Chapter 504: Safe Return
When the soldiers woke up from their sleep, they could see Liu Gen and Captain Ou on guard. From their expressions, they could see that Liu Gen and the others were not resting.
Realizing this, the soldiers felt a little embarrassed. Even if they were resting, they should leave some staff to guard them. However, due to being too tired, they ignored this point, which eventually led to the fact that Liu Gen and Captain Ou were only allowed to guard them. The soldiers were very ashamed of this, and such mistakes should not occur.
"Instructor Liu, you punish us. Such mistakes should not be made." The soldiers from Erniu and other combat teams stepped forward and said.
The soldiers of the combat team did not want to be punished by Liu Gen. If they made mistakes, they should be punished, and the soldiers would not choose to turn a blind eye. Moreover, the soldiers knew that even if they were punished, they would not be too serious. Thinking that the instructor Liu Gen had not rested and had been on guard for them, the soldiers of the combat team felt particularly ashamed.
Liu Gen looked at the soldiers in front of him and shook his head with a smile, "I can understand such a mistake, so I'll pay attention next time."
"Since everyone has woken up, hurry up and eat some dry food. After we finish eating, we will continue to rush. Before tomorrow morning, we will return to the division headquarters and report the results of this combat mission."
Seeing that Liu Gen did not want to punish them, the soldiers of the combat team were relieved a lot. They could undoubtedly be much easier without being punished by Liu Gen. The soldiers were not masochists. If they hadn't made any mistakes, they would not be willing to be punished by the instructor Liu Gen. It was not that Liu Gen's punishment would be so serious, but because whenever they were punished, the soldiers felt particularly guilty and uncomfortable.
As a member of the combat team, the soldiers knew very well how much the instructor Liu Gen had paid for the combat team. It was because they knew this clearly that they did not want to live up to Liu Gen's expectations for them, and hoped that they would work hard to do better. For the soldiers, it was their luck to be a member of the combat team, and they were extremely grateful to the instructor Liu Gen.
In the combat team, the soldiers learned too much and their strength has been significantly improved. Now they have successfully killed Shigeo Yiko, the captain of the team, who advanced to Yiko, and the captain of the Japanese corps. To put it bluntly, if these soldiers are not able to enter the combat team, then they want to kill such a level of Japanese devils, and I don’t know what year or month it will take.
In less than ten minutes, the soldiers finished their dry food, and they did not carry much dry food. The soldiers only had one dose of dry food left in their hands. If they could not return to the division headquarters smoothly tomorrow morning, then Liu Gen and others would have the risk of food being cut off. However, even if there was not much dry food left in their hands, the soldiers were not nervous at all. They believed in the abilities of Liu Gen and Captain Ou, and believed that they could take them back to the division headquarters smoothly.
Seeing that the soldiers had eaten dry food, Liu Gen immediately announced that he would continue to march quickly and return to the division headquarters as quickly as possible. I believe that the division headquarters must have known what happened in the county town of Qixian County, and knew that Liu Gen and others had successfully completed this combat mission.
Now, Liu Gen urgently needs to return to the division headquarters to ensure that the division commanders and others can understand the relevant information. Killing Yizi Shigexiong is nothing. Even if a lieutenant has made military achievements in leading Yizi into the team, Liu Gen still does not take it seriously. The death of a lieutenant is nothing to the devils in Shanxi, even if the devil has just made great contributions.
However, the death of a Japanese corps leader will attract the attention of the Japanese. Even the rich Japanese cannot tolerate a Japanese corps leader being easily killed by the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, if you can kill the corps leader of the 223rd Regiment of the 36th Division this time, you may kill other Japanese corps leader next time, which is undoubtedly something that the Japanese cannot tolerate.
Liu Gen was sure that the death of Shan Yuan Chunjiang, the leader of the Japanese corps, would inevitably attract the Japanese to pay high attention and corresponding revenge. With the state of various units of the Eighth Route Army, if you want to avoid too much loss in the Japanese's revenge, you undoubtedly need to make sufficient preparations.
He maintained an urgent marching state along the way. Considering that the physical fitness of the soldiers was far inferior to that of him, Liu Gen also kept paying attention to the physical condition of the soldiers. Whenever the soldiers could not bear it, he would ask the soldiers to rest on the spot for a certain period of time before continuing to march. Liu Gen hoped to take each soldier back to the division headquarters, without any casualties in the battle, and there would be no problems in the emergency marching of the division headquarters.
Captain Ou saw all this and felt a little moved by Liu Gen's intention. On the way he came, Liu Gen had not noticed Xizhe and needed his reminder. When he went back, Liu Gen was able to do this well, allocate the time for the soldiers to march and rest, and keep the soldiers in a very good condition.
With the state of these soldiers, it is okay to keep a marching state, but certain problems will definitely arise, and many soldiers will even be unable to keep up with the pace of the large army.
Even if Captain Ou was asked to allocate the time for the soldiers to marches and rest in a hurry, he could not guarantee that he could do as good as Liu Gen. For this reason, he specifically remembered how Liu Gen allocated the time for the marches and rest in a hurry, so that he could do the corresponding work when he led the soldiers to marches and keep the soldiers in a hurry.
Time passed quickly during the soldiers' marching. Because it was always a marching, at 5 o'clock in the morning, Liu Gen and others returned to the outside of the division headquarters. The guards were a little surprised when they saw Liu Gen and others, but they did not expect Liu Gen and others to come back so soon. Yesterday, the Japanese from various strongholds went out crazily to search for the traces of Liu Gen and others. When they learned this news, the soldiers in the division headquarters were still worried about the safety of Liu Gen and others.
But who would have thought that in just one night, Liu Gen and others successfully returned to the division headquarters, and even said that there were no casualties. How could the alert soldiers not be surprised?
When he brought the soldiers back to the division headquarters safely, Liu Gen suddenly relaxed a lot. When he was on the way, he was worried that if he accidentally encountered the Japanese troops, the soldiers would suffer certain casualties. Who would have thought that he would not encounter any Japanese at night? Liu Gen and others returned to the division headquarters very smoothly. Returning to the division headquarters also meant the successful completion of the combat mission.
"Comrades, when we return to the division headquarters, it means that this combat mission is successfully completed. We did not suffer any casualties in this combat mission, but we still have worked hard for comrades."
"In the next time, the comrades will be in charge. Whether they want to go back to rest directly or go to the kitchen to have some breakfast, there is no problem." Liu Gen said to the soldiers with a smile.
After the soldiers cheered, they quickly dispersed. The soldiers of the headquarters secret service regiment were the most tired. In terms of physical fitness, they could be said to be the worst group of people. They kept marching urgently, which made the soldiers consume a lot. Now, the soldiers of the headquarters secret service regiment had no other thoughts and just wanted to go back to the room and have a good sleep.
Compared with the soldiers of the headquarters secret service regiment, the soldiers of the combat team were in a better condition. They did not choose to rest directly, but planned to go to the kitchen team to get some food before going to rest.
Originally, Liu Gen wanted to go to the division commander to report the situation directly, but learned that the division commander chose to rest very late last night and slept very late. This made him give up the idea of going to the division commander to directly find the division commander and prepare to go to the division commander to report the relevant situation of this combat mission after breakfast in the kitchen team. After really returning to the division headquarters, Liu Gen was no longer so anxious. He believed that the division commander would definitely be prepared.
