Five hundred and seventieth chapters defense focus
"Comrade Liu Gen, I give you this Zuo Guan Dao." After the war, after cleaning the battlefield, Battalion Commander Zhang gave a Zuo Guan Dao to Liu Gen.
Liu Gen took the Zuoguan Sword, pulled it out and took a look at it. The workmanship of the Zuoguan Sword was pretty good, and it is worth collecting as a souvenir. Of course, in this era, being able to capture a Zuoguan Sword on the battlefield is something to be very proud of.
!
If you want to seize the official sword from the Japanese, you must kill at least one Japanese infantry squadron, and ensure that the Japanese commander will not retreat until you can successfully seize a official sword. It can be said that in any anti-Japanese army,
Successfully capturing an official sword is no small honor.
"Captain Zhang, you should keep this Zuoguan sword." Liu Gen returned the Zuoguan sword to Battalion Commander Zhang. He didn't think much about the Zuoguan sword.
If Liu Gen wants something like the Zuoguan Dao, he can easily get it.
With Liu Gen's strength, it is very easy to get a Zuoguan sword. What's more, in the previous battles, Liu Gen also killed many Japanese soldiers and lieutenants, and he also captured a lot of Zuoguan swords.
And those Zuoguan swords captured by Liu Gen had been given away by Liu Gen a long time ago. He had no interest in the Japs' Sabers. Even if Liu Gen wanted to get a Japs' saber, it should at least be a general's sword.
The knife is the right one.
Battalion Commander Zhang was a little helpless. He knew that it was unlikely that Liu Gen would accept the Zuoguan knife. From Liu Gen's performance, he knew that it would not be difficult for Liu Gen to get a Zuoguan knife.
.In the eyes of others, it is not easy to get a Zuoguan sword.
But if you put such a thing on Liu Gen, it will be very easy. Commander Zhang is very sure about this.
Putting away the Zuoguan knife, Battalion Commander Zhang was a little happy. It was good to capture a Zuoguan knife. Liu Gen looked down on the Zuoguan knife, but Battalion Commander Zhang knew clearly what a Zuoguan knife represented. When he encountered
When others question your strength, taking out a sauguan sword is the best proof.
"Comrade Liu Gen, we successfully killed this attacking Japanese force. What should we do next?"
"Once the Japs react, they will definitely send more troops to attack Nuanquan Town. If we want to successfully defend it, it may be difficult." Battalion Commander Zhang successfully killed the Japs unit that attacked Nuanquan Town.
Still not daring to relax at all.
Battalion Commander Zhang knew very well that the Japanese's retaliatory operation against the 120th Division had just begun, and the Japanese's retaliatory actions would not stop easily in a short period of time.
Nuanquan Town has good strategic value, and a Japanese infantry squadron has lost contact in the direction of Nuanquan Town. The Japanese will definitely not give up the idea of attacking Nuanquan Town easily. The Japanese troops are a little nervous, but they will once again mobilize a
It is still possible for the infantry squadron to attack Nuanquan Town.
There was not much nervousness on Liu Gen's face. He successfully killed a Japanese infantry squadron. The seizures on the battlefield allowed Liu Gen and others to replenish their weapons and ammunition. Without worries about weapons and ammunition, Nuanquan Town's
Defense work will also become easier.
Regardless of ammunition consumption, if the Japanese want to break through the defensive positions of Xue Bing and others, they will need at least an infantry brigade, or even more troops. Only when the Japanese have sufficient troops can the Japanese go crazy regardless of their own casualties.
Attack and then capture Nuanquan Town.
"Repair the defensive positions, and let the comrades use the capture to lay more mines and traps."
"The Japs troops that will attack Nuanquan Town next should not make such a mindless and crazy attack again. Our defense in Nuanquan Town should last for a while, so comrades must be mentally prepared." Liu Gen gave serious instructions.
.
Battalion Commander Zhang nodded. He understood what Liu Gen meant. He knew how to proceed with the defense of Nuanquan Town. Unless the Japs mobilized a large number of troops, with the defense facilities of Nuanquan Town, it would be impossible for the Japs to attack the town.
Capture Nuanquan Town in a short period of time.
After leaving the front line, Liu Gen returned to Nuanquan Town. He knew that the subsequent defense work would not be a big problem.
After killing a Japanese infantry squadron, it will take a certain amount of time for the Japanese to mobilize their troops. It will also take a certain amount of time for the next Japanese army to attack Nuanquan Town to arrive around Nuanquan Town. In other words, the soldiers have enough
Rest time for recovery.
After a full day of training, the soldiers were still very tired, especially the guard company led by Xue Bing, who took the lead in the battle and was more tired than other soldiers.
