"Underground... Commander, are you planning to dig tunnels?" Hong Ruijun was the first to react, staring at Wang Ping and asked back with an incredible look on his face.

As an old Red Army, although Hong Ruijun had never dug a tunnel, he had seen it.

In the past, when fighting against the landlords, you often saw the authentic teachings used by the landlords to escape and hide gold, silver and jewelry.

However, if you want to complete an authentic tunnel, it is absolutely impossible to complete it in a short period of time. This is also the specific reason why Hong Ruijun showed a shocked expression after hearing Wang Ping's words that he was going underground.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "You don't have to dig tunnels when you go underground. And you just said that digging tunnels is time-consuming and labor-intensive. You must never dig a blockade line from here this night!"

"Then how to get underground!" Hong Ruijun didn't understand.

"Dig a trench!" Wang Ping replied.

"Looking at the terrain here, neither the stronghold tower on the left or the castle on the right, it is not very high!"

"The condescending bullets can only fly against the ground. If we dig a trench under two high grounds for only one person, and the digging piles of dirt block the bullets on both sides of the trench, we can cross the blockade line along the trench."

"As for the Japanese in the stronghold artillery tower and the castle, no matter how far they shoot from a high place, the whizzing bullets can only hit the soil on both sides of the trenches, and they cannot hurt the soldiers we broke through the trenches!"

"This can be done!" Hong Ruijun said with excitement and affirmed, then stared at Wang Ping and ordered.

"Captain, how can we fight? Please give orders?"

"The guard company is all new recruits. It's not possible to fight, so it's still okay to dig trenches!"

Wang Ping hesitated for a moment and began to give orders.

"Architecture, continue firing. No matter whether you use ordinary shells or processed pepper shells, you must ensure that the Japanese castle and artillery tower on the high ground are always covered by gunpowder. The Japanese inside cannot see the situation outside and can only shoot blindly. I don't know what we are doing!"

"No problem," Chen Dong, the artillery company commander, immediately affirmed.

"Hong Ruijun, you command the guard company to touch the range of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns for me, and then start digging trenches, which can be dug together with multiple points. Let everyone bring tools, take advantage of the Japanese who can only shoot blindly, crawl forward and touch the front, leaving two people at every ten meters, first dig from the individual bunker, then connect these individual bunkers into one, and finally the entire trench becomes."

"Please rest assured that the guard company will ensure that the task is completed."

The captain who was sleeping soundly on the camp bed was woken up by the captain of the guard just after falling asleep.

"Sir, the blockade line five kilometers away was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. They used shells made of chili powder. The Eighth Route Army in the mountains must not survive and want to break through and rush out!"

Even though he was drunk, the captain still got up from the bed.

The defense line was broken through by the Eighth Route Army for three consecutive times. The first two times, the brigade commander Matsumoto did not say anything. On the third time, Matsumoto sent a telegram directly and scolded him in a very harsh tone.

If something happens again this time, the captain will definitely not be able to say that even if he is the confidant of the brigade commander, his failures will disappoint him again and again, and then replace him and even send him to the military court.

Therefore, as soon as he heard the attack of the Eighth Route Army, the captain began to become nervous like a conditioned reflex.

“Is there any problem with the lockdown line?”

"Please rest assured, the blockade line is intact, and all bunkers and machine gun castles are in our hands!" The captain of the guard quickly answered, and then added without forgetting to add.

"We equipped the gas mask, and the chili shells shot from the eighth route can't do anything to us."

The captain's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. The brigade commander has an order. When encountering an attack from the Eighth Route Army, he just needs to repel them, continue to trap them in the mountains, and let them die on their own."

"Tele to the front line troops immediately, be sure to defend the blockade line and repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army. During the battle, no unit can take the initiative to attack. If business accidents are unsuccessful, immediately telegraph the command center for help, and the mobile troops will arrive immediately! The new regiment is at a dead end, so there is no need to use the precious name of the Imperial Army to fight with them."

The inside and outside the artillery tower were filled with strong gun smoke and red smoke, and explosions kept ringing outside the artillery tower.

However, the squad leader who was guarding the third floor of the artillery tower was not worried at all.

Wearing a gas mask, he held up a telescope, seized any opportunity for the smoke to fade, and wanted to see clearly what the Eighth Route Army under the high ground was doing.

Of course, the captain was confident that no matter what they were doing, they could not rush over the crossfire formed by firing together by five light and heavy machine guns under their command.

Half an hour later, the explosion outside the artillery tower finally stopped, and the smoke blocking in front of him slowly dissipated. The captain was surprised to find that there was no body of the Eighth Route Army outside the artillery tower.

In other words, the Eighth Route Army did not attack once after half an hour of intermittent artillery attack.

"Baga, what's going on? Didn't the Eighth Route Army have no ammunition and food in the mountains, and only by rushing out can we survive? Is it just to fire so many shells at once. Is it just to cause some trouble for us? Where did they get so many shells?"

A military officer next to him suddenly shouted: "At the foot of the mountain, captain, look at the foot of the mountain, the Eighth Route Army is digging trenches?"

Looking outside through the shooting hole, despite the darkness, the moonlight still allowed the captain to see more than fifty single-person bunkers that had been formed at the foot of the mountain.

Not only that, the Eighth Route Army inside these single bunkers were still digging soil outside the bunker. Because the distance was too far, he could only see a vague shadow and did not know the real purpose of the New Group digging trenches.

"They want to shorten the attack distance through trenches and then attack our stronghold." The captain Tu Qixiang analyzed.

But I soon rejected the idea.

"No, the foot of the mountain is several hundred meters away from here. Even if they are dug until dawn, their trenches will not be able to dig the top of our mountain, let alone attack!"

The sergeant next to him suddenly reminded: "Is it possible for them to connect those individual bunkers into a trench, and the troops rushed through our blockade line along the trench?"

"It's possible!" The captain's brow frowned instantly.

He analyzed with a calm face: "The bullets we fired cannot turn. As long as the Eighth Route Army is hidden in the trenches, no matter how powerful our firepower is, we will not be able to hurt them!"

"Bageya Road, Tujia Road is too cunning, and they must not let their conspiracy succeed!"

"Everyone immediately robs the grenade launcher and shoots grenades outside, killing the Tu Eighth Route Army hiding in the trenches."
