In the division hospital, Liu Gen looked helpless, he was injured again.

Looking at the wound on his body that had been treated, Liu Gen tried to get up, but he could feel an obvious pain coming from the wound, and the wound seemed to have the possibility of being torn. Seeing this, Liu Gen could only give up the idea of getting up, and looked around, he found that there was no one else in the room, only himself.

During this time, the battles between the various units of the Eighth Route Army and the devils were not frequent, which made the division hospital a lot easier. If it is placed in the time of frequent fighting, it is impossible for the division hospital to have vacant beds, but if it can, Liu Gen still hopes that there will be more beds in the division hospital, which will also mean that the casualties of the soldiers will be reduced.

Lying on the hospital bed and thinking about his performance in the battle, Liu Gen was making a battle summary, and in this battle, there were some problems with his choice. Because the location of the artillery bombardment was too close to the devil's position, this caused Liu Gen to be strafed by the devil's light machine gun, and if Liu Gen set the artillery position a kilometer away from the devil's position, then there would definitely not be a problem easily.

But if you want to kill the light machine gun of the devil, choosing to shorten the distance between you and the devil's position is the most correct choice. It takes a while for the shells to fly, and shelling the Devil Light Machine Gun from a distance of kilometers will give the Devil Light Machine Heavy a few seconds to react, giving them some room to dodge.

It was precisely with this in mind that Liu Gen chose to shoot at the devil's light machine gun at such a close distance. Things proved that he did a good job, and successfully killed the devil's two light machine guns, and even attracted the attention of the devil's light machine gunner, so that the soldier successfully killed the devil's other light machine gun. It was also because Liu Gen attracted the attention of the devil's light machine gun that the soldiers of the first battalion did not have so much pressure when attacking.

Otherwise, if the devil's three light machine guns were really shot at the soldiers of the charging battalion, then the soldiers would have suffered a lot of casualties, so to speak, Liu Gen successfully saved the lives of many soldiers at the cost of his own injuries.

Constantly summarizing his performance in battle, Liu Gen knew that he could do better, he could completely ask the soldiers to help build a basic artillery position, and then let the soldiers carry out a tentative attack. This attack on the devils was a bit too hasty, so that Liu Gen didn't have time to build a basic artillery position, which was also an important reason for his injury.

Once the basic artillery position is constructed, if nothing else, at least Liu Gen will not be strafed by the devil's light machine gun so easily.

Just thinking of the fighters that came from the devils later, Liu Gen could only smile bitterly, if you take into account the factors supported by the devil's fighters, it is also the best choice for the independent regiment to attack the devils in the shortest possible time. Wasting a certain amount of time to build an artillery position for Liu Gen is likely to lead to the fact that the devil fighters will attack before the fighters have rushed to the devil's position, and at that time, the offensive of the independent regiment will definitely be suppressed.

Liu Gen shook his head and no longer thought about this matter, during the battle, the situation changed too much, and no one knew what would happen in the next second. Liu Gen looked at the various injuries on his body, none of which were serious, nor were they fatal. Based on Liu Gen's injury experience, such an injury should be recovered in half a month.

Half a month's time is still within the acceptable range of Liu Gen, of course, Liu Gen also knows that half a month can only allow himself to get up and act, and if he wants to really recover, it is impossible without a month.

This is also due to Liu Gen's physical fitness is good enough, and other fighters will be in danger if they are so seriously injured and bleeding too much. Liu Gen, on the other hand, has a strong physical fitness, which allows him to have a greater survival rate after being injured, and to recover in the shortest possible time when receiving treatment.

"Bang"

The door was opened, and a nurse walked in pushing other patients in, and Liu Gen looked at the soldier who had been pushed in, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Nurse. Was this sent from the Independence Regiment? Is his name Wei Dayong? ”

"How's his injury? Is there a danger to life? Liu Gen asked with an anxious face.

Liu Gen stared at the monk's position, he didn't expect that the monk who had been fighting bravely on the battlefield would also be injured, and even said that his life would be in danger. At this time, Liu Gen could see that the monk's face was extremely pale, and he was still in a coma and had not woken up. It's just that because the monk was covered by the nurse, Liu Gen couldn't see his injuries.

