I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 564 A group of waste

"Listen to my orders! Prepare!"

"put!"

Following Liu Gen's order, the soldiers of the artillery battalion quickly put the shells into the barrel of the mortar according to the order. By the time the devil's artillerymen on the city wall realized that the 714th regiment also had artillery, it was already too late.In a short distance, the devil artillery had no time to escape, and was directly hit by the artillery shells fired by the soldiers of the artillery battalion. The explosive shells took away the lives of devils one by one.

Suddenly being bombarded by the Eighth Route Army, the devils on the city wall froze, and the battlefield became strangely quiet.However, these devils reacted quickly, and they pulled the trigger again, shooting crazily towards the city wall.

The devils defending on the city wall knew that no matter what happened, they needed to defend with all their strength. Unless there was really no hope, these devils would not choose to surrender.As for the puppet soldiers who were responsible for assisting the defense, their expressions became a little strange. The devil's artillery was killed, and the puppet soldiers realized that it would be difficult for Wubao County to defend against the crazy attack of the Eighth Route Army.

The puppet army who didn't pay much attention to defense at first became more and more careless when defending. Except for a few puppet troops who committed a lot of crimes and knew that the Eighth Route Army rushed to them, most of the puppet troops When shooting, they subconsciously raised the muzzle a lot.

In the frontline command post, Captain Zhang saw the explosion on the city wall and knew that the artillery of these devils was directly killed by soldiers from the artillery battalion of the division headquartered by Liu Gen.During the interval between the shelling by Liu Gen and others, Commander Zhang could hear that the Japanese artillery on the city wall did not make any counterattacks, and the result was very obvious.

"Pass my order! After 2 minutes, the whole regiment will be bayoneted! Launch a general attack on Wubao County!"

"All the comrades of our 714th regiment must rush forward, and the county brigade and district squads are behind. Wait until our 714th regiment can't move forward!" Commander Zhang ordered loudly.

The soldiers of the 714th regiment took out the bayonets they carried with them, and put the bayonets on the rifles in their hands. Their faces were firm, and in the night, they looked like turbulent waves about to erupt.The soldiers looked determined, and when they encountered the devil, they would unleash their strongest strength, tear apart the devil's defense line on the city wall, and take down the county in the shortest possible time.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Shells flew out of the mortar continuously and landed around the exposed firepower point of the devil. Liu Gen personally controlled a mortar and killed 50.00% of the firepower point of the devil.The remaining firepower of the devils was killed by the soldiers of the artillery battalion. The soldiers' skills could not compare with Liu Gen's, but compared with Liu Gen, they undoubtedly had a lot more mortars in their hands.

One shell can't kill the devil's firepower point, so fire a few more rounds, so many soldiers fire together, no matter how well the devil's firepower point is arranged, it won't have any effect.

Of course, Liu Gen and the others were able to go so smoothly because the 714 Regiment put enough pressure on the devils when they attacked Wubao County before, so that the devils exposed these firepower points and the artillery they owned.If this is not the case, then Liu Gen will definitely need to spend more time in Wubao County.

"You guys stay here! To assist the 714 regiment in attacking Wubao County, other comrades will transfer with me." After Liu Gen left a soldier of the artillery company behind, he led other soldiers to quickly pack up the artillery, ready to transfer again.

The location of Wubao County is somewhat special, and naturally it cannot be compared with Lishi County in terms of strategic location, but Wubao County is the bridgehead for the devils to go to Yan'an. The successful capture of Wubao County by the 714 regiment is not the end. It will only be over when the devils react and successfully resist the attack of the devils on Wubao County.

A company of soldiers from the Artillery Battalion could help the 714th Regiment relieve a lot of pressure. Even if reinforcements from the devils arrived, the 714th Regiment would be able to fight.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Comrades! Follow me up and kill the devils on the city wall!"

"..."

Liu Gen and the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion had just put away the cannons and were about to move them with them, when they could see the soldiers of the 714th Regiment rushing towards Wubao County.I don't know when, a soldier touched the front of the devil's city gate, and the soldier placed the explosive package. In less than 20 seconds, there was a loud bang from the gate of Wubao County.

