"Comrade Liu Gen, please rest assured that our artillery battalion has enough ability to kill this Japanese infantry squad!" Battalion Commander Wang said confidently.

Liu Gen shook his head directly and said helplessly, "Battlefield Commander Wang, I know the strength of the artillery battalion. It is not a problem to kill a Japanese infantry team with the strength of the artillery battalion."

"But as the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Battalion Commander Wang, you should also know the shooting level of the artillery battalion soldiers. Don't tell me that they are all sharpshooters. The artillery battalion can kill this Japanese infantry squad, but how much does it cost to kill this Japanese infantry squad?

"I wonder if Captain Wang, have you ever considered this matter?"

Battalion Commander Wang was silent. He wanted to say that it was not what Liu Gen thought, but he knew that what Liu Gen was saying was the fact that the shooting level of the artillery battalion soldiers was really not good, and there was no problem with shooting, but if you wanted to shoot, it seemed that it would take some luck to hit the Japanese.

With the situation of the artillery battalion, it is really not that easy to kill the Japanese infantry squad. Even if you can successfully kill the Japanese infantry squad, the price will be very high.

"Okay! Comrade Liu Gen, you can stay, but I will arrange two soldiers for you to ensure your safety." Battalion Commander Wang said seriously.

Liu Gen was a little helpless. He came to the trenches to fight, not to get protection from others, but to better kill the Japanese.

"I don't need anyone to protect me! With my strength, no one can protect me!" Liu Gen refused.

The face of Battalion Commander Wang did not change much. He knew that Liu Gen would not easily accept the protection of soldiers. During the period of time he was with Liu Gen, Battalion Commander Wang had already seen Liu Gen's character clearly. When he had the ability to solve the problem, Liu Gen would not choose to trouble others.

Even on the battlefield, Liu Gen was unwilling to let the soldiers protect him, as it would make him feel like he was a burden.

"This is the command of the division commander! Comrade Liu Gen, please obey the order!" Battalion Commander Wang said firmly.

Liu Gen smiled bitterly. Battalion Commander Wang moved out all the division commanders. What else can he say?

"Okay! Okay, then I'll find a soldier to follow me and be my guard for the time being." Liu Gen said helplessly.

Battalion Commander Wang nodded. He didn't have to arrange two guards for Liu Gen. Nuanquan Town's defense is very good. With a soldier following Liu Gen, I believe it is enough to ensure Liu Gen's safety. Moreover, when Liu Gen is in danger, no matter how many soldiers are arranged to protect him, it will not be of any effect.

"The enemy is coming soon! Get ready for battle." Seeing that Battalion Commander Wang wanted to say something, Liu Gen hurriedly said.

Suddenly, Battalion Commander Wang had no idea of ​​talking to Liu Gen. He needed to pay attention to the enemy's movements at all times. Once the enemy rushed into Nuanquan Town, he would become the sinner of the 120th Division.

With the defensive facilities of Nuanquan Town, not to mention resisting the attacks of the Japanese for too long, it can still be done in one or two days. The worst case scenario is, you can't throw Nuanquan Town away tonight!

"Comrades, don't worry, wait until the enemy reaches a 50-meter radius before firing, look forward to the gun, don't go crazy!" Battalion Commander Wang ordered loudly.

Considering the shooting skills of the soldiers of the artillery battalion, Battalion Commander Wang needs to get the enemy closer before firing, otherwise it would be a bit too difficult to cause enough casualties to the enemy. When it comes to artillery, Battalion Commander Wang will be very confident in the soldiers of the artillery battalion, but he does not have much confidence in shooting.

Now, Battalion Commander Wang can only hope that the soldiers of the artillery battalion can perform exceptionally and kill as many enemies as possible, so as to ensure that their casualties will not be too high.

Not far away, the Japanese troops marching suddenly stopped. They should have known that there were Eighth Route Army troops in Nuanquan Town, so they did not choose to launch an attack as soon as possible.

"This Japanese squad is a little cautious. It seems that the battle in the artillery battalion is a bit difficult to fight." Liu Gen looked at the stopping Japanese troops, his face looking a little solemn.

Not long after, several people came to Nuanquan Town with torches and reported their identities, "We are from the Guard Company of the 120th Division, and we are here to find Comrade Liu Gen."

"Guard Company?" Liu Gen's eyes appeared in the trench. There was a little doubt in his eyes. The 120th Division headquarters had a guard force. What was the situation with this guard company?

Battalion Commander Wang turned to look at Liu Gen beside him, "Comrade Liu Gen, what's going on with this guard company? Are they really from the guard company?"

Liu Gen shook his head with a wry smile, a little helplessness appeared in his eyes, "Battleman Commander Wang, I can't be sure if this is the guard company of our 120th Division. Why didn't the division commander notify me?"

"There is no notification from the division headquarters, and there should be some problems with the origin of this force."

Battalion Commander Wang nodded. He agreed with Liu Gen's statement. Before this army came, they did not receive orders from the division headquarters, so naturally they could not determine the specific identity of the army.

"Who is your commander? Let him come to see me!" Liu Gen shouted loudly in the trench.

"Instructor Liu, it's me! I'm Xue Bing!" Soon, a voice came from over there.

Liu Gen was a little surprised. Xue Bing? Why did Xue Bing come here?

"Xue Bing? Why are you here?" This time he came out, he didn't bring Xue Bing. Why did Xue Bing come here? He even brought so many soldiers.

Not far away, Xue Bing came over with a few soldiers. They did not bring any weapons, and they were obviously worried that Liu Gen and others would misunderstand. This time Xue Bing came, and received permission from the division commander. He was worried about Liu Gen's safety on the front line, so he asked Xue Bing to bring a soldier from the guard company to support him.

"It was the commander who asked us to come. The commander was worried about your safety, instructor." Xue Bing came to Liu Gen and explained seriously.

Battalion Commander Wang couldn't help but nodded. With Liu Gen's importance, the division commander was still very likely to do this, but why did the division commander not notify in advance?

"The commander asked you to come? Then why didn't we get the commander's notice in advance?" Liu Gen asked in confusion.

Xue Bing was a little helpless, "This is because of you, Instructor Liu. You have never wanted any guards. The division commander was worried that after telling you, you would not let us come, so he did not notify you in advance."

"In this battle, you didn't even take me as a guard, so why would the division commander not worry?"

Liu Gen smiled bitterly. Is this the reason? No wonder he didn't get the advance notice from Commander He. Liu Gen just felt that with his own strength, he would not have much effect on having a guard around him. Who would have thought that the commander would actually take such measures?

"Okay, it's my fault."

"Since they are comrades from our 120th Division, let these comrades come over. You can take over the defense work of Nuanquan Town." After confirming that Xue Bing and the others had no problems, Liu Gen said directly.

The artillery battalion is also very hard-working. They are doing the defense work in Nuanquan Town, and it is because Liu Gen has no other hands.

Now Xue Bing comes with a company's soldiers, so the soldiers of the artillery battalion can also go and rest. The strength of a company is enough to allow Nuanquan Town to establish a complete warning network. Moreover, the soldiers of this guard company were brought by Xue Bing from the 120th Division headquarters, and the combat power should not be underestimated.

With Xue Bing and others taking over, Battalion Commander Wang took the soldiers of the artillery battalion to rest, while Liu Gen talked with Xue Bing to learn about the latest combat progress.
