"Come, sit down!" Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao was asked to sit down.
"I heard that you are still asking the brothers to dig out?"
"Yes!" Tang Dao nodded.
"Deng Ying and others have complained to me several times, saying that it is not cost-effective to consume the physical strength of the officers and soldiers in this way, and even if the Japanese army wants to carry out tunnel excavation and blasting, it cannot be completed in a day or two. Regarding this, our army
We will also take precautions." said the Army Lieutenant Colonel. "I think it would be better to stop work temporarily so that the officers and soldiers can maintain their physical strength."
"Sir, you still underestimate the Japanese army's civil engineering work. They are absolutely professional in this area." Tang Dao shook his head firmly.
"And I can guarantee that the civil engineering work of the Japanese army digging into my Sihang Warehouse did not just start today. It may have been carried out simultaneously since they started building semi-permanent fortification points yesterday. If we add today's daytime, it has already been carried out.
More than twenty hours."
"Are you saying that the Japanese army's shelling from early morning to non-stop attacks in the afternoon was just to cover up its tunnel excavation so that our army had no time to worry about it?" After hearing this, the Army Lieutenant Colonel immediately figured out the key, with a look of surprise on his face.
Allow.
He was not surprised by the Japanese tactics of attacking from the east to the west, but by the ruthlessness of the opposing commander.
To cover a tactic being implemented, he would pay hundreds of casualties. He was definitely a ruthless person. If he really encountered such a stupid and ruthless person, then he would have to be even more cautious and not make any mistakes.
Don't be afraid of people being cruel, be afraid of people being stupid, and playing cards that don't follow common sense is the most difficult thing to guard against.
"Yes, I didn't understand until recently that the Japanese army knew that conventional means such as storming would not have much effect on our defense line, so why did they still go ahead with it? I think it was to cover the civil engineering operations of the engineers.
Secondly, they also intend to consume our army's ammunition." Tang Dao sighed with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"If we had given them a division, they would have succeeded. What a pity! It's just an infantry regiment."
"He's coming with a division. I don't know if the two of us can sit here and smoke!
However, I believe their division commander will be in a very bad mood right now." Hearing what Tang Dao said was interesting, a faint smile appeared on the face of the Army Lieutenant Colonel.
"Haha, sir, you are right, but I don't know how bad their division commander's mood is. What I am sure of is that it won't be long before the ruthless man opposite will cry." Tang Dao laughed.
"Oh? How do you say that?" the Army Lieutenant Colonel was a little curious.
"Sir, you see, the Japanese infantry has lost its energy and has almost completely stopped attacking. However, the Japanese artillery has not stopped, maintaining a density of two or three rounds per minute. The intensity of artillery fire ten times this has been proven useless.
Then what do they want to do?" Tang Dao pointed out the window.
"They don't want us to see anything, or to be more precise, they don't want us to hear anything!" the Army Lieutenant Colonel narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right, especially when I took advantage of a break in the battle an hour ago to order my brothers to go to the frontline trenches to rummage through corpses and look for bullets, and the Japanese artillery fire did not focus on them, I was sure that they were about to dig in."
"That's right, what if the artillery fire didn't hit us but destroyed the tunnel they spent a day or two digging?" the Army Lieutenant Colonel narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Okay, then continue with your plan, but you have to be careful, don't not get the Japanese, but hollow out the foundation of the warehouse."
"Sir, please don't worry. I didn't know it without digging the tunnel. Only after digging did I know that the capitalists really value money more than their lives." Tang Dao answered seriously.
"You guy!" the Army Lieutenant Colonel laughed dumbly.
It's really an irrefutable answer. Only those who hide inside and take the bombardment know how strong this building is.
Two Chinese soldiers are laughing. Perhaps only the Japanese are suffering. Why did the Chinese economy not take off in this era?
.......
The sun has set below the horizon.
The Japanese artillery is still showing its presence stubbornly, but the warehouse defenders have become accustomed to the loud noise that explodes from time to time throughout the day. They eat when they should eat, smoke when they should smoke, and brag when they should brag.
