Chapter 471: The devil draws his troops back to defense
"Hit!"
After the devil team entered the encirclement of Liu Gen and others unprepared, Liu Gen directly shot and launched an attack order.
The two Colt pistols were in Liu Gen's hands, as if they had become automatic rifles, and in less than thirty seconds, he had exhausted all the magazines of the two pistols, and each bullet could successfully take the life of a devil. In addition, the other fighters have submachine guns in their hands, and they have good marksmanship, so they are naturally handy to deal with the unsuspecting devil squad.
"Rush forward! Kill these little devils! Leave a few alive! Seeing that most of the devils were killed in an instant, Liu Gen took the initiative to charge with the soldiers.
The monk dropped the light machine gun in his arms, pulled out the big knife he was carrying behind his back and rushed towards the devil, and the other soldiers also rushed up quickly, forcibly starting a white-knuckle battle with the devil. There is no way to choose to engage in white-knuckle combat with devils, Liu Gen and the others do not carry much ammunition, even if they can successfully annihilate this devil team, they will consume a lot of bullets.
In order to save ammunition as much as possible, and then be able to wait for the next order from the division headquarters, it is still very necessary to choose to kill the remaining devils in a white-knuckle battle.
"Shoot or kill! Throw down your weapons! After slashing the devil to death with a knife, Liu Gen shouted loudly in his somewhat jerky Japanese.
The rest of the devils hesitated a little, the firepower of Liu Gen and the others was too strong, and more than thirty submachine guns attacked at close range, and the firepower was naturally not something that this devil team could resist. It can be said that after being attacked by Liu Gen and others, the devils of this devil team were a little confused, and they didn't understand what was going on.
For these devils, they can only see the other people around them keep falling, and the bullets can easily take the lives of most of the little devils.
Most of these remaining little devils were frightened, and in the face of Liu Gen and others who rushed up to start a white-knuckle battle with them, they didn't have any power to resist, and after seeing more and more soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushing up and wanting to kill them here, the remaining devils began to waver. The white-edged battle continued, and less than two minutes after the white-knuckle battle began, there were less than ten little devils left!
"Shoot or kill! I guarantee your safety! Liu Gen looked at the remaining devil soldiers and shouted loudly again.
This time, the remaining devil soldiers no longer hesitated, they looked at the surrounding Eighth Route Army soldiers, and they could see that the eyes of these Eighth Route Army soldiers were blood-red, like devouring beasts, and they immediately frightened these devil soldiers. Some devil soldiers trembled and threw out the weapons in their hands and raised their hands, and when the other devil soldiers saw this scene, they also quickly threw away their weapons and stopped making worthless sacrifices.
These devil soldiers know very well that even if they continue to fight, it will be difficult to take the life of any Eighth Route Army soldier, especially since these Eighth Route Army soldiers are very strong, and among them, there are no weak people at all.
"Excellent! Monk! Check the weapons on them! If there is any abnormal movement, kill them directly! Liu Gen instructed the monk beside him.
The monk nodded, he restrained the killing intent in his eyes, if it wasn't for Liu Gen's order, then he would definitely kill all these devils! Among Liu Gen and the others, I'm afraid that any one of them would want to do this, but they knew that it would definitely be useful for Liu Gen to choose to capture these little devils, otherwise Liu Gen would not have wasted time doing this.
"Stay where you are, don't make any moves, and I'll order someone to inspect you and make sure you don't have any weapons or equipment on you! Don't make any moves, or he'll kill you outright!" "Liu Gen's Japanese is not so jerky, and there is such a thing as language, which still needs to be said more.
The devil soldiers were a little silent, they could see that many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were secretly aiming, as long as they had any abnormal movements, they would definitely be killed at the first time. The ghost soldiers who know this are very smart, and in the face of the monks who inspect them, these ghost soldiers don't have any small movements, and they are all very cooperative.
And the monk also brought these devil soldiers to Liu Gen after carefully inspecting them a few times, and he also wanted to know what Liu Gen could ask from these devil soldiers.
"Monk, you continue to take your comrades to guard and avoid other devil troops coming." Liu Gen instructed the monk again.
The monk nodded, and left directly with the soldiers, in the battle with this devil squad just now, except for a few soldiers who were accidentally injured, none of the other fighters were injured, let alone sacrificed. If such a record is reported, then it is more or less a credit, but Liu Gen and others have no interest in such a merit.
