There is a city wall in Liulin County, which was left behind before. After the Japanese occupied the county town, it was reinforced and repaired.

Now, the city wall has become an important support for Captain Chen to defend Liulin County. With the city wall, it can at least delay the Japanese for enough time. Unless the Japanese directly mobilize enough heavy artillery, they can destroy the city wall of Liulin County in the shortest time.

"Buzz" "Buzz"

"Captain, the Japanese plane is here."

Commander Chen looked into the air and could see a few black dots in the air approaching Liulin County quickly. It was the Japanese fighter jets. The Japanese didn't have many fighter jets. Originally, Commander Chen thought that the Japanese might dispatch more than a dozen or even more fighter jets at a time.

But now there are only a few Japanese fighter planes coming, which means that the pressure on Liulin County's defense is not as great as expected.

But even so, Commander Chen still dared not look down on the slightest. With the situation of the Eighth Route Army, he did not have enough air defense power in his hands and had no way to deal with the fighter jets attacked by the Japanese.

At this time, Commander Chen suddenly thought of Liu Gen. He had heard of Liu Gen's achievements in killing several Japanese fighter jets. If Liu Gen was in Liulin County, it might still be a certain threat to Japanese fighter jets.

As for the artillery soldiers in Liulin County now, they do not have the strong ability as strong as Liu Gen, so they naturally cannot pose a threat to the Japanese fighter jets.

Commander Chen shook his head. He knew that it was impossible to keep Liu Gen in Liulin County. Even if Liu Gen was willing, the headquarters and the bosses of Yan'an would not agree. Commander Chen just thought about it. He knew how dangerous Liu Lin County's next defense was. Liu Gen was a talent and he didn't want any problems to occur.

"Everything is arranged, right? Let the comrades hide it and don't be discovered by the Japanese fighter planes." Captain Chen asked.

"All arrangements have been made, and the people in the county town have been evacuated. If they are transferred, they have entered the air raid shelter if they do not want to move." A soldier replied.

After occupying Liulin County, Commander Chen carried out the evacuation of the people in the county town. Most of the people followed the arrangements of the soldiers, and only a few stubborn elements made some noise.

"Very good!" Captain Chen nodded with satisfaction.

When the Japanese fighter jets arrived over Liulin County, they could find that Liulin County was particularly quiet, which made the Japanese pilots realize that the Eighth Route Army had long been prepared to deal with the air strikes. But even so, the Japanese fighter jets still dived down quickly and threw out all the aviation bombs in the bullet bay.

The aviation bomb roared down from the air and landed in Liulin County. The sound of explosions continued to sound, and some buildings were directly blown up by the Japanese shells. Fortunately, under the aviation bombs dropped by the Japanese, there were no large casualties except for a few people who were unwilling to hide in the air defense facilities.

Several aviation bombs fell on the city walls of Liulin County, blowing up obvious gaps. The destructive power of aviation bombs is too great, and even the city walls are difficult to avoid being affected.

After the bomb drop, the Japanese fighter plane left as soon as possible. Without the traces of the Eighth Route Army troops, the Japanese pilots naturally had no need to control the dive shooting of the fighter plane, which was a waste. The Japanese fighter planes could not use much, and they could not achieve enough results without the traces of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

When the Japanese fighter planes left, the soldiers quickly appeared on the city wall. Some soldiers kept their guard, while the other soldiers quickly repaired the gaps in the city wall. The city wall is an important defensive facility for the soldiers of the Death Spy Group to resist the Japanese attack. It is still very necessary to repair the city wall.

There was not much time left for the soldiers to repair the city wall. Twenty minutes later, the Japanese troops appeared in the sight of the soldiers of the Death Spy Group. Looking from the city wall, you could see that the Japanese used a lot of troops, with three or four brigades. The only thing that is thankful is that they did not see heavy artillery in the Japanese team.

If the Japanese really carry heavy artillery, then Commander Chen would consider evacuating Liulin County in the shortest time. After all, for the Japanese heavy artillery, Liulin County is a fixed target. As long as there are enough shells, the Japanese cannons can repeatedly bombard Liulin County with shells.

"Let the soldiers be prepared! The next one will be a fierce battle!" Captain Chen put down the telescope in his hand, his face looking quite ugly.

From the telescope, Commander Chen could see that the Japanese chose to divide their troops. The four Japanese brigades directly chose to attack the four aspects of Liulin County. It can be seen that these Japanese were very confident and were preparing to eat the Eighth Route Army troops in Liulin County in one bite.

Compared with the Japanese, the troops in the hands of Commander Chen are somewhat insufficient. His troops are only about 2,000, and the troops in the Japanese attack are twice as strong as his. But even so, Commander Chen has a certain confidence in defending Liulin County. If he cannot easily destroy the Liulin County wall, it is difficult for the Japanese to exert too much military advantage.

