I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 576 Almost died

The existence of the artillery battalion made it extremely difficult for the devils to attack the position. Whenever the devils rushed within 20 meters of Battalion Commander Zhang and others, they could no longer advance half a step.

After trying five or six attacks, the devil could not successfully rush into the position, and could only be repelled again and again.

The devil commander's face was ugly. He thought that even without the help of artillery, he could easily break through the Eighth Route Army's position.In the impression of the devil commander, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army may have a certain strength, but it cannot be compared with the artillery of the Great Japanese Empire.

But now, seeing the attacks being repelled one after another, the devil commander realized that he was wrong. He had wrongly underestimated the fighting power of Liu Gen and the others, and that's why he fell into this situation.

"Order the [-]rd Infantry Squadron to withdraw! The [-]th Infantry Squadron to go up! We must not let these dirt roads have any rest time." Seeing the casualties of the charging Devil Infantry Squadron, the Devil Commander said with a frown.

Soon, a new devil infantry squadron quickly rushed towards the Eighth Route Army position, while the previous devil infantry squadron successfully withdrew.

Commander Devil looked at the infantry squadron that had withdrawn, his face was a bit ugly, he could see that the remaining combat power of this infantry squadron was not much, at most only one and a half infantry squads still had combat power.Due to injuries, many devil soldiers could not successfully withdraw from the battlefield.

On the battlefield, for wounded soldiers, unless the battle is over, they cannot withdraw from the battlefield, and there will only be one result.

The battle continued, and the newly replaced Devil Infantry Squadron was very smart. They did not choose to forcefully rush to the position defended by Battalion Commander Zhang and others. The men shoot at each other.The shooting skills of the devil soldiers are not weak, and it is difficult for Battalion Commander Zhang and the others to gain too much advantage when shooting against each other.

On the rear artillery battalion, Liu Gen put down the binoculars in his hand, and he could see the changes that had taken place after the arrival of the new devil infantry squadron.Under the current situation, Battalion Commander Zhang and others will not feel comfortable if they continue to fight like this.

Just considering the ammunition consumption of the artillery battalion, it was impossible for Liu Gen to shell the devils all the time, and he still needed to leave a certain amount of shells to deal with the devils' next attack.If the artillery battalion's shells are used up at one time, then the artillery battalion will have no combat effectiveness.

Even soldiers in the artillery battalion can fight devils with guns, but why use guns when they can use artillery?

Master He handed over the 120th Division Artillery Battalion to Liu Gen completely out of trust in Liu Gen.If possible, Liu Gen naturally hoped that he could bring the artillery battalion back completely so that they could return to the 120th Division.

Sacrifice is inevitable in battle, what Liu Gen can do is to minimize the casualties of soldiers.

"Damn it, these devils are crazy." Battalion Commander Zhang cursed angrily while taking advantage of the gap between reloading bombs.

This newly replaced devil infantry squadron chose to shoot at the infantry battalion led by Battalion Commander Zhang. position compared.It can be said that it is very unwise for the devils to choose to shoot at each other.

But Battalion Commander Zhang also knew that the devils had the capital to do this. Firstly, the shooting level of the devil soldiers was much higher, and secondly, the devil's troops also surpassed Battalion Commander Zhang and others.In the case of the devils, even if they fight all this infantry squadron, they will still have enough fighting power.

And what about the infantry battalion led by Battalion Commander Zhang?Obviously you can't fight the devils recklessly.

But what made Battalion Commander Zhang helpless was that he knew he couldn't fight head-to-head with the Devil's Infantry Squadron, but he couldn't change the situation.In the battle, even with the support of the artillery battalion, the initiative of the battle is still in the hands of the devils.Until the devil commander did not change his mind, this kind of battle would continue.

Time passed in the battle, and the devils were willing to shoot at each other. Battalion Commander Zhang couldn't change it, so he could only continue to shoot at the devils.

Fortunately, the devils do not have artillery in their hands, which makes the devils never have the idea of ​​​​a large-scale attack until they have gained a large enough advantage.After all, the artillery fire displayed by the artillery battalion is not weak, and the devil commander obviously does not want to use the lives of a large number of devil soldiers to test the artillery fire of the artillery battalion.

