Chapter 347 Kong Jie's invitation
Saying goodbye to Dean Li, Liu Gen wandered around the border hospital casually, and was also trying to find Kong Jie.
After staying in the border hospital for so long, he finally saw Kong Jie, an acquaintance. Liu Gen naturally wanted to talk to him. In the previous battle of Guan Jiadian, Liu Gen was unable to participate. Now when he met Kong Jie, he naturally wanted to understand the specific situation of the battle of Guan Jiadian.
The Okazaki Brigade, which successfully killed the Japanese, has caused a great deterrence to the Japanese who swept the base. In the past few days, Liu Gen has heard that the Japanese troops have been withdrawing from the base.
The Japanese consumed a lot of money when carrying out mobilization in the base area. Not to mention the Japanese killed by the Eighth Route Army, it was difficult to replenish supplies on ordinary occasions. The terrain in the anti-Japanese base area was complex, and if the Japanese wanted to replenish supplies, they had to return to the corresponding stronghold. However, in the depths of the anti-Japanese base area, there was no Japanese stronghold at all, so it was naturally impossible to replenish supplies.
The Okazaki Brigade of the Japanese had previously used up to fight with the Eighth Route Army units due to the sweeping in the base area. It consumed a lot of materials and ammunition, which made them have no choice but to defend in the Guanjiaya area and were unable to take out the encirclement formed by the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
"Deputy Commander Kong, good morning, how is your injury recovering?" Liu Gen asked respectfully when he came to Kong Jie.
Liu Gen was quite respectful to Kong Jie. He knew that Kong Jie was a good player in fighting Japanese devils. He had stayed in the Independent Regiment as deputy commander for Li Yunlong because of the faction that there were too many casualties in the Yangcun battle and they were defeated. In addition, Li Yunlong pleaded for mercy, Kong Jie was left in the Independent Regiment as deputy commander by the division commander. If it weren't for Li Yunlong pleading, then even if Kong Jie made a lot of contributions, he would probably have started as battalion commander again, or even company commander.
"The injury has recovered well, and it should be fine in a few days." Kong Jie was also a little happy to see Liu Gen arrive.
There are many patients in the border hospitals, but Kong Jie doesn’t know many people. He usually walks by himself. Now that Liu Gen comes, he can chat with him alone. Kong Jie admires Liu Gen very much. Whether it is in the artillery company of the Independent Regiment or the artillery team of the brigade, Liu Gen does a good job. The soldiers of the artillery team of the brigade have received artillery teams in Liu Gen, and their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.
Thinking of the key role played by the brigade artillery soldiers in the battle of Guanjiadian, Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen with a little more passion. Liu Gen was a talent, so it would be better if he could be with him. But Kong Jie knew that this was impossible. With Liu Gen's achievements, he had long received attention from the headquarters.
The brigade commander was still the strong demands of the brigade commander. This time Liu Gen was injured again. I wonder if the headquarters would let Liu Gen go to the front line. With Liu Gen's talent, even if he was unable to go to the battlefield, he could do a lot of things. All units of the Eighth Route Army need sufficient artillery, and Liu Gen could undoubtedly cultivate a large number of excellent artillery.
"Deputy Commander Kong, I wonder if you can tell me about the battle in Guanjiadian? I want to know the specific situation." Looking at Kong Jie, Liu Gen asked tentatively.
Liu Gen didn't know if there was anything that could not be said in the battle of Guan Jiadian. If there was something that could not be said, then Liu Gen would naturally be a little unpleasant to ask.
"Haha, I knew you were going to ask, and I will talk to you today." Kong Jie said with a smile.
Kong Jie still had some understanding of Liu Gen. Liu Gen would definitely not help asking such a victory in the Guanjiadao Battle. Kong Jie didn't mind explaining it in detail for Liu Gen. If it weren't for the precise artillery warriors in the battle, then the soldiers would have more casualties during the attack on the Japanese Okazaki Brigade.
Kong Jie said in detail about the battle of Guan Jiadian for Liu Gen. When listening to Kong Jie's explanation, Liu Gen's brows frowned from time to time. Perhaps it was because Liu Gen was a bystander that he felt that there were many problems in the battle of Guan Jiadian, and some places could do better.
However, the battle of Guan Jiadian has ended, and even if Liu Gen says something, it will not work. What's more, Liu Gen believes that the bosses of the headquarters will definitely pay attention to the problems existing in the battle of Guan Jiadian.
In the battle of Guanjiadao, the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, but the casualties were still within an acceptable range. It is still worth it to use these casualties to kill the Japanese. I just don’t know how many seized in the battle of Guanjiadao, and I hope it can be seized more.
Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen and was not surprised to see that Liu Gen's face was not very good. After the battle, all units reviewed the battle and found many problems, including Liu Gen's artillery team many times.
In the past, all units of the 129th Division had heard of Liu Gen's name and knew that Liu Gen's artillery skills were quite strong, but they rarely cared about the artillery team led by Liu Gen. In this Guanjiadian Battle, all units clearly saw the strength of the artillery team, and other units also had artillery, but compared with the artillery team led by Liu Gen, it was undoubtedly much worse.
"In fact, it's already very good to be able to achieve such a battle."
"You also know that during this period, our troops have fought frequently. The combat effectiveness of each unit is not at its peak, and casualties are inevitable. Besides, the Okazaki Brigade discovered our Huangya Cave Arsenal, so we must not let them leave alive!" Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen and comforted him.
Liu Gen nodded, and he naturally knew this, but even though he knew this, he was still unacceptable to the casualties of the soldiers. However, Liu Gen also knew that there would inevitably be casualties in the war. The Okazaki brigade who could kill the Japanese was also killed.
"By the way, don't you know if the arsenal has suffered a lot?" Liu Gen asked again at Kong Jie.
Kong Jie saw the concern on Liu Gen's face and did not understand why Liu Gen was so worried, but he still explained: "I'm not very clear. Our independent regiment has been fighting the Japanese on the front line and I don't know much about the arsenal. I think the loss will not be too great. After receiving the news reported by our brigade, the headquarters directly ordered various agencies to transfer, and the arsenal was also included."
"When the Japanese Okazaki Brigade arrived at the arsenal, most of the things in the arsenal were transferred."
Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. It was better that the arsenal's losses were not great. He had just drawn the drawings of the mortar and was about to hand them over to the relevant personnel of the arsenal for inspection and started production. Naturally, he did not want to be affected in any way.
"Genzi, after I recover this time, I shouldn't be able to return to the independent regiment. How about it? Do you want to form a new infantry regiment with me?" Kong Jie suddenly asked.
Chapter completed!
