At six o'clock in the evening, outside Yonghe County, Liu Gen quietly left with the soldiers from the 2nd Regiment and the artillery battalion.

The first time the Japanese launched an attack on Liulin County today, Liu Gen and Commander Fu received the news. After waiting for a day without finding the Japanese troops around Yonghe County, Liu Gen and the others were sure that the Japanese had no idea about Yonghe County for the time being.

Yonghe County is far away from the Japanese. Even if it has certain strategic value, it is impossible to directly abandon Liulin County and Xi County to attack Yonghe County. If the Japanese really do this, then it will definitely be what the 120th Division is willing to see. By then, the Eighth Route Army troops in the surrounding areas may not be able to encircle and suppress the attacking Japanese.

Commander Fu is the leader of the 2nd Regiment and needs to stay to defend Yonghe County, but Liu Gen does not need to. Before Liulin County and Xi County were taken down by the Japanese, Yonghe County was still very safe. Originally, Liu Gen was not ready to take action, but after receiving the combat order from Commander He, he decisively led the soldiers of the two battalions to take action.

In the battle last night, Liu Gen was able to help the cavalry detachment, but tonight, he did not have such good treatment. There was no way. At this time, the cavalry detachment was not near Yonghe County, but had already run to the rear of the Japanese and tried to destroy the rear transport of the Japanese.

With the mobility of the cavalry detachment, they would inevitably have a significant impact on the Japanese when they headed to the rear of the Japanese. In addition, the soldiers of the cavalry detachment carried enough explosives, which meant that they had stronger destructive power. As for letting the cavalry detachment fight head-on with the Japanese troops, this is naturally impossible.

For the Eighth Route Army, the cavalry is a treasure. The 120th Division was able to develop a cavalry detachment, which wasted a lot of energy, allowing the cavalry detachment to fight directly head-on with the Japanese troops. Commander He had never had such an idea. The situation of the 120th Division was not very good. If the cavalry detachment was compensated, Commander He didn't know whether he could build another cavalry unit.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Gen brought the soldiers to Nuanquan Town, where a small team of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops were defending. After Shilou County was successfully occupied by the 120th Division, the Japanese soldiers of Nuanquan Town became vigilant and their defense became much stronger. However, because the location of Nuanquan Town was not important, Nuanquan Town did not receive any military support.

In the view of Commander He, the location of Nuanquan Town is important. Once the Japanese reacted and increased their troops in Nuanquan Town, they could threaten Liulin County, Shilou County and Xi County occupied by the 120th Division at any time with Nuanquan Town as the center. After clearly knowing the importance of Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen was sent out.

Liu Gen is a talent. Commander He believes that with Liu Gen's ability, it is not difficult to lead the soldiers of the two battalions to take down Nuanquan Town. There are many Japanese killers killed by Liu Gen, and a Japanese team is nothing. Commander He cannot find a suitable candidate, so he chose to send Liu Gen out. Compared with Commander Fu, who needs to be responsible for defending the county town, Liu Gen is undoubtedly much more relaxed.

After arriving in Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen did not launch an attack as soon as possible. He could see the Japanese in Nuanquan Town being very alert. There were two artillery towers outside Nuanquan Town. The two artillery towers are mutually supportive, and it was not easy to win two artillery towers as soon as possible.

With the strength of Liu Gen's hands, it is enough to attack two Japanese artillery towers, but if you choose to attack with force, there will inevitably be considerable casualties, which Liu Gen does not want to see.

"Captain Zhang, is there a way to touch the near the Japanese artillery tower?" Liu Gen looked at Battalion Zhang of the 2nd Regiment's first battalion beside him, wanting to know what Battalion Commander Zhang was thinking.

Captain Zhang pondered for a moment and shook his head helplessly, "The Japanese are very alert. Not to mention that the Japanese are likely to have arranged secret whistles. Just the searchlights on the Japanese artillery tower, it is difficult for us to quietly touch them."

"In addition, these Japanese are very smart. They have made the entire Nuanquan Town brightly lit, and it is difficult to get close to it."

Liu Gen nodded. He could understand the difficulties and looked at the two artillery towers of the Japanese. In the night, it seemed that two ferocious beasts were entrenched, and they would suddenly pounce out and devour life in the next moment.

"It seems that we can only attack with force. Let the soldiers rest first, and we will wait until the early morning before attacking." Liu Gen pondered for a moment and made up his mind to attack with force.

Battalion Commander Zhang had no objection. He understood why Liu Gen chose to attack in the early morning. In the early morning, the Japanese soldiers would be much tired. I believe that during the strong attack, the soldiers would suffer less casualties. In addition, with the artillery battalion, under the Japanese's rest, two or three rounds of artillery bombardment could solve some of the enemies.

As for the Japanese in the artillery tower, it is not that easy to solve it. It is not that easy to shoot shells into the Japanese artillery tower.

The soldiers had a rest, and it took a lot of their energy to rush to Nuanquan Town. Now that they can have a certain amount of rest time, they naturally don’t want to waste it.

Liu Gen did not rest. He picked up the telescope and carefully observed the two artillery towers of the Japanese. With Liu Gen there, it was not as difficult as he thought. But even if Liu Gen's artillery skills were strong enough, he still needed to be prepared.

Under the light, Liu Gen saw a lot of things through the telescope. The two Japanese artillery towers were well built. Ordinary Eighth Route Army troops came and wanted to take down the Japanese artillery towers, there would inevitably be a lot of casualties.

With two artillery towers for defense, the Japanese can hold on for a long time. Once they fail to take down these two artillery towers in a short time, the Japanese reinforcements from the surrounding strongholds and counties will come continuously.

At two o'clock in the morning, the soldiers stopped resting, cheered up, and prepared to devote themselves to the battle.

"Captain Zhang, take the soldiers of the first battalion and immediately rushed over after our artillery battalion fires. I will kill the two artillery towers of the Japanese and will not give the Japanese in the artillery tower any chance to fire."

"I hope you can rush directly to the edge of the Japanese artillery tower and seize these two artillery towers in the shortest time." Liu Gen ordered Battalion Commander Zhang beside him.

Captain Zhang nodded vigorously. He didn't understand how Liu Gen would kill the Japanese artillery tower, but he believed that Liu Gen said this, so there would definitely be a way to kill the Japanese artillery tower. Captain Zhang only hopes that Liu Gen can kill the Japanese artillery tower quickly so that the soldiers can also be more relaxed.

"Hurry up and start fighting in five minutes!"

Soon, Liu Gen could see the soldiers quietly touching the Japanese artillery tower under the leadership of Battalion Zhang. However, due to the presence of Japanese lights, Battalion Commander Zhang stopped at a distance of 200 meters from the Japanese artillery tower and could no longer move forward.

Continue to move forward, Battalion Commander Zhang and others will appear under the light of the Japanese, and they will easily be discovered by the Japanese, so they cannot continue to take risks.

"Prepare!"
Chapter completed!