Compared with the sound caused by the explosion of mortar shells, this loud noise is undoubtedly much louder, and the city gate was directly blasted open!

"It seems that the 714 Regiment won Wubao County will not be a problem." Seeing that the gate of the county was blown open, Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

The soldiers of the Artillery Battalion showed obvious joy on their faces. They followed Liu Gen's continuous shifting and fighting for what?Isn't it just to help other troops take the devil county smoothly?The soldiers were very excited to see that Wubao County was about to be captured by the 714th Regiment with the assistance of themselves and others.

"Okay! Next we have to move to other places, we need to start immediately!" Liu Gen looked at the soldiers around him and said with a serious expression.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion froze, not daring to say anything, followed behind Liu Gen, and quickly rushed towards the position of the cavalry detachment.From time to time, stray bullets from devils flew by, but this time the soldiers didn't have any fear, so what if they were hit by stray bullets?As long as the county can be taken down, all sacrifices are worth it.

Ten minutes later, Liu Gen and others came to the position of the cavalry detachment. The soldiers of the cavalry detachment helped Liu Gen and the others put the artillery on the horses again. This was the only time Liu Gen and the others could rest.

"set off!"

After Liu Gen and the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion were all on their horses, Captain Yao directly issued the transfer order. Next, they need to go to Shilou County, which is nearly [-] kilometers away, and it will take at least one and a half hours. case.

At the same time, in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Yoshio Iwamatsu, the headquarters of the Devil's First Army, continued to issue orders to mobilize various troops.At the same time, Yoshio Iwamatsu called all the officers in the headquarters who were already preparing to rest to the headquarters. He needed these officers to see the Eighth Route Army's combat intentions in the shortest possible time.

Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't know much about the 120th Division. When he became the commander of the First Army, the 120th Division had already been transferred back to Yan'an to be responsible for the protection of Yan'an.Tonight, when he suddenly learned that the troops under the 120th Division had taken the initiative to launch an attack on Lishi County, Yoshio Iwamatsu still thought he was joking with him.

The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army is responsible for protecting the safety of Yan'an, and rarely mobilizes on weekdays, let alone directly attacking the county town occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army.Yoshio Iwamatsu felt that unless the commander of the 120th Division had a problem with his thinking, he would not choose to attack Lishi County.

But when Yoshio Yansong really saw the telegram for help from Lishi County, his face was extremely ugly. He realized that he was not joking with himself. The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army really launched an attack on Lishi County.From the telegram given by Lishi County, the Eighth Route Army troops besieging Lishi County were strong in combat and should belong to the main force of the 120th Division.

Yoshio Yanmatsu didn't understand why the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which rarely moves, chose to attack suddenly. The defense of Lishi County is not weak, and it is not easy to take it in a short time.

However, considering the important strategic location of Lishi County, Yoshio Iwamatsu still issued an order to let the troops in the surrounding area go to support as quickly as possible.

"Gentlemen, do you see why the Eighth Route Army troops attacked Lishi County? Is there something we don't know about it?" Yoshio Iwamatsu asked the officers and staff who were talking about it in a deep voice.

Yoshio Iwamatsu did not dare to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army. He would never forget why his predecessor Yoshio Shinozuka was transferred back to the mainland. The reason was that he failed to suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army.Especially after the Eighth Route Army launched the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the Army Headquarters paid special attention to the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army troops in the occupied area.

After Yoshio Iwamatsu took over as the commander of the First Army, he also launched several raids on the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, which achieved good results.

Who would have thought that the troops of the Eighth Route Army would suddenly make such a big move just after being quiet for a period of time. Could it be that these Eighth Route Army troops were not worried about being encircled and suppressed by the Imperial Japanese Army again?
The officers and staff members lowered their heads. They knew too little information and could not see the combat intention of the 120th Division. The only information they could see was that Lishi County needed emergency rescue!The strategic location of Lishi County is too important to fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

"Baga! A bunch of trash!" Yoshio Iwamatsu yelled angrily.
