Chapter 575: Defense Focus

"Comrade Liu Gen, this adjutant knife is for you." After the war, after cleaning up the battlefield, Battalion Commander Zhang sent an adjutant knife to Liu Gen.

Liu Gen took the adjutant knife and pulled it out at random to take a look, the workmanship of this adjutant's knife is not bad, and it has a collection and commemorative value. Of course, in this day and age, being able to capture an adjutant knife on the battlefield is a very proud and proud thing!

If you want to capture the adjutant knife from the devil, then you must at least kill an infantry squadron of the devil, and this must ensure that the devil commander does not retreat in order to successfully capture a sword. It can be said that in any anti-Japanese army, the successful capture of an official knife is not a small honor.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, you should keep this adjutant knife." Liu Gen returned the adjutant knife to Battalion Commander Zhang, and he didn't have much thought about this adjutant knife.

Something like the Zuoguan knife, as long as Liu Gen wants it, then it can be easily obtained.

With Liu Gen's strength, it is still very easy to get an adjutant knife. What's more, in the battles he experienced before, Liu Gen also killed a lot of devils, and he also had a lot of captured adjutant's knives.

And those adjutant knives that Liu Gen seized had already been sent out by Liu Gen, and he didn't have any interest in the devil's adjutant knives. Even if Liu Gen wants to get a devil's saber, it should at least be a general's sword.

Battalion Commander Zhang was a little helpless, he knew that it was unlikely that Liu Gen would accept this adjutant knife, and from Liu Gen's performance, he knew that it was not difficult for Liu Gen to get an adjutant's knife. In the eyes of others, it was not easy to get an adjutant knife.

But if you put such a thing on Liu Gen, then it will be very easy, and Camp Commander Zhang is still very sure of this.

Putting away the adjutant knife, Battalion Commander Zhang was a little happy, it was still very good to be able to capture an adjutant knife. Liu Gen didn't look down on the adjutant knife, but Battalion Commander Zhang clearly knew what an adjutant's knife represented. When you encounter others questioning your strength, taking out an adjutant knife is the best proof of this.

"Comrade Liu Gen, this attacking devil army has been successfully killed by us, what should we do next?"

"Once the devils react, then they will inevitably send more troops to Nuan Quans Town to attack, and if we want to successfully defend it, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." Successfully killed this devil army attacking Nuanquan Town, Battalion Commander Zhang still didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

Battalion Commander Zhang knew very well that the devil's retaliatory operation against the 120th Division had just begun, and in a short period of time, the devil's retaliation would not stop easily.

Warm Springs Town has a good strategic value, and with a Devil Infantry Squadron losing contact in the direction of Warm Springs Town, the Devils will definitely not easily give up the idea of attacking Warm Springs Town. The devil's strength is a little nervous, but it can still be done by sending a squadron of infantry to attack Nuanquan Town again.

Liu Gen couldn't see too much tension on his face, and successfully killed an infantry squadron of devils, and the capture on the battlefield replenished the weapons and ammunition of Liu Gen and others. Without the worries about weapons and ammunition, the defense of Warm Springs will be easier.

Without caring about the consumption of ammunition, if the devil wants to break through the defensive positions of Xue Bing and others, he needs at least an infantry brigade, or even more troops. Only if the devils have enough troops can the devils attack frantically regardless of their own casualties, and then take Nuanquan Town.

"Repair the defensive positions, and in addition, let the comrades use the captures to lay more mines and traps."

"The devil troops who will attack Nuanquan Town next should not attack like this brainless and crazy again, and our defense in Nuanquan Town should last for a while, so let the comrades be psychologically prepared." Liu Gen commanded seriously.

Battalion Commander Zhang nodded, he understood what Liu Gen meant, and he knew what to do about the defense of Nuanquan Town next. Unless the devil draws a large number of troops, with the defense facilities of Warm Spring Town, it is impossible for the devil to take Warm Spring Town in a short time.

Leaving the front line, Liu Gen returned to Nuanquan Town, knowing that the next defense work would not be too much of a problem.

After killing an infantry squadron of devils, it will take a certain amount of time for the devils to draw troops, and it will take a certain amount of time for the next devil unit to attack Warm Springs Town to come around Warm Springs Town. That is, the fighters had enough rest time for recovery.

After a full day of training, the soldiers were still very tired, especially the guard company led by Xue Bing, who was even more tired than other soldiers in the battle.

Not long after Liu Gen returned to Nuanquan Town, some villagers from Nuanquan Town carried pots of hot rice towards the front line, which were all meals made by the villagers for the soldiers. Of course, these meals were all paid by Liu Gen in exchange.

