I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 445 Defense of Huangya Cave ([-])

At dawn, the workers of the Huangyadong Armory had just woken up to wash when they could hear the sound of rumbling cannons.

Without the notification from the heads of various departments, the workers knew that it was probably the devils who were calling. After a short period of panic, they quickly calmed down.The workers had worked in the Huangyadong Armory for so long, and they knew how strong the defense of Huangyadong was, and the devils couldn't easily get in.

Soon, under the arrangement of the heads of various departments, the workers entered the fortifications in a unified manner. As the devil's artillery fire continued to extend, if they continued to stay outside, casualties were likely to occur.

After bringing the workers back to the fortifications that had been prepared long ago, the people in charge, headed by Foreman Qi, began to continuously transfer the precious machine tools. It is safe to stay in the fortifications, but let them watch the machine tools in the arsenal being destroyed , Chief Qi and the others simply couldn't do it.

Considering the safety of the workers, Foreman Qi and others did not mobilize the workers, but many workers still left the fortifications to help Foreman Qi and the others move the machine tools.It's just that the transfer of the machine tools was not so easy. Even after Liu Gen arrived, he ordered the students of the Artillery School to join the team of transferring the machine tools, but failed to transfer a few expensive machine tools.

Liu Gen didn't join the ranks of transferring the machine tools. He was carefully observing the landing point of the Devil's shells, judging how long it would take for the Devil's shells to hit Huangyadong.

From the explosion of the Devil's shells, Liu Gen could tell that the shells that were constantly extending towards the Huangyadong Arsenal came from the Devil's Type 96 Mountain Cannon and Type 150 [-]mm Night Battle Howitzer. The heavy artillery in the mouth of the devil army.

Facing the frenzied shelling of the Devil Artillery Unit, the soldiers of the Special Task Force Headquarters responsible for guarding Huangyadong could only hide in the fortifications and dared not show their heads easily.It is also due to the special terrain of the Huangyadong area that it is difficult for even the devil artillery to cause too much damage to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

If you were to fight the devils in another place, then the heavy artillery, mountain artillery, and mortars of the devils would be enough to firmly suppress the firepower of the headquarters special agent group, and even easily defeat the headquarters special agent group.

At this time, Head Ou had already started commanding the soldiers of the special task force at the headquarters. He kept letting the soldiers enter the various fortifications of Huangyadong to prevent the devils from attacking after the shelling was over.As soon as the devil was discovered, the special task force of the headquarters reported the news that the devil had entered Huangya Cave to the headquarters, which got the attention of the bosses of the headquarters.

After Boss Peng knew that the devil troops had quietly appeared in Huangyadong and took the initiative to attack Huangyadong, he handed over the task of defending the Huangyadong arsenal to the headquarters special task force. Under his command, he was able to complete the security work of the Huangyadong Arsenal well.

Facing the attack of the devil army, Captain Ou did not dare to underestimate it. Since the devil army is equipped with heavy artillery and can be fired from the mountain cannon, the devil should have mastered the relevant information about the Huangyadong arsenal. Taken, they will not retreat easily.As for the support of the surrounding friendly troops, Captain Ou didn't hold out much hope. With so many troops from the Devils, even if there were troops who wanted to support them, it wouldn't have much effect.

What's more, with the firepower displayed by the devil's troops, Captain Ou didn't want troops to come to support them. Without the special terrain conditions of Huangya Cave, if troops really came to support them, there would inevitably be a lot of casualties.When reporting the relevant situation to the headquarters, Head Ou took this into consideration, and I believe the bosses at the headquarters will notice.

Looking at the gunfire that the devil kept looking at, Captain Ou looked solemn. The devil didn't care about the shells so much, it could only show that the devil had enough shells, otherwise such a waste would not be possible.And to prepare enough shells and mobilize so many troops, all of this needs to be based on the devil's determination of the location of the Huangyadong Arsenal.

