I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 273 Devil's Ambition

The devil's attack was very ferocious. Facing the devil's attack, the troops of the 386 brigade could only grit their teeth and block it step by step, sending small groups of troops to continuously harass and harass the devil.

Liu Gen didn't pay attention to the battle on the front line. He knew that the fighting power of the various regiments of the 386th Brigade was enough to delay the progress of the devils.The most important thing now is to find a suitable artillery position. Only in this way can the artillery team's combat effectiveness be fully utilized when attacking the devils.Being beaten all the time is not in the character of the 386th Brigade. Liu Gen believes that the brigade commander will gather the strength of all the troops of the 386th Brigade and deal ruthless blows to the devils.

Coupled with the first decisive column that is coming soon, and the county brigade and district squads that are constantly coming in this direction, if they really want to take the initiative to attack the devils, as long as they find the right opportunity, they may not be able to make the devils suffer a big loss !
After finding a few suitable artillery positions, Liu Gen took the artillery soldiers into action. These places are good, but the artillery team still needs to make some modifications to them before they can become suitable artillery positions.At least a qualified artillery position needs to be able to quickly transfer the artillery team.As in the Independent Regiment, Liu Gen divided the artillery team into two units. The mountain artillery has a longer range and can be deployed in the rear, so that it can be easier to transfer.Mortars and infantry guns were placed close to the front line by Liu Gen to ensure that they could support the front line at any time.

In order to prevent the artillery positions from being discovered by the devils, Liu Gen also led the soldiers to cut down a lot of branches, which played a certain role in hiding the artillery positions.At the same time, Liu Gen was also constantly observing the devils who were constantly attacking. From the mouths of other soldiers, Liu Gen also roughly knew where the devils' artillery was.It can only be seen that the devil's artillery is very cunning, they did not shoot with all their strength, only a part of the artillery shot.

In several battles, the devil artillery was killed by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, which made the devil more vigilant, and they did not want to repeat the same mistakes.

After knowing this, Liu Gen realized that the battle with the devil might not be so easy. The devil's artillery was hiding its strength to ensure that it could launch a counterattack as soon as possible after being attacked.As for the artillery exposed by the devil, if you want to kill it directly, you need more than five mortars to fire. If there are too few, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the devil's artillery.

After realizing this, Liu Gen took the artillery soldiers into action again. They dug cat ear holes in the artillery positions to ensure that the soldiers could have a hiding place during the artillery battle with the devils.It's just that Liu Gen and others couldn't find steel to support the cat's ear hole, so they could only use simple wooden boards, which meant that the cat's ear hole was in danger of collapsing after being bombarded by devils.

But even so, Liu Gen can only choose to do this, which can at least give the soldiers a place to hide. As long as they are not directly hit by the devil's shells, the chances of the soldiers hiding in the cat's ear hole surviving are still very high of.

Under Liu Gen's order, the mountain artillery position at the rear also dug out the cat's ear holes, and they were ready for an artillery battle with the devils.When digging the cat's ear hole, the soldiers of the artillery team were extremely serious, and they dared not be negligent in the slightest.As artillerymen, soldiers know the danger of artillery battle with devils, and cat ear piercing is related to whether they can survive the artillery battle.

As for whether to give up the idea of ​​​​having an artillery battle with the devils, the soldiers of the artillery team have never thought about it. After training for so long, the soldiers of the artillery team also want to prove themselves and prove that the artillery team has enough combat effectiveness, even in the face of the devils. Artillery, the artillery team also has the power to fight!Of course, it still depends on the decision of the brigade commander whether to engage in an artillery battle with the devils.

After setting up the artillery positions, Liu Gen led the soldiers to study where the Devils' artillery might hide. He needed the soldiers to make certain preparations in advance.Liu Gen didn't express his speculation directly, he only expressed his speculation after the soldiers discussed it.The soldiers did a good job. They guessed several locations that were the same as Liu Gen, but there was one location that they hadn't thought of.

"Captain, it's impossible for the devil to hide there, right? The last place you mentioned is less than 500 meters away from the front line. Isn't it too risky for the devil's artillery to be in this position?" Yungui looked at Liu Gen, somewhat displeased Xie opened his mouth and asked.

Liu Gen looked at the other soldiers of the artillery team, and could see obvious doubts in the eyes of the other soldiers. They did not believe that the Devil Artillery would be in that position.With the combat power of the Devil Artillery, there is no need to take risks at all. Once the Devil Artillery is in that position, as long as the units of the 386 Brigade take the initiative to attack and advance 500 meters, then the Devil Artillery can be seen. This risk is too great.
"Do you all think so?" Looking at the soldiers of the artillery team, Liu Gen asked.

The soldiers of the artillery team looked at you, looked at me, and they all fell silent. This was almost their common thought. The devil's artillery is not a fool, so why did they arrange the artillery positions in that position?

Among the soldiers, Zhang Jun raised his head and was silent for a moment. He took a step and said loudly, "I think what you said, Captain, is quite right. The odds will be there."

"What do you know?"

"That's right, Zhang Jun, don't talk nonsense."

"..."

Seeing Zhang Jun speak, the other soldiers of the artillery team couldn't help but speak. From their point of view, Zhang Jun's words were entirely based on wanting to curry favor with Liu Gen, the captain.For Zhang Jun, the soldiers of the Artillery Team did not have much affection. Even if Zhang Jun has changed to some extent during this period, it will undoubtedly take longer for the soldiers to accept Zhang Jun again.

"Quiet! Is this how you treat your teammates? Isn't Zhang Jun a member of our artillery team?" Liu Gen's cold gaze swept over the soldiers, causing the soldiers to freeze and dare not say anything.

Liu Gen turned his head to look at Zhang Jun, and said, "Zhang Jun, tell me your opinion on why the Devil Artillery is in that position."

The soldiers looked at Zhang Jun again, and being reprimanded by Liu Gen, they naturally didn't dare to say anything.The soldiers looked at Zhang Jun, and they wanted to see what Zhang Jun could say, but a small number of them lowered their heads and began to wonder why the devils set up the artillery position in that position.If Liu Gen's speculation is successful and the Devil Artillery is really in that position, then it can only show that this position can bring more advantages to the Devil and allow the Devil Artillery to regain its combat effectiveness.

"Captain, I didn't expect this position at first, but I realized it after you pointed it out."

"Let's see, the position pointed out by the captain is only about 500 meters away from the front line, and the terrain here is suitable for hiding the Devil Artillery positions. And most importantly, once the Devil Artillery positions are set up at this position, the artillery fire of the Devil Artillery It can cover the surrounding area, and it can easily hit the shells to the rear of our Eighth Route Army, cutting off our retreat."

"The devils have great ambitions. Not only do they want to advance towards the base, but they also want to keep our 386 brigade here!"
