Five hundred and seventieth chapters for help
He took out his telescope and looked in the direction where the Japanese attacked. Liu Gen could see that this Japanese army had not had much strength, it should be just a Japanese infantry team.
It is impossible for a Japanese infantry team to take down Nuanquan Town. Even if only the soldiers from the artillery battalion can successfully guard Nuanquan. What's more, Nuanquan Town has Battalion Commander Zhang, Xue Bing and others.
"Battlefield Commander Wang, let the comrades of the artillery battalion hide in the position. Unless the Japanese take the initiative to attack, we should not take the initiative to shoot."
"In addition, let a comrade go to Xue Bing and the others to find such a battle, so let Xue Bing and the others go on." Liu Gen put down the telescope and gave serious instructions.
Compared with the artillery battalion, the guards led by Xue Bing naturally have more combat experience, and their shooting skills are even more comparable to those of the Japanese soldiers. With Xue Bing and others and the existence of defensive positions, it is impossible for the Japanese to rush up.
There was obvious helplessness on Battalion Commander Wang's face, and he knew that Liu Gen would not let the artillery battalion easily participate in such a battle, which gave him some objections. As a soldier, after going to the battlefield, they were ready to sacrifice at any time.
Now, Liu Gen will try his best to protect their lives as much as possible because of their status as artillery soldiers.
Liu Gen's actions did indeed reduce the artillery battalion to a certain extent, but for the soldiers of the artillery battalion, Liu Gen's protection was a shame for them, and only the weak needed protection.
The soldiers in the artillery battalion did not want to be considered weak by Liu Gen. They did not want to be protected by Liu Gen all the time. They were not afraid of sacrifice, but were afraid that they would not have the chance to participate in the battle.
"Captain Wang, don't think too much, I understand what you think."
"You are not allowed to participate in the battle now because you need to hide temporarily, causing more damage to the Japanese."
"Besides, the Japanese are not stupid. This Japanese infantry team must have discovered our defensive position. At most, they will only try to attack and will not easily attack with all their strength."
“…”
Battalion Commander Wang breathed a sigh of relief and his frown also let go. He knew that Liu Gen was right. The chance of the Japanese attacking with all their might was very small, and there were many opportunities for the artillery battalion to fight. Battalion Commander Wang no longer hesitated and quickly arranged Liu Gen's orders. The soldiers of the artillery battalion were a little confused, but they still hid directly in the position and no one showed up.
Xue Bing and others quickly arrived on the position. After learning that this was Liu Gen's order, Xue Bing and the soldiers of the guard company came to the position without any hesitation. When they came to Nuanquan Town, Xue Bing and others wanted to fight the Japanese. Now that they had the opportunity to fight, Xue Bing and the others couldn't wait.
After entering the position, Xue Bing looked directly in the direction where the Japanese attacked, and found that it was just a Japanese infantry squad, and he was immediately disappointed. Xue Bing thought that the Japanese attacked him so that Liu Gen could directly use their guard company. Who knew that it was just a Japanese infantry squad.
Xue Bing didn't take it seriously yet. He knew clearly that the battle of the guard company was not very threatening even if it was a head-on confrontation. Now that there was a strong enough defensive position, Xue Bing and others would naturally be more relaxed when dealing with this Japanese infantry squad.
Liu Gen looked at the guard company soldiers entering the position. He could see that these soldiers looked serious and did not slacken or careless because the Japanese were just an infantry squad.
"Xue Bing, you kid, get me serious! Don't be careless!" Liu Gen yelled at Xue Bing.
From Xue Bing's performance in the position, Liu Gen can see that Xue Bing did not take this Japanese infantry team to heart. Xue Bing is good at everything, but she is a little too proud. In battle, pride is not desirable. Too proud, it is easy to lose her life in battle.
"Yes!" Xue Bing looked upright and dared not continue to be proud.
Xue Bing did not look back, but he was sure that Liu Gen was staring at his every move. If there was a problem, he would definitely be punished by Liu Gen as soon as possible.
The Japanese infantry team approached quickly. When they were still three hundred meters away from Nuanquan Town, the Japanese infantry team stopped directly. The Japanese infantry team was very cautious. They discovered the changes in Nuanquan Town and also discovered the defensive positions outside Nuanquan Town.
After briefly observing the defensive positions outside Nuanquan Town, the Japanese squad leader decisively ordered other Japanese soldiers to station on the spot and wait for the arrival of other troops.
"It seems that this Japanese squad is a bit smart and has no idea of tentative attack at all." Liu Gen's eyes showed a smile when he saw the Japanese soldiers choose to station.
