Liu Gen gasped for air. At that moment, he thought he was really going to die.
Sacrifice is nothing to Liu Gen. He has long been prepared to sacrifice, but Liu Gen cannot sacrifice. He still needs to kill the Japanese commander and solve the current predicament. Another soldier who is following Liu Gen
With a look of horror on his face, he also discovered the bullet that passed over Liu Gen's head just now.
The soldier looked behind Liu Gen. He could see that there was an obvious crater on the land behind him, which was the bullet just now.
"The telescope is broken! Let's go find Battalion Commander Zhang!" After Liu Gen quickly calmed down, he threw away the telescope that was damaged by the bullet in his hand, bent down and rushed towards the location of Battalion Commander Zhang.
Just now, Liu Gen only observed a part of the Japanese rear. He has not been able to find the specific location of the Japanese commander. Now he needs to continue to observe the Japanese in the rear and then find the Japanese commander. Ordinary soldiers do not have telescopes in their hands, only Zhang Ying
It was only available in the hands of the commander, so Liu Gen could only go to Camp Commander Zhang.
Arriving at the location of Battalion Commander Zhang, bullets flew overhead from time to time. Battalion Commander Zhang and his soldiers were constantly fighting back.
"Captain Zhang, give me your telescope." Liu Gen shouted directly.
Battalion Commander Zhang quickly fired a bullet, hid his body in the trench, turned to look at Liu Gen, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, why did Liu Gen come to the front line? He was immersed in the battle just now, and Battalion Commander Zhang didn't hear it.
Liu Gen's voice made him think that someone was asking him for a telescope.
"Comrade Liu Gen, if you are not staying at the artillery camp, why are you here at our frontline position?"
"You'd better go back to the artillery camp quickly, these Japanese soldiers are like crazy, they don't care about their own casualties at all."
"..."
Battalion Commander Zhang spoke very quickly, with worries about Liu Gen written all over his face. He knew that Liu Gen was a very powerful artilleryman, and the artillery battalion also played a great role under the leadership of Liu Gen.
.But the frontline position is not suitable for Liu Gen to come. It is too dangerous and no one can guarantee Liu Gen's life safety.
"Give me the telescope, it will be of great use to you!"
"I came to the front line because I have important things to do. Once the things are done, I will definitely go back directly!" Liu Gen had no choice but to say.
Battalion Commander Zhang was a little confused. He didn't understand why Liu Gen wanted the telescope, but he still took off the telescope hanging around his neck and handed it to Liu Gen. Now that Battalion Commander Zhang couldn't find anyone free to send Liu Gen back, he
We can only hope that after getting the telescope, Liu Gen can leave the frontline position as soon as possible and return to the artillery battalion in the rear.
Before Liu Gen could say anything else, Battalion Commander Zhang threw himself into the battle. The pressure from the Japanese was too great and he could not waste time.
Liu Gen glanced at Battalion Commander Zhang, who was once again involved in the battle, and moved quickly with his binoculars. He needed to find a place where the Japanese soldiers could not easily notice. Only in this way could he observe the Japanese troops at the rear.
Soon, Liu Gen found a good position, took out his binoculars, and after some disguise, he once again devoted himself to observing the Japanese troops in the rear. Liu Gen's observation speed was not fast, and the Japanese commander was very cautious.
He also needs to be extra careful to avoid omissions.
Five minutes later, Liu Gen ended his observation and asked the soldiers around him to return the telescope to Battalion Commander Zhang. He then headed directly towards the rear artillery battalion. The five minutes of observation yielded results, and Liu Gen successfully found three locations.
Areas, these three areas may be the location of the Japs commander.
Returning to the artillery battalion, Liu Gen immediately ordered the soldiers of the artillery battalion to move. If he wanted to kill the Japanese commander, the artillery battalion's position still needed to move forward. The three areas Liu Gen found were all in the current location of the artillery battalion.
Outside the range, the Japanese commander is very smart. He clearly knows the range of the mortar, so naturally he will not choose to stay within the range of the artillery battalion.
"Move forward two hundred meters again? Isn't this too risky?" When Battalion Commander Wang learned that Liu Gen was planning to move the artillery battalion's position forward two hundred meters, his face was full of worry.
The Japanese artillery was successfully killed by the artillery battalion. The artillery battalion can be moved forward. Once the Japanese successfully break through the position defended by Battalion Commander Zhang and others, it will immediately threaten the safety of the artillery battalion. As an artillery battalion,
The battalion commander, Battalion Commander Wang, knew the dangers involved.
