I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 440 Going to Yan'an?
In late July, Liu Gen started a new round of enrollment for the Artillery School after finishing his work in the arsenal.

Due to the tight raids and blockades by the devils in the anti-Japanese base areas, Liu Gen could no longer go to each unit to select suitable students. He could only give each unit a standard, hoping that they could find some good candidates themselves.After learning that the Artillery School will recruit a new batch of students, all the troops hope to get more places, and finally the number of students in the new batch of artillery students has reached 300.

The number of students in the second period was three times that of the first period, but it was still within the acceptable range of the Artillery School. This was also because Liu Gen left Wang Chao and others to teach in the Artillery School.Otherwise, if Liu Gen was the only instructor in the Artillery School, no matter how capable Liu Gen was, he would still be overwhelmed.

When the students from various units successfully arrived at Huangya Cave, it was the beginning of August, but after these students successfully arrived at Huangya Cave, the state of these students was very embarrassing.Among them, the students from several units failed to arrive. After searching for relevant information, Liu Gen got a lot of news that those students who did not arrive had encountered devils.

Even though the students were extremely careful when heading to Huangya Cave, there were still some students who unfortunately encountered the devil's mopping up troops. Facing the devil's mopping up troops, the students were weak and weak, and they were no match for the devil's mopping up troops.None of the students who encountered the devils was able to escape successfully. They used up all the ammunition they carried and desperately fought back against the devils, but died unfortunately.

After knowing the casualties of the students, Liu Gen was a little silent, but he quickly recovered his emotions and started training the new batch of students.

Liu Gen didn't have much time to grieve for those students who died. He could only turn his grief into motivation and put more expectations on the students who successfully arrived.In the end, the new batch of students was scheduled to have 212 places, but in fact, only [-] students successfully arrived at Huangya Cave, and the rest of the students who did not arrive all died unfortunately.

On the new student list of the Artillery School, there are the names of those sacrificed students. They were originally members of the Artillery School, and Liu Gen will never forget them.

Setting up the artillery school in Huangyadong also has many advantages. Liu Gen can easily travel between the arsenal and the artillery cadets to give full play to his abilities.And the students can also have more access to artillery, so as to increase their knowledge of artillery and improve their related skills.

On this day, Liu Gen was patrolling the training ground. In order to facilitate the training of the students, a large training ground was opened in Huangya Cave.The training facilities may be a bit crude, but it can also help the students in their training.With the arsenal here, Liu Gen can have more ways to train the students.

After all, it is very simple to build something in the arsenal.

"Instructor Liu, the division has sent a telegram. I hope you can go back to the division." A telegrapher sent a telegram from the division. The message on it was very simple, and Liu Gen was asked to go back.

After receiving this telegram, Liu Gen was a little puzzled. As far as he knew, the division headquarters was also busy preserving the anti-Japanese forces during this period, commanding the troops to avoid the raids of the devils as much as possible.Now let yourself be the teacher, what's the situation?After Liu Gen found that he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. When he returned to the division headquarters, he could easily get the answer.

"Call back to the division headquarters, and I will set off immediately and return to the division headquarters." Liu Gen instructed the telegraph operator beside him.

The telegraph operator left quickly, and Liu Gen left Huangya Cave on horseback after explaining to Wang Chao and others the next training for the students.For safety's sake, Liu Gen brought two soldiers as guards. He didn't want to take them with him at first, but he couldn't bear the constant demands of Wang Chao and others.In Liu Gen's view, the distance between the division headquarters and Huangyadong is not too far, and it won't take too long for him to return to the division headquarters, so he should not encounter any danger.

Leaving Huangya Cave, Liu Gen quickly headed towards the division headquarters after confirming the direction.

On the way, Liu Gen and the two soldiers were very vigilant, as long as they heard any abnormal sounds, they would temporarily hide.If Liu Gen was alone, this might not be the case, but now that the two fighters are by his side, Liu Gen's strength will not cause problems easily, but these two fighters are different.

The two fighters have no objection to keeping vigilant, and they have also trained this in their usual training.

By the time Liu Gen and the others successfully returned to the division headquarters, it was already evening, just in time for the division headquarters' dinner.After safely returning to the division headquarters, Liu Gen also heaved a sigh of relief. On the way, even though the three of Liu Gen were extremely vigilant, they still encountered the enemy, but they encountered some puppet soldiers. After being beaten to death by the three of Liu Gen, those The puppet army also gave up the pursuit.

