took out the binoculars and looked in the direction of the devil's attack, Liu Gen could see that this devil's army was not very strong, it should be just a devil's infantry squad.

It is impossible for a devil infantry squad to take Warm Springs Town, even if there are only soldiers from the artillery battalion, they will definitely be able to successfully defend Warm Springs Town. What's more, there are still Camp Chief Zhang and Xue Bing and others in Nuanquan Town.

"Battalion Commander Wang, let the comrades of the artillery battalion hide in their positions, unless it is the devil who takes the initiative to attack, we will not take the initiative to shoot."

"In addition, let a comrade go to Xue Bing and them, such a battle, let Xue Bing and them go." Liu Gen put down the binoculars and commanded seriously.

Compared with the artillery battalion, the guards led by Xue Bing naturally have more combat experience, and their marksmanship can be compared with that of the devil soldiers. With Xue Bing and others here, coupled with the existence of a defensive position, it is impossible for the devil to rush up.

Battalion Commander Wang had obvious helplessness on his face, he knew that Liu Gen would not let the artillery battalion easily participate in such a battle, which made him somewhat disagreeable. As soldiers, they are ready to die at any time after they go to war.

Now, because of their status as artillerymen, Liu Gen will try his best to protect their lives.

Liu Gen did this, which did reduce the casualties of the artillery battalion to a certain extent, but for the soldiers of the artillery battalion, Liu Gen's protection was their shame, and only the weak would need protection.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion do not want to be considered weak by Liu Gen, they do not want to be protected by Liu Gen all the time, they are not afraid of sacrifice, they are only afraid that they will not have the opportunity to participate in the battle.

"Camp Commander Wang, don't think about it, I understand your thoughts."

"The reason why you are not allowed to participate in the battle now is because you need to hide for the time being, so as to inflict more damage on the devils."

"What's more, the devils are not stupid, this devil infantry squad must have also discovered our defensive position, they will only try to attack at most, and they will not easily attack with all their strength."

“……”

Battalion Commander Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and his frowning brows were also relaxed, he knew that what Liu Gen said was right, the chance of the devil directly attacking with all his strength was very small, and there were still many opportunities for the artillery battalion to fight. Battalion Commander Wang no longer hesitated, and quickly arranged Liu Gen's order, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion were a little puzzled, but they still hid directly in the position, and no one showed their heads.

Xue Bing and the others quickly rushed to the position, and after learning that this was Liu Gen's order, Xue Bing and the soldiers of the guard company did not hesitate and came directly to the position. When they came to Nuanquan Town, Xue Bing and the others wanted to fight the devils, and now that they had the opportunity to fight, Xue Bing and the others were a little impatient.

After entering the position, Xue Bing looked directly in the direction where the devil was attacking, and was immediately a little disappointed when he found that it was just an infantry squad of devils. Xue Bing thought that there was a devil attack, so Liu Gen would directly use their guard company, who knew that it was just an infantry squad of devils.

A devil's infantry squad, Xue Bing hasn't put it in his eyes yet, he clearly knows the battle of the guard company, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation, the devil's infantry squad will not be much of a threat. Now that they have a strong enough defensive position, Xue Bing and the others will naturally be more relaxed when dealing with this devil infantry squad.

Liu Gen looked at the soldiers of the guard company who had entered the position, and he could see that these soldiers had serious expressions, and they were not slacking off or careless because the devil was just an infantry squad.

"Xue Bing, you kid get serious about Lao Tzu! Don't be careless! Liu Gen yelled at Xue Bing.

From Xue Bing's performance in the position, Liu Gen could see that Xue Bing didn't take this devil infantry squad to heart, Xue Bing was good at everything, but he was a little too easy to be proud. In battle, pride is not advisable, too much pride, it is easy to lose a small life in battle.

"Yes!" Xue Bing's expression was straight, and he didn't dare to continue to be proud.

Xue Bing didn't look back, but he was sure that Liu Gen was keeping an eye on his every move, and if something really went wrong, he would inevitably be punished by Liu Gen as soon as possible.

The devil infantry squad approached quickly, and when it was still three hundred meters away from Nuanquan Town, the devil infantry squad stopped directly. The Devil Infantry Squad was very cautious, they noticed the changes in Warm Springs, and also found defensive positions outside Warm Springs.

After briefly observing the defensive position outside Nuanquan Town, the leader of the devil squad decisively ordered the other devil soldiers to stay in place and wait for the arrival of other troops.

"It seems that this devil squad is a bit smart, and there is no idea of a tentative attack at all." Liu Gen saw that the ghost soldiers chose to be stationed, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.

Battalion Commander Wang nodded, judging from the performance of this devil team, it is indeed a little smart. Battalion Commander Wang knew very well what the situation of the reinforced defensive position was, and it was impossible for a devil infantry squad to take the defensive position, and there would only be worthless casualties.