In the opinion of Captain Chen, the Japanese were a bit too arrogant when doing this. Even if the Japanese troops had strong combat effectiveness, it did not mean that the Japanese could take over Liulin County in a short time.

Soon, the battle in Liulin County began. The commander of the Japanese troops was very proud and had no idea of ​​exploring the attack at all. He directly launched a full-scale attack on Liulin County. After the Japanese used mortars to bombard the Japanese soldiers from all directions rushed towards the city wall.

The Japanese soldiers are not weak in combat power. When charging, they do not forget to find cover and make various tactical actions.

But unfortunately, these Japanese soldiers rarely fight siege wars. They are the garrison troops of the Japanese in the occupied areas and have no experience in fighting siege wars. Even if these Japanese perform well, they cannot avoid the Eighth Route Army soldiers hiding behind the city wall and shooting continuously. The mortars in the Japanese's hands are not enough to put the firepower pressure on the city wall.

After the Japanese soldiers rushed to less than fifty meters away from the city wall, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in charge of defense directly opened fire, and the heavy machine guns and light machine guns fired at the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers rushing forward could not find enough bunkers. A large number of Japanese soldiers fell down, and in less than a minute, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were directly killed.

Before the Japanese commander could give the order to retreat, the Japanese soldiers decisively searched for cover and hid. These Japanese soldiers knew very well that with the firepower exposed by the Eighth Route Army, they continued to charge, and they were completely dying. Even if the Japanese soldiers survived by chance, it would be difficult to play a big role.

After seeing the vitality of Liulin County defense, the commanders of various Japanese infantry brigades became a little silent. They realized that it was not easy for them to take down Liulin County before they could not get rid of the firepower point of the Eighth Route Army on the city wall.

The Japanese commanders tried to use mortars to launch artillery on the city walls, but unfortunately, the Japanese artillery skills were not that good. In addition, the power of mortar shells was limited, so the mortar did not play its due role. Of course, there are also reasons why the Japanese chose to divide their troops.

If these Japanese gathered all the artillery, even mortars could have a great impact on the defense of Liulin County. Unfortunately, these four Japanese infantry brigades chose to divide their troops. It would be difficult for these four Japanese infantry brigades to unite before there was a sufficiently powerful commander.

"Let the comrades be more vigilant. It's nothing to fight off the Japanese attacks. Compared with the Japanese, we don't have much advantage." Captain Chen did not relax, but became more vigilant.

The defending soldiers naturally understood that they hid behind the city walls. Apart from the soldiers responsible for observing the Japanese, the other soldiers did not dare to relax at all. From the attacks launched by the Japanese, these soldiers could see that the Japanese had sufficient troops, and compared with the Japanese, they only had some advantage in the territory.

Throughout the morning, the Japanese tried to attack Liulin County continuously, but every time they attacked, they were successfully repelled by the defensive soldiers.

However, after successfully repelling the Japanese attack, the soldiers could not see any joy on their faces. These Japanese were very smart. After they realized that they would not be able to take down Liulin County in a short period of time, they organized Japanese soldiers to launch attacks in the form of a small team, so that the soldiers responsible for defense could not get any rest time.

The Japanese squad has good combat power, and the soldiers cannot allow the Japanese squad to approach the city wall, otherwise it will be easy for the Japanese squad to open a gap, which will allow the Japanese to successfully rush into the county town. The city wall is the only advantage of the soldiers' defense. Unless it is forced, the soldiers are unwilling to give up the city wall easily.

On the city wall north of Liulin County, Commander Chen looked tired. The Japanese continued to attack in the form of a team, which consumed too much energy from the soldiers. At the same time, Commander Chen was sure that the Japanese must have been planning a big move, and the defense in the afternoon was the most critical moment.

This time, the 120th Division took advantage of the Japanese's unpreparedness to capture the five Japanese counties in one fell swoop. With the Japanese's character, they would inevitably launch a fierce revenge. In other words, the Japanese's counterattack was fierce, and they would definitely want to resolve the battle in the shortest time. Only in this way can the stability of the Japanese occupied areas be ensured.

The Japanese counterattack requires certain results. These Japanese cannot regain the county town occupied by the 120th Division in the shortest time. Then other anti-Japanese troops in the Japanese occupied areas will inevitably take action. The Japanese are very clear about this, and the Eighth Route Army is also very clear about it.

In the current battle, the regiment commander Chen needs to lead the soldiers to delay the Japanese for enough time, and it doesn’t take too much. As long as there are three days, the Japanese do not achieve enough results within three days, and it will be difficult for the Japanese to continue to calm down in the area occupied by the Japanese!
