I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 583
Taking out the binoculars and looking in the direction of the devil's attack, Liu Gen could see that the devil's army was not strong, it should be just a devil's infantry squad.

It is impossible for a devil infantry squad to take down Nuanquan Town. Even the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion will surely be able to successfully defend Nuanquan.What's more, Nuanquan Town still has Battalion Commander Zhang, Xue Bing and others.

"Commander Wang, tell the comrades in the artillery battalion to hide in their positions. Unless the devils take the initiative to attack, we should not take the initiative to shoot."

"In addition, let another comrade go to Xue Bing and the others. For such a battle, let Xue Bing and the others go." Liu Gen put down the binoculars and ordered seriously.

Compared with the artillery battalion, the guards led by Xue Bing naturally had richer combat experience, and their marksmanship was comparable to that of the devil soldiers.With Xue Bing and others present, coupled with the existence of a defensive position, it is impossible for the devils to charge forward.

Battalion Commander Wang showed obvious helplessness on his face. He knew that Liu Gen would not let the artillery battalion easily participate in such a battle, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.As soldiers, after going to the battlefield, they are ready to sacrifice at any time.

Now, because of their status as artillerymen, Liu Gen will try his best to protect their lives.

By doing this, Liu Gen did reduce the artillery battalion's casualties, but for the soldiers of the artillery battalion, Liu Gen's protection was a disgrace to them, and only the weak needed protection.

The soldiers of the Artillery Battalion did not want to be considered weak by Liu Gen. They did not want to be protected by Liu Gen all the time. They were not afraid of sacrifice, but they were afraid that they would not have the chance to participate in the battle.

"Battalion Commander Wang, don't think too much, I understand what you think."

"You are not allowed to participate in the battle now because you need to hide temporarily, so as to cause more damage to the devils."

"What's more, the devils are not stupid. This devil infantry squad must have discovered our defensive position. At most, they will only try to attack, and they will not easily attack with all their strength."

"..."

Battalion Commander Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and his frown relaxed. He knew that Liu Gen was right. The chances of the devils directly attacking with all their strength were very small, and the artillery battalion still had many chances to fight.Battalion Commander Wang didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly arranged Liu Gen's order. The soldiers of the artillery battalion were a little puzzled, but they still hid directly in the position, and no one showed their faces.

Xue Bing and others quickly rushed to the position. After learning that this was Liu Gen's order, Xue Bing and the soldiers of the guard company came to the position without any hesitation.When they came to Nuanquan Town, Xue Bing and others wanted to fight the devils. Now that they had the chance to fight, Xue Bing and the others couldn't wait.

After entering the position, Xue Bing looked directly in the direction of the devil's attack, and was a little disappointed when he found that it was just a devil's infantry squad.Xue Bing thought it was because of how many devils attacked that Liu Gen directly used their guard company, but who knew it was just a devil's infantry squad.

Xue Bing hadn't put a devil's infantry squad in his eyes yet. He clearly knew that even if it was a direct confrontation with the guard company, the devil's infantry squad would not pose much threat.Now that there is a strong enough defensive position, it will be easier for Xue Bing and others to deal with this devil infantry squad.

Liu Gen looked at the soldiers of the guard company who entered the position. He could see that these soldiers looked serious, and they were not slack or careless because the devil was just an infantry squad.

"Xue Bing, you kid, let me be serious! Don't be careless!" Liu Gen yelled at Xue Bing.

From Xue Bing's performance in the formation, Liu Gen could see that Xue Bing didn't take this devil infantry squad seriously. Xue Bing was good at everything, but he was a little too proud.In battle, pride is not advisable, too proud, it is easy to lose one's life in battle.

"Yes!" Xue Bing straightened his expression, not daring to continue being proud.

Xue Bing didn't look back, but he was sure that Liu Gen was watching his every move closely. If something went wrong, he would be punished by Liu Gen immediately.

The Devil Infantry Squad approached quickly, and when they were 300 meters away from Nuanquan Town, the Devil Infantry Squad stopped immediately.The devil infantry team was very cautious. They discovered the changes in Nuanquan Town and the defensive positions outside Nuanquan Town.

After a brief observation of the defensive position outside Nuanquan Town, the leader of the devil squad decisively ordered the other devil soldiers to stay where they were, waiting for the arrival of other troops.

"It seems that this Devil Squad is a bit smart, and they don't have any tentative attack ideas at all." Liu Gen saw a smile in his eyes when he saw that the Devil Soldiers chose to settle down.

Battalion Commander Wang nodded. Judging from the performance of this devil team, it is indeed a bit smart.Battalion Commander Wang is very clear about the situation of the reinforced defensive position. It is impossible for a devil infantry squad to take down the defensive position, and there will only be worthless casualties.

