Chapter 521: Arriving at the 120th Division
On 10 February, Liu Gen left the division headquarters and headed for the position where the 120th Division was located.
The 120th Division is a certain distance from the 129th Division, and Liu Gen rarely paid attention to the relevant information of the 120th Division before, he is a member of the 129th Division, how can he pay attention to these? What's more, Liu Gen has a lot of things to do every day, and he doesn't have enough time to pay attention to the situation of the 120th Division.
When he left the division headquarters, Liu Gen was somewhat reluctant, if he could, he didn't want to leave the 129th Division, after all, he stayed in the 129th Division for too long, people are old animals, and Liu Gen is too. Compared with the 129th Division, which he is very familiar with, the 120th Division is a little too unfamiliar to Liu Gen, but unfortunately, he still needs to go to the 120th Division.
Liu Gen knew that with the importance of the division commander and the bosses to him, he chose to stay in the 120th Division, so the division commander would definitely agree to Liu Gen's request and let Liu Gen continue to stay in the 129th Division.
But Liu Gen didn't choose to do this, he knew that he couldn't stay in the 129th Division all the time, even if he stayed in the 129th Division, there was not much he could do, and for the current 129th Division, he had done enough, and he also needed to let the 129th Division have a certain amount of time to digest it. For the current 129th Division, the most important thing to do is to transform what Liu Gen gave into combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
In the eyes of the division commander and the bosses, Liu Gen has too much potential to be tapped, and they hope that Liu Gen can get out of the 129th Division and go to other units to increase his knowledge. The division commander and the boss want to cultivate Liu Gen and tap more potential of Liu Gen, so that Liu Gen can truly grow into a pillar of the country.
In order to ensure Liu Gen's safety, when Liu Gen left, the division commander specially asked Liu Gen to select two soldiers who were not weak as guards, which made Liu Gen very moved. In Liu Gen's situation, the two guards were somewhat unsuitable, but the division commander still arranged it this way, and he didn't want Liu Gen to encounter any danger.
Liu Gen could only accept the kindness of the division commander, and when selecting the guards, he deliberately selected two young soldiers, and the strength of both of them was not weak. Of course, if these two fighters are compared with Liu Gen, then naturally they cannot be compared. In Liu Gen's opinion, choosing two young fighters to follow him can teach these two fighters something to some extent, at least to make them stronger.
As for relying on these two fighters to protect himself, Liu Gen did not have such an idea, and with his strength, he did not need the protection of these two fighters.
Wang Lei and Wang Jun are the names of these two warriors, and the two are relatively rare twins, and in this era, twins are somewhat rare. It is only because of the poverty of their families that Wang Lei and Wang Jun can only choose to join the army, and only in this way can they have enough rations. Half of the eldest child eats the poor old man, in order to be able to raise Wang Lei and Wang Jun as adults, their parents can be described as quite hard.
chose to join the Eighth Route Army, also because Wang Lei and Wang Jun clearly knew the poverty of their families, coupled with the aggression of devils, they realized that only the Eighth Route Army could kill devils and reduce the burden on their families. And without Wang Lei and the two of them, their parents at home can also relieve some pressure and don't have to work so hard.
Liu Gen also learned about Wang Lei and the two from the division commander, and before leaving the base area, he specially asked Wang Lei and the others to go home to visit their families, and after leaving, they didn't know when they would be able to come back. Originally, knowing Wang Lei and the others, Liu Gen wanted to keep them, but after Wang Lei and the two learned about it, the two were unwilling to stay, they wanted to follow Liu Gen.
In this regard, Liu Gen didn't have any good solutions, so he could only smile bitterly and let the two of them follow him.
"Leizi, how is the situation in your family?" On the way, Liu Gen and Wang Lei chatted.
Wang Lei scratched his head, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood, "The situation at home is okay, with the allowance sent back by the two of us, the basic life is still fine." Our two brothers are at home, and they have also seized the time to cultivate some land, and when the harvest is harvested, life in the family should be better. ”
Wang Jun on the side was speechless, compared to Wang Lei, his words were not much, and when Liu Gen and the two were chatting, he looked around vigilantly to avoid encountering any enemies.
"That's good, when it's almost time to harvest, I'll give you two boys a vacation so that you can go home and help." Liu Gen said with a smile.
