Ten minutes later, the devil could not resist the attack of Liu Gen and others, and could only flee quickly.

Liu Gen stopped the soldiers who wanted to chase and kill, evacuation was the most important, and he took the initiative to attack the devil in order to be able to evacuate smoothly. Now that the devil troops have fled, it is naturally the best time for Liu Gen and the others to evacuate.

The soldiers obeyed Liu Gen's orders very much, and in the battle, they could all see Liu Gen's fierceness when fighting the devils. Among these fighters, there is nothing that can be compared with Liu Gen, not because they don't have the determination to fight with devils, but because their physical fitness can't be compared with Liu Gen, even if they desperately want to kill more devils, it is difficult to do it.

"Ergou, you take your brothers to quickly clean up the battlefield, and by the way, arrange trickery mines on the corpses of some devils."

"We don't have time to transfer the bodies of our brothers at the sacrifice, we can only hope that when we have time to return here, we will collect the bodies of our brothers and bury them so that they can be buried in peace." Liu Gen's mood was a little low, those soldiers who died in the battle with the devils, he didn't have time to collect the bodies for them.

Liu Gen was very ashamed, in the battle, those sacrificed soldiers were very fierce, they fought against the devils without fear of death, but now he couldn't do anything for them, not even the collection of corpses.

Chen Ergou noticed Liu Gen's depression, patted Liu Gen's shoulder, and comforted: "Genzi, those sacrificed brothers know our situation, and they will not blame us. ”

Liu Gen nodded, signaling that he was fine, so that Chen Ergou did not have to worry about himself.

The speed of cleaning the battlefield was very fast, Chen Ergou knew that time was tight, he didn't let the soldiers clean up too carefully, but just took away the weapons and equipment and ammunition on the devil's body. There is a lot of ammunition found from the devils, and these devils are still very rich, even the previous charges did not make them consume too much ammunition.

And now these ammunition are cheaper than Liu Gen and others, and as for the shells, they have not captured them. The devil is not a fool, and when he fled, he also took the shells of the 92 infantry guns.

Chen Ergou simply looked at the military ranks on these devils, and the biggest military rank he saw among these devils was lieutenant. It seems that the commander of this devil infantry squadron was very cautious, and after finding out that he was not the opponent of Liu Gen and others in the white-knuckle battle, he fled decisively.

However, even if the commander of this devil infantry squadron reacted quickly, in the white-knuckle battle, there were still many devils who were killed. In the white-knuckle battle that the devils took the initiative to charge several times and was attacked by Liu Gen and others this time, the dead and wounded devil soldiers should have a squad and a half, and maybe even more.

After Chen Ergou and the others finished cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Gen asked the soldiers to briefly replenish their ammunition, and then took them to evacuate directly to the depths of Siding Mountain. On the way to evacuate, Liu Gen did not give up letting the soldiers arrange tricks and traps.

Maybe Liu Gen did this, and after being caught up by the devil, he would find the direction in which Liu Gen and the others left. But the tricks and traps laid down can also delay the speed of the devil's pursuit and give Liu Gen and the others enough time to evacuate.

Before Liu Gen ordered the cadets to evacuate, he sent a telegram to the division headquarters, hoping to get support from the troops this time. Liu Gen can be sure that this time the artillery school was found to be completely different from the last time, and the last time was Yoshio Shinozuka's last fight before leaving Shanxi.

The failure of several previous encirclements and suppressions against the Japanese base area made Yoshio Shinozuka not have enough prestige among the units of the First Army of the Devils, and Liu Gen prepared in advance, so that the area where the artillery school is located has become an area where mines and traps coexist, which is very dangerous for the devils and has become a chicken rib in the eyes of the devil troops.

But this time is different, during this time, the devil troops have been frantically looking for the traces of the troops of the Eighth Route Army. For the various units of the devils, finding the troops of the Eighth Route Army is a good opportunity for them to make meritorious contributions, and the arrival of the new commander Iwamatsu Yoshio wants to see their achievements.

Now it is difficult to find a unit of the Eighth Route Army, unless the casualties of the devil army are really too much for them to bear, the devil army will not easily stop the pursuit of Liu Gen and the others.

Relying only on the troops in his hands, Liu Gen was not sure that he would be able to deal with the pursuit of the devils, and he needed to be supported by other troops, only in this way could he ensure their safe evacuation.

