The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Tunnels...there are tunnels on the battlefield..."

This was the first sentence the squadron leader of the attacking force said after he withdrew to Lieutenant General Sakuragi.

"Baga, please be clear...how is it proper to be in a panic..." The brigade leader was particularly dissatisfied with his subordinates' panic reaction, and loudly reprimanded him.

"Ha Yi..." The squadron leader woke up instantly after being scolded, and only then remembered that he was standing in front of the division commander.

Take a deep breath, try to stay as calm as possible, and then speak again.

"Reporting to the head of the division..."

"The Eighth Route Army has dug a large number of tunnels on the battlefield, and there are camouflaged tunnel entrances and exits everywhere on the battlefield."

"Even the forward positions we just captured."

"After the troops attacked, they tunneled back to the forward position and attacked from behind the attacking troops."

"There are also the tunnel entrances and exits of the Eighth Route Army lurking on the battlefield. When the attacking troops approach, they use Molotov cocktails to attack the tanks, and use machine guns to surprise the attacking troops."

"By the time we concentrate our forces and firepower to kill them, they have already moved from the tunnel to the ground."

"Many soldiers followed the Eighth Route Army into the tunnels, trying to catch them and catch them all."

"But the tunnel is like a bottomless pit. As many troops enter as they enter, they will be wiped out."

"Of the two squadrons that participated in the battle, less than one squadron retreated, and all the other soldiers died in battle."

"The tank unit lost three tanks."

"I ask the commander of the division to avenge us and destroy those Eighth Route Army hiding in the tunnels."

The head of the division, Lieutenant General Sakuragi, did not speak, and waved his hand to signal the squadron leader to leave before opening his mouth.

"I heard that artillery fire can destroy the entrance and exit of the tunnel."

"Order the First Battalion of the Artillery Wing. Each brigade is directly under the infantry artillery squadron, and the wing is directly under the Mountain Artillery Squadron. Immediately arrange artillery positions. I will use artillery shells to bury all the enemies underground."

"Since they want to move underground, don't come out, just smother them to death."

The head of the brigade suddenly said that this is the method written in the authentic battle manual.

There are several other methods, some simple, some complicated, and some completely destroying the tunnels and killing the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong...

The brigade leader's favorite method is to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the tunnel, which is enough.

Immediately suggested: "Division commander, should we send engineers to dig trenches, dig around the village, and find one or two tunnel entrances and exits."

"Blow it up little by little, follow the clues, destroy all the tunnels in front of us, and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army inside."

Lieutenant General Sakuragi shook his head: "It's too slow..."

Although we are not short of time, we are stuck here for a day or two because of a small Zhang Jiachong, no matter how much time we have for sweeping, it is not enough. "

"Bombardment is more direct and faster."

"Blow up all the entrances and exits of the tunnel, suffocate the enemy on the ground of the tunnel, and the troops will naturally take Zhang Jiachong down."

"Excuting an order."

"After 5 minutes, the entire battlefield will be covered with artillery fire."

"Two to 10 minutes of artillery preparation, the infantry and tank units launched the final attack, and when they found possible targets, they were first bombed with grenades, then swept with machine guns, and finally the infantry assaulted."

"Be sure to win Zhang Jiachong with the least cost."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The mountain artillery shells with the screaming sound quickly smashed into the blocking position, filled with smoke and dust...

After a while, the blocking position at the entrance of the village was covered by artillery fire.

Huang Yu and Li Zhi hid in the village, looking at the blockade with raging artillery fire in front of them, they were in a very good mood.

The first battalion and one company soldiers of the 26th regiment were just guarding the position.

The results of the battle have been reported in their hands. More than 200 little devils have been wiped out, three tanks have been destroyed, and less than two squads have suffered casualties.

Facing the disparate casualty ratio, Li Zhi didn't believe it at first, and only approved the battle report after repeatedly confirming it with the first battalion commander, and then became yearning for tunnel warfare.

Rubbing my hands, I really want to try it myself.

But when he thought of the planned battle plan, he hesitated, staring at Huang Yu for a while and thinking about it before biting the bullet and making a proposal.

"Captain Huang..."

"Since tunnel warfare is so useful, why don't we withdraw for the time being."

"While the soldiers have just won the battle and their morale is high, why not fight another battle before retreating?"

"This is the first time I will go to the battlefield in person, and I promise to beat the devil's attacking troops to the bum, and not to hold back the troops."

Huang Yu shook his head: "It's not that I don't want you to fight, but that I can't."

"Our tunnels are really powerful, but devils are not vegetarians in artillery fire."

"The artillery that is attacking us has at least twelve field cannons, eight mountain cannons, and more than ten infantry cannons."

"It only takes 10 minutes to level our surface positions and destroy most of the tunnel entrances and exits."

"Instead of fighting the devils with the few remaining tunnel entrances and exits, it is better to give up the position and let the devils mistakenly think that our tunnel warfare is just like this."

"Because the tunnel here is too close to the enemy-occupied area, it is easy to leak secrets, and it has not been repaired very well."

"When we get to the next tunnel and defend the tunnel network with upper and lower layers, we can take advantage of the devils' bombardment and mistakenly think that everything has been destroyed, and give them a ruthless attack, and try to counterattack and kill their infantry brigade. "

"That's a pleasure."

Huang Yu knew more about authentic warfare and opponents than himself, and Li Zhi couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Immediately he asked Zhan: "I will listen to you..."

"But let's talk about it first..."

"The next tunnel battle, I have to go to the battlefield in person to experience the power of tunnel warfare, otherwise Yizhong's trip will be in vain."

Huang Yu didn't refuse: "As long as you don't come out of the tunnel, you can fight however you want."

…………

"Rumble..."

The Japanese bombardment continued, seeing the sandbags and logs blown up on the blocking position, Lieutenant General Sakuragi regained his composure.

In his military career, he had never seen a unit that could withstand such heavy artillery fire.

Although the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong had tunnels to hide in, as long as the shells hit the entrance and exit of the tunnel, they still couldn't survive.

The shells plowed the blocking position back and forth twice like rain before stopping.

With so many shells falling down, even a blind cat killing a mouse can destroy all the tunnel entrances and exits on the position.

Lieutenant General Sakuragi thought so.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped and the smoke had not cleared, the attacking troops followed the tanks and went straight into the blocking position.

"The attacking force was not attacked, and everything went well..." The observation post introduced while watching.

"The attacking force is only 50 meters away from the entrance of the village...there is no enemy on the battlefield yet..." the observation post reported again.

"Division commander, the attacking troops have captured the blocking position at the entrance of the village..." The last sentence of the observation post was shouted out with a smile, feeling very excited.

Not to be outdone, the head of the brigade said: "The shelling is useful..."

"The Eighth Route Army hiding in the tunnel must have been buried, otherwise the attacking troops would not be able to miss a single enemy."

"Master, your method is useful."

"Next time we encounter the Eighth Route Army's tunnels, we will bombard them. We will definitely wipe out the Eighth Route Army."