"That's right, he is Wei Dayong sent by the Independent Regiment."

"He has just undergone surgery and is not out of danger for the time being, so as long as he can wake up and there are no other problems with the wound, then there is no danger to his life. If you have time to worry about him, Comrade Liu Gen, you might as well worry about yourself, your state is not good, you are bleeding, and if you want to recover completely, it is not something that can be done in a short time. The nurse said to Liu Gen.

When Liu Gen was just sent over, it alarmed many people in the division hospital, and all those who saw Liu Gen's injuries were a little silent. After the operation, the doctor found five or six bullets from Liu Gen's body, and if any one of the bullets hit Liu Gen's fatal part, then Liu Gen would definitely die directly.

Due to too many injuries on Liu Gen's body and serious blood loss, a lot of blood was transfused for Liu Gen during the operation. Fortunately, a soldier with the same blood type as Liu Gen was found in the division hospital, otherwise it would have been quite difficult for Liu Gen to survive the operation. Even if there was a blood transfusion during the operation, Liu Gen's condition was still a little bad, but now that Liu Gen can be seen waking up, it means that Liu Gen is out of danger.

Next, Liu Gen only needs to stay in the division hospital to continue treatment to avoid infection of the wound, and then he should be able to recover slowly.

"My body, I know very well, shouldn't be too much of a problem." Liu Gen said with a smile.

Liu Gen's face was a little pale and her smile was a little ugly, but in the eyes of the nurse, she couldn't help but admire Liu Gen.

"In any case, Comrade Liu Gen should receive good treatment next, I am the nurse in charge of the two of you, both of you are combat heroes, I hope you can all cooperate well and recover well, so that you can return to the battlefield as soon as possible." The nurse said with a serious face.

Liu Gen hurriedly smiled: "Cooperate!" Definitely cooperate! ”

After placing the monk in place, the nurse left the ward temporarily, and she needed to report the news of Liu Gen's awakening and ask the doctor to check Liu Gen's injuries again. As the nurse in charge of Liu Gen and the monk, this nurse needs to stay in the ward every day, and then keep track of Liu Gen's recovery from his injuries and make sure that there will be no problems between them.

Looking at the monk lying on the hospital bed, Liu Gen was extremely worried, hoping that he could wake up early.

Two days later, the monk woke up from a coma, and he was in a coma for two days and two nights, which made Liu Gen think that it was difficult for the monk to wake up. During this period, many doctors in the hospital also came to check on the monk's condition, hoping to contribute to the monk's treatment.

When Liu Gen found out that the monk woke up from a coma, he immediately called the nurse in the ward, asking her to check the monk's condition as soon as possible, and being able to wake up from the coma meant that the monk was successfully out of danger.

Soon, a doctor from the hospital came to quickly check the monk's state, and Liu Gen didn't have time to say a word to the monk before he saw that he was taken directly from the ward by the doctor for treatment.

But seeing the monk being taken away directly, Liu Gen's worry in his heart was directly reduced, and he believed that the doctors in the division hospital, as long as there was a glimmer of hope for survival, then they would do their best to treat them. It is best if the monk is taken away for treatment, and if these doctors continue to keep the monk in the ward and give up the treatment of the monk, it will make Liu Gen extra concerned.

The monk's treatment took a long time, and a full afternoon passed before the monk was returned to the ward. When the monk returned to the ward, Liu Gen could see that although the monk's face was still pale, his condition had improved slightly.

Knowing that the monk was very weak, Liu Gen didn't say much to the monk, so he let the monk rest.

Time continued to pass while Liu Gen and the two were recuperating from their injuries, and the units of the Eighth Route Army in the outside world were developing in a low-key manner, and the strength of the independent regiment was replenished again. According to this situation, even if the development of the units of the Eighth Route Army is a little slow, it will still be considerable.

……

In Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, summoned the officers of various subordinate units of the First Army, and the failure of several battles with the Eighth Route Army made Yoshio Iwamatsu feel a deep crisis. The crisis of being replaced by oneself.

