The dull sound of explosions reached the captain's ears again. An armored vehicle on the left front was instantly overwhelmed by the fire caused by the explosion of Molotov cocktails. As soon as the Japanese in the armored vehicle got out, they were killed by a hail of bullets flying from nowhere and fell instantly.
around armored vehicles.
"Boom boom boom..."
Several grenades fell from the sky, as if they had eyes, and they all hit the middle of the attacking troops.
Black smoke rose into the sky, rocks flew everywhere, and at least ten soldiers were knocked over. Some were motionless, while others were lying on the ground screaming...
"Baga...why are there so many Eighth Route Army troops on the battlefield?" The captain was dumbfounded, feeling shocked and desperate.
The reactions of his subordinates were even more exaggerated than his, and many of them turned pale. They all looked at the soldiers around them falling into a pool of blood one after another, with expressions of panic and confusion.
"Captain...the army has lost almost two squads..." the deputy captain bent down and touched the captain's side to remind him.
"The Eighth Route Army was very cunning. They crouched in the dark to sneak up on us and then retreated after attacking. We couldn't find the target even if we tried to counterattack, so we had to be passively beaten!"
"typical……"
The captain's vision is much wider than that of his deputy, and he can tell the key to the problem when he opens his mouth.
"There are still a large number of tunnel entrances and exits on the position that have not been destroyed by artillery fire..."
"The Eighth Route Army hid at the tunnel entrances and exits to attack us, and then retreated to the tunnels after being beaten. Of course we couldn't find them!"
"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is too passive to fight like this... We must keep an eye on the Eighth Route Army that sneaks up on us, chase them to counterattack, and disrupt their attack rhythm. Only in this way can we have a chance to turn defeat into victory."
The adjutant reacted quickly and understood the hidden meaning of the captain's words in an instant, and immediately accepted the order: "I will send people into the tunnel now to chase the Eighth Route Army inside so that they cannot continue to sneak attack on us."
"Da da da……"
The Japanese machine gunners aimed at a tunnel entrance and fired wildly. A dozen riflemen were like a group of hungry wolves smelling blood, howling and outflanking the tunnel.
"Machine gun cover, others follow me into the tunnel..." Commander Cao, a Japanese soldier, ordered loudly.
Several riflemen were angry and got in with their guns in hand.
Commander Cao followed closely behind, and the remaining riflemen and machine gunners followed closely.
A dozen or so little Japs from a combat unit disappeared on the ground battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Half a minute later, several gunshots were heard from the tunnel...
After another half minute, two explosions came out of the tunnel, followed by a string of machine gun fire, and then there was no movement in the tunnel.
The same battle takes place in every corner of the battlefield.
It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
This group of Kwantung Army soldiers who have never seen the true power of the tunnel are more reckless than newborn calves.
A squadron of many, without any experience in tunnel warfare, dived into the tunnel.
The Japanese captain originally wanted to enter the tunnel, but as soon as he reached the entrance, he was blocked by his adjutant.
"Captain...there's something going on in the tunnel..."
"It seems that something happened to the troops who entered the tunnel just now. None of the troops exited the tunnel alive... It's too mysterious inside. You'd better not go in yet..."
"Nani... More than a squadron of soldiers were killed..." The captain quickly backed away and stayed away from the tunnel entrance, fearing that he would not be able to get back if he entered.
The adjutant shook his head and explained: "I don't know their specific situation even though I'm in charge... It's just that none of the troops that entered the tunnel have come out yet."
"The entire tunnel is like a bottomless pit. As many troops as we entered, we were stripped of them. There were very few calls for firefights. It was so weird."
"Captain, withdraw..." A squadron leader suddenly ran over and suggested.
"The Eighth Route Army attacking us seems to be endless..."
"One or two hundred imperial troops entered the tunnels to hunt down the Eighth Route Army that just attacked us. However, the number of Eighth Route Army that attacked us on the ground did not decrease. Just now, two more armored vehicles were frightened..."
"More than a squad of soldiers were killed or injured... If we don't retreat, everyone in the attacking force will be surrendered here!"
"What about the troops that entered the tunnel?" The captain still had high hopes for the troops in the tunnel. He felt that no matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army was in combat, it would be impossible to wipe out his reinforced squadron so quickly.
The squadron leader answered bravely: "80% of them have encountered something unexpected..."
"When the troops first entered the tunnel, they could still hear some firefights, but now there is no sound of firefights. If there was no unexpected incident, at least they would have come out of the tunnel to report to us that they were safe, instead of disappearing without a trace..."
After saying that, he cast a pleading look at the adjutant, hoping that he could help him speak and persuade the captain.
"Captain, withdraw... I even suspect that something unexpected happened to them despite my humble position..." The adjutant understood the Shinto in his heart.
The sound of firefights on the ground battlefield never stopped, and the captain's expression became more solemn as he looked at it.
The battle situation was even worse than reported by my subordinates.
Facing the elusive Eighth Route Army, the attacking troops had no way to hide and were constantly being beaten passively.
Even the indestructible tanks and armored vehicles are useless. They are useless in front of the tunnel and can only be passively bombed.
If something unexpected happens to the attacking troops here, the brigade commander will become a mere commander. Even if he exits the battlefield alive, he will be court-martialed by the brigade commander.
The captain couldn't bear this outcome and ordered without hesitation: "Withdraw..."
"All attacking forces retreated..."
"Da da da...dong dong dong..."
The long-lost sound of heavy machine gun fire suddenly sounded behind him. Before the captain could react, a cry of surprise rang in his ears: "Sir...be careful..."
A guard rushed towards him from behind, instantly pressing him to the ground. Several heavy machine gun bullets flew past his back at the same time, hitting the back of a Japanese soldier directly in front...
"Baga..." the squadron leader next to him yelled at the same time.
"Sir, the frontline trench we just occupied was taken back by the Eighth Route Army... They want to block us on the battlefield and annihilate us..."
The captain turned around and saw a scene that made him extremely desperate.
A row of black gun barrels and human heads suddenly appeared in the empty blocking position just now. It was visually estimated that there were at least a hundred people, including five or six heavy machine guns, and they were firing wildly at the backs of the attacking troops.
"The tank squadron provides cover, regains the front-line position, and continues to retreat..." The captain's mind turned around and he quickly made a decision.
"Until the artillery completely destroys the tunnel entrances and exits, no matter how many more attacking troops we attack, they will be hunted down by the Eighth Route Army."
"Although the retreat was cut off by the Eighth Route Army, they are all exposed on the surface and are easier to fight than the Eighth Route Army in the Tibetan tunnels."
"With the cover of the tanks, the attacking troops can easily open up a retreat for the troops and evacuate the battlefield. They may even be able to eliminate more than a hundred Eighth Route Army troops on the surface."
"The tank squadron immediately nodded, covered the attacking troops, and forced an assault on the front-line positions to eliminate the Eighth Route Army there... kill them all..."
