After leaving the arsenal, Liu Gen couldn't help but take another look at the valley. He was still a little reluctant to leave the arsenal suddenly.
"What? Don't you really want to leave?" the brigade commander looked at Liu Gen and asked with a smile.
Liu Gen smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have learned a lot during these few months in the arsenal, and I also know that we still have a lot to improve."
"If you want to win the battle against the Japanese on the front line, logistical support is very important. In order to ensure the supply of ammunition for the front-line soldiers, the workers in the arsenal had less than six hours of rest every day. The front-line soldiers were fighting
, aren’t the workers in the rear arsenal fighting?”
The brigade commander fell silent. He knew that Liu Gen was right. After a moment, he patted Liu Gen on the shoulder hard and gave up the idea of forcibly taking Liu Gen away from the arsenal.
No matter where he is, no matter where he is, with Liu Gen's character, he will definitely do it with all his strength and work hard for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War! Wherever Liu Gen can contribute his own strength, he may be able to do something
It's even better than being on the front line! The brigade commander still sees Liu Gen very much, and he believes in Liu Gen's abilities!
"Okay, let's set off!" the brigade commander said again.
Several soldiers came. They were the guards brought by the brigade commander to protect his safety. Due to the raids by Japanese troops in the base area, the brigade commander had to pay attention to his own safety.
Liu Gen looked at these soldiers, his brows furrowed slightly, and he found that Xiao Li was not among these soldiers. Liu Gen suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that there was something wrong with Xiao Li?
Xiao Li's skills shouldn't cause problems easily.
"Brigadier, why didn't you see Brother Li?" Liu Gen asked directly.
The expressions of the guards around him became heavy. Xiao Li often stayed with the brigade commander and could be said to be the captain of the guard. On weekdays, Xiao Li also taught them a lot of things. The team members got along well with Xiao Li.
It's also very good. They all know Xiao Li's situation clearly, so naturally they can't be happy.
The brigade commander was silent for a moment and said with some bitterness: "When I went to inspect the various regiments of our brigade, I encountered a small group of Japanese troops. The Japanese were very powerful. In order to protect me, Xiao Li was hit in the heart by a Japanese rifle.
He died on the spot."
"If Li Yunlong's independent regiment hadn't come to support in time, you might not have been able to see me at all."
Liu Gen froze on the spot, recalling his interactions with Xiao Li in his mind, and his eyes gradually became wet. The last time Liu Gen and Xiao Li met was when Liu Gen bid farewell to Liu Gen and headed to Guanjianao when the brigade commander said goodbye.
, Xiao Li didn’t say too much to Liu Gen, he just asked Liu Gen to recover from his injuries, and after he recovered, the two of them could compete again.
Who would have thought that the last parting would become an eternal farewell?
"During the battle on the front line, many comrades were killed or injured. On January 27, Director Su Jingcheng, director of the Political Department of our 386 Brigade, also unfortunately died. That night, Japanese troops attacked the brigade headquarters of our 386 Brigade. Director Su
When I checked the sentry at night, I discovered the enemy. It was he who shouted that the enemy was coming and get ready to fight! Let the soldiers in the brigade wake up in time and join the battle. This way we can prevent our brigade from being killed directly by the Japanese!"
"Unfortunately, Director Su's shouting was also discovered by the Japanese troops. The Japanese light machine guns fired at Director Su. Director Su was shot down on the cliff on the roadside and unfortunately rolled down into a ravine two hundred meters deep and died."
"Director Su was only 29 years old when he died. At that time, I thought, why not me? I am almost forty and have lived for most of my life. Even if I die, it will be nothing."
"..."
The brigade commander had a sad look on his face, and tears shone in his eyes. A man would not shed tears easily, but he had not yet reached the sad point. The brigade commander was extremely sad about Director Su’s sacrifice, but he still persisted. He was a member of the 386th Brigade.
Brigadier, he can't fall!
Looking at the sad-looking brigade commander, Liu Gen didn't know how to comfort him, but he also knew that the brigade commander didn't need his own comfort.
On weekdays, Liu Gen rarely sees the brigade commander showing any sadness and low mood. It seems that this man will never be beaten. But now looking at the brigade commander, Liu Gen realizes that the brigade commander is just an ordinary person, and he will also have
Sadness can also feel pain.
It's just that as the commander of the 386 Brigade, the brigade commander cannot fall. He needs to maintain enough confidence at all times and not let himself show the slightest sadness. Only in this way can the troops of the 386 Brigade maintain strong enough combat effectiveness and maintain
He has the belief that he must win. Being a brigade commander is very tiring. Liu Gen doesn’t know what he would be like if he stood in the position of a brigade commander. He shouldn’t be able to be like the brigade commander.
The brigade commander rubbed his eyes vigorously to prevent tears from flowing down. It was also because there were few people here and not in the 386th Brigade that the brigade commander showed such emotions.
"Let's go, let's set off. We can't waste too much time." The brigade commander said.
Without waiting for Liu Gen to answer, the brigade commander twitched the horse under him and rushed towards the division headquarters. Seeing this, Liu Gen naturally did not dare to hesitate and quickly chased after him.
Along the way, Liu Gen kept observing his surroundings, and from time to time he could see the craters left on the ground. This made him understand that the Japs were raiding the base area quite rampantly. In order to ensure order in the occupied areas, the Japs put more Japs in the occupied areas.
Troops, coupled with the stalemate between the Japanese and the National Army on the front line, made him focus on the Eighth Route Army troops in the occupied areas.
By the time Liu Gen and others successfully arrived at the headquarters, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, just in time to have dinner.
After a simple dinner, Liu Gen followed the brigade commander and walked towards the division headquarters. At this time, the division commander and others had not rested yet. All units of the 129th Division needed to make corresponding plans. The 129th Division was a thorn in the enemy's side.
, how to continue to develop under the noses of the Japs is a question that needs to be solved. The Japs continue to increase troops in the occupied areas, which puts various units of the Eighth Route Army feeling a lot of pressure, and the same is true for the 129th Division.
On the way to find the division commander, Liu Gen could see that the soldiers patrolling the division headquarters were very vigilant. The 129th Division headquarters and the Eighth Route Army headquarters were integrated into one body, so the soldiers naturally did not dare to slack off at all. In addition, what happened in January
That incident, which shocked both China and the rest of the world, made all units of the Eighth Route Army silently increase their vigilance, and even strengthened their defensive efforts.
"Brigadier Chen, the division commander has told us that after you and Captain Liu arrive, you two will be allowed in directly." The soldier in charge of the guard said as soon as he arrived at the combat command room.
The brigade commander smiled and nodded, and took Liu Gen directly into the combat command room. Even at night, there were still many people working in the combat command room, and the division commander was discussing with the chief of staff how to
Responding to the Japanese raids in the base areas. The Japanese raids in the base areas were very arrogant, but due to the loss of troops and weapons and ammunition of each unit, the Eighth Route Army units could no longer organize large-scale battles.
What's more, the Japanese's continuous raids on the base areas also let the headquarters know that the Eighth Route Army has attracted the attention of the Japanese, and large-scale battles cannot be carried out easily, otherwise it will only usher in more ferocious revenge from the Japanese!
