Chapter 114 Let's Play Tunnel Warfare Together! (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket at the End of the Month!)
"Come, sit down!" Lieutenant Colonel of the Army asked Tang Dao to sit down.
"I heard that you are still asking the brothers to dig out?"
"Yes!" Tang Dao nodded.
"Deng Ying and others have complained to me several times, saying that it is not cost-effective to consume the physical strength of the officers and soldiers in this way, and even if the Japanese army wants to carry out tunnel excavation and blasting, it cannot be completed in a day or two. Regarding this, our army We will also take precautions," the Army Lieutenant Colonel said. "I think it's better to stop work temporarily so that the officers and soldiers can maintain their physical strength."
"Sir, you still underestimate the Japanese army's civil engineering work. They are absolutely professional in this area." Tang Dao shook his head firmly.
"And I can guarantee that the civil engineering work of the Japanese army digging into my Sihang Warehouse did not just start today. It may have been carried out simultaneously since they started building semi-permanent fortifications yesterday. If we add today's day, it has already been More than twenty hours."
"You mean, the Japanese army's shelling from early morning to non-stop attacks in the afternoon was just to cover up its tunnel excavation so that our army had no time to worry about it?" Hearing this, the Army Lieutenant Colonel immediately figured out the key, with a look of surprise on his face. Allow.
He was not surprised by the Japanese tactics of attacking from the east to the west, but by the ruthlessness of the opposing commander.
To cover a tactic that was being implemented, hundreds of casualties would be paid. That was definitely a ruthless person. If he really encounters such a stupid and ruthless person, then he will have to be more careful and not make any mistakes.
Don't be afraid of people being cruel, but be afraid of people being stupid. Playing cards that don't follow common sense is the most difficult thing to guard against.
"Yes, I didn't understand until recently that the Japanese army knew that conventional means such as storming would not have much effect on our defense line, so why did they insist on doing it? I think they were doing it to cover the civil engineering operations of the engineers. Secondly, they also have the intention of consuming our army's ammunition," Tang Dao sighed with a cold light in his eyes.
"If we had given them a division, they would have succeeded. What a pity! Just an infantry regiment."
“He’s coming with a division, and I don’t know if the two of us can still sit here and smoke!
However, I believe their division commander will be in a bad mood right now. "Listening to what Tang Dao said was interesting, a faint smile appeared on the face of the Army Lieutenant Colonel.
"Haha, sir, you are right, but I don't know how bad their division leader's mood is. What I am sure of is that it won't be long before the ruthless man opposite will cry." Tang Dao laughed.
"Oh? How do you say that?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel was a little curious.
"Sir, you see, the Japanese infantry has lost its spirit and has almost completely stopped attacking. However, the Japanese artillery has not stopped, maintaining a density of two or three rounds per minute. The intensity of the artillery fire ten times this has been proven to be useless. Then what do they want to do?" Tang Dao pointed out the window.
"They don't want us to see anything. To be more precise, they don't want us to hear anything!" The Army Lieutenant Colonel narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right, especially when I took advantage of a break in the battle an hour ago to order my brothers to go to the frontline trenches to rummage through corpses and look for bullets, and the Japanese artillery fire was not concentrated, I was sure that they were about to dig in."
"That's right. What if a cannon came down and didn't hit us, but it destroyed the tunnel they spent a day or two digging?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Okay, then continue with your plan, but you have to be careful, don't not get the Japanese, but hollow out the foundation of the warehouse."
"Sir, please don't worry. I didn't know it without digging the tunnel. Only after digging did I know that the capitalists really value money more than their lives." Tang Dao answered seriously.
"You guy!" the Army Lieutenant Colonel laughed dumbly.
It's really an irrefutable answer. Only those who hide inside and get bombarded know how strong this building is.
Two Chinese soldiers were laughing. Perhaps only the Japanese were suffering. Why did the Chinese economy not take off in this era?
. . . . . . .
The sun has set below the horizon.