Three hours later, the opposing squadron of devil infantry was replaced, and a new squadron of devils was added. Battalion Commander Zhang and the others had no choice but to watch all this happen.

Now that the battle has progressed, the devil's intentions are already obvious. Without artillery, the devil decisively gave up the idea of ​​taking down the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions in one fell swoop. The battle is won.

In fact, the devils did achieve their goal. The soldiers of the infantry battalion in the position looked tired, and many soldiers' hands were shaking. After fighting for so long, the soldiers can persist until now, which is already very powerful.With such a battle, the soldiers didn't even have time to eat and rest.

The devils seemed to be shooting at each other, but as long as they found any opportunity to attack, they would rush forward without hesitation, trying to take down the position defended by Battalion Commander Zhang and others.Among them, there were several times when the devils almost rushed to the defensive position, and they were successfully repelled only under the decisive shelling of the artillery battalion.

On the artillery battalion's position, Liu Gen kept counting on the ground with a branch. Up to now, he knew what he needed to do in order to delay the devil for more time.The artillery battalion does not carry many shells. If the battle continues, the shells of the artillery battalion will be exhausted quickly.

Without the shells, it would be much easier for the devils to rush to the defensive position. At that time, I am afraid that they will have to desperately resist the devils' attack.Before going all out, Liu Gen felt that he needed to find a way to do something in order to delay the devil for more time.

Judging from the performance of the devil soldiers in the battle, Liu Gen knew that the devil commander on the opposite side should be a veteran, otherwise he would not have behaved so calmly.If it were younger devil commanders, they would definitely continue to charge in such a situation, and then take down the positions defended by the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time.

Compared with the veteran among the devil commanders, Liu Gen hoped that the opposite devil commander was a young man, so that the battle would not develop to the present level.

Liu Gen could tell that the devil commander on the opposite side not only wanted to break through the defense of Liu Gen and the others, but also wanted to annihilate Liu Gen and the others here.With the existence of the artillery battalion exposed, it is normal for the devil commander to have such thoughts, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion is not weak.

In order to avoid being annihilated by the devils here, Liu Gen needs to break the current situation, and in Liu Gen's view, there is only one way to break this situation, and that is to kill the devil's commander!As long as the devil's commander is killed, the current situation will definitely be changed.

But it is not that simple to kill the devil's commander. Up to now, Liu Gen has not been able to determine the specific location of the devil's commander.

The devil commander is very cunning, he hides himself very well, especially after the devil artillery is killed, in order to ensure his own safety, the devil commander will not show up easily at all.It is impossible to find the specific location of the devil commander, so it will naturally become impossible to kill the devil commander.

"Commander Wang, the artillery battalion will be handed over to you for the time being. I need to go to the front to have a look." Throwing away the wooden stick in his hand, Liu Gen got up and said.

Battalion Commander Wang is the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, but after Liu Gen took over the artillery battalion, he was responsible for assisting Liu Gen in managing the artillery battalion.Battalion Commander Wang's ability is not weak, and Master He's ability to hand over the artillery battalion to him is enough to show his ability.After Liu Gen took over the Artillery Battalion, Battalion Commander Wang did not have any complaints, and has always cooperated with Liu Gen's command.

"Liu Gen informs that the front is too dangerous. We killed the devil's artillery, but the devil's soldiers are not weak in marksmanship."

"Before we set off, the teacher seriously told me not to let you go to the front line easily, and not let you have any problems. If you really have a problem at the front line, the teacher will definitely scold me to death when you go back." Battalion Commander Wang said with a worried face.

Under the command of Liu Gen, the artillery battalion played a great role, which was beyond the reach of Battalion Commander Wang.Battalion Commander Wang is very aware of Liu Gen's importance to the artillery battalion, not to mention that with the command of the division commander, he doesn't want Liu Gen to have any problems.

"Don't worry, with Battalion Commander Zhang and the others around, I won't have any problems."

"Battalion Commander Wang, you should be able to see the current situation. If we continue to fight, we will most likely be wiped out by the devils here."

"This kind of battle cannot continue, we need to make changes! I went to the front line just to find opportunities for change. Master He entrusted you to me, and I have the responsibility to bring you all back!"