Wang Lei was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Hehe, then thank you in advance." ”
"No thanks, it's just a small thing." Liu Gen waved his hand and said casually.
Looking at Wang Lei and the two beside him, Liu Gen was somewhat envious, they could still have a home to go back to, but what about him? After a moment of silence, Liu Gen regained his strength and accelerated his speed towards the position where the 120th Division was located.
I have to say that with Wang Lei and Wang Lei, Liu Gen was in a good mood along the way. If he was alone, even if he was used to not talking, there would be some problems, but now there are no problems, which makes him not have much resistance to Wang Lei and the two as his guards. Wang Lei's strength is not weak Liu Gen, but in the company of the two, Liu Gen can have a better state, thinking about this is why the division commander must assign himself with guards.
The 120th Division is a certain distance from the 129th Division, and the 120th Division received an order from the headquarters to set up its headquarters in Yan'an, which makes it take a lot of time for Liu Gen and others to rush to the 120th Division. In addition, there are many devil puppet army units in the area through which they pass, and the speed of Liu Gen and the others has been affected to a certain extent, according to Liu Gen's estimate, it will take at least a week to reach the 120th Division smoothly.
Unlike the situation of the 129th Division, the situation of the 120th Division was a little more complicated, its area of operation was in the northwest of Shanxi, but its headquarters was the headquarters of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningjin-Sui Joint Defense Army in Yan'an. When Liu Gen went to the 120th Division, he first needed to go to Yan'an, and after reporting to the headquarters, he would officially go to the 120th Division.
When Liu Gen and others came to the periphery of Liao County, Liu Gen also deliberately went to an independent group, and this time he left, he didn't know when he would be able to come back, and it was still very necessary to say goodbye to Li Yunlong. At the same time, Liu Gen also wanted to know what Li Yunlong would do next after being quiet for so long, and he was still very curious about this.
Back to the independent regiment, naturally there is nothing to say, the independent regiment is Liu Gen's hometown, Li Yunlong and others are very enthusiastic, they welcome Liu Gen's arrival very much. When he knew that Liu Gen was going to the 120th Division, Li Yunlong was a little reluctant, he knew that Liu Gen went to the 120th Division, so it would not be so simple to see him again.
If it weren't for Liu Gen and Zhao Gang to stop him, then Li Yunlong would probably call the division commander directly and beg the division commander not to let Liu Gen leave the 129th Division.
From Li Yunlong's mouth, Liu Gen also learned some of Li Yunlong's thoughts, the independent group was so quiet, in order to make a big move. As for Liu Gen's inquiry, Li Yunlong chose to keep it secret and didn't say too much, but judging from Li Yunlong's expression, he was sure enough about the next big move.
After seeing that Li Yunlong was sure enough, Liu Gen didn't have the idea of asking in detail, he believed that with Li Yunlong's ability, unless there was any accident, there would be no big problem at all.
After spending a night in the Independent Regiment, Liu Gen chose to leave, although the division commander did not say when he would arrive at the 120th Division, but it was better to arrive early.
After leaving the Independent Regiment, Liu Gen and the others hurried a lot slower, especially when passing through some areas with strong control by the devil puppet army, they could only choose to rush at night for safety. And rushing at night will have some impact on the speed, and in this regard, Liu Gen and the three of them are very patient.
And on the way, Liu Gen found that many times it was not the devils and puppet soldiers who caused trouble to himself and others, but those bandits hiding in the mountains. These bandits relied on their familiarity with everything in the mountains to occupy areas that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the devil puppet army had no interest in exterminating these bandits, which made the bandits even more rampant.
Liu Gen and others encountered a lot of bandits, and during this period, some bandits took the initiative to attack Liu Gen and others, which greatly affected the speed of Liu Gen and others. It is also Liu Gen's marksmanship that is strong enough that makes them have a little confidence in the face of bandits, otherwise they will easily have problems in the face of bandits' attacks.
Under the guidance of Liu Gen, Wang Lei and Wang Jun both got some experience, and their marksmanship improved a little. Wang Lei and Wang Jun stayed in the division headquarters almost all the time when they joined the Eighth Route Army and experienced battles, but in Liu Gen's eyes, their combat experience was still too little.