The Japanese artillery is still stubbornly showing its presence, but the warehouse defenders have become accustomed to the loud noises that explode from time to time throughout the day. They eat when they should eat, smoke when they should smoke, and brag when they should.
Tang Dao has already notified the reward conveyed by the lieutenant colonel of the army, and the whole army is jubilant. Although you can't eat it if you are promoted to one rank, it sounds good, doesn't it?
Especially for those sergeants, if you go up one level and step into the ranks of officers, even if you only miss one level, there is an essential difference between soldiers and officers.
Of course, it is more touching to receive a 150-yuan pension for those who died in war. That is two years of military pay, enough for a large family to save for five years. This way, even if they die in war, they will not have much to worry about.
There was a lot of smile on the face that was tired from a day of fierce fighting, and it also diluted a lot of sadness because of the sacrifice of his comrades.
Tang Daozheng and a group of big-headed soldiers were sitting in a room eating pancakes stuffed with bacon and fermented bean curd. Although the taste was a bit weird, after a day of fierce fighting and the smell of gunpowder in his mouth, it actually felt extremely delicious.
"Sir, the hammer has moved!" Niu Er hurried into the room and reported to Tang Dao.
The soldiers were all taking turns to rest, except for the Chinese pastoral dog 'Hammer'. According to Tang Dao's request, he was taken into the tunnel by the soldiers in turns from three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yes, as the creature with the best hearing in the warehouse, Hammer must use his own efforts to prove to everyone that Tang Dao made the right decision to take the risk and bring it back.
Perhaps after experiencing hardships, not only humans are growing, but dogs are also growing.
Although it is not a rare breed, it is just a pure Chinese garden dog, but Hammer is smarter than anyone imagined. It was quiet all afternoon and was not disturbed by some vibrations from the ground. Until five minutes ago, it His ears suddenly stood up, and his eyes were fixed on the earth wall in front of him.
The thick soil blocks both human sight and less than acute hearing, but it does not necessarily block the ears of dogs whose hearing is sixteen times greater than that of humans.
"You little devil, you dig a little too slowly here!" Tang Dao swallowed the last bite of the dough and sighed slightly, with a cold light in his eyes. "Pass my order, everyone evacuates the tunnel, then bring water in and fill it up for me!"
"Yes!" Niu Er turned around and left excitedly.
"Squad leader, aren't we going to dig a tunnel to meet the Japanese and kill them?" A soldier quietly touched Li Jijin with doubts in his eyes.
"Are you stupid? In such a big place, you can guarantee that you can just dig a tunnel and encounter the Japanese. Do you think you are a god?" Veteran Youzi rolled his eyes.
"Sir, what is this called?" Veteran Youzi tried hard to come up with an allusion to explain it more clearly to the soldier who was obviously struggling with his IQ.
"The Seventh Army was flooded!" Yang Xiaoshan helped to add.
"Yes, the Seventh Army was flooded." Veteran Youzi slapped his hand. "Extend the tunnel for twenty to thirty meters, and then dig the passage horizontally. Even if the Japanese don't dig it, once the water channel is dug, what will be the consequences?"
"Everyone must drink enough water!" Erya's eyes were shining, as she had been feeling a little depressed.
"Then what if the water channel just happened not to be dug, for example, just a few meters short." The soldier happened to be a stubborn man, unwilling to accept that he was a fool.
However, his idea is not impossible.
"Hey! You idiot!" Veteran Youzi shook his head. "Why don't you understand? Why do you think the commander put the hammer there and listened? He just wanted to find out early so that he could put water in early to soften the soil!
How many sleepers did we use to support the more than 20 meters? The Japs just want to explode, do you think they will be willing to use so much wood? "
Everyone suddenly realized! He bared his teeth and took a breath!
It was not that they felt sad for the Japanese soldiers who were about to face a tragic fate, but that they finally understood why Commander Tang was so keen on digging tunnels.
Dare to be honest, whether it is diverting water into the warehouse or digging outside, they are all prepared early to fill the belly of the Japanese army who want to use rat tactics!
