Chapter 272: Preparing for a Counterattack

Looking at the devil fighter flying at a low altitude, a cold light flashed in Liu Gen's eyes, and he put the cannonball in his hand into the barrel, and in an instant, the transformed cannonball flew out.

"Cannonballs!" Liu Gen ordered in a low voice.

Yun Gui hurriedly prepared the cannonball into Liu Gen's hands, Yun Gui's movements were very fast, after putting the cannonball into Liu Gen's hands, he picked up a cannonball again, there was still plenty of time, Liu Gen should take the opportunity to shoot a few more shells. With the cooperation of Yun Gui, one shell after another was fired quickly, and in just ten seconds, six shells were shot out!

The soldiers looked at all this, and their eyes were full of shock when they looked at Liu Gen, it was really Liu Gen's speed that was a little too fast. Six shells were fired in ten seconds, so as long as Liu Gen could hold on, he would be able to fire thirty-six shells in one minute, which was almost the limit of the mortar rate of fire. Even if Liu Gen increases his speed again, limited by the rate of mortar fire, there will not be much change.

Yun Gui was not too shocked, but a little self-blamed, he knew that Liu Gen could do better, but because of him, he was affected.

Among the fighters present, there was no one who could fire six shells in ten seconds, and even four of them required their full strength, let alone six. The soldiers looked at Liu Gen, they could see that Liu Gen's expression was calm, and they couldn't see the slightest tiredness, that is, if there was enough time, Liu Gen could continue to maintain such a speed!

In the air, there was a roaring explosion, in order to ensure that it could hit the devil fighter, Liu Gen's six shells were almost all in one position, in order to be able to hit the devil fighter and avoid its successful escape. The roaring explosion and the fragments of the shells that flew out quickly made the devil's pilot look frightened, and controlled the fighter plane to climb up quickly.

"See what I'm doing? Not yet retreating? Do you want to stay here and wait for the devil fighters to come? Liu Gen picked up the mortar, which was a little hot, and quickly retreated towards the depths of the mountain forest.

The surrounding soldiers reacted, their faces couldn't help but change, they knew that Liu Gen was right, and they could also see that the devil fighter plane was rushing towards the location of this mountain forest after climbing rapidly. Black smoke came out of a devil fighter, and even if the devil pilot reacted quickly, the fighter was still attacked by shells, making it impossible for the fighter to continue fighting.

The remaining two devil fighters frantically rushed towards the area where Liu Gen and the others were, but in order to avoid being attacked, the two fighters maintained a certain flight altitude, and the machine guns continued to strafe this area, as for whether they could hit Liu Gen and the others in the mountains and forests, they didn't care. The devil pilots just wanted to use this way to hide the horror in their hearts, and they knew that the Eighth Route Army had such a method, and they would definitely not be careless.

"Cannonballs!"

In the process of escaping, Liu Gen looked back and saw the devil fighters that were constantly strafing with machine guns above the mountains and forests, and his eyes lit up, the two devil fighters did not fly at low altitudes, and they should be about 1,500 meters away from the mountains and forests. It is undoubtedly impossible to hit a devil fighter at such a height with a mortar.

Yun Gui, who was following Liu Gen, reacted, quickly took out a cannonball and handed it to Liu Gen, he looked at the devil fighter plane circling in the air and understood Liu Gen's thoughts. Just looking at the flight altitude of the devil fighter in the air, Yun Gui was a little skeptical, he didn't know if Liu Gen would be able to hit the devil's fighter. And most importantly, mortars may not be able to hit such heights at all, right?

"Bang"

The shell flew out, and Liu Gen directly picked up the mortar and retreated again, not even looking to see if the shell could hit the devil's fighter.

On the way to retreat, Yun Gui couldn't help but look back, wondering if the shell had hit the devil's fighter. But what made Yun Gui a little disappointed was that there were no problems with the two devils' fighters, but there were shells exploding in the air again, which made the two devils' fighters choose to climb again, not daring to continue to fire with machine guns.

"Captain, that shot just now failed to hit the devil fighter." Yun Gui said to Liu Gen.

Liu Gen didn't stop, his expression was calm, "That's for sure, at the altitude of the devil fighter's flight, it is impossible to hit again." I'm just trying to buy some time, aren't these two devil fighters now stopping strafing? ”

Suddenly, Yun Gui understood, it turned out that Liu Gen had this purpose, no wonder Liu Gen didn't care if he could hit the devil's fighter plane. Yun Gui looked at the other fighters, he could see that in the strafing of the devils, there were still a few soldiers who were accidentally injured, but because the devils were strafing at a certain height, when the bullets hit the soldiers, the power dropped a lot, and the injuries of the soldiers were not serious.

Looking at Liu Gen, who was moving forward quickly with a mortar, Yun Gui seemed to understand why Liu Gen did this, and continued to let the devils shoot, I am afraid that the soldiers would be injured more, and even said that there would be soldiers who would die here.

