The soldiers in the artillery team looked excited. They were particularly excited when they thought that each of their squads could control a mortar.
In the next artillery bombardment of the Japs, the captain Liu Gen would not speak again. They had to rely entirely on their own abilities to bombard the Japs. Some soldiers who were confident in their own abilities would naturally be particularly excited when they got such an opportunity.
Satisfied, they also wanted to use this opportunity to prove their abilities and gain recognition from captain Liu Gen.
"Don't be so excited, everyone. Considering that the Japanese fighter planes are likely to come next, our artillery team will dispatch Type 92 infantry cannons and 81mm mortars this time. As for the mountain cannons, some soldiers brought them back in advance.
Go to the base area." Liu Gen said again.
The soldiers were slightly stunned. They knew the power of mountain artillery, and they also knew that only with mountain artillery could they have a certain advantage in dealing with Japanese artillery. But now? Liu Gen chose to transfer the mountain artillery back to the base area in advance, which made the soldiers
Some of us cannot understand that without mountain artillery, how should we deal with the enemy's artillery once again?
The Japanese are not fools. After the artillery team uses mountain cannons, they will definitely notice it. When the artillery is sent again, they will definitely bring the mountain cannons with them. Now Liu Gen has chosen to transfer the mountain cannons in the artillery team back. That doesn't mean
After returning the initiative in the battle to the Japanese, the soldiers' eyes were full of doubts. They couldn't figure out why Liu Gen did this.
"I know you all don't understand, but you just need to know that this battle will not last too long, and this Japanese raid is just a test," Liu Gen said.
Immediately, some soldiers of the artillery team understood that this time the Japs were testing, which meant that the battle was unlikely to expand again. What's more, once more Japs troops came to support, then the troops of the 386 Brigade would
They will also retreat decisively. If the retreat is too hasty, the mountain artillery carried by the artillery team will become a burden and hinder the progress of the soldiers.
"Let's take action! There won't be much time left for you! Make appropriate disguises and avoid being discovered by Japanese fighter planes as much as possible. Also leave me a mortar, I will be of great use." Liu Gen looked a little bit.
Seriously, no one is sure when the Japanese fighter planes will arrive, and the soldiers of the artillery team need to move quickly.
The soldiers acted quickly and after leaving a mortar behind, they each took their mortars and prepared to find a sufficiently concealed position to hide. Only a few soldiers chose to stay. They were very smart and knew that they could see
Captain Liu Gen has very few opportunities to take action. Now that Liu Gen has taken the initiative to ask for an 81mm mortar, he must take action himself. Thinking that Liu Gen once successfully shot down a Japanese fighter plane with a mortar,
Could it be that Liu Gen is going to do this again this time?
"Why are you staying here? Don't you need to fight on the front line?" Looking at the soldiers who stayed behind, Liu Gen asked.
The soldiers laughed and didn't say anything. Zhang Jun and Yungui were all in the team, and they were all very smart. Compared with fighting on the front line, you can definitely learn more by following the captain Liu Gen.
Many things. The soldiers made up their minds. Unless Liu Gen was really angry and asked them to leave, they would not choose to leave easily.
If I can see with my own eyes that Captain Liu Gen shoots down a Japanese fighter plane again, then the harvest left behind will be great enough. Even if Liu Gen fails to successfully shoot down a Japanese fighter plane, he can still learn from Captain Liu Gen.
Learn something.
"Okay, if you want to stay, then just stay." Liu Gen looked at these soldiers and said with a wry smile.
Carrying up a mortar left behind, without Liu Gen's instructions, the soldiers carried two boxes of artillery shells and a box of artillery shells modified by Liu Gen. These shells were enough for Liu Gen. If there were more, they might be
What's more, there are not many artillery shells left in the artillery team. If they are used without restraint, no matter how many shells they have, they won't be enough for Liu Gen.
The soldiers followed Liu Gen. They didn't know where Liu Gen was going, and no soldiers asked. They knew that following Liu Gen was the best choice. As for other things, they didn't need to care.
Liu Gen kept advancing, and he was getting closer to the front line position. However, considering that the Japanese fighter planes might launch an attack, he set his sights on the mountain forest about 500 meters away from the position. Staying in the mountain forest was suitable for Liu Gen.
Gen and others took cover to avoid being discovered by Japanese fighter planes and take precautions. From this point of view, the mountain forest is undoubtedly the most suitable location for deploying mortars.
When they came to the mountain forest, Liu Gen could see some soldiers standing guard here to prevent Japanese soldiers from sneaking in. Previously, Japanese soldiers sneaked around the artillery team's position, which made the brigade commander quite angry and severely reprimanded Li Yunlong.
and others, asked them why the Japs came in. After being reprimanded by the brigade commander, what could Li Yunlong and others do, but they could only send more soldiers to guard to prevent the Japs from coming in again.
Li Yunlong and others were a little lucky. They were glad that the Japanese did not touch the brigade headquarters, but only touched the area around the artillery team position. Otherwise, once a small Japanese force touched the brigade headquarters, they would definitely be punished. Li Yunlong and others
Knowing this clearly, we naturally did not dare to be careless at all. There was no fighting happening now, so we decisively sent out enough fighting forces to guard the surrounding area.
"Captain, aren't we a little far away here? Even if the Japanese fighter planes come, it will affect our field of vision." Zhang Jun looked at Liu Gen and couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Jun knows Liu Gen's character. As long as he has done nothing wrong and has a correct attitude, Liu Gen, the captain, will not care about his problems. Besides, Zhang Jun doesn't think there is anything wrong with him. Staying in the mountains and forests
The center is good and can maintain enough concealment, but for artillery, it is also very important to have a wide enough field of vision. At least Zhang Jun feels that staying in the mountains and forests is not a good choice.
The other soldiers were speechless, but they all agreed with Zhang Jun's words, but they didn't understand why Liu Gen, the captain, chose to do this. Since Zhang Jun could see it, Liu Gen, as the captain of the artillery team, should also understand.
Know this.
Liu Gen looked at Zhang Jun and the soldiers present, and he laughed, "Do you think vision is the most important thing for artillery?"
"I want to tell you, it's not that for artillery, sufficient concealment is the most important, especially for our Eighth Route Army artillery, sufficient concealment should be the first priority!"
