Chapter 442: First-class merit award order
When Liu Gen arrived at the headquarters, he found that the brigade commander had also arrived at the headquarters. In this battle, the 386th Brigade inevitably suffered certain casualties.
This time when the brigade commander came to the headquarters, he also received the order from the bosses to ask the brigade commander to come and report on the relevant situation of the 386th Brigade.
When he saw Liu Gen again, the brigade commander was a little surprised. He did not expect that he would meet Liu Gen at the headquarters. He knew that the Huangyadong Arsenal had been besieged by the Japanese. Among them, the 386th Brigade also participated in many troops. During this period, the brigade commander also reported to the division commander that he wanted to go to the Huangyadong area for support, but was rejected by the division commander and they received more important combat missions.
There are still many troops around Huangya Cave. If you really need to provide support to Huangya Cave Arsenal, you don’t need to use the 386th Brigade.
The head of the headquarters and the division commanders knew clearly the combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade, so they naturally had more important combat tasks to hand over to them. In the end, the 386th Brigade participated in the important task of blocking the enemy's reinforcements.
In order to deal with the Japanese reinforcements to the Huangyadong area, the various units of the 386th Brigade were particularly difficult to fight, especially on the 18th and 19th, the Japanese reinforcements were even more crazy and wanted to break through the 386th Brigade's defense line. If the 386th Brigade's combat effectiveness was not strong enough, the Japanese would have really been able to successfully break through the 386th Brigade's defense line.
"Hello brigade commander!" When Liu Gen saw the brigade commander, he saluted seriously.
Liu Gen found that the brigade commander seemed to have lost weight. The 386th Brigade was the main force of the 129th Division and has been active at the forefront of the battle. During this period, the Japanese's crazy sweep of the base area put a great pressure on the 386th Brigade on the front line. The brigade commander needed to be responsible for the mobilization of the entire 386th Brigade to avoid head-on battles with the Japanese. This consumed a lot of his energy, and it was normal to lose weight.
"Genzi, why are you at the headquarters? Didn't Huangyadong Arsenal just be attacked by the Japanese? You should need to participate in the reconstruction of Huangyadong Arsenal now, right?" The brigade commander carefully looked at Liu Gen and confirmed that Liu Gen was still very complete, with no missing part on his body.
Liu Gen's expression became heavier. Thinking of the current situation of Huangyadong Arsenal, the joy that arises from seeing the brigade commander dissipated a lot.
"The situation in the arsenal is a bit bad. The Japanese used their continuous shells to launch a large number of shellings to the area where the arsenal is located. It is somewhat impossible to restore the arsenal in a short time."
"In addition, the Japanese have discovered the specific location of the arsenal. Continuing to keep the arsenal there is probably not a good choice. No one knows whether the Japanese will launch an attack again." Liu Gen said with a wry smile.
The brigade commander nodded and his expression became solemn. He knew that it was not a real difficulty, so Liu Gen would not say that. Thinking of the ammunition supply problem of the frontline troops, the brigade commander was a little more worried. This battle successfully annihilated many Japanese and seized a lot of weapons and equipment from the Japanese. However, in terms of ammunition supply, the troops did not gain enough.
If the Japanese did not get enough ammunition, then each unit could only rely on the arsenal in the rear for replenishment. But now, with the situation of the Huangyadong Arsenal, can it really fully meet the ammunition needs of the frontline troops? You must know that the ammunition needed by the frontline troops is not a small amount. Before, when the Huangyadong Arsenal was not damaged, it would be okay to create enough ammunition, but now does the Huangyadong Arsenal have such capabilities?
"The restoration of the arsenal is imperative. Without the arsenal, the ammunition replenishment of each unit is a problem."
"As for the current level of importance the Japanese attach to our Eighth Route Army, our troops do not dare to do anything too big. If there is no big move, then it will be a problem to get enough ammunition. I hope you and the relevant personnel of the arsenal can solve this problem." The brigade commander looked at Liu Gen and said seriously.
Liu Gen smiled bitterly, looked at the brigade commander helplessly, and couldn't help but say, "Brigade Commander, your expectations for me are too high."
Seeing the difficult look on Liu Gen's face, the brigade commander smiled, "Genzi, how can I not know your kid's ability? I believe that with your joining the arsenal, you will definitely be able to solve this problem in the shortest time."
"We can tell us anything we need. If we stay on the front line, we can still get some good things."
