At dawn, as soon as the workers at the Huangyadong Arsenal got up to wash up, they could hear the roar of artillery.
Without the need for notification from the heads of various departments, the workers knew that it was probably the Japanese who were calling. After a brief panic, they quickly calmed down. The workers had worked in the Huangyadong Arsenal for so long and had known it for a long time.
How strong the defense of Huangya Cave is, the Japanese can't easily break in.
Soon, under the arrangement of the heads of each department, the workers uniformly entered the fortifications. As the Japanese artillery fire continued to extend, casualties would easily occur if they continued to stay outside.
After bringing the workers back to the fortifications that had been prepared long ago, the people in charge, headed by Foreman Qi, began to continuously move valuable machine tools. It was safe to stay in the fortifications, but they had to watch the machine tools in the arsenal being destroyed.
, Engineer Qi and the others simply cannot do it.
Considering the safety of the workers, Foreman Qi and others did not mobilize the workers, but many workers still left the fortifications to help Foreman Qi and the others move the machine tools. However, the transfer of the machine tools was not that easy, even when Liu Gen was rushing
After arriving, he ordered the students from the artillery school to join the team of transferring machine tools, but failed to transfer several valuable machine tools.
Liu Gen did not join the movement of machine tools. He was carefully observing the landing point of the Japanese shells and judging how long it would take for the Japanese shells to reach Huangya Cave.
From the explosion of the Japanese artillery shells, Liu Gen could tell that these shells that were continuously extending towards the Huangyadong Arsenal came from the Japanese Type 94 mountain cannon and the Type 96 150mm night combat howitzer. Such calibers were already
The heavy artillery in the mouth of the Japanese troops.
Faced with the crazy bombardment of the Japanese artillery troops, the soldiers of the headquarters special agent group responsible for guarding Huangyadong could only hide in the fortifications and did not dare to show their heads easily. It was also due to the special terrain of the Huangyadong area that even the Japanese
It is difficult for artillery units to cause much damage to the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
If we were to fight the Japs in another place, the Japs' heavy artillery, mountain cannons, and mortars would be enough to suppress the firepower of the Headquarters Secret Service Group, and could even easily defeat the Headquarters Secret Service Group.
At this time, Captain Ou had already begun commanding the soldiers of the headquarters' secret service group. He continuously asked the soldiers to enter various fortifications in Huangyadong to block the Japanese attack after the shelling. On the first day when the Japanese were discovered,
Immediately, the secret service team of the headquarters reported the news of the Japanese invasion of Huangya Cave to the headquarters, which gained the attention of the bosses of the headquarters.
After knowing that the Japs troops quietly appeared in Huangyadong and took the initiative to attack Huangyadong, Mr. Peng handed over the task of defending the Huangyadong arsenal to the headquarters secret service group. He believed that the headquarters suddenly had the head of the secret service group in Europe.
Under his command, he was able to successfully complete the defense work of the Huangyadong Arsenal.
Faced with the attack of the Japanese troops, Captain Ou did not dare to show any contempt. Since the Japanese troops were equipped with heavy artillery, which could be fired from mountain artillery, the Japanese should have mastered the relevant information about the Huangyadong Arsenal and would not use the Huangyadong Arsenal.
Once captured, they will not retreat easily. As for the support from surrounding friendly forces, Captain Ou does not have high hopes. With such a large number of Japanese troops, even if there are troops who want to support, it will not have much effect.
What's more, with the firepower displayed by the Japanese troops, Commander Ou did not want troops to come to support him. Without the special terrain conditions of Huangyadong, if there were troops to support him, there would inevitably be a large number of casualties. Before reporting to the headquarters,
Captain Ou took this into consideration when reporting the relevant situation, and I believe the bosses at the headquarters will notice it.
Looking at the artillery fire that the Japs kept looking at, Captain Ou looked solemn. The Japs didn't care about the artillery shells. This only shows that the Japs have enough artillery shells, otherwise it would be impossible to waste them like this. And they have prepared enough artillery shells and mobilized so many artillery shells.
The troops are coming, and all this needs to be based on the Japanese determining the location of the Huangyadong arsenal.
The fact that the Japs were able to act so quickly and with sufficient preparation this time undoubtedly shows that someone exposed the location of the Huangyadong Arsenal, but I don’t know who caused the exposure of the Huangyadong Arsenal!
