Chemingyu, with rugged terrain and dense mountains and forests, is a good place to ambush the devil's reinforcements.

In order to be able to block the devil reinforcements and delay the advance of the devil reinforcements, Liu Gen deliberately asked the soldiers to lay mines and traps on the main road. In Liu Gen's assumption, he was not prepared to exchange fire with the devil at the first time, as long as he could delay the advance of the devil's reinforcements, then it didn't matter whether he exchanged fire with the devil.

Due to the limited number of mines carried by Liu Gen and others, there are not many mines laid by Liu Gen and others, and it is difficult to form a minefield that is too large.

In order to delay the speed of the devil's march, Liu Gen deliberately asked the soldiers to disperse when laying mines, so that they did not have to form minefields into minefields. The purpose of laying mines this time is to stop the devils and delay their advance, and there is no need to blindly pursue killing.

I have to say that under the leadership of Battalion Commander Zhang, the soldiers did a very good job.

When everything was arranged, the soldiers had time to rest, and the soldiers were somewhat tired from the rush of last night and the laying of mines and traps after arriving. After the soldiers ate the dry food they carried with them, they hid behind the position and waited patiently, except for some of the soldiers who stayed outside to guard, and the rest of the soldiers rested.

Liu Gen didn't rest, he wasn't too tired, and he didn't need to do things like laying mines and traps. The fighters did a very good job, even if Liu Gen did it, it wouldn't change much.

During the rest time of the soldiers, Liu Gen communicated with Che Mingyu's militia troops, considering the combat effectiveness of the militia troops, he was not prepared to let these comrades stay in the position to block the devils together. Liu Gen had a better arrangement for the local militia troops in Chemingyu, and he chose to arrange these comrades in the woods on both sides of the road to prevent the devils from abandoning the road and choosing to walk through the woods.

Liu Gen and the others were not familiar with the woods on both sides of the road, so it was naturally better to need local militia troops to defend them.

Three hours later, a devil army arrived at Chemingyu, this devil force is not many, there is only one infantry squad, it should only be regarded as a front force.

Liu Gen did not believe that there was only one infantry squad of the devil troops who came from the direction of Fenyang to support, and in order to avoid the destruction of the mines and traps arranged by this devil infantry squad, Liu Gen decisively asked Battalion Commander Zhang to take the initiative with the soldiers. With the fire suppression of an artillery battalion, it is not difficult to take out a devil infantry squad.

Of course, when launching an artillery attack on the devil infantry squad, Liu Gen only used a part of the mortar, and he didn't want these devils to know how many artillery pieces he had.

Under the initiative of Battalion Commander Zhang and the soldiers, except for a small number of devils, most of the devils were directly killed. After a simple cleaning of the battlefield, Battalion Commander Zhang returned to the position with the soldiers, they didn't have much to gain, how many good things can a devil infantry squad have?

As for killing this devil infantry squad will expose the existence of Liu Gen and others, Liu Gen doesn't care, even if he doesn't make a move this time, sooner or later the devil will know that he and others are here to block it. Exposing it in advance will not make the devil change the direction of progress, who let Che Mingyu be the only way for the devil's reinforcements to go to Liulin County?

Unless the devil's reinforcements are willing to take a detour, so that they can avoid the resistance of Liu Gen and others, but with the arrogant character of the devil, how can they choose to take a detour?

"Comrade Liu Gen, are you sure that the devil will not choose to take a detour?" In the middle of the position, Battalion Commander Zhang asked with some concern.

Liu Gen said very surely, but Battalion Commander Zhang was still a little worried in his heart, the devil is arrogant, but he should also be able to distinguish the priorities, if the devil's reinforcements choose to take a detour, then their arrangement in Chemingyu will be wasted.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, in the case of devils, he will not easily choose to take a detour." =

"What's more, even if these devils choose to take a detour, they will run into our blocking forces and will slow down their march." Liu Gen smiled confidently.

The devils who came to support from the direction of Fenyang must have used military vehicles, otherwise relying on the two legs of the devils, how could they reach Liulin County in a short time? According to the terrain conditions of the surrounding area, Chemingyu is the only passage for the Devil's army vehicles to pass through, and the Devil's reinforcements will not choose to give up passing through Chemingyu.

Seeing Liu Gen's self-confidence, the worries in Battalion Commander Zhang's heart dissipated a little, according to what Liu Gen said, whether the devil will choose to take a detour does not change the fact that the devil's reinforcements were blocked.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, have you sent down the bullets captured from the devil? Once the battle began, the fighters could not afford to have enough ammunition in their hands. Liu Gen asked.

Battalion Commander Zhang nodded, "Comrade Liu Gen, don't worry, I know the importance of ammunition in battle, the captured ammunition has already been sent to the comrades, and it will definitely not affect the comrades' battle." ”

Seeing this, Liu Gen no longer said anything, with Camp Commander Zhang's experience, there should be no problems in all aspects. The next battle with the devil's reinforcements will be the top priority, with the devil's madness, Liu Gen and the others will inevitably have a tough battle with the devil's reinforcements.

