"Listen to me! Get ready! ”

"Put!"

With Liu Gen's order, the soldiers of the artillery battalion quickly put the shells into the barrels of the mortars according to the order, and by the time the devil artillery on the city wall realized that the 714th Regiment also had artillery, it was already too late. In a short distance, the devil artillery did not have time to escape, and was directly hit by the shells fired by the soldiers of the artillery battalion, and the explosive shells took away the lives of the devils one by one.

Suddenly bombarded by the Eighth Route Army, the devils on the city wall were stunned, and the battlefield became strangely calm. However, the devils reacted quickly, and they pulled the trigger hard again, shooting wildly under the city walls.

The devils defending on the walls know that no matter what happens, they need to defend with all their might, and unless there is really no hope, these devils will not choose to surrender. As for the puppet army responsible for assisting in the defense, their expressions became a little strange, the devil's artillery was killed, and the puppet army realized that it was difficult for Wubao County to hold in the crazy attack of the Eighth Route Army.

The puppet army, which was not very attentive to defense, became more and more careless when defending, except for a few puppet soldiers who usually committed a lot of crimes and knew that the Eighth Route Army rushed to their own death, most of the puppet army subconsciously raised the muzzle of the gun a lot when shooting.

In the front-line command post, Regiment Commander Zhang saw the explosion on the city wall and knew that the artillery of these devils was directly killed by the soldiers of the artillery battalion of the division headquarters led by Liu Gen. In the interval between the shelling of Liu Gen and others, Regiment Commander Zhang could hear that the devil artillery on the city wall did not carry out any counterattack, and the result was very obvious.

"Pass my orders! Two minutes later, the whole regiment was loaded with bayonets! Launch a general assault on the county seat of Wubao! ”

"All the comrades of our 714th Regiment have to rush up, and the county brigade and district teams are behind, and we will wait until our 714th Regiment is really unable to rush before going up!" Tuan Chang commanded loudly.

The soldiers of the 714th Regiment took out the bayonets they carried with them and attached them to the rifles in their hands, their faces were firm, and in the night, it was like a raging wave about to erupt. The warriors looked determined, and the moment they encountered the devil, they would burst out with their strongest strength, tear apart the devil's defense line on the city wall, and take the county in the shortest possible time.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The shells kept flying out of the mortar and landed around the fire points exposed by the devils, and Liu Gen personally controlled a mortar and killed 50 percent of the devils' fire points. The remaining firepower of the devils was killed by the soldiers of the artillery battalion, and the skills of the soldiers could not be compared with Liu Gen, but compared with Liu Gen, there were undoubtedly a lot more mortars in their hands.

One shell can't kill the devil's firepower point, so just shoot a few more shots, so many soldiers fire together, no matter how well the devil's firepower is arranged, it won't have any effect.

Of course, Liu Gen and the others were able to go so smoothly, and it was also because the 714 Regiment had put enough pressure on the devils when they attacked Wubao County, so that the devils would expose these firepower points and the artillery they had. If this is not the case, then Liu Gen will inevitably need to spend more time in Wubao County.

"You guys stay! Assist the 714th Regiment in the attack on Wubao County, and the other comrades will transfer with me. After leaving behind the soldiers of an artillery company, Zhang Wei quickly packed up the artillery with the other fighters and prepared to transfer again.

The location of Wubao County is somewhat special, and it naturally cannot be compared with Lishi County in terms of strategic location, but Wubao County is the bridgehead for the devils to carry out Yan'an. The 714th Regiment's success in taking Wubao County is not the end, only when the devils react and successfully resist the devils' attack on Wubao County will it be over.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion of a company can help the 714 regiment relieve a lot of pressure, even if the devil's reinforcements arrive, the 714 regiment will have the strength to fight.

"Kill! Kill! ”

"Comrades! Rush up with me and take out the devils on the walls! ”

“……”

As soon as Liu Gen and the soldiers of the artillery battalion put away the artillery and prepared to transfer with the artillery, they could see the soldiers of the 714th Regiment rushing towards Wubao County. I don't know when, there was already a soldier who touched the gate of the devil's city, the soldier placed the explosives bag, and in less than twenty seconds, there was a loud bang at the gate of Wubao County.

