I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 500 The Bird of Fright
"Doctor, is there any news from ahead? Did we win?" Liu Gen asked the doctor beside him.

The doctor shook his head. He hadn't received any news yet, and besides, the wounded were constantly being brought in, so he didn't have much energy to pay attention to the battle situation on the front line.Even if the frontline independent regiment was defeated and unable to withstand the attack of the Devils, the doctor would not give up the treatment of the wounded. He knew that these wounded needed him.The wounded with relatively light injuries are fine, but the treatment of the wounded with relatively serious injuries cannot be delayed for half a minute, otherwise it will easily lead to casualties and deaths.

"Lieutenant Commander Liu, don't worry, with Commander Li around, we won't lose the battle so easily." After comforting Liu Gen, the doctor once again concentrated on treating the wounded.

Seeing that the doctor was treating other wounded, Liu Gen did not choose to continue disturbing. He did not want to affect the treatment of the wounded because of himself.

Looking towards the two monks not far away, Liu Gen could see that the monks had their eyes closed, and their faces were obviously pale. Their injuries had not improved, and their condition was not good.Liu Gen tried to move, but he could still feel the obvious pain from the wound on his body.He didn't care about the pain, which was within the range he could bear.When Liu Gen got up to do it, the wound on his body was torn open, and traces of blood appeared on his clothes.

"Liu Lianchang, why are you up? With your injury, you need to recuperate well, and your wound hasn't healed yet." Seeing Liu Gen sitting up, the doctor said hastily.

Liu Gen shook his head indifferently, and said, "Don't worry, I'm very clear about my situation, and it's within the range I can bear, and there won't be any problems."

Under the watchful eyes of the doctor, Liu Gen got up slowly. He could see that Liu Gen was still very difficult to get up, and his body was trembling slightly.But even so, Liu Gen managed to stand up, and it took him nearly 2 minutes to stand up.The doctor looked at all this and didn't say anything to stop him. He knew that he couldn't stop Liu Gen at all, and it was even more impossible for Liu Gen to obey his orders and choose to give up.

Without asking Liu Gen, the doctor could guess what Liu Gen was thinking. As a soldier, Liu Gen didn't want to just lie here and wait for the result of the battle.For Liu Gen, as long as he is still alive, as long as he still has the ability to act, then he will definitely participate in the battle.

"I will trouble you here, I will go to the front line to see." Liu Gen's voice was a little weak, and he chose to leave without waiting for the doctor to answer.

Seeing this, the doctor can only hope that Liu Gen's health will not have too many problems, and that the soldiers on the front line will successfully win the victory, so that Liu Gen will not encounter any danger on the front line. Otherwise, with Liu Gen's physical condition , if he meets a devil, then he will definitely not be the opponent of the devil.

Seeing Liu Gen leaving, many of the wounded wanted to get up and go back to the front line like Liu Gen, but when they tried to move, they could feel severe pain, and soon they found that they could not do anything. Like Liu Gen, the wounded were somewhat puzzled why Liu Gen, who was clearly and seriously injured, could get up on his own, but they couldn't.

Thinking of the severe pain from the wound when they got up, the wounded had a little more admiration for Liu Gen. They admired Liu Gen for being able to calmly endure such severe pain. Compared with Liu Gen, they were far behind.

At this time, Liu Gen was slowly walking towards the independent regiment's defensive position on Shizi Ridge, holding a pistol tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time.Liu Gen kept observing the surroundings, but his physical condition was too weak, which made him unable to observe the movements around him.

Continuously walking towards the direction where the independent regiment's defensive position is located, Liu Gen's speed is not fast, and with his body, he can't walk too fast.Liu Gen could only hope that when he arrived, the battle between the Independence Regiment and the devils had not yet ended, so that he could also contribute.Of course, if possible, Liu Gen also hoped that the independent regiment would successfully win the battle against the devils, and he wouldn't mind if he didn't have a chance to make a move.

It's just that Liu Gen doesn't think this kind of thing will happen. It's not that he doesn't have confidence in the Independence Regiment, but that he knows the devil's combat effectiveness very well. The offense will also be very difficult.

