As soon as he returned to the artillery camp, Liu Gen could see the soldiers moving their bodies, and some were even training.

Looking at these soldiers, Liu Gen knew why they were training by themselves. The reason was very simple. Only in this way would they not fall asleep due to being too sleepy. The soldiers did not get enough sleep last night, and naturally their spirits were not affected.

Okay, but there is no way. Who keeps them from sleeping? If Liu Gen hadn't punished them once in the night, I'm afraid the soldiers of the artillery team still wouldn't be able to sleep.

Instead of starting the training of the soldiers directly and letting the soldiers train on their own, Liu Gen called Yungui and left the artillery team with several squads of soldiers.

The other soldiers watched all this without saying anything, nor did they have the slightest idea of ​​asking. The soldiers all knew clearly that since the captain Liu Gen did not say anything, it meant that it was not suitable for them to know.

In this regard, the soldiers naturally had no intention of asking, even Zhang Jun.

After taking Yungui and other soldiers away from the artillery team, and taking out several mountain cannons and shells from the artillery team, Liu Gen led them towards the northwest corner of the brigade, which was relatively desolate and relatively hidden. There were still many weapons in the hands of the soldiers.

The purpose of holding the tools was to dig holes and hide the mountain cannons. When they saw several mountain cannons, Yungui and others reacted and knew that they wanted to hide the mountain cannons.

Without Liu Gen opening his mouth to explain, the soldiers knew why they did this. No one asked, and everyone followed Liu Gen silently.

Along the way, the soldiers could see that there were no other soldiers around, obviously to keep it secret. Noticing this, the soldiers' faces became a little more solemn. Knowing that this matter needed to be kept secret, the soldiers naturally knew what to do.

How to do it.

…

Lucheng is the headquarters of the 36th Division, and all officers above the captain of the 36th Division are here.

The division commander Jingguan Ren, who had not been in Lucheng before, hurried back to Lucheng to command the battle after learning that the two infantry brigades had failed in their mopping up and suffered heavy losses. The failure of this mopping up not only made the 36th Division

It was embarrassing and even made Lieutenant General Jingguan Ren reprimanded.

Even if the 36th Division sent two infantry brigades to sweep the Eighth Route Army base area as a test, such a test also means that there will not be too many casualties. Facing the old opponent of the 386th Brigade, Jingguan Ren still attaches great importance to it.

This is why he directly sent two infantry brigades to fight together. In Jingguan Ren's view, no matter how strong the 386 brigade's combat effectiveness is, it cannot eliminate the two infantry brigades in a short time.

But who would have thought that the 386th Brigade decisively used artillery units and successfully killed the artillery of the two infantry brigades. The fighter planes that went to support the two infantry brigades were also damaged. Previously, a fighter plane was killed by the Eighth Route Army. Jingguan Ren

He also knew about this, but he thought it was just a coincidence.

But this time, a fighter plane was damaged again. Jing Guanren knew that this was no longer a coincidence, but that the Eighth Route Army had a method to deal with the fighter planes. The North China Front Army Headquarters also knew this and ordered Jing Guanren to investigate the matter and find out

The Eighth Route Army's methods of dealing with fighter planes.

In the headquarters, Jing Guanren looked gloomy, and his cold eyes swept across the officers present, making these officers feel extremely heavy pressure!

"Yamamoto! Tell me! Why did our sweep against the Japanese Imperial Army fail this time!" Iguchi Ren's eyes fell on a colonel, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Colonel Yamamoto, who was ordered by Iguchi Ren, trembled slightly, took two steps forward, and said: "When we made the battle plan, we underestimated these Tubal Roads. We did not take these Tubal Road artillery units into account.

.”

"At the same time, we did not expect that the artillery troops of Tubal Road would be so strong. They could kill the artillery of two infantry brigades and suppress our troops with firepower! These Tubal Roads are growing too fast! We need to control them.

suppress!"

The other Japanese officers were speechless. They were all officers of the 36th Division and were constantly fighting with the Eighth Route Army. During the battle, they could naturally feel the changes in the Eighth Route Army and knew that the Eighth Route Army was constantly getting stronger! But this situation has never been achieved.

The North China Front Army Headquarters attached great importance to it, and their focus was more on the battle on the front line.

"Yamamoto! I will leave it to you to clean up these Tubal Roads. I hope you won't disappoint me!" Jingguan Ren looked at Colonel Yamamoto and said seriously.

Colonel Yamamoto shouted loudly: "Hai! I promise to complete the sweep of these Tubal Roads! There will never be a Tubal Road unit in the occupied area again."

Jingguan Ren nodded with satisfaction. He believed in Yamamoto's ability. These Tubal Roads that are constantly active in the occupied areas also need to be cleared up! Previously, these Tubal Roads destroyed the traffic lines in the occupied areas on a large scale and in an organized manner.

, which greatly affected the battle of the frontline troops. The supplies needed by the frontline troops could not be delivered, which delayed the war. From the North China Front Army Headquarters, Jingguan Ren learned that all units of the North China Front Army were dispatching troops to launch an encirclement and suppression of the Tubal Road base area.

During this period of time, wars broke out in various regions of North China. It was almost a mess! In order to clear out these Tubal Roads that were extremely active in the occupied areas, all troops in North China received orders to carry out raids.

On October 20, the Japanese 36th Division organized two regiments with more than 8,000 people, departing from Wuxiang, Lucheng and other places to launch a raid on the Qingzhang River area. At the same time, the Japanese independent mixed 4th Brigade set out from Wuxiang, Lucheng and other places.

Departing from Wu'an and Liao County, they also launched a raid on the Qingzhang River area. In order to cooperate with the raid, the Japs in each stronghold were mobilized. A large number of Japanese and puppet troops attacked the Eighth Route Army base area, focusing on the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the 129th Division headquarters.

As well as the Matian, Zuohuijian area where the party and government agencies are located on the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan border, as well as Shexian County and Piancheng area!

At the 386th Brigade Headquarters, after learning from the headquarters that the Japanese had gathered large forces to attack the base area, the brigade commander summoned the heads of the regiments of the 386th Brigade and the cadres of the brigade headquarters to come to a meeting! Each regiment is not far from the brigade headquarters.

The purpose is to prevent the Japanese from carrying out another raid!

Liu Gen came to the brigade headquarters and looked a little solemn when he learned about the Japanese troops coming to mop up the troops. Don’t worry too much about the Japanese independent 4th brigade. Their combat effectiveness is too poor to pose much of a threat. But the Japanese 36th Division

The strength of the two regiments dispatched by the regiment needs to be paid enough attention to. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese 36th Division is not weak, and it often competes with various units of the Eighth Route Army.

When he came to the war room, Li Yunlong and others had not arrived yet. He could see the brigade commander and chief of staff looking at the map and formulating the next combat plan of the 386th Brigade!

Liu Gen stood in a corner and did not bother the brigade commander and the others to formulate a battle plan. As the captain of the artillery team of the brigade, he only needed to obey the command of the brigade. Liu Gen believed that the Japanese raids would definitely happen this time.
Chapter completed!
