For the whole night, Liu Gen and the others were on the road, and the revenge launched by the devil was very crazy.

Judging from the battle between the front-line Eighth Route Army troops and the devils, the devils' movements were very fast, and the marching speed was not greatly affected. In order to be able to reach the Chenjiayu area in the shortest possible time, when the devil responds to the resistance of the Eighth Route Army, he will decisively divide a part of his forces to deal with it, and the rest of the troops will continue to advance rapidly.

In this regard, there is no good way for the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the devil chooses to divide the troops because the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Eighth Route Army is limited, even if they divide the troops, the remaining troops can hold on for enough time. These devils who stayed behind to deal with the Eighth Route Army's troops would not pose much threat to them if they really stuck to their positions and did not have enough heavy firepower.

Fortunately, there are enough troops of the Eighth Route Army on the front line, which can delay the devil for enough time, otherwise with the speed of the devil's march, I am afraid that he would have been able to reach the Chenjiayu area long ago. At that time, it will be impossible for Liu Gen and others to easily complete the transfer, and it is nothing that the devil agents fail in many battles, but the destruction of the battlefield observation group makes the devil have to retaliate against the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

When the news that the battlefield observation group was completely annihilated by the troops of the Eighth Route Army reached the headquarters of the North China Front, the commander Okamura Ninji immediately issued an order to the First Army stationed in Shanxi, ordering them to launch a retaliatory action against the base area of the Eighth Route Army and avenge the battlefield observation group that was killed!

The commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, attached great importance to this, and he knew that he needed to give an explanation to the headquarters of the North China Front, and only in this way could the shame of the First Army be washed away. The fact that the battlefield observation group had problems after coming to the First Army, and that they were killed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army undoubtedly showed that the First Army's protection of the battlefield observation group was not strong enough.

Otherwise, with the strength of the First Army, how could it not be able to protect the Battlefield Observation Regiment?

It happened to the First Army, how could Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army, continue to be relaxed? In Taiyuan, Shanxi, in the headquarters of the First Army of the Devils, Iwamatsu Yoshio's orders were constantly issued from here, and the Devil's troops in Shanxi took action one after another, and they drew out a certain amount of troops to once again launch a sweep against the Japanese base area.

Early in the morning, after Liu Gen and the others found a hidden place to rest, they learned the information of the devil's retaliation from the telegram sent by the division headquarters, and the division headquarters ordered the independent regiment to prepare to deal with the devil's sweep under the leadership of Li Yunlong. At the same time, he ordered Liu Gen to return to the division headquarters in the shortest possible time, and the devil's sweep began again.

After seeing the news that he was ordered to return to the division headquarters, Liu Gen was not too surprised, he had long expected that such a thing would happen, with the degree of attention that Liu Gen was taken seriously, at this time, he really could not continue to stay in the independent regiment. The combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment is good, but the Independent Regiment also has its own things to do, and it is naturally impossible to do much in the protection of Liu Gen.

Returning to the division headquarters is different, because the headquarters of the 129th Division and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army are together, the security force there is very sufficient, and the division headquarters also has enough experience in dealing with the devil sweep, and there will be no security problems easily. But compared with returning to the division headquarters, Liu Gen still prefers to stay in the independent regiment, with Li Yunlong's character, staying in the independent regiment, there will definitely be no shortage of battles!

"Genzi, you kid should go back to the division headquarters as soon as possible, so that the division commander and the boss can rest easy." Li Yunlong put down the telegram in his hand and said seriously to Liu Gen.

Li Yunlong has experienced many devil sweeps, and he naturally has his own experience in dealing with devil sweeps, but even so, this time he does not have the slightest idea of leaving Liu Gen in the independent regiment. Li Yunlong knew Liu Gen's ability, and he knew that letting Liu Gen stay in the independent group was completely restricting Liu Gen's play, and with Liu Gen's ability, he needed to have a bigger stage.

It is good to successfully kill the devil's battlefield observation group this time, and there is also a devil's major general among them, but the battlefield observation group that chose to kill the devil's also makes the devil's sweep of the base area this time extremely cruel. Li Yunlong could have predicted that if he killed the devil's battlefield observation group under the nose of the devil, how could the devil give up?

