The existence of an artillery battalion made it extremely difficult for the devils to attack the position, and whenever the devils rushed to within 20 meters of Battalion Commander Zhang and others, they could no longer advance half a step.

After five or six attempts, the devils could not successfully rush into the position, and could only be repulsed again and again.

The devil commander's face was ugly, he thought that even without the help of artillery, he would be able to easily break through the position of the Eighth Route Army. In the impression of the devil commander, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army may have a certain strength, but it is simply not comparable to the artillery of the Great Japanese Empire.

But now, seeing that the attacks were repulsed again and again, the devil commander realized that he was wrong, he mistakenly underestimated the combat effectiveness of Liu Gen and others, and he fell into the current situation.

"Order the 3rd Infantry Squadron to withdraw! The 5th Infantry Squadron goes up! These dirt roads must not be allowed any time to rest. Seeing that the charging devil infantry squadron suffered a lot of casualties, the devil commander frowned and said.

Soon, a new squadron of devil infantry quickly rushed towards the position of the Eighth Route Army, while the previous squadron of devil infantry successfully withdrew.

The devil commander looked at the withdrawn infantry squadron, his face was a little ugly, he could see that there was not much combat power left in this infantry squadron, at most only one and a half infantry squads still had combat effectiveness. Many of the devil soldiers were unable to successfully withdraw from the battlefield due to their injuries.

On the battlefield, for the wounded soldiers, they who cannot withdraw from the battlefield unless the battle is over, there will only be one result.

The battle continued, and the newly replaced Devil Infantry Squadron was very smart, they did not choose to forcibly rush to the position defended by Battalion Commander Zhang and others, but after finding a certain amount of cover, they hid behind the cover and continued to shoot at Battalion Commander Zhang and others. The shooting level of the devil soldiers is not weak, and it is difficult for Battalion Commander Zhang to have too much advantage in shooting.

On the rear artillery battalion position, Liu Gen put down the binoculars in his hand, and he could see the changes that had taken place after the arrival of this new devil infantry squadron. With the current situation, it is not easy for Battalion Commander Zhang and others to continue to fight like this.

It's just that considering the ammunition consumption of the artillery battalion, it is impossible for Liu Gen to shell the devil all the time, and he also needs to leave a certain amount of shells to deal with the devil's next attack. If the artillery battalion is really used up all at once, then the artillery battalion will not have any combat effectiveness.

Even the fighters of the artillery battalion can fight the devils with guns, but if they can use artillery, why use guns?

Division Commander He handed over the artillery battalion of the 120th Division to Liu Gen completely, which was out of trust in Liu Gen. If he could, Liu Gen naturally hoped that he would be able to bring the artillery battalion back completely, so that they could return to the 120th Division.

Sacrifice in battle was inevitable, and all Liu Gen could do was to reduce the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible.

"Damn it, these devils are crazy." In the position, Battalion Commander Zhang took advantage of the interval between reloading and scolded angrily.

This newly replaced devil infantry squadron chose to shoot at the infantry battalion led by Battalion Commander Zhang, which was somewhat crazy, these devils found some covers, but these bunkers obviously could not be compared with the positions of Battalion Commander Zhang and others. It can be said that it is very unwise for the devil to choose to shoot.

But Battalion Commander Zhang also knew that the devils had the capital to do this, firstly, the shooting level of the devil soldiers was much higher, and secondly, the strength of the devils also surpassed that of Battalion Commander Zhang and others. In the case of the devils, even if they finish this infantry squadron, they will still have enough combat effectiveness.

And what about the infantry battalion led by Battalion Commander Zhang? Obviously, you can't fight hard with the devil.

But what made Battalion Commander Zhang helpless was that he knew that he couldn't fight hard with the devil infantry squadron, but there was no way to change the situation. In battle, even with the support of the artillery battalion, the initiative in battle is still in the hands of the devils. Until the devil commander changes his mind, this kind of battle will go on and on.

Time kept passing in the battle, and the devils were willing to shoot at each other, but Battalion Commander Zhang couldn't change it, so he could only continue to shoot at the devils.

Fortunately, the devils do not have artillery in their hands, which makes the devils not have the idea of a large-scale attack at all until they have a large enough advantage. After all, the artillery fire shown by the artillery battalion is not weak, and the devil commander obviously does not want to test the artillery battalion's artillery fire with the lives of a large number of devil soldiers.

