I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 329

In order to ensure the victory of this battle, the brigade commander brought not only the soldiers of the infantry battalion, but also [-] soldiers of the artillery team.The injuries of these soldiers were not serious. As artillerymen, they didn't have to go to the front to fight the devils, so naturally it wouldn't affect their performance.

Although he hasn't gone to Panlong Town yet, the brigade commander is sure that the devil's Okazaki brigade is not easy to deal with. As long as the Okazaki brigade has the slightest awareness, it will inevitably occupy a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack according to the local terrain.Coupled with the devils sweeping around, once the 129th division launched a siege to the Okazaki brigade, the surrounding devil troops would inevitably come to support quickly.

There are quite a few devils around Panlong Town, what's more, with the speed of the devils' march, once the troops of the 129th Division cannot complete the encirclement and suppression of the Okazaki Brigade in a short time.Then the devils with a radius of three hundred miles, or even five hundred miles, will come in the shortest possible time.

The marching speed of the devil troops is very fast, it can reach 129 kilometers a day, and the mechanized troops can reach hundreds of kilometers!This also means that unless the [-]th Division can end the battle in a short period of time, it will be very difficult to kill the Okazaki Brigade when the devil's reinforcements arrive.

It was with this in mind that the brigade commander chose to lead the soldiers of the artillery team. After Liu Gen's teaching, the skills of the soldiers of the artillery team have improved.Coupled with the mountain cannon that the brigade commander is going to bring, he will definitely be able to help kill the devils!With the mountain cannon, the brigade commander also made preparations that he would not be able to bring it back, but as long as he can kill the Okazaki brigade of the devils, then this loss is worth it.

The devil has a lot of mountain cannons in his hands. Even if the mountain cannons brought by the brigade commander can't be brought back this time, as long as the brigade commander wants to, he can still get the mountain cannons from the devil. The 386th Brigade is a unit relatively close to Panlong Town. The other units of the 129th Division rushed over, and they must not be able to carry heavy weapons like mountain cannons!Without mountain cannons, it would be difficult to kill the Okazaki brigade of the devils.

According to the news obtained by the brigade commander, the Devil's Okazaki Brigade has a mountain artillery squadron. Even if this mountain artillery squadron lacks a small squad, it is not complete, but there are still three mountain artillery in the hands of the Okazaki Brigade.It is difficult for ordinary mortars to deal with the mountain artillery in the hands of the Okazaki Brigade. The firepower and range of the mountain artillery are enough to ensure that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army cannot approach at all.

Under the premise of being unable to get close, with the capabilities of most of the artillery in the Eighth Route Army, it was impossible to hit the devil's mountain cannon at all.

The brigade commander was a little lucky. He was very lucky that he didn't forget to bring the mountain cannon hidden by Liu Gen when he was making the transfer.Originally, the brigade commander didn't plan to take it with him, but considering that the previous camp had been exposed, he had received the attention of the devils.If you don't take the mountain cannon away, once the devil searches that area seriously, it is still possible to find the mountain cannon hidden by Liu Gen.

Walking out of the ward, the brigade commander was relieved a lot. Having seen Liu Gen's condition, he knew that his injury had improved, which made the brigade commander a lot less worried about Liu Gen.The brigade commander was still worried about Liu Gen's sacrifice. After taking over the artillery team, Liu Gen did a good job, which made the brigade commander very satisfied.In addition, under the leadership of Liu Gen, the artillery team's combat effectiveness has been significantly improved. In the eyes of the brigade commander, Liu Gen is a treasure, so naturally nothing can go wrong.

After ordering the staff of the medical department to take good care of Liu Gen, the brigade commander set off with the infantry battalion and artillery team. The new station of the 386 brigade is not far from Panlong Town. arrived.If all the members rode horses and went to Panlong Town with light clothes, it would only take an hour to arrive successfully.

At noon, the brigade commander and his soldiers successfully arrived at Shimen Village, Panlong Town. The division decided to set up a front-line headquarters here. Since it would take some time for the division chiefs to arrive, the brigade commander could only do a good job first. Prepare accordingly.From the soldiers who have been staring at the devil Okazaki brigade, the brigade commander knows the situation of the Okazaki brigade.

Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the various units of the 129th Division, the Okazaki Brigade seemed to have noticed, perhaps because they knew that they could not escape the encirclement of the 129th Division with their strength. As the bosses expected, the Devil Okazaki Brigade headed towards the Guanjianao area Go, want to occupy Guanjianao, hold on and wait for help!
Guanjianao is located in the hinterland of the Taihang Anti-Japanese Base Area, 13 kilometers north of Zhuanbi Village, Panlong Town, Wuxiang County. The area has undulating mountains and ravines!And Guanjianao is a high hill surrounded by mountains. The top of the hill is a calm area with a radius of several hundred meters, which is suitable for sending troops.On the back of Guanjianao is a steep cliff, and it is impossible to climb up without special training.Below Guanjianao is a deep ditch with steep slopes on the east and west sides, but only the south slope is relatively gentle, which is suitable as an offensive route.

The devil's Okazaki brigade took a fancy to the terrain of Guanjianao, so they decisively chose to march towards Guanjianao, occupy Guanjianao, and wait for reinforcements.The villagers who used to live in Guanjianao all lived on the south slope of Guanjianao, and they lived in cave dwellings with holes connected to each other.However, there is only one path leading to Guanjianao. The Okazaki Brigade of the Devils did not let go of this path. They planted landmines on the path, and at the same time took control of Liushunao opposite Guanjianao, thereby ensuring that the path leading to Guanjianao was controlled. fire control.

At the frontline headquarters, the brigade commander's face was full of solemnity. Knowing that the devil had gone to the Guanjianao area, he had no good idea. The units of the 129th Division are encircling, and the devil's Okazaki brigade cannot escape.It’s just as if the brigade commander has troops that can be used, then he will definitely prevent the devils from occupying the Guanjianao area. Given the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Guanjianao, if the devils occupy this place, then the troops of the 129th Division may complete the encirclement and suppression. It will be much more difficult.

All the units of the 386th Brigade were on their way to Panlong Town. The 772nd Regiment, which had previously fought against the Okazaki Brigade, followed closely behind the Okazaki Brigade, which made the Okazaki Brigade very annoying.If the 772 Regiment is fully staffed, Captain Cheng may directly order the soldiers of the 772 Regiment to attack the Okazaki Brigade, but unfortunately the 772 Regiment is not fully staffed. With the current strength of the 772 Regiment, it can entangle The Okazaki Brigade is already quite good. It is undoubtedly impossible to defeat the Okazaki Brigade with only the 772nd Regiment, or even wipe out the entire Okazaki Brigade.

The brigade commander is well aware of the situation of the 772 regiment, and the task he assigned to commander Cheng is very simple, that is to observe and record the movements of the devil Okazaki brigade, in preparation for the next encirclement and suppression of the Okazaki brigade.It is not easy for the Okazaki Brigade to kill the devils. The combat effectiveness of the Okazaki Brigade is not weak, and it has been chased by various units of the Eighth Route Army and still maintains a complete organization, which is enough to show its not weak combat effectiveness.

The 772nd Regiment, which followed closely behind the Okazaki Brigade, kept a safe enough distance from the Devil Okazaki Brigade under the command of Captain Cheng. The combat effectiveness of the Okazaki Brigade was not weak. Then the 772 regiment will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties.Commander Cheng knew that all the units of the 772th Division were heading towards this area. He was not an idiot for the sake of the Okazaki Brigade to encircle and suppress the devils.
