On 5 June, Zhang Dabiao returned to the regiment headquarters with a battalion for replenishment, and Liu Gen saw Zhang Dabiao, and after a hurried few words, Zhang Dabiao left again.

On Zhang Dabiao's face, Liu Gen could see obvious exhaustion, and it was obvious that the battle on the front line was not easy. Even Zhang Dabiao, a fierce general, is under a lot of pressure, Li Yunlong wants to go to the front line to fight with the soldiers, but now that he is engaged in guerrilla warfare, he Li Yunlong has no good way to get to the front line.

However, the information learned from the brigade commander also let Li Yunlong know that the large-scale battle with the devil would not be too far, and the brigade commander was also ready to deal with the devil! The devil's appetite is very great, and the troops mobilized by the devil are found in the eastern, southern, and northern directions of the base area.

The development of the base area of the Eighth Route Army made the devils feel a great threat, and at the same time, the Eighth Route Army continued to launch sabotage operations on railways everywhere, making the devils unguardable! Even if the devils are constantly strengthening the implementation of cage tactics, the actions of the various units of the Eighth Route Army make the cage tactics of the devils unable to have the effect they should have. In particular, the destruction of the newly built Nanguan Railway Station made the devils more and more angry.

Under the organization of Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the North China Front Army, the encirclement and suppression of the base area of the Eighth Route Army was launched. Yoshio Shinozuka made sufficient preparations for the encirclement and suppression of the base area of the Eighth Route Army this time, and mobilized the main force of the 3rd, 9th, and 16th brigades, the 26th and 41st divisions, together with the puppet army, a total of about 25,000 people!

When Li Yunlong learned such news from the brigade commander, he also understood that the devil's actions this time were not small, and the devil's army lieutenant general Yoshio Shinozuka organized the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base area many times after he took office as the commander of the 1st Army.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka organized many encirclements and suppressions, he still failed to win the encirclement and suppression, but every encirclement and suppression led to heavy casualties among the devils! This time, Yoshio Shinozuka once again organized the encirclement and suppression of the base area of the Eighth Route Army, so that all units of the Eighth Route Army were ready to fight.

The Devil's Independent Mixed Brigade is the local garrison of the Japanese Army, which cannot be compared with the Devil's Standing Division in terms of firepower and mobility. Generally speaking, the devil's independent mixed brigade has jurisdiction over 5 independent infantry brigades, and there are also 4 or 6 independent infantry brigades, and the brigade belongs to special forces including artillery, cavalry, engineers, and baggage soldiers, with a strength of about 5,000 people! Compared with the standing divisional regiments, the infantry brigades under the independent mixed brigades had only three infantry squadrons, which was one squadron less than the subordinate brigades of the standing divisions, and the infantry artillery squads were eliminated.

At the same time, the independent mixed brigade has a cavalry brigade and an artillery brigade, and its combat effectiveness is not weak compared with the Eighth Route Army. In the artillery brigade, there are four Type 41 75mm mountain guns and eight Type 38 75mm field guns, which can provide more than 5 kilometers of fire strike depth!

With the condition of the artillery company, the mountain artillery and field artillery of the devil will not have the slightest resistance at all, as long as the artillery company dares to expose its position, then it will usher in the artillery fire of the devil.

After knowing the relevant information from Li Yunlong's mouth, Liu Gen's mood was extremely heavy, damn, how should I fight this? Unless it is less than two kilometers away from the devil's artillery position, the mortar and infantry guns in the hands of the artillery company can pose a threat to the devil's artillery position! And the artillery battery has such an opportunity? Liu Gen felt a little hanging.

Leaving the regiment headquarters and returning to the artillery company, Liu Gen's expression was solemn, and he also knew that it would not be the devils of the brigade who fought against the independent regiment, but at most it would only be a brigade of devils, but Liu Gen still felt a deep powerlessness. With the condition of the artillery company, in the face of the devil's artillery, it is easy to pose a threat to it at all.

Looking at the soldiers who were training in the artillery company, Liu Gen smiled bitterly, he was not ready to tell the soldiers such information, which really made people a little desperate. Even Liu Gen has enough confidence in himself that his artillery fighting skills are not weaker than the elite artillery of the little devil, but he is not sure that he will lead the artillery company to defeat the devil's artillery.

After training with the soldiers of the artillery company, after a while, Liu Gen calmed down, and he found that he was thinking a little too much. The battle between the independent regiment and the devils will only be based on guerrilla warfare, and will not choose to fight the devils head-on.

The devil dispatched so many troops to fight the devil head-on, and with Li Yunlong here, the independent regiment could not hold out.

Knowing that there would be no head-on collision with the devil's artillery, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, not that he had the ambition of a devil, nor that he was afraid of devils, but that the mortar had an artillery battle with the devil's mountain artillery and field artillery, and the chance of victory was too small! It may not be within the range of the mortar, but the devil discovered the artillery company and carried out artillery shelling directly from a distance, and the artillery company could not resist it at all.

If Liu Gen also had mountain artillery and field artillery in his hands, then he would not have too much fear in the face of the devil's artillery. But helplessly, Liu Gen did not have mountain artillery and field artillery in his hands, and in the 386 Brigade, there were few mountain artillery and field artillery, let alone in the independent regiment.

Explain that the squad leader took the soldiers to continue training, and Liu Gen was wandering around, he needed to seriously think about what the artillery company should do in the next battle. There were quite a few mortars in the artillery company, originally there were three, plus the five transferred by Li Yunlong, there were as many as eight.

The number of mortars is enough, but the number of shells is not enough, and if you really fire the artillery with all your might, there may not be a few rounds, and the shells will be used up completely! Zhang Dabiao and others on the front line were constantly fighting with the devils, and there were not many captures, and as for the artillery shells, there were no shells at all.

That is, mortar shells cannot be replenished in a short time, and Liu Gen is having a headache for this problem.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

There was a shout of killing and the sound of horses' hooves not far away, and Liu Gen looked ahead, and could see that in the open space not far away, there were soldiers of a cavalry company training hard. And among them, a man with a long beard, who looked to be forty years old, and had short hair, attracted Liu Gen's attention.

In a group of young soldiers, this man can be a little conspicuous, Liu Gen's eyes lit up, is this Sun Desheng that Li Yunlong used five machine guns to exchange for the new regiment?

Looking at the cavalry company in training, Liu Gen found that the training of the soldiers of the cavalry company was very good, and he could clearly feel their edge. The fighters' combat skills are trained very skillfully, and it should not be far from being able to go into battle to kill the enemy, and there should be a lot of credit for Sun Desheng.

"Company Commander Liu?" When Liu Gen observed the cavalry company, Sun Desheng, who was training with the soldiers, saw Liu Gen, he knew Liu Gen, but he had not had much intersection with Liu Gen.

Unlike Liu Gen, Sun Desheng's cavalry company had not yet been trained, and Li Yunlong naturally would not let him participate in any combat missions, which made Sun Desheng not appear at the regimental headquarters many times. But even so, Sun Desheng also knew Liu Gen, but Liu Gen's achievements with the artillery company were too dazzling.

In the independent regiment, there are almost no soldiers who don't know that Liu Gen, the commander of the artillery company, destroyed the headquarters of the Bantian Wing with one shot, blew up the devil's artillery position in the Battle of Qidong Mountain, raided Wanjia Town, and destroyed the devil's stronghold with infantry artillery, all of which had the figure of Liu Gen, the commander of the artillery company, in these battles, how could this make the soldiers not notice Liu Gen?