"..."

In the end, Battalion Commander Wang still couldn't dispel Liu Gen's idea of ​​going to the front line to observe. He knew that Liu Gen was right. If the battle continued like this, the casualties would continue to increase, including many casualties in the infantry battalion.If this continues, the casualties of the infantry battalion will definitely reach an unbearable level. When the devils launch a general attack, it will become impossible to retreat.

The only thing Battalion Commander Wang can do is to let the two soldiers follow Liu Gen, hoping that these two soldiers can protect Liu Gen's safety.

After leaving the position of the artillery battalion, Liu Gen successfully arrived at the defensive position of the infantry battalion on the front line. He lowered his body and walked through the trenches. Along the way, Liu Gen could see many soldiers who died heroically.At the same time, Liu Gen could see that many wounded soldiers did not choose to withdraw from their positions. They had no way to continue fighting, so they helped other soldiers load ammunition or carry supplies.

Liu Gen looked at the soldiers in the position, his already serious expression had already become more serious.Even for these soldiers, Liu Gen would kill the devil's commander, so as to change the current battle situation.

"get down"

Suddenly, a soldier following Liu Gen suddenly pressed Liu Gen under him. The next moment, a bullet hit the soldier's body, causing the soldier to groan in pain.

Liu Gen came to his senses, got up quickly and hugged the soldier in his arms, stretched out his hand and pressed hard on the soldier's wound, but the blood still couldn't stop!
"Bandage! Give me a bandage!" Liu Gen shouted loudly.

The comrades around him hurriedly sent the bandages to Liu Gen, who took the bandages and quickly bandaged the wounded soldiers.It's just that the bandage was just tied, and it was dyed red in less than a minute. The bullet was so deadly that Liu Gen couldn't help the injured soldier stop the bleeding.

"Military doctor! Military doctor! Where's the military doctor?" Liu Gen looked around, trying to find the doctor accompanying the army.

Many soldiers looked towards Liu Gen, and saw the soldiers in Liu Gen's arms, but because of the fighting, they quickly threw themselves into the battle again.

"Military doctor! Call the military doctor!" Liu Gen shouted loudly.

The next moment, a soldier took advantage of the gap between reloading, turned to Liu Gen and said, "The military doctor has died long ago, and we have no other military doctors."

Immediately, Liu Gen was stunned. He looked at the soldier who spoke, and he could see that the soldier's arm had been bandaged briefly. He could see that the bandage was not standard, and he probably bandaged it himself.Liu Gen looked at the other wounded soldiers, only then did he notice that their wounds were not treated to a standard.

Liu Gen hadn't considered this before. He saw that the wounds of the soldiers were not treated to a standard, but he thought it was because the wounded were too far away and the military doctors were too busy.But now, Liu Gen understood, he understood why this happened, he understood why the wounded soldiers stayed on the ground.

"Let's go! Let's go a little further!" After a moment of silence, Liu Gen put down the soldier he was holding in his arms. Without a military doctor, he had no choice but to see if the soldier could persevere on his own.

Liu Gen wanted to stay by the soldier's side, but he knew he couldn't do this. He needed to move on and find the specific location of the devil commander.Soldiers had already sacrificed for him, Liu Gen didn't want more warriors to die, he couldn't waste any more time.

Continue to walk forward quickly, this time Liu Gen's body is bent even lower, the devil soldiers are not idiots, once they find a chance to shoot, they will have to pay with their lives.

When he came to the front line of the battle in the infantry battalion, Liu Gen had no time to rest. He directly took out the binoculars and looked behind the devils.Liu Gen glanced at the devils in the rear, quickly memorizing the location of these devil soldiers in his mind, and calculated in his mind where the devil commander might be.

As the sun fell, the telescope in Liu Gen's hand reflected a bright light. Liu Gen's face changed drastically, and he lowered his head quickly. The next moment, a bullet hit the telescope in Liu Gen's hand.The bullet quickly penetrated the telescope and passed over Liu Gen's head. Liu Gen could almost feel the heat of the bullet.

Liu Gen took a deep breath, his heart was beating wildly, and he almost died.
