I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 65 Enlightenment

Back at the position of the Second Battalion, Liu Gen saw Ding Wei and others waiting for him, and seeing the wounds on the soldiers of the artillery company that were simply bandaged, Ding Wei understood what happened to the artillery company.

"Genzi, your artillery company is very good. I saw the devil's mortar was killed by you. In addition, the soldiers who were observing on the front line also saw the devil's artillery position successfully killed by you! You are all good! Ding Wei patted Liu Gen on the shoulder vigorously, and praised him.

Liu Gen raised his head and showed a stiff smile. The death of soldiers from the artillery company let him know that he still has many shortcomings.If, as the commander of the artillery company, he had realized earlier that the devils attacking at the front also had mortars in their hands, perhaps those soldiers would not have died.

Seeing that Liu Gen and Liu Gen were in a low mood, Ding Wei could understand Liu Gen's feelings. When he first led the soldiers to fight, he also experienced the same situation as Liu Gen.Ding Wei believes that it won't take long for Liu Gen to recover, all he needs is time.

When he came to every soldier of the artillery company, Ding Wei enlightened the soldiers that the artillery company had already exceeded Ding Wei's expectations to achieve such a record.It is even said that in the artillery battle with the devils, the casualties of the artillery company were not too large, which surprised Ding Wei.

"Comrades of the artillery company, you have done a good job. If it is not your artillery company, then our regiment will have to face even greater pressure, and the devil's artillery will continue to attack us. In war, sacrifice is impossible. Avoid it, and I hope everyone understands that."

"We who are still alive bear greater responsibilities. We must work harder to kill the enemy and avenge the dead comrades! In the war, you, your company commander, and me, the regiment commander, may die ! But do we give up fighting because we are afraid of death? This is impossible!"

"Comrades, I hope you can cheer up again and don't let the dead comrades down. In the next battle, your artillery company still has a lot to do, and the soldiers of our regiment still want your artillery support! Depression is unavoidable, but I hope comrades can understand that death will happen all the time, and the only thing we can do is to kill and injure as many enemies as possible before we die! Comrades, this is war! For our nation ! For our country! We cannot retreat! Only fight to the death!"

"..."

The soldiers with the artillery company hid the two infantry cannons. Liu Gen could see that the soldiers were in better condition. Ding Wei, the head of the regiment, still helped a lot.When hiding the infantry artillery, Liu Gen chose to scatter and hide it, and the shells were also scattered.

Liu Gen knew that the devil's artillery position was destroyed, and the artillery company brought such a big loss to the devil, which would undoubtedly make the devil angry!Next, the new regiment will definitely usher in more violent artillery bombardment from the devils. It's okay that the artillery company needs to hide for a while.

Although the devil's infantry artillery was successfully destroyed by the artillery company, the devil will soon be able to transport more artillery. With this lesson, the devil's artillery position will definitely be arranged more concealed.It will undoubtedly become more difficult for the artillery company to destroy the devil's artillery position again.

But Liu Gen didn't worry too much. No matter how many artillery pieces the Devil had, they couldn't destroy the Xinyi regiment.The new group will be firmly nailed to this area, unless the devils retreat.Otherwise, the new group will never let the devils advance successfully!In the surrounding areas of Lin County and Xing County, many troops are fighting against the devils, and the pressure faced by the devils in other directions is not small.

The devils couldn't deploy too many troops and firepower into the battle at Gedonggou Mountain, and the devils in other directions also needed to have enough artillery support.

On the front line, after being bombarded by the artillery company, the squadron leader in charge of the offensive command was killed, and the devils chose to retreat.The soldiers of the first battalion were extremely tenacious in fighting, and caused a lot of casualties to the devils. Dozens of dead devils fell in front of the first battalion's position.

In the hands of the first battalion alone, the devils lost nearly 200 people, and many were injured.Who let the first battalion set up so many mines and traps, so that the devils could only attack from the area where the engineers had laid out the mines. Facing the light and heavy machine guns of the first battalion, it is no wonder that the devils suffered few casualties.

The casualties of the first battalion were not small. In the battle with the devils, the first battalion suffered more than half of the casualties, which was still on the defensive side.Following Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao learned a lot, but even so, the first battalion still suffered a lot of casualties.After one battle, less than one-third of the soldiers in the first battalion could continue to fight, and many of them were injured.

It is also because the veterans in the first battalion accounted for the majority, and the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao did well enough, otherwise it would be difficult to resist the crazy attack of the devils with such a large number of casualties.The devil was able to rush into one battalion and take the position of the next battalion, but the sudden exertion of the artillery company made the devil dare not continue to fight.

The artillery of one's own side was destroyed, and if he continued to fight, he would only fall into the coverage of the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army. The devils were not stupid, so they naturally chose to retreat decisively.The soldiers of the first battalion were also powerless to pursue.

Nibbling the cold corn bread in his hand, Liu Gen drank a sip of water from time to time, trying to swallow the corn bread in his mouth, Liu Gen thought about the devil's attack next.Without enough artillery support, the devils would definitely not choose to advance rashly.

Looking at the soldiers around him, Liu Gen stood up and distributed the unfinished steamed buns to the soldiers beside him.

Quickly walking towards the headquarters where Ding Wei was, Liu Gen wanted to know what Ding Wei was going to do and what the artillery needed to do after connecting.In the next battle, the devils will inevitably become even crazier, and the defeat in the battle will only usher in an even crazier attack from the devils.

The combat power of the artillery company is limited, and the remaining shells are not too many, and the artillery support it can play will not be too great.However, the artillery without shells still has combat effectiveness. Liu Gen wants to know whether their artillery company can continue to fight on the front line!

When he came outside the headquarters, Liu Gen could see the busy regiment staff entering the headquarters. He saw Zhang Dabiao who had withdrawn from the position. Ding Wei, the regimental commander, was not at the headquarters and went to the front line to inspect.

"Brother Zhang, are you okay? Is the injury serious?" Seeing the bandage wrapped around Zhang Dabiao's arm, Liu Gen asked quickly.In battle, even a hero like Zhang Dabiao will inevitably be injured. He is not an iron man, and flesh and blood cannot stop bullets.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The injury is not serious. The bullet penetrated my arm. There is no bullet left in it. It won't have much impact. It's just that it's difficult to shoot." Zhang Dabiao said with a smile.

Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, in this case, it's okay.Compared with other soldiers who died, Zhang Dabiao was undoubtedly much luckier. It is a blessing to be able to survive the battle.

"Next, Brother Zhang, you should rest well and let us do the fighting." Liu Gen said softly.

"Recuperate? Recuperate for what? Genzi, do you look down on me? My arm is injured, but that doesn't mean I can't shoot a gun, I can still kill devils!" Zhang Dabiao was a little excited, and the fighting power of the first battalion was only left One third, most of the soldiers are still injured, how can he, the battalion commander, rest at ease!
