I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 563 Quick Transfer

2000 meters away from the county seat of Shixian County, the soldiers of the cavalry detachment of the 120th Division had long been waiting for Liu Gen and others.

After helping Liu Gen and the others get all the mortars on their horses, the cavalry detachment and Liu Gen and others set off directly. The existence of the cavalry brigade is the key to the successful completion of this battle plan.Only the cavalry detachment can allow Liu Gen and the soldiers of the artillery battalion to quickly transfer the combat location with mortars.

"Captain Yao, it's up to you this time. We need to reach Wubao County as quickly as possible. It's best not to encounter devil troops on the way to avoid delays. There is not much time left for us." Liu Gen said to Captain Yao beside him said seriously.

Captain Yao nodded and said confidently: "Comrade Liu Gen, don't worry, before we set off, more than 30 soldiers have already set off ahead of time to conduct investigations in front of us."

"Once we find the traces of the devils, we will immediately change the route, and the appearance of the devils will not affect our speed."

Seeing Captain Yao's arrangements so well, Liu Gen was relieved. He and the soldiers from the Artillery Battalion were the main attacking force to take down Devil County.There is not much time left for the 120th Division. According to the combat plan formulated by Master He and others, the combat time of the 120th Division is only one night.

Before dawn tomorrow, all combat operations must be ended. Only in this way can the casualties that the devils may cause to the 120th Division be reduced.

There is not much time in one night. According to Liu Gen's estimation, he can only travel to three county towns at most. This is also based on the fact that Liu Gen's combat time in each county town cannot exceed half an hour, otherwise the battle plan will be affected to some extent. Impact.

Of course, before Liu Gen arrived, the troops attacking the devil's counties would also make another attempt. If they could directly take down the county occupied by the devil, then Liu Gen would not have to run away.According to the plan formulated, the battle will be carried out half an hour after the devil's troops from various counties go to support.

During this night, the 120th Division had a main force of nearly 4000 people, plus the county brigade and district team that cooperated in the battle, there were tens of thousands of people participating in the battle.At the same time, the area where the 129th Division and the 115th Division are located is also ready to fight the devils at any time.

An hour later, Liu Gen and others appeared on the outskirts of Wubao County, which is not far from Lishi County, less than [-] kilometers away.

After the cavalry detachment took down the mortars to Liu Gen and others, they withdrew directly to the periphery, firstly to let the horses rest for a while, and secondly to guard.Once the devil troops are found on the periphery, the cavalry detachment needs to be thrown directly into the battle.Prevent Liu Gen and the others from being attacked.

As soon as he arrived at the outskirts of Wubao County, Liu Gen heard shouts of killing not far away, as well as the sound of shells exploding.From the sound of shells exploding, Liu Gen frowned slightly. The devils guarding Wubao County still had artillery in their hands.

The Eighth Route Army unit in charge of attacking Wubao County is the 120th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 714th Division. The 714th Regiment is also the main combat force of the 2nd Brigade. In order to successfully take down the county occupied by the devils, the 120th Division also spent a lot of money to attack the ghost county. Almost all of the troops are the main force, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

Shells from the devils kept hitting the 714 regiment, and the sound of explosions continued to roar.Fortunately, Wubao County was not the focus of the devils' defense, and the devils defending the county did not have too many artillery pieces, and the casualties of the Eighth Route Army soldiers responsible for the attack were not too high.

"I'm Liu Gen, who is in charge of the artillery battalion of the division, take me to see your regiment commander!" Liu Gen led the soldiers of the artillery battalion forward quickly, and when he met the soldiers of the 714th regiment who were in charge of security at the rear, he directly let them A soldier took them to head Zhang of the 714 regiment.

The soldiers had already received orders from Commander Zhang, and knew that there would be a divisional artillery battalion coming to support them. Without hesitation, the soldiers quickly led Liu Gen and others towards Commander Zhang's frontline command post.In order to be able to grasp the specific situation on the battlefield at the first time, Commander Zhang set up the command post at the forefront.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The devil's artillery did not stop, and would land around Liu Gen and the others from time to time, but the progress of Liu Gen and the others was not affected in the slightest. Even if the artillery shells really landed in the team, they would not stop Liu Gen and the others.As they got closer to the front line, not only shells would fall around Liu Gen and the others, but bullets from devils would fly past Liu Gen and the others.

It can be said that Liu Gen and the others were advancing rapidly despite the barrage of bullets from the devils. It was also at night, and the devils could not clearly see where Liu Gen and the others were.If it was placed in the daytime, then Liu Gen and others would definitely suffer a lot of casualties.Even at night, casualties are inevitable.

Several soldiers of the Artillery Battalion were unfortunately hit by the devil's stray bullets and could not keep up with Liu Gen's footsteps. They could only choose to stop and wait for the health workers from the 714th Regiment to bandage them.Liu Gen didn't give up because of the soldiers' injuries, and his progress didn't stop at all. Now is not the time to care about those wounded soldiers.

"Report! Comrade Liu Gen from the Division Artillery Battalion has arrived." Outside the frontline command post, soldiers shouted loudly.

In the command post, Captain Zhang's frowning frowns were scattered, and a look of obvious joy appeared on his face, and he walked out quickly.

"Comrade Liu Gen, our 714th regiment is waiting for you." Head Zhang came to Liu Gen and held Liu Gen's hand tightly, feeling a little excited.

Liu Gen opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Teacher Zhang, please send the shells you prepared. Within 3 minutes, I will kill all the devil's artillery and blow up the devil's heavy machine gun."

"I hope that the soldiers of the 714th Regiment can seize the time to rush up, and take Wubao County directly while the devils have no resistance."

Head Zhang was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect Liu Gen to act so vigorously, but Liu Gen's behavior would undoubtedly speed up the time for the 714 regiment to take Wubao County.Originally, head Zhang wanted to let Liu Gen enter the command post to discuss, but now it seems that it is not necessary at all.

"Okay! As long as Comrade Liu Gen can kill the devil's artillery and heavy machine guns, then our 714th Regiment will surely be able to successfully break through the defense of the devil's puppet army, and will completely occupy Wubao County in three hours." Head Zhang said directly Said.

Even if the combat power of the 714 regiment is not weak, it would not be so easy to completely occupy Wubao County, but regiment leader Zhang still chose to do so.Liu Gen was able to kill the devil's artillery and heavy machine guns, but the devil did not have enough firepower to support it, and the 714 regiment could no longer take Wubao County.

"Very good!" Liu Gen nodded, he stopped talking, and directly led the soldiers of the artillery battalion towards the preset artillery position not far away.

Watching Liu Gen leave with the soldiers of the Division Artillery Regiment, Commander Zhang looked serious. This time the 714th Regiment must not hold back.In just a few minutes, it is necessary to organize the soldiers of the whole regiment to launch a general attack. For regimental leader Zhang, it is also a big challenge!

Arriving at the preset artillery position, the mortar shells were delivered without making Liu Gen and the others wait too long.

Because Liu Gen and others needed to quickly transfer the combat location, they had no way to carry enough shells. It was precisely because of this that the 714 regiment was required to provide shells.

"Next, let's start our performance, cheer up! There can't be any problems!" Liu Gen looked at the soldiers around him and said coldly.