On the way to evacuate, Liu Gen and Chen Ergou were both at the back of the team, which was to prevent any devils from catching up. During this period, Chen Ergou also wanted Liu Gen to return to the middle of the team so that the soldiers could better protect him, but this was rejected by Liu Gen.

Liu Gen's refusal made Chen Ergou very helpless, and he found that he had no reason to persuade Liu Gen at all. If he was worried that Liu Gen did not have enough combat effectiveness, then when he took the initiative to launch an attack on the devil, he clearly saw Liu Gen's combat effectiveness.

Among them, Liu Gen's marksmanship made his eyes shine even more, Chen Ergou is a veteran of using a pistol, but he found that Liu Gen is more powerful than him in a pistol. As for hand-to-hand combat, it was needless to say anything, even in the night, Chen Ergou could find the fiery gaze of the soldiers looking at Liu Gen from time to time.

There was no way to let Liu Gen leave, and Chen Ergou could only follow Liu Gen's side, hoping that he would be able to protect Liu Gen when he encountered danger.

"Ergou, how much did we sacrifice in this battle with the devil?" Liu Gen looked at Liu Gen and couldn't help but ask.

From the team, Liu Gen can see the changes in the team, and even more obvious changes in the number of fighters, but he wants to know a clear number.

"103 people were killed, 23 were wounded, 5 were seriously wounded, and less than 150 troops were able to continue the fight." Chen Ergou said in a deep voice. In order to be able to evacuate safely, the battle with the devil is inevitable, but even so, such a sacrifice is still a bit too great.

Most of the soldiers were sacrificed in white-knuckle battles, and the combat effectiveness of this devil infantry squadron was not weak, and there were many old devils who were good at fighting, if it weren't for Liu Gen and the soldiers fighting to the death, then the sacrificed soldiers would probably be more.

"Compared with the devils, our combat effectiveness is still not enough!" After a moment of silence, Liu Gen said with a sigh.

Liu Gen was a little unable to accept this casualty figure, but he knew that there was no way to do it, even if the soldiers trained hard every day, but compared to the devils, the training time of the soldiers was still a little too short. What's more, the soldiers did not eat well during training, and they could only be said to be full.

It is because the artillery school has the material support of the division headquarters, and Liu Gen has not relaxed the training requirements for the soldiers, so that they can eat and train every day. Among the many troops of the Eighth Route Army, there are not many who can eat enough every day.

Is there a way to do this, the devil's frantic sweep of the anti-Japanese base areas, as well as the natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past two years, have led to the fact that the grain output in the anti-Japanese base areas is not much. In order to raise materials, the various units have used a lot of methods, and there are not many that can be supplied with sufficient materials like the artillery school.

"Have you been able to get in touch with the evacuated trainees? Don't let them wait for us to catch up, let them run directly in the direction of Huangya Cave. Liu Gen considered the safety of the students and said to Chen Ergou.

Chen Ergou naturally didn't have any opinions, what did they choose to stay behind to resist the devil's progress? Isn't it just to ensure the safety of the students? Chen Ergou still knows something about Huangya Cave, he stayed in the division headquarters before, and heard it from the division commander.

The terrain of Huangyadong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is an arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, in order to ensure the safety of the Huangyadong Arsenal, the headquarters also specially sent a special mission to defend. Even if there are devils who are several times more powerful than the attack, the defense of Huangya Cave will not easily have problems.

It can be said that as long as the students arrive at the Yellow Cliff Cave, then there is no need to worry about their safety.

"Genzi, you also take some of the soldiers to the Yellow Cliff Cave, just let me run with these devils for a few days, I don't believe that these devils can keep up with me all the time." Chen Ergou looked at Liu Gen, and also wanted Liu Gen to enter the Yellow Cliff Cave.

Liu Gen is the principal of the Artillery School, he is very important, without Liu Gen, then the Artillery School is no longer complete. Cultivating the first batch of students is not the end for Liu Gen, he still needs to train more students to appear, for Liu Gen's safety, Chen Ergou is willing to use himself as bait.

"No, I'm here, I can rest assured."

"If I really let me go back to the Yellow Cliff Cave, it will be safe, but I will definitely be worried about you all the time, and I won't be able to settle down." Liu Gen shook his head and refused.

Liu Gen knew the danger outside, but he was extremely reluctant to let him give up these fighters and let Chen Ergou take the soldiers as bait to attract the attention of the devils. In Liu Gen's view, he and the soldiers have always been the same, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed, it is impossible for him to watch the soldiers risk their lives to entangle with the devil, but he stays in the Yellow Cliff Cave.

