Chapter 560: Confident Devil

There is a city wall in Liulin County, which was left from the past, and after the devils occupied the county seat, it was reinforced and repaired to a certain extent.

Now, the city wall has become an important support for Commander Chen to defend Liulin County, and with the city wall, at least it can delay the devil for enough time. Unless the devil directly mobilizes enough heavy artillery, he can destroy the city wall of Liulin County in the shortest possible time.

"Buzz" "Buzz"

"Commander, the devil plane is here."

Commander Chen looked into the air, and could see that there were several black dots in the air approaching Liulin County quickly, and it was the devil's fighter. There are not many fighters coming from the devils, and Commander Chen originally thought that the devils might send more than a dozen or even more fighters at a time.

But now only a few devil fighters are coming, which means that the pressure on Liulin County's defense is not as great as expected.

It's just that even so, Regiment Commander Chen still didn't dare to have the slightest contempt, with the situation of the Eighth Route Army, there was not enough air defense in his hands, and there was no way to deal with the fighters attacked by the devils.

At this time, Regiment Commander Chen suddenly thought of Liu Gen, he had heard of Liu Gen's record of killing several devil fighters, if Liu Gen was in Liulin County, then he might still be able to pose a certain threat to devil fighters.

As for the current artillery in Liulin County, they don't have the ability to be as strong as Liu Gen, so naturally they can't pose a threat to the devil fighters.

Head Chen shook his head, he knew that it was impossible to let Liu Gen stay in Liulin County, even if Liu Gen was willing, the bosses of the headquarters and Yan'an would not agree. Commander Chen just thought about it, he knew how dangerous Liulin County's next defense was, Liu Gen was a talent, and he didn't want Liu Gen to have any problems.

"Everything is arranged, right? Let the comrades hide well and not be discovered by the devil fighters. Head Chen asked.

"It's all arranged, the people in the county have been evacuated, and those who don't want to be transferred have gone into the air-raid shelter." A fighter replied.

After occupying Liulin County, Regiment Commander Chen carried out the evacuation of the masses in the county, and most of the people obeyed the arrangements of the soldiers, except for a few diehards who made a little noise.

"Good!" Head Chen nodded with satisfaction.

When the devil fighter plane arrived in the sky above Liulin County, he could find that Liulin County was exceptionally quiet, which made the devil pilot realize that the Eighth Route Army had long been prepared to deal with air raids. But even so, the Devil fighter plane quickly dived down and dropped all the aerial bombs in the magazine.

Aerial bombs whizzed down from the sky and landed in the city of Liulin County, and the sound of loud explosions continued to sound, and some buildings were directly destroyed by devil shells. Fortunately, under the aerial bombs dropped by the devils, except for a few people who were unwilling to hide in air defense facilities, there were not many casualties.

Among them, several aerial bombs fell on the city wall of Liulin County, blowing up obvious gaps one after another, and the destructive power of the aerial bombs was too great, even the city wall was difficult not to be affected.

After the bomb dropping was over, the devil fighter left as soon as possible, and in the absence of any trace of the Eighth Route Army, the devil pilot naturally had no need to control the fighter plane to dive and shoot, which was a complete waste. There is not much that the devil fighter can use, and when there is no trace of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, it cannot achieve enough results.

When the devil fighters left, the warriors quickly appeared on the city wall, some of them remained vigilant, and the others quickly repaired the gaps in the city wall. The city wall is an important defense facility for the soldiers of the Death Task Force to resist the attack of the devils, and it is still very necessary to repair the city wall.

There was not much time left for the soldiers to repair the city wall, and twenty minutes later, there were devil troops appearing in the sight of the soldiers of the Death Mission. Looking from the city wall, you can see that the devils have a lot of troops, there are as many as three or four brigades, and the only thing that is fortunate is that there is no heavy artillery in the devils' ranks.

If the devil is carrying heavy artillery, then Commander Chen must consider evacuating Liulin County in the shortest possible time, after all, for the devil's heavy artillery, Liulin County is a fixed target, as long as there are enough shells, then the devil can use shells to repeatedly shell Liulin County.

"Get ready, warriors! It's going to be a tough battle! Head Chen put down the telescope in his hand, and his face was quite ugly.

From the binoculars, Commander Chen could see that the devils chose to divide their troops, and the four devil brigades directly chose to attack the four aspects of Liulin County, and it can be seen that these devils are very confident and are ready to directly eat the Eighth Route Army troops in Liulin County.

Compared with the devils, the troops in the hands of Commander Chen are somewhat insufficient, the troops in his hands are only about 2,000, and the strength of the devils to attack is twice as much as his. But even so, Regiment Commander Chen also has a certain degree of confidence in defending Liulin County, and it is difficult for the devils to exert too much advantage in terms of strength if they cannot easily destroy the city wall of Liulin County.

