I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 442 The Days in Yan'an
After leaving the division headquarters, Liu Gen headed towards Yan'an.

In order to reach Yan'an as soon as possible, Liu Gen chose to walk in a straight line, which involved passing through several areas occupied by devils.On the road, Liu Gen also encountered troops patrolling by devils, but because Liu Gen was careful enough, the devils did not find Liu Gen's trace.

When passing through Qinyuan County, Liu Gen was discovered by the puppet army. The puppet army originally wanted to pursue Liu Gen, but after Liu Gen killed a puppet army with two shots, they decisively chose to give up.These puppet troops were still some distance away from Liu Gen, so they were easily killed by Liu Gen. They really waited until they rushed to Liu Gen's side.I don't know how many more will be killed by Liu Gen.

Without devils around, these puppet soldiers were unwilling to fight Liu Gen to death. They attacked Liu Gen just to see if they could easily take Liu Gen down and make a contribution.After realizing that they would need to pay a considerable price to win Liu Gen, they gave up the idea of ​​taking action against Liu Gen.

In the areas where the devils occupied the counties, Liu Genyou found that the people in these areas had a very difficult life, and he even saw that many villages were destroyed by the devils.Liu Gen could also see that the devil troops in these areas patrolled very strongly.

With such a strong patrol force, if the Eighth Route Army troops really attacked them, then these devils would definitely be able to react in the shortest possible time.

When Liu Gen arrived in Yan'an, it was already mid-August, and he spent a full week on the road.

"Genzi, you are finally here." As soon as he arrived in Yan'an, Liu Gen met an acquaintance, the former Captain Niu of the Artillery Team of the 386th Brigade.

Seeing Captain Niu, Liu Gen was also quite surprised. He knew that Captain Niu was transferred to Yan'an, but he didn't expect to see Captain Niu when he first arrived. Originally, when Liu Gen came to Yan'an, he planned to come to see A Captain Niu, he wanted to tell Captain Niu that the Artillery Team of the 386th Brigade had done a very good job under his previous leadership.

Even if Liu Gen doesn't have time to return to the Artillery Team of the 386th Brigade, he has been paying attention to the performance of the Artillery Team in various battles, and in all kinds of battles, the Artillery Team has performed quite well.Even without Liu Gen, the captain, the soldiers of the artillery team were very brave in combat.

It is precisely because the artillery team has been performing very well that Liu Gen wants to tell Captain Niu about the recent situation of the artillery team. Otherwise, even if Liu Gen came to Yan'an, he would not go to Captain Niu.The development of the artillery team is very good, Liu Gen will have the courage to meet Captain Niu.

"Captain Niu, I didn't expect to see you when I first came to Yan'an."

"How is your health now?" Liu Gen asked with concern.Liu Gen could see that Captain Niu looked much older than when he stayed in Brigade 386, which made Liu Gen couldn't help worrying about Captain Niu's physical condition.

Liu Gen had a good impression of Captain Niu, and when he took over the artillery team, Captain Niu also helped him a lot.

"Don't worry, my body is fine. I should last a few more years. It's just that I was comfortable in Yan'an when I was not in the brigade headquarters. I didn't fight, and I always felt that something was missing." Captain Niu patted his chest hard. , said with a smile.

Seeing Captain Niu's performance like this, Liu Gen was sure that Captain Niu really didn't have a big problem. Even if there were some minor injuries on his body, it shouldn't have much impact.

For soldiers, after leaving the army, there are some minor injuries on their bodies. A lot of training every day makes the soldiers have enough combat effectiveness, but it will inevitably leave them with some hidden injuries during the training.

Even Liu Gen is not sure whether there are hidden wounds in his body, and these hidden wounds will not be exposed until he reaches a certain age.

"Let's go, you finally came to Yan'an, boy, first find a place for you to have a good rest." Captain Niu walked towards the room prepared for Liu Gen. Liu Gen will live here all the time during his stay in Yan'an.

Liu Gen checked the time. It was still early. He was a little tired from the journey, but not too tired.Thinking of the letters in his backpack, Liu Gen had no idea of ​​taking a break, so he might as well send the letters in his backpack as soon as possible while it was still early.

"Captain Niu, I'm actually not that tired. I think it's still early, why don't you let me deliver the letter that was brought to Yan'an."

