"Comrade Liu Gen, I'll give you this assistant knife." After the war, after cleaning the battlefield, Battalion Commander Zhang sent an assistant knife to Liu Gen.

Liu Gen took the Assistant Sword and pulled it out casually to take a look. This Assistant Sword is well-made and has the value of collecting and commemorating. Of course, in this era, it is very worthy of pride and pride to be able to seize an Assistant Sword on the battlefield!

If you want to seize the Assistant Sword from the Japanese, at least you have to kill a Japanese infantry squadron. This also ensures that the Japanese commander will not retreat in order to successfully seize an official sword. It can be said that in any anti-Japanese force, it is a great honor to successfully seize an official sword.

"Captain Zhang, you should keep this assistant knife." Liu Gen returned the assistant knife to Captain Zhang again. He didn't have much thought about this assistant knife.

Things like the Zuoguan Dao can be easily obtained as long as Liu Gen wants.

With Liu Gen's strength, it was very easy to get a sergeant sword. What's more, in the battles that Liu Gen had killed many Japanese masters, and many of them seized.

The assistant knives seized by Liu Gen have long been sent out by Liu Gen. He has no interest in the Japanese assistant knives. Even if Liu Gen wants to get a Japanese sword, it should at least be a general knives.

Captain Zhang was a little helpless. He knew that it was unlikely that Liu Gen would accept this assistant knife. From Liu Gen's performance, he knew that it would be no difficulty for Liu Gen to get an assistant knife. In the eyes of others, getting an assistant knife was not easy.

But if you put such a thing on Liu Gen, it would be very relaxed. Captain Zhang is still very sure about this.

Captain Zhang was a little happy to put away the Assistant Sword. It was still very good to be able to seize an Assistant Sword. Liu Gen looked down on the Assistant Sword, but Battalion Commander Zhang knew clearly what an Assistant Sword represents. When others met with someone questioning your strength, taking out an Assistant Sword is the best proof.

"Comrade Liu Gen, this attacking Japanese troops were successfully killed by us. What should we do next?"

"Once the Japanese react, they will inevitably send more troops to Nuanquan Town to attack. If we want to successfully defend, it will probably be difficult." Battalion Commander Zhang still did not dare to relax at all after successfully killing this Japanese army attacking Nuanquan Town.

Battalion Commander Zhang knew very well that the Japanese retaliation against the 120th Division had just begun, and in a short period of time, the Japanese retaliation would not be stopped easily.

Nuanquan Town has good strategic value, and with a Japanese infantry squadron losing contact in the direction of Nuanquan Town, the Japanese will definitely not give up the idea of ​​attacking Nuanquan Town easily. The Japanese's troops are a little nervous, but it is still possible to draw the troops of an infantry squadron to attack Nuanquan Town again.

There was no sign of too much nervousness on Liu Gen's face. He successfully killed a Japanese infantry squadron. The capture on the battlefield allowed Liu Gen and others to replenish their weapons and ammunition. Without worries about weapons and ammunition, the defense work in Nuanquan Town would become easier.

Without caring about ammunition consumption, the Japanese need at least an infantry brigade, or even more troops to destroy the defensive positions of Xue Bing and others. Only with sufficient troops in the Japanese can the Japanese attack crazily without caring about their own casualties and then take down Nuanquan Town.

"Repair the defensive positions and let the comrades use the capture to lay more mines and traps."

"The next Japanese troops attacking Nuanquan Town should not attack like this mindless and crazy. Our defense in Nuanquan Town should last for a period of time. We must prepare our comrades mentally." Liu Gen ordered seriously.

Battalion Commander Zhang nodded. He understood what Liu Gen meant. He knew how to do the defense work in Nuanquan Town next. Unless the Japanese draw a large amount of troops, with the defense facilities of Nuanquan Town, it is impossible for the Japanese to take down Nuanquan Town in a short time.

Leaving the front line, Liu Gen returned to Nuanquan Town, and he knew that there would not be too big problems in the subsequent defense work.

After killing a Japanese infantry squadron, it takes a certain amount of time for the Japanese to draw troops. The next Japanese troops attacking Nuanquan Town will take a certain amount of time before they can come to Nuanquan Town. In other words, the soldiers have enough rest time to recover.

After a full day of training, the soldiers were still very tired, especially the guard company led by Xue Bing, who was even more capable in the battle and was more tired than other soldiers.

