Chapter 574

Cheming Valley, with rugged terrain and dense forests, is a good place to ambush devils for reinforcements.

In order to be able to block the devil's reinforcements and delay the progress of the devil's reinforcements, Liu Gen specially asked the soldiers to set up mines and traps on the road.In Liu Gen's vision, he was not going to exchange fire with the devils immediately. As long as he could delay the progress of the devil's reinforcements, it didn't matter whether he fought the devils or not.

Due to the limited number of mines carried by Liu Gen and others, Liu Gen and others did not arrange many mines, and it was difficult to form a minefield that was too large.

In order to slow down the speed of the devils, Liu Gen deliberately let the soldiers spread out when laying the mines, so as not to form the mines into a minefield.This time the landmines were deployed to stop the devils and delay the progress of the devils. There is no need to blindly pursue killing.

I have to say that under the leadership of Battalion Commander Zhang, the soldiers did a very good job.

After everything was arranged, the soldiers had time to rest. The rush last night and the arrangement of mines and traps after arriving made the soldiers somewhat tired.After the soldiers ate the dry food they carried with them, they hid behind the position and waited patiently. Except for some soldiers, they stayed outside to guard, while the others rested.

Liu Gen didn't rest, he wasn't too tired, and he didn't need to do things like arranging mines and traps.The soldiers did a very good job, even if Liu Gen did it, there would not be much change.

During the rest time of the soldiers, Liu Gen communicated with Chemingyu's militia. Considering the combat effectiveness of the militia, he did not intend to let these comrades stay in the position to stop the devils together.For the local militia in Chemingyu, Liu Gen had a better arrangement. He chose to arrange these comrades in the woods on both sides of the road to prevent the devils from abandoning the road and choosing to walk through the woods.

Liu Gen and the others were not familiar with the woods on both sides of the road, so they naturally needed the local militia to defend them.

Three hours later, some devil troops arrived at Chemingyu. There were not many devil troops, only one infantry squad, which should only be regarded as the front troops.

Liu Gen didn't believe that there was only one infantry squad in the devil's army coming to support from Fenyang. In order to prevent the devil's infantry squad from destroying the mines and traps, Liu Gen decisively asked Battalion Commander Zhang to take the initiative to attack with the soldiers.With the fire suppression of the artillery battalion, it is not difficult to kill a devil infantry squad.

Of course, Liu Gen only used part of the mortars when shelling the devil infantry squad, and he didn't want these devils to know how many artillery pieces they had in their hands.

Under battalion commander Zhang led the soldiers to take the initiative to attack, except for a small number of devils, most of the devils were directly killed.After simply cleaning the battlefield, Battalion Commander Zhang took the soldiers back to the position. They didn't gain much. How many good things can a devil infantry squad have?
As for killing this devil infantry squad, the existence of Liu Gen and others would be exposed, Liu Gen didn't care. Even if he didn't take action this time, the devil would know that he and others were here to stop them sooner or later.Exposure in advance will not make the devils change their direction. Who made Che Mingyu the only way for the devils' reinforcements to Liulin County?
Unless the devil's reinforcements are willing to take a detour, they can avoid Liu Gen and others' blocking, but with the devil's arrogant character, why would he choose to take a detour?
"Comrade Liu Gen, are you sure the devil won't choose to take a detour?" In the camp, Battalion Commander Zhang asked worriedly.

What Liu Gen said was very certain, but Battalion Commander Zhang was still somewhat worried. The devils were arrogant, but they should be able to distinguish the priorities. Just go to waste.

"Battlemaster Zhang, given the devil's situation, he will not easily choose to take a detour." =
"What's more, even if these devils choose to take a detour, they will encounter our blocking troops and be slowed down." Liu Gen smiled confidently.

The devils who came to support from Fenyang must have used military vehicles. Otherwise, relying on the two legs of the devils, how could they reach Liulin County in a short time?According to the terrain conditions of the surrounding area, Chemingyu is the only passage for the Devils' military vehicles to pass through, and the Devils' reinforcement troops will not choose to give up passing through Chemingyu.

Seeing Liu Gen's self-confidence, Battalion Commander Zhang's worries dissipated a little. According to Liu Gen, whether the devils would choose to take a detour does not change the fact that the devils' reinforcements were blocked.

"Zhang Battalion Commander, have you fired the bullets captured from the devils? Once the battle starts, the soldiers must have enough ammunition in their hands." Liu Gen asked.

Battalion Commander Zhang nodded, "Comrade Liu Gen, don't worry, I know the importance of ammunition in battle. The captured ammunition has already been distributed to comrades, and it will definitely not affect the battle of comrades."

