After resting for half an hour, Liu Gen set off again with the soldiers, and this time Liu Gen asked the soldiers to slow down.

The speed has decreased, and the state of the fighters has recovered a lot, but the time they can continue to move forward has increased a lot. In this way, it seems that it is quite good to advance at such a speed, the soldiers want to speed up the speed, but they are stopped by Liu Gen, what he needs is to let the soldiers retain enough physical strength to ensure that they can be put into battle after arriving in Laiyuan Town.

Now let the warriors speed up their progress and squeeze the physical strength of the warriors, then it is easy to cause the warriors to not have enough physical strength to fight after arriving in Laiyuan Town, which is not good.

When Liu Gen arrived in Laiyuan Town with the soldiers, he could see Zhang Dabiao leading people waiting for him, and he could see the smile on Zhang Dabiao's face, which made him understand that there should not be many devils in Laiyuan Town. After saying hello to Zhang Dabiao, Liu Gen took the telescope from Zhang Dabiao's hand and looked towards Laiyuan Town below.

After a closer look, Liu Gen found that it was probably not so simple to take down Laiyuan Town, he could see that the devils had set up a turret on the periphery of Laiyuan Town, and arranged more than one heavy machine gun to ensure the safety of Laiyuan Town. For the devil, Laiyuan Town has a very important strategic value, who made Laiyuan Town the throat road to Changzhi in the Jinzhong region?

A large number of mountains and hills separate the Jinzhong region from the Changzhi region, which also makes the strategic position of Laiyuan Town more important, and the supplies and baggage of the devils need to pass through here to ensure the connection and transportation of the two regions. It is precisely because of this that there will be a squadron of devils stationed here in Laiyuan Town, and with the cooperation of some puppet troops, it is quite difficult for the Eighth Route Army to take down Yuanzhen.

Once Laiyuan Town is attacked, the surrounding devils will quickly support it, and with the reaction speed of the devils, the Eighth Route Army simply does not have enough time to attack Laiyuan Town.

Now it was different, most of the strength of the Nakamura squadron was transferred, and there was only one squad of devils left, less than fifty people. With the number of these devils and puppet troops, it is still possible to defend Laiyuan Town, not to mention that there are several heavy machine guns and turrets in Laiyuan Town to defend, with the combat effectiveness of devils, ordinary Eighth Route troops want to take down Yuanzhen, and it is impossible to do it in a short time.

In order to ensure the safety of Laiyuan Town, the devil did a little frantic in defense, just on the periphery, Liu Gen saw four heavy machine guns, and he didn't know if there were still heavy machine guns in Laiyuan Town. As for the mortar, Liu Gen didn't know if it existed in Laiyuan Town, but Zhang Dabiao had probed Yuanzhen in advance and determined that there were no mortars in Laiyuan Town.

According to Zhang Dabiao's investigation, due to the importance of Laiyuan Town, the Nakamura Squadron was equipped with two Type 92 infantry guns, but this time the Nanguan Railway Station was attacked, so that the squadron leader of the Nakamura Squadron took away the two Type 92 infantry guns, which made Laiyuan Town have no artillery to defend.

"It seems that Brother Zhang has figured out the situation in Laiyuan Town, and I don't know when Brother Zhang is going to attack?" Looking at Zhang Dabiao, Liu Gen asked.

It was early in the morning, and through the binoculars, Liu Gen could see that the devils had been on alert, and even the puppet army had arrived at their respective defensive positions. Now there is a certain risk in doing something to the devil, and the devil's defense is so tight, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to forcibly take it down.

"The devil's Nakamura squadron may return at any time, so naturally the sooner you attack, the better!" Zhang Dabiao said in a deep voice.

Liu Gen nodded, he knew that Zhang Dabiao would make such a decision, looking at the surrounding soldiers, he could see the firmness on the faces of the soldiers, and the soldiers were also ready to attack the distant town!

"Then get ready to move forward! The soldiers of the artillery company are also under your command, and I will be left with a few soldiers to assist. Liu Gen said softly.

Zhang Dabiao didn't have any opinions, he didn't think that the soldiers of the artillery company could have strong combat effectiveness, but Zhang Dabiao knew that if he wanted to take down Yuanzhen, it would inevitably be a bitter battle! The devil is not a fool, but he will not stand there and let Liu Gen shoot himself! Besides, once the devil retreats into Laiyuan Town, then Liu Gen's artillery will not have much room to play.

Watching Zhang Dabiao take the soldiers down the mountain and head towards Laiyuan Town, Liu Gen also led a few soldiers to push the Type 92 infantry gun to find a suitable artillery position. In the face of the devils in Laiyuan Town, Liu Gen needs an artillery position with a wide enough field of vision to ensure that he can see the devil's every move, and then open artillery to sweep away the devil's defensive position.

His eyes fell on the devil's turret, Liu Gen frowned, the Type 92 infantry gun in his hand did not have much to do against the devil's turret, unless it could approach the range of five hundred meters of the turret. But it's not nighttime, and if you want to get close to the range of 500 meters of the devil's turret, you're undoubtedly dreaming, and the devil is not a fool!

Liu Gen sighed lightly, he knew that to take down the devil's turret, he could only rely on Zhang Dabiao to lead the soldiers to seize it, and his artillery would not play a big role.

Found a dirt slope less than a kilometer away from Laiyuan Town, standing on the dirt slope, Liu Gen could see the situation in Laiyuan Town.

Several fighters brought in not a lot of high-explosive bombs, less than 20 high-explosive bombs, and these high-explosive bombs were obtained by Li Yunlong from the brigade commander. After leaving the two soldiers to assist him, Liu Gen asked the two soldiers to go to the guard to avoid any devils touching him. As an artilleryman, Liu Gen didn't want to touch the artillery position when he opened fire.

Looking towards the location of Zhang Dabiao and the others, Liu Gen could see that Zhang Dabiao was approaching the devil's turret with the soldiers, and if he wanted to take down Yuanzhen, he had to deal with the devil's turret. His eyes fell on the heavy machine gun position not far from the devil's turret, Liu Gen calculated the corresponding shooting angle, he needed to solve this heavy machine gun position to reduce the pressure on Zhang Dabiao and the others.

The explosive bags carried by several soldiers were taken down, and Liu Gen looked helpless, if the power of the Type 92 infantry cannon was strong enough, then there was no need for the soldiers to use the explosive bag to attack the devil's turret. As for hitting the shooting hole of the devil's turret within a thousand meters, Liu Gen didn't have that ability, he was sure that if the devil found his traces, then he would definitely come to deal with him decisively.

Keeping a sufficient distance from the front line can ensure that Liu Gen's artillery can play a sufficient role and avoid Liu Gen from being in danger, Zhang Dabiao also knew this, so he didn't think about letting Liu Gen advance with the infantry cannon to a range of less than 500 meters from the devil's artillery tower.

"Cannonballs!" Seeing that Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers were ready for battle, Liu Gen said in a deep voice,

A high-explosive bomb was put into Liu Gen's hand, and was directly pushed into the cannon chamber by Liu Gen, and three seconds later, the high-explosive bomb fell on the heavy machine gun position of the devil, directly killing several devils in the heavy machine gun position, and the heavy machine gun was also directly destroyed!