Ten minutes later, Liu Gen successfully arrived at the independent regiment's defensive position. He could see that the battle on the position had ended. Except for some soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, the other soldiers were hurrying to rest.This made Liu Gen realize that the soldiers repelled the devil's attack again. Looking towards the position, he could see a lot of craters on the position, which were caused by the devil's shells falling on the position.

At the same time, Liu Gen could also see the corpses of many devils on the ground. Presumably, the devils successfully rushed to the defensive position of the independent regiment and were successfully repelled by the soldiers.

Knowing that the Independent Regiment repelled the devil's attack again, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the troops of the 129th Division were returning to Liao County, but it would take time to return. Wait until the reinforcements arrive.This also means that in the process of defending the position, the independent regiment not only needs to resist the continuous attacks of the devils, but also needs to ensure that it will not suffer too many casualties, which will affect the subsequent defense.

This kind of defensive task is placed in the various units of the Eighth Route Army. There are not many units that can do this. Even the independent regiment will have some difficulties when carrying out such a defensive task.After all, under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the Independent Regiment is the Wild Wolf Regiment. Where has it ever been heard that the wild wolves will defend?The wild wolf is not attacking, or on the way to attack, and the same is true for the independent regiment.

When he came to the battlefield, Liu Gen could see the soldiers lying on the ground casually. They were exhausted and had no energy to find a suitable place to sleep. As long as they could lie down, they could sleep anywhere.

Liu Gen didn't open his mouth to disturb the resting soldiers. He kept walking along the position, wanting to find the figures of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, wanting to know the specific situation of the independent regiment, and whether he could continue to persevere in Shiziling .The Devils were repelled this time, and it will take some time before they can attack again. Liu Gen wanted to learn enough information from Li Yunlong and the others to confirm whether the independent regiment would have the ability to continue to defend.

Soon, Liu Gen found Zhao Gang. He could see that Zhao Gang was busy cleaning the battlefield. From time to time, he would carefully observe the direction of the devil's troops to prevent the devil from approaching quietly.

"Commissioner Zhao, can the independent regiment survive?" Liu Gen came to Zhao Gang's side and asked suddenly.

Zhao Gang was slightly taken aback, he didn't notice Liu Gen's arrival, when he raised his head and saw it was Liu Gen, a hint of joy appeared on his face.Feeling depressed due to the casualties during the battle, he also became a little excited. Zhao Gang was a little happy to see Liu Gen appearing in front of him, which meant that Liu Gen was still alive.Before visiting Liu Gen, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong only saw Liu Gen in a coma, and they couldn't talk to Liu Gen.

Now that he could see Liu Gen standing in front of him alive, Zhao Gang was naturally very happy. He really didn't want Liu Gen to have any problems.

"When did our independent regiment say no? Don't worry, these devils don't have many ways to attack. In addition, the devils' full-scale attack was successfully repelled by our independent regiment last time. The devils will definitely not attack easily again. I just don't know. Will these devils call for more troops to support, if so, our next defense will be somewhat difficult."

"But don't worry, even if all of our independent regiment die here, we will not take a step back. We will definitely hold back the devil's troops and delay the arrival of more troops." Zhao Gang said firmly.

Perhaps because of the baptism of the war, Zhao Gang's bookishness has become less, and he has a little more iron and blood, and his personality has also changed a lot.

Liu Gen looked at Zhao Gang in front of him, and he knew that Zhao Gang would be in such a difficult situation. Neither Li Yunlong nor Zhao Gang would choose to leave easily, even though they knew that staying on Shizi Ridge would be life-threatening.Liu Gen had some admiration for Zhao Gang. He knew Zhao Gang's situation, so he naturally understood that Zhao Gang had many choices, but he finally chose to join the Eighth Route Army and chose to fight against Japanese devils.

"Commissioner Zhao, do you know if there is anything I can do to help?" Liu Gen asked again.

Zhao Gang laughed, and he shook his head directly to refuse, "Genzi, your injury is far from healed, you should take good care of it. There are still many opportunities to kill devils, don't worry, your task is to take good care of your wounds, the next battle , me and Lao Li will do.”