"The Japs command headquarters is outside our range. If we want to kill the Japs commander, we can only move the artillery battalion forward." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
There are certain risks in moving the artillery battalion forward, but in Liu Gen's view, as long as there is a chance to kill the Japanese commander, it is very necessary for the artillery battalion to take certain risks. The only way is to destroy the Japanese command headquarters and kill the Japanese commander.
, can change the current situation.
"It is very necessary to take risks. Battalion Commander Wang, you should be able to see the current situation. If we continue, we will be dragged to death by these devils." Seeing that Battalion Commander Wang still had not made up his mind, Liu Gen said again
.
Battalion Commander Wang fell silent. After a moment, he nodded vigorously. He knew that Liu Gen was right. If he wanted not to be dragged to death by the Japanese, it was necessary to take certain risks, as long as he could destroy the Japanese command.
system, then it will have sufficient value.
With the consent of Battalion Commander Wang, the artillery battalion position quickly moved forward. Under Liu Gen's instructions, the artillery battalion soldiers did not make much noise while advancing. After all, the artillery battalion position was moved forward.
The purpose of advancing is to kill the Japanese headquarters. If the artillery battalion makes too much noise, it will be easily discovered by the Japanese.
After confirming that the Japanese commander was a veteran, Liu Gen did not have any contempt for the Japanese commander. This Japanese commander was not easy to deal with.
After advancing two hundred meters, the artillery battalion stopped. The soldiers quickly deployed the mortars and prepared for the artillery attack.
"Wait for my order!" Liu Gen took a deep breath, lowered his head and quickly padded on the ground. He needed to verify the location of the Japanese commander he had calculated.
Liu Gen kept thinking about his observations of the Japanese troops in the rear and verifying his speculations. Soon, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with the three places he had guessed. However, Liu Gen also realized that he had overlooked one thing, that is, the opposite side
The Japanese commander was very cunning, and he might not have expected that the Eighth Route Army artillery battalion would take action against him.
This means that the Japanese commander is very likely to know that those three areas have certain risks, but apart from those three areas, what other areas can guarantee his safety?
Liu Gen raised his head and looked in the direction of the Japanese troops, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. Where else could he be safe? That place must be a place that he could not think of for the time being. Where could it be?
"Captain Wang, if you were the commander of the Japs, where would you hide?" Liu Gen turned to look at Battalion Commander Wang beside him, wanting to know what Battalion Commander Wang was thinking.
Perhaps Battalion Commander Wang's answer will not be so comprehensive, but Liu Gen hopes that he can get some inspiration from Battalion Commander Wang and then find the shortcomings of his own speculation.
"Me? Maybe I won't hide. The Japs have always been very proud. Even if we kill the Japs artillery, the Japs won't have too much fear." Battalion Commander Wang thought for a moment before speaking out.
s answer.
In the opinion of Battalion Commander Wang, the Japanese were very proud and arrogant. Even if the artillery battalion successfully killed the Japanese artillery, it did not have much impact on these Japanese. Otherwise, these Japanese would not have launched charges again and again. To the Japanese,
Battalion Commander Wang knew it very well. He knew that the Japanese had never looked down on the Eighth Route Army's artillery.
"Huh?" Liu Gen pondered, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Battalion Commander Wang said. With the Japs' character, the Japs commander might not choose to avoid him.
Liu Gen continued to look towards the position of the Japanese rear troops. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind. He seemed to know his negligence. When speculating on the location of the Japanese commander, he always thought that the Japanese commander would choose to hide.
Outside the range of the artillery battalion.
But what if the Japanese commander did not do this, but did the opposite and chose to stay within the range of the artillery battalion, then where would he be? Soon, Liu Gen had the answer in his mind.
This made an obvious look of joy appear on his face.
"Very good! I have found the location where the Japanese commander may be."
"Captain Wang, please divide the artillery battalion into four parts. We need to shell the Japanese in the four areas at the same time."
"..."
As Liu Gen's order was issued, and with the assistance of Battalion Commander Wang, the artillery battalion was quickly divided into four parts. It did not take too long to complete all this, which made Liu Gen very satisfied.
