Following Liu Gen's order, the artillery battalion soldiers who had been prepared immediately opened fire. At the same time, Liu Gen also controlled a mortar to attack the Japanese gun tower. There were several exposed windows on the Japanese gun tower. Liu Gen
It is necessary to drive the shells into the gun tower to cause enough damage to the Japanese in the gun tower.
The night still had an impact on Liu Gen. The moment the first shell was fired, Liu Gen realized that the shell would not be able to successfully hit the Japanese window. After slightly adjusting the angle of the mortar, Liu Gen took it from the soldier behind him.
After passing a shell, it hit the Japanese artillery tower again.
"boom"
This time, the artillery shell successfully flew into the Japanese gun tower, and exploded with a muffled sound.
In the turret, when the cabinet reacted and was about to launch a counterattack, he saw a shell flying into the turret, landing right in the middle of the newly gathered Japs, directly injuring these Japs. Before these Japs could make any further moves,
Once again, two artillery shells fell into the gun tower, making it impossible for the Japanese in the gun tower to organize an effective counterattack.
At the same time, Battalion Commander Zhang led the soldiers to rush to the vicinity of the Japanese artillery tower. Seeing this, Liu Gen directly changed the target of the bombardment. With Battalion Commander Zhang here, the Japanese artillery tower that could not organize an effective counterattack would surely be easily attacked.
Take it.
The soldier behind Liu Gen was a little stunned. When he handed Liu Gen the shells, he also paid attention to whether Liu Gen successfully hit the target. Naturally, he saw that Liu Gen successfully drove the shells into the Japanese gun tower. As an artillery battalion,
As one of the soldiers, the soldiers knew how difficult it was to drive the shells into the Japanese gun towers.
In the entire artillery battalion, there was no one who could do this, but what about Liu Gen? It seemed to be very easy.
Other soldiers in the artillery battalion also noticed Liu Gen's firing of artillery shells into the Japanese artillery tower. However, due to the fact that they were in the battle, even though the soldiers were curious about how Liu Gen did this, they did not have time to tell him.
Let’s ask Liu Gen for advice. Liu Gen has taught the soldiers of the artillery battalion before, but these soldiers of the artillery battalion have never seen Liu Gen take action with their own eyes, so they are somewhat doubtful.
But now, the soldiers of the artillery battalion no longer had the slightest doubt. They could see that the Japanese artillery tower, which was unable to organize an effective counterattack, was easily captured by Battalion Commander Zhang and his soldiers.
Before Liu Gen came to the 120th Division, the soldiers of the artillery battalion also fought against the Japanese artillery towers. They knew clearly that the Japanese artillery towers were a tough nut to crack, and it was not easy to take down the Japanese artillery towers. But today's battle was to let the Japanese artillery towers win.
The soldiers realized the key role that artillery could play in attacking Japanese artillery towers.
If Liu Gen hadn't successfully driven the shells into the Japs turret, then if he wanted to take down the Japs turret, he would have had to use the lives of soldiers. Wait until a soldier successfully approached the Japs turret and placed the explosive package at the bottom of the Japs turret to detonate it.
It is possible to capture the Japanese artillery towers. But what about now? With Liu Gen, there is no need for soldiers to risk their lives to do such a thing.
It can be said that having Liu Gen around made it much easier for the soldiers to attack the Japanese gun towers.
Half an hour later, the battle in Nuanquan Town ended. The soldiers of the infantry battalion were quickly cleaning the battlefield and taking over the defense of Nuanquan Town. The Japanese artillery towers were built very solidly. Even if Liu Gen successfully fired the shells into
The interior of the turret has not been damaged too much and can still be used.
Before the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese gun towers, after the attack, the Japanese gun towers would be blown up by explosives, or an obvious gap would be blown up, which would not be conducive to the Eighth Route Army continuing to rely on the gun towers for defense. Of course, before, the Eighth Route Army units attacked
The Japanese gun tower is just to get some weapons and equipment.
As for staying in the Japanese gun towers to defend, it is naturally impossible.
Now it's different. With the 120th Division taking over several Japanese counties in the surrounding area, Liu Gen and his soldiers successfully captured Nuanquan Town. Naturally, there is no need to choose to evacuate. Next, the defense of Nuanquan Town will naturally become the focus.
Most importantly, two complete gun towers will play an important role in the defense of Nuanquan Town.
"Comrade Liu Gen, we found some information about the Japanese march from the Japanese artillery towers." Battalion Commander Zhang hurried to Liu Gen and handed a detailed information to Liu Gen.
Liu Gen took the intelligence and looked at it carefully. It was a piece of Japanese intelligence. It was the intelligence of the Japanese independent mixed brigade mobilizing troops to Liulin County. From the intelligence, Liu Gen could see that during these two days, the Japanese would mobilize a large number of troops.
The troops went to Liulin County, saying that the defense of Liulin County was very tight and the Japanese failed to capture Liulin County in a short time.