Battalion Commander Wang nodded. Judging from the performance of this Japanese squad, he was indeed a little smart. Battalion Commander Wang knew very well what the reinforced defensive position was. It was impossible for a Japanese infantry team to take down the defensive position, and there would only be worthless casualties.
"Xue Bing, your kid's chance to perform has come. I want to see how much combat power the guard company can exert in your hands!" Liu Gen looked at Xue Bing and said with some anticipation.
Needless to say, Xue Bing's personal strength is not many of the people present who are sure to defeat Xue Bing. Now, Liu Gen wants to see Xue Bing's command ability. With the situation of the guard company, he still needs a certain level of command to take the initiative to attack the Japanese infantry squad.
A truly capable commander needs to cause more damage to the enemy as much as possible under limited troops and reduce his own casualties. Only in this way can he be called a capable commander. Liu Gen hopes that Xue Bing will be such a commander.
In the position, Xue Bing was slightly stunned. At first, he didn't react. It was not until he reacted and looked at Liu Gen with excitement that he quickly arranged for the next guard company to take the initiative.
Xue Bing didn't understand why Liu Gen asked the guard company to take the initiative, but since Liu Gen gave such an order, Xue Bing naturally wanted to work hard to do his best and let Liu Gen see his ability. Not being directly led by Liu Gen to participate in the battle, Xue Bing knew that it was a bit dangerous to continue to stay by Liu Gen as a guard.
Otherwise, how could he not be led by Liu Gen as a guard?
Xue Bing also knew why Liu Gen was dissatisfied with him. This time he brought the guard company to Nuanquan Town to make up for his impression in Liu Gen's eyes. He needed to let Liu Gen see his own abilities. Only in this way can he stay.
With Xue Bing's ability, as long as he wants, there will be no problem with any unit of the 120th Division. But Xue Bing knew that only by following Liu Gen could he learn more and get more improvements.
In Xue Bing's eyes, Liu Gen is a strong man who has never been able to surpass in a short period of time!
After a simple arrangement, Xue Bing directly led some of the soldiers from the guard company to touch the position of the Japanese infantry team. The remaining soldiers of the guard company were holding machine guns and ready to shoot at any time and support Xue Bing in fire.
Liu Gen was quite satisfied with Xue Bing's arrangement. It can be seen that Xue Bing was not a reckless man, and he also knew that some of the soldiers in the guard company were left behind.
When there were two hundred meters away from the Japanese infantry team, Xue Bing and others stopped. They took out their 38 rifle, aimed quickly, and chose to shoot.
The banging gunshots sounded, and the gunshots were not very dense, and anyone could hear that there were not many people shooting.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The Japanese squad leader immediately issued an order to retreat. From the gunshots, he could tell where Xue Bing and others were, but the Japanese squad leader had no idea of counterattack.
After leaving twenty or thirty corpses, the Japanese infantry team completed the retreat. In just a short period of time, the Japanese infantry team suffered nearly half of the losses.
The shooting skills exposed by Xue Bing and others were too accurate, which made the Japanese captain not have any idea of counterattacking and shooting on the spot. He knew that staying and shooting might cause certain casualties to Xue Bing and others.
But staying will also allow his infantry team to be kept completely.
When he retreated to a relatively open area, the Japanese squad leader's face looked particularly ugly. He was indeed smart without launching an attempt to attack. However, the attack he was subjected to the next step made the Japanese squad leader realize his shortcomings. He underestimated the Eighth Route Army troops defending Nuanquan Town.
The Japanese squad leader did not think that the Eighth Route Army troops in Nuanquan Town would take the initiative to launch an attack. In his impression, the Eighth Route Army troops would not have the courage to fight head-on with the Great Japanese Imperial Army, but who knew that this Eighth Route Army troops actually chose to take the initiative.
"Ask for help again! Ask the headquarters to send an infantry brigade to support it. It is very likely that there is the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Nuanquan Town!" The Japanese squad leader ordered angrily.
The Japanese correspondents seized the time to send the telegram for help. Judging from the Eighth Route Army that had just fired the gun, there should not be many Eighth Route Army troops in Nuanquan Town. But the Japanese correspondents knew that he only needed to do his own job.
As for whether there is a main force of the Eighth Route Army in Nuanquan Town, there will naturally be an answer after the Great Japanese Imperial Army takes over Nuanquan Town.
The Japanese squad leader ordered the Japanese soldiers to station and rest again, but this time, the Japanese squad leader was much more cautious. Even if he was resting, he arranged a certain amount of Japanese soldiers to avoid being touched by Xue Bing and others again.
Seeing that there was no chance to continue attacking, Xue Bing and his soldiers retreated to the position. Due to the fact that the Japanese were always staring at them, Xue Bing and the others were unable to clean up the battlefield smoothly, and it was difficult to get the good things from the killed Japanese soldiers.
