I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 573

"fire!"

"..."

Following Liu Gen's order, the soldiers of the artillery battalion who had been prepared for a long time immediately opened fire, and at the same time Liu Gen also controlled a mortar to attack the devil's gun tower.There were several exposed windows on the devil's turret. Liu Gen needed to drive shells into the turret in order to inflict enough damage to the devils in the turret.

The night still had an influence on Liu Gen. The moment the first shell was fired, Liu Gen realized that the shell should not be able to hit the devil's window.After slightly adjusting the angle of the mortar, Liu Gen took a shell from the soldier behind him and attacked the devil's gun tower again.

"boom"

This time, the shell successfully flew into the devil's gun tower, and the shell exploded with a muffled sound.

In the gun tower, just as the reacting cabinet was about to launch a counterattack, it saw a shell fly into the gun tower, and landed right in the middle of the newly gathered devils, directly injuring them severely.Before these devils could take any action, two shells fell into the gun tower again, making it impossible for the devils in the gun tower to organize an effective counterattack.

At the same time, Battalion Commander Zhang led the soldiers to the vicinity of the Devil's Battalion. Seeing this, Liu Gen directly shifted the target of the bombardment. With Battalion Commander Zhang around, the Devil's Battalion that could not organize an effective counterattack would surely be easily destroyed. won.

The soldier who stayed behind Liu Gen was a little stunned. When he handed Liu Gen the cannonball, he also paid attention to whether Liu Gen had successfully hit the target. Naturally, he saw that Liu Gen successfully drove the cannonball into the devil's gun tower.As a member of the artillery battalion, the soldiers clearly know how difficult it is to drive the shells into the devil's battery.

In the entire artillery battalion, there was no one who could do this, but what about Liu Gen?It seems to be very easy.

The other soldiers of the Artillery Battalion also noticed to some extent that Liu Gen shot the shells into the devil's battery, but because of the battle, even if the soldiers were very curious about how Liu Gen did this, they didn't have time to tell. Come and ask Liu Gen.Liu Gen had taught the soldiers of the artillery battalion before, but these soldiers of the artillery battalion had never seen Liu Gen make a move with their own eyes, so they were somewhat skeptical.

But now, the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion no longer had the slightest doubt. They could see that the Devils' artillery building, which could not organize an effective counterattack, was easily taken down by Battalion Commander Zhang and the soldiers.

Before Liu Gen came to the 120th Division, the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion had also fought the Devil's Cannon Tower. They knew clearly that the Devil's Cannon Tower was a tough nut to crack, and it was not easy to take down the Devil's Cannon Tower.But today's battle is to make the soldiers realize the key role that artillery can play in attacking the devil's artillery tower.

If it wasn't for Liu Gen's success in driving the shells into the Devil's Tower, the only way to take down the Devil's Tower would be to pile up the lives of soldiers. When a soldier successfully approached the Devil's Tower, he would put the explosives on the bottom of the Devil's Tower and detonate it. It is possible to take down the devil's gun tower.But now?With Liu Gen, there is no need for soldiers to risk their lives to do such a thing.

It can be said that the presence of Liu Gen made it easier for the soldiers to attack the devil's gun tower.

Half an hour later, the battle in Nuanquan Town ended. The soldiers of the Infantry Battalion were quickly cleaning the battlefield, and at the same time took over the defense of Nuanquan Town.The Devil's turret was built very solidly. Even if Liu Gen succeeded in driving the shells into the turret, it did not cause too much damage to the turret and could continue to be used.

Before the Eighth Route Army attacked the Devil’s Fortress, after the attack, the Devil’s Fortress would be blown up by explosives, or an obvious gap would be blown up, which would not be conducive for the Eighth Route Army to continue to rely on the Fortress for defense.Of course, in the past, the troops of the Eighth Route Army attacked the devil's gun tower just to get some weapons and equipment.

As for staying in the devil's turret for defense, it is naturally impossible.

Now it's different. With the 120th Division taking down several devil counties in the surrounding area, Liu Gen and his soldiers successfully took Nuanquan Town, so naturally they don't have to choose to evacuate.Next, the defense of Nuanquan Town will naturally become the top priority, and the two complete gun towers will play an important role in the defense of Nuanquan Town.

"Comrade Liu Gen, we found some information about the devil's march from the devil's gun tower." Battalion Commander Zhang hurried to Liu Gen and handed Liu Gen a detailed information.

Liu Gen took the information and looked at it carefully. It was a Japanese information, and it was the information of the Devils Independent Mixed Brigade mobilizing troops to Liulin County.From the information, Liu Gen could see that during these two days, the devils would dispatch a large number of troops to Liulin County, saying that Liulin County was very tightly defended, and the devils could not take Liulin County in a short time.