Thinking of the need to face the crazy revenge of the devil this time, Li Yunlong had a little headache, if Liu Gen was left in the independent regiment, he would not be confident enough to protect Liu Gen's safety. It is precisely because of this that Li Yunlong will not hesitate to let Liu Gen return to the division headquarters, a talent like Liu Gen cannot easily die on the battlefield.

Maybe Liu Gen will also die on the battlefield one day, but it will definitely be after Li Yunlong and others have all sacrificed before he can be sacrificed on the battlefield. Within the Eighth Route Army, anyone who has seen Liu Gen knows one thing clearly, that is, Liu Gen must not have any problems and needs to be adequately protected.

"Commander, are you driving me away? It's not like your style. Liu Gen looked at Li Yunlong and couldn't help but speak.

Li Yunlong laughed, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. "Fuck! You're a big kid now! You even dare to ridicule Lao Tzu? ”

"Okay, Lao Tzu's independent group still has a lot of things to do, and this time will be very busy, so I won't keep you kid. I will ask the monk to take a few comrades to send you back to the division headquarters, do not refuse, for your safety, the division commander and the boss attach great importance to it, and there can be no problems. ”

"Genzi, you kid shouldn't want Lao Tzu to be punished, right?"

Liu Gen was a little helpless, everything he could say was said by Li Yunlong, what else could he say about this? In the end, Liu Gen could only nod with a wry smile, indicating that he understood that he had no idea of refusing.

"Then I'll go say goodbye to the commissar." Liu Gen said.

Li Yunlong nodded, he naturally didn't have any opinions, watching Liu Gen go to Zhao Gang, he felt a little bad in his heart, mother, it was hard to meet Liu Gen, and now they have to separate again. But there is no way, who makes them all soldiers? Soldiers should take obedience to orders as their duty, and Li Yunlong also knows this.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Gang, Liu Gen, the monk and others left the independent regiment directly, and hurried towards the position after the division headquarters was transferred.

At noon, Chu Yunfei woke up and found that Liu Gen was missing, and after questioning Li Yunlong, he learned that Liu Gen had already rushed back to the division headquarters. At this time, Chu Yunfei really realized the importance that the Eighth Route Army attached to Liu Gen, and Chu Yunfei could understand why Liu Gen needed to return to the division headquarters without asking for specific reasons.

The devil's imminent retaliation against the Eighth Route Army means that all troops on the front line have the possibility of exchanging fire with the devil, and the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is very strong, but if you want to ensure Liu Gen's safety, you are still not sure enough.

Knowing that the devil's revenge was about to begin, Chu Yunfei had no idea of continuing to stay in the Independent Regiment, and at such a juncture, he needed to return to the 358th Regiment. No one knew what the devil was going to do, and Chu Yunfei also wanted to return to the 358th regiment to see if there was a chance to fight.

As for whether the 358 regiment's attack on the devil will attract the attention of the devil, Chu Yunfei doesn't care about this, as a soldier, if he gives up taking action against the devil because he is worried about being noticed by the enemy, then there is no need to be a soldier.

After saying goodbye to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei and the others left the independent regiment directly, and they needed to join the other Jin Sui Army officers in the exchange group before returning to their respective units. Chu Yunfei believed that the other people in the exchange group should not have the idea of continuing to communicate with the Eighth Route Army at this moment.

The devils launched a sweep of the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and no one knew whether the Eighth Route Army would be able to successfully defend it, and it was good that there were no problems, but once there was a problem, their exchange group would also have a lot of dangers.

When Chu Yunfei and the others returned to the exchange group, they found that the officers in the exchange group all looked cold, and after seeing Chu Yunfei and the others return to the team, they immediately chose to set off. If it weren't for waiting for Chu Yunfei and the others, then the officers in these exchange groups would have chosen to leave a long time ago.

Compared with staying in the Eighth Route Army, these officers of the Jin Sui Army still prefer to stay in their own troops, even if their troops may not be able to compare with the Eighth Route Army in terms of combat effectiveness, but they still want to leave.

The Eighth Route Army naturally did not have any obstacle to the departure of the Jin Sui Army Exchange Group, and after sending a company of soldiers to protect them from leaving the base area, the Eighth Route Army turned its attention to the menacing devil troops.