The devil's action this time can be so fast and well prepared, which undoubtedly shows that someone has exposed the location of the Huangyadong Arsenal, but I don't know who caused the exposure of the Huangyadong Arsenal!
Head Ou kept arranging soldiers from the secret service, he could only hope that he could successfully defend the Huangyadong Armory.The strength of the secret service group is not many, less than 1000 people, but with such a strength, it needs to resist the attack of more than 5000 devils.To be honest, Head Ou is not sure, he doesn't know if he can keep it!

But Captain Ou knew that as long as he was still alive, the Huangyadong Armory would definitely not fall. If the Huangyadong Arsenal was occupied by devils, it would only mean that he had died.

Straightening his military cap, Captain Ou rushed to the front line. He had to be at the front line to command the battle.Only in this way can he ensure that he can grasp the news of the mobilization of the devil's troops in the first time and do a good job of dealing with it.

……

In the Huangyadong Armory, Liu Gen kept calculating the point where the devil's artillery fire would extend. His face was obviously anxious. According to the current speed of the devil's shelling, it would take two more rounds to reach the location of the arsenal.The only good thing is that most of the workers hid in the Huangya Cave, even if the devil's shells hit, there would be no casualties.

Unless the devil artillery successfully drove the shells into Huangya Cave, the workers would be safe enough to stay in Huangya Cave.

"Chief Qi. We can't move these machine tools anymore. The devil's shells are coming soon! Now everyone is retreating into Huangya Cave, and the devil's bombardment is coming!" Liu Gen hurried to Chief Qi Beside, shouted loudly.

Chief Qi stopped what he was doing. He looked at Liu Gen and could see the seriousness on Liu Gen's face.Thinking that Liu Gen was still called the "gun god" by the soldiers, Chief Qi realized the seriousness of the problem. He hurriedly yelled for the workers present to retreat to avoid casualties under the shelling of the devils.

What made Liu Gen and Chief Engineer Qi somewhat helpless was that the workers present and the heads of various departments did not stop their actions, and they were unwilling to give up the machine tools in the workshop.We all know the importance of machine tools, and we all know that it is not easy to manufacture machine tools.Now the conditions of the arsenal have finally improved a little, but they have been attacked by devil troops.

From the perspective of the department heads and workers, even if they all die here, the machine tools must be transferred out.

"Students of the Artillery School listen to the order! Take everyone away immediately! Immediately!"

"Comrades, people are more important than machine tools. Even if these machine tools are destroyed, as long as our people are still there, we can manufacture better machine tools! Comrades, retreat! The devil's artillery extension is coming!" Liu Root shouted loudly.

Under Liu Gen's order, the students of the artillery school who were helping the workers transfer the machine tools also took action one after another. They directly dragged the workers and ran towards Huangyadong.These students all knew that Liu Gen, the principal, was very powerful, and they all believed that there would be no problem with Liu Gen's judgment. The devil's shells were coming soon, so they must be coming soon!

Under the guidance of Liu Gen and the instructors of the artillery school, the students have long understood a truth, that is, as artillery, the most rare unit in the Eighth Route Army, they need to put their lives first.Only to survive.Only then can they better display their own value!
Soon, with the efforts of Liu Gen and others, the heads of various departments of the arsenal and the workers were all taken away from the factory building, and they all rushed towards the location of Huangyadong.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

"..."

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Huangyadong, the devil's shells landed in the factory building of Huangyadong Arsenal. There was a loud explosion, and the factory building was greatly damaged, especially the machine tools in it.The only good thing is that the devils chose to continue to extend their artillery fire instead of bombarding the factory building, otherwise the loss of the arsenal would be even more serious!
"The transfer must be carried out immediately. We received an order from the headquarters to order our arsenal to transfer." Director Xu waited until Liu Gen and others came in, and left to announce.

Liu Gen nodded. This was not beyond his expectation. Before the devils attacked Huangyadong, the Eighth Route Army had noticed it.At the same time, a few days ago, the bosses of the headquarters also visited Huangya Cave and personally surveyed the terrain conditions of Huangya Cave, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.

Liu Gen was a little confused before and didn't understand what was going on, but now Liu Gen understood that the actions of the devil should have been discovered by scouts from the Eighth Route Army.For this reason, the bosses played a big game of chess, and the security work of Huangyadong Arsenal was the top priority!
"Immediately organize the workers to transfer the machine tools, as well as the supplies and ammunition in the arsenal, we can't leave a stitch to the enemy!"

