After nightfall, the battlefield that had been noisy all day finally fell silent.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Sanjo Kyosuke began to crawl back quietly.
Under the cover of night, there were other Japs doing the same thing. Sanjo Kyosuke was not the only one who was smart. There were at least more than a hundred Japs who escaped by pretending to be dead, and then tried to use the cover of night to escape.
Climbing back to the position quietly does not count as escaping, so you will not be punished.
But what the Japanese soldiers could think of, the soldiers of the Songhu Independent Regiment could also think of.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Songhu Independent Regiment could not leave the bunker and go forward to clean the battlefield, because doing so would easily be killed by Japanese machine gun fire, but even so, it did not mean that they could only watch and pretend to be dead.
The Japs run away. On the battlefield, they will never let go of any Japs easily!
As soon as it gets dark, beams of flashlight light fill every corner of the battlefield.
Wherever the flashlight beam passes, once a moving object is found, whether it is a person or something, the defenders in the bunker will shoot decisively. Sanjo Kyosuke saw it with his own eyes. Two soldiers were accidentally hit by a flashlight.
It was illuminated, and then was sieved by the ensuing machine gun fire.
There was another soldier who jumped up and ran back without waiting for the flashlight light to shine on him.
But no matter how fast it is, it will never be faster than a bullet! The soldier ran two steps before two beams of flashlight light came over, followed by Chinese machine gun fire. In an instant, the soldier was beaten
It formed a sieve, then ran forward a few steps under the influence of inertia, and fell to the ground.
This time, the little devil didn't even have the chance to pretend to be dead and was really beaten to death.
After witnessing several such tragedies with his own eyes, Sanjo Kyosuke became more careful. Only when he was sure that there was no danger, he would crawl forward a small distance, and the speed was as slow as a snail! Sanjo Kyosuke knew that the Chinese would never be able to
He walked out of the bunker to clean up the battlefield, so he had one night to escape and there was no need to rush.
Sanjo Kyosuke's patience finally came into play. He crawled for more than two hours before the distance was less than one thousand meters. When he finally crawled back to the attack position, Sanjo Kyosuke couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
, he finally discovered that the feeling of escaping from death was simply wonderful.
While he was thankful, Sanjo Kyosuke also secretly vowed to repay the shame that the Chinese put on him ten times or even a hundred times. Sanjo Kyosuke turned back and looked at the dark Fortress Mountain under the night sky, and said secretly
: Chinese, you will definitely pay the price! Because you let go of one of the most dangerous opponents!
When Sanjo Kyosuke returned to the regiment headquarters of the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment, Konoe Shingen was thinking about what kind of offensive strategy should be adopted tomorrow. Today's results show that blindly attacking by force is not advisable.
In a forceful attack, even if the entire First Regiment of the Guards Infantry were deployed, they might not be able to capture the Wusong Fort.
In the Battle of Lushun Fortress that year, the Japanese suffered as many as 110,000 casualties!
Although the Wusong Fort in front of us is not as strong as the Lushun Fortress, the Songhu Independent Regiment is united as one, and its combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to the army of Tsarist Russia. What's more, the Songhu Independent Regiment can also win the support of millions of people in Shanghai.
Therefore, if they attack blindly, the casualties of the Japanese army may not be smaller than in the battle of Lushun Fortress.
But if we don’t attack by force, what strategy should we adopt?
When Konoe Shingen was feeling worried, he turned around and saw Sanjo Kyosuke.
"Sanjo-kun, are you still alive?" Konoe Shingen shouted in surprise, "This is really great!"
Konoe Shingen's surprise was by no means an act, but he was really happy. Not only did the two little devils have similar backgrounds, but they also had similar personalities and hobbies, and they had a very good relationship.
After finishing speaking, Konoe Shingen stepped forward and punched Sanjo Kyousuke in the chest, saying, "I knew the China Army couldn't take your life so easily!"
Sanjo Kyosuke smiled ferociously and said in a deep voice: "The China Army failed to take my life and asked me to crawl back from the dead. This will eventually become their most fatal mistake!"
"Yoshi." Konoe Shingen nodded happily and said, "As expected of Sanjo-kun."
After a pause, Konoe Shingen said again: "Sanjo-kun, you came back just in time. I was just worrying about what kind of offensive strategy I should adopt tomorrow. Come and help me with my advice."
"Hai." Sanjo Kyousuke paused and said, "Konoe-kun, I have already thought of a countermeasure."
"Nani, have you already thought of a countermeasure?" Konoe Shingen said happily, "Tell me quickly."
Sanjo Kyosuke said with a sigh, "Today during the day, when I was lying among the dead and pretending to be dead, and on the way back after dark, I kept thinking about how to destroy it.
The Chinese people's bunker fortification group, and then the moment I crawled back to the attack position, I finally thought of a countermeasure."
Konoe Shingen was also very smart. He reacted instantly when he heard this and said, "Dig the tunnel?"
"Hai, dig the tunnel!" Sanjo Kyosuke said with a serious pause, "Then we will start blasting."
