"Xue Bing, did you have any problems at night?" At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Gen came to the position after briefly washing up.
Liu Gen could see that after a night of hard work, the position had changed again. Not only were there more cat-ear holes, but the trenches had also become deeper, making it easier for the soldiers to shoot when defending. The changes in the position made Liu Gen realize
When Xue Bing and others took over the trenches, they showed no signs of slacking off.
"No problem, I have deployed soldiers to guard two kilometers around Nuanquan Town, and no trace of the Japanese troops was found." Xue Bing reported seriously.
In order to prevent himself and others from being attacked by Japanese troops when they were reinforcing their positions, Xue Bing deliberately expanded the warning range. As long as he found traces of the Japanese troops, he would be able to learn about them immediately, and then let the soldiers of the guard company know
Enter combat status.
"That's good. You have been busy all night. Next, Battalion Commander Wang will lead the comrades from the artillery battalion to guard here. You should seize the time to rest." Liu Gen looked towards Xue Bing and others.
On his face, he could see obvious fatigue.
Obviously, Xue Bing and others were still a little tired after a busy night.
After rushing to Nuanquan Town to find Liu Gen, Xue Bing and others had no time to rest and directly devoted themselves to the defense reinforcement work of Nuanquan Town. Even though these soldiers were not very hard on their way, they still worked hard all night.
It will be very tiring.
"Instructor Liu, we are fine, we don't need to rest." Xue Bing said quickly.
Xue Bing has no intention of resting. As Liu Gen's bodyguard, he was unable to stay with Liu Gen in the previous battle. Now he has finally arrived in Nuanquan Town and is going to rest before he has made enough contributions.
,Xue Bing doesn’t have that face.
"No! You have been busy all night, you must go to rest!"
"Don't worry, if I find that the Japanese troops are attacking, I will definitely notify you." Liu Gen glared at Xue Bing, his attitude was very firm.
It’s not that Liu Gen doesn’t have other manpower in his hands. The comrades in the artillery battalion are not strong in marksmanship and cannot fight the Japanese troops head-on, but this does not mean that they cannot do a good job in security work. Liu Gen believes that the artillery battalion is not responsible for security work.
What problems will there be?
Xue Bing smiled bitterly and nodded. He knew that it would be useless if he continued to persist. He could not change the decision Liu Gen made.
"Okay, then I will take the comrades of the guard company to rest. If there are Japanese troops coming, the instructor must notify us as soon as possible and let us join the battle." Xue Bing said solemnly.
Liu Gen laughed, patted Xue Bing's shoulder hard, and said seriously: "Comrade Xue Bing, don't worry! I know the combat effectiveness of your guard company, and I will never forget you."
After receiving Liu Gen's promise, Xue Bing really felt relieved. He was really worried that Liu Gen would forget them. When he came to Liu Gen and Nuanquan Town, Xue Bing came to the battle just to participate in the battle and to perform well in the battle.
Xue Bing believes that this is not just his own idea, but also the idea of other comrades in the security company.
Choosing to come to Nuanquan Town, one of the front lines of this battle, Xue Bing and other soldiers had long been prepared to sacrifice in the battle.
Under the command of Battalion Commander Wang, the artillery battalion quickly connected with Xue Bing's guard company. After last night's rest, the soldiers of the artillery battalion regained their energy and seemed to be in very good condition. At three o'clock in the morning, the rear
A certain number of artillery shells have been sent, and the artillery battalion can still play some role in the subsequent battle.
However, due to the limited number of artillery shells sent, it was somewhat impossible for the soldiers of the artillery battalion to carry out artillery bombardment with all their strength. If they really bombarded the Japanese with all their strength, these artillery shells would not last more than a few minutes.
In the next time, artillery shells will be sent from the rear one after another. Compared with the county towns defended by other troops of the 120th Division, Nuanquan Town does not have many troops, but in terms of firepower, Nuanquan Town’s firepower is undoubtedly the strongest.