After having dinner in the division headquarters' cooking class, Liu Gen went to the division headquarters to find the division commander. Along the way, he could see that the division headquarters' defense was very tight, and there were many secret sentries.It's just that Liu Gen can also see that the division headquarters has not been attacked, so what's the matter with such a tight defense now?
"Liu Gen, acting principal of the Artillery School of the 129th Division, came to report!" Liu Gen shouted loudly outside the combat room.

In the war room, the division commander laughed. He knew that Liu Gen would make something happen if he asked Liu Gen to return to the division headquarters this time.No, Liu Gen expressed his dissatisfaction even before they met.

"come in!"

Liu Gen walked into the combat room and found that there were still many people busy here at night. The division commander stood in front of the map, which was very obvious.

"Teacher, what's the reason why you asked me to go back to the division headquarters?" Liu Gen came to the teacher and asked with a smile.

Outside the door, Liu Gen still dared to express his dissatisfaction, but now, in front of the teacher, he didn't have the courage.Even Li Yunlong didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the teacher, let alone Liu Gen, he had a good record, but he was not as generous as Li Yunlong after all.

"Go get yourself a cup of tea first. You have just returned to the division headquarters, so don't worry." The division commander patted Liu Gen on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Finding that the teacher didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, Liu Gen immediately relaxed. It seemed that there was nothing serious, otherwise the teacher wouldn't be so calm.Of course, even if something big happens, it doesn't have much to do with Liu Gen. With the teacher around, the really big thing doesn't need Liu Gen.

Finding a cup, Liu Gen poured himself a glass of water after rinsing it. Seeing some tea leaves on the teacher's table, Liu Gen carefully took a few tea leaves and threw them into the cup.Gently shake the cup, the tea leaves will swirl in the cup, sinking and floating.

The teacher saw Liu Gen's little action of taking tea leaves at random, and he felt a little helpless. These tea leaves were just a little bit he got from the bosses.The teacher picked up the tea leaves and threw them into the drawer decisively. He felt that the tea leaves would no longer be safe after being seen by Liu Gen.

"Teacher, what are you doing? Could it be that you are still worried that I will take your tea?" Liu Gen said helplessly watching the teacher put away the tea.

I just took a few pieces of tea leaves, how do you think the meaning of the teacher is to treat myself as a thief to guard against?It's just a little tea, why would Liu Gen care?Looking back from the drawer closed by the teacher, Liu Gen's memory is still good in the first drawer on the left side of the table.

"You are overthinking, kid. You are a talent in the eyes of the bosses. If you want, the bosses will definitely get you some tea. I managed to get this tea from Boss Peng's fingernails. , you kid, don’t want to get this little tea.” The teacher scolded with a smile.

Liu Gen did not return to the division headquarters many times, but every time he returned to the division headquarters, he had to take some things with him.At the beginning, the division commander didn't care. It was fine for Liu Gen to take things away from the division headquarters, as long as he could train more excellent artillerymen.

The students who graduated from the Artillery School in the first batch performed quite well after being assigned to various units.And after these artillerymen were assigned to each unit, they also took the initiative to teach the artillery soldiers of each unit and help them improve.

In just two months, the artillery level of each unit of the Eighth Route Army has improved a lot, and the improvement of artillery level naturally means that the combat effectiveness of each unit has improved.

After seeing how powerful these graduates from the Artillery School are, all units of the 129th Division hope to get more graduates from the Artillery School, so that the combat effectiveness of their respective units can be improved again.It can be said that those students who graduated from the Artillery School have directly become the favorites in the eyes of various troops.

"Master, you think too badly of me."

"Look at the time when I took away something from the division headquarters not for the students under me, but for the development of the arsenal. If you think I will take your tea, you have wronged me." Liu Gen said helplessly.

Liu Gen felt that his reputation in the division was not bad, and his comrades were very enthusiastic about him. Even if he took some things away from the division, he did not have any bad influence on other people in the division.But now, why is the teacher so guarded against him?Liu Gen felt really wronged!
"Ahem, Genzi, let's not worry about the tea leaves. I asked you to go back to the teacher's headquarters today. There is indeed something that needs to be done by you."

"This matter is quite important. It is a matter in Yan'an. You need to go to Yan'an. If you hurry up, it may take less than half a month. You haven't been to Yan'an to see it. It's not easy to do it now. You should cherish this opportunity, kid." The teacher looked at Liu Gen with expectation in his eyes.

There was obvious surprise on Liu Gen's face, it turned out to be something about Yan'an?What is it?Liu Gen couldn't figure it out, he didn't know what was waiting for him.