The only hope that Liu Gen had was that the devil's reinforcements did not carry heavy artillery, otherwise he didn't know how to fight this battle, if the devil really had heavy artillery in his hands, then Liu Gen didn't think that he and the others would be able to stop the devil's reinforcements for long. The range and power of heavy artillery far exceed the mortars in the hands of the artillery battalion, and if you want to kill the devil heavy artillery, then you can only use heavy artillery.

But now, with the situation of the 120th Division, where can Liu Gen get heavy artillery?

Five hours later, a large army of devils appeared on the outskirts of Chemingyu, and according to the soldiers who investigated, there should be an infantry brigade of devils, with nearly 1,000 people. This devil infantry brigade has five military vehicles, and there are three jumpers in front of the team to open the way, it seems that this devil army has received the news that Chemingyu has the Eighth Route Army troops to block it.

After receiving the news that the devil's reinforcements had arrived at Chemingyu, Liu Gen immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the position, and the artillery battalion was hidden in the rear.

Soon after the soldiers entered the position, they could see the devil troops appear in the sight of Liu Gen and others, and the military vehicle and the three jumpers were left behind by the devils, and they didn't want the military vehicles and the three jumpers to be blown up due to the battle. The fact that this devil reinforcement was able to arrive in Chemingyu so quickly had something to do with the military vehicle they were riding.

It's just that even if it's a devil, there are not enough military vehicles to transport soldiers, so they can only let the devil soldiers take military vehicles instead to increase the speed of the march.

"Hide! The bombardment of the devils is coming! Liu Gen picked up the binoculars and looked at the devil, and could see that the devil artillery was quickly erecting mortars.

Seeing that the devil artillery was setting up mortars, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this devil army did not carry heavy artillery, otherwise it would not have only used mortars.

Battalion Commander Zhang's expression was solemn, and he had fought with the devil troops a lot of times, so he naturally knew the fighting habits of the devil troops. Battalion Commander Zhang waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers immediately hid in the cat's ear hole in the position, waiting for the next shelling by the devils.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

“……”

In less than five minutes, the dense artillery bombardment of the devils hit the position where Liu Gen and the others were, and the shells were very intensive, as if the shells did not cost money at all. After launching five rounds of artillery bombardment on the positions of Liu Gen and others, the devil's artillery fire was immediately extended and attacked towards the rear of the position.

In the cat's ear hole, Liu Gen immediately crawled out of the cat's ear hole after he noticed the devil's artillery fire extending, and he could see the devil soldiers quickly returning to the position. Without waiting for Liu Gen to open his mouth, the other soldiers crawled out of the cat's ear hole, and they also realized that the devil's attack had begun.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, the defense of the position is handed over to you, I need to launch a counterattack with the artillery battalion!"

"Hold on!"

“……”

Quickly returning to the rear from the front-line position, Liu Gen could see that less than fifty meters away from the hiding place of the artillery battalion, there were craters blown up by devil shells. If the devil's artillery fire continues to extend, then the artillery battalion will inevitably be ordered by the devil's shells, and there will be a lot of losses.

"Advance two hundred meters with mortars, pay attention to concealment!" Seeing the soldiers of the artillery battalion, Liu Gen gave the order as soon as possible.

In order to avoid the shelling of the devils, Liu Gen made the artillery battalion hide outside the range of the devil's artillery, and this distance also means that the artillery battalion cannot counterattack the devil's artillery. Now Liu Gen needs the artillery battalion to advance two hundred meters and include the devil artillery in his range in order to launch a counterattack against the devil artillery.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion looked serious and did not hesitate to touch the front with mortars and shells. As artillerymen, they naturally understand what to do next.

In the front-line position, bullets and dust danced together, in the face of the ghost soldiers who rushed to the position, Battalion Commander Zhang led the soldiers to fight back frantically, the soldiers had enough ammunition in their hands, and their confidence in the counterattack was also much more sufficient. Every time the devils who rushed to the position took a step forward, there would be devil soldiers who were successfully killed by the soldiers, and there were many injured devils.

At this time, the devil's artillery had already stopped shelling, and the devil's soldiers were not far from the position, and if they continued to shell, it would be easy to injure these devil soldiers who rushed to the position of the Eighth Route Army.

In the rear devil troops, the devil commander was observing the battle on the front line with a telescope, and he could see that the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army was very fierce, and the firepower was not weak, including two or three heavy machine guns. And these heavy machine guns don't know if they are all the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the devil commander has a solemn expression, and it seems that it is not easy to easily kill these blocking Eighth Route Army.

"Two more infantry squads! I will crush these Tupachi troops who dare to block the Imperial Japanese Army in the shortest possible time! ”
