As a result, the commander did not even hold a summary meeting. After the hurried conclusion, he called Wang Xuexin to the headquarters to discuss the issue of tunnel warfare with the chief of staff.
Wang Xuexin thought that there might be a secret in this.
Because of tunnel fighting, you must catch the enemy by surprise at the beginning and let the enemy draw some blood.
If this were told to the cadres from the beginning, and then passed on from the cadres to the soldiers of each department, and then the soldiers spread the word... the suddenness of the tactics would not exist.
Wang Xuexin's guess was correct, and the commander specifically told him that not a single word of the post-war summary should be spread out.
Seeing that Xiao Dongbei was summoned by the chief, Zhang Wanhe was happy. He found Li Yunlong and said proudly: "Old Li, let me tell you the ugly things first. If Xiao Dongbei is borrowed by the headquarters to clean up this tunnel,
That doesn’t count as rent from our arsenal!”
Zhang Wanhe made a small calculation in his mind. The headquarters is right next to the arsenal. If you don’t look up when you look down, wouldn’t the arsenal also benefit if Xiao Dongbei is busy with the headquarters? If you have any questions, just ask Xiao Dongbei! Save the money
Ordered "rent".
Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong smiled "hehe" and replied: "No problem, then I will go to Xiaodongbei and explain that the matter of the arsenal... we won't worry about it!"
"You...you are so unkind!" Zhang Wanhe was a little helpless, but who would let others hold resources in their hands?
On Wang Xuexin's side, the chief, chief of staff, and political commissar sat in a circle at the table as if facing a powerful enemy, and there were several clerks beside them.
Not one but three, sitting in three directions from Wang Xuexin, two from the front and one from the back. As if they were afraid of missing something or remembering something wrong, they had paper and pen ready, staring at each one with their eyes fixed on them.
Following Wang Xuexin, they began to take notes as soon as he spoke.
This made Wang Xuexin a little uncomfortable. It looked like he was taking a confession during a trial.
Then the leader spoke: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, let's discuss this tunnel battle in detail! This is a good idea, but I think it's just that the amount of work is a bit large, and there are still some safety issues, such as landslides."
The chief of staff interjected: "I don't think this is a big problem. We have coal mines everywhere, and many fellow villagers have experience in mining. If they lead the fellow villagers to dig tunnels, they will be able to dig quickly and well! It will be safe!"
"
The chief nodded happily: "That's right. The more you say it, the more appropriate it becomes. I can't wait!"
Then the chief of staff frowned and said: "However, there may be some problems. For example, if the Japanese discover these tunnels, they are likely to destroy them...such as sealing the tunnel entrances!"
"We can build a few more tunnels!" Wang Xuexin replied: "The devils blocked one and we have another one, so it doesn't matter!"
When the leaders and others saw that Wang Xuexin was in a good mood, they burst into laughter.
Then the political commissar and the chief of staff exchanged glances, and immediately acted as devils to embarrass Wang Xuexin.
The chief of staff thought for a while and said: "Then... what if we use smoke? The Japanese are poisonous gas bombs. If they are forced to use gas bombs in the tunnel, it will be terrible!"
"Simple!" Wang Xuexin replied: "We will prepare a few sandbags in the tunnel. The Japanese will release smoke to use gas bombs. We will put the sandbags into the tunnel and then use a shovel to shovel some soil to fill the gap. What about smoke?
No poisonous gas can get in!"
"Hey! You have two hands!" The leader laughed happily.
The political commissar shook his head and said: "What if...it is irrigated with water? The tunnel is low, so there is no need for irrigation!"
"Simple!" Wang Xuexin replied: "We only need to connect the tunnel with the well or something, and the Japanese will pour water here and we will release it there, and the water will go around in a circle and come back."
The chief and the political commissar were stunned when they heard this. It was really right, and it was quite simple, but they just didn't expect it.
Many things are like this. When you think about it, it seems simple, but when you don't think about it, it feels like a huge difficulty.
But Xiaodongbei can think of it.
The chief of staff seemed unwilling to give in, and then added another question: "What if the Japs stay around for a long time? This usually happens. After the Japs occupy the village, they build artillery towers, and then they pull a group of puppet troops to guard the place.
It lasted for half a month, and it wasn't until we got tough that they had to move away!"
"This is even simpler!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Our tunnels are connected to wells, so there will definitely be no shortage of water. We can also store food in the tunnels. We can stay here even if the Japanese stay here, let's see who can stay longer! It's true.
No, we can dig a tunnel to the next village, isn’t it just a matter of getting out from there?”
The chief of staff nodded with conviction: "It sounds like this tunnel is indeed a headache! If I were a Japanese, I wouldn't be able to do anything with it!"
The leader who had not expressed his opinion spoke at this time. His thoughts were a little different from others: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, what I heard just now was all about guarding, hiding, hiding. Are you passive? The Japanese only need to block the entrances of the tunnels.
, it will be difficult for us to go out!”
The leader took the cup and took a sip of water, and then continued thoughtfully: "For example, in Xue Ququan Village, if a similar situation occurs again, we are required to quickly pass through the center of the tunnel and take back the village. If the Japanese are so aggressive, there is nothing we can do.
!”
When the political commissar and chief of staff heard this, they felt that it was true. Just by saying this, they transformed a tunnel used for attack into a tunnel used entirely for hiding and saving lives. It was not only passive but also a bit off topic.
The leader went on to say: "It is certainly a good thing to be able to preserve the lives and property of fellow villagers. But if the enemy's purpose is to encircle and annihilate our troops, such a tunnel may be able to attack the enemy once or twice, but it will only do three... How many times will the enemy attack?"
If you know the details behind this, he won’t be able to break in and seal the head office outside!”
"Chief!" Wang Xuexin replied: "If you ask me, you may not be able to seal it from the outside."
"How do you say this?" The chief didn't believe it.
"We can place the tunnel entrance in a hidden place." Wang Xuexin said: "For example, under the bed, on the millstone, in the well, or even under the stove! You can come out at any time..."
The leader nodded slightly and said: "It's interesting, but if the devils don't care if they blow up the house...it won't matter how many tunnels they have and how hidden they are!"
These words made the political commissar and chief of staff look at each other. The chief's style and methods were too ruthless.
But Wang Xuexin was still not stumped by the chief. He replied easily: "If these tunnels don't work, we will make the entire tunnel invisible!"
"Invisible tunnel entrance?" The chief looked at Wang Xuexin in confusion and asked: "What is it?"
"It's just that you can't tell from the outside that it's a tunnel entrance!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Aren't we hiding in the tunnel? There are shovels in the tunnel, so why can't we dig out? We usually measure the location and know where to go.
, can’t we just dig out when we want to go out? Unless the devil digs three feet into the ground and digs out the entire village, how else can he guess where we will dig out?"