"These letters are written by the teachers and the others to their families. I believe that their families also want to receive the letters as soon as possible. I can feel relieved by sending these letters to their own hands earlier." Liu Gen stopped, He opened his mouth and said to Captain Niu.

Captain Niu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the teachers to have such trust in Liu Gen. It seemed that the teachers only asked Liu Gen to send the letter back to Yan'an, but this also represented the teachers' trust in Liu Gen.

"Are you really okay, kid? Don't hold on." Captain Niu was still a little worried about Liu Gen's health.

Captain Niu clearly knew how many areas occupied by devils he had to pass through from the division headquarters to Yan'an. Along the way, no matter how good Liu Gen's ability was, it still required a lot of energy.Only a courageous young man like Liu Gen dared to cross the area occupied by so many devils alone.

If Captain Niu were to come, then Captain Niu would not have enough confidence to go through the area occupied by so many devils alone without any problems on the way, which is too difficult.

"Captain Niu, I'm really fine." Liu Gen confirmed.

Seeing Liu Gen made up his mind, Captain Niu only needs to take Liu Gen to find the place where the teacher and his family are located one by one, and the two are riding horses, otherwise it will be difficult to send all these letters in a short time of.

Of course, Liu Gen, who had just arrived in Yan'an, was not familiar with the environment in Yan'an. With the leadership of Captain Niu, he was able to find the specific place where the teacher and his family were located so quickly.To be able to send these letters out so quickly, Liu Gen needs to thank Captain Niu well.

On the way back, Captain Niu and Liu Gen led the horses and walked casually. They kept talking and talking about what happened to each other.

After Captain Niu came to Yan'an, he was transferred to the artillery regiment of the headquarters as the battalion commander, and was responsible for training the soldiers on weekdays.After knowing that Liu Gen was coming to Yan'an, Captain Niu kept counting the time and asked for two days off to pick Liu Gen up.

Fortunately Liu Gen came to Yan'an today, otherwise Captain Niu's vacation will be up in one day, if Liu Gen doesn't come, it will be difficult for him to see Liu Gen in the first place.

"It hasn't been long since the headquarters artillery regiment returned to Yan'an?" Liu Gen asked curiously.

Captain Niu nodded, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Is the situation in the base area so serious? The artillery regiment of the headquarters will definitely play an important role in the battle against the devils if it stays in the base area."

"Is it too nervous to transfer the headquarters artillery regiment back to Yan'an?"

Feeling Captain Niu looking at him, the smile on Liu Gen's face disappeared, and he said helplessly: "Captain Niu, you are not in the base area these days, and you are not very clear about the serious situation in the base area."

"Before leaving, the commander of the Devil's First Army, Shinozuka Yoshio, mobilized a large-scale army to encircle our anti-Japanese base area. Perhaps it was the last madness. This time the encirclement and suppression was extremely severe, and the base area was greatly damaged. And in After the new commander of the Devil’s First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, took office, he continued to organize troops to fight against the Japanese bases and carry out raids.”

"In just a few months, the devils carried out raids in the anti-Japanese base areas more than ten times, large and small. Facing the crazy raids of the devils, we can only choose to avoid their edge and enter the base of the anti-Japanese struggle in the base areas. extremely dire situation."

"..."

Liu Gen seriously described the situation in the base area for Captain Niu. It was true that he had been staying in Huangyadong, but he could also learn about the specific situation in the anti-Japanese base area.Faced with the constant raids by the devils, each unit could only disperse the troops, so as to avoid being found by the devils.At the same time, because the devils continued to build gun towers and strongholds in the base area, the scope of the base area was reduced.

However, even though the situation in the anti-Japanese base areas is very severe, the soldiers still have great hope for the development of the anti-Japanese base areas. Even if the devil's sweeping efforts are intensified again, the soldiers have the confidence to persevere.

"No wonder the artillery regiment of the headquarters was transferred back to Yan'an. Given the situation in the base area, the artillery regiment would not be of much use if it stayed there. Instead, it would be very likely to be exposed and suffer crazy attacks from the devils." Captain Niu understood. come over.Captain Niu didn't have a clear understanding of the situation in the base area before, so he naturally felt that it was unnecessary to transfer the artillery regiment from the headquarters. Now that he understands the specific situation in the base area, he can naturally understand the good intentions of the headquarters.

