There were no flames soaring into the sky, and there was no choking smoke. There were only dull roars coming from the ground like wild beasts. Although we could not see the explosion clearly in the dark, we could
We can clearly feel that more than ten houses due south have disappeared from our sight in an instant.
Without thinking much, we picked up the weapons in our hands and ran towards the direction of the explosion. When we ran closer, we took a closer look... There was a big pit in the ground. The pit was full of gravel and rotten soil, and occasionally we could see...
I found several pieces of human body fragments that were blown up to the point where I don’t know which parts they were...
"Flashlight!" the leader yelled.
In normal times, our discipline is that we are not allowed to use flashlights in the village. Even if we really need to use flashlights, we must cover them with black cloth and only turn them on when it is safe. This is because we do not want Vietnamese snipers to find their targets.
But of course the situation is different now. The bombing of the Yuejizi ammunition depot is almost doomed for their defeat, and now is the time when they haven't woken up from such a severe bombing. What's the point of not using a flashlight at this time?
When to fight?
"Bang bang..." After a few sounds, the flashlights around the big pit soon lit up one after another. Hundreds of electric lights were shot like sharp swords at the big pit that had just been blown up, immediately blasting the hole.
This large pit filled with blood and dust was brightly lit.
The air is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Under the light of the flashlight, the soil in the pit is still steaming up, as if a large pot is boiling the earth and rocks. Of course, there are still some in the earth and rocks.
There were countless corpses of Vietnamese soldiers.
"There's a Japs!" Someone shouted at this moment, and dozens of flashlights suddenly focused on a Yue Japs who stood up unsteadily with a gun in hand. He was about to pick up the gun.
It was beaten into a sieve by a row of bullets.
The battlefield is so ruthless. Even though the soldiers all know that this Japanese Jie does not have much ability to resist, no one will risk their lives to capture him alive. The plot of sacrificing one's life to save the enemy can only appear in TV movies.
After killing the Yue Jap, the flashlight looked around for surviving enemies, and sure enough, he found a few more intermittently... Of course, without exception, they were all eliminated by the soldiers one by one.
"Hey! These Japs are really lucky!" Scar said mockingly from the side: "The entire ammunition depot has been lifted to the sky, and they can still be alive..."
"Isn't there a saying? The harm will last for thousands of years!" The regimental leader's words caused a burst of laughter from the soldiers around him.
However, I frowned: "No! With such a big explosion, even if the Japanese are still alive... their hands and feet will not be intact without any injuries..."
"Hey!" The soldiers were a little strange when I said that.
Then I quickly thought of the answer, so I hurriedly reported to Commander Liu: "Captain, the ammunition depot is connected to many tunnels. Once the ammunition depot was exploded... all the tunnels were dug out. These Jie Jies are
It came out of the tunnel!"
In fact, the reason is very simple. The ammunition depot is like the heart of the Vietnamese army's tunnels. In order to facilitate the transportation of food and ammunition, the Vietnamese army will of course open tunnels in all directions to the ammunition depot. So once the ammunition depot explodes, it means
The broken parts of each tunnel were exposed in front of us... The reason why we didn't discover it was just because the mouths of these tunnels were hidden by earth and rocks.
"Hmm!" The regiment leader quickly understood the meaning of my words, and immediately ordered loudly: "Everyone is here, be ready for battle, and pay attention to search for the entrance of the tunnel where the Japanese were blown up!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded and immediately pointed their flashlights at the side walls of the pit to search. It didn't take long before they found several suspected tunnel entrances, and some even had Japanese soldiers coming out of them...
"Here, here..." Suddenly there was tension all around, with rifles, submachine guns, grenades and even rocket launchers all pointing in that direction.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but frown. The soldiers seemed to be full of firepower and very happy when they fought like this, but it didn't have any effect... Those tunnel entrances were almost covered by earth and rocks, weren't they? Then the soldiers were so frantic.
As soon as the dust from the bombing was lifted, nothing could be seen!
The regiment leader was so angry that he cursed and yelled at the fighting soldiers: "Stop! Stop... don't shoot..."
With great difficulty, the soldiers finally ceased fire, but the large tunnel was filled with smoke and dust like thick fog, and no trace of the tunnel or the Vietnamese army could be seen anymore.
Originally, I thought that the regiment commander would launch an attack vigorously and resolutely, but he didn't. He just ordered the soldiers to lie down in a circle beside the big pit and do nothing. He didn't use flashlights or shoot.
