Chapter 555: Shilou County's Problem

Ahead, the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions suddenly sounded, and Liu Gen and the soldiers stopped.

Liu Gen believed that Captain Yao would not have much of a problem with their ambush of the devils, but in order to ensure the safety of himself and the soldiers, he still needed to stop. Avoid surprises.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers of the cavalry detachment came back and told Liu Gen and the others to continue advancing, and the devil infantry squad was successfully killed by Captain Yao and the soldiers of the cavalry detachment. Hundreds of grenades exploded together in the devil's infantry squad, even if the grenades in the hands of the fighters could not be compared to the devil's sweet potato grenades, it was enough to kill the devils of an infantry squad.

When Liu Gen and the soldiers converged with Captain Yao, they could see that the comrades present were a little excited, and it was beyond the expectations of everyone present to be able to kill a devil infantry squad so easily.

Only the expressions of Captain Yao and Liu Gen were still calm, they knew that this time they had easily killed a devil infantry squad, but in order to kill this infantry squad, the cavalry detachment also paid nearly three hundred grenades as a price. And the cost of 300 grenades is not cheap, of course, in general, it is still profitable to kill a devil infantry squad with 300 grenades, but it is not much.

"Keep going!" Finding that Liu Gen and others were coming, Captain Yao gave the order to continue advancing.

The devils of an infantry squad, being able to kill these devils, do not reflect the combat effectiveness of the cavalry detachment, ambush the devils, and use a large number of grenades, this is not the way the cavalry detachment fights. When the cavalry detachment can ride its horses and whip up its horses and cut off the heads of a large number of devils with the sabers in its hands, then it will be qualified to be excited and proud.

The devil infantry squad failed to stop Liu Gen and others, and at nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Gen and others successfully arrived in Shilou County. Here, Liu Gen and others met with the soldiers of the divisional special service regiment, the 120th Division shouldered the important task of defending Yan'an, and many troops could not be mobilized.

For this reason, Division Commander He chose to transfer the special task force responsible for the defense of the 120th Division's division headquarters to attack Shilou County, which was occupied by the devils.

Shilou County is not too far from the headquarters of the 120th Division, and once the division headquarters encounters danger, then the special mission of the division headquarters can also return to the rescue in the shortest possible time. The chances of the devils attacking the headquarters of the 120th Division are still relatively small, and I believe that they will not have the energy to attack the headquarters of the 120th Division in the face of the work of the units of the 120th Division.

What's more, after the 120th Division achieved its operational objectives tonight, the operational front line also meant that there was a lot of advancement, and the devil's desire to threaten the headquarters of the 120th Division was very high, and the troops of the 120th Division in the occupied counties had a great chance of discovering it.

According to the battle plan formulated by Division Commander He, in the next time, the devils will be exhausted, and they will not be able to allocate too many troops to attack the 120th Division, or attack Yan'an.

In the situation of the Pacific War, the bosses of Yan'an and the headquarters knew very well that in the Pacific War, the devils did not have much advantage. The Pacific War, the confrontation between Japan and the United States, made it very difficult for Japan to be dragged directly into the quagmire of war, and it would be very difficult to break free from it.

In particular, on 18 April, Japanese General Isoroku Yamamoto was killed by the US troops, which meant that the Japanese army had fallen into a disadvantage in the Pacific War, and if it wanted to successfully defeat the United States, it undoubtedly needed to invest more troops. On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army has too many troops, and it is inevitable that some of its troops will be withdrawn and left.

After the Pacific War fell into a disadvantage, the Japanese army will inevitably change its combat strategy on the Chinese battlefield, and it is something that the Japanese army cannot do in a short period of time if it wants to win the Chinese war in a short time. According to the speculation of the bosses, the devils will inevitably focus on consolidating the areas they have occupied, and as for carrying out a large-scale attack, it is simply impossible.

It is precisely because of this that the battle plan formulated by Commander He will be agreed, and the bosses also want to test the reality of the devil through this battle. If the devil's counterattack is not so strong, then the other troops of the Eighth Route Army can also move, and they don't have to be so low-key all the time.

"Captain Yu, how is the current situation in Shilou County?" Coming to the front-line command post of the divisional special service regiment, Liu Gen successfully met with Commander Yu.

Liu Gen could see that Regiment Commander Yu's face was a little solemn, it seems that the attack of the division headquarters special service group on Shilou County was not very smooth, could it be that the strength of the devils in Shilou County has changed? Or is there something else going on?

"Comrade Liu Gen, the offensive of our division headquarters teaching regiment is not very smooth, after the devils discovered our troops, they immediately chose to retreat to the center of Shilou County, and used a large number of civilians as hostages, forcing the comrades of our special service regiment to not continue the attack."

"The devils in Shilou County are very stubborn, as long as we show the slightest idea of attacking, then they will directly aim their weapons at the civilians in their hands."

“……”

Liu Gen frowned, his face was a little ugly, he didn't expect that the devil would use such means to resist the attack of the soldiers of the secret service group. Whether or not to attack now has become a difficult problem that plagues the divisional special service group, once the attack is launched, then the devils will inevitably massacre civilians on a large scale, and the sacrifice will be too great.

"Did you report to the division commander? What did the division commander say? Liu Gen asked.

Regiment Commander Yu nodded, and said a little helplessly: "The division commander asked me to wait patiently, don't worry." ”

Liu Gen was a little confused, this shouldn't be what Master He said, right, he still knows something about Master He, when he encounters this kind of thing, Master He will definitely want to solve it in the shortest possible time, how can he let Head Yu wait patiently? Liu Gen looked at the small city tower not far away, where the devils and puppet soldiers of Shilou County were concentrated, as well as the civilians who were tied up.

"I don't have any good solutions, unless a small army can sneak up on it, and the inside and outside should be combined to kill these devils and puppet army." After Liu Gen thought about it carefully, he didn't think of any too good way.

Suddenly, obvious joy appeared on Liu Gen's face, he seemed to have guessed the division commander's thoughts, could it be that the soldiers of the special operations team of the division headquarters had already entered Shilou County? Liu Gen raised his head and looked seriously towards the city tower, but at night, even if he stared wide, he couldn't see clearly what was going on above.

"Commander Yu, let's get ready, maybe it won't be too long before we attack." Liu Gen opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

Commander Yu was a little puzzled and didn't understand why Liu Gen said this, but he still nodded and ordered the soldiers to quietly wipe towards the city tower where the devil was, under the cover of night, it was difficult for the devil to launch a secret group soldier who was quietly approaching.
