Leaving the regiment headquarters with Captain Niu, Liu Gen asked his doubts. He knew Captain Niu's physical condition and he could still be the captain for a few more years.
"Captain Niu, you said at the regiment headquarters that you wanted to hand over the artillery team to me. Do you mean you want to leave the artillery team?" Liu Gen looked at Captain Niu and asked.
Captain Niu was silent for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I will leave the artillery team after this battle, and then the artillery team will be handed over to you. I hope you can bring the artillery team out, and I hope you will be with the artillery team."
Under his leadership, the combat effectiveness becomes stronger.”
Noticing that Captain Niu's expression was a little sad, Liu Gen realized that something must have happened to Captain Niu, but what exactly was going on? After thinking for a moment, Liu Gen could not think of the answer, but Liu Gen could
Given Captain Niu's feelings for the artillery team, it would be impossible for him to leave the artillery team easily. Is there something wrong with Captain Niu's health?
"Captain Niu, is there something wrong with your health?" Looking at Captain Niu, Liu Gen asked again.
Captain Niu laughed, "Okay, you kid, don't guess. I left the artillery team because I have more important things to do. Don't worry, my health is fine."
The two of them were walking back to the artillery company. This time Captain Niu did not bring all the personnel of the artillery team, but only brought one-third of the soldiers of the artillery team. Only three artillery pieces were brought for support.
Mountain artillery. There are other troops in the 386th Brigade. The Japanese troops they face also need artillery support from the brigade. What's more, except for the mountain artillery, the power of other artillery in the brigade does not have much impact on the Liao County occupied by the Japanese.
threaten.
Besides, there are five or six 81mm mortars in the artillery battery. When it comes to actual combat, these mortars are enough.
"Genzi, you will be responsible for commanding the soldiers of the artillery company and artillery team in the next battle. You will soon go to the artillery team at the brigade headquarters. It will be good to get used to commanding the soldiers early." As we were about to walk to the artillery company.
, Captain Niu spoke again.
Liu Gen nodded vigorously. Relying on the power of the system, he successfully improved his combat command skills to the top. He knew how to be a good commander. Now let Liu Gen command the soldiers of the artillery company and artillery team. He no longer has that ability.
Liu Gen resisted a lot and chose to refuse before because Liu Gen knew that his commanding ability was not very strong. If he was allowed to command, it would easily cause casualties to the soldiers.
Now that combat command skills have been improved, under his command, the soldiers can cooperate more efficiently and their combat effectiveness will become stronger.
Liu Gen and the two returned to the artillery company and announced the next battle plan. The artillery was the main force in attacking Guiziliao County this time. On the way back, Liu Gen was also seriously thinking about how the artillery company should respond to the next battle.
, the mountain cannon is very powerful and has a long range, so there is no need to worry about the enemy being a threat to the mountain cannon.
Rather than directly announcing the next battle plan, Liu Gen felt that it was better to be cautious. After the cavalry company borrowed three horses, Liu Gen led his soldiers to inspect the surrounding areas of Liao County, hoping to find a suitable location.
Artillery position. Considering that the Independence Tu's attack on Liao County would be postponed to night, Liu Gen knew that he needed to observe the Liao County occupied by the Japanese in advance. Attacking Liao County at night would reduce the casualties of the soldiers, but it would also increase the
The difficulty of artillery hits.
In the darkness of night, even an artilleryman like Liu Gen could not say that he was 100% sure that there would be no mistakes. Only by memorizing the specific situation in Liao County in advance in the back of his mind could Liu Gen ensure the accuracy of the artillery attack.
Taking this into consideration, Liu Gen led two soldiers towards the location of the Japanese army in Liao County. When they were still some distance away from Liao County, Liu Gen and the others dismounted, leaving one soldier to guard the horse. Liu Gen and the other
A soldier quietly moved toward Liao County.
Because Liu Gen and the other three were wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms, Liu Gen could not get too close to the Japanese soldiers in Liao County. He did not want to deliver food to the Japanese soldiers. They were still three hundred meters away from Liao County, so Liu Gen took out the telescope he carried with him.
