Chapter 347: Kong Jie's Invitation
Bidding farewell to Dean Li, Liu Gen wandered around the border hospital, also trying to find Kong Jie.
After staying in the border hospital for so long, it was not easy to meet Kong Jie, an acquaintance, and Liu Gen naturally wanted to talk to him. In the previous battle of Guanjiayuan, Liu Gen was not able to participate in it, and now that he met Kong Jie, he naturally wanted to understand the specific situation of the battle of Guanjiayuan.
The Okazaki brigade, which successfully killed the devils, caused a great deterrent to the devils who swept the base area, and in the past few days, Liu Genyou heard that the devil's troops continued to withdraw from the base area.
In the base area, the consumption of devils is also a lot, not to mention the devils who were killed by the Eighth Route Army, and it is also a little difficult to supply materials in peacetime. The terrain in the anti-Japanese base area is complicated, and if the devils want to supply supplies, they need to return to the corresponding stronghold. But in the depths of the anti-Japanese base area, there is no stronghold of devils at all, and it is naturally impossible to replenish it.
The Okazaki Brigade of the devils had fought with the troops of the Eighth Route Army due to the sweep in the base area before. A large amount of materials and ammunition were consumed, which made them choose to defend in the Guanjiayuan area, and they were unable to pull out the encirclement formed by the units of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
"Deputy Head Kong, good morning, how are you recovering from your injuries?" Coming to Kong Jie's side, Liu Gen asked respectfully.
Liu Gen is still quite respectful to Kong Jie, he knows that Kong Jie is a good fighter for fighting devils. Before staying in the independent regiment to be Li Yunlong's deputy commander, it was because in the Yangcun encounter, the independent regiment suffered too many casualties and lost the battle, coupled with Li Yunlong's intercession, Kong Jie was left by the division commander in the independent regiment as the deputy commander. If it weren't for Li Yunlong's intercession, then even if Kong Jie had made a lot of contributions, I am afraid that he would have started as a battalion commander again, or even a company commander.
"I'm recovering well from my injuries and I should be fine in a few days." Seeing Liu Gen coming, Kong Jie was also a little happy.
There are many patients in the border hospital, but Kong Jie doesn't know many people, he walks alone on weekdays, and now that Liu Gen is here, there can be someone to accompany him to chat. Kong Jie admired Liu Gen very much, whether it was in the artillery company of the independent regiment or the artillery team at the brigade headquarters, Liu Gen did quite well. The soldiers of the artillery unit of the brigade headquarters received artillery troops in Liugen, and their combat effectiveness was markedly improved.
Thinking of the key role played by the soldiers of the brigade artillery team in the battle of Guanjiayuan, Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen with a little more heat in his eyes, Liu Gen is a talent, it would be better if he could follow him. It's just that Kong Jie knows that this is impossible, and with Liu Gen's achievements, he has long been valued by the headquarters.
Being able to stay at the brigade headquarters as the captain of the artillery team was strongly requested by the brigade commander, and this time Liu Gen was injured again, and I don't know if the headquarters will let Liu Gen go to the front line. With Liu Gen's talent, even if he can't go to the battlefield, he can do a lot of things, all units of the Eighth Route Army need good enough artillery, and Liu Gen can undoubtedly train a large number of excellent artillery.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Kong, I wonder if you can tell me about the battle at Guanjiayuan? I'd like to know more about it. Looking at Kong Jie, Liu Gen asked tentatively.
Liu Gen didn't know if there was anything that couldn't be said in the battle of Guan Jiayuan, and if there was anything that couldn't be said, then Liu Gen rashly asked, which was naturally a little not good.
"Haha, I knew that your kid was going to ask, and I'll talk to your kid about it today." Kong Jie said with a smile.
Kong Jie still knows a little about Liu Gen, and with such a victory as the Battle of Guanjiayuan, Liu Gen will definitely not be able to help but ask. Kong Jie didn't mind explaining in detail for Liu Gen that in the battle, if it weren't for the accurate artillery bombardment of the artillery soldiers, then in the process of attacking the devil Okazaki brigade, the soldiers would have suffered more casualties.
For Liu Gen to seriously talk about the battle of Guan Jiayuan, Kong Jie said in detail, and while listening to Kong Jie's explanation, Liu Gen's brows furrowed from time to time. Perhaps it was because Liu Gen was a bystander that he felt that there were many problems in the battle of Guan Jiayuan, and some places could be done better.
However, the battle of Guan Jiayuan has ended, and even if Liu Gen says something, it will not have any effect. What's more, Liu Gen believes that the bosses of the headquarters will definitely pay attention to the problems existing in the Battle of Guanjiayuan.
In the battle of Guanjiayuan, the casualties of the soldiers were not small, but the casualties were still within an acceptable range, and it was still very worthwhile to be able to use these casualties to kill the Okazaki brigade of the devils. I just don't know how many were captured in the battle of Guanjiayuan, and I hope to be able to capture more.
Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen and was not surprised to see that Liu Gen's face was not very good-looking. After the battle, all units reviewed the battle, and found a lot of problems, including Liu Gen's artillery team mentioned many times.
In the past, all units of the 129th Division had heard of Liu Gen's name and knew that Liu Gen's artillery skills were quite strong, but they rarely cared about the artillery team led by Liu Gen. And in this battle of Guanjiayuan, all units clearly saw the strength of the artillery team, and other units also had artillery, but compared with the artillery team led by Liu Gen, it was undoubtedly much worse.
"Actually, it's good to be able to get this kind of battle."
"You also know that during this time, our troops have fought frequently, and the combat effectiveness of our units is not at its peak, and casualties are inevitable. Besides, the Okazaki Brigade discovered our Huangyadong Arsenal, and they must not be let out alive! Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen and said comfortingly.
Liu Gen nodded, he naturally knew this, but even if he knew this, he was still a little unacceptable to the casualties of the soldiers. It's just that Liu Gen also knows that there will inevitably be casualties in the war, and the Okazaki brigade that can kill the devils, those soldiers who sacrificed can be regarded as well-deserved.
"By the way, don't you know that the losses of the arsenal are large?" Looking at Kong Jie, Liu Gen asked again.
Kong Jie saw the worry on Liu Gen's face, and didn't understand why Liu Gen was so worried, but he still opened his mouth to explain: "It's not very clear, our independent regiment has been fighting devils on the front line, and we don't know much about the affairs of the arsenal, so I don't think the loss will be too big. ”
"When the devil Okazaki Brigade arrived at the arsenal, most of the things in the arsenal were transferred."
Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, the loss of the arsenal was not too big, he had just drawn out the drawings of the mortar, and was ready to hand it over to the relevant personnel of the arsenal for inspection and start production, so naturally he did not want to be affected in any way.
"Genzi, when I recover this time, I shouldn't be able to return to the independent regiment, how about it? Do you want to form a new infantry regiment with me? Kong Jie suddenly asked.
Suddenly, Liu Gen was stunned, he looked at Kong Jie with surprise on his face, but he didn't expect Kong Jie to invite him like this.
