On June 5, Zhang Dabiao brought the first battalion back to the regiment headquarters for supplies. Liu Gen met Zhang Dabiao and said a few hurriedly, Zhang Dabiao left again.

On Zhang Dabiao's face, Liu Gen could see obvious fatigue. Obviously, the battle on the front line was not easy. Even Zhang Dabiao, a powerful general, was under a lot of pressure. Li Yunlong wanted to go to the front line to take the soldiers to fight, but now he is engaged in guerrilla warfare, and Li Yunlong has no good way to go to the front line.

However, the information learned from the brigade commander also made Li Yunlong know that the large-scale battle with the Japanese was not too far away, and the brigade commander was also ready to deal with the Japanese! The Japanese had a great appetite and found troops mobilized by Japanese in the east, south and north directions of the base area.

The development of the Eighth Route Army base made the Japanese feel a great threat. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army continued to launch attacks on railways everywhere, making the Japanese unable to defend themselves! Even though the Japanese were constantly strengthening the implementation of cage tactics, the actions of the various units of the Eighth Route Army made the Japanese cage tactics unable to achieve the effect they should have. Especially the newly built Nanguan Railway Station was destroyed, which made the Japanese even more angry.

Under the organization of Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese Front Army stationed in North China, this encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base was launched. Yoshio Shinozuka made sufficient preparations for this encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base, and mobilized the main forces of the 3rd, 9th, and 16th Brigades, part of the 26th and 41st Divisions, and a total of about 250,000 people, along with the puppet army!

When Li Yunlong learned of this news from the brigade commander, he also understood that the Japanese had made great moves this time. After taking office as commander of the 1st Army, Yoshio Shinozuka organized many encirclements and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka organized many encirclements and suppression, he still failed to win the encirclement and suppression. On the contrary, every encirclement and suppression caused heavy casualties from the Japanese! This time, Yoshio Shinozuka organized another encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base, allowing all the Eighth Route Army units to be on high alert.

The Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army is the local garrison force of the Japanese army. In terms of firepower level and mobility, the Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army cannot compare with the Standing Division of the Japanese Army. Generally speaking, the Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army has 5 independent infantry brigades and also has 4 or 6 independent infantry brigades. The brigade belongs to the special forces including artillery, cavalry, engineers, and baggage brigades, with a force of about 5,000! Compared with the Standing Division, the Independent Mixed Brigade has only three infantry squadrons, one less squadron than the brigade of the Standing Division, and the infantry artillery squadron was cancelled.

At the same time, the Independent Mixed Brigade has a cavalry brigade and an artillery brigade, which is not weak in combat compared with the Eighth Route Army. In the artillery brigade, there are four Type 41 75 mountain cannons and eight Type 38 75 field cannons, which can provide firepower and strike depths of more than 5 kilometers!

With the situation of the artillery company, if you encounter the Japanese mountain cannons and field cannons, you will not have any resistance at all. As long as the artillery company dares to expose its own position, it will be covered by the Japanese artillery fire.

After learning the relevant information from Li Yunlong, Liu Gen was in a particularly heavy mood. Damn, how should we fight? Unless we touched a position less than two thousand meters away from the Japanese artillery position, the mortars and infantry artillery in the artillery company's hand could pose a threat to the Japanese artillery position! And does the artillery company have such an opportunity? Liu Gen felt a little uneasy.

After leaving the regiment headquarters and returning to the artillery company, Liu Gen looked solemn. He also knew that the one who fought with the Independent Regiment would not be the brigade of the brigade, but at most it would be one of the brigades of the brigades, but Liu Gen still felt deeply powerless. With the situation of the artillery company, facing the artillery of the brigades, it was easy to pose a threat to the brigades.

Looking at the soldiers who were training in the artillery company, Liu Gen smiled bitterly. He was not going to tell the soldiers such information, which really made people feel a little desperate. Even though Liu Gen had enough confidence in himself and believed that his artillery skills were not inferior to those of the Japanese elite artillery, he was not sure to lead the artillery company to defeat the Japanese artillery.

After training with the artillery company soldiers, Liu Gen calmed down for a while and found that he was overthinking. The battle between the Independent Regiment and the Japanese would only focus on guerrilla warfare and would not choose to fight head-on with the Japanese.

The Japanese dispatched so many troops to fight head-on with the Japanese. With Li Yunlong in there, the independent regiment could not hold on.

Knowing that he would not have a head-on collision with the Japanese artillery, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he had the ambition of the Japanese, nor that he was afraid of the Japanese, but that the mortars were engaged in artillery battles with the Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery. The chance of victory was too small! Perhaps less than the range of the mortars, the Japanese discovered the artillery company and directly bombarded the artillery company from a long distance. The artillery company could not resist at all.

If Liu Gen also had mountain cannons and field cannons in his hands, he would not have much fear when facing the Japanese artillery. But helplessly, Liu Gen did not have mountain cannons or field cannons in his hands. In the 386th Brigade, there were not many mountain cannons, let alone in the independent regiment.

Instructing the squad leader to continue training with the soldiers, Liu Gen was wandering around. He needed to think carefully about what the artillery company should do in the next battle. There were many mortars in the artillery company, originally three, and the five jails transferred by Li Yunlong, there were as many as eight.

There are enough mortars, but the number of shells is not enough. If you really fire all your strength, the shells may be used completely without a few rounds! Zhang Dabiao and others on the front line were constantly fighting with the Japanese, but they did not capture much, but there were no shells at all.

In other words, the mortar shells cannot be supplemented in a short period of time, and Liu Gen is suffering from this problem.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

There were shouts of killing and horse hooves not far away. Liu Gen looked forward and could see soldiers from the cavalry company training hard in the open space not far away. Among them, a man with a beard and looking forty years old and short-haired attracted Liu Gen's attention.

Among a group of young soldiers, this man seemed a little conspicuous. Liu Gen's eyes lit up. Is this Sun Desheng, who Li Yunlong used five machine guns to exchange for the new regiment?

Looking at the cavalry company under training, Liu Gen found that the training of the cavalry company soldiers was very good, and they could clearly feel their sharpness. The soldiers were very skilled in fighting skills, and they should be not far from being able to fight to kill the enemy. There should be a lot of contributions to Sun Desheng.

"Company Commander Liu?" When Liu Gen was observing the cavalry company, Sun Desheng, who was training the soldiers, saw Liu Gen. He knew Liu Gen, but he had never had much interaction with Liu Gen.

Unlike Liu Gen, Sun Desheng's cavalry company has not been trained yet, so Li Yunlong naturally would not let him participate in any combat missions, which made Sun Desheng not appear in the regiment headquarters many times. But even so, Sun Desheng knew Liu Gen. It was because Liu Gen and the artillery company achieved too dazzling results.

In the independent regiment, there were almost no soldiers who didn't know that Liu Gen, the company commander of the artillery company, destroyed the command center of the Bantian United with one shot, bombed the Japanese artillery positions in the Battle of Dongshan, raided Wanjia Town, and used infantry artillery artillery to destroy the Japanese strongholds. In these battles, Liu Gen, the company commander of the artillery company, was there. How could the soldiers not notice Liu Gen?