Not long after Liu Gen returned to Nuanquan Town, there were villagers from Nuanquan Town heading towards the front line carrying pots of hot rice. These were meals cooked by the villagers for the soldiers. Of course, these meals were all
Liu Gen paid a certain amount of compensation in exchange for it.
Many villagers refused to take the ocean as payment, but under Liu Gen's strong request, these villagers still accepted it.
In such war years, the lives of the villagers are already very hard, and Liu Gen does not want to make the lives of these villagers even more difficult because of himself. Using the ocean in exchange for the villagers to cook hot meals for the soldiers is a good thing for both parties.
These are all very good things.
The soldiers can eat hot meals and go into battle in a better condition, while the villagers can get oceans as reward for their actions, thereby improving their own lives.
It has to be said that the folks in Nuanquan Town are very honest. Liu Gen can see that the hot meals and dishes prepared by the folks are generous and should be enough to satisfy every soldier.
When we came to the location of the wounded, there were also villagers cooking here. However, considering the condition of the wounded, the meals cooked by these villagers appeared to be more refined and nutritious. Many villagers used the good food that they would not be willing to eat at home on weekdays.
Take it out to allow these wounded to recover better.
After walking through the entire Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen felt relieved. The situation in Nuanquan Town was now very good, and the army and the people should be united.
Liu Gen believes that the defense work in Nuanquan Town will be easier. If the Eighth Route Army troops encounter difficulties in their defense, the folks in Nuanquan Town will definitely lend a helping hand without hesitation.
Compared with when the Japs occupied Nuanquan Town, Nuanquan Town is undoubtedly more vibrant now. The folks in Nuanquan Town don’t have to worry about provoking those moody Japs and losing their lives. Liu Gen and others are in Nuanquan Town.
The performance of Nuanquan Town made the villagers of Nuanquan Town very satisfied, and they were willing to cooperate with Liu Gen and others in their defense work.
Finding a corner, Liu Gen took out the dry food he had on him, drank some cold water, and ate quickly.
Liu Gen feels that his condition is not bad. Whether he eats hot food or not does not have much impact on him. Besides, Liu Gen has not participated in many battles, and the physical exertion is not much. Eating some dry food is enough.
.
After eating dry food in the corner, Liu Gen quickly walked towards the temporary command post. He needed to ask the division headquarters about the next actions of the 120th Division. The location of Nuanquan Town is very special. There are troops of the 120th Division in the surrounding area to attract the Japanese.
With concentration, he can defend well.
However, once the troops of the 120th Division in the surrounding areas withdraw, especially the fighting in Liulin County, Wubao County, and Jiaokou County, the defense of Nuanquan Town will be affected.
In order to do a good job in the defense of Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen needs to clearly understand the next actions of the troops of the 120th Division. If the troops really want to choose to evacuate, then Liu Gen and others will naturally need to follow up quickly, otherwise they will be left behind in Nuanquan by the Japanese.
Quanzhen, then it will become a lone army that cannot be rescued.
Nuanquan Town has always maintained contact with the 120th Division Headquarters. Commander He is also very concerned about Liu Gen's condition and is worried about what danger Liu Gen will encounter during the battle. Since the battle began, Liu Gen has fully demonstrated his ability
Ability, and it is precisely because of Liu Gen's presence that the battle progresses so smoothly.
If it weren't for the fact that fighting was taking place in the surrounding areas of Nuanquan Town and it would be risky to evacuate Liu Gen from Nuanquan Town, Commander He would definitely withdraw Liu Gen directly to the 120th Division Headquarters to ensure Liu Gen's safety.
.
From his contact with the 120th Division headquarters, Liu Gen clearly understood the fighting situation in the surrounding area. Liulin County was still in the hands of the 120th Division, but it should be impossible to defend it. The Japanese attack on Liulin County was very fierce.
Coupled with the fact that the Japanese had suppressed firepower from fighter planes and heavy artillery, the defense work in Liulin County was very difficult.
Even if the soldiers of the desperate secret service group responsible for defending Liulin County relied on various defense facilities to continuously launch counterattacks against the Japanese attacks, they could not prevent the Japanese from seizing Liulin County. The fighting power of the desperate secret service group was very strong, and it was precisely because of this that they
As a result, Liulin County is still in the hands of the 120th Division.
Tonight, the soldiers of the Death to Death Agent Regiment will withdraw from Liulin County and abandon the defense work of Liulin County. In just two days of fighting, the Death to Death Agent Regiment suffered more than half of its casualties. The 714th team responsible for assisting the Death to Death Agent Regiment in its defense
Of the two battalions of the regiment, one battalion also suffered casualties.
It is really the Japanese fighter planes and heavy artillery that bomb and shell the area for free, and it is also the relatively strong defense facilities in Liulin County that allow the desperate spy group to hold on until now.