Compared with the sound caused by the explosion of mortar shells, this loud noise is undoubtedly much louder, and the city gate is directly blown open!

"It seems that it will not be a problem for the 714th Regiment to take Wubao County." Seeing that the gate of the county seat was blown open, Liu Gen opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

The faces of the soldiers of the artillery battalion showed obvious joy, what were they fighting with Liu Gen's constant transfer? Isn't it just to help other troops successfully take the county seat of the devil? Seeing that Wubao County, with the assistance of himself and others, was about to be successfully taken by the 714th Regiment, the soldiers were very excited.

"That's it! We're going to move on to other places, and we need to get going! Liu Gen looked at the soldiers around him and said with a serious expression.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion looked stunned, did not dare to say any more, followed Liu Gen, and quickly rushed towards the location of the cavalry detachment. From time to time, there were stray bullets from the devils flying by, but this time the soldiers did not have any fear, even if they were hit by stray bullets, what could they do? As long as you can take the county seat, then all the sacrifices are worth it.

Ten minutes later, Liu Gen and the others came to the position of the cavalry detachment, and the soldiers of the cavalry detachment helped Liu Gen and them put the artillery on the war horse again, which was also the only time that Liu Gen and them could rest.

"Let's go!"

After Liu Gen and the soldiers of the artillery battalion all got on their horses, Captain Yao directly gave the order to transfer, and then they needed to go to Shilou County, which was nearly fifty kilometers away, and it would take at least an hour and a half, which was still established if everything went well.

At the same time, in Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the First Army of the Devils, Yoshio Iwamatsu constantly issued orders to mobilize various troops. At the same time, the officers in the headquarters who were already ready to rest were all summoned to the headquarters by Iwamatsu Yoshio, and he needed these officers to see the combat intentions of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time.

Iwamatsu Yoshio didn't know much about the 120th Division, and when he came to become the commander of the First Army, the 120th Division had already been transferred back to Yan'an to be responsible for the protection of Yan'an. Tonight, when he suddenly learned that the troops under the command of the 120th Division had taken the initiative to launch an attack on Lishi County, Iwamatsu Yoshio thought that he was joking with him.

The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army was responsible for protecting the security of Yan'an, and it was rarely mobilized on weekdays, let alone directly attacking the county seat occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army. Iwamatsu Yoshio felt that unless the commander of the 120th Division had a problem with his thinking, he would not choose to take action against Lishi County.

But when Iwamatsu Yoshio really saw the telegram from Lishi County for help, his face was extremely ugly, and he found that this was not a joke with himself, the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army really launched an attack on Lishi County. From the telegram sent by Lishi County, the troops of the Eighth Route Army besieging Lishi County were strong in battle and should have belonged to the main force of the 120th Division.

Iwamatsu Yoshio didn't understand why the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which rarely moved, would choose to attack suddenly, the defense of Shixian City was not weak, and it was not easy to take it in a short time.

However, considering the important strategic location of Lishi County, Iwamatsu Yoshio still issued an order for the troops in the surrounding area to go to support as quickly as possible.

"Gentlemen, have you seen why the troops of the Eighth Route Army are attacking Lishi County? Is there something we don't know about? Iwamatsu Yoshio looked at the officers and staff officers who were talking and asked in a deep voice.

Iwamatsu Yoshio did not dare to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and he would not forget why his predecessor, Yoshio Shinozuka, was transferred back to his homeland, because he failed to suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army. In particular, after the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the army base camp paid special attention to the encirclement and suppression of the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied areas.

After Iwamatsu Yoshio took over as commander of the First Army, he also launched several sweeps of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and achieved good results.

Who would have thought that the troops of the Eighth Route Army would suddenly make such a big move as soon as they were quiet for a while, could it be said that these Eighth Route Army were not worried about being encircled and suppressed by the Imperial Japanese Army again?

The officers and staff officers lowered their heads, they knew too little information to see the combat intentions of the 120th Division at all, and the only information they saw was that Lishi County needed emergency rescue! The strategic location of Lishi County is too important to fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

"Yaga! A bunch of rubbish! Yoshio Iwamatsu opened his mouth and scolded angrily.
