In late July, after Liu Gen was busy with the affairs of the arsenal, he began the new enrollment of the artillery school.

Due to the strict sweep and blockade of the devils in the anti-Japanese base areas, Liu Gen could no longer personally select suitable trainees from each unit, and could only give each unit a standard, hoping that they could find some good seedlings by themselves. After learning that the artillery school was going to recruit a new batch of cadets, all units hoped to get more places, and eventually the number of artillery cadets in the new batch reached 300.

The second batch of cadets was three times that of the first batch, but they were still within the range that the artillery school could bear, which was also due to the fact that Liu Gen left Wang Chao and several others in the artillery school to teach. Otherwise, if Liu Gen is still the only instructor in the artillery school, then no matter how strong Liu Gen's ability is, he will be too busy.

When the trainees of various units successfully arrived at Huangya Cave, the time came to the beginning of August, but after these students successfully arrived at Huangya Cave, these students were in a very embarrassed state. Among them, there were several students of the army who did not successfully arrive, and after inquiring about the relevant information, Liu Gen got a lot of news that those students who did not arrive had encountered devils.

Even if the students were extremely cautious when they went to Huangya Cave, there were still students who unfortunately encountered the devil's sweeping troops, and in the face of the devil's sweeping troops, the students were weak and were not the opponents of the devil's sweeping troops at all. None of the students who encountered the devil were able to escape successfully, and they used up all the ammunition they carried, and after desperately counterattacking the devil, they unfortunately died.

After knowing the casualties of the students, Liu Gen was a little silent, but he quickly regrouped his emotions and began training these new students.

Liu Gen didn't have much time to grieve for the students who sacrificed, he could only turn his grief into motivation and put more expectations on the students who successfully arrived. In the end, the new batch of students was scheduled to have 300 places, but in fact, only 212 students successfully arrived at Huangya Cave, and the rest of the students who did not arrive were all unfortunately killed.

On the list of cadets of the new phase of the Artillery School, there are the names of those who sacrificed their lives, they were originally members of the Artillery School, and Liu Gen will never forget them.

Setting up the artillery school in Huangya Cave also has a lot of advantages, Liu Gen can easily go back and forth between the arsenal and the artillery cadets, so as to give full play to his ability. The trainees will also have more exposure to artillery to increase their knowledge of artillery and improve their related skills.

On this day, Liu Gen was patrolling the training ground, and in order to facilitate the training of the students, a small training ground was opened in the Huangya Cave. The training facilities may be a little rudimentary, but they can also help the trainees' training. With the arsenal here, Liu Gen can have more ways to train the students.

After all, it's pretty easy to build something in the arsenal.

"Instructor Liu, there is a telegram from the division headquarters, I hope you can go back to the division headquarters." A telegraph operator sent a telegram from the division headquarters, and the message on it was very simple, that is, to ask Liu Gen to go back.

After receiving this telegram, Liu Gen was a little puzzled, as far as he knew, during this time, the division headquarters was also busy preserving the anti-Japanese vital forces, and commanding all troops to avoid the sweep of devils as much as possible. Now let yourself be a division, what is the situation? After Liu Gen found that he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it, and when he returned to the division, he could easily get the answer.

"Call back to the division headquarters, and I will immediately set off to return to the division headquarters." Liu Gen instructed the telegraph operator beside him.

The telegraph operator left quickly, and Liu Gen rode directly out of Huangya Cave after explaining the next training to Wang Chao and others about the next training of the students. For safety, Liu Gen brought two soldiers as guards, originally he didn't want to bring them, but he couldn't bear the constant demands of Wang Chao and others. In Liu Gen's opinion, the distance between the division headquarters and Huangya Cave is not too far, and it won't take him too long to return to the division headquarters, so he shouldn't encounter any danger.

Leaving Huangya Cave, Liu Gen confirmed the direction and quickly headed towards the division headquarters.

On the way, Liu Gen and the two fighters were very vigilant, and as long as they heard any unusual sounds, they would hide them for the time being. If Liu Gen was alone, it might not be like this, but now that the two fighters are by his side, with Liu Gen's strength, there will not be problems easily, but these two fighters are different.

The two fighters had no problem with staying vigilant, and in their usual training, they also trained this.

By the time Liu Gen and the three of them successfully returned to the division headquarters, it was already evening, just in time for the division headquarters' dinner. Returning to the division headquarters safely, Liu Gen was also relieved, on the way, even if Liu Gen and the three were extra vigilant, they still encountered the enemy, but they encountered some puppet troops, and after being killed by Liu Gen and the three of them, those puppet troops gave up the pursuit.