Iwamatsu Yoshio has not forgotten his predecessor, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, because of the failure of the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army's base area. After one or two failures, Iwamatsu Yoshio can still fail, but the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army's base area has not achieved the desired effect, so how can Iwamatsu Yoshio continue to do it?

For this reason, Iwamatsu Yoshio anxious all the officers of the various units under the First Army, in order to hope that they would maintain sufficient combat enthusiasm in the next encirclement and suppression operation against the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and strive to achieve the desired combat results.

Originally, Iwamatsu Yoshio did not pay much attention to the base areas of the Eighth Route Army in the rear occupation area, but after he took over, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were very low-key and hardly carried out much combat operations. However, a telegram from the headquarters of the North China Front Army two days ago made Iwamatsu Yoshio choose to organize the officers of all units of the First Army to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army's base area in the future.

"Gentlemen! I received an order from the headquarters of the North China Front Army to let my First Army clamp down on the development of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and once again launch the encirclement and suppression of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"What do you think?" Iwamatsu Yoshio looked at the officers present with a serious expression.

The officers present were speechless, as if they had not heard Iwamatsu Yoshio's words, and these devil officers knew very well that if they said too much, they would lose. Unless they really had an idea, it wasn't the right choice to speak up, and no one knew that what they said would be appreciated by Commander Iwamatsu Yoshio.

It's a pity that none of these officers of the First Army have any ideas, and they who have fought with the troops of the Eighth Route Army are very aware of the difficulties of the Eighth Route Army troops. Unless there are enough troops to attack, encircle and suppress the base area of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to kill the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and enough troops means that every area of the base area of the Eighth Route Army will not be spared. But is this possible? It's simply impossible.

The devil officers knew very well that the troops of the Eighth Route Army were not fools, and what they were best at was guerrilla warfare.

The concept of guerrilla warfare is simple, but if you want to carry out guerrilla warfare, you need to be familiar with the surrounding situation, and in any case, the soldiers in their hands cannot be as familiar with the surrounding area as the Eighth Route Army.

"Yaga! You are all soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire! He is a warrior of the Great Japanese Empire! Can't even think of anything to do in the face of rats hiding in the occupied zone? Iwamatsu Yoshio's face was ugly, and he scolded angrily.

From these officers of the First Army, he could not see any pride belonging to the soldiers of the Empire, only a deep numbness and dullness.

Seeing that there was still no reaction from these officers, Iwamatsu Yoshio gave up the idea of continuing to reprimand, and he realized that his reprimand would not have much effect. It's just that these people, as officers of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio has some doubts about whether the next encirclement and suppression will be successful, and if he fails again, then he will inevitably be reprimanded by the army base camp.

After the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the battle between the Empire and the United States began, and the Empire's battles in the Pacific region were very smooth, except for the attack on the Chinese mainland into a stalemate.

The success of the Pacific War made the army base camp eager to make progress in the offensive on the Chinese mainland, and it was very necessary to maintain the stability of the occupied areas if they wanted to attack again. The Imperial Army base camp did not want to see the front-line troops fighting, and there would be further problems in the occupied areas in the rear, and the transport routes would be disrupted, which would affect the fighting of the front-line troops.

"The encirclement and suppression of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army in May is the top priority! Our First Army will receive the attention of the North China Front Headquarters and the Army Base Camp! In any case, this encirclement and suppression operation cannot fail! Yoshio Iwamatsu said coldly.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

“……”

After learning that the encirclement and suppression operation would receive such attention, the officers present all became serious, they could not guarantee whether the encirclement and suppression operation would be successful, the only thing they could guarantee was to avoid problems for themselves, not to seek no success, but to seek no fault!

At the beginning of May, all units of the First Army began to draw troops, and because there were many places that needed to be defended, coupled with the stalemate between the front-line troops and the Nationalist Army, the First Army was able to draw a lot of troops, and at most 18 infantry brigades could be dispatched to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army's base areas.

Among them, the 223rd Wing and the 224th Wing of the 36th Devil's Division participated in the battle, each of which formed an advance team composed of elite soldiers, which was responsible for going deep into the base area of the Eighth Route Army, looking for the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and attacking the commander of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army!
