Chapter 631 Don't let their conspiracy succeed (ninth)
631
"Underground... Captain, are you planning to dig a tunnel?" Hong Ruijun was the first to react and asked Wang Ping with a look of disbelief on his face.
As an old Red Army veteran, Hong Ruijun had never dug tunnels, but he had seen them.
In the past, when fighting against landlords and rich men, you could often see the tunnels used by landlords to escape and hide gold, silver and jewelry.
However, it is absolutely impossible to complete a tunnel in a short period of time. This is the specific reason why Hong Ruijun showed a shocked expression after hearing Wang Ping say that he wanted to go underground.
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "It is not necessary to dig tunnels to go underground. And as you just said, digging tunnels is time-consuming and laborious. We must not dig through the blockade from here tonight!"
"Then how can you go underground!" Hong Ruijun didn't understand.
"Dig trenches!" Wang Ping replied.
"Look at the terrain here, whether it's the stronghold turret on the left or the bunker on the right, they're not very high!"
"Bullets from a high position can only fly close to the ground. If we dig a trench for one person only under the two highlands, and pile the excavated soil on both sides of the trench to block bullets, then we can follow the trench to cross the blockade."
"As for the Japs in the stronghold gun towers and bunkers, no matter how they shoot from a high position, the whizzing bullets can only hit the soil we piled on both sides of the trenches, but cannot hurt our soldiers who break through the trenches!"
"It can be done!" Hong Ruijun affirmed with excitement, then stared at Wang Ping and ordered.
"Captain, how do we fight? Can you give me the order?"
"The guard company is all new recruits. They can't fight, but digging trenches is still no problem!"
Wang Ping hesitated for a moment and then began to issue orders.
"Artillerymen, continue to fire. Whether you use ordinary artillery shells or processed pepper shells, you must ensure that the Japanese bunkers and gun towers on the highlands are always shrouded in smoke. The Japanese inside cannot see the outside situation and can only shoot blindly. We don't know
what are you doing!"
"No problem," the artillery company commander Chen Dong confirmed immediately.
"Hong Ruijun, you command the guard company to get me out of the range of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns, and then start digging trenches. You can dig at multiple points at the same time. Let everyone bring tools, and while the Japanese can only shoot blindly, crawl forward and reach the front
, leave two people every ten meters apart, first dig out the individual bunkers, and then connect these individual bunkers together, and finally the entire trench is completed."
"Captain, please rest assured that the security company will ensure the completion of the mission."
The captain was sleeping soundly on the camp bed. He was woken up by the captain of the guard as soon as he fell asleep.
"Sir, the blockade five kilometers away was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. They used artillery shells made from chili powder. It must be that the Tubal Road in the mountains cannot survive and wants to break out!"
Even though he was drunk, the captain got up from the bed in a hurry.
The defense line was broken through by the Eighth Route Army three times in a row. The first two times, brigade commander Matsumoto didn't say anything about himself. The third time, Matsumoto directly sent a telegram and reprimanded himself in a very harsh tone.
If something unexpected happens again this time, the captain is sure that even if he is a confidant of the brigade commander, his repeated failures will make him disappointed with him, and then he will be replaced or even sent to a military court.
Therefore, as soon as he heard about the Eighth Route Army's attack, the captain became nervous as a conditioned reflex.
"Is there something wrong with the blockade?"
"Please rest assured, sir, the blockade is intact, and all bunkers and machine gun bunkers are in our hands!" the guard captain replied quickly, and then added without forgetting.
"We are equipped with gas masks. The pepper shells fired from Tubal Road cannot do anything to us."
The captain's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "That's good. The brigade commander has an order. When encountering an attack from Tubal Road, we only need to repel them and keep them trapped in the mountain.
They can just fend for themselves."
"Immediately send a telegram to the frontline troops to hold the blockade and repel the Eighth Route Army's attack. During the battle, no troops can take the initiative to attack. If an accident occurs, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters for help, and the mobile troops will arrive immediately! Shinichi
The regiment is at the end of its rope, there is no need to waste the precious names of the Imperial Army with them."
Everywhere inside and outside the turret was filled with thick smoke and red smoke, and explosions continued to sound outside the turret.
However, the team leader guarding the third floor of the turret was not worried at all.
Wearing a gas mask, he held up a telescope and seized any opportunity when the smoke subsided, hoping to see clearly what the Eighth Route Army was doing below the high ground.
Of course, the squad leader was confident that no matter what they were doing, they would not be able to break through the crossfire formed by the five light and heavy machine guns under his command firing at the same time.
Half an hour later, the explosion outside the blockhouse finally stopped, and the smoke in front of him slowly dissipated. The squad leader was surprised to find that he did not find a corpse of the Eighth Route Army outside the blockhouse.
In other words, during the intermittent shelling that lasted for half an hour just now, the Eighth Route Army did not launch a single attack.
"Baga, what's going on? Didn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army was running out of ammunition and food in the mountains, and the only way to survive was to rush out? Just fired so many artillery shells at once, was it just to create some trouble for us? Where did they come from?
How many shells?”
A sergeant nearby suddenly shouted: "At the foot of the mountain, Captain, look at the foot of the mountain. The Eighth Route Army is digging trenches?"
Looking outside through the shooting hole, even though it was pitch black, the scattered moonlight still allowed the team leader to see more than fifty single-man bunkers that had been formed at the foot of the mountain.
Not only that, the Eighth Route Army in these single-man bunkers was still digging outside the bunkers. Because the distance was too far, he could only see a blurry shadow and did not know the true purpose of the new regiment digging trenches.
"They are difficult to defeat. They want to shorten the attack distance by digging trenches, and then attack our stronghold." The team leader suddenly analyzed it.
But he soon rejected the idea.
"No, the foot of the mountain is a few hundred meters away from here. Even if they dig until dawn, their trenches won't be able to dig to the top of our mountain, let alone attack!"
The sergeant next to him suddenly reminded: "Is it possible for them to connect those individual bunkers into a trench, and the troops can rush through our blockade along the trench?"
"It's possible!" The squad leader frowned instantly.
Analyzing with a stern face: "The bullets we fire cannot turn around. As long as the Eighth Route Army is hiding in the trenches, no matter how fierce our firepower is, we will not be able to hurt them!"
"Bageya Road and Tubal Road are too cunning, and we must not let their conspiracy succeed!"
"Everyone started to rob immediately, and the grenades went outside to launch grenades to kill the Tubalu hiding in the trenches."