In order to ensure that the Japanese headquarters was eliminated in one fell swoop, Liu Gen did not let the soldiers of the artillery battalion do their best this time. Instead, he asked the soldiers to adjust the angle and direction of the artillery fire strictly according to his requirements, without any deviation. In this regard, the artillery battalion's
The soldiers didn't have any objections. They knew clearly that Liu Gen's artillery skills were stronger.
"Listen to my orders!"
"Five bursts! Get ready!"
"Three, two, one, let go!"
"..."
Nearly twenty artillery shells flew out from the artillery battalion position at the same time, flying quickly towards the four areas guessed by Liu Gen. The soldiers in the artillery battalion had no intention of seeing whether the shells could hit accurately. The soldiers took them from other people.
The cannonball was quickly fed into the barrel again, and in the blink of an eye, another cannonball flew out.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
As soon as the second round of shells flew out of the barrel, there was a loud explosion in the area where the Japanese rear troops were located. Twenty shells flew out almost at the same time. Even if these shells were all mortar shells, they were not very powerful.
It was relatively strong, but it still caused a lot of noise.
The Japanese troops in the rear were not prepared at all. These Japanese soldiers did not expect that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army would actively bombard them in the rear. To relieve the pressure on the position, shouldn't they launch artillery bombardment on the attacking Japanese troops? The Japanese troops were suddenly bombarded.
It became a bit chaotic, and the Japanese soldiers didn't know what to do to avoid the bombardment.
Loud explosions kept ringing in the rear of the Japanese, causing the Japanese soldiers who were shooting at Battalion Commander Zhang and others to panic. How could there be a problem with the rear troops? Could it be that reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army had arrived? This made the Japanese soldiers have no idea.
Continuing to shoot at Battalion Commander Zhang and others who were defending the position, many Japanese soldiers quietly withdrew towards the rear.
"Battal Commander, do we want to pursue?" Seeing the Japanese soldiers giving up shooting and retreating towards the rear, some soldiers wanted to start chasing the Japanese.
Battalion Commander Zhang shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted the soldier on the head, "What are you pursuing? Look at your respective states, what are you pursuing? Are you going to take your life?"
The soldier chuckled and realized that it was indeed as Battalion Commander Zhang said. In their current state, they could not pursue them at all. Only with the position in place could they fight against the Japanese until now. If they really left the position to pursue, it would be impossible.
Good Japanese soldiers will turn around and fight back, which will cause trouble.
If you lose your life while chasing these Japanese soldiers, it doesn't really matter. But if you lose your position due to the pursuit, it is a serious crime.
"Okay, comrades, let's take this opportunity to rest, eat some solid food, and bandage your wounds. Don't be idle." Battalion Commander Zhang ordered.
The soldiers took action one after another. After fighting until now, they finally had time to rest. However, when the battle was over, there was no trace of joy on the faces of these soldiers, but they were all a little heavy. When their attention was fully devoted to the battle,
The soldiers had no time to care about the sacrifices of their comrades around them.
But when the battle ended, the soldiers could see their comrades who were beside them, but they didn't know when they died here. Many soldiers covered their faces and cried bitterly, but most of them tried hard to suppress their cries. They were a little helpless.
Control their emotions, but they don't want their crying to affect the comrades around them.
"A bunch of cowards! Cry! Why are you crying? There's nothing to cry about!"
"Give me some time to rest and eat! Whoever dares to cry again, I will break his legs!" Battalion Commander Zhang looked at the crying soldiers around him and cursed angrily.
Under Battalion Commander Zhang's order, the soldiers tried to calm themselves down again, collect their emotions, eat and rest silently. Battalion Commander Zhang kept his face tense, and the bandages on his arms were stained with blood.
He was also injured during the battle.
After seeing the soldiers calm down, Battalion Commander Zhang turned his head. He was facing the trench, and no one could see his face.
Suddenly, Commander Zhang's body shook twice, and a weak and inaudible cry sounded out. This was to suppress his cry. After a while, Commander Zhang wiped his eyes hard, and because of the
Because of the dust, there was a bit more dust on the face that had just been wiped.
"What are you looking at! Take the time to rest! The Japanese will definitely attack again! Don't let your guard down!" Feeling that many soldiers were looking at him, Battalion Commander Zhang ordered loudly.
The soldiers did not dare to look at Battalion Commander Zhang anymore and could only hide in the trenches. At the same time, they looked vigilantly in the direction of the Japanese troops to avoid any Japanese soldiers sneaking up on them. What only made the soldiers a little confused was that,
The Japs seemed a little confused, and they didn't know what was going on there.
