While Liu Gen and the others were resting, the main force of the 129th Division was attacking the encircled devils.

The devil's combat effectiveness is not weak, and after knowing that he was surrounded, the devil quickly found a terrain conducive to defense and was stubbornly defending. The units of the 129th Division continued to attack the devils, but due to the presence of devils' fighters in the air, in the face of the powerful firepower of the devil's fighters, the soldiers of the various units attacking the devils suffered many casualties.

During the battle, the warriors were red-eyed, and one by one the heroic warriors roared and rushed towards the devil's defensive position. The artillery of the devils has long been killed by the main force of the 129th Division, and the devils in the encirclement have been able to hold out for such a long time entirely because of the crazy cover of the devil's fighters.

At the same time, the devils on all sides are rapidly approaching, wanting to use the devils in the encirclement as bait to eliminate the main force of the 129th Division. The battle continued, and after the attack of the 129th Division during the day, most of the high ground defended by the devils was lost!

After night fell, the soldiers launched another fierce attack, and without the existence of the devil fighters, they successfully took the high ground defended by the devils and successfully annihilated these devils here.

At the moment before taking the defensive high ground, the division commander sent the order to evacuate to all troops, and the battle in the Yuliao area made the devils aware of it, and more and more devils came to this area for reinforcements. In the direction of Yangquan, more than 1,000 Japanese troops moved south to reinforce them, and in other directions, the Japanese troops were even more mobilized.

Considering that the 129th Division had frequent battles during this period, the soldiers were relatively fatigued, and the casualties were large, they judged that the Japanese troops in Liaoxian, Yushe and other areas might take advantage of the situation to 'sweep' the area north of Taihang Mountain, so they decided to end the Yuliao Campaign.

The independent regiment and the 772nd regiment attacking and defending north of Liao County were also ordered by the division commanders, and their goal of blocking the devil's reinforcements had been achieved, and the division commanders ordered them to return to the base area for rest. Considering the casualties of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, the division commanders also hope that the two regiments can absorb and replenish the troops nearby and make adequate preparations for the upcoming anti-'mopping-up' campaign!

In the defensive position, night fell, and it did not affect the devils to continue to attack the position. In the afternoon, after the Devil's reinforcements arrived and the troops were replenished, the Devil once again decisively launched an attack on the defensive position.

This time, the devil had the cover of the artillery and took the initiative to launch an artillery bombardment on the exposed position of the artillery company, but the devil's reinforcements arrived, and Liu Gen had already transferred the artillery position with the soldiers, so he knew that the devil would move on the artillery position.

The devils have artillery, which is undoubtedly a lot more arrogant, but these devils also know these defensive dirt roads, the artillery technology is very powerful, and the shelling is also quite accurate! In order to prevent the newly arrived artillery from being killed by the artillery battery, the devil placed the artillery in a relatively safe position, thousands of kilometers away from the front-line positions.

After launching an artillery bombardment of the artillery positions of the artillery company, the devil's artillery chose to hide again and did not choose to continue the shelling, also to prevent their positions from being exposed. Really calculated, the newly reinforced artillery of the devil cannot be compared with the artillery company in terms of firepower.

After all, the current artillery company has two regiments of mortars, the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, even if the artillery skills of ordinary soldiers cannot be compared with Liu Gen, but the lethality that can be caused cannot be underestimated.

After the devil's artillery hid, they never chose to fire again, they wanted the artillery company to take the initiative to fire, so that they could also find an opportunity to shoot against the artillery company. With the combat effectiveness of the devil artillery, as long as they can react in a short time, they can really cause a lot of casualties to the artillery company.

Liu Gen also knew this, so he simply let the 60mm mortar carried by Zhang Qiang disperse into the defensive position, and once there was any unsolvable devil in the front-line defensive position, he could directly use the mortar to kill the devil. The artillery company did this, but it still caused a lot of trouble to the devil artillery, and if they didn't choose to open fire, then they could still maintain a lot of deterrence.

And once they choose to open the cannon, then they are afraid that they will change from hunters to prey, and they can shell so accurately, which shows that these artillery of the earth eight roads are not weak. In the end, the devil's artillery still did not dare to choose to dispatch easily, and the devil's artillery was not weak, from the sound of artillery and observation, they determined that the range of the artillery in the defensive position was limited and could not threaten their rear.

In the face of such a difficult devil artillery, Liu Gen was also a little helpless, with the devil artillery waiting on the sidelines, he naturally couldn't shoot easily. Even Liu Gen didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't have any problems in the devil's shelling.

Besides, after the devil artillery is hidden, it will be difficult to find the specific location where they are, and if they open fire rashly, they will not be able to pose the slightest threat to the devil artillery, so naturally they cannot choose to do so.

When night fell, when he got the retreat from Li Yunlong, Liu Gen directly ordered the soldiers to disassemble the mortars in their hands first and prepare to retreat. As for continuing to shell the devils, naturally there is no need, and before Liu Gen does not use 81mm mortars, the devils will not choose to open fire easily.

Liu Gen is not a fool, he knows that he wants to retreat, and he has to continue to engage in a wave of artillery battles with devils, this kind of operation is too wise, he can't do it.

When Yu Jin left the artillery company with the soldiers, he could see obvious depression on his face, and chose to take Liu Gen with him, because they wanted to learn something from Liu Gen's cannonball. But who would have thought that the devil's artillery would be so cowardly, except for a few shots when they first came, there was no more sound. knew that this would be the case, so Yu Jin took the initiative to choose to go to Zhang Qiang's side, at least he could control the mortar to join the battle.

After watching Yu Jin leave with the soldiers, Liu Gen was also relieved, and did not choose to attack the devil artillery, and it was these soldiers who failed to react in the first time. Otherwise, Liu Gen could have launched an attack on the devil artillery within the time when the devil artillery fired a few shots.

It's a pity that the soldiers of the artillery company suffered a lot of casualties, and many of them were sent by Liu Gen to follow Zhang Qiang, and there were not many soldiers who stayed with Liu Gen. In addition, the soldiers of the artillery company of the 772nd Regiment had just arrived at Liu Gen's side, and they were not able to cooperate with each other, so it was naturally impossible to launch a counterattack against the devil artillery at the first time.

The soldiers of the artillery company were ordered to return to the county seat of Liaoxian County in advance to prepare for retreat, and Liu Gen was ready to follow Li Yunlong, he knew that the devils would not easily let the independent regiment and the 772nd regiment leave, and there would still be a lot of skirmishes tonight!
