"Boom..." Soon several mortar shells were fired. In order to achieve a better killing effect, these few shots were fired with incendiary bombs. After a firelight, several sounded in the rain curtain quickly.
The screams of the Japanese were so loud that we knew at least what these shots hit.
"You are there!" Company Commander Luo slapped Marx on the shoulder and said, "Finish! With you guys coming up, we even found the treasure!"
Marx and several artillery observers could only smile bitterly when they heard this. No one expected that the infantry's conditions would be so hard before they came. So for us, they found treasures, but for them, they came.
But he said he fell into the fire pit.
"The second platoon leader!" Then Company Commander Luo hugged and ran to me and said in a low voice: "It seems that the Japanese devils may be touched tonight, so they have to prepare..."
Of course I understand what Corps Luo said. Although there are more than a dozen tunnel fortifications that are barely enough, there are still big problems with each other. For example, if we cannot contact each other, this will undoubtedly make us fight each other.
We cannot command it. We can't go out to fight during the day and hide in the tunnel at night to defend passively, right?
"Don't worry! Company Commander!" I replied without thinking: "It's just for me!"
"Well!" Company Commander Luo couldn't help but look at me unexpectedly and said, "Just be confident!"
I know what happened to Captain Luo. You must know that no matter what was assigned to me or what tasks, I always pushed this and that or looked unwilling, but now I responded without thinking.
Of course it will make him feel a little uncomfortable.
What Corps Luo didn't know was that I had already prepared for the connection between the tunnels... In fact, it was not that I had prepared. Instead, I remembered what the old man said to me: "How to contact between the tunnels?
It's not simple. Open the middle of the bamboo, connect the heads and tails of each section and are buried in the ground to connect the tunnels. The bamboo is wearing ropes. One length and one short means that there is an enemy situation. One long and two short means that the Vietnamese are in your place.
Below the head, hit the grenade quickly... This is called a communication rope, do you understand?"
OK. I do understand, and I put it into practice, so I didn't know much about it... In order to "connect" with my classmates living across the road, we used a glass rope to pull a 200-meter-long road.
The communication rope directly caused several bicycle riders to fall into a bunch of...
That was a shameful thing when I was a child. Naturally, I am not that stupid now. I know that the reason why this communication rope can communicate is that it is in the hollow bamboo... So I called the soldiers coming to the company to start immediately.
I first made a simple division of labor in the army: one platoon was responsible for cutting bamboo and opening up the middle bamboo joints. One platoon was responsible for threading the rope into the hollow bamboo and burying it underground to connect the tunnels. The other platoon was responsible for cutting the rope into the hollow bamboo and burying it in the ground to connect the tunnels.
Well, they just let them lay another kind of rope on the surface of the position... This rope was not buried underground or worn in hollow bamboo joints, but was exposed to the ground.
Several artillery observers were not idle either, so I asked them to make a detailed map for the 581 backscene position. On this map, not only are the locations of each tunnel, but also the code names of each tunnel. They are surrounded by the tunnels.
The area is divided into several areas, and the artillery observers are asked to contact the artillery in the rear to adjust the elements of these areas with mortars...
The reason for using mortars is that I am worried that large-caliber long-range cannons will affect the surrounding tunnels... Our purpose is to kill the Japanese on the surface of the position, rather than destroying fortifications, so small-caliber mortars are just right.
.
Of course, to accurately shoot these areas, test shots must be performed... This does not seem to be very difficult. When we need to test shots, we can just hide in the tunnel in advance.
After that, landmines were buried around before entering the tunnel.
Of course, just like blocking positions, each mine must be recorded in detail before it is buried. This record includes information on the location, type and other information of the mines... in order to remove them the next day.
"Call number zero, call zero number zero! Please answer when you receive it!"
"No. 1 received! The signal is clear!"
"No. 0 calls No. 2, please answer when you receive it!"
"No. 2 received it, the signal is clear!"
...
This is the last communication test we conducted in the tunnel. Tire No. 0 is the command center where the company commander is located. Then, for the sake of memory, Tire No. 1 is the command center of the first row, Tire No. 2 is the second row, and then Tire No. 21 is the command center
Shift one in the second row...and so on.
Some people may say, isn’t this a communication rope? Why do you still need to use a walkie-talkie to communicate?
First of all, the communication rope is not as good as the walkie-phone in any case. Why don’t we use it? Secondly, the communication rope can only convey some simple messages, and it is one-to-one, and often it still cannot meet the contact needs.