Shortly after Liu Gen returned to Nuanquan Town, the villagers of Nuanquan Town carried pots of hot rice to the front line, which were all the foods made by the villagers for the soldiers. Of course, these foods were obtained by Liu Gen for a certain amount of reward.

Many villagers refused to charge the ocean as reward, but at Liu Gen's strong request, these villagers still accepted it.

In such a war era, the lives of the villagers were already very hard, and Liu Gen did not want the lives of these villagers to become more difficult because of himself. It is a very good thing for both sides to use the ocean to exchange for the villagers to cook hot meals for the soldiers.

The soldiers were able to eat hot rice and eat hot dishes and devote themselves to the battle in a better state, while the villagers were able to get rewards for such behaviors and thus improve their lives.

I have to say that the villagers in Nuanquan Town are very simple. Liu Gen can see that the hot rice and hot dishes prepared by the villagers are full of portions, which should be able to make every soldier full.

When we arrived at the location of the wounded, there were also villagers cooking here. However, considering the status of the wounded, the foods made by these villagers seemed more refined and nutritious. Many villagers took out the good things that they were reluctant to eat in order to make the wounded recover better.

After walking the entire Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen felt relieved. The situation in Nuanquan Town is very good now, and it should be considered as the unity of the military and civilians.

Liu Gen believes that the defense work in Nuanquan Town will be easier. If the Eighth Route Army troops encounter difficulties in defense, the villagers of Nuanquan Town will definitely lend a helping hand without hesitation.

Compared with the time when the Japanese occupied Nuanquan Town, Nuanquan Town is undoubtedly more vibrant. The villagers of Nuanquan Town do not have to worry about provoking moody Japanese and losing their lives. Liu Gen and others' performance in Nuanquan Town made the villagers of Nuanquan Town very satisfied and were willing to cooperate with Liu Gen and others' defense work.

After finding a corner, Liu Gen took out the dry food on her body, ate it quickly with cold water.

Liu Gen felt that his condition was OK, and whether or not he had a hot meal would not have much impact on him. Besides, Liu Gen did not participate in the battle too much, and his physical energy was not consumed much, so eating some dry food was enough.

After eating dry food in the corner, Liu Gen quickly walked towards the temporary command post. He needed to ask about the next actions of the 120th Division of the Division. Nuanquan Town is very special. With the surrounding area where the 120th Division troops attract the attention of the Japanese, he can defend well.

However, once the troops of the 120th Division in the surrounding area are evacuated, especially the battles in Liulin County, Wubao County and Jiaokou County, they will affect the defense work of Nuanquan Town.

In order to do a good job in the defense of Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen needs to clearly understand the next actions of the 120th Division. If each unit really wants to evacuate, Liu Gen and others naturally need to keep up quickly. Otherwise, they will be left in Nuanquan Town by the Japanese and will become an isolated army that cannot be rescued.

Nuanquan Town has always maintained contact with the 120th Division headquarters. Commander He is also very concerned about Liu Gen's condition and is very worried about the danger Liu Gen encountered in the battle. Since the battle began, Liu Gen has fully demonstrated his ability. It is precisely because of Liu Gen that the battle has progressed so smoothly.

If it weren't for the fact that there were battles around Nuanquan Town that Liu Gen was risking to evacuate from Nuanquan Town, then Commander He would definitely withdraw Liu Gen directly to the 120th Division headquarters to ensure Liu Gen's safety.

From the contact with the 120th Division headquarters, Liu Gen clearly understood the combat situation in the surrounding area. Liulin County was still in the hands of the 120th Division, but it should not be possible to defend it. The Japanese attacks on Liulin County were very fierce, and the Japanese had firepower suppression from fighter jets and heavy artillery, which made it difficult for Liulin County to do defense work.

Even if the soldiers of the Deadly Death Spy Corps responsible for defending Liulin County rely on various defensive facilities to continuously launch counterattacks on the Japanese's attacks, they cannot prevent the Japanese from seizing Liulin County. The Death Spy Corps has strong combat effectiveness. It is precisely because of this that Liulin County is still in the hands of the 120th Division.

Tonight, the soldiers of the Death Sergeant Regiment will withdraw from Liulin County and give up the defensive work in Liulin County. In just two days of battle, more than half of the Death Sergeant Regiment suffered casualties. The two battalions of the 714th Regiment, which was responsible for assisting the Death Sergeant Regiment, also suffered casualties from one battalion.

It was really bombing and shelling of Japanese fighter jets and heavy artillery like money-free bombings, and Liulin County's defense facilities were relatively strong, so that the Deadly Spy Group could hold on until now.