Three hours passed, and the devil infantry squadron that was shooting at each other was replaced, and a new devil squadron was added, so that Battalion Commander Zhang and the others had no choice but to watch all this happen.

In the absence of artillery, the devil decisively gave up the idea of taking the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, but wanted to use continuous shooting and consume the energy of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to win the battle.

In fact, the devils did achieve their goal, the soldiers of the infantry battalion in the position looked tired, and many of the soldiers' hands were a little shaky, and after fighting for so long, the soldiers were able to hold on until now, which was already very powerful. Such a battle made the fighters not even have time to eat and rest.

The devils seemed to be shooting at each other, but as long as they found any opportunity to attack, they would rush forward without hesitation, trying to take down the position defended by Battalion Commander Zhang and others. There were several times when the devils were almost about to rush to the defensive position, and under the decisive shelling of the artillery battalion, the devils were successfully repulsed.

On the artillery battalion position, Liu Gen kept calculating on the ground with a tree branch, and after fighting until now, he knew what he needed to do to delay the devil for more time. The artillery battalion does not carry many shells, and if the battle continues, the artillery battalion will quickly run out of shells.

Without shells, it will be much easier for the devils to rush to the defensive position, and I am afraid that they can only desperately resist the devil's attack when the time comes. Before desperately, Liu Gen felt that he needed to find a way to do something in order to delay the devil for more time.

Judging from the performance of the devil soldiers in the battle, Liu Gen knew that the devil commander on the opposite side should be a veteran, otherwise he would not have behaved so calmly. Changing to a younger devil commander, in this case, they will definitely continue to charge, and then take the position defended by the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time.

Compared with the veteran among the devil commanders, Liu Gen prefers that the devil commander opposite is a young man, so that the battle will not develop to this extent.

Liu Gen could see that the devil commander on the opposite side not only wanted to break through the defense of Liu Gen and others, but also wanted to annihilate Liu Gen and the others. In the case of exposing the existence of the artillery battalion, it is normal for the devil commander to have such thoughts, not to mention that the combat effectiveness exerted by the artillery battalion is not weak.

In order to avoid being annihilated by the devils, Liu Gen needs to break the current situation, and if he wants to break this situation, in Liu Gen's opinion, there is only one way, and that is to kill the commander of the devils! As long as the commander of the devil is killed, then the current situation will definitely be changed.

But it is not so simple to kill the commander of the devil, and until now, Liu Gen has not been able to determine the specific location of the commander of the devil.

The devil commander is very cunning and hides himself very well, especially after the devil artillery is killed, in order to ensure his own safety, the devil commander will not show up easily at all. If you can't find the specific location of the devil commander, then if you want to kill the devil commander, it will naturally become impossible.

"Battalion Commander Wang, the artillery battalion will be handed over to you for the time being, I need to go to the front to take a look." Throwing away the wooden stick in his hand, Liu Gen got up and said.

Battalion Commander Wang was the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, but after Liu Gen took over the artillery battalion, he was responsible for assisting Liu Gen in managing the artillery battalion. Battalion Commander Wang's ability is not weak, and the fact that Division Commander He was able to hand over the artillery battalion to him is enough to show his ability. After Liu Gen took over the artillery battalion, Battalion Commander Wang did not have any complaints, and he has always been very cooperative with Liu Gen's command.

"Liu Gen informed, the front is too dangerous, we are the artillery who killed the devil, but the marksmanship of the devil soldier is not weak."

"Before leaving, the division commander seriously explained to me, don't let you go to the front line easily, and don't let you have any problems. If you really have a problem at the front line, when you go back, the division commander will definitely scold me to death. Camp Commander Wang said with a worried face.

Under the command of Liu Gen, the artillery battalion played a great role, which was not possible for Battalion Commander Wang. Battalion Commander Wang knew very well the importance of Liu Gen to the artillery battalion, not to mention that with the instructions of the division commander, he didn't want Liu Gen to have any problems.

"Don't worry, with Camp Commander Zhang here, I won't have any problems."

"Battalion Commander Wang, you should be able to see the current situation, continue to fight, we are very likely to be annihilated by the devils."

