Chapter 469: The 129th Division counterattacks
Leaving the headquarters of the 129th Division with the soldiers, Liu Gen and others rushed towards the direction of Liao County, and after the transfer, the 129th Division was in the area of Shexian County, and it was not long after getting rid of the devil sweeping troops.
There are still a lot of devil troops in the Shexian area, and in order to ensure their own safety, Liu Gen and others are vigilant enough when they act. Considering that the independent regiment was at the junction of Shexian and Liao counties, Liu Gen deliberately went to the independent regiment and asked the monk over.
Liu Gen knows the strength of the monk very well, and with the help of the monk, he will definitely be able to relax when he encounters a devil. Of course, Liu Gen and the others this time were to return to Liao County, and it was very likely that their lives would be in danger, and he had also asked the monk's opinion, and the monk naturally had no problems. When the monk left the independent regiment, Li Yunlong was worried about the lack of firepower of Liu Gen and others, and deliberately handed over the best light machine gun in the independent regiment to the monk.
The monk is a good hand at using light machine guns, especially when he takes the lead in the charge, he can bring great threat to the devil when he holds the light machine gun. In addition, the monk's physical fitness is very good, which makes the monk with a light machine gun and enough ammunition to keep up with Liu Gen and the others, and he will not be too tired.
In terms of injury recovery, the monk recovered very well, better than Liu Gen's recovery. The reason is very simple, Liu Gen lost too much blood when he was injured before, which damaged his vitality, and he needed a long time of cultivation to recover. The monk is different, he does not lose much blood, with his physical fitness, as long as there is no problem with the wound, then he can recover quickly.
After leaving the independent regiment, Liu Gen and the others advanced at full speed, Liao County and Shexian County were together, and it would not take too long to rush to Liao County.
In order to avoid being discovered by the devil troops, when Liu Gen and the others were advancing, most of them would move between the mountains, unless there were really no mountains, Liu Gen and the others would walk on the path outside at the risk of being exposed. Along the way, Liu Gen and others found a lot of devil troops, and these devils were stained with a lot of blood, which made the monk and others can't help but want to kill these devils directly.
If it weren't for Liu Gen suppressing here, then the monks would probably have chosen to take action a long time ago, and I don't know how many devils they would kill.
Entering Liao County, Liu Gen found that the devil sweeping troops had caused great damage to Liao County, many villages were burned by devils, grain and livestock were stolen by devils, and the remains of many villagers could be seen in the burned villages. Liu Gen and the others looked at all this, they didn't say anything, they clenched their teeth, and their eyes were already red.
Late at night the next day after departure, Liu Gen and others came to the cross ridge in Matian, Liao County, and in the night, Liu Gen could see many bomb craters on the cross ridge, and even more could see that there were many traces left by the devil air fighters under the cross ridge. Here, Liu Gen could see the remains of the personnel and soldiers of the headquarters, and looking at the traces left under the Cross Ridge, he could imagine the chaos at that time.
The personnel of the headquarters have not experienced the attack of devil fighters, and when they encounter devil fighters, they will inevitably panic, and then the order of the transfer will become chaotic. With the personality of the deputy chief of the general staff, under such circumstances, he will inevitably choose to stay and stabilize the state of the personnel and soldiers of the various organs of the headquarters to ensure that the transfer can be completed smoothly.
Liu Gen and the others kept looking on the cross ridge, and they could see that the cross ridge was full of traces of battle, where the warriors fought fiercely with the devils and repelled many attacks by the devils. Just thinking of the crater at the top of the Cross Ridge, Liu Gen had a slight bad feeling in his heart, that position was likely to be the location of the headquarters.
And the deputy chief of the General Staff will most likely be there, could it be that the devil artillery found the position of the deputy chief of the General Staff, and then deployed the artillery?
"Bang"
Liu Gen slammed his fist into the tree beside him, causing the entire tree to tremble slightly, and the pain from his fist calmed him down a lot. Looking at the soldiers around him, Liu Gen realized that he couldn't be like this, and as the commander of this squad, he needed to stay calm enough.
"Contact the Division!"
"Inform the division headquarters that we arrived safely at the Cross Ridge, and there were traces of devil shelling on the top of the cross ridge, and we were attacked by devil fighters when the headquarters organs were transferred, and no trace of the deputy chief of general staff was found for the time being! We will stay at Cross Ridge for the time being, and continue to search after dawn, and do our best to find the trail of the Deputy Chief of Staff! ”
The correspondent turned on the radio and, according to what Liu Gen said, quickly reported to the division headquarters. After contacting the characters of the division headquarters as quickly as possible, the correspondent turned off the radio station again and kept it silent to avoid being discovered by the devils.
At this time, after receiving Liu Gen's telegram, the commander of the 129th Division, who had not yet rested, became even more dignified. The telegram was simple, but the division commander could imagine the difficulties and dangers faced by the deputy chief of the General Staff in directing the transfer of the headquarters organs, without sufficient forces in his hands, let alone any anti-aircraft weapons.
This also means that the devil fighters can attack unscrupulously, and there is a steady stream of devil troops, so you can imagine the danger at that time.
"Send this telegram to headquarters at once! In addition, I ordered all units of our 129th Division to look for opportunities to launch a counterattack against the devils, and to kill and injure the devils to the greatest extent. In addition, we were ordered to move to the outer line at 129 o'clock to find an opportunity to attack the devil's Changzhi Airport and Handan Chang Highway, destroy the devil's transportation line as much as possible, force the devil to withdraw troops and call back, and reduce the devil's strength in the base area. After looking at the map, the division commander opened his mouth and ordered.
The devil's sweep in the base area is still continuing, and the devil can't be allowed to continue to be arrogant, and it's still okay to kill some devils before the devil reacts!
Soon, each unit received an order from the division commander to organize its own forces to launch a counterattack against the devils. The troops transferred to the Changzhi area launched the sabotage work on the Devil's Highway and Railway and other communication lines as quickly as possible, and at the same time looked for an opportunity to attack the Devil's Changzhi Airport! The devils transferred a large number of troops to sweep up, and at this time, the devils' troops in the direction of Changzhi were somewhat insufficient, and this was the opportunity of the 129th Division.
In less than a night, the headquarters of the First Army of the Devils received the news that many troops were attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the casualties were not very large, but they were enough to give Iwamatsu Yoshio a headache. In the face of the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio was naturally unwilling to do nothing, and under his order, the devil sweeping troops advanced again, and the situation in the entire Shanxi became a little chaotic.
During the period when the devils launched a sweep of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, the various units of the Jin Sui Army also moved, but they were not large, and at most they could only kill some of the devils' strongholds, and they didn't want to attract the main force of the devils. Among them, Chu Yunfei's 358 Regiment went all out, taking advantage of the opportunity of the devil to transfer troops. A number of devil strongholds were cleared within fifty kilometers of the 358 regiment station.
Among the entire Jin Sui Army, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment performed the most brilliantly, which was noticed by Chairman Jiang of Chongqing and commended by the Chongqing government.