After giving up Liulin County, Commander Chen of the Decisive Spy Corps will lead the remaining troops to Wubao County to assist in the defense of Wubao County. Next, Wubao County will become the focus of the next Japanese attack, with the Japanese having two infantry brigades around Wubao County.

In order to ensure that Wubao County's defense is foolproof, Commander He specially dispatched some of the troops from the 120th Division to Wubao County for support. At the same time, the cavalry detachment also became active behind the Japanese, destroying the Japanese's traffic routes and material transportation as much as possible.

As for the battle in Jiaokou County, it was not as bad as Liulin County. The Japanese did not regard Jiaokou County as the main direction of counterattack. In a short period of time, there should be no problems in the defense work in Jiaokou County.

In Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen's face was a little solemn. He expected that the Japanese could successfully capture Liulin County. The Japanese counterattack was very fierce this time, and the Japanese knew that they could not easily let the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army take away the county town.

Even if the Japanese have drawn some of their troops to the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese still do not want accidents on the Chinese battlefield. They need to maintain their deterrence on the Chinese battlefield.

The battle in Wubao County will become the focus of this battle. If the 120th Division can successfully defend Wubao County, the Japanese will have to stop counterattacking, shrink their troops, and lick their wounds. But if the Japanese take down Wubao County, the Japanese will have a stronger counterattack strength and will inevitably march towards the hinterland of the 120th Division's anti-Japanese base.

For the Japanese, whether they can take Wubao County is not that important and will not have much impact. Even if the 120th Division finds the opportunity to take down several county towns, the Japanese will not have much impact. Compared with the county towns that were taken back by the 120th Division, the Japanese still have a large area occupied by the Japanese.

But for the 120th Division, the battle in Wubao County cannot fail. The hinterland of the anti-Japanese base of the 120th Division is Yan'an. In order to ensure the safety of Yan'an, Wubao County must defend it! Only in this way can the Japanese troops avoid heading straight into Yan'an and directly approaching Yan'an, threatening the safety of the bosses.

Liu Gen was seriously thinking about what he could do in the next battle, but after careful consideration, he felt helpless and found that he could not do much. If he wanted to influence the battle in Wubao County, there were only two choices, either kill enough Japanese or kill the Japanese commander!

Among these two choices, it will be particularly difficult to achieve either. At least Liu Gen does not think he is capable of doing it. The artillery battalion of the 120th Division is in his hands, but due to the number of artillery shells, the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion cannot be fully utilized.

Liu Gen knew very well that he could not have much impact on the battle in Wubao County, even if he brought the artillery battalion to Wubao County. With the current state of the artillery battalion, it was difficult to kill the Japanese artillery, let alone the Japanese heavy artillery troops.

If the Japanese's heavy artillery troops cannot be killed, then they will not have much impact on the Japanese's attack.

Liu Gen frowned and thought, and he was eager to find a way, a way to affect the victory or defeat of Wubao County's defense. The defense work of Nuanquan Town will not have too many problems in the future. Liu Gen will not have much impact if he is not in Nuanquan Town.

It is precisely for this reason that Liu Gen wanted to intervene in the defensive battle in Wubao County and help the 120th Division win the defensive battle in Wubao County.

However, no matter how Liu Gen is, he cannot think of a good breakthrough. It is impossible to kill enough Japanese soldiers, and it is not easy for them to kill Japanese commanders.

The Japanese commander is not a fool. In such a battle, he will inevitably attach great importance to his own safety and cannot easily expose his own position.

If you want to kill the Japanese commander, you need to know the specific location of the Japanese commander. Only in this way can you have a little chance of killing the Japanese commander. Even if you can kill the Japanese commander, you will not be able to escape successfully.

The Japanese reacted slowly. If they were a little careless, they would definitely be surrounded and killed by the Japanese.

When they arrived at the front line, the comrades of the artillery battalion were repairing the defensive positions, while Xue Bing and other guard company soldiers were resting on the spot. It can be seen that the state of the guard company soldiers has recovered a lot, much better than when they just retreated from the battlefield.

"Xue Bing, come here." Liu Gen shouted directly when he saw Xue Bing.

Xue Bing quickly got up and ran to Liu Gen. He had a bandage wrapped around his arm. During today's battle, he was accidentally bitten by the Japanese bullet.

"Xue Bing, how do you think we can kill the Japanese commander?" Liu Gen asked with some anticipation.
Chapter completed!
