In the evening, the brigade commander and the brigade headquarters also came to this area. This time, the combat mission of the 86th Brigade was to capture the newly built Nanguan Railway Station by the Japanese.

At Nanguan Railway Station, the Japanese have many garrisons. In addition, the strongholds built by the Japanese along the railway forced the brigade commander to pay enough attention. Everyone knows that it will not be easy to capture Nanguan Railway Station, and the brigade commander also knows that this is a difficult bone, which is why the brigade commander chose to come and take charge in person.

Soon, soldiers came and informed Li Yunlong, the regiment commander, to go to the combat meeting and assign corresponding combat tasks.

Liu Gen and others could not go, so they could only wait patiently in the Independent Regiment. Of course, Liu Gen was not idle either. He took the soldiers of the artillery company to investigate and find positions suitable for the artillery company when fighting. Unlike ordinary soldiers, the soldiers of the artillery company would not easily rush to the front line, but this does not mean that the soldiers of the artillery company do not have to worry about their lives.

The Japanese attached so much importance to the Baijin Railway, and there would definitely be no shortage of mortars and heavy machine guns in their strongholds. With just a simple observation, Liu Gen could see that there were many Japanese in the Japanese strongholds, and each stronghold had dozens of Japanese. Relying on the strongholds, these Japanese could still cause considerable trouble to the Eighth Route Army. Even if the troops of the 86th Brigade successfully captured the Nanguan Railway Station, they would be surrounded by Japanese in these strongholds.

The political commissar Zhao Gang was not idle either. He was comforting some new recruits who had joined the Independent Regiment. On weekdays, these new recruits wanted to go to the battlefield, but before the battle began, many new recruits became nervous. Seeing this, Zhao Gang became busy. He needed to quickly adapt to the battlefield environment and keep them calm enough.

The deputy commander Kong Jie was not idle either. He dispersed many soldiers and maintained enough vigilance. It has to be said that after experiencing the battle in Yangcun, Kong Jie became much more cautious. There were mixed open and secret whistles and the number was not fixed, and only the deputy commander Kong Jie knew how many soldiers were guarding around him.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, the soldiers could only eat dry food and could not make fire to cook.

Liu Gen and the artillery company soldiers ate the dry food in their hands with cold water. After a few mouthfuls of water, he could swallow the dry food in his mouth. Liu Gen looked at the other soldiers and saw that many soldiers looked a little ugly. Such dry food was very uncomfortable to eat. But there was no way, the soldiers could only grit their teeth and eat the dry food, so that they would have enough physical strength at the beginning of the battle.

"Genzi, I'll give it to you!" Zhang Dabiao came to Liu Gen and took out some pickles.

Liu Gen's eyes lit up. It would be so happy to be able to eat some pickles on the battlefield. With pickles, Liu Gen's speed of eating dry food has become much faster. With pickles, it will at least make Liu Gen have a bit of taste when eating dry food.

"Genzi, when do you think we will attack?" Zhang Dabiao looked at Liu Gen and asked,

Liu Gen laughed, and he knew that it would not be so easy for Zhang Dabiao to come to find him. "It should be around the early morning tonight. All the regiments of our 86th Brigade rushed to the corresponding combat position and launched an attack directly in the early morning. This is suitable for us. By the day, with the crazy Japanese, they will definitely dispatch fighter jets to deal with the attack of our 86th Brigade!"

"Brother Zhang, you also know that we have no means to deal with the Japanese fighter jets. The only way we will take the Japanese Nanguan Railway Station tonight and then retreat in the morning to avoid too many casualties from soldiers."

"Not bad! Genzi, I really read you right." Zhang Dabiao laughed. Liu Gen's conclusion was similar to what Zhang Dabiao thought himself. The brigade commander ordered the regiments to arrive at the corresponding combat position this evening, undoubtedly trying to take action against the Japanese while the night is falling.