Under the orders of Iwamatsu Yoshio, all units of the First Army of the Devils mobilized a certain number of troops and launched a retaliatory encirclement and suppression of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army. It can be seen from the marching speed of these devil troops that the devils are menacing, and this time the devil troops are crazy.

Taking this situation into account, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army ordered all units of the Eighth Route Army to focus on small units to block the devils and not to do too much entanglement with the devils. Among them, the main energy of the Eighth Route Army should be on the transfer of the masses in the base areas, and the devils are very lethal, and if the masses are not transferred, then the masses will be exposed to the butcher's knife of the devils.

It is precisely with this in mind that the bosses will order all units to attach importance to the safety of the masses in the base areas, pay attention to the protection of the masses, and reduce the losses of the masses as much as possible.

After receiving the order from the headquarters, all units of the Eighth Route Army moved quickly, and they moved the masses in the base areas as quickly as possible, except for some old people who were unwilling to transfer, most of the people in the base areas were transferred.

The day after the mass transfer began, the troops gathered by the First Army of the Devils launched a retaliatory sweep against the Japanese base areas, this time the devils mainly focused on sabotage, and they also knew that it was difficult to find traces of the troops of the Eighth Route Army, so they chose sabotage, unscrupulous destruction.

Villages were burned, farmland was trampled, wells were thrown into corpses, and every village passed by the devil's troops was turned into scorched earth.

After knowing the crazy destruction of the devil's troops in the base area, the bosses were extremely angry, and they continued to mobilize the strength of each unit to launch a counterattack against the devil's weak sweeping forces, and at the same time ordered all troops to uproot the strongholds where the devil's defense was weak.

On weekdays, the stronghold defended by the devils is sufficient, and the devils also know the methods of the Eighth Route Army, and they constantly leave the stronghold too far easily. However, this time, Iwamatsu Yoshio transferred troops to carry out a retaliatory sweep against the Japanese base area, and a lot of troops from various units of the First Army were transferred, resulting in insufficient troops for the devils to defend the stronghold.

Under the flexible command of the bosses, the strongholds of the devils in the anti-Japanese base areas were constantly uprooted, forcing the devils to give up the sweep of the anti-Japanese base areas and deploy troops to defend the strongholds.

It's just that even though the units of the Eighth Route Army have achieved good results under the command of the bosses, the retaliatory sweep of the devils in the anti-Japanese base areas still caused a lot of damage to the base areas, especially the farmland trampled by the devils, which will inevitably have a certain impact on the grain output of the base areas.

In March, calm was restored in the anti-Japanese base areas after the withdrawal of the last sweeping troops of the devils, but the wounds suffered by the masses in the base areas did not know when they would be recovered.

In the Huangyadong Arsenal, Liu Genzheng commanded the workers of the Arsenal to carry the lathes, and the bosses decided to separate the Huangyadong Arsenal to ensure that the production of the Arsenal would not be affected too much as possible.

In order to ensure the safety of the arsenal to the greatest extent, the Yellow Cliff Cave Arsenal will be divided into three parts, considering that the location of the Yellow Cliff Cave has been discovered by the devils, the production part of the Yellow Cliff Cave Arsenal will not be too important, so as to avoid the devil troops from going to the Yellow Cliff Cave Arsenal again to sweep.

Among them, the artillery department of the arsenal also needs to evacuate Huangya Cave and go to a more hidden area for production, which means that if Liu Gen wants to return to Huangya Cave in the future, I am afraid there will not be too many opportunities.

Looking at the busy workers of the military factory, Liu Gen was a little depressed, and it would be a little difficult for them to add Director Xu in the future.

After returning to the headquarters, Liu Gen also learned from the headquarters bosses that the battles he can participate in will increase a lot in the future, and as Liu Gen participates in more battles, he will spend a lot less time in the rear.

Liu Gen didn't know when they would be after leaving this time, plus Director Xu, the only thing he could do was to tell Director Xu and others some of the technical knowledge he knew, and then use it as a technical reserve for the arsenal.

Of course, if the arsenal is in need, Liu Gen will definitely return to the arsenal to solve quite a problem, but unless it is some problems that need to be solved by Liu Gen himself, ordinary problems can be solved on the phone.

After saying goodbye to Director Xu, Foreman Qi and others, Liu Gen did not stay any longer, and left Huangya Cave with the artillery department under the escort of the soldiers.