Commander Ou kept arranging the soldiers of the Secret Service Regiment. He could only hope that he could successfully defend the Huangyadong Arsenal. The Secret Service Regiment did not have many troops, less than a thousand people, but with such a force, it was necessary to resist the Japanese.
More than 5,000 people attacked. To be honest, Captain Ou was not sure. He didn’t know whether he could defend it!
But Captain Ou knew that as long as he was alive, the Huangyadong Arsenal would definitely not be lost. If the Huangyadong Arsenal was occupied by the Japanese, it would only mean that he had been sacrificed.
Adjusting his military cap, Captain Ou rushed towards the front line. He wanted to command the battle at the front line, and only at the front line could he ensure that he could grasp the news of the Japanese troop mobilization as soon as possible and do a good job in response.
…
In the Huangyadong arsenal, Liu Gen was constantly calculating the landing point of the extended Japanese artillery fire. There was an obvious look of anxiety on his face. According to the current speed of the Japanese artillery fire, he would reach the location of the arsenal in two more rounds. The only thing worth it is
Fortunately, most of the workers hid in the Huangya Cave. Even if the Japanese artillery shells attacked, there would not be any casualties.
Unless the Japanese artillery successfully fired the shells into Huangya Cave, the workers would be safe enough if they stayed in Huangya Cave.
"Foreman Qi, we can no longer move these machine tools, the Japanese artillery shells are coming soon! Now everyone is retreating into Huangya Cave, the Japanese bombardment is coming!" Liu Gen quickly came to Engineer Qi.
Beside you, shouted loudly.
Foreman Qi stopped what he was doing and looked at Liu Gen. He could see the seriousness on Liu Gen's face. Thinking that Liu Gen was still the "gun god" among the soldiers, Foreman Qi realized the seriousness of the problem and he quickly
Shouting loudly to the workers present to retreat to avoid casualties from the Japanese shelling.
What made Liu Gen and Foreman Qi a little helpless was that the workers and department heads present did not stop what they were doing. They were unwilling to give up these machine tools in the factory. Everyone knew the importance of machine tools.
, and everyone knows that it is not easy to manufacture machine tools. Now that the conditions of the arsenal have finally improved a little, they have been attacked by the Japanese troops.
From the perspective of the department heads and workers, even if they all die here, the machine tools must be moved out.
"Students of the artillery school, listen to the order! Take everyone away immediately! Immediately!"
"Comrades, people are more important than machine tools. Even if these machine tools are destroyed, as long as our people are still there, we can create better machine tools! Comrades, retreat! The enemy's artillery fire is coming!" Liu
Gen shouted loudly.
Under Liu Gen's order, the artillery school students who were helping the workers move the machine tools also took action. They directly pulled the workers and ran towards Huangya Cave. These students all knew that the principal Liu Gen was
It's awesome, and everyone believes that Liu Gen's judgment will not have any problems. The enemy's shells are coming soon, so they must be coming soon!
Under the guidance of Liu Gen and the artillery school instructors, the trainees have long understood one truth, that is, as artillerymen, the rarest branch of the Eighth Route Army, they need to put their lives first. Only by surviving can they be better.
to bring out their own value!
Soon, with the efforts of Liu Gen and others, all department heads and workers of the arsenal were taken away from the factory, and they all rushed towards the location of Huangyadong.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
"..."
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Huangyadong, the Japanese artillery shells fell on the factory building of Huangyadong Arsenal. A loud explosion was heard, and the factory was greatly damaged, especially the machine tools in it. The only thing worth celebrating is that,
The Japanese's artillery fire chose to continue extending and did not continue to bombard the factory, otherwise the damage to the arsenal would be even more serious!
"We must move immediately. We received an order from the headquarters to order our arsenal to move." Director Xu waited until Liu Gen and others came in, then left and announced.
Liu Gen nodded. This was not beyond his expectation. Before the Japanese attacked Huangyadong, the Eighth Route Army was aware of it, and the headquarters secret service group once again strengthened the defenses of Huangyadong. At the same time, in the past few days,
, the bosses from the headquarters have also been to Huangyadong and personally explored the terrain conditions of Huangyadong, which also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
Liu Gen was still a little confused before and didn't understand what was going on, but now Liu Gen understood that the Japs' actions should have been discovered by the scouts of the Eighth Route Army. For this reason, the bosses played a big game of chess, Huangyadong
The defense of the arsenal is even more top priority!
