"Commander, are you looking for me?" Coming to the temporary regiment headquarters, Liu Gen asked with some confusion.

Ding Wei raised his head and put down the pen in his hand, "Genzi, you are here, come, let me tell you what you need your artillery company to do." ”

"Okay." Liu Gen nodded, came to Ding Wei's side, and looked at the map on the table.

His eyes fell on the map, Liu Gen could see that the location of the various divisions of the devils was marked on it, and he saw the devils closest to Fangshan Town, and Liu Gen knew the opponent he needed to face next, the 108th division of the devils. Of course, Fangshan Town is not worthy of all the 108th Division of the devils, only a wing or a brigade under its command will come.

"Our next opponent should be the devil's 108th division, the 108th division belongs to the devil's special division, with the 25th Infantry Brigade, the 104th Infantry Brigade, and four infantry wings, namely the 117132, 52, and 105 wings, as well as the 108th Wing of field artillery."

"As far as I know, the 108th Division, as a special division of the devils, is not very strong in combat, of course, this is compared with other divisions of the devils. But we still can't take it lightly, no matter how bad the devil division is, it is not something that our new regiment can contend with. In the mountains to fight the devils of the 108th Division, we occupy a geographical advantage, and the heavy firepower of the devils does not have much room to play. Ding Wei said with a solemn expression.

Liu Gen nodded, he knew the power of the devil, the 108th Division was a special division of the devil, and its combat effectiveness would be much weaker than that of other divisions of the devil. But this does not mean that the new regiment can not be taken seriously, and the new regiment does not yet have strong enough strength and capital.

"The devil will definitely not mobilize the strength of the entire division to deal with our new regiment, according to my estimates, at most one wing, most likely an infantry wing. The new regiment has fought against the Sakata Wing before, and you should also know how strong the Devil's Wing will be. ”

"The next battle that our new regiment will face is not optimistic, and your artillery company has an extremely important role in this battle. Once we find the location of the devil's artillery, then your artillery company will kill the devil's artillery, do you have any confidence? Ding Wei looked at Huo Tianming with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

Liu Gen's brows furrowed, it was very likely that the one who came was a wing of the 108th Division of the Devil, as far as he knew, in such a wing, the Devil was equipped with a Type 38 field artillery, with a caliber of 75mm, and a range of nearly four times that of the Type 92 infantry gun, with a distance of more than 8,000 meters.

With such a long range, it is undoubtedly impossible for the artillery company to knock out the devil's artillery unit.

"The devil's wing is equipped with 75mm field guns, and the range exceeds us too much, and our artillery company can only be intentional and weak. It's okay to knock out the devil's Type 92 infantry gun, which our artillery company can do. After pondering for a moment, Liu Gen said helplessly.

Ding Wei's expression was serious, he knew that what Liu Gen said was right, the 75mm field artillery equipped in the Devil Wing was indeed a headache. Unless the new regiment sends a small force to sneak attack the artillery positions of the devils. But Ding Wei still denied such an idea, it is quite difficult for a small group of troops to pose a threat to the devil's artillery unit, and the probability of failure is very high.

Unless he can know the artillery position of the devil for sure, Ding Wei will choose to send a small force to try, but the hope of success will not be too great.

"However, regiment commander, we don't have to worry, the devil's 75mm field gun is not as convenient to move as the Type 92 infantry gun, and after the devil enters the mountain, their field artillery cannot be transported to the mountain." Liu Gen said.

The Type 38 field artillery weighs one ton, not to mention the shells it needs to be equipped with, and it is undoubtedly impossible to transport it to the mountains to fight.

"I also know what you said, but with its range, the fighters of our regiment must be in the area of the devil's artillery fire." Ding Wei's face was a little ugly, how good it would be if the new regiment also had such a field artillery. Shaking his head, Ding Wei knew that the new regiment could not have field artillery, and that it was not something that the new regiment could raise.

"Maybe we can retreat a bit, and when the devils enter the mountain, we won't have to worry about their wild artillery." Liu Gen was a little helpless, he was a little greedy for the devil's Type 38 field artillery, but there was no way, it was extremely difficult to capture the devil's Type 38 field artillery.

Ding Wei nodded, knowing that the devil had a wild artillery, he would definitely try his best to avoid the soldiers being attacked by the devil's wild artillery. There are also wide enough mountains around, if you are on the plains, knowing that the devil has a field cannon, there will be no way, you can only bear it.

"Let the artillery company prepare, and in an hour we will set off and prepare for battle in advance." Looking at Liu Gen, Ding Wei commanded.

Back in the artillery company, Liu Gen told the soldiers about the battle, and the soldiers were quite excited. After entering the artillery battery, the fighters worked hard all the time, they wanted to prove themselves in battle. For this battle, the fighters of the artillery company were well prepared.

An hour later, Liu Gen took the soldiers of the artillery company to join Ding Wei, and he could see that the regiment's direct defense company was also dispatched, and Ding Wei did not dare to be careless in the face of the devil's coming revenge.

"Let's go!" Seeing the arrival of the soldiers, Ding Wei spoke.

The regimental defense company is at the front, and Liu Gen's artillery company is at the rear of the palace, and the soldiers are carrying ammunition on their shoulders. Judging from the news from the soldiers left behind in the Qidonggou Mountain, a brigade of devils has arrived in Fangshan Town and is building a position in Fangshan Town.

At the same time, the Devil's troops were constantly rushing towards Fangshan Town, and the 108th Division had attacked Liujiazhuang before, and was wanted by the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Guards, resulting in the defeat of the battle in the direction of Liujiazhuang, so that he was reprimanded by his superiors. This time, the 108th Division set its targets on Linxian and Xingxian, hoping to eliminate the Eighth Route Army troops around these two counties in one go.

From Ding Wei's mouth, Liu Gen learned that there were many troops around Linxian and Xing County, such as the 1st Independent Brigade of the 120th Division, the Jinxi Independent Detachment, and the 4th Column of the Death Squad. In the face of the devil's anti-encirclement and suppression, the headquarters issued an order to severely crack down on its arrogance and prevent it from achieving its strategic goals.

Coming to the second line of defense set up by the new regiment, the first line of defense is to delay the time of the devils and will not confront the devils head-on. The second line of defense is that you need to fight with the devil with real knives and guns, and blindly delaying time will not help, only by beating the devil hard, they will not dare to easily move against the new group. Coming to the second line of defense, here is the second battalion garrisoned, and you can see the soldiers of the second battalion digging trenches and laying mines.

After observing the surrounding environment, Liu Gen found a suitable place for the artillery company to build a position, because the firing angle of the Type 92 infantry gun was high enough, according to this, Liu Gen also found an anti-slope position suitable for the layout of the Type 92 infantry gun, so that since it can provide timely fire support for the soldiers on the ridge line or frontal position, it can also conceal itself to avoid being discovered by the devils.
