As for whether to give up on artillery battles with the Japanese, the artillery soldiers had never thought so. After training for so long, the artillery soldiers also wanted to prove themselves and prove that the artillery team had sufficient combat power. Even when facing the Japanese artillery, the artillery team had the power to fight! Of course, whether to engage in artillery battles with the Japanese still depends on the decision of the brigade commander.

After the artillery positions were arranged, Liu Gen led the soldiers to study the possible hidden positions of the Japanese artillery. He needed to make the soldiers prepare in advance. Liu Gen did not directly express his speculation. He only expressed his guess after the soldiers discussed it. The soldiers did a good job, and the guessed several places were the same as Liu Gen, but there was one location that they did not expect.

Captain, it shouldn't be possible for the Japanese to hide there, right? The last place you mentioned is less than 500 meters away from the front line. The Japanese artillery soldiers are in this position, right? Yungui looked at Liu Gen and asked in confusion.

Liu Gen looked at the other soldiers of the artillery team, and saw that the other soldiers had obvious doubts. They did not believe that the Japanese artillery would be in that position. With the combat effectiveness of the Japanese artillery, there was no need to take risks at all. Once the Japanese artillery was in that position, as long as the 386th Brigade took the initiative to launch an attack and advanced 500 meters, they could see the Japanese artillery. This risk was too great.

Do you all think so? Looking at the soldiers of the artillery team, Liu Gen asked.

The soldiers of the artillery team looked at you and I looked at me, and they all fell silent. This was almost their common idea. The artillery of the Japanese was not a fool, so how could they place the artillery position in that position?

Among the soldiers, Zhang Jun raised his head and was silent for a moment. He took a step and said loudly: I think you are right in captain. The Japanese artillery is very likely to be in this position. Even the Japanese artillery has a 70% chance of being there.

What do you know?

That's right, Zhang Jun, don't talk nonsense.

Seeing Zhang Jun speak, the other soldiers of the artillery team couldn't help but speak. In their opinion, Zhang Jun said this completely to please Captain Liu Gen. He didn't have much favor to Zhang Jun and the artillery team soldiers. Even if Zhang Jun had some changes during this period, it would undoubtedly take longer to make the soldiers accept Zhang Jun again.

Quiet! This is how you treat your teammates? Is Zhang Jun not a member of our artillery team? Liu Gen's cold eyes swept over the soldiers, making the soldiers look shaking and dare not say anything again.

Liu Gen turned to look at Zhang Jun and said: Zhang Jun, tell me your opinion, why are the Japanese artillery soldiers in that position?

The soldiers looked at Zhang Jun again, and were scolded by Liu Gen, so they naturally did not dare to say anything. The soldiers looked at Zhang Jun, and they wanted to see what Zhang Jun could say, but a few of them lowered their heads and began to constantly think about why the Japanese set up the artillery position in that position. If Liu Gen's speculation was successful and the Japanese artillery was really in that position, it only means that this position could bring more advantages to the Japanese and that the Japanese artillery could re-exert their combat power.

Captain, I didn’t expect this position at first, but I only understood after you pointed it out.

Let’s take a look at the position pointed out by the captain is only about 500 meters away from the front line, and the terrain here is suitable for the hiding of the Japanese artillery positions. And most importantly, once the Japanese artillery positions are set up in this position, the Japanese artillery fire can cover the surrounding areas, and can easily hit the shells to the rear of our Eighth Route Army, cutting off our retreat.