.There is an artillery battalion here. If the Japanese really choose to use Nuanquan Town as a breakthrough point, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
After the artillery battalion took over the defensive position, there were no setbacks. Liu Gen looked at the soldiers of the artillery battalion. In the past few days of fighting, the artillery battalion had suffered some casualties, but compared with other troops, the artillery battalion's
The casualties were not many.
Liu Gen didn't have too many emotions. After experiencing so many battles, he had long understood that casualties were inevitable in battles. Even if he was in the artillery battalion, he could not guarantee the safety of the soldiers in the artillery battalion. The only thing Liu Gen could do was
Let the artillery battalion maximize its role and cause enough damage to the enemy.
Only in this way will the comrades of the artillery battalion have the value of sacrifice.
"Captain Wang, please keep comrades vigilant. Japanese troops may appear near Nuanquan Town at any time." Liu Gen cannot stay on guard in the defensive position all the time. He has other things to do.
Before leaving, Liu Gen couldn't help but tell Wang Yingzhen that he was a little worried that there would be problems with the artillery battalion's security. After all, the artillery battalion was best at artillery, not combat and security. Even on weekdays, the artillery battalion would have
Corresponding warnings have been arranged, but they are still somewhat insufficient.
Battalion Commander Wang could clearly feel Liu Gen's worry about the artillery battalion, but he didn't say anything. He knew that even if he promised something, it wouldn't have much effect. Battalion Commander Wang wanted more than making a promise.
Use what the artillery battalion did to dispel Liu Gen's worries.
Leaving the defensive position, Liu Gen walked towards the resting position of the infantry battalion. He needed to understand the situation of the infantry battalion. Yesterday's blocking battle achieved good results and killed many little Japs. At the same time, if Liu Gen's speculation was not wrong, then the Japs'
The infantry captain should also have been successfully killed, which means that Liu Gen and others successfully killed a Japanese lieutenant.
It is very good to be able to kill a Japanese lieutenant. It is very difficult for many troops to kill a Japanese lieutenant. In other words, Liu Gen doesn’t have much feeling about killing a Japanese lieutenant. There is no way, who can let him kill him?
How many Japanese officers are there?
Arriving at the temporary base of the infantry battalion, Liu Gen could see the soldiers of the infantry battalion making breakfast. It was said to be breakfast, but in fact it was just heating up the dry food they carried with them. Looking at the breakfast of the soldiers of the infantry battalion, Liu Gen was a little silent.
For the soldiers who had experienced such a brutal battle yesterday, today's breakfast was a bit too simple.
Especially for the injured soldiers in the infantry battalion, how can such a simple breakfast help the injured soldiers recover better?
"Where is your Battalion Commander Zhang?" Liu Gen asked the soldiers passing by, trying to find the location of Battalion Commander Zhang.
"Over there." The soldier quickly replied pointing in one direction.
Liu Gen looked in the direction the soldier was pointing. It was a corner. There were not many people there, only Battalion Commander Zhang and company commanders and platoon leaders of several infantry battalions. Liu Gen looked at Battalion Commander Zhang and others, frowning slightly.
Come on, what are they doing in that corner? It doesn't look like they are discussing the next battle, right?
As he walked towards the corner, many soldiers who were having breakfast saw Liu Gen. They wanted to stand up and salute, but Liu Gen stopped him with his eyes.
Arriving at the corner where Battalion Commander Zhang and others were, Liu Gen found that there was no communication between Battalion Commander Zhang and others, and they were all silently eating the dry food in their hands.
This made Liu Gen more and more confused. He didn't understand why Camp Commander Zhang and others wanted to eat in such a small corner. Before Liu Gen could continue to observe, Camp Commander Zhang and others discovered Liu Gen's arrival.
"Comrade Liu Gen, why are you here? Xiao Li, go get Comrade Liu Gen a breakfast!" Battalion Commander Zhang quickly ordered.
Liu Gen didn't refuse. He hadn't had breakfast yet, so he needed to eat some.
Soon, Xiao Li brought a piece of breakfast. Liu Gen took the breakfast and did not eat it directly. Instead, he looked at Battalion Commander Zhang and others next to him, "Captain Zhang, take out the dry food you just ate. I want to
Eat some."
Battalion Commander Zhang's face changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he took out the dry food.
