Chapter 119: Nanguan Railway Station
In the evening, the brigade commander and the brigade headquarters also came to this area, and this time the combat mission of the 386 Brigade was to take the newly built Nanguan Railway Station of the devil.
At the Nanguan Railway Station, the devils have a lot of garrisons, and the strongholds built by the devils along the railway line make the brigade commander have to pay enough attention. Everyone knows that it will not be easy to take Nanguan Railway Station, and the brigade commander also knows that this is a difficult bone to gnaw, which is why the brigade commander chose to come to the town in person.
Soon, a soldier came and informed Li Yunlong, the regiment commander, to go to a combat meeting and assign the corresponding combat tasks.
Liu Gen and others could not go, so they could only wait patiently in the independent regiment, of course, Liu Gen was not idle, he took the soldiers of the artillery company to reconnoitre, to find a suitable position for the artillery company during the battle. Unlike ordinary soldiers, the fighters of the artillery company do not easily rush to the front line, but this does not mean that the soldiers of the artillery company do not have to worry about their own lives.
The devils attach so much importance to the Baijin Railway, and in their stronghold, there will definitely be no shortage of mortars and heavy machine guns. Just by a simple observation, Liu Gen could see that there were a lot of devils in the devil's strongholds, and each stronghold had dozens of devils, relying on a strong stronghold, these devils could still cause a lot of trouble to the Eighth Route Army. Even if the troops of the 386th Brigade succeed in taking the Nanguan Railway Station, they will be surrounded by devils in these strongholds.
Zhao Gang, the political commissar, was not idle, he was appeasing some recruits who had joined the independent regiment for a short time, and these recruits wanted to go to the battlefield on weekdays, but before the battle began, many recruits became nervous. Noticing this, Zhao Gang also became busy, and he needed to let these recruits quickly adapt to the battlefield environment and keep them calm enough.
Kong Jie, the deputy commander of the regiment, was not idle, he scattered many soldiers and maintained sufficient vigilance. I have to say that after experiencing the Yangcun encounter, Kong Jie became a lot more cautious. There are a mixture of open and dark sentinels, and the number is not fixed, so only Kong Jie, the deputy commander, knows how many soldiers are guarding around.
In order to avoid being discovered by the devils, the warriors could only eat dry food and could not make a fire to cook.
Liu Gen led the soldiers of the artillery company to eat the dry food in his hand with cold water, and after pouring a few mouthfuls of water, he was able to swallow the dry food in his mouth. Liu Gen looked at the other fighters, and could see that the faces of many soldiers were a little ugly, and it was very uncomfortable to eat such dry food. But there was no way, the warriors could only grit their teeth and eat dry food, so that at the beginning of the battle, they would have enough physical strength.
"Root, here you go!" Zhang Dabiao came to Liu Gen's side and took out a little pickle.
Liu Gen's eyes lit up, he was so happy to be able to eat a little pickles on the battlefield. As for pickles, Liu Gen ate dry food much faster, with pickles, at least it made Liu Gen eat dry food with a little taste.
"Neko, when do you think we're going to attack?" Zhang Dabiao looked at Liu Gen and asked,
Liu Gen laughed, he knew that Zhang Dabiao would not be so simple when he came to find him, "It should be around the early morning of tonight, all the regiments of our 386 Brigade have rushed to the corresponding combat positions, and it is suitable for us to attack directly in the early morning." Wait until daytime, with the madness of the devils, fighters will definitely be dispatched to deal with the attack of our 386 brigade! ”
"Brother Zhang, you also know that we don't have the means to deal with the devil's fighters, the only thing we can do is to take the devil's Nanguan Railway Station tonight, and then retreat early in the morning to avoid too many casualties among the soldiers."
"Not bad! Genzi, I really didn't misread you. Zhang Dabiao laughed. The conclusion that Liu Gen said was similar to what Zhang Dabiao himself thought, and the brigade commander ordered all regiments to arrive at the corresponding combat positions this evening, undoubtedly because he wanted to take advantage of the night to attack the devils.