After abandoning Liulin County, Commander Chen of the Deadly Secret Service will lead the remaining troops to Wubao County to assist in the defense of Wubao County. Next, Wubao County will become the focus of the next Japanese attack. The Japanese have sufficient
There are enough troops of two infantry brigades around Wubao County.
In order to ensure that the defense of Wubao County was foolproof, Commander He once again deployed a part of the 120th Division troops to Wubao County for support. At the same time, the cavalry detachment also became active behind the Japs, destroying the Japs' transportation routes and material transportation as much as possible.
As for the fighting in Jiaokou County, it was not as bad as Liulin County. The Japanese did not regard Jiaokou County as the main direction of counterattack. In a short period of time, there should be no problems with the defense of Jiaokou County.
In Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen's face was a little solemn. The Japs were able to successfully capture Liulin County, which was within his expectation. The Japs' counterattack was very fierce this time, and the Japs also knew that they could not easily let the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army capture the county seat.
Walk.
Even if the Japanese have mobilized some of their troops to go to the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese still do not want accidents to happen on the Chinese battlefield. They need to maintain their deterrence on the Chinese battlefield.
The battle in Wubao County will become the focus of this battle. If the 120th Division can successfully defend Wubao County, then the Japanese can only stop counterattacks, shrink their troops, and lick their wounds. But if the Japanese capture Wubao County,
Then the Japanese counterattack will become stronger again and will inevitably move towards the hinterland of the 120th Division Anti-Japanese Base Area.
For the Japanese, whether they can capture Wubao County is not that important, and it will not have much impact. Even if the 120th Division finds the opportunity to capture several counties, the Japanese will not have much impact.
In the county town recaptured by the 120th Division, the area occupied by the Japanese was still very large.
But for the 120th Division, the battle in Wubao County cannot be failed. The hinterland of the 120th Division's anti-Japanese base area is Yan'an. In order to ensure the safety of Yan'an, Wubao County must be defended! Only in this way can the Japanese troops be prevented from marching in and approaching directly.
Yan'an threatens the safety of the bosses.
Liu Gen seriously thought about what he could do in the next battle, but after thinking carefully, he found that he could not do much. Only two people wanted to affect the battle in Wubao County.
The choice is to either kill enough Japs or kill the Japs commander!
Among these two choices, it will be extremely difficult to achieve either one. At least Liu Gen does not think that he is capable of doing it. The artillery battalion of the 120th Division is in his hands, but it is limited by the number of artillery shells, making the artillery battalion
The combat effectiveness cannot be fully exerted.
Liu Gen knew very well that even if he brought the artillery battalion to Wubao County, he would not be able to have much impact on the battle in Wubao County. With the current state of the artillery battalion, it would be difficult to kill the Japanese artillery, let alone the Japanese heavy artillery unit.
If you can't kill the Japanese heavy artillery troops, you won't be able to have much impact on the Japanese attack.
Liu Gen frowned and thought. He urgently wanted to find a way, a way that could affect the outcome of Wubao County's defense. The next defense work in Nuanquan Town would not be a big problem. Liu Gen was not in Nuanquan.
Town, it won't have much impact.
It was out of this consideration that Liu Gen wanted to intervene in the defensive battle of Wubao County and help the 120th Division win the defensive battle of Wubao County.
However, no matter what Liu Gen did, he could not think of a good breakthrough point. It was impossible to kill enough Japs, and the commander who wanted to kill the Japs would not be so easy.
The Japs Commander is not a fool. In such a battle, he will definitely pay special attention to his own safety and will not be able to easily reveal his position.
If you want to kill the Japs Commander, you need to know the specific location of the Japs Commander. Only in this way can you have the slightest chance of killing the Japs Commander. Even if you can kill the Japs Commander, you cannot easily escape if you want to.
.
If the Japs' reaction speed is not slow, if they are a little careless, they will definitely be surrounded and killed by the Japs.
Arriving at the frontline position, the comrades of the artillery battalion were repairing the defensive position, while Xue Bing and other guards of the guard company were resting in place. It can be seen that the condition of the guards of the guard company has recovered a lot, and it is better than just after returning from the battlefield.
It felt much better when I retired.
"Xue Bing, come here." Seeing Xue Bing, Liu Gen shouted directly.
Xue Bing quickly stood up and ran to Liu Gen. He had a bandage on his arm. During today's battle, he was accidentally bitten by a Japanese bullet.
"Xue Bing, how do you think we can kill the Japanese commander?" Liu Gen asked with some anticipation.
Xue Bing has good abilities, Liu Gen hopes that Xue Bing can bring him a little surprise, or trigger him.