Many villagers refused to accept Dayang as a reward, but under Liu Gen's strong request, these villagers still accepted it.

During such a war years, the life of the villagers was already very hard, and Liu Gen did not want to make the lives of these villagers more difficult because of himself. Swapping the ocean for the townsfolk to cook some hot meals for the warriors is a very good thing for both sides.

The soldiers were able to eat hot meals and devote themselves to the battle in a better state, and the villagers were able to improve their lives by being rewarded by the ocean through this behavior.

I have to say that the villagers in Nuanquan Town are very simple, and Liu Gen can see that the hot meals made by the villagers are full of portions, which should be able to make every soldier full.

When I came to the location of the wounded, there were also villagers here who cooked, but considering the state of the wounded, the meals cooked by these villagers were more exquisite and nutritious. Many villagers took out the good things that they were reluctant to eat on weekdays, in order to make these wounded people recover better.

After walking through the entire Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen relieved himself, the situation in Nuanquan Town is very good now, and it should be regarded as a combination of the military and the people.

Liu Gen believes that the defense work of Nuanquan Town will be easier, and if the defense of the Eighth Route Army encounters difficulties, the villagers of Nuanquan Town will definitely not hesitate to lend a hand.

Compared with when the devils occupied Nuanquan Town, the current Nuanquan Town is undoubtedly more vibrant, and the villagers of Nuanquan Town do not have to worry about provoking those moody devils and losing their lives. The performance of Liu Gen and others in Nuanquan Town made the villagers of Nuanquan Town very satisfied, and they were willing to cooperate with Liu Gen and others' defense work.

Looking for a corner, Liu Gen took out the dry food on his body, caught cold water, and ate it quickly.

Liu Gen felt that his state was okay, and whether he ate hot meals or not didn't have much impact on him. Besides, Liu Gen didn't participate in the battle much, and the physical consumption was not much, so it was enough to eat some dry food.

After eating dry food in the corner, Liu Gen walked quickly towards the temporary command post, he needed to ask the division headquarters about the next move of the 120th Division. The location of Warm Springs Town is very special, and it can be well defended when there are 120 divisions in the surrounding area to attract the attention of devils.

However, once the troops of the 120th Division in the surrounding area are withdrawn, especially the battles in Liulin County, Wubao County, and Jiaokou County, it will affect the defense of Nuanquan Town.

In order to do a good job in the defense of Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen needs to have a clear understanding of the next actions of the troops of the 120th Division, if the troops really want to choose to evacuate, then Liu Gen and the others naturally need to follow quickly, otherwise they will be left in Nuanquan Town by the devils, and they will become lonely soldiers who cannot be rescued.

Nuanquan Town has always been in contact with the headquarters of the 120th Division, and Division Commander He is also very concerned about Liu Gen's condition and is very worried about what danger Liu Gen will encounter in the battle. Since the beginning of the battle, Liu Gen has fully demonstrated his ability, and it is precisely because of Liu Gen's presence that the battle will progress so smoothly.

If it weren't for the fact that there was fighting in the area around Nuanquan Town, there was a certain risk of letting Liu Gen evacuate from Nuanquan Town, then Division Commander He would definitely withdraw Liu Gen directly to the headquarters of the 120th Division to ensure Liu Gen's safety.

From the contact with the headquarters of the 120th Division, Liu Gen clearly understood the fighting situation in the surrounding area, and Liulin County was still in the hands of the 120th Division, but it should be impossible to defend it. The devil's attack on Liulin County is very ferocious, coupled with the fact that the devil has the firepower of fighters and heavy artillery, which makes it difficult to do the defense work in Liulin County.

Even if the soldiers of the Death Squad responsible for defending Liulin County relied on various defensive facilities to constantly launch counterattacks against the devil's attack, they could not prevent the devil from seizing Liulin County. The combat effectiveness of the Death Squad is very strong, and it is precisely because of this that Liulin County is still in the hands of the 120th Division.

Tonight, the fighters of the Death Squad will withdraw from Liulin County and abandon the defense of Liulin County. In just two days of fighting, more than half of the casualties of the Death Determination Special Service Regiment were casualties, and the two battalions of the 714th Regiment, which were responsible for assisting in the defense of the Death Death Special Service Regiment, also suffered casualties of one battalion.

It is really the devil's fighter planes and heavy artillery that bomb and shell as if they don't want money, and it is also the relatively strong defense facilities in Liulin County that can make the special task force hold on to the present.

