I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 565
Chongqing government, at 08:30 in the evening, Generalissimo Jiang received a report from the second war zone that the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the ghost town of Lishi.

In just two hours, the entire Luliang area was in chaos, and it tended to expand towards the entire Shanxi.According to the observation of personnel in the Second Theater, the 129th Division, 115th Division and other units of the Eighth Route Army have mobilized troops, and there seems to be a tendency to engage in large-scale battles with the devils.

"Darling, did something happen again?" Madam Song asked.

Chairman Jiang shook his head, frowned and said, "It's about the Eighth Route, I need to know the specifics."

Seeing this, Mrs. Song understood what Chairman Jiang meant, and whispered a few words to go back to rest early, then turned around and left. It is better for her not to get involved in military affairs.

After Mrs. Song left, some military officers sent specific information about the battle in Lishi County for Chairman Jiang to judge.

"It seems that the troops of the Eighth Route Army are developing well, and they can't bear the loneliness anymore." After reading the information in his hand, Generalissimo Jiang said so.

Chairman Jiang frowned. The changes in the situation in Shanxi made him a little confused.But overall, the changes in Shanxi will undoubtedly relieve the national army in western Hubei a lot of pressure.Once the Eighth Route Army troops show too much strength in Shanxi, the devils will definitely take action directly to suppress them.

"Could it be that the Eighth Route realized something?" Generalissimo Jiang murmured in a low voice, but he did not issue any order to mobilize any troops.

Before the situation in Shanxi became clear, Generalissimo Jiang was not going to do anything. Since the Eighth Route Army was going to make trouble, let the Eighth Route Army make trouble. He wanted to see what the Eighth Route Army could do.

……

On the way from Wubao County to Shilou County, Liu Gen and the others looked serious. Along the way, the soldiers scouting in front of the team found many troops who were going to support the devils. For this reason, they changed their direction several times. , in order to avoid these devils going to reinforcements.

It has to be said that the reinforcement speed of the devil's army is very fast, even if the road conditions here are not good, the devil's support speed is still very fast.According to the devil's current speed, it would take less than two hours to resist the Lishi County area.

Of course, on the way, the reinforcements of these devils will also be blocked by various units of the Eighth Route Army. According to the original battle plan, the reinforcements of these devils will not be able to successfully reach Lishi County where they need support until after dawn.By that time, the soldiers of the division's death-defying teaching group had already evacuated safely.

"Captain, there is a small troop of devils ahead, we cannot avoid it." While advancing, a soldier came to Captain Yao on horseback, his expression a little ugly.

Captain Yao frowned. On this road, their cavalry detachment had already conducted investigations, so there shouldn't be any problems.But now, how could he encounter a small army of devils and be unable to avoid it?
"What's going on?" Captain Yao asked with an ugly face.

"Now we are at Hongya, and there is a small army of devils who chose this route in order to provide support as soon as possible. They are devils from Xiemadian stronghold, and there is a small team." The soldier said quickly.

Captain Yao's face became more and more ugly. It is not so easy to deal with a small group of devils, not to mention that this is a mountain road, and the soldiers of the cavalry detachment gather together. casualties.

You must know that there will be light machine guns and grenades in the hands of the devil squad. When the cavalry detachment charges on the mountain road, the speed will inevitably be affected, and it will also become an easy target for the devil to hit.It can be said that even if the cavalry detachment can successfully kill this devil squad, the casualties will be somewhat unbearable.

"Captain Yao, if we can't avoid this devil squad, we'll just kill him!" Liu Gen said.

There are mountains and forests on both sides of this mountain road. If you want to avoid these devils, you can only enter the mountains and forests, and this will undoubtedly greatly affect the speed of Liu Gen and others. Simple, instead of thinking about entering the forest, it is better to think about killing these little devils directly.

The cavalry detachment, together with Liu Gen and others, has nearly 300 people. With so many people, can it be less than a devil's infantry squad?
"Comrade Liu Gen, we don't have any heavy weapons in our hands. The comrades in the artillery battalion have mortars in their hands, but we don't have enough shells. If we really want to attack this devil squad, we won't be too serious if we want to win." It's easy." Captain Yao didn't have much thought of fighting the devils, it's fine if he can win, but if he can't win, it will affect the entire battle plan.

Liu Gen shook his head, "We don't have heavy weapons in our hands, but the devils don't know our existence. As long as we can ambush them well, it will be very easy to catch the devils by surprise."

"It's night now, and the soldiers are all carrying grenades. At worst, we'll just use up all the grenades. I don't believe the devils can survive so many grenades."

Captain Yao was a little moved, and what Liu Gen said was right, with so many grenades going down, even if they couldn't kill all the devils, there wouldn't be too many devils left.In terms of marksmanship, the soldiers may not be able to compete with the devils, but they are relatively good at throwing grenades.

"Okay! Then let's lay an ambush and kill this devil team directly." Captain Yao thought for a while, and finally made a decision.

Liu Gen nodded in satisfaction. Killing this devil team is the best choice. In his opinion, as long as it is handled well, it won't take too much time to kill this devil team.At the same time, killing this devil team can somewhat relieve the pressure on some of the division's death squads.

"The devils are still a certain distance away from us. We don't need all the soldiers to ambush, just take out half of them. The rest of the soldiers stay 1000 meters behind with their horses. After the battle is over, we will continue to set off." Liu Gen said again.

Captain Yao had no opinion on Liu Gen's arrangement, and soon the soldiers were divided into two parts. Under the leadership of Captain Yao, the soldiers in charge of the ambush walked forward quickly. They needed to reduce the distance between them and the devils. Try to get rid of this devil team as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Captain Yao and the others took away all the grenades. If they couldn't kill the devil with so many grenades, then they needed to say something.

Liu Gen led the rest of the soldiers forward slowly, calculating himself in his heart, keeping a distance from Captain Yao and the others.At night, with a distance of 1000 meters, the devils could not see Liu Gen and the others at all.
