"Comrade Liu Gen, please rest assured that our artillery battalion is capable enough to kill this Japanese infantry squad!" Battalion Commander Wang said confidently.
Liu Gen shook his head directly and said helplessly: "Captain Wang, I know the strength of the artillery battalion. With the strength of the artillery battalion, it is not a problem to kill a Japanese infantry squad."
"But as the commander of the artillery battalion, Commander Wang, you should also know the shooting level of the soldiers in the artillery battalion. Don't tell me, they are all sharpshooters. The artillery battalion can kill this Japanese infantry team, but
How much did this Japanese infantry team pay?
"I wonder if you, Battalion Commander Wang, have considered this matter?"
Battalion Commander Wang fell silent. He wanted to say that it was not what Liu Gen thought, but he knew that what Liu Gen said was the truth. The shooting skills of the artillery battalion soldiers were really not good. There was no problem with shooting, but
If you want to shoot and hit the Japanese, it seems that you have to rely on luck.
Based on the situation of the artillery battalion, it is really not that easy to kill the Japanese infantry squad. Even if you can successfully kill the Japanese infantry squad, the price you need to pay will be very high.
"Okay! Comrade Liu Gen, you can stay, but I will arrange two soldiers for you to ensure your safety." Battalion Commander Wang said seriously.
Liu Gen was a little helpless. He came to the trenches to fight, not to get protection from others, but to better kill the Japanese.
"I don't need protection from others! With my strength, no one can protect me!" Liu Gen refused.
Battalion Commander Wang's expression did not change much. He knew that Liu Gen would not easily accept the protection of soldiers. During the time he had been with Liu Gen, Battalion Commander Wang had already seen Liu Gen's character clearly. He had the ability to solve the problem
Under such circumstances, Liu Gen would not choose to trouble others.
Even on the battlefield, Liu Gen was unwilling to let soldiers protect him, as that would make him feel like a burden.
"This is the division commander's order! Comrade Liu Gen, please obey the order!" Battalion Commander Wang said firmly.
Liu Gen smiled bitterly. Battalion Commander Wang had moved all the division commanders out. What else could he say?
"Okay! Okay, then find a soldier to follow me and be my bodyguard for the time being." Liu Gen said helplessly.
Battalion Commander Wang nodded, but it was not necessary to arrange two guards for Liu Gen. The defense of Nuanquan Town was very good. With a soldier following Liu Gen, I believe it would be enough to ensure Liu Gen's safety. What's more,
When Liu Gen is in danger, no matter how many soldiers are arranged to protect him, it will have no effect.
"The enemy is coming soon! Get ready to fight." Seeing that Battalion Commander Wang wanted to say something more, Liu Gen said quickly.
Suddenly, Battalion Commander Wang had no idea of talking to Liu Gen. He needed to pay attention to the enemy's movements at all times. Once the enemy was allowed to rush into Nuanquan Town, he would become the sinner of the 120th Division.
With the defensive facilities of Nuanquan Town, it can still be done in a day or two, not to mention resisting the Japanese attack for a long time. Even if the situation is worst, Nuanquan Town cannot be lost tonight!
"Comrades, don't be anxious. Wait until the enemy comes within fifty meters before shooting. Watch the gun carefully and don't let it go off!" Battalion Commander Wang ordered loudly.
Taking into account the marksmanship of the artillery battalion soldiers, Battalion Commander Wang needs to let the enemy get closer before firing. Otherwise, it will be too difficult to cause enough casualties to the enemy. Speaking of artillery, Battalion Commander Wang is very critical of the artillery battalion soldiers.
They would be very confident, but he didn't have much confidence at all in shooting.
Now, Battalion Commander Wang can only hope that the soldiers of the artillery battalion can perform exceptionally and kill as many enemies as possible, so as to ensure that their own casualties will not be too high.
Not far away, the marching Japanese troops suddenly stopped. They should have known that there were Eighth Route Army troops in Nuanquan Town, so they did not choose to launch an attack immediately.
"This Japanese team is a little cautious. It seems that the battle in the artillery battalion is a bit difficult." Liu Gen looked at the stopped Japanese troops, his face looked a little solemn.
Not long after, several people came towards Nuanquan Town holding torches and announced their identities at the same time, "We are from the security company of the 120th Division Headquarters, and we are here to find Comrade Liu Gen."
"Guard company?" In the trench, Liu Gen's eyes showed some doubts. The 120th Division headquarters has a guard unit. What is the situation of this guard company?
Battalion Commander Wang turned to look at Liu Gen beside him, "Comrade Liu Gen, what's going on with this security company? Are they really from the security company?"
Liu Gen smiled bitterly and shook his head, with a little helplessness in his eyes, "Battle Commander Wang, I'm not sure if this is the security company of our 120th Division Headquarters. Why didn't the division commander notify us?"
"We haven't received any notification from the division headquarters. There should be some issues with the origin of this unit."
Battalion Commander Wang nodded. He agreed with Liu Gen's statement. Before this unit arrived, they had not received an order from the division headquarters, so naturally they could not determine the specific identity of this unit.
"Who is your commander? Let him come to see me!" Liu Gen shouted loudly while hiding in the trench.
"Instructor Liu, it's me! I'm Xue Bing!" Soon, a voice came from over there.
Liu Gen was a little surprised, Xue Bing? Why is Xue Bing here?
"Xue Bing? Why are you here?" This time, he came out without Xue Bing. Why did Xue Bing come? He even brought so many soldiers with him.
Not far away, Xue Bing came over with a few soldiers. They did not bring any weapons, and they were obviously worried that Liu Gen and others would misunderstand. This time Xue Bing came with the permission of the division commander. Commander He was worried that Liu Gen was on the front line.
It was safe, so Xue Bing came with a guard company of soldiers to support him.
"The teacher asked us to come. The teacher is worried about your safety, instructor." Xue Bing came to Liu Gen and explained seriously.
Battalion Commander Wang couldn't help but nodded. Given Liu Gen's importance, the division commander was still very likely to do this. But why didn't the division commander notify him in advance?
"The teacher asked you to come? Then why didn't we get notification from the teacher in advance?" Liu Gen asked doubtfully,
Xue Bing was a little helpless, "This is because of you, Instructor Liu. You have never wanted any guards. The division commander was worried that you would not let us come after telling you, so he did not notify you in advance."
"In this battle, you didn't even bring me as a guard. How could the division commander not be worried?"
Liu Gen smiled bitterly. Is this the reason? No wonder he didn't get advance notice from Mr. He. Liu Gen just felt that with his own strength, having guards around him wouldn't have much effect. Who would have thought that he would let
The division commander took this approach.
"Okay, it's my fault."
"Since they are our comrades from the 120th Division, let these comrades come over. You can take over the defense work of Nuanquan Town." After confirming that Xue Bing and the others had no problems, Liu Gen said directly.
The artillery battalion is also very hard-working. They are responsible for the defense of Nuanquan Town because Liu Gen has no other manpower.
Now that Xue Bing has come with a company of soldiers, the soldiers of the artillery battalion can also take a rest. The strength of one company is enough for Nuanquan Town to establish a complete security network. What's more, the soldiers of this guard company are still
Xue Bing brought it from the 120th Division Headquarters, and its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
With Xue Bing and others taking over, Battalion Commander Wang took the soldiers of the artillery battalion to rest, while Liu Gen chatted with Xue Bing to learn about the latest battle progress.