After abandoning Liulin County, Regiment Commander Chen of the Death Squad will lead the remaining troops to Wubao County to assist in the defense of Wubao County. Next, Wubao County will become the focus of the next Devil's attack, and the Devil has two infantry brigades around Wubao County.

In order to ensure the foolproof defense of Wubao County, Division Commander He specially transferred a part of the 120th Division to Wubao County to support, and at the same time, the cavalry detachment was also active in the rear of the devils, destroying the devils' communication routes and material transportation as much as possible.

As for the battle in Jiaokou County, it was not as bad as in Liulin County, and the devils did not take Jiaokou County as the main direction of the counterattack battle. In a short period of time, there should be no problems with the defense work of Jiaokou County.

In Nuanquan Town, Liu Gen's face was a little solemn, and the devil was able to successfully take Liulin County, which was what he expected. This time the devil's counterattack was very fierce, and the devil also knew that he could not easily let the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army take away the county seat.

Even if the devil has to send some troops to the Pacific theater, the devil still does not want accidents on the Chinese battlefield, and he needs to maintain his deterrence on the Chinese battlefield.

The battle in Wubao County will become the focus of this battle, and if the 120th Division can successfully defend Wubao County, then the devils can only stop counterattacking operations, shrink their forces, and lick their wounds. But if the devils take Wubao County, then the devils' counterattack will be strengthened again, and they will inevitably march to the hinterland of the 120th Division's anti-Japanese base area.

For the devil, whether he can take Wubao County or not is not so important, and it will not have much impact. Even if the 120th Division finds an opportunity to take a few county towns now, the devils don't have much impact, and compared to the counties recaptured by the 120th Division, the area occupied by the devils is still very large.

But for the 120th Division, the battle in Wubao County cannot be lost, the hinterland of the 120th Division's anti-Japanese base is Yan'an, in order to ensure the safety of Yan'an, Wubao County must be defended! Only in this way can we avoid the devil army from driving straight into Yan'an and directly approaching Yan'an, threatening the safety of the bosses.

Liu Gen seriously thought about what he could do in the next battle, but after thinking about it seriously, he found that he couldn't do too much. If you want to affect the battle in Wubao County, there are only two choices, either kill enough devils, or kill the commander of the devils!

Of these two choices, it will be extremely difficult to do either one, at least Liu Gen does not think that he has the ability to do it. The artillery battalion of the 120th Division was in his hands, but the number of shells was limited, so that the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion could not be fully utilized.

Liu Gen knew very well that he would not be able to have much impact on the battle in Wubao County by bringing the artillery battalion to Wubao County. With the current state of the artillery battalion, it is difficult to take out the artillery of the devils, let alone the heavy artillery units of the devils.

If you can't take out the devil's heavy artillery troops, then you won't be able to have much impact on the devil's attack.

Liu Gen frowned and thought about it, he desperately wanted to find a way, a way that could affect the outcome of Wubao County's defense. In the next defense work of Nuanquan Town, there will not be much problem, and Liu Gen is not in Nuanquan Town, so it will not have much impact.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Liu Gen wanted to intervene in the defensive battle of Wubao County and help the 120th Division win the defensive battle in Wubao County.

However, no matter what Liu Gen does, he can't think of a good breakthrough, it's impossible to kill enough devils, and the commander who wants to kill devils won't be so easy.

The devil commander is not a fool, in such a battle, he will inevitably pay special attention to his own safety, and it is impossible to easily expose his position.

If you want to kill the devil commander, you need to know the specific location of the devil commander, and only in this way can there be a trace of the possibility of killing the devil commander. Even if you can kill the devil commander, if you want to get out successfully, you can't do it easily.

The devil's reaction speed is not slow, and if he is a little careless, then he will definitely be surrounded by the devil.

When they came to the front-line position, the comrades of the artillery battalion were repairing the defensive positions, while Xue Bing and other soldiers of the guard company were resting in place. It can be seen that the state of the soldiers of the guard company has recovered a lot, and it is much better than when they first retired from the battlefield.

"Xue Bing, come over for a moment." Seeing Xue Bing, Liu Gen shouted directly.

Xue Bing quickly got up and ran to Liu Gen's side, he had a bandage wrapped around his arm, and in today's battle, he was accidentally bitten by a devil's bullet.

"Xue Bing, what do you think can do to kill the commander of the devil?" Liu Gen asked with some expectation.

Xue Bing's ability is good, Liu Gen hopes that Xue Bing can bring him a little surprise, or let him trigger something.