Liu Gen came to these ghost soldiers and asked seriously, his Japanese accent was a little jerky, but he was still able to understand the words of these ghost soldiers, and he could make these ghost soldiers understand what he meant.
Half an hour later, after confirming that he could no longer ask something from these devil soldiers, Liu Gen handed over these devil soldiers to the other soldiers to take care of, and in order to prevent these devil soldiers from making any noise, the soldiers directly tied them up and gagged their mouths at the same time. During this period, none of these devil soldiers chose to resist, which made the soldiers feel a little regretful, and it seemed that they had no chance to kill a few.
After questioning these devil soldiers, Liu Gen's face became more and more solemn, and from the mouths of these devil soldiers, he learned that the devils had intercepted the telegram of the Eighth Route Army again, and learned the news of the disappearance of Zuo Quan's deputy chief of general staff. This small army of devils chose to come to search on the Cross Ridge because they received relevant orders and needed to come to check.
The devil's troops are in contact with each other every three hours, and this devil squad is no different. But now the leader of the devil squad was directly killed by Liu Gen and others in the battle, and the next time the devil team contacts this devil team, they will definitely find some abnormalities, and at that time, the devil will definitely send troops to check the specific situation of Cross Ridge.
In other words, after three hours, the situation of Liu Gen and the others will be quite dangerous, to be precise, the remaining time is less than two hours.
It's just that even if Liu Gen knew this clearly, he didn't have the slightest idea of evacuating, and he wouldn't easily leave with the soldiers before receiving the order from the division headquarters. Of course, Liu Gen also hoped that the division headquarters could give them the next order as soon as possible, otherwise if they really had to stick to this area all the time, casualties would definitely be inevitable.
In order to allow the soldiers to be well prepared, Liu Gen informed the monk and others of the news that there was a high probability that the devil army would come in two hours, and after learning such news, the monk and the others were in a heavy mood. Don't look at it this time, it is very easy for Liu Gen and others to completely annihilate a devil infantry team, but this is based on the condition that the devil team is defenseless, if the devil team is really guarded, then it is not so simple for Liu Gen and others to easily take them down.
Time kept passing, and until late at night, there was no news from the division headquarters, and I don't know why the devil troops never came.
Liu Gen didn't know that the devil troops didn't come, but if they didn't come, they could be more relaxed. Just to prevent the devils from confusing him, Liu Gen still asked the monk to take the soldiers to explore the farther range, wanting to determine whether there were really no devil troops coming to the direction of Cross Ridge. It wasn't until the monk and the soldiers all explored and failed to discover the existence of the devil army that he was really relieved.
"It's very likely that the devil has encountered something tricky, otherwise there would be no reaction at all." Liu Gen said to the monk.
As far as the devils are concerned, they will not have time to contact the infantry squad in the direction of Cross Ridge unless they have something more urgent to do.
The devil army did not come, but Liu Gen still kept the soldiers vigilant enough, in order to prevent the soldiers from being too tired, he could only work the soldiers in three shifts to ensure that everyone was in good enough condition.
At this time, Liu Gen and others did not know that in the direction of Changzhi, the troops of the 129th Division attacked the Changzhi Airport of the devils, and because the troops of the 129th Division attacked too suddenly, the devils did not have enough defense, so that the troops of the 129th Division who attacked the Changzhi Airport successfully blew up the Changzhi Airport of the devils. At the same time, all the lines of communication in the direction of Changzhi were frantically attacked by the units of the 129th Division.
In less than a few hours, all the communication lines of the devils in the Changzhi area were paralyzed, and the sudden attack made Iwamatsu Yoshio, the commander of the devil's First Army, hurriedly order the devil troops that were sweeping in the anti-Japanese base area to be transferred back to ensure the safety of the Changzhi direction.
The attack carried out by the troops of the Eighth Route Army also made Iwamatsu Yoshio realize that each area needs to have enough troops to defend, otherwise the attack that occurred in Changzhi will also appear in other areas. In this case, even if Iwamatsu Yoshio did not want to transfer troops to sweep in the anti-Japanese base areas, he had to do so at this time, and it was okay to sweep the troops of the Eighth Route Army, but it was necessary to ensure the stability of the occupied areas.