"Xue Bing, your kid's chance to perform has arrived, I want to see how much combat power the guard company can exert in your hands!" Liu Gen looked at Xue Bing and said with some expectation.

Needless to say, Xue Bing's personal strength, among the people present, there are not many people who can confidently defeat Xue Bing. Now, Liu Gen wants to take a look at Xue Bing's command ability, and with the situation of the guard company, he still needs a certain level of command to take the initiative to attack the devil infantry squad.

A truly capable commander needs to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy with a limited number of troops, while reducing his own casualties. Only in this way can he be called a capable commander, and Liu Gen hopes that Xue Bing will be such a commander.

In the position, Xue Bing was slightly stunned, he didn't react at first, until he reacted, and after glancing at Liu Gen quite excitedly, he quickly arranged for the next guard company to take the initiative.

Xue Bing didn't understand why Liu Gen would let the guard company take the initiative to attack, but since Liu Gen had given such an order, Xue Bing naturally wanted to try his best, and then let Liu Gen see his ability. was not directly led by Liu Gen to participate in the battle, Xue Bing knew that it was a little dangerous for him to continue to stay by Liu Gen's side as a guard.

Otherwise, as Liu Gen's guard, how could he not be taken by Liu Gen?

Xue Bing also knew why Liu Gen was dissatisfied with him, this time he came to Nuanquan Town with the guard company, just to make up for his impression in Liu Gen's eyes, he needed to let Liu Gen see his own ability, only in this way could he stay.

With Xue Bing's ability, as long as he wants to, then there will be no problem with any unit of the 120th Division. But Xue Bing knew that by following Liu Gen's side, he could learn more and get more improvements.

The army worships the strong, and Liu Gen is a strong man in Xue Bing's eyes, a strong man who he can't surpass in a short period of time!

After a simple arrangement, Xue Bing directly led a part of the soldiers of the guard company towards the position of the devil infantry squad, while the remaining soldiers of the guard company were holding machine guns, ready to shoot at any time and prepare to support Xue Bing with firepower.

Seeing Xue Bing's arrangement, Liu Gen was still quite satisfied, and he could see that Xue Bing was not a reckless man, and he also knew that some of the soldiers of the guard company were left.

When they were still two hundred meters away from the devil infantry squad, Xue Bing and the others stopped, they took out the 38 rifle they were carrying, and after quickly aiming, they chose to shoot.

The sound of gunfire rang out, the gunfire was not dense, and there were not many people who could hear the shots.

"Withdraw! Retreat! The Devil Squad Leader gave the order to retreat as soon as possible, and from the gunshots, he could judge the direction in which Xue Bing and the others were, but the Devil Squad Leader didn't have any idea of fighting back.

After leaving behind twenty or thirty corpses, the devil infantry squad completed its retreat, and in a short period of time, the loss of this devil infantry squad was nearly half.

The marksmanship exposed by Xue Bing and the others was too accurate, so that the devil squad leader did not have any idea of counterattacking and firing on the spot, he knew that staying and shooting might cause some casualties to Xue Bing and others.

But staying will also allow his infantry squad to be left intact.

Retreating to a relatively empty area, the devil squad leader's face was extremely ugly, and he did not make an attempt to attack, he was indeed smart. But the next attack made the devil squad leader realize his own shortcomings, and he underestimated the Eighth Route Army troops defending Nuanquan Town.

The leader of the devil squad didn't think that the Eighth Route Army troops in Nuanquan Town would take the initiative to attack, and in his impression, the Eighth Route Army troops would not have any courage to fight head-on with the Imperial Japanese Army, but who knew that this Eighth Route Army unit actually chose to take the initiative.

"Ask for help again! Ask the headquarters to send an infantry brigade to support, there is a high probability that the main force of the Eighth Route Army will exist in Nuan Quan Town! The Devil Squad Leader commanded angrily.

The devil's communication soldiers hurriedly sent a telegram asking for help, judging from the Eighth Route Army that shot just now, there should not be many troops of the Eighth Route Army in Nuanquan Town. But the devil messenger knows that he just needs to do his part.

As for whether there is the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Nuanquan Town, after the troops of the Imperial Japanese Army take Nuanquan Town, there will naturally be an answer.

The leader of the devil squad once again ordered the devil soldiers to be stationed and rest, but this time, the devil squad leader was much more cautious, even if he was resting, he also arranged a certain amount of ghost soldier vigilance to avoid being touched by Xue Bing and others again.

Seeing that there was no chance to continue the attack, Xue Bing withdrew to the position with the soldiers, because the devils had been staring at the relationship, Xue Bing and them could not clean up the battlefield smoothly, and it was difficult to get the good things on the devil soldiers who were killed.

Xue Bing didn't take the risk to get it, and he was able to take advantage of the devil's unpreparedness to successfully kill twenty or thirty devils, and he was already very satisfied.
