Chapter 115: Drinking Water to Satisfy Hatred

Night is falling!

Jiro Wakita, who was still sitting in the wing headquarters, finally received news that made him a little happy.

According to measurements, the Engineer Regiment has dug to a position 25 meters away from the warehouse in a straight line, basically achieving the intended target.

Although this location is still far away from the warehouse, it is not the most ideal location for blasting. However, if it is closer, the sound of digging underground may be heard on the ground. To avoid these two problems, it has cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and even hundreds of empires An accident occurred in the tunnel where the Army's life was exchanged. The captain of the 3rd Division Engineer Regiment who personally came to supervise the work decided to call it a day.

When the engineer commander inspected the completion site and left, he obviously didn't notice that more and more drops of water were dripping on the walls of the tunnel. They dripped out densely, and eventually merged into a trickle and flowed down the earth wall. If it weren't for If the drainage was good enough, he would have had to swim out of the tunnel long ago.

Although they are both colonels, the combat corps colonel obviously has a higher status than the engineer colonel who only does menial work such as building bridges and roads. The engineer colonel came to the 36th Infantry Regiment Headquarters in person to inform them of the good news.

Wakitajiro didn't think long before he agreed to the engineer commander's suggestion, not because he wanted to give him face, but because he urgently needed to kill his opponent.

The wording of the call from the division headquarters could no longer be described as intense. It is said that the battle report that he had edited with great care was no longer on the desk of the division commander, but was torn into pieces by the furious division commander and thrown into the trash can.

Without some progress, he was afraid that he would not be able to retire safely and go back to his old age.

Naturally, in the face of the ardent hopes of Colonel Wakiitajiro, the Engineer Colonel also patted his chest and promised not to look too far away, but with scientific planning and a large enough amount of explosives, he would definitely be able to make the big monster of Sihang Warehouse unable to eat and move around. .

Watching the teams of engineers carrying explosives into the tunnel, the two Japanese commanders were happily thinking about the future.

Naturally, they couldn't see the end of the tunnel. Large chunks of soil were already falling. At this time, water drops no longer appeared on the soil wall, but water as thin as a finger flowed out from everywhere.

The Japanese engineers who were still in the tunnel were completely frightened. They didn't understand what happened. They dug more than 400 meters without this happening. Why did the water leakage accident happen when they reached the warehouse? This place is still seventy or eighty meters away from Suzhou River!

However, the Japanese engineers were quite experienced. After a short period of confusion, they turned around and ran back and forth. They knew too well how terrible a water leakage accident was, and once it happened, it was irreversible.

However, they were still too late.

Although the water flow is still increasing, the drainage in the tunnel can no longer keep up with the speed of water inflow. But the sad thing is that the tunnel is not only long, but also thin to keep up with the progress of the project. Two or three people can run around, but dozens of people can do this. As soon as Sayazi ran away, she bumped head-on with the engineers carrying the heavy explosive boxes. It was really a mess.

If they were combat soldiers, they would have strict military discipline and could maintain order under orders, but the engineers...

Obviously, they do not have this ability for the time being. In the panic, even the engineer captain in charge was squeezed down, and then the panicked engineers stepped into the calf-deep water, becoming the first unlucky person to drown in the water. .

What makes the engineers even more miserable is that everyone here wants to run out, but the two colonels outside are constantly increasing the amount of explosives in order to take down the behemoth Sihang Warehouse at once. 2,000 kilograms of explosives are used in one tunnel, vowing to blow up the warehouse. Earth aircraft.

It took two people to carry 50 kilograms, and 80 people to carry 2,000 kilograms. The huge team lined up in the tunnel for more than 200 meters. By the time the engineer at the end knew what was happening in front of him, it had already been five or six minutes. That’s what happened after that.

However, it’s not just that the Japanese engineers who were already in a hurry felt that their companions were even more stupid, but that when the engineers carrying the explosives retreated, they still carried the explosive boxes so hard that they didn’t let go...

