Chapter 264: Keep an Eye on the Devils Artillery (Fifty Months)
"Damn it! The Japanese are preparing to attack our Eighth Route Army headquarters, our 129th Division, and the Northern Bureau? The Japanese are so brave!" The brigade commander looked solemn. This time the Japanese are coming to the real world.
The Japanese are not fools. From the mobilization of various Eighth Route Army units, the Japanese can easily find the area where the Eighth Route Army headquarters is located. The 129th Division is an old opponent of the Japanese. The Japanese also collected specific information of the various units of the 129th Division. This time, the Japanese sent four infantry brigades to sweep the situation just to determine their guesses.
As for whether the four infantry brigades will be directly annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese are still confident enough. Besides, with the combat effectiveness of the four infantry brigades of the Japanese, it will take a certain amount of time even if the Eighth Route Army wants to annihilate the Japanese from the four infantry brigades.
Once the four infantry brigades of the Japanese are surrounded, the 36th Division and the Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Wu'an, Liao County, Wuxiang, Lucheng and other places will inevitably strike decisively and come to pick up the surrounded Japanese army. With the combat effectiveness of the 129th Division, if you want to face so many Japanese, you will not be able to stay.
"The Japanese should just want to attack our Eighth Route Army headquarters. The Japanese's intentions were not obvious before, but now looking at the Japanese troops marked on the map, you can see that they are forming a huge encirclement. It seems that the Japanese want to solve us in one go! I just don't know if the Japanese have such a good tooth!" Ding Wei said in a deep voice.
The other commanders looked solemn. They had confidence in their own combat power, but they would not despise the Japanese at all. Since the Japanese were ready to do this, they naturally made sufficient preparations. Now even if the 386th Brigade guessed the Japanese's intentions, they could not stop the formation of the Japanese encirclement. The Japanese were too cunning.
Liu Gen's expression was also quite solemn. Thinking of the troops that the Japanese kept mobilizing during this period, he knew that once the Japanese launched an attack on the area where the Eighth Route Army headquarters was located, it would probably be a bit difficult to rely on the current situation of the Eighth Route Army. After all, the 129th Division troops have fought a lot of battles during this period, and casualties are inevitable.
When the troops cannot be replenished, it is difficult for the 129th Division to resist the attack of the large Japanese troops. Of course, even so, the 129th Division has the power to fight. What's more, facing the large Japanese troops, the 129th Division's troops will not choose to fight head-on, and guerrilla warfare is what the Eighth Route Army is best at. In addition, there are hills and forests everywhere in the base area, and if the Japanese want to enter the center of the base area, the casualties will definitely not be small.
"Now it seems that we must kill these attacking Japanese devils as much as possible! Now killing some Japanese devils, we can also be more relaxed in the next battle." A brigade commander had a clear murderous intent. He knew the purpose of the Japanese, so it was actually simple to crack it, that is, to constantly kill the Japanese's living power, making them unable to attack the base.
The brigade commander wanted to find an opportunity to kill some of the Japanese attackers. Now that he guessed the Japanese's combat intentions, the brigade commander was even more prepared to kill as many Japanese as possible! Killing Japanese Japanese is always the right choice. Only by hurting these Japanese Japanese will they not dare to enter the base easily.
"Gen! Next, we need to look at your artillery team. I will slam these Japanese gangsters. All troops must cooperate and kill as many Japanese as possible!" The brigade commander looked at Liu Gen and spoke directly.
Liu Gen's expression became serious and he saluted, "Yes! Ensure that the task is completed!"
Li Yunlong and others nodded and said that they knew the Japanese's combat intentions, so they naturally knew how to do it. Li Yunlong and others were good at fighting. As long as Liu Gen's artillery team could kill the Japanese artillery and destroy some of the Japanese firepower points, they would definitely rush forward with the soldiers! In the Artillery Company of the Independent Regiment, Liu Gen could kill the Japanese artillery. Now that Liu Gen took over the artillery team, he would definitely do better.
"Root! Wait for your artillery team's actions! The soldiers of the Independent Corps have been ready for battle."
"Captain Liu, I hope your artillery team can show its power and let the Japanese feel our artillery fire."
“…
Feeling the gazes of Li Yunlong and others looking at him, Liu Gen smiled bitterly, and the pressure was too great. Liu Gen could think that the artillery team could do well, but once it could not do well, even if the brigade commander did not punish him, Li Yunlong and others would say something.
"Don't worry! I won't let you down! Brigade Commander, I'm going to prepare!" Liu Gen said very seriously.
The artillery team is under great pressure, but in Liu Gen's opinion, it is nothing. The artillery team came here just to deal with the Japanese artillery. Without the need for brigade commander and Li Yunlong and others to speak, Liu Gen would also command the artillery team to kill the Japanese artillery. Now that he knew the situation of the Japanese, Liu Gen was preparing to launch an artillery attack on the Japanese immediately. Of course, the mortar that was first used would definitely not be the first to use.
Since these Japanese did not carry mountain cannons and field cannons, Liu Gen is also preparing to let these Japanese taste the power of mountain cannons. With the range of mountain cannons, it is enough to keep the Japanese sobbing while ensuring their own safety. As for the mortars and infantry cannons not far from the front line, they are staring at the Japanese artillery. Once the traces of Japanese artillery are found, they will directly open fire to kill them. The Japanese divide the artillery into two parts, and Liu Gen also divides the artillery into two parts. The soldiers perform their duties and keep a close eye on the Japanese artillery. Unless the Japanese also have mountain cannons and field cannons, they will not be the opponent of the artillery!
Leaving the front line command center, Liu Gen rushed towards the artillery team quickly. He was very fast and returned to the artillery team in less than five minutes.
When Liu Gen returned to the artillery team, he could see that the soldiers were waiting for him. They calculated the data needed for artillery attack again and prepared to hand it over to the captain Liu Gen to check. After taking the data handed over by the soldiers, Liu Gen quickly looked at it and could see that the soldiers had put a lot of effort into this time, and most of the data were correct. For the soldiers, it was good to calculate such an artillery attack angle, but in Liu Gen's view, the soldiers still had a lot of room for improvement.
"It's not bad! It can be seen that everyone has put their heart into it. Everyone prepare for it and launch an attack on the Japanese artillery in ten minutes!" Liu Gen looked at the soldiers of the artillery team and said seriously.
The smiles on the soldiers' faces dissipated and their faces became solemn. The attack on the Japanese artillery will not be easy. Once an artillery battle with the Japanese, casualties will inevitably occur. The soldiers looked firm. They clenched their fists, looked at the captain Liu Gen, waiting for Liu Gen's order!
"Yungui! You bring five squads of soldiers to control mountain cannons and launch a direct attack on the artillery exposed by the Japanese! Here are the corresponding artillery data, as a reference! In addition, the brigade department will have a company of soldiers to protect you. Do it according to daily training and try not to make mistakes! After killing the Japanese artillery, you can bombard them at will. At most, you can only knock out five base shells, saving some effort." Liu Gen ordered!
Yunnan and Guizhou took a step forward with a serious expression, "Please ensure that the task is completed!"
"Very good! Launch a shelling in ten minutes! Go!" Liu Gen said.
Yunnan and Guizhou left with five squads of soldiers. The remaining soldiers looked at Liu Gen, wanting to know what their mission was.
"The remaining soldiers are responsible for the mortar positions! Keep a close eye on the artillery that the Japanese have not exposed. Once exposed, then we will launch the artillery decisively. This time we will try to kill all the artillery that Japanese artillery!" Liu Gen said again.
Chapter completed!
