All night, Liu Gen and others were rushing to the road, and the revenge launched by the Japanese was very crazy.

Judging from the battle between the Eighth Route Army troops and the Japanese on the front line, the Japanese moved very quickly and their marching speed was not greatly affected. In order to arrive at the Chenjiayu area in the shortest time, when the Japanese responded to the blockade of the Eighth Route Army troops, they would decisively divide some of the troops to deal with it, and the remaining troops continued to advance quickly.

In this regard, the Eighth Route Army units did not have any good solutions. The Japanese chose to divide their troops because the Eighth Route Army units were limited in combat effectiveness. Even if they divided their troops, the troops they left behind could hold on for enough time. If these Japanese who stayed to deal with the Eighth Route Army units were really stuck in place and did not have enough heavy firepower, it would be difficult for them to pose too much threat.

Fortunately, there were enough Eighth Route Army troops on the front line, which could delay the Japanese enough time. Otherwise, with the Japanese's marching speed, they would probably have arrived at the Chenjiayu area long ago. By then, it would be impossible for Liu Gen and others to easily complete the transfer. It was nothing if the Japanese agents failed more battles, but the demise of the battlefield observation group forced the Japanese to take revenge on the Eighth Route Army troops.

When the news that the battlefield observation group was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army troops reached the headquarters of the North China Front Army, Commander Okamura Yasuji immediately issued an order to the First Army stationed in Shanxi, ordering them to take revenge on the Eighth Route Army base area and avenge the killed battlefield observation group!

In this regard, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, attached great importance to this. He knew that he needed to give an explanation to the North China Front Army headquarters. Only in this way can the shame of the First Army be washed away. The battlefield observation group had problems after coming to the First Army. They were killed by the Eighth Route Army troops, which undoubtedly showed that the First Army's protection of the Battlefield Observation Group was not strong enough.

Otherwise, with the strength of the First Army, how could it be impossible to protect the battleground observation regiment?

The incident happened to the First Army. How could Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army, continue to relax? In Taiyuan, Shanxi, Yoshio Iwamatsu's orders were constantly issued from here. The Japanese troops in Shanxi took action one after another. They drew up a certain amount of troops and launched a sweep against the Japanese base again.

In the early morning, Liu Gen and others found a hidden place to rest and learned from the telegram sent by the division headquarters that the Japanese launched a retaliation operation. The division headquarters ordered the Independent Corps to be prepared for the Japanese mobilization under the leadership of Li Yunlong. At the same time, they ordered Liu Gen to return to the division headquarters in the shortest time, and the Japanese mobilization began again. At such a critical moment, it would be safest for Liu Gen to stay in the division headquarters.

After seeing the news that he ordered him to return to the division headquarters, Liu Gen was not much surprised. He had long expected such a thing to happen. With Liu Gen's attention, he could not continue to stay in the Independent Corps at this time. The Independent Corps' combat effectiveness is good, but the Independent Corps also has its own things to do, so naturally they cannot do too much in protecting Liu Gen.

It is different when returning to the division headquarters. Because the 129th Division and the Eighth Route Army headquarters are together, the defense forces there are very sufficient. Moreover, the division headquarters also has sufficient experience in dealing with the Japanese raids and there will be no safety problems easily. But compared to returning to the division headquarters, Liu Gen is more willing to stay in the independent regiment. With Li Yunlong's personality, he will definitely not be short of wars!

"Genzi, you should go back to the division headquarters early so that the division commander and the boss can be relieved." Li Yunlong put down the telegram in his hand and said seriously to Liu Gen.

Li Yunlong has experienced many Japanese raids, and naturally has his own experience in dealing with Japanese raids, but even so, this time he did not have the idea of ​​leaving Liu Gen in the Independent Group. Li Yunlong knew Liu Gen's ability, and he knew that letting Liu Gen stay in the Independent Group completely restricted Liu Gen's performance. With Liu Gen's ability, he needed to have a bigger stage.

The battlefield observation group that successfully killed the Japanese was good. There was also a major general of the Japanese, but choosing to kill the Japanese, the battlefield observation group that made the Japanese mobilization of the base this time particularly cruel. Li Yunlong could have predicted that how could the Japanese give up when they killed the Japanese under the eyes of the Japanese?