Thinking that the battle would start in the middle of the night, Zhang Dabiao looked at Liu Gen with some concern. In such night, can Liu Gen, the artillery, still maintain sufficient combat effectiveness? In the middle of the night, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult to control the infantry artillery to hit the Japanese shooting hole. Zhang Dabiao knew Liu Gen's previous performance in the battle, but he still couldn't help but worry about Liu Gen. This battle was very different from before.

When conducting artillery fire in the middle of the night, it is necessary to maintain sufficient accuracy and hit the Japanese shooting hole, which is probably difficult for Liu Gen to do.

Zhang Dabiao has observed that the shooting holes set up by the Japanese stronghold are in the shape of the eight-shaped figure outside, with a small inside and a large outside. Such a setting means that it will be more difficult for the shells to penetrate into the Japanese stronghold. When the artillery bombards, the size of the shooting holes in the stronghold is not calculated? It is small inside and large outside, which means that the shells may explode outside the Japanese stronghold and cannot enter the inside of the Japanese stronghold.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I'm fine. Brother Zhang, don't forget that the Japanese have to shoot. Only the Japanese shoot, so you can see where the Japanese shooting hole is located." Liu Genkai noticed Zhang Dabiao's concern and said with a smile.

Liu Gen looked at the moon in the sky and saw that the moonlight tonight was a little dim, which made him happy. Such a dim moonlight meant that it would be more difficult for the Japanese to discover the Type 92 infantry cannon, which would make it easier to catch the Japanese off guard. It seems that God is helping him.

Three hours later, Li Yunlong came back from the brigade commander, and his face was not very good.

This time, the brigade commander handed over the task of taking the Nanguan Railway Station to Cheng Xiazi of the 772nd Regiment. Cheng Xiazi also showed off her to Li Yunlong, which made Li Yunlong very angry. Damn, he was still Li Yunlong, and he was the one who taught him how to shoot. Now, Cheng Xiazi actually dared to compete with him for the mission with Li Yunlong! The more Li Yunlong thought about it, the more angry he became, why could Cheng Xiazi lead the 772nd Regiment to attack Nanguan Railway Station? His independent regiment needed to be responsible for cleaning up the Japanese strongholds in this area?

"Damn it! I'm so angry! What mission did the brigade commander give us the independent regiment? To remove the Japanese strongholds in this area. Damn, what's the difference between this and what we wanted to do to the Japanese strongholds around Yangcun before?" Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

Zhao Gang frowned. In his opinion, Li Yunlong was very angry. The brigade commander issued a combat mission, so the independent regiment would do it! Now Li Yunlong is yelling here that it will not play any role except for being upset. The brigade commander will not change his mind easily.

"Okay! Old Li, don't yell. It seems that you, Li Yunlong, have fallen out of favor with the brigade commander. Otherwise, you, Li Yunlong, will not even be able to compete for a good combat mission!" Kong Jie was also a little annoyed. Kong Jie thought that according to Li Yunlong's temperament, he would definitely be able to fight for a good mission from the brigade commander. Who knew that it would be a task to remove the Japanese stronghold. Such a mission was not enough for the independent regiment to get a gap between the teeth!

Li Yunlong widened his eyes, "Kong Erlangzi, are you still fucking blamed me? If I were still in the New First Regiment, would Cheng Weizi dare to compete for missions with me? The brigade commander would also hand over the task of attacking Nanguan Railway Station to Cheng Weizi? Isn't it that I came to the Independent Regiment, I will go to fight for missions. The brigade commander said that your Independent Regiment had just suffered a defeat, so it would be better to be responsible for cleaning up the Japanese stronghold first!"

"You said? How can I fight for it?"

Kong Jie was stunned, and in an instant, his eyes turned red, "Old Li! I, Kong Jie, defeated the battle with the Independent Regiment! Now I want to take the soldiers to win a battle and wash away the shame of our Independent Regiment! I want to tell the brigade commander that our Independent Regiment did not disappoint him! Our Independent Regiment will become the pride of the 86th Brigade! Lao Li! I need combat missions! The soldiers also need combat missions!"