Thinking that the battle would start in the middle of the night, Zhang Dabiao looked at Liu Gen with some concern, in such a night, can Liu Gen, an artilleryman, still maintain enough combat effectiveness? In the middle of the night, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to control the infantry cannon to hit the devil's firing hole. Zhang Dabiao knew Liu Gen's performance in the battle before, but he still couldn't help but worry about Liu Gen, this time the battle was very different from the previous one.
To carry out artillery bombardment in the middle of the night, it is necessary to maintain sufficient accuracy, and it is necessary to hit the shooting hole of the devil, which I am afraid it will be difficult for Liu Gen to do.
Zhang Dabiao has observed that the shooting hole set up in the devil's stronghold is in the shape of a figure-eight outside, small inside and large outside. This kind of setting means that it will be more difficult for the artillery to penetrate the stronghold of the devils, and when the artillery is shelling, it is impossible to calculate the size of the shooting hole in the stronghold, right? The inside is small and the outside is large, which means that the shells are likely to explode outside the devil's stronghold, and cannot enter the inside of the devil's stronghold.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I'm fine. Brother Zhang, don't forget, the devil has to shoot, only the devil shoots, so you can see the location of the devil's shooting hole. Liu Genkai noticed Zhang Dabiao's concern and said with a smile.
Liu Gen looked at the moon in the sky, and could see that the moonlight was a little dim tonight, which made him happy. Such a dim moonlight means that it will be more difficult for the devil to find the Type 92 infantry gun, so that it will be easier to catch the devil off guard, it seems that God is helping himself.
Three hours later, Li Yunlong came back from the brigade commander, and his face was not very good-looking.
This time, the brigade commander handed over the task of taking the Nanguan Railway Station to Cheng Blind of the 772nd Regiment, and Cheng Blind also deliberately showed off to Li Yunlong, which made Li Yunlong quite annoyed. Damn, back then, it was he Li Yunlong who taught the blind man how to shoot a gun, but now it's okay, the blind man Cheng still dares to grab the task with him Li Yunlong! The more Li Yunlong thought about it, the more angry he became, why could Cheng Blind lead the 772nd Regiment to attack Nanguan Railway Station, and his Li Yunlong's independent regiment needed to be responsible for cleaning up the devil's stronghold in this area?
"Fuck! I'm so angry! What task did the brigade commander assign to our independent regiment, to uproot the devil's stronghold in this area, damn, what is the difference between this and what we wanted to do to the devil's stronghold around Yang Village before? Li Yunlong shouted loudly.
Zhao Gang frowned, in his opinion, Li Yunlong was quite unnecessary, the brigade commander issued a combat mission, so it would be good for the independent regiment to carry it out! Now that Li Yunlong is shouting here, it will not play any role at all except for making people upset, and the brigade commander will not change his mind easily.
"That's it! Lao Li, don't shout. It seems that you Li Yunlong have also fallen out of favor with the brigade commander, or you Li Yunlong will not be able to do it, and you will not even be able to compete for a good combat mission! Kong Jie was also a little annoyed. Kong Jie also thought that according to Li Yunlong's temperament, he would definitely be able to fight for a good task from the brigade commander, who knew that it would be the task of uprooting the devil's stronghold, such a task was not enough for the independent regiment to plug the teeth!
Li Yunlong's eyes widened, "Kong Er was stunned, what the hell do you blame me?" If Lao Tzu is still in the new group, he Cheng is blind and dares to compete with me for tasks? Will the brigade commander also give the task of attacking the Nanguan Railway Station to Cheng Blind? It's not that I'm coming to the independent regiment, I'm going to fight for the mission, and the brigade commander said that your independent regiment has just lost the battle, so let's be responsible for cleaning up the devil's stronghold first! ”
"You say? How does Lao Tzu fight for it? ”
Kong Jie was stunned, and in an instant, his eyes turned red, "Lao Li!" I, Kong Jie, led the independent regiment to defeat the battle! Now Lao Tzu wants to take the soldiers to win a battle and wash away the shame of our independent regiment! I want to tell the brigade commander that our separate regiment did not disappoint him! Our independent regiment will become the pride of the 386 brigade! Lao Li! I need a combat mission! Fighters also need combat missions! ”
"Lao Li! Count me Kong Jie beg you! You go and beg the brigade commander, let's go to the independent regiment! I can't get off the Nanguan Railway Station, I'll see you Kong Jie! ”