"My body, I know very well, there is nothing wrong with it." Liu Gen shook his head and said.

No matter what Liu Gen said, Zhao Gang didn't have the slightest intention to let go. No matter what, he would not let Liu Gen help. Given Liu Gen's physical condition, even if Li Yunlong didn't say anything, he would be very happy. ashamed.It's not that there are no other people in the independent regiment. Why is Liu Gen, a wounded man, needed to do this?Seeing that Liu Gen did not want to go back, Zhao Gang directly ordered the soldiers to forcefully send Liu Gen back to recuperate. The battle is not over yet, and it is too dangerous for Liu Gen to stay on the front line.

Afterwards, the devils launched several attacks on Shiziling. The frequency of the devils' attacks was very fast, which made it very hard for the defending independent regiment soldiers.By nightfall, the devils had launched more than a dozen attacks on Shizi Ridge. Such a large number of attacks was enough to show that these devils were determined to take Shizi Ridge down.

In order to cope with the continuous attacks of the devils, the soldiers of the independent regiment worked very hard. It was difficult for them to get rest time for those who did not have enough rest.

In such a battle, Li Yunlong and Tada Wanli knew very well that this offensive and defensive battle had become a contest of fighting wills between the two sides, and whichever side could not persevere meant that that side had failed.

In the middle of the night, the devils stopped attacking, not because Tada Wanli didn't want to continue the attack on Shiziling, but because his devil soldiers had no idea of ​​continuing to attack.A dozen times of attacks failed to capture Shizi Ridge. Even if they could reach the position defended by the Independent Regiment, the devils would be repelled by the independent regiment fighters as quickly as possible. This would seriously damage the morale of the devils. of.

If it weren't for the supervision team behind these devil soldiers, once the devils choose to retreat after issuing an attack order, the supervision team behind them will shoot and kill them directly, so I am afraid that the devil soldiers would have chosen to give up the fight long ago.For these ghost soldiers, the battle to attack Shiziling was the cruelest battle they had ever experienced. Every time they charged, there would be certain casualties. Knowing that Shiziling defended by the Eighth Route Army could not be easily captured, they still needed to continue to attack. It is difficult for these ghost soldiers to continue.

After these devil soldiers chose to give up fighting, the commander Tada Wanli continued to speak, and the devil soldiers did not respond at all. Their physical and mental conditions could not continue to support them to fight.At this moment, the devil soldiers just want to lie down, take a good rest for a while, and continue to attack. The devil soldiers feel that they may not die under the guns of the soldiers of the independent regiment, but will be exhausted to death.

In the end, Tada Wanli could only choose to compromise and could not continue to attack. What could he do?You can't kill all the ghost soldiers, can you?

At three o'clock in the morning, under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the independent regiment launched an attack on the devils. The devil soldiers who were extremely exhausted were unable to organize an effective resistance, and the devil soldiers suffered a lot of casualties.Taking advantage of the time when they took the initiative to attack the rabbit, the soldiers of the independent regiment also successfully burned down many devils' camps and blew up some of the devil's weapons and ammunition, which relieved a lot of pressure for the independent regiment to defend Shiziling.

After being attacked by the independent regiment at night, the devil soldiers could no longer rest peacefully, and the charge horn sounded from time to time in the independent regiment made the devils frightened.When the devil soldiers did not rest well, the independent regiment was much easier to deal with the devil's next attack. I don't know why these devils have not been supplemented by other reinforcements, and the independent regiment's defensive pressure is not so great.

One day later, these devils chose to retreat. Some Eighth Route Army troops returned to Liao County and were rushing towards Shiziling at full speed. The devils did not dare to take risks and could only choose to retreat.

After the Independence Regiment knew that the Devils had retreated, they had no intention of chasing after them. The defense of Shizi Ridge exhausted the soldiers of the Independence Regiment. too tired.But after the soldiers rested, there were more than a dozen soldiers who fell asleep forever, never waking up.

On June [-]th, the support troops successfully arrived at Shiziling, the devil troops withdrew from the Shiziling area, and all the troops returned to the Liao County base area to restore order in the base area.