In Commander Chen's view, the devil is a little too big in doing this, even if the combat effectiveness of the devil's army is very strong, it does not mean that the devil can take Liulin County in a short time.

Soon, the battle in Liulin County began, and the commander of the devil unit was very proud, and he did not have the slightest idea of trying to attack, and directly launched an all-out attack on Liulin County. After the devils used mortars to bombard, the devil soldiers from all directions swarmed towards the city wall.

The combat effectiveness of the devil soldiers is not weak, and when charging, they do not forget to find cover and make various tactical moves.

But unfortunately, these devil soldiers rarely fight siege warfare, they are the garrison of devils in the occupied area, and they have no experience in siege warfare. Even if these devils perform well, they can't avoid the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hiding behind the city wall and constantly shooting, and the mortar in the hands of the devils is not enough to put pressure on the fire on the city wall.

After the devil soldiers rushed to less than fifty meters away from the city wall, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in charge of defense directly opened fire, and the heavy machine guns and light machine guns fired at the devil soldiers together, and the ghost soldiers who rushed forward could not find enough cover at all. Pieces of devil soldiers fell, and in less than a minute, hundreds of devil soldiers were directly killed.

Without waiting for the devil commander to give the order to retreat, the devil soldiers decisively looked for cover and hid, these devil soldiers knew very well that with the firepower exposed by the Eighth Route Army, they continued to charge, which was completely sending them to death. Even if there are ghost soldiers who are lucky enough to survive the charge, it is difficult to play a big role.

After seeing the vitality of the defense of the county seat of Liulin County, the commanders of the various devil infantry brigades became a little silent, and they realized that it was not easy for them to take the county seat of Liulin County before they could take out the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the city wall.

The devil commander tried to constantly use mortars to launch artillery attacks on the city walls, but unfortunately, the skills of the devil artillery were not so good, and the power of mortar shells was limited, so that the mortars did not play their due role. Of course, there is also a reason why the devil chose to divide the troops.

If these devils concentrate all the artillery, even if it is a mortar, it can have a great impact on the defense of Liulin County. But it's a pity that these four devil infantry brigades chose to divide their troops, and it is still a little difficult to unite these four devil infantry brigades before there is a commander who has enough weight.

"Let the comrades strengthen their vigilance, it is nothing to repel an attack by the devils, compared with the devils, we do not have much advantage." Instead of relaxing, Head Chen became more and more vigilant.

The defending warriors naturally understood that they were hiding behind the city walls, and except for the warriors who were responsible for observing the devils, the other warriors did not dare to relax in the slightest. From the attack launched by the devils, these soldiers can see that the devils have sufficient troops, and compared with the devils, they have a bit of a geographical advantage.

Throughout the morning, the devils tried to attack Liulin County continuously, but each attack was successfully repelled by the defending fighters.

It's just that after successfully repelling the devil's attack, the soldiers couldn't see the slightest joy on their faces, these devils were very smart, and after they realized that they couldn't take Liulin County in a short time, they organized the devil soldiers to continuously attack in the form of squads, so that the soldiers in charge of defense could not get any time to rest.

The combat effectiveness of the devil squad is not weak, and the soldiers cannot let the devil squad approach the city wall, otherwise it is easy for the devil squad to open a gap, and then the devil successfully rushes into the county seat. The walls were the only advantage the warriors had to defend, and they were not willing to give up the walls easily unless they were forced to do so.

On the city wall in the north of Liulin County, Regiment Commander Chen looked tired, and the devils continued to attack in the form of squads, consuming too much energy of the soldiers. At the same time, Commander Chen can be sure that the devil must still be brewing a big move, and the defense in the afternoon is the most critical moment.

This time, the 120th Division took advantage of the devil's defenselessness to take five county towns of the devil in one fell swoop, and with the character of the devil, it will inevitably retaliate fiercely. In other words, the counterattack of the devils is menacing, and they definitely want to solve the battle in the shortest possible time, and only in this way can the stability of the areas occupied by the devils be guaranteed.

The devil's counterattack needs to achieve certain results, and these devils cannot recapture the county town occupied by the 120th Division in the shortest possible time, so the other anti-Japanese forces in the area occupied by the devils will inevitably make some moves. For this, the devil is very clear, and the Eighth Route Army is also very clear.

The current battle requires Commander Chen to lead the soldiers to delay the devils for enough time, not too much, as long as there are three days, and the devils do not achieve enough results within three days, then it will be difficult for the devils to continue to be calm in the occupied area!

What's more, the 129th and 115th Divisions, as well as other units of the Eighth Route Army, have long been ready for battle and will attack the devil troops at any time.
