I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 572
At 2 o'clock in the evening, outside Yonghe County, Liu Gen left quietly with a battalion of the [-]nd Regiment and soldiers from the Artillery Battalion.

The first time the Devils launched an attack on Liulin County today, Liu Gen and Captain Fu got the news. After waiting for a day without finding that the Devils' troops appeared around Yonghe County, Liu Gen and the two were able to confirm that the Devils were temporarily attacking Yonghe County. no idea.

Yonghe County is relatively far away from the devils. Even if it has a certain strategic value, it is impossible to directly abandon Liulin County and Xi County to attack Yonghe County.If the devils really do this, then the 120th Division must be willing to see it. At that time, the Eighth Route Army troops in the surrounding area may not be unable to encircle and suppress the attacking devils.

Head Fu is the head of the 2nd Regiment and needs to stay to defend Yonghe County, but Liu Gen doesn't need it. Before Liulin County and Xi County are taken by the devils, Yonghe County is still very safe.Originally, Liu Gen was not prepared to take action, but after receiving the combat order from Commander He, he decisively led the soldiers of the two battalions into action.

In the battle last night, Liu Gen was able to have the help of the cavalry detachment, but tonight, he did not have such good treatment.There is no way, the cavalry detachment is not near Yonghe County at this time, but has already run to the rear of the devils, trying to destroy the rear transportation of the devils.

With the mobility of the cavalry detachment, they going to the rear of the devils will inevitably have a considerable impact on the devils. In addition, the soldiers of the cavalry detachment carry enough explosives, which means that they have stronger destructive power.As for the cavalry detachment and the devil's army fighting head-on, this is naturally impossible.

For the Eighth Route Army, the cavalry is a treasure, and it took a lot of energy to develop a cavalry detachment from the 120th Division. Master He never had such an idea for the cavalry detachment to directly fight the devil's troops.Originally, the situation of the 120th Division was not very good. If the cavalry detachment was lost, Master He didn't know whether he could build another cavalry unit.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Gen led the soldiers to Nuanquan Town, where a small team of devils and puppet troops were defending.After Shilou County was successfully occupied by the 120th Division, the devil soldiers in Nuanquan Town became vigilant and their defense became much stronger.Just because the location of Nuanquan Town is not important, Nuanquan Town did not receive any military support.

In Master He's view, the location of Nuanquan Town is very important. Once the devils react and increase their troops in Nuanquan Town, Nuanquan Town as the center can threaten Liulin County occupied by the 120th Division at any time. Shilou County and Xi County.After knowing the importance of Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen was sent out.

Liu Gen is a talent, Master He believes that with Liu Gen's ability, it will not be difficult to lead two battalions of soldiers to take Nuanquan Town.There are quite a few devils killed by Liu Gen, and a squad of devils is nothing.Master He couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he chose to send Liu Gen out. Compared with Captain Fu, who was responsible for defending the county town, Liu Gen was undoubtedly much more relaxed.

After arriving in Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen did not launch an attack immediately. He could see that the devils in Nuanquan Town were very vigilant, and there were even two gun towers outside Nuanquan Town.The two turrets are the horns of each other, and it is not easy to take down the two devil turrets in the first place.

With the force in Liu Gen's hands, it was enough to attack the two devils' artillery towers by force, but if he chose to attack by force, there would inevitably be a lot of casualties, which Liu Gen did not want to see.

"Zhang Battalion Commander, is there a way to get around the devil's gun tower?" Liu Gen looked at Zhang Battalion Commander Zhang of the 2st Battalion of the [-]nd Regiment beside him, wanting to know Zhang Battalion Commander's thoughts.

Battalion Commander Zhang pondered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "The devils are very vigilant, not to mention that the devils are likely to have secret sentry posts, but it is difficult for us to touch the searchlights on the devil's gun tower quietly."

"In addition, these devils are very smart. They have lit up the entire Nuanquan Town, making it very difficult to get close."

Liu Gen nodded. He could understand the difficulty. He looked towards the devil's two gun towers. In the night, it seemed that there were two murderous beasts that devoured people, and they would suddenly pounce and devour their lives in the next moment.

"It seems that we can only attack by force. Let the soldiers rest first, and we will attack again in the early morning." Liu Gen pondered for a moment and made up his mind to attack by force.

Battalion Commander Zhang has no objection. He understands why Liu Gen chose to attack in the early morning. In the early morning, the devil soldiers will be quite tired. I believe that during the strong attack, the soldiers will suffer fewer casualties.Coupled with the artillery battalion, when the devils are resting, two or three rounds of shelling can eliminate part of the enemy.

As for the devils in the gun tower, it's not that easy to get rid of, and it's not that easy to drive shells into the devil's gun tower.

The soldiers rested, and it took them a lot of energy to rush to Nuanquan Town. Now that they have a certain amount of rest time, they naturally don't want to waste it.

Liu Gen didn't rest. He picked up the binoculars and observed the Devil's two blockhouses carefully. With Liu Gen around, it was not as difficult as he imagined to solve the Devil's two blockhouses.But even if Liu Gen's artillery skills are strong enough, he still needs to be well prepared.

Under the illumination of the light, Liu Gen saw a lot of things through the binoculars. The two gun towers of the Devils were well established. Usually, when the Eighth Route Army troops came, there would inevitably be many gun towers that wanted to take down the two gun towers of the Devils. casualties.

With two gun towers for defense, the devils can hold on for a long time. Once they fail to take down these two gun towers in a short period of time, the devil reinforcements from the surrounding strongholds and county towns will come continuously.

At two o'clock in the morning, the soldiers stop to rest, get up their spirits, and get ready for the battle.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, take the soldiers of the first battalion to touch it, and rush over immediately after our artillery battalion fires. I will kill the devil's two gun towers directly, and I will not let the devils in the gun towers have any chance to fire. "

"I hope you can rush directly to the side of the devil's gun towers and seize these two gun towers in the shortest possible time." Liu Gen instructed Battalion Commander Zhang beside him.

Battalion Commander Zhang nodded vigorously. He didn't understand how Liu Gen would kill the devil's blockhouse, but he believed that Liu Gen said so, then there must be a way to kill the devil's blockhouse.Battalion Commander Zhang only hoped that Liu Gen could kill the devil's gun tower quickly, so that the soldiers could relax.

"Hurry up and act, the battle will start in 5 minutes!"

Soon, Liu Gen could see the soldiers, under the leadership of Battalion Commander Zhang, quietly groping towards the position of the devil's gun tower.It was only because of the existence of the devil's lights that battalion commander Zhang stopped at a distance of 200 meters from the devil's gun tower, and could no longer move forward.

If you keep moving forward, Battalion Commander Zhang and others will appear under the lights of the devils, and they will be easily spotted by the devils, so you can't continue to venture forward.

"Prepare!"

Seeing that Battalion Commander Zhang was unable to move forward, Liu Gen issued an order to prepare for battle, and the artillery battalion needed to act.