The appearance of these bandits has greatly increased the combat experience of Wang Lei and the others, at least they will not vomit after killing people. And the bandits didn't expect that they would become a tool to hone Wang Lei and the two, and there were some problems with being able to become bandits, not to mention that they took the initiative to find their own trouble, and Wang Lei and the two would not have any psychological burden when they made a move.
The battle between Wang Lei and the bandits made Liu Gen clearly see their strength, and even discovered their shortcomings. Wang Lei and the two have a good foundation, but they see too little blood, and when they fight with bandits, they can't give full play to their strength, if they are sent directly to the front line, then it may be difficult to survive the brutal battle.
The bandits along the way have become the best tools to hone Wang Lei and the two, with Liu Gen here, even if Wang Lei and the two are not the opponents of the devil, Liu Gen can also kill the bandits in time.
Time kept passing like this, a week later, Liu Gen and the three came to Yan'an safely, and in the past week, there were at least a dozen bandits who died in the hands of Wang Lei and the two, and the two of them had a lot of changes, and there was a little more murderous aura on their bodies.
Liu Gen is still very satisfied with the changes of Wang Lei and the others, and he doesn't want Wang Lei and the two to have nothing to gain by his side. And after experiencing the battle with the bandits, Liu Gen didn't have to worry about the combat effectiveness of Wang Lei and the others, and when he encountered the enemy, he could also rest assured that they would assist him.
Returning to Yan'an, Liu Gen felt a little emotional, it has not been too long since he came to Yan'an last time, but coming to Yan'an again made him feel like a world apart, which may also be due to the fact that Liu Gen has experienced a lot of things during this time.
took Wang Lei and the two to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningjin-Sui Joint Defense Army Headquarters, and after the soldiers at the headquarters reported, Liu Gen met with the commander of the 120th Division.
Before coming to the 120th Division, Liu Gen had seriously asked about Division He from the division commander, and from the division commander's mouth, he learned that Division Commander He was very good, and it was not so difficult to get along. It's just that even so, Liu Gen was still a little apprehensive when he saw Master He.
"Comrade Liu Gen, our 120th Division is finally waiting for you!"
"Comrade Liu Gen, I have heard about the artillery school and special operations squad that you personally established with your own hands in the 129th Division, which greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the 129th Division, allowing the 129th Division to successfully surpass our 120th Division. I asked the bosses of the headquarters several times to come to our 120th Division to help, but I never got the bosses' consent. ”
"This time, Comrade Liu Gen came to our 120th Division, and I hope that Comrade Liu Gen can also help our 120th Division to establish an artillery school and a special operations team." Master He was very enthusiastic, and when he saw Liu Gen, he was even more smiling. His eyes were full of appreciation for Liu Gen.
Liu Gen doesn't know Master He very well, but Master He knows Liu Gen quite well, and he has always been paying attention to Liu Gen. When Division Commander He first learned about Liu Gen, it was Li Yunlong who successfully led the new regiment to break through head-on from the encirclement of the Devil Sakatian Wing, and at that time, Division Commander He also asked the commanders at all levels of the 120th Division to seriously study this battle case.
It was also because Division Commander He had carefully understood this battle that he knew about the existence of Liu Gen, an artilleryman, and then Liu Gen made a lot of military exploits several times, and when Liu Gen successfully shot down the devil's fighter plane with mortars, Division Commander He had a deeper understanding of Liu Gen.
It's just that at that time, Division Commander He didn't pay too much attention to Liu Gen's artillery skills, but it was impossible for him to ask the 129th Division for an artillery, not to mention that the 129th Division could not easily give such a powerful artillery to the 120th Division. It wasn't until Liu Gen helped the 129th Division successfully establish an artillery school and a special operations team, which made Division Commander He truly realize Liu Gen's ability, so that he applied to the bosses several times, hoping that Liu Gen would come to the 120th Division.
In the face of Commander He's application, the bosses refused several times, because Liu Gen's affairs in the 129th Division had not yet been completed. And this time Liu Gen completed his task again, and the 129th Division had nothing to do for the time being, so the bosses agreed to Commander He's application and let Liu Gen come to the 120th Division.
"Master He, don't worry, I met the bosses before I came to the 120th Division, and the bosses told me to conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by you, Master He!" Liu Gen said very seriously.
Master He laughed, he patted Liu Gen on the shoulder, but he became more and more satisfied with Liu Gen.