But this is not because the communication rope is useless. First, because electronic equipment such as walkie-talkies are prone to failure in this wet tunnel... Although we have used tarp cloth to protect the walkie-talkies in the past few days.
Very good, but half of it still fails to work.
Originally, our walkie-talkies were popular in class, but now... it’s good to be able to go from company command to roster, and it’s not clear when these things will get into trouble again.
Go to the rear and transport a batch to the store? Come on, these things are not of great quality, and it is a bit difficult to ask them to work in a situation where water is everywhere.
At this time, I remembered what the old man said: "In that tunnel, the phone is useful. The phone line can be used to make a call by shaking it. The structure is very simple. If the phone is broken, it can be used again if it is broken!"
It seems that when will a batch of phone calls be transferred from the rear?
Another reason is that if the Japanese come up to touch the hole, then if they still call like this, the target will undoubtedly be exposed, so at this time, you must use a silent "communication rope".
So after testing the walkie-talkie, each tunnel started to test the communication rope happily. Of course, it was a bit difficult to use it at the beginning, because the soldiers were not very skilled in it. But all this can be used.
Communication between walkie-talkies and walkie-talkies is solved:
"Enemy situation?"
"No, two long and one short, you missed one!"
"Stop the sound?"
"By the way!"
...
So everyone quickly became skilled after going through the two of them. At this time, Commander Luo couldn't help but say to me on the walkie-talkie: "I said, the second platoon leader, where did you learn this... It's like measuring it for us.
It looks like a custom made!"
"That's right!" Scar also replied: "The most exciting methods are these methods... They look simple but very practical. Has the second platoon leader fought a tunnel battle?"
"How can it be!" I replied awkwardly: "It's just... I like to hear stories about tunnel wars when I was a child. My neighbor lived in a veteran during the Anti-Japanese War. He fought tunnel wars at that time... I thought about this
It seems to be almost the same, so I used it like this!”
"Oh!" After I said this, Company Commander Luo and others believed it. After all, this set really has a shadow of authentic wars in the past, and we did have authentic wars at that time, so this movie is still being played.
?
Then there was a long time of boredom... The old man also said this: "It's not suitable to go outside to go to activities when it's dark. You can't even go out to shit and urinate, otherwise it's very likely that the location of the tunnel will be exposed.
The entire tunnel was in trouble! So... just wait till dawn..."
I live with me in the same tunnel with several soldiers from the second squad. I don’t know if it is because I was the soldier of the second squad or because of Chen Yiyi, I particularly tend to stay with the soldiers from the second squad.
, if there is any task, it is called the second class, intentionally or unintentionally, which makes the other two squad leaders a little dissatisfied.
So I quickly remembered Chen Yiyi. How great would it be if she was still here... Then no matter what, I would arrange a tunnel that belonged to both of us, and those two people would hide here.
I won’t be bored anymore, I will envy the rest of the company!
Just thinking about it, the reality is cruel... I hid in this tunnel, and because there were not enough tunnels, I could only accommodate three people, but now I have squeezed four.
So everyone can only sit here like an old monk entering into meditation. When they are tired, they will lean on the mud behind them. If someone wants to be convenient... OK, use a engineer shovel or use his hands to under his butt
Dig a hole, bury it after finishing it and then sit on it...
The pains cannot be clearly understood in just a few words. At this time, we feel that we are not warriors at all, and we don’t even feel like individuals... At best, we are beggars, or those who pick up garbage on the street to eat
The madman, or the beasts with only survival instinct...
However, I know that this is just the beginning, and life in the future will be much harder than it is now.
A "boom!" sounded, and a blast caught our attention.
I don’t know if it’s too boring or something, but after hearing the explosion, we were excited and whispered to each other: “The enemy is here!”
There was a hint of excitement in the voice... Maybe it was because the soldiers wanted to break the boredom, or maybe they felt that it would be better to die in a battle than to continue to endure it in such an environment!
Corps Luo's order was soon heard from the walkie-talkie: "Pass the order down, block the tunnel, do not speak or call flashlights!"
"Yes!" I responded, and the soldiers under my command began to take action without waiting for my order.
Xiao Shitou passed the order down with a communication rope. Wang Kechang was rolled on the mud on the ground in his arm, and then blocked the entrance of the tunnel from the inside out... (To be continued...)