Tang Dao has already informed the reward conveyed by the lieutenant colonel of the army, and the whole army is in jubilation. Although you can't eat it if you are promoted to one rank, it sounds good, doesn't it?
Especially for those sergeants, if you go up one level to become an officer, even if you only miss one level, there is an essential difference between a soldier and an officer.
Of course, the 150-yuan pension for those who died in war is even more touching. That is two years of military pay, enough for a family to save for five years. In this way, even if they die in war, they won't have much to worry about.
There was a lot of smile on the face that was tired from a day of fierce fighting, and it also diluted a lot of the sadness caused by the sacrifice of his comrades.
Tang Daozheng and a group of big-headed soldiers were sitting in a room eating pancakes stuffed with bacon and fermented bean curd. Although the taste was a bit weird, after a day of fierce fighting and the smell of gunpowder in the mouth, it actually felt extremely delicious.
"Sir, there is movement in the hammer!" Niu Er hurried into the room and reported to Tang Dao.
The soldiers were all taking turns to rest, except for the Chinese pastoral dog "Hammer". According to Tang Dao's request, he was taken into the tunnel by the soldiers in turns from three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yes, as the creature with the best hearing in the warehouse, Hammer must use his own efforts to prove to everyone that Tang Dao made the right decision to take the risk and bring it back.
Perhaps after experiencing hardships, not only humans are growing, but dogs are also growing.
Although it is not a rare breed, it is just a pure Chinese garden dog, but Hammer is smarter than anyone imagined. It was quiet all afternoon and was not disturbed by some vibrations from the ground. Until five minutes ago, it
His ears suddenly stood up, and his eyes were fixed on the earth wall in front of him.
The thick soil blocks both human sight and less than acute hearing, but it may not block the ears of dogs whose hearing is sixteen times that of humans.
"You little devil, you're digging a little too slowly here!" Tang Dao swallowed the last mouthful of noodles and sighed slightly, with a cold light in his eyes. "Pass my order, everyone evacuates the tunnel, and then diverts water into it and feeds me."
Fill it up!”
"Yes!" Niu Er turned around and left excitedly.
"Squad leader, aren't we going to dig a tunnel to meet the Japanese and kill them?" A soldier quietly touched Li Jijin, his eyes full of confusion.
"Are you stupid? In such a big place, you can guarantee that you can just dig a tunnel and encounter the Japanese. Do you think you are a god?" Veteran Youzi rolled his eyes.
"Sir, what is this called?" Veteran Youzi tried hard to come up with an allusion to explain it more clearly to the soldier who was obviously struggling with his IQ.
"The seven armies were flooded!" Yang Xiaoshan helped to add.
"Yes, it flooded the Seventh Army." Veteran Youzi slapped his hands. "Extend the tunnel for twenty or thirty meters, and then dig the passage horizontally. Even if the Japanese don't dig it, once the water channel is dug, what do you think?
as a result of?"
"Everyone must drink enough water!" Erya's eyes were shining, as she had been feeling a little depressed.
"Then what if the water channel just happened not to be dug? For example, it was just a few meters short." The soldier was stubborn and unwilling to accept that he was a fool.
However, his idea is not impossible.
"Hey! You idiot!" Veteran Youzi shook his head. "How can you say you don't understand? Why do you think the officer put the hammer there and listened? He just wanted to find out early so that he could put water in to soak the soil early.
Huh!
How many sleepers did we use to support the more than 20 meters? The Japanese just wanted to blast it, do you think they would be willing to use so much wood?"
Everyone suddenly realized it! They bared their teeth and took a breath!
It was not that they felt sad for the Japanese soldiers who were about to face a tragic fate, but that they finally understood why Commander Tang was so keen on digging tunnels.
I bet you, whether it was diverting water into the warehouse or digging outside, we were prepared early to fill the belly of the Japanese army who wanted to use rat tactics!