Liu Gen looked at the brigade commander in surprise. He listened to the brigade commander's words and felt that it was particularly strange. He felt that it was not the brigade commander in front of him, but Li Yunlong. When did the brigade commander become such a scoundrel? Liu Gen was a little helpless, but he knew that the problem of the arsenal must be solved. The more difficult the time was, the more the arsenal should fully play its role.
"Okay!; Brigade Commander, I remember what you said! Don't admit it when you are!" Liu Gen said directly.
The brigade commander was slightly stunned, realizing that something seemed wrong, and the promise he made seemed to be fine. As long as the arsenal could meet the ammunition needs of the 386th Brigade, then he would get some good things from the front line for the employees of the arsenal, and the 386th Brigade still had the ability. Even the brigade commander felt that if Liu Gen could send a rocket to Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong would definitely get Liu Gen a Japanese girl.
As long as he can get weapons and ammunition from the arsenal, Li Yunlong is willing to do anything, that is, Li Yunlong has no sister, otherwise he might have introduced it to Liu Gen long ago.
"Let's go, let's go to see the boss and the commander together to see what they have to give." The brigade commander said.
Liu Gen naturally had no objection. He followed the brigade commander, chatting about each other's current situation, and walked quickly towards the area where the bosses were. Along the way, Liu Gen could see busy soldiers, who were constantly transporting various supplies, most of which were seized from the battle to defend Huangya Cave.
After the secret service group left a part of the seizure, the remaining seizures were sent to the headquarters. Among the seizures sent by various troops, the seizures sent by the special service group were undoubtedly the best. Who made the special service group kill so many Japanese soldiers? In addition, the Japanese were too busy when retreating and threw down many heavy weapons. These were all in the hands of the special service group and became the seizures of the special service group.
Looking at the brigade commander beside him, Liu Gen could see that there seemed to be a light in the brigade commander's eyes. Seeing so many seizures, he wanted to bring these seizures back to the 386th Brigade.
When we came to the headquarters, we met the busy bosses. After the battle, the bosses had a lot of things to do, and there were too many things that they needed to deal with. From the smallest distribution of the captured to the largeest ways of how the Eighth Route Army should deal with the revenge of the Japanese in the next way, they were all issues that the bosses needed to study. Compared with the bosses, Liu Gen and the others were relatively relaxed, and the things they needed to do were much simpler.
"Report!"
"Report!"
Liu Gen and the brigade commander shouted in unison, attracting the attention of the bosses. When they saw that it was Liu Gen and the brigade commander, a hint of smile appeared on their faces.
In this battle, Liu Gen and the brigade commander performed very well. Liu Gen led the artillery of the spy regiment to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery mountain artillery, reducing the pressure on the spy regiment to defend Huangya Cave. The brigade commander successfully completed the enemy reinforcement task arranged by the headquarters with the 386th Brigade, and the casualties were not that great, which made the bosses very satisfied.
"Why are you two coming together? Isn't Genzi right in Huangya Cave? You should have come earlier." The deputy chief of staff came to Liu Gen and the brigade commander Shen Qian and asked with a smile.
Liu Gen quickly answered: "That's right. When I set off, I assigned the next tasks to the students of the Arsenal Artillery Department and the Artillery School, so I set off relatively late."
The deputy chief of staff nodded. No wonder Liu Gen was able to meet with the brigade commander. Looking at Liu Gen in front of him, the deputy chief of staff was filled with appreciation. In the battle report of the secret service, he clearly saw Commander Ou's praise for Liu Gen, and also clearly saw how much role an artillery as powerful as Liu Gen can play in battle.
Perhaps even if Liu Gen failed to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery mountain artillery position, the secret service regiment could still successfully defend Huangya Cave, but in that case, the casualties of the soldiers would inevitably increase. It can be said that a powerful artillery like Liu Gen can completely control the direction of a battle, and is worthy of being the "cannon god" mentioned by the soldiers.
"Brigit Commander Chen, go find General Peng. The CEO has an order to give it to you." The deputy chief of staff looked at the brigade commander beside him and said with a smile.
The brigade commander left quickly. He wanted to know what the task was earlier and also wanted to meet General Peng earlier.
"Genzi, sit down and let's talk." The deputy chief of staff showed a friendly smile, which made Liu Gen relax a lot.