In order to take Liulin County as soon as possible, the devil commander who was in charge of attacking Liulin County applied for support, and this was the order to mobilize troops.Nuanquan Town is not too far from Liulin County, so Nuanquan Town also needs to send some troops to Liulin County for support.

It can be said that the fact that Liu Gen and others were able to easily take down Nuanquan Town had something to do with the deployment of troops by the devils in Nuanquan Town.

"It seems that the division's death squad is defending Liulin County very well, which will force the devils to continue to deploy troops to Liulin County."

"This information was immediately sent to the division headquarters, and the devils are mobilizing troops. We should be able to do something to prevent the devils from mobilizing troops so easily." Liu Gen said with a smile.Liu Gen was a little worried about the defense of Liulin County. After all, the 120th Division's defense strength in Liulin County was not large, but now with the information from the devil, Liu Gen did not have too many worries.

Judging from the devil's continuous mobilization of troops, it can be known that the devil has no good way of attacking Liulin County, and can only mobilize a large number of troops to attack.Being able to allow the devils to mobilize so many troops is enough to show that there is no major problem with the defense of the Desperate Special Agents in Liulin County.

"Well, that's what I think too. The devils shouldn't be allowed to mobilize troops so easily." Battalion Commander Zhang also said.

Liu Gen found out the military map and quickly checked it. He needed to find a suitable location, the only way for a devil to go to support Liulin County.With Liu Gen's strength, as long as he doesn't encounter the devil's infantry brigade, there is no big problem.

What's more, Liu Gen has an artillery battalion in his hands, so he doesn't need to consider the issue of firepower at all when he fights the devils.

"Looking for local comrades, I want to know more about the situation in this area, especially the topographical issues." Liu Gen said to Battalion Commander Zhang.

Battalion Commander Zhang nodded and left quickly. He needed to find local comrades for Liu Gen.The battle tonight made Battalion Commander Zhang see Liu Gen's ability. He believed that with Liu Gen's leadership, he would surely be able to win the battle.Besides, the division headquarters had already issued an order, Liu Gen was in charge of commanding, and Battalion Commander Zhang only had to obey.

Two hours later, the division sent an order to Liu Gen to lead the soldiers to find fighters, to delay as much as possible the advance of the devil troops in support of Liulin County, and to buy more time for the division's death squad to defend Liulin County. .The Desperate Secret Service Group's defense in Liulin County is already under great pressure, and they can't let too many devil troops pass.

Liu Gen was very happy to get the order from the division headquarters. Even if he had the idea of ​​fighting the devils, he couldn't act easily before receiving the division headquarters' order.Now with the order from the division headquarters, it is completely up to Liu Gen to decide whether to fight the devils or not.

Liu Gen didn't act rashly. In his opinion, he didn't know enough about the surrounding devil troops. In addition, he also needed to hurry up and find the only way for the devil troops to support Liulin County, so as to delay the speed of the devil troops. the goal of.

After asking some local comrades, Liu Gen learned more about the situation in the surrounding area, and also found the only way for the devil troops coming to support from Fenyang.

Fenyang is far away from Liulin County. Except for a small number of devils who can reach Liulin County today, most of the devil troops should arrive in Liulin County tomorrow afternoon.Of course, all of this needs to be based on the fact that these devil troops are not blocked, and it is naturally impossible for the devil troops not to be blocked.

As far as Liu Gen knows, the devil troops that went to support Liulin County and Xi County in all directions today were blocked, which made the devil troops in Liulin County and Xi County slightly insufficient, and failed to take Liulin County today. The two county towns of Hexian County.In order to stop the devils from going to support the troops, each unit of the 120th Division mobilized part of their troops to fight against them.

At the same time, the militias of the county brigades and small brigades in various regions were organized to block the reinforcements of the devils.In terms of weapons and equipment, the units of the Eighth Route Army cannot compare with the devils, but in terms of terrain, comrades in each unit are undoubtedly more familiar.Relying on his familiarity with the terrain and arranging a large number of mine traps, he successfully delayed the reinforcement speed of the devil troops.

At three o'clock in the morning, Liu Gen woke up the resting soldiers, leaving a company of soldiers behind Nuanquan Town, and took the rest of the soldiers towards Chemingyu.

Chemingyu was Liu Gen's choice of blocking location, and it was also the only way for the reinforcements from Fenyang to Liulin County.

Battalion Commander Zhang has no objection to Liu Gen's choice to stop the devil's reinforcements at Chemingyu. He has also asked the local comrades, and naturally knows that Chemingyu is the best choice to stop the devils.What's more, Chemingyu also belongs to the old revolutionary base area, and the blocking of the devil's reinforcements here can also get the close cooperation of the people.

At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Gen and others successfully arrived at Chemingyu. Immediately, Liu Gen contacted the Eighth Route Army troops in Chemingyu, preparing to unite with them to stop the devil's reinforcements. With the leadership of local comrades, Liu Gen Waiting for others can also be easier.