"Starting the transfer work now may be life-threatening, but I hope everyone can persevere. Only when our arsenal completes the transfer work can the comrades responsible for the security work on the front line really feel at ease!" Director Xu said loudly With that said, time is running out, and the transfer of the arsenal must start early.

And the devil's artillery fire has gone far away, and now is the most suitable time to transfer. With the number of machine tools and materials in the arsenal, it will take at least two or three days to complete the transfer!The most important thing is whether the soldiers of the Secret Service Regiment who are responsible for the security work of the Huangyadong Armory can successfully resist the devil's attack for two or three days.

"Genzi, you will stay by my side this time. The bosses hope that you can evacuate safely to prevent you from being in danger."

"Genzi, you are also a powerful artilleryman. I would like to trouble you to observe the movements of the devil artillerymen to prevent us from being attacked by the devil artillerymen." Director Xu came to Liu Gen.He spoke directly.

Liu Gen is a good artilleryman and has a very good record, but in such a battle, Liu Gen can't play a big role at all. No matter how powerful he is, what can he do?One person's strength cannot easily have too much impact on a battle. Compared with letting Liu Gen participate in the battle as an artilleryman, the bosses hope that Liu Gen can evacuate safely and continue to use Liu Gen's ability.

"Why would the bosses give such an order? It's a little too high for me." Liu Gen said helplessly.

Although Liu Gen guessed that the bosses would not let him enter the battlefield easily, he did not expect this day to come so soon. As an artilleryman, not being able to enter the battlefield is the most painful thing!

"Genzi, the bosses are doing this for your own good. Everyone hopes that you will encounter any danger on the battlefield."

"In our arsenal, even if all of us die, you won't have any problems. Even if you die, you must die behind us! Genzi, you are very good. We all think that you are the most important in the arsenal. Without you, the arsenal would not be able to develop so fast!"

"You stay by my side this time, don't run around, let's complete the transfer of the arsenal together!" Director Xu's eyes are full of determination, he knows Liu Gen's ability and the importance of Liu Gen clearly!Even if the bosses didn't tell you, he wouldn't let Liu Gen enter the battlefield easily!

Seeing Director Xu with a firm attitude, Liu Gen could only nod helplessly. Faced with this situation, what can he do?They can only follow the orders of Director Xu.

"Director Xu, how about this? I'll send Wang Chao and his instructors from the Artillery School to the Secret Service Regiment to assist them in their defense. Their artillery skills are pretty good. I believe that with their participation, the soldiers of the Special Service Regiment can easily Some." After a moment of silence, Liu Gen said.

This time, Factory Manager Xu didn't have any opinions. They were able to become the instructors of the Artillery School, and Wang Chao and the others were very capable. Having them join the secret service team would indeed play a lot of roles.

After Liu Gen told Wang Chao and his instructors about this, Wang Chao and the others didn't have any objections. As artillerymen, they would always go to the battlefield.The training of the students has just been halfway through, so it is naturally impossible for the students to enter the front line to participate in the battle.Only these instructors are the most suitable candidates.

"Principal Liu, thank you for giving us this opportunity! We will let the devils see how powerful our Eighth Route Army artillery is!"

Wang Chao and the others turned and left. Their footsteps were fast. When they left, they did not have the slightest fear. Instead, they were extremely excited about the upcoming battle. Fight, then they are ready to die!For Wang Chao and the others, death is not terrible, as long as they can kill devils, they can do whatever they want.

Perhaps Wang Chao's only regret is that after they left, there would be some problems with the training progress of the students. After all, without them, there would not be enough instructors in the Artillery School to take charge of the training of the students!

Watching Wang Chao and the others leave, Liu Gen's mood sank. He didn't know whether Wang Chao and the others could return from the battlefield, but as soldiers and artillerymen, the battlefield was their destination.

"Wait for me!" Liu Gen whispered.

　ps: Thank you for the great reward from Bread Party, thank you very much!