After having dinner in the cooking class of the division headquarters, Liu Gencai went to the division headquarters to find the division commander, and along the way, he could see that the defense of the division headquarters was very tight, and there were many secret posts. It's just that Liu Gen can also see that the division headquarters has not been attacked, so what is going on with such a tight defense now?

"Liu Gen, the temporary acting principal of the 129th Division Artillery School, came to report!" Outside the war room, Liu Gen shouted loudly.

In the war room, the division commander laughed, he knew that if Liu Gen returned to the division headquarters this time, Liu Gen would do something. No, before they met, Liu Gen showed his dissatisfaction.

"Come in!"

Liu Gen walked into the war room and found that at night, there were still many people busy here, and the division commander stood in front of the map, looking very obvious.

"Division Commander, what is the matter with you asking me to return to the division headquarters?" Liu Gen came to the division commander and asked with a smile.

Outside the door, Liu Gen dared to show his dissatisfaction, but now, staying in front of the division commander, he didn't have such courage. Even Li Yunlong didn't dare to be the slightest presumptuous in front of the division commander, let alone Liu Gen, his record was good, but after all, he was not as stingy as Li Yunlong.

"Go pour a cup of tea yourself, you just returned to the division headquarters, don't worry." The division commander patted Liu Gen's shoulder and said with a smile.

Finding that the division commander didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, Liu Gen immediately relaxed, it seemed that there was nothing serious, otherwise the division commander would not be so calm. Of course, even if something big happens, it doesn't have much to do with Liu Gen, with the division commander here, Liu Gen is not needed for real big things.

Find a cup, after Liu Gen rinsed it, he poured a glass of water for himself, and saw some tea leaves on the division commander's table, Liu Gen carefully took a few pieces and threw them into the cup. Gently shake the cup, and the tea leaves rotate in the cup, rising and falling.

The division commander saw Liu Gen's small action of taking tea at will, and he was somewhat helpless, these tea leaves were still a little bit he got from the bosses, and now it's okay, he hasn't drunk it a few times, and he was seen by Liu Gen, the kid. The division commander picked up the tea leaves and decisively threw them into the drawer, he felt that this bit of tea was no longer safe after being seen by Liu Gen.

"Commander, are you there? Are you still worried that I will take your tea? Liu Gen watched the division put away the tea leaves, and said helplessly.

I just took a few pieces of tea, how do you think the teacher meant, is he a thief to prevent himself? It's just a little tea, how can Liu Gen care? Eyes were withdrawn from the drawer closed by the division commander, and in the first drawer on the left side of the table, Liu Gen's memory was still good.

"You kid thinks too much, you kid is a talent in the eyes of the bosses, as long as you want, the bosses will definitely be able to get you a little tea." I finally got this tea from Mr. Peng's fingernails, you kid don't want to play this tea idea. The division commander scolded with a smile.

Liu Gen didn't go back to the division headquarters much, but every time he returned to the division headquarters, he had to take something with him. At the beginning, the division commander didn't care, Liu Gen had no problem taking things away from the division headquarters, as long as he could train more excellent artillerymen.

The cadets who graduated from the artillery school in the first batch, after being assigned to the units, performed quite well. And after these artillery units were assigned to various units, they also took the initiative to teach the artillery fighters of each unit to help them hold promotions.

In a short period of two months, the artillery level of all units of the Eighth Route Army has been greatly improved, and the improvement of artillery level naturally means the improvement of the combat effectiveness of all units.

After seeing how powerful these cadets who graduated from the artillery school were, all units of the 129th Division hoped to get more cadets from the artillery school, so that the combat effectiveness of their respective units could be improved again. It can be said that those cadets who graduated from the artillery school have directly become the sweets in the eyes of all units.

"Commander, you think too badly."

"You see which time I took things from the division headquarters not for the sake of my students, but for the development of the arsenal, if you think that I will take your tea, you will be a little wronged." Liu Gen said helplessly.

Liu Gen felt that his reputation in the division headquarters was good, and the comrades were very enthusiastic about him, even if he took something away from the division headquarters, he did not have any bad influence on the rest of the division. But now, why is the division commander so defensive of him? Liu Gen felt that he was really wronged!

"Ahem, Genzi, let's not worry about the tea matter, let you go back to the division today, there is indeed something you need to do."

"This matter is still relatively important, it is a matter of Yan'an, and you need to go to Yan'an. If it's fast, it may not take half a month, your kid hasn't been to Yan'an yet, and it's not easy to have a chance now, you kid should cherish it. The division commander looked at Liu Gen with anticipation in his eyes.

There was obvious surprise on Liu Gen's face, it turned out to be something from Yan'an? What the hell is going on? Liu Gen couldn't think of it, and he didn't know what would be waiting for him.
