps. In order to delay as much as possible the footsteps of the devils who went southward for reinforcements, the soldiers of the 772nd regiment arranged a large number of mines and traps on the road going south.

During this period of time, the independent regiment experienced a lot of battles, as did the 772 regiment.It can be seen that there are less than 772 soldiers from the 500 regiment who came to stop the reinforcements of the devils, and some of them were wounded.The independent regiment attacked Liao County, where the devils lived, and the 772 regiment was not idle. Leader Cheng led the 772 regiment to kill several strongholds of the devils.

If it weren't for the order from the division headquarters, Captain Cheng might have continued to lead the 772 regiment to attack the devil's stronghold. There was no way, and the landlord's family had no food left. The ammunition of the 772 regiment is running out after frequent fighting during this period, and it can be supplemented to some extent when attacking the devil's stronghold.

After all, compared with the Eighth Route Army, the devils are equipped with more bullets, and each devil has at least 120 rounds of ammunition. When frequent battles are to be carried out, the number of bullets carried is more.In the eyes of Tuan Zhang and Li Yunlong, the devils are living ammunition carriers, and they have been delivered to their mouths. It is naturally impossible not to eat them.

"Cheng Xiazi, you first take the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment to set up mines and traps. The soldiers of our independent regiment have just attacked the devil's Liao County, so we need to take a break." Seeing Captain Cheng, Li Yunlong said directly.

Head Cheng nodded. He could see the state of the soldiers of the independent regiment. Given the situation of the soldiers of the independent regiment, it would be impossible for them to directly engage in things like laying mines and making traps.Even if the soldiers are forcibly ordered to do so, the fighters of these independent regiments will not be very efficient.

What's more, head Cheng also knew how difficult it would be to fight the devil's county. From the number of soldiers Li Yunlong brought, he knew that the independent regiment also suffered a lot of casualties in order to take down Liao County.

"Leave this kind of thing to our 772 regiment. Your independent regiment will take a break first." Cheng said directly.

Li Yunlong took the soldiers of the independent regiment to rest. With the 772 regiment here, there is no need to worry about safety.Li Yunlong was very relieved of the 772 regiment led by Cheng Xiazi. He could see that Cheng Xiazi had done everything he could do just by taking a look at it.

Cheng Xiazi did a good job in laying mines, making traps, and building blocking positions.It was also because there were no bridges in this area, otherwise Cheng Xiazi would have blown up the bridges directly to stop the reinforcements from the devils.

"Genzi, take the artillery company to rest for a while, I'm afraid the devil's reinforcements will arrive soon." Li Yunlong confessed to Liu Gen.

Liu Gen nodded. He knew that the devils were coming from Heshun. Heshun was less than forty kilometers away from Liao County. With the speed of the devils' march, there was not much time left for the Independence Regiment and the 772 Regiment.It's just that the fighters of the independent regiment have just experienced battles, and without a certain rest, problems are prone to occur.

"Regimental Commander, I'll first observe the surrounding terrain, find a suitable artillery position, and then choose to rest." Liu Gen said.

Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen, and after careful observation, he could see that Liu Gen was not so tired.

"Okay, then you kid, go, take the monk with you, and pay attention to safety." Li Yunlong confessed.

Liu Gen shook his head, "Regimental Commander, the monk led the soldiers to charge. I should be a little tired. I'll just walk around here by myself. With the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment here, I'm sure there won't be any danger."

Li Yunlong looked around, trying to find the figure of the monk, but finally he could only nod when he saw the monk lying on the ground and falling asleep.

As the head of the regiment, Li Yunlong could not lead the soldiers to charge, and Zhang Dabiao's injury had not recovered, so he could only let the monk lead the soldiers to charge.It has to be said that the monk is a born fierce general, every time he charges, he rushes to the front, and he is also the one who kills the most devils.

"Okay, then you kid, be careful, and come back directly if you are in danger." Li Yunlong nodded and said.

Liu Gen left Li Yunlong's figure and looked around for a place suitable for the artillery company's position. The artillery company did not have many shells. In the next battle, the artillery company needs to use every shell to its due effect. waste.

A good enough artillery position can help the artillery company to better bombard the enemy, and in addition to avoid being discovered by the devil's artillery.Constantly looking for a suitable artillery position, Liu Gen wandered around the rear of the 772 regiment, and he could see the soldiers of the 772 regiment carefully preparing to defend the position.

The choice of using positional warfare to block the reinforcements of the devils is also because there is no suitable terrain in this area to carry out harassment operations against the devils. There are mountains on both sides of the road from Heshun to Liao County, but they are too far away from the road. It's hard to influence the devils.

Therefore, if you want to stop the reinforcements of the devils, you can only choose to fight the devils!
Half an hour later, Liu Gen found several suitable places as artillery positions. Considering the issue of retreat, the places he found were relatively hidden, and it was not easy for devils to find them when retreating.

As for whether the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment can directly kill the reinforcements of the Devils, Liu Gen did not have much hope. With the strength of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, the combined strength is less than 800 people, and the Devils let go from the Heshun direction. The reinforcements were a battalion of infantry nearly as strong as two regiments.

Coupled with the fact that the soldiers had just experienced battle, they were not very energetic, and the artillery didn't even have enough shells left. It was undoubtedly impossible to kill the infantry brigade that the devils came to reinforce.Liu Gen could also see that the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment had dug several trenches when they were digging trenches, and the regiment leader Cheng didn't think he could directly kill the infantry brigade reinforced by the devils.

There is no way, who made the independent regiment and the 772 regiment experience too many battles, so many battles, the combat effectiveness of the two regiments has dropped a lot.The troops are not enough, and the equipment is not as good as the devils. How can they be the opponents of the devils in battle?

Back to the place where the soldiers of the independent regiment were resting, Liu Gen could see that the soldiers had fallen asleep. The attack on Liao County tonight consumed too much energy of the soldiers.But when looking at the soldiers, Liu Gen found that there was no figure of Li Yunlong here.

Noticing this, Liu Gen quickly walked around, where did Li Yunlong go?Why not rest here?Quickly searching around, Liu Gen soon found Li Yunlong's figure, but under the moonlight, Li Yunlong's figure seemed a little lonely.