This was previously captured by the Independent Regiment from the Japanese.
Being able to obtain a telescope is also due to the special nature of the artillery company. Otherwise, something as precious as a telescope would not be easily distributed to the company. In the Eighth Route Army, telescopes have not yet been distributed to the company level. There is no way, who can let
Telescopes can only rely on seizures?
Hiding behind a small slope, Liu Gen kept observing the Japanese capital. The defense of Liao County was similar to that of other counties. There were two heavy machine gun positions at the gate. The county seat of Liao County was not high and was built with blue bricks.
The city wall has shooting holes on it.
Liu Gen kept looking at the blue bricks on the city wall with his telescope. Liu Gen could tell that these bricks must be old. After occupying Liao County, the city wall in Liao County was not damaged too much, so the Japanese did not choose to rebuild it again.
His eyes fell on the city gate below the city tower. Liu Gen nodded. The city gate was just an ordinary city gate. Ordinary mortars could probably blast it open. Of course, once the Eighth Route Army attacked Liao County, the defenders of Liao County
The Japanese will definitely pile bricks and other materials behind the gate of Liao County to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking.
Liu Gen kept thinking, with a gleam in his eyes, and he roughly had the idea of attacking Liao County. As long as the artillery company can blast down the city gate of Liao County at the first time, then with the firepower of the independent regiment, he wants to rush to the county seat of Liao County
It can still be done.
As for the Japanese infantry squadron and puppet troops defending in Liao County, Liu Gen didn't take it seriously. With the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, it was still possible to kill a Japanese infantry squadron. Besides, there was artillery support from the artillery company.
In addition, there are soldiers from the Pingliao detachment in Liao County. Once launched, it will cause chaos in the county town of Liao County. This will also involve some Japanese troops and reduce the pressure on the independent regiment to attack Liao County.
After the observation, Liu Gen and his soldiers prepared to leave. In order to observe Liao County, he spent half an hour. The soldiers who followed Liu Gen at the side were always vigilant to prevent the two of them from being discovered by the Japanese. Also.
The Japanese had no intention of patrolling, otherwise Liu Gen and the two of them might still be exposed.
"Company commander, have you done your observation?" the soldier asked when he saw Liu Gen put away the telescope.
Liu Gen nodded, with a smile on his face, "The observation is almost done. After returning to the artillery company, I can assign you combat missions. Take down the Japanese Liao County and replenish the ammunition consumption of our independent regiment.
Let the soldiers avenge the dead villagers!"
After receiving Liu Gen's affirmation, the soldier's face showed joy. He was a soldier of the artillery company, and naturally he would not think that Liu Gen, the company commander, was lying. In the artillery company, the soldiers were very respectful to Liu Gen, the company commander.
Respect and worship.
"Wait a minute!" When Liu Gen was about to lead the soldiers away, he suddenly pushed down the soldiers who were about to stand up, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
The soldier was slightly startled. He followed Liu Gen's gaze and could see a group of Japanese soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms and helmets walking quickly towards the Liao County seat.
The soldier looked at Liu Gen. He didn't understand why Liu Gen was so solemn. He wanted to say something, but Liu Gen pressed him down again. It was also because the soldier had enough respect for Liu Gen that he did not choose to resist.
Liu Gen lay down behind the hillside, pressing his body close to the ground. There was obvious shock on his face. The soldiers around him did not recognize these Japanese, but how could Liu Gen not recognize them?
After waiting for a moment, Liu Gen raised his head again and saw these specially equipped little Japs entering Liao County. This made him take a deep breath. Liu Gen did not expect that the independent regiment would attack the Japs in Liao County.
At a critical moment, he unexpectedly encountered these special Japs. He was certain that these Japs should be the Japs Special Agent Team formed by Kazuki Yamamoto!
"Let's go! Let's go back! There are changes in the attack on Liao County!" Liu Gen said with a solemn expression.
The soldier quickly stood up and followed Liu Gen's footsteps. He was still a little confused. He didn't understand why Liu Gen was so dignified. Didn't those Japs seem to have nothing? The equipment was a bit special, and the military uniforms they wore were different from ordinary Japs.