"This fight can't continue, we need to make changes! I went to the front line just to find an opportunity to change, and if Commander He handed you over to me, I have the responsibility to bring you all back! ”

“……”

In the end, Battalion Commander Wang still couldn't dispel Liu Gen's idea of going to the front line to observe, he knew that what Liu Gen said was right, as the battle continued, the casualties were increasing, and the casualties of the infantry battalion were also quite a few. If it continues, the casualties of the infantry battalion will definitely reach an unbearable level, and when the devils launch a general attack, it will become impossible to retreat.

The only thing Battalion Commander Wang could do was to let the two fighters follow Liu Gen, hoping that these two soldiers could protect Liu Gen's safety.

After leaving the position of the artillery battalion, Liu Gen successfully came to the defensive position of the front-line infantry battalion, and walked through the trench with his body low. At the same time, Liu Gen could see that many of the wounded fighters did not choose to withdraw from their positions, and they had no way to continue fighting, so they helped other fighters to reload ammunition or carry supplies.

Liu Gen looked at the soldiers in the position, and his already serious expression had already become more serious. Even for the sake of these fighters, Liu Gen wants to kill the commander of the devil, and then change the current battle situation.

"Get down"

Suddenly, a soldier who was following Liu Gen suddenly pressed Liu Gen under him, and the next moment, a bullet slammed into the soldier's body, making the soldier can't help but let out a painful snort.

Liu Gen reacted, quickly got up and hugged the warrior in his arms, stretched out his hand and pressed the warrior's wound hard, but the blood still couldn't stop!

"Bandages! Give me a bandage! Liu Gen shouted loudly.

The comrades around him hurriedly sent the bandage to Liu Gen, who took the bandage and quickly bandaged the wounded soldier. It's just that the bandage that was just tied was dyed red in less than a minute, and this bullet was so deadly that Liu Gen couldn't help the wounded fighter stop the bleeding.

"Medic! Military! What about military doctors? Liu Gen looked around, trying to find the doctor who was with him.

Many soldiers looked towards Liu Gen and saw the warrior who was held in Liu Gen's arms, but because of the battle, they quickly threw themselves into the battle again.

"Medic! Call the medic here! Liu Gen shouted loudly.

The next moment, a soldier took advantage of the interval between reloads, turned his head and said to Liu Gen: "The military doctor has died a long time ago, and we have no other military doctors." ”

Suddenly, Liu Gen was stunned, he looked towards the warrior who opened his mouth, and could see that the soldier's arm had been simply bandaged, and he could see that the bandaging was not standard, and he thought that it should have been bandaged by himself. Liu Gen looked at the other wounded fighters, and only then did he notice that their wound treatment was not very standard.

Liu Gen didn't take this into account before, he saw that the treatment of the soldiers' wounds was not very standard, but he thought that the wounded were too far away and the military doctors were too busy. But now, Liu Gen understood, he understood why this was happening, and he understood why the wounded fighters were left on the position.

"Let's go! Let's move on a little further! After a moment of silence, Liu Gen put down the soldier he was holding in his arms, without a military doctor, there was no way to treat this soldier, but to see if the soldier could hold on to himself.

Liu Gen wanted to stay with the warrior, but he knew he couldn't do so, he needed to move on, and he needed to find the specific location of the devil commander. There were already fighters who had died for him, Liu Gen didn't want more fighters to die, he couldn't afford to waste a little more time.

Continue to walk forward quickly, this time Liu Gen's body bent lower, the devil soldiers are not stupid, once they find the opportunity to shoot, then they need to pay with their lives.

When he came to the front line of the infantry battalion battle, Liu Gen didn't have time to rest, he directly took out the telescope and looked behind the devil, the telescope was not raised high, and it was relatively hidden. Liu Gen glanced at the devils in the rear, quickly remembering the location of these devil soldiers in his mind, and calculating in his heart where the devil commander might be.

The sunlight sprinkled down, so that the telescope in Liu Gen's hand reflected a bright light, Liu Gen's face changed greatly, he quickly lowered his head, and the next moment a bullet hit the telescope in Liu Gen's hand. The bullet quickly pierced the telescope and passed over Liu Gen's head, and Liu Gen could almost feel the heat on the bullet.

Liu Gen took a deep breath, his heart was beating wildly, and he almost died.