Seeing Liu Gen's refusal, Chen Ergou had no words, and he knew that Liu Gen would refuse. Looking at Liu Gen in front of him, Chen Ergou became more and more silent, the team was constantly advancing, he walked a few steps slower, landed behind Liu Gen, found an opportunity, tightened his right hand, and smashed towards Liu Gen's neck.

Liu Gen didn't have the slightest defense against Chen Ergou, and only after his palm knife fell, Liu Gen reacted, but he fainted directly before he had time to say anything.

Some soldiers heard the movement and looked towards the location of Chen Ergou and Liu Gen, and they could see that Liu Gen fainted directly, which made them startled.

"Battalion commander, what's wrong with Instructor Liu?"

"yes, why did you faint all of a sudden?"

"I think I heard something just now......

“……”

The soldiers quickly surrounded and looked at Liu Gen with some concern, they were all worried that something was wrong with Liu Gen's body. In the white-knuckle battle, Liu Gen worked very hard, but there was no big wound on his body, which was a bit abnormal in the eyes of the soldiers.

Even if Liu Gen's strength is good, how can he not have too many wounds under the constant fighting? Now Liu Gen suddenly fainted, and in the eyes of the students, it was very likely that Liu Gen's assassination had attacked.

"Don't worry, Instructor Liu was knocked out by me."

"After spending so much time with Instructor Liu, everyone should know his ability clearly, our battalion was sent to the artillery school to do security work, and the most important thing is to protect Instructor Liu."

"Now our situation is too dangerous, I am going to take some brothers as bait to lure the devils, and the other brothers are responsible for sending Instructor Liu to Huangya Cave, where there is a regiment of our troops, and according to the terrain there, it is enough to resist the attack of the devil troops."

“……”

Chen Ergou did not hide the fact that he knocked Liu Gen unconscious, and chose to do this, because he knew that unless he did this, it would be impossible for Liu Gen to leave. For the sake of Liu Gen's safety, Chen Ergou can only make this decision.

The soldiers fell silent, they looked at Liu Gen, and there were no questions. The fighters knew the importance of Liu Gen, and they all knew that without Liu Gen, then there would be no artillery school. Besides, Liu Gen's combat effectiveness is so strong, let Liu Gen live safely, then Liu Gen will definitely be able to kill more devils in the future,

"Next, the comrades who are willing to be bait with me to lure the devils away stay, and those who have parents to take care of at home should not stay." Chen Ergou looked at the soldiers present and shouted.

The warriors looked at each other, and soon they made a decision, under Chen Ergou's gaze, the warriors took a step in unison, and they all wanted to follow Chen Ergou as bait to lure away the devil. Maybe with Chen Ergou as bait, they are very likely to die, but the soldiers are not afraid of death.

What's more, as long as you can get rid of the devil troops, then it's not impossible to survive!

"What are you guys messing around? Give it all to Lao Tzu back! Lao Tzu doesn't need too many people, just twenty or thirty, what's the problem with all of you standing up now? ”

"Niu Da, I remember that you still have an old mother at home, what are you doing standing up?"

"And you Liu Dachao, you have cubs, and you are still impulsive?"

“……”

Chen Ergou scolded loudly, but the soldiers didn't make any movements, and their footsteps didn't move in the slightest. Looking at these soldiers, Chen Ergou kept scolding angrily, just scolding angrily, but his tears wet his eyes.

"You! Fuck it! Lao Tzu is still not your battalion commander? Go back! Rush to Huangya Cave with Instructor Liu! Chen Ergou took a few breaths and scolded loudly again.

In order to be able to let the fighters leave, Chen Ergou came directly to the fighters, stretched out his hand and pushed these fighters hard, he didn't want these fighters to die with him. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Ergou couldn't lead away the devil troops alone, then he would rather go alone than take the soldiers with him.

Under Chen Ergou's full push, the fighters were pushed by him, and they could only keep holding back. Seeing this, the soldiers didn't wait for Chen Ergou to push themselves, so they took the initiative to retreat. In the end, Chen Ergou selected twenty-five warriors to follow him as bait to lure the devil troops away.

The rest of the warriors were responsible for bringing Liu Gen to Huangya Cave, and after a brief explanation, Chen Ergou asked the warriors to leave with Liu Gen, while he took the warriors to lay various traps and tricks here.