Thinking of the crazy revenge of the Japanese this time, Li Yunlong had a headache. If Liu Gen was left in the independent regiment, he would not have enough confidence to protect Liu Gen's safety. It is precisely because of this that Li Yunlong wanted to let Liu Gen return to the division headquarters without hesitation. Talents like Liu Gen cannot die easily on the battlefield.

Perhaps Liu Gen will also die on the battlefield one day, but it will definitely be after Li Yunlong and others have all died, so he will be able to die on the battlefield. Within the Eighth Route Army, anyone who has seen Liu Gen knows one thing clearly, that is, Liu Gen cannot have any problems and needs sufficient protection.

"Captain, are you driving me away? This is not like your style." Liu Gen looked at Li Yunlong and couldn't help but speak.

Li Yunlong laughed, and a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. "Damn it! You kid are so brave now! You dare to tease me?"

"Okay, I have a lot of things to do in my independent group. I will be very busy during this period, so I won't keep you boy. I will ask the monk to take a few comrades to send you back to the division headquarters. Don't refuse. The division commander and the boss attach great importance to your safety, and there will be no problems."

"Genzi, you kid shouldn't want me to be punished, right?"

Liu Gen was a little helpless. All the words he could say were spoken by Li Yunlong. What else could he say about this? In the end, Liu Gen could only smile bitterly and nodded, indicating that he understood and no longer had the idea of ​​refusing.

"Then I'll go and say apart to the political commissar." Liu Gen said.

Li Yunlong nodded, and naturally he had no objection. When he watched Liu Gen go to find Zhao Gang, he felt a little uncomfortable. Damn, he finally met Liu Gen and was going to separate again. But there was no way, who made them all soldiers? Soldiers should regard obeying orders as their duty, and Li Yunlong also knew this.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Gang, Liu Gen, monks and others left the Independence Corps directly, and rushed to the position after the division headquarters was transferred.

It was not until noon that Chu Yunfei woke up and found that Liu Gen was missing. After asking Li Yunlong, he realized that Liu Gen had already rushed back to the division headquarters. At this time, Chu Yunfei truly realized the Eighth Route Army's attention to Liu Gen, and there was no need to ask for the specific reasons. Chu Yunfei could also understand why Liu Gen needed to return to the division headquarters.

The Japanese were about to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army based on the revenge operations, which meant that all the troops on the front line had the possibility of fighting with the Japanese. The independent regiment had strong combat effectiveness, but they still did not have enough confidence to ensure Liu Gen's safety.

Knowing that the Japanese's revenge operation was about to begin, Chu Yunfei no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to stay in the Independent Regiment. At this critical moment, he needed to return to the 358th Regiment. No one knew what the Japanese were going to do, and Chu Yunfei also wanted to return to the 358th Regiment to see if there was any chance of fighting.

As for whether the 358th Regiment's attack on the Japanese would attract the attention of the Japanese, Chu Yunfei did not care about this. As a soldier, if he gave up attacking the Japanese because he was worried about being paid attention to the enemy, then there was no need to be a soldier.

After saying goodbye to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei and others left the Independent Regiment directly. They needed to first meet with other Jinsui Army officers in the exchange group and then return to their respective troops. Chu Yunfei believed that the other people in the exchange group should not have the idea of ​​continuing to communicate with the Eighth Route Army at this moment.

The Japanese launched a sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base areas. No one knew whether the Eighth Route Army could successfully defend it. It would be fine if there were no problems, but once there were problems, their exchange group would also have a lot of dangers.

When Chu Yunfei and others returned to the exchange group, they found that the officers in the exchange group all looked cold. After seeing Chu Yunfei and others return to the team, they immediately chose to set off. If it weren't for waiting for Chu Yunfei and others, the officers in the exchange group would have chosen to leave long ago.

Compared with staying in the Eighth Route Army, these officers of the Jinsui Army were more willing to stay in their own troops. Even in terms of combat effectiveness, their troops may not be able to compare with the Eighth Route Army, but they still wanted to leave.

The Eighth Route Army naturally did not stop the departure of the Jinsui Army Exchange Group. After sending a company of soldiers to protect them from leaving the base, the Eighth Route Army focused on the aggressive Japanese troops.