……

At the front-line headquarters, the brigade commander looked at the devil fighters that were constantly circling in the air, and knew that the Eighth Route Army below had weapons that could threaten them, and the devil pilots did not dare to continue to take risks. And the inability to fly at low altitude naturally means that the machine guns on the fighter plane cannot play much role, but the devil pilots are unwilling to evacuate like this. The devil fighters are circling, and the two infantry brigades of the devils are also attacking, and thousands of devils are constantly advancing under the cover of the fighters.

"Order all regiments to avoid the enemy's edge, wait until the devil fighters retreat, and then counterattack! Without my orders, not a single regiment could show its head on its own initiative. The brigade commander commanded.

With the help of the signal corps, the 386 Brigade had already successfully established a telephone communication network in this area, which was sufficient to ensure that the communication between the front-line command and the regiments would not be hindered. The position of the front-line command is very hidden, and the soldiers have made a lot of camouflage around, so that the devil fighters have not been able to discover the location of the front-line command.

Of course, even if the devils find out about the front-line command, it will not have much effect, and under the orders of the brigade commander, most of the personnel in the front-line command are already in the car. When the devil fighter comes, there will be no gain.

"Those shots just now were fired by Liu Gen, right?" The brigade commander looked at the devil fighter plane hovering in the air and asked.

The brigade commander took the 386th Brigade to fight with the devils many times, and he also faced many situations where the devils sent fighters to assist in the attack. In the face of the devil's fighters, the 386 Brigade suffered enough. It is very difficult to use machine guns to shoot down devils' fighters, and devil pilots are not fools, and when they encounter the light machine guns concentrated by the Eighth Route Army, they will naturally choose to climb quickly, and will not let the Eighth Route Army's light machine guns strafe. Coupled with the extremely fast speed of the Devil Fighter, it is even more difficult to hit the Devil Fighter with a light machine gun.

In the entire Eighth Route Army, there is no good way to deal with devil fighters, even if the Eighth Route Army has fought with devil fighters a lot of times, there is no way. The Eighth Route Army was too poor to form its own air force, and the blockade of the Eighth Route Army by the Nationalist Army and the Japanese Army made it impossible for the Eighth Route Army to get fighters.

"It should be Company Commander Liu, and he has such a ability in the whole brigade." Xiao Li said affirmatively.

The brigade commander nodded, and couldn't help but ponder, Liu Gen, as the captain of the artillery team, has such a ability, so can he also let other soldiers learn it? If the other fighters did the same as Liu Gen, then if they encountered the devil's fighter again, they would not be helpless, and they could only be beaten passively. Being beaten passively is not the style of a brigade commander.

"Wait until after the war, let Genzi cultivate the ability of the artillery fighters in this regard, judging from the damage of the devil fighters, it is still feasible for Genzi to do this." The brigade commander said in a deep voice.

Xiao Li was slightly stunned and wrote this down without much surprise. Since Liu Gen has such a ability, it is normal to be reused by the brigade commander, and Xiao Li is also very happy to see that the 386 Brigade has a way to deal with devil fighters. For the soldiers, anyone who sees the arrogant fighter plane of the devil in the air will be extremely annoyed, and will want to use all kinds of methods to knock down the devil fighter.

"Order all regiments again, and when the devil fighters retreat, they will immediately launch a counterattack against the devils! Whether you can eat meat or not, it depends on this time! Let Li Yunlong and others show some real skills, what is a little family background? Just earn it when it's used up, don't buckle the rope! The brigade commander looked at the devil fighters hovering in the sky and knew that they would not stay long.

Picked up the binoculars and looked at the thousands of devils who were constantly attacking, there was a cold light flashing in the brigade commander's eyes, these little devils should be enough for the 386 Brigade to replenish a wave, as long as some of them are killed, then the goal will be achieved! As for the annihilation of these little devils, the brigade commander does not have such an idea, and now the fighters of each regiment of the 386 Brigade are a little insufficient, and they are about to fight to the death with these devils, so the casualties will definitely be more, and how to face the devil's sweep again?

It didn't take long for Li Yunlong and the others to know the relevant orders of the brigade commander, and they gritted their teeth one by one and took out the accumulated family funds, and the brigade commander opened his mouth, so naturally they couldn't hide it anymore. The artillery batteries formed by the regiments were prepared accordingly, and the artillery batteries of the regiments did not open fire before there were artillery teams for artillery support. Now I'm about to fight back, and if I don't show some real skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink soup.

Under the orders of Li Yunlong and others, the soldiers of each regiment were ready to counterattack, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit, and the bullets were replenished.

In the woods, Liu Gen stopped, he looked at the devil fighter plane hovering in the air, turned around decisively, and ran in the direction of the front line. Seeing Liu Gen's move, the soldiers did not hesitate, and directly followed Liu Gen's footsteps and rushed towards the front line. Noticing that the fighters were following, Liu Gen was a little satisfied, and at this point, the fighters did a good job.

Five minutes later, Liu Gen came to the edge of the woods and looked at the devil fighter hovering in the air again, he could see that the devil fighter no longer stayed, and chose to evacuate at full speed. The devil pilots knew that it would be useless to stay, and they did not dare to continue the low-altitude attack, and they could not pose an effective threat to the Eighth Route Army at all.