In order to capture Liulin County as soon as possible, the Japanese commander responsible for attacking Liulin County applied for support, and then came the order to mobilize troops. Nuanquan Town is not far from Liulin County, so Nuanquan Town is also needed
Allocate part of the troops to Liulin County for support.
It can be said that the fact that Liu Gen and others were able to easily capture Nuanquan Town was partly related to the deployment of Japanese troops in Nuanquan Town.
"It seems that the division's desperate special forces have a very good defense in Liulin County. This will force the Japanese to continuously mobilize troops to Liulin County."
"This information will be sent to the division headquarters immediately. The Japanese will mobilize troops. We should be able to do something to prevent the Japanese from deploying troops so easily." Liu Gen said with a smile. Liu Gen was a little worried about Liulin County's defense issues.
After all, the 120th Division's defensive strength in Liulin County is not that large, but now that Liu Gen has passed the information from the Japanese, he no longer has too many worries.
Judging from the continuous deployment of troops by the Japanese, we can know that the Japanese have no good way to attack Liulin County, and can only mobilize a large number of troops to attack. The ability to allow the Japanese to mobilize such a large number of troops is enough to illustrate the decisive action of the secret service group in Liulin County.
There isn't much of a problem with defense.
"Well, I feel the same way. We can't let the Japanese deploy troops so easily." Battalion Commander Zhang also said.
Liu Gen found the military map and quickly checked it. He needed to find a suitable place, the only way for a Japanese to go to support Liulin County. With the troops in Liu Gen's hands, as long as he did not encounter the Japanese infantry brigade,
, then there is still no big problem.
What's more, Liu Gen has an artillery battalion in his hands, so there is no need to consider firepower issues at all when attacking the Japanese.
"Finding local comrades, I want to know more about the situation in this area, especially the terrain issues." Liu Gen said to Battalion Commander Zhang.
Battalion Commander Zhang nodded and left quickly. He needed to find local comrades for Liu Gen. Tonight's battle allowed Battalion Commander Zhang to see Liu Gen's abilities. He believed that with Liu Gen's leadership, he would be able to win the battle.
.Besides, the division headquarters has already given orders. Liu Gen is responsible for commanding, and Battalion Commander Zhang only needs to obey.
Two hours later, an order came from the division headquarters, asking Liu Gen to lead the soldiers to find fighter planes and delay as much as possible to support the advance of the Japanese troops in Liulin County, so as to buy more time for the division headquarters' desperate special agent team to defend Liulin County.
.The defensive pressure of the desperate special agent group in Liulin County is already very high, and they cannot let too many Japanese troops pass.
Liu Gen was very happy to receive the order from the division headquarters. Before receiving the order from the division headquarters, even if he had the idea of fighting the Japs, he could not take action easily. Now that he has received the order from the division headquarters, whether to fight the Japs
, it can be completely decided by Liu Gen.
Liu Gen did not act rashly. In his opinion, he did not know enough about the surrounding Japanese troops. In addition, he also needed to seize the time to find the only way for the Japanese troops to support Liulin County in order to delay the Japanese troops' arrival.
the goal of.
After asking some local comrades, Liu Gen learned more about the situation in the surrounding area, and also found the only way for the Japanese troops coming to support from Fenyang.
Fenyang is far away from Liulin County. Except for a small number of Japs who can arrive in Liulin County today, most of the Japs troops should arrive in Liulin County tomorrow afternoon. Of course, all of this needs to be based on
It is naturally impossible that these Japanese troops are not blocked, and the Japanese troops are not blocked.
As far as Liu Gen knows, the Japs troops who went to support Liulin County and Xi County in the battle today were blocked. This made the Japs troops in Liulin County and Xi County slightly insufficient and failed to capture Liulin County today.
There are two county towns, Hexian County and Xixian County. In order to block the Japanese troops who went to support, each unit of the 120th Division mobilized part of its troops to carry out blocking operations.
At the same time, militiamen from county brigade and district squads in various regions were organized to block the Japanese reinforcements. In terms of weapons and equipment, the Eighth Route Army units could not compare with the Japanese, but in terms of terrain, the comrades of each army undoubtedly
It is more familiar. With the familiarity of the terrain and the placement of a large number of mine traps, it successfully delayed the reinforcements of the Japanese troops.
At three o'clock in the morning, Liu Gen woke up the resting soldiers, left a company of soldiers in Nuanquan Town, and then led the remaining soldiers in the direction of Chemingyu.
Chemingyu was the blocking location selected by Liu Gen. It was also the only way for Japanese reinforcements from Fenyang direction to Liulin County.
Battalion Commander Zhang had no objections to Liu Gen's choice to stop the Japs' reinforcements in Chemingyu. He had also asked local comrades and naturally knew that Chemingyu was the best choice to stop the Japs. What's more, Chemingyu
It is also an old revolutionary area, where we can block the Japanese reinforcements and get close cooperation from the people.
At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Gen and others successfully arrived at Chemingyu. At the first opportunity, Liu Gen contacted the Eighth Route Army troops in Chemingyu and prepared to join forces with them to block the Japanese reinforcements. Under the leadership of local comrades, Liu Gen