Seeing this, Liu Gen didn't say anything anymore. Based on the experience of Battalion Commander Zhang, there shouldn't be any problems in all aspects.The next battle with the devil's reinforcements will be the top priority. With the devil's madness, Liu Gen and others will inevitably have a tough battle to fight with the devil's reinforcements.

The only thing Liu Gen hoped was that the devil's reinforcements did not carry heavy artillery, otherwise he would not know how to fight this battle. If the devil really had heavy artillery in his hands, then Liu Gen didn't think he and others would be able to stop the devil's reinforcement for long.The range and power of the heavy artillery far exceeded the mortars in the artillery battalion. If you want to kill the devil's heavy artillery, you can only use heavy artillery.

But now, with the situation of the 120th Division, where can Liu Gen get heavy artillery?
Five hours later, a large army of devils appeared on the outskirts of Chemingyu. According to the scouting soldiers, there should be an infantry brigade of devils, with nearly a thousand people.This devil's infantry brigade has five military vehicles, and there are three jumpers in front of the team to clear the way. It seems that this devil's army has already received the news that Chemingyu is blocked by the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving the news that the devil reinforcements had arrived at Chemingyu, Liu Gen immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the position, and the artillery battalion was hidden behind.

Not long after the soldiers entered the position, they could see the devil troops appearing in the sight of Liu Gen and the others. The military vehicles and the three bunnies were left behind by the devils. blow up.The fact that the Japanese reinforcements arrived at Chemingyu so quickly had something to do with the military vehicle they were riding in.

It's just that even the devils don't have enough military vehicles to transport soldiers, so they can only let the devil soldiers take military vehicles instead to increase their marching speed.

"Hide well! The devil's bombardment is coming!" Liu Gen picked up the binoculars and looked towards the devil. He could see the devil's artillery quickly setting up mortars.

Liu Gen was somewhat relieved to see the Devils artillery setting up mortars. It seemed that this Devils army did not carry heavy artillery, otherwise they would not have only used mortars.

Battalion Commander Zhang looked solemn. He had fought many devil troops, so he naturally knew the fighting habits of devil troops.Battalion Commander Zhang waved lightly, and the soldiers immediately hid in the cat's ear holes in the position, waiting for the devil's next shelling.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

"..."

In less than 5 minutes, the devil's intensive shelling hit the position where Liu Gen and the others were. The devil's shelling was very intensive, and the shells seemed to cost no money at all.After launching five rounds of shelling on the position of Liu Gen and others, the devil's artillery fire immediately extended and attacked towards the rear of the position.

In the cat's ear hole, Liu Gen immediately crawled out of the cat's ear hole after he noticed that the devils were extending their artillery fire. He could see the devil's soldiers coming back to the position quickly.Before Liu Gen could give an order, the other soldiers crawled out of the cat's ear hole, and they also realized that the devil's attack had begun.

"Battlemaster Zhang, the defense of the position is entrusted to you. I need to lead the artillery battalion to launch a counterattack!"

"hold onto!"

"..."

Quickly returning from the front line to the rear, Liu Gen could see the craters from the Devil's shells less than 50 meters away from the artillery battalion's hiding place.If the devil's artillery fire continues to extend, the artillery battalion will inevitably be ordered by the devil's artillery shells, causing considerable losses.

"Advance 200 meters with the mortar, pay attention to concealment!" Seeing the soldiers of the artillery battalion, Liu Gen immediately issued an order.

In order to avoid the devil's shelling, Liu Gen made the artillery battalion hide out of the range of the devil's artillery, and this distance also meant that the artillery battalion could not launch a counterattack against the devil's artillery.Now Liu Gen needs the artillery battalion to advance 200 meters and bring the Devil Artillery into its own range before launching a counterattack against the Devil Artillery.

The soldiers of the Artillery Battalion looked serious and moved forward with mortars and shells without hesitation.As artillerymen, they naturally knew what to do next.

In the frontline position, bullets and dust danced together. Facing the devil soldiers rushing towards the position, Battalion Commander Zhang led the soldiers to fight back frantically.Every time the devils rushed to the position, some devil soldiers would be successfully killed by the soldiers, and many devils were injured.

At this time, the devil's artillery had already stopped shelling, and the devil soldiers were not too far away from the position. If they continued to shell, it would be easy to hurt these devil soldiers rushing towards the Eighth Route Army's position.

In the devil's army at the rear, the devil commander was observing the battle on the front line with binoculars. He could see that the Eighth Route Army's counterattack was very fierce, and the firepower was not weak. Among them, there were two or three heavy machine guns.It was unknown whether these heavy machine guns were all the firepower of the Eighth Route Army. The Devil Commander looked solemn, and it seemed that it would not be easy to kill these blocking Eighth Route Army easily.

"Send two more infantry squads! I want to defeat these Tuba Route troops who dare to stop the Imperial Japanese Army in the shortest possible time!"
