The devil's attack was very ferocious, and in the face of the devil's attack, the units of the 386 Brigade could only grit their teeth and block the attack, and sent small units to constantly attack and harass the devils.

Liu Gen did not pay attention to the battle on the front line, he knew that with the combat effectiveness of the various regiments of the 386 Brigade, it was enough to delay the progress of the devils. The most important thing now is to find a suitable artillery position, and only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the artillery team be brought into full play when launching an attack on the devils. It is not the character of the 386 Brigade to be beaten all the time, Liu Gen believes that it will not be long before the brigade commander will gather the strength of all units of the 386 Brigade and be ruthless against the devils.

In addition, the first column of the decisive death that is about to arrive, and the county brigade and district squads that are constantly rushing in this direction, really want to take the initiative to attack the devils, as long as they find the right opportunity, they may not be able to let the devils suffer a big loss!

After finding a few suitable artillery positions, Liu Gen led the artillery soldiers into action, these places are good, but the artillery team still needs to be transformed to a certain extent before it can become a suitable artillery position. At least a qualified artillery position needs to be able to allow the artillery team to move quickly. As in the independent regiment, Liu Gen divided the artillery into two units, and the mountain artillery had a long range and could be completely arranged in the rear, so that it would be easier to carry out the transfer. Mortars and infantry artillery were placed close to the front line by Liu Gen to ensure that they were ready to support the front line at any time.

In order to prevent the artillery position from being discovered by devils, Liu Gen also took the soldiers to cut down a lot of branches, which played a certain hidden role in the artillery position. At the same time, Liu Gen was also constantly observing the devils who were constantly attacking, and from the mouths of other soldiers, Liu Gen also roughly knew where the devil's artillery was. It's just that it can be seen that the devil's artillery is very cunning, they didn't shoot with all their strength, only part of the artillery.

In several battles, the devil artillery was killed by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, which made the devils also vigilant, and they didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

After knowing this, Liu Gen realized that the battle with the devil was probably not so easy to fight, and the devil's artillery was hiding its strength to ensure that after being attacked, it would be able to launch a counterattack in the first time. And the artillery exposed by the devil, if you want to kill it directly, you need more than five mortars to fire, if there are too few, it is difficult to pose a threat to the devil artillery.

After realizing this, Liu Gen led the artillery soldiers to act again, and they dug cat's ear holes in the artillery position to ensure that the soldiers could have a place to hide in the event of an artillery battle with the devils. It's just that Liu Gen and others couldn't find steel to support the cat's ear hole, so they could only use simple wooden planks, which meant that the cat's ear hole was shelled by devils and was in danger of collapsing.

But even so, Liu Gen can only choose to do this, this can at least allow the soldiers to have a place to hide, as long as they are not directly hit by the devil's shells, then the soldiers hiding in the cat's ear hole still have a great chance of surviving.

The mountain artillery position located in the rear, under Liu Gen's orders, also dug out the cat's ear hole, and they were ready for an artillery battle with the devils. When digging the cat's ear hole, the soldiers of the artillery team were extremely serious, and they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. As artillerymen, the soldiers know the dangers of artillery battles with devils, and cat ear piercings are about whether they can survive the artillery battles.

As for whether to give up the idea of artillery battles with devils, the artillery soldiers have not thought about it this way, after training for so long, the soldiers of the artillery team also want to prove themselves and prove that the artillery team has enough combat effectiveness, even in the face of the devil's artillery, the artillery team also has the power to fight! Of course, whether or not to engage in an artillery battle with the devil still depends on the decision of the brigade commander.

After arranging the artillery position, Liu Gen led the soldiers to study the possible hiding location of the devil artillery, and he needed to make certain preparations in advance. Liu Gen did not directly state his speculation, he only said his speculation after the fighters discussed. The fighters did a good job, guessing several locations that were the same as Liu Gen's, but there was one location that they hadn't expected.

"Captain, it shouldn't be possible for the devil to hide there, right? The last place you mentioned is less than 500 meters from the front line, and the devil artillery is in this position, it's too risky, right? Yungui looked at Liu Gen and asked with some puzzlement.

Liu Gen looked at the other soldiers of the artillery team, and could see that the other soldiers also had obvious suspicion in their eyes, they didn't believe that the devil artillery would be in that position. With the combat effectiveness of the devil's artillery, there is no need to take risks at all, and once the devil's artillery is in that position, then as long as the 386 brigade units take the initiative to attack and advance five hundred meters, then the devil's artillery can be seen, such a risk is too great,

"Do you all think so?" Looking at the soldiers of the artillery team, Liu Gen asked.

The soldiers of the artillery team, you look at you, I look at me, they are all silent, this is almost their common idea, the artillery of the devil is not a fool, how can the artillery position be arranged in that position?

Among the soldiers, Zhang Jun raised his head, was silent for a moment, he took a step and said loudly: "I think what you said is very right, captain, the devil artillery is very likely to be in this position, and even said that the devil artillery has a seventy percent chance of being there." ”

"You know what?"

"That's it, Zhang Jun, don't talk nonsense."

“……”

Seeing Zhang Jun speak, the other soldiers of the artillery team couldn't help but speak, in their opinion, Zhang Jun said this, completely because he wanted to please Liu Gen, the captain. For Zhang Jun, the soldiers of the artillery team do not have much good feelings, even if Zhang Jun has changed to a certain extent during this time, it will undoubtedly take longer for the soldiers to accept Zhang Jun again.

"Quiet! That's how you treat your teammates? Isn't Zhang Jun a member of our artillery team? Liu Gen's cold gaze swept over the soldiers, making the soldiers all look stunned, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

Liu Gen turned his head to look at Zhang Jun and said, "Zhang Jun, tell me what you think, why the devil artillery is in that position." ”

The soldiers looked at Zhang Jun again, and were reprimanded by Liu Gen, and naturally they didn't dare to say anything. The soldiers looked at Zhang Jun, they wanted to see what Zhang Jun could say, but a small number of soldiers lowered their heads and began to think about why the devil would set up the artillery position in that position. If Liu Gen's speculation is successful and the devil artillery is really in that position, then it can only show that this position can bring more advantages to the devil, and can allow the devil artillery to regain its combat effectiveness.

"Captain, I didn't expect this position, but after you pointed it out, I understood."

"Let's see, the position pointed out by the captain is only about five hundred meters away from the front line, and the terrain here is suitable for the hiding of the devil's artillery position. And the most important thing is that once the devil artillery position is set up in this position, then the artillery fire of the devil artillery can cover the surrounding area, and it can easily hit the rear of our Eighth Route Army and cut off our retreat road. ”

"The devils have great ambitions, they not only want to advance towards the base area, but also want to keep our 386 Brigade here!"