After learning about the harsh environment of the Anti-Japanese War in the base area, Captain Niu didn't have much to say, and there was obvious solemnity and worry on his face.

"Captain Niu, in fact, you don't have to worry too much about the situation in the base area. The difficulties will only be temporary. When something goes wrong with the devil, it's time for us to fight back." Noticing the changes in Captain Niu, Liu Gen comforted him.

Captain Niu smiled wryly, and put his worries about the base area deep in his heart. He knew that no matter how worried he was about the soldiers in the base area, he would have nothing to do as he stayed in Yan'an.Captain Niu looked at Liu Gen beside him, and there was a little more expectation in his eyes. There are many outstanding young people like Liu Gen in the base area. With these young people, the base area should be able to continue to develop.

Take Liu Gen back to the arranged room. The room arranged for Liu Gen is not big, there is only one room, but this room is relatively close to the bosses in Yan'an, which is undoubtedly an honor.

Captain Niu is now the battalion commander of the Artillery Regiment of the Headquarters, and he lives in the Artillery Regiment. He is alone and has no family members, so living in the Artillery Regiment is undoubtedly the most suitable.After talking with Liu Gen for a while, Captain Niu chose to leave. After receiving Liu Gen, he successfully completed the task and could continue to train the soldiers of the artillery regiment with peace of mind.

After sending Captain Niu away, Liu Gen didn't hang around outside either. He returned to his room, ate two mouthfuls of dry food, and fell asleep directly.

On the way to Yan'an, Liu Gen couldn't sleep peacefully by himself. He needed to be vigilant at all times to avoid encountering enemies.Now that he had successfully arrived in Yan'an, Liu Gen didn't have to worry about any danger he would encounter, and he relaxed accordingly, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Liu Gen woke up, it was already the next day, and there were soldiers waiting for him outside. The bosses knew that Liu Gen was coming to Yan'an for the first time, so they specially arranged for the soldiers to follow Liu Gen to facilitate Liu Gen's life in Yan'an these days. .

Liu Gen was a little moved, the bosses were so busy, they even specially arranged a soldier for him.

With a soldier following him, Liu Gen's life in Yan'an was undoubtedly much more convenient, but this time Liu Gen came to Yan'an and didn't have much time to hang out.On the second day after arriving in Yan'an, Liu Gen was called by the bosses and asked about the situation in the base area. At the same time, Liu Gen also knew his mission.

This time Liu Gen's task in Yan'an is very simple, that is, to tell about his experience in establishing an artillery school, and to give lessons to the soldiers of the artillery regiment of the headquarters if he has time.Since the Artillery Regiment of the Headquarters also left the base not long ago, the soldiers of the Artillery Regiment of the Headquarters had also heard of Liu Gen's name and achievements.

It's just that when they were in the base area, because the artillery regiment of the headquarters had many combat missions, and Liu Gen also had a lot of things to do, the soldiers of the artillery regiment of the headquarters could not see Liu Gen's artillery skills with their own eyes.Now that Liu Gen has come to Yan'an, the soldiers of the artillery regiment will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

Of course, Liu Gen came to Yan'an for other things, such as explaining some problems that they could not understand for radar experts. Under the conditions of Yan'an, it is still possible to try to build a radar.As for the large-scale construction of radar, it is naturally unbearable. In fact, building a radar is the result of the insistence of the bosses.

In the eyes of the bosses, the construction of radar is very necessary. Liu Gen's radar technology is very good, and some experts in the headquarters are unanimously optimistic.Even though it is difficult to build radars on a large scale due to the current conditions, it is still very meaningful to successfully build a radar, and it can also complete a lot of technical accumulation in the process of building radars.

After learning that the headquarters had the idea of ​​building a radar, Liu Gen was a little surprised. He knew the situation of the headquarters and the materials and conditions needed to build a radar. Building a radar was not an easy task.But Liu Gen is also aware of the benefits of building a radar. At least with the radar, he can detect the fighter planes of the devils earlier and avoid the air strikes launched by the devils.

In terms of building the radar, Liu Gen can only give little help, and can only solve problems that experts cannot understand.The most important thing to build a radar is the material aspect, and Liu Gen can't get these out, he can only give enough knowledge to solve some problems in radar construction.

During his stay in Yan'an, Liu Gen was very busy and tired every day, but Liu Gen felt that this kind of life was very fulfilling, and he liked it a little bit.