Under the orders of Yoshio Iwamatsu, all the troops of the First Japanese Army mobilized a certain amount of troops and launched a retaliatory encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base. From the marching speed of these Japanese troops, it can be seen that the Japanese are coming in full force. This time the Japanese troops were crazy.

Taking this into account, the Eighth Route Army headquarters ordered the Eighth Route Army troops to block the Japanese with small troops and not to engage in too much entanglement with the Japanese. Among them, the Eighth Route Army's main energy should be focused on the transfer of the masses in the base area. The Japanese are very killing. If they do not transfer the masses, the masses will be exposed to the Japanese's butcher's knife.

It is precisely because of this that the bosses ordered all troops to pay attention to the safety of the people in the base area, pay attention to the protection of the people, and minimize the losses of the people as much as possible.

After receiving the order from the headquarters, the Eighth Route Army units acted quickly. They transferred the masses in the base area as quickly as possible. Except for some elderly people who were unwilling to transfer, most of the people in the base area were transferred.

The day after the mass transfer work began, the forces gathered by the First Japanese Army launched a retaliatory sweep against the Japanese base. This time, the Japanese were mainly destruction, and they also knew that it was difficult to find traces of the Eighth Route Army troops, so they chose to destroy and destroy unscrupulously.

The village was burned, the farmland was trampled, the wells were thrown into the corpse, and every village passed by the Japanese troops turned into scorched earth.

After knowing that the Japanese troops were crazy destruction in the base area, the bosses were extremely angry. They continued to mobilize the troops of each unit to launch a counterattack against the Japanese weak sweeping forces, and at the same time ordered the troops to remove the strongholds with weak defense power of the Japanese.

On weekdays, the Japanese defended the strongholds with sufficient troops, and the Japanese also knew the Eighth Route Army's methods and kept leaving the stronghold too far. However, this time, Yoshio Iwamatsu drew troops to fight against the retaliatory sweep of the Japanese base area, and drew a lot of troops from various units of the First Army, resulting in the shortage of the troops defending the strongholds.

Under the flexible command of the bosses, the Japanese strongholds in the Anti-Japanese Base Area were continuously removed, forcing the Japanese to give up the storm against the Japanese base areas and mobilize troops to defend the strongholds.

However, even though the Eighth Route Army units achieved good results under the command of the bosses, the retaliatory sweep of the Japanese invasion in the Anti-Japanese Base Area still caused considerable damage to the base area, especially the farmland trampled by the Japanese, which would inevitably have a significant impact on the base area's grain output.

In March, the Anti-Japanese Base Area returned to peace after the last Japanese mobilization force withdrew. However, the trauma suffered by the people in the base area was unknown when it could be restored. I am afraid that only by killing all these Japanese who dared to destroy unscrupulously in the base area can the hatred of the people in the base area be relieved!

At Huangyadong Arsenal, Liu Gen was commanding the arsenal's employees to carry the lathes. The bosses decided to split the Huangyadong Arsenal to ensure that the production work of the arsenal would not be affected too much.

In order to ensure the safety of the arsenal to the greatest extent, the Huangyadong Arsenal will be divided into three parts. Considering that the location of Huangyadong has been discovered by the Japanese, it is not too important to place the production part of the Huangyadong Arsenal to avoid the Japanese troops going to Huangyadong Arsenal to sweep the Huangyadong Arsenal again.

Among them, the artillery department of the arsenal also needs to evacuate Huangya Cave and go to a more hidden area for production. In other words, Liu Gen may not have many opportunities to return to Huangya Cave in the future.

Looking at the busy military factory employees, Liu Gen felt a little depressed, and it would be a little difficult to add Director Xu and others in the future.

After returning to the headquarters, Liu Gen also learned from the headquarters bosses that the battles he can participate in will increase a lot in the future, and as Liu Gen participates in more battles, he will spend a lot less time in the rear.

Liu Gen didn't know when he left this time, and Director Xu and others would be. The only thing he could do was to tell Director Xu and others what he knew, and then as a technical reserve for the arsenal.

Of course, if the arsenal needs it, Liu Gen will definitely return to the arsenal to solve considerable problems. However, unless it is some problems that need to be solved by Liu Gen personally, ordinary problems can be solved on the phone.