"Immediately organize workers to transfer machine tools, as well as supplies and ammunition from the arsenal. We cannot leave a single stitch for the enemy!"
"Starting the transfer work now may be life-threatening, but I hope everyone can persist. Only when our arsenal has completed the transfer work can the comrades responsible for security work on the front line truly feel relieved!" Director Xu shouted loudly!
Having said that, time is of the essence, and the transfer of the arsenal must begin as soon as possible.
Moreover, the enemy's artillery fire has spread far away, and now is the most suitable time for transfer. With the number of machine tools and materials in the arsenal, it will take at least two or three days to complete the transfer! The soldiers of the special agent group responsible for the security of Huangyadong Arsenal
Whether we can successfully withstand the Japanese attack for two or three days is the most important thing.
"Genzi, please stay with me this time. The bosses hope that you can evacuate safely to avoid danger."
"Genzi, you are also a very powerful artilleryman. I would also like to ask you to observe the movements of the Japanese artillery to prevent us from being attacked by the Japanese artillery." Director Xu came to Liu Gen and said directly.
Liu Gen is a good artilleryman and has a very good record. However, in such a battle, Liu Gen cannot play a big role at all. No matter how powerful he is, what can he do? The strength of one person cannot easily defeat a battle.
The battle caused too much impact. Rather than letting Liu Gen participate in the battle as an artilleryman, the bosses hoped that Liu Gen could safely evacuate and continue to use Liu Gen's abilities.
"How could the bosses give such an order? This seems to be looking down on me too much." Liu Gen said helplessly.
Although Liu Gen had some guesses that the bosses would not allow him to enter the battlefield easily, he did not expect that this day would come so quickly. As an artilleryman, being unable to enter the battlefield is the most painful thing!
"Genzi, the bosses are doing this for your own good. Everyone hopes that you will encounter any danger on the battlefield."
"In our arsenal, even if all of us die, you can't have any problems. Even if you die, you have to die behind us! Genzi, you are very good. We all feel that you are the most important in the arsenal.
Without you, the arsenal would not have been able to develop so quickly!"
"Just stay with me this time and don't run around. Let's complete the transfer of the arsenal together!" Director Xu's eyes were filled with determination. He clearly knew Liu Gen's abilities and the importance of Liu Gen! Even if
Without the instructions of the bosses, he would not let Liu Gen enter the battlefield easily!
Looking at Factory Director Xu with a firm attitude, Liu Gen could only nod helplessly. Faced with this situation, what could he do? He could only obey Factory Director Xu's instructions.
"Director Xu, let's do this. I'll send Wang Chao and several instructors from the artillery school to the special agent group to assist them in their defense. Their artillery skills are pretty good. I believe that with their joining, the soldiers of the special agent group can also easily
Some." Liu Gen said after a moment of silence.
This time, Factory Director Xu had no objections to being able to become the instructors of the artillery school. Wang Chao and the others were very capable. Having them join the special agent group would indeed play a lot of roles.
After Liu Gen told Wang Chao and the other instructors about this matter, Wang Chao and the others had no objections. As artillerymen, there will always be times when they go to the battlefield. The training of the students was just halfway through.
It is naturally impossible to enter the front line and participate in the battle. Only these instructors are the most suitable candidates.
"Principal Liu, thank you for giving us this opportunity! We will let the Japanese see the power of our Eighth Route Army artillery!"
Wang Chao and others turned around and left. Their steps were very fast. When they left, they did not have the slightest fear. Instead, they were extremely excited about the upcoming battle. For Wang Chao and others, they were ready to join the special agent group with them.
Fight, then they are ready to die! For Wang Chao and others, death is not terrible, as long as they can kill the Japanese, they can do whatever they want.
Perhaps Wang Chao's only regret is that after they leave, there will be some problems with the training progress of the students. After all, without them, there will not be enough instructors in the artillery school to be responsible for the training of the students!
Watching Wang Chao and the others leave, Liu Gen's mood dropped. He didn't know if Wang Chao and the others could come back from the battlefield, but as soldiers and artillerymen, the battlefield would be their destination.