At the end of the empty tunnel, the water flowing on the wall was no longer water, but water columns.

Thumb-thick water columns sprayed out from all parts of the wall. As the water washed away, larger pieces of mud peeled off, making the water columns even thicker.

Finally, when a water column as thick as a bowl appeared, the earth wall collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

'boom! ’ After a muffled sound, the water channel in the warehouse that was already level with the ground suddenly dropped, and then a large amount of water from the Suzhou River poured in again.

Visible to the naked eye, the water flow in the two channels suddenly became extremely fast. Everyone knew that the Japanese tunnel had collapsed.

The tunnels became waterways.

Perhaps the biggest benefit for the Japanese army from now on is that they can drink Suzhou River water from their own positions without much effort.

That is, the taste of corpse soaking water is definitely not too wonderful.

The good mood of the two Japanese colonels ended when a large amount of water began to flow out of the tunnel. They watched dumbfoundedly as the stream turned into a river, and soon it turned into turbulent waves.

The sudden rush of water almost knocked the two stunned captains off their feet, had it not been for the quick hands and eyes of the guard on guard who had quickly pulled them up to a slightly higher position.

Is this a river dug?

The moment he saw the steady stream of water carrying the shit-yellow figure rushing out of the tunnel, Jiro Wakibata had only this thought in his mind, and the tears that instantly burst out of his eyes were no better than the water rushing from the tunnel's river. How much less.

Wakiita Jiro was sad because the shocking explosion he had planned for two days had failed. For the other colonel who was screaming to save people, the engineers who rushed out in the waves were the ones who made him heartbroken.

Although the Engineer Regiment was a regiment-level organization, as a special branch of the army, it had only more than 700 personnel. The two tunnels had a total of nearly 200 personnel, which was basically the organization of an engineer squadron.

The engineers who rushed out with the water in front had bulging stomachs like frogs, obviously they were full of water, but because of the short time, they rescued several people in succession and they were still a little breath. But in the back, not only did fewer people rush out, but they were basically out of breath, the kind that even artificial respiration was useless.

As for those who didn't come out, let alone, as long as they couldn't transform into swords and break through the five-meter-thick soil layer, they could only honestly become water ghosts, and there was no other way to go.

In an engineer squadron, only one out of ten survives!

The Japanese colonel's tears were much more turbulent than Jiro Wakiita's. After all, he dug the tunnel and his men died.

In fact, not only the two colonels were sad, but the Japanese infantrymen were also very depressed because there were suddenly two more water outlets on the position.

The terrain of Zhabei District was higher as it went south, otherwise the water of Suzhou River would not have flowed through the tunnel to the Japanese position.

And if it flowed to the position, because a lot of trenches and communication trenches were dug in the past two days, wouldn't the water flow over?

The ground was already wet, and it was finally dried up by the sun in the past two days. Now it's wet again.

The Japanese infantrymen who jumped out of the trenches in a hurry looked at the water flowing and raging on the position, and almost thanked the stupid engineers for eight generations.

In the moonlight of late autumn, by the river, a bonfire was lit, everyone ate meat, drank sake and sang songs, which was definitely a very pleasant time in life.

But if this scene was replaced by a battlefield, in a swamp, in the cold weather, they dared not light a fire to prevent artillery shells, and now even their butts were wet, how would that feel?

Wouldn’t it be terrible?

You have to fill the hole you dug with tears, right?

Jiro Wakiita, who had woken up from his sorrow, watched his position being turned into a swamp by the gushing water, and then looked at the engineer colonel over there with dull eyes. Anyway, the engineers still inside were definitely not saved, so he simply didn’t discuss it with him and directly called the squadron directly under the regiment headquarters.

Block the outlet.

Under the moonlight, teams of Japanese soldiers carried sandbags and threw them into the outlet.

That scene was really spectacular!

It blinded the eyes of the Japanese military reporter.

They came to China to fight floods!