After finding a corner in the room, Liu Gen and the Deputy Chief of Staff talked. Liu Gen knew that the Deputy Chief of Staff had a lot of work to do every day. Now he wanted to have a good talk with him, which undoubtedly meant his importance. But Liu Gen didn't know what the Deputy Chief of Staff wanted to talk to him about artillery V?
Time is passing by, and Liu Gen’s conversation with the deputy chief of staff went smoothly, and the deputy chief of staff was also very gentle. During the conversation, the talent shown by the deputy chief of staff made Liu Gen particularly admired.
Even though Liu Gen has never stopped studying, Liu Gen is still much worse than the Deputy Chief of Staff. He hopes to reach the level of the Deputy Chief of Staff himself, and hopes that he can be as generous as the Deputy Chief of Staff at that time.
During the conversation, Liu Gen also understood why the Deputy Chief of Staff talked to him. The bosses considered Liu Gen's extremely excellent artillery skills and were prepared to give Liu Gen more opportunities to go to the battlefield. For example, in some important battles, Liu Gen would have the opportunity to participate in the battle. In the battle of defense of Huangya Cave, Liu Gen had fully proved his ability and proved that excellent artillery could control the victory of a battle.
Whether it is to reduce casualties of frontline soldiers or to win the battle, let Liu Gen participate in the battle, it is beneficial and harmless.
Perhaps letting Liu Gen participate in the battle means that Liu Gen will be in danger of his life, but in this era, no one can guarantee that his place is safe enough. Even Jiang Jiang in Chongqing is often bombarded by the Japanese aviation troops.
This time, Liu Gen's performance in the defense battle of Huangya Cave not only satisfied the head office, but also received attention from the Yan'an direction. In such a battle, it was also possible to fully see how strong Liu Gen's artillery technology was. Relying on just three rocket launchers, he successfully destroyed the Japanese heavy artillery mountain artillery positions, which fully reflects Liu Gen's ability.
Although it was impossible to find out the specific losses of the Japanese heavy artillery mountain cannons, in the subsequent battles, there was no fire from the Japanese heavy artillery mountain cannons, which could already see the problem.
In the entire Eighth Route Army, an excellent artillery like Liu Gen is very rare. It is even said that Liu Gen can be regarded as the most powerful artillery among the Eighth Route Army. I believe that with Liu Gen's achievements, no matter which artillery soldier in the Eighth Route Army, he will not have any opinions, but will only have deep admiration.
"Genzi, I will personally award you a first-class merit reward order later. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and fight bravely!" After getting up, the deputy chief of staff explained to Liu Gen.
Liu Gen's face was full of surprise. It turned out that President Peng personally awarded a commendation order to himself? Liu Gen was extremely excited. He didn't know what to say, so he could only reach out and constantly tidy up his clothes, hoping that the clothes would look neater.
However, because Liu Gen only had two sets of changing clothes, and working in the arsenal, the clothes were scratched from time to time, resulting in a lot of patches on Liu Gen's clothes. Even though Liu Gen kept tidying up, it still did not reach the level Liu Gen thought, which made Liu Gen very helpless.
"Don't be so excited. With your ability, you will definitely have such ability in the future." The deputy chief of staff saw Liu Gen's condition and comforted him.
Liu Gen reacted, as if the Deputy Chief of Staff was saying it was right. With his ability, he would definitely have many opportunities to make contributions. It is just that making contributions is to make contributions. If you want to get the commendation orders issued by President Peng himself, it is probably not that simple. Even Liu Gen can only say that he has many opportunities.
After waiting for half an hour, General Peng ended his conversation with the brigade commander, and Liu Gen also came to General Peng under the leadership of Deputy Chief of Staff.
"Genzi is here, you have been waiting for a long time. How has the reconstruction of Huangyadong Arsenal been done during this period?" President Peng looked at Liu Gen with a smile, very concerned about the situation of Huangyadong Arsenal.
Mr. Peng knew very well the importance of Huangyadong Arsenal, which is why he sent the headquarters secret service regiment to protect it. We must know that the main task of the headquarters secret service regiment is to protect the safety of the headquarters chiefs. In order to ensure the safety of the Huangyadong Arsenal, the bosses directly sent the headquarters secret service regiment regardless of their own safety.
"The reconstruction work of the arsenal has been continuing. In order to resume production as soon as possible and reduce the pressure on ammunition supply to the frontline soldiers, Director Xu deliberately divided the staff of the arsenal into two parts, part of which was put into production, and the other part was to continue the reconstruction work of the arsenal."
