In front, gunfire and grenade explosion suddenly sounded, and Liu Gen and the soldiers stopped.

Liu Gen believed that Captain Yao and his team would not have too much problem with the ambush of the Japanese, but in order to ensure the safety of himself and the soldiers, he still needed to stop and avoid unexpected situations.

Ten minutes later, soldiers from the cavalry detachment came back and told Liu Gen and others to continue moving forward. The Japanese infantry squad was successfully killed by Captain Yao and the soldiers of the cavalry detachment. Hundreds of grenades exploded in the Japanese infantry squad. Even if the grenades in the hands of the soldiers could not be compared with the Japanese sweet potato grenade, it was enough to kill the Japanese in the infantry squad.

When Liu Gen and the soldiers met with Captain Yao, they were all excited to see that the comrades present were able to kill a Japanese infantry team so easily, which was beyond everyone present's expectations.

Only Captain Yao and Liu Gen's expressions were still calm. They knew that this time they easily killed a Japanese infantry team, but in order to kill this infantry team, the cavalry detachment also paid nearly 300 grenades as a price. The cost of 300 grenades is not cheap. Of course, overall, it is still a profit to kill a Japanese infantry team with 300 grenades, but it is not much profitable.

"Continue to set off!" When Liu Gen and others arrived, Captain Yao issued an order to continue moving forward.

Just an infantry team of Japanese devils, being able to kill these Japanese devils does not reflect the combat effectiveness of the cavalry detachment. Ambushing Japanese detachments and using a large number of grenades is not the fighting method of the cavalry detachment. When the cavalry detachment can ride a horse and whip it and use the saber in his hand to cut off the heads of a large number of Japanese detachments, they will be qualified to be excited and proud.

The Japanese infantry team failed to stop Liu Gen and others. At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Gen and others successfully arrived in Shilou County. Here, Liu Gen and others met the soldiers of the division's secret service regiment. The 120th Division was responsible for the important task of defending Yan'an, and many troops were unable to be mobilized.

To this end, Commander He chose to transfer the secret service group responsible for the security of the 120th Division to attack Shilou County occupied by the Japanese.

Shilou County is not too far from the 120th Division Division. Once the division headquarters encounters danger, the division headquarters secret service regiment can return to rescue in the shortest time. The chances of the Japanese attacking the 120th Division Division are relatively small. I believe that they will not have the energy to attack the 120th Division's division headquarters when facing the work of the various units of the 120th Division.

What's more, after the 120th Division achieved its combat goals tonight, the combat frontline also means that it has been promoted a lot. The Japanese wanted to threaten the 120th Division headquarters, and the 120th Division troops in the occupied counties had a high chance of discovering it.

According to the combat plan formulated by Commander He, the Japanese will be exhausted in the next time and will not be able to draw too many troops to attack the 120th Division, or attack Yan'an.

Yan'an and the head of the headquarters were very clear about the situation of the Pacific War. The Japanese did not have much advantage in the Pacific War. In the Pacific War, the confrontation between Japan and the United States caused Japan to be directly dragged into the quagmire of war, and it would be very difficult to break free from it.

Especially on April 18, Japanese general Irosaki Yamamoto was shot dead by the US military, which means that the Japanese army was at a disadvantage in the Pacific War. If they want to successfully defeat the United States, they undoubtedly need to invest more troops. On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army has too many troops and will inevitably mobilize some troops to leave.

After the Pacific War was at a disadvantage, the Japanese army would inevitably change its combat strategies on the Chinese battlefield. It was impossible for the Japanese army to win the Chinese war in a short time. According to the bosses' speculation, the Japanese would inevitably focus on consolidating the existing occupied areas, and it was impossible to carry out a large-scale attack.

It is precisely because the combat plan formulated by Commander He was agreed, and the bosses also wanted to test the reality of the Japanese through this battle. If the Japanese counterattack was not that strong, then other troops of the Eighth Route Army could move, without having to keep being so low-key.

"Captain Yu, how is the current situation in Shilou County?" When Liu Gen came to the front-line command post of the division secret service regiment, he successfully met Captain Yu.

Liu Gen could see that Commander Yu's face was a little solemn. It seemed that the division secret service regiment's attack on Shilou County was not very smooth. Could it be that the Japanese troops in Shilou County had changed? Or was there something else going on?

"Comrade Liu Gen, the offense of our division teaching regiment was not very smooth. After discovering our troops, the Japanese immediately chose to retreat to the center of Shilou County and used a large number of civilians as hostages to force the comrades of our secret service regiment to fail to continue the attack."

"The Japanese in Shilou County are very stubborn. As long as we show the slightest idea of ​​attack, they will directly aim their weapons at the civilians in their hands."

“…”

Liu Gen frowned and looked a little ugly. He didn't expect the Japanese to use such means to resist the attack of the soldiers of the secret service team. Whether to attack now has become a problem that has troubled the division's secret service team. Once the attack is launched, the Japanese will inevitably slaughter civilians on a large scale, and the sacrifice will be too great.

"Have you reported to the division commander? What does the division commander say?" Liu Gen asked.

Captain Yu nodded and said helplessly, "Teacher asked me to wait patiently, don't worry."

Liu Gen was a little confused. This should not be what Commander He said, right? He still has some understanding of Commander He. When encountering such a thing, Commander He will definitely want to solve it in the shortest time. How could he let Commander Yu wait patiently? Liu Gen looked up at the small city tower not far away. The Japanese puppet troops in Shilou County were concentrated on it, and the civilians tied up.

"I don't have any good solutions, unless a small army can sneak into the top and cooperate with the inside and outside to kill these Japanese puppet troops." After Liu Gen thought seriously, he didn't think of any good solutions.

Suddenly, a clear look of joy appeared on Liu Gen's face. He seemed to have guessed the division commander's thoughts. Could it be that the soldiers of the special operations team of the division headquarters had already entered Shilou County? Liu Gen raised his head and looked up the city tower seriously, but at night, even if he widened his eyes, he could not see clearly what was going on.

"Captain Yu, prepare for it. Maybe it won't be too long before we launch an attack." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Commander Yu was a little confused and didn't understand why Liu Gen said this, but he nodded and ordered the soldiers to quietly wipe the city tower where the Japanese were. Under the cover of the night, it was difficult for the Japanese to launch a secret service soldier who quietly approached.