It became as quiet as death. If it weren't for the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood that filled the air, it would be hard to believe that a battle had just taken place here...
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see any orders from the group leader. I couldn't bear it as I was lying with a small stone next to me. He tugged at the corner of my clothes and said, "Squad leader, let's wait like this for nothing."
Do?"
"That's right! The Japanese have knocked us unconscious, so rush in and give us a good beating!" Bayonet also agreed.
"Shut up!" I lowered my voice and ordered, "Don't make any sound!"
I know the purpose of the group leader doing this.
Obviously, the regiment leader is encircling rather than fighting. It is still dark now, and there are many inconveniences in dealing with the Japanese tunnels. Fighting can easily cause chaos and cause accidental injuries. Anyway, the Japanese are surrounded and cannot escape, so it is better to surround and wait for daybreak.
It’s not too late to clean up slowly! Besides, the warehouse used by the Japanese to store food and ammunition has been blown up by us. Victory will be ours sooner or later, so why fight for that momentary victory and happiness and let the soldiers
What about taking the risk and rushing into the tunnel to fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese?
From this point of view, the regiment leader still cares about his soldiers, not just killing enemies for the sake of killing them, and executing orders for the sake of executing orders.
Facts also proved that I was right. We were quickly replaced by other soldiers and took a rest. And there was no large-scale battle until dawn. Only occasionally some Vietnamese soldiers couldn't help but want to rush out of the tunnel to escape.
Several gunshots were fired.
After daybreak, the method to deal with the Japanese tunnels is simple. After discovering a tunnel entrance, first note the location and conduct a fire blockade. Then, based on the location of the tunnel entrance, deduce the direction of the tunnel and dig deeper. The images of the soldiers
This method is called "opening a skylight". As the name suggests, it means opening a "skylight" at the entrance of the enemy's tunnel and then throwing grenades and explosives down...
So, we just watched the grenades and the explosive packs explode in the enemy's tunnels. The explosions only made the Japanese howl like ghosts and wolves without the slightest ability to fight back. And what we had to do... seemed to be to dig a few holes.
Make a hole and then pile bullets and bombs into it at once.
Bayonet couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw this. He scratched his head stupidly and said: "Well...it's so easy to deal with the Japanese. Why didn't you think of this method before?"
"Before?" Scar replied angrily: "In the past, could you know where to open the skylight?"
After Scar said this, the soldiers understood.
In the past... it took us two or three days to find a tunnel entrance, and the entrances of the tunnels for the Japanese were carefully designed. Not to mention fireproof, waterproof, and poison-proof... and there were still turns. Just look at the tunnel entrances.
We have no way of guessing the direction of the enemy's tunnel.
But these tunnels opened up by the ammunition depot are different. They were blown up in the middle. We can easily deduce their direction, and it is not difficult to 'open the skylight'!"
"So..." Xiao Shitou said excitedly: "So we have made the first contribution?"
"Isn't that right?" At this time, the regiment leader came up in a good mood and nodded with a smile: "If you, the second squad, hadn't blown up the Japanese ammunition depot... I'm afraid we would still be helpless against those gopher rats! Now we can
It’s said that it’s like pinching a snail with three fingers—it’s a sure thing!”
The soldiers around us smiled happily and cast envious glances at us. At the same time, their faces were full of pride, as if we had also won glory for them.
However, the reality is not as simple as we thought. Without any psychological preparation, there was suddenly a dull sound of gunfire and a burst of "boom" explosions on the battlefield. In an instant, there were more than ten People's Liberation Army soldiers.
Being blown up into the air...
"What's going on?" the regiment leader roared angrily. Just now he was telling us that this battle was already a sure thing, but immediately the Vietnamese Japs launched a counterattack as if they had slapped him. He was even more angry.
Humans are still... We don't even know how those Yue Japanese who were trapped in the tunnels and waiting for death launched a counterattack!
"Report!" After a while, a cadre with blood all over his body ran over and reported to Captain Zhou: "It was the Vietnamese devils who did it. We sacrificed five soldiers and injured eleven..."
"Zhang Risheng!" Captain Zhou shouted impatiently before he could finish his words: "Tell me something I don't know! So many of you pressed the Japanese down in the tunnel and beat them up, and then they got bitten back? Are you the battalion commander?
How did you do it?"
"Report!" the battalion commander named Zhang Risheng responded with grievance: "The Vietnamese Japanese suddenly launched a counterattack, and it was organized. They... they attacked the 'Skylight' almost at the same time. First they shot outside, then