The lines of communication were destroyed, the airfield was bombed, and if this happened a few more times, then Iwamatsu Yoshio, the commander of the First Army, probably would not be able to serve for a few days.
With the deployment of the troops swept by the devils in the anti-Japanese base areas, the transferred units of the Eighth Route Army also turned back to Liao County, and the sweep of the devils was very harsh, but in any case, the Eighth Route Army would not easily give up the base areas opened up. What's more, the Eighth Route Army has been in Liao County for a long time, and unless the devils put a large number of troops into the Liao County area, the Eighth Route Army will not give up the anti-Japanese base area of Liao County.
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, after receiving the news of the withdrawal of the Devil's sweeping troops, the bosses immediately made a decision to return to the Matian area of Liao County.
It was only after the bosses made their decision that the radio station at the headquarters was turned on again, and soon the headquarters received a telegram from the 129th Division. When the correspondent sent the telegram to the bosses, the bosses' mood was extremely heavy, and when they had not received the news from Zuo Quan's deputy chief of general staff, the bosses had a bad premonition.
But now, when they really learned the news, the CEOs were still a little unacceptable.
"Order Liu Gen and the others to stick to the Cross Ridge area, and when they encounter a small army of devils, they will be annihilated directly with all their might! Avoid message leaks! ”
"In addition, order the main force of the 129th Division to march in the direction of Cross Ridge and be ready to fight the devil sweeping troops! In any case, we are going to get back to Cross Ridge as fast as we can and see our old brothers again. Mr. Peng said with a heavy expression.
When Liu Gen and the others received the telegram from the headquarters, it was already early in the morning, and after learning the order from the headquarters, they didn't have much thought.
The main force of the 129th Division is coming in the direction of Liao County, and if it goes well, it should be able to return to Liao County smoothly in less than three days and come to the Cross Ridge. Of course, this is the marching speed of the combat troops, and if you add some agency personnel, then the speed will be reduced a lot. However, Liu Gen believed that with the vision of the bosses, some combat troops would inevitably be the first to return to Liao County.
Considering the combat troops of the 129th Division, Liu Gen couldn't help but think of the Independent Regiment, and with the position of the Independent Regiment, it should be the main force of the 129th Division to return to Liao County first. With the position of the independent regiment, it shouldn't take too long to come to Cross Ridge, I hope that in the next few days, the devil will not notice the abnormality of Cross Ridge.
Knowing that the main force was returning to Liao County, Liu Gen could clearly see the changes in the soldiers, and everyone was relieved. When the main force returns to Liao County, then the pressure they need to bear will not be so great, and they can rest assured that the Cross Ridge area will be handed over to the main force to defend.
The soldiers are very aware of their own situation, even if they have the submachine guns captured from the devils in their hands and have sufficient firepower, they will not have too many opportunities to play in the face of the devil's army. The submachine gun in his hand is good, but he can only be caught off guard by the devil once, and it will be much more difficult to achieve more results.
At the end of the whole day's vigilance, the soldiers did not find too many anomalies, and no devil troops came to the Cross Ridge area, but Liu Gen did not think that the devils would ignore the Cross Ridge area. The Devil's transfer of troops is due to problems with the rear lines of communication, and a certain amount of troops is needed to maintain stability, but when the Devil comes to his senses, he will definitely notice the Cross Ridge area.
At noon the next day, Liu Gen and the others could see the devil's reconnaissance plane flying over the Cross Ridge, and the reconnaissance plane flew at a very low altitude, observing the situation in the Cross Ridge in detail, and even more so focusing on the location of the devil's infantry squad before. After not finding anything abnormal, the devil reconnaissance plane left quickly, but at this time, Liu Gen and the others realized that the devil army was coming.
Sure enough, as Liu Gen and others expected, at three o'clock in the afternoon, a ghost infantry squad arrived, and they did not directly enter the cross ridge, but built a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain, waiting for more troops to come.
After the monk and others found out that a devil infantry squad was coming, Liu Gen went to observe it, and he could see that this devil team was very cautious, especially in the construction of the temporary camp, and attached great importance to the defense of the camp. The camp built with devils, unless Liu Gen and others have several mortars in their hands, it is possible to take this camp in a short time.
And Liu Gen didn't have the slightest idea of attacking this devil's camp, and it was not advisable for the devil to be on guard and attack rashly.