"Xue Bing, your chance to perform has come. I want to see how much combat power the guard company can display in your hands!" Liu Gen looked at Xue Bing and said with some expectation.

Needless to say, Xue Bing's personal strength, among the people present, there are not many people who can defeat Xue Bing with confidence.Now, Liu Gen wanted to take a look at Xue Bing's command ability. With the situation of the guard company, it still required a certain level of command to take the initiative to attack the Zongzi infantry squad.

A truly capable commander needs to cause as much damage to the enemy as possible while reducing his own casualties with limited troops.Only in this way can one be called a capable commander. Liu Gen hopes that Xue Bing will be such a commander.

In the position, Xue Bing was taken aback for a moment. He didn't react at first, but when he did, he glanced at Liu Gen excitedly, and then quickly arranged for the next guard company to take the initiative to attack.

Xue Bing didn't understand why Liu Gen asked the guard company to take the initiative to attack, but since Liu Gen gave such an order, Xue Bing naturally wanted to do his best so that Liu Gen could see his ability.Not being directly led by Liu Gen to participate in the battle, Xue Bing knew that it would be dangerous for him to stay with Liu Gen as a guard.

Otherwise, as Liu Gen's guard, how could he not be taken by Liu Gen?
Xue Bing also knew why Liu Gen was dissatisfied with him. This time he brought the guard company to Nuanquan Town, just to make up for his impression in Liu Gen's eyes. He needed to let Liu Gen see his own abilities. Only in this way can he stay.

With Xue Bing's ability, as long as he wanted to, he would have no problem going to any unit of the 120th Division.But Xue Bing knew that only by staying with Liu Gen could he learn more and improve more.

The army worships the strong, Liu Gen is a strong in Xue Bing's eyes, and he has been unable to surpass the strong in a short time!
After the simple arrangement, Xue Bing led some soldiers of the guard company directly to the position of the devil infantry squad. The remaining soldiers of the guard company held machine guns and were ready to shoot at any time to support Xue Bing with firepower. .

Seeing Xue Bing's arrangement, Liu Gen was quite satisfied. He could see that Xue Bing was not a reckless man, and he knew to leave some soldiers from the guard company.

Xue Bing and others stopped when they were 200 meters away from the devil infantry team. They took out the [-] rifles they carried with them, took aim quickly, and chose to shoot.

There was a bang of gunfire, and the gunfire was not too dense. Anyone could tell that there were not many people who fired.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Captain Guizi immediately gave the order to retreat. From the sound of gunshots, he could tell the direction Xue Bing and the others were in, but Captain Guizi had no intention of fighting back.

After leaving behind twenty or thirty corpses, the Devil Infantry Squad completed its retreat. In a short period of time, the Devil Infantry Squad lost nearly half of it.

The marksmanship exposed by Xue Bing and others was too precise, so that the leader of the devil squad had no idea of ​​counter-shooting on the spot. He knew that staying to shoot at each other might cause certain casualties to Xue Bing and others.

But if he stayed, it would also allow his infantry squad to be left intact.

Withdrew to a relatively open area, the devil's squad leader's face was particularly ugly, he did not launch an attempt to attack, he was indeed smart.But the next attack made Captain Guizi realize his own shortcomings. He underestimated the Eighth Route Army troops defending Nuanquan Town.

Captain Guizi didn't think that the Eighth Route Army troops in Nuanquan Town would take the initiative to launch an attack. In his impression, the Eighth Route Army troops would not have any courage to fight head-on with the Imperial Japanese Army, but who knew that this Eighth Route Army troops would choose to take the initiative? attack.

"Again for help! Request the headquarters to send an infantry brigade to come to support, Nuanquan Town is very likely to have the main force of the Eighth Route Army!" Captain Guizi ordered angrily.

The devil's communication soldier seized the time to send out the call for help. Judging from the Eighth Route Army who fired just now, there should not be many Eighth Route Army troops in Nuanquan Town.But the devil's communicator knew that he only needed to do his job well.

As for whether there is a main force of the Eighth Route Army in Nuanquan Town, after the Imperial Japanese Army troops take Nuanquan Town, they will naturally have an answer.

The ghost captain once again ordered the ghost soldiers to stay and rest, but this time, the ghost captain was more cautious. Even if he was resting, he also arranged a certain amount of ghost soldiers to guard against being touched by Xue Bing and others again.

Seeing that there was no chance to continue attacking, Xue Bing led the soldiers back to the position. Due to the constant staring of the devils, Xue Bing and the others were unable to clean up the battlefield smoothly. It's hard to get over.

Xue Bing didn't take the risk to do it, and he was very satisfied with being able to successfully kill twenty or thirty devils while taking advantage of the devil's unpreparedness.