Konoe Shingen shook his head, frowned and said: "I have also considered this, but it won't work. You also know the location of Wusong Fort very well. It is right on the seaside. Half a century ago, this was a sandbar, and there was no need to dig holes at all.
Due to the conditions of the tunnel, if the tunnel is forcibly dug, not only will it collapse easily, but water will enter the tunnel..."
"Konoe-kun, you have fallen into a fixed mindset." Sanjo Kyosuke said with a smile, "When it comes to digging tunnels, it doesn't actually have to be digging tunnels in the popular sense. Why can't we dig another kind of tunnel, such as
An uncapped, open tunnel? Well, it’s actually a trench, and you can actually get close to the target by digging trenches!”
"Dig trenches?! That's right, dig trenches!" Konoe Shingen said with great joy, "The Imperial Army's warriors hid in the trenches, and the Chinese Army's machine gun firepower points immediately became decorations. Without the suppression of machine guns, the Imperial Army's engineers could easily
Dig the trench in front of the Chinese Army's bunker, and then use explosive packs to blast it at close range!"
"If the Chinese army sends out infantry to counterattack, it will be counterattacked by the firepower of the imperial army! In this way, the offensive and defensive momentum on the battlefield will be completely reversed!" Konoe Shingen became more and more happy as he talked, and said excitedly, "Sanjo-kun
, your idea is so wonderful, you are so smart, why didn’t I think of it? "
Sanjo Kyosuke smiled reservedly. He didn't say anything big, but he wasn't modest either.
However, Konoe Shingen picked up the phone and called Noboru Kunisaki, asking for engineer support.

At ten o'clock in the night, Wang Jiageng finally turned off the flashlight in his hand.
At this time, even though there were still a few Japs pretending to be dead on the battlefield, there was no value in continuing the pursuit. After all, using a flashlight also consumes batteries. Batteries are consumables and expensive! Wang Jiageng immediately ordered to give up the pursuit.
The entire battlefield fell into darkness again.
After setting up a guard post to prevent the Japs from sneaking up on him in the dark, Wang Jiageng returned to Bunker No. 13 and sat down against the wall. Just as he was about to take a nap, the guard squad leader Yi Feng suddenly shouted: "Company Commander, are you there?"
Condition!"
When Wang Jiageng heard this, he jumped up like a conditioned reflex and rushed behind the observation hole in one stride.
"Company Commander, look." Yi Feng pointed forward and said, "It was dark just now over there, but suddenly it became brightly lit. I guess there is going to be some big move!"
Wang Jiageng's heart trembled. Could it be that the little devil wanted to fight at night?
However, when the little devils engage in night battles with us, aren't they using their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths?
With such doubts, Wang Jiageng raised the telescope in his hand, and through the field of view of the telescope, he finally got a clear overview. He saw that the little Japanese's position was filled with dust, and they were actually digging trenches!
Yi Feng also saw it almost as clearly, and then said softly: "It's strange, why are the little devils digging trenches in the middle of the night? Their brains must be kicked by donkeys, right? It's obviously them attacking now, can we defend it well?
Okay? Should we be so careful? It looks like we really know how to conduct a sneak attack."
Wang Jiageng's thick eyebrows were also frowned. This was indeed abnormal.
Yi Feng suggested: "Company commander, how about I take a team to conduct reconnaissance?"
"No, it's better not to act rashly." Wang Jiageng shook his head and said, "You'd better send someone quickly to report this situation to the battalion and regiment headquarters. Our task is only to guard the bunkers of Wusong Fortress."
Yi Fengyi said yes and immediately sent out a signal corps to report the situation to the battalion headquarters.
(Dividing line)
When the situation was reported to the battalion headquarters, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng happened to be at the first battalion headquarters.
Wang Jiageng and Yi Feng couldn't guess what kind of medicine the little devil was selling in the gourd, but Xu Rui understood at a glance that the little devil was going to dig tunnels and blast with engineers!
"You little devil really doesn't remember to eat or fight!" Xu Rui said with a grin, "It's only been less than a year, but he has forgotten the painful lesson he learned in Nantong, huh!"
Wang Husheng frowned and said, "Old Xu, what exactly is going on?"
Xu Rui said: "The little devils are trying to destroy our fortifications by digging zigzag trenches all the way to our bunkers, and then letting engineers blast them!"
Wang Husheng groaned and said, "It's broken. Now we're going to be in trouble."
Shi Changqing next to him also looked embarrassed. This was indeed a big trouble.
But Xu Rui laughed evilly and said: "It's no trouble. What the little devils do is called playing with an ax in front of Lu Ban's door. These are all my leftover tricks. They actually dare to show off their ugliness. I will teach them how to behave."
"
Wang Husheng was confused and asked blankly: "Old Xu, what are you talking about?"
Xu Rui just smiled and didn't explain. He immediately turned to Digua and said: "Digua, call Broadway Building immediately and ask Deputy Director Jiang to send fifty more heavy machine guns to Wusong Fortress overnight! Hurry!"
"Yes!" Digua agreed, turned around and walked into the communication room next door to make a call.
