Chapter 165 Turning to Tunnel Operations
It was night, and with the end of the first day of the counterattack, soldiers from the Eighth Company took over the Ninth Company and the Seventh Company and entered the No. [-] main tunnel.The first day of the counterattack had just ended, and the enemy's fierce attack had already formed, continuously attacking Shangganling. The soldiers of the Eighth Company relied on the tunnels and resisted bravely. Although they resisted the enemy's attack, they also suffered heavy casualties.

Xia Yuan was also injured, sitting tiredly in the tunnel, not in the mood to sleep.

Fierce artillery fire broke out overhead, and the tunnels were filled with the remains of sacrificed soldiers. The wounded spontaneously organized to press bullets for the soldiers. Comrade Wang Lan also joined the ranks of pressing bullets. A large number of weapons and equipment, four machine guns, automatic rifles, thirty carbines, including a large number of bullets and grenades.

With the end of the first counterattack, Xia Yuan knew that the second stage of the Shangganling battle would follow.

Tunnel combat.

The continuous day and night of fighting made him extremely tired, and his physique surpassed that of ordinary people. That kind of mental haggard feeling was unavoidable, and he had no time to take care of the progress of the well.

"Commander Xia, Commander Dai is looking for you."

A dark-cheeked soldier ran over. The soldier was from the Eighth Company. The Seventh Company and the Ninth Company basically withdrew from the Shangganling battle.

Because, it's gone.

After a day of fighting, Dai Wannian and the eighth company instructor had no mood to sleep even though their faces were tired.

"Commander Xia, you are here, sit down quickly." Sun Xiaosheng, the instructor of the Eighth Company, pointed to the stool beside him.

The three of them sat down, and Dai Wannian said: "Commander Xia, you have stayed in Shangganling for a long time, and you survived the defense of Shangganling on the first and second day, and you have experience in tunnel warfare. Let’s talk about the characteristics of foreign devils’ attacks during the day, let’s think carefully about how to make good use of the tunnels and destroy the enemy fiercely.”

Xia Yuan looked at the earnest but inescapable tiredness on the faces of the two of them. He admired the people of this era from the bottom of his heart. The reason why he was able to persevere until now was not only the strengthening of the five senses, the strengthening of physical fitness, but also possessing all kinds of abilities. skills, and people in this era only rely on a belief, a strength, no matter how serious the body is injured, their belief can even overcome the serious injury of the body.

Although he hadn't slept for a long time, he still braced himself up, thought about it carefully, and combined with what he learned about the battle of Shangganling in his previous life, he had a plan in mind: "Commander Dai, instructor, I After thinking about it carefully, with the help of tunnels to fight, we must first turn the tunnels into an indestructible fortress!"

"Today's battle during the day can basically be determined. The enemy will not let it go. We have to deal with it in advance. If the enemy finds our tunnels, they will definitely take measures against our tunnels, smoke them, blow them up with grenades, and burn them with fire. All kinds of gasoline bombs, even poisonous gas, to deal with future emergencies, we must be fully prepared, I propose to organize and mobilize soldiers, build tunnels, improve tunnels, and achieve a tunnel system that can both attack and defend.”

"For example, dig a ditch at the entrance of the tunnel, and the grenades thrown by the enemy can roll out along the ditch into a pit. Another example is to use soil to build a wall. Once the enemy's poisonous gas comes in, we seal the wall and leave only A few shooting holes, so that even if the enemy’s poisonous gas comes in, the amount will not be too much. For example, we use sandbags to build staggered shooting bunkers at the entrance of the tunnel, and it is difficult for the enemy to rush in.”

Dai Wannian and Zhang Xiaosheng listened to Xia Yuan's suggestion, their eyes were bright, and they knew they were asking the right person!
Dai Wannian agreed very much and said: "Commander Xia is right, we should make full preparations for future battles, take the protracted debate as an example, we must turn the tunnel into a perfect defense that can attack and defend, fire and poison. "

Zhang Xiaosheng also nodded in agreement, "Will the Battle of Shangganling end in a while? We have to prepare for a long-term battle. There are not many materials in the tunnel now, especially the consumption of weapons and ammunition is particularly alarming. Eighty percent of the ammunition stored here is basically consumed, and it is simply not enough to persist in tomorrow's battle."

Dai Wannian thought for a while and said, "That's it, instructor, you are responsible for contacting the regiment headquarters to tell them the current situation of supplies in the tunnel, Company Commander Xia, you are responsible for staying in the tunnel and digging the tunnel, I will lead the soldiers Go to surface positions to engage the enemy."

After a pause, he asked again: "How is it?"

Xia Yuan thought about it carefully: "Commander Dai, I think something is wrong. Is it too wasteful to leave me in the tunnel to dig the tunnel? I should go to the surface and fight the enemy. In addition, my survivability You know the combat ability."

At present, the proficiency of firearms proficiency has reached more than 40, approaching 50, and there are still more than 50 proficiency left after reaching the master level. Xia Yuan has a hunch that his firearms will be upgraded to guru.

He even had a hunch that master-level firearms proficiency would be a brand new world.

After serious consideration, Dai Wannian and Zhang Xiaosheng agreed to Xia Yuan's proposal. Xia Yuan would be responsible for maintaining the surface positions. Xia Yuan also had the right to mobilize the Eighth Company's team in the tunnel. In addition, they announced that from now on, in the tunnel There is only one company, and that is the eighth company.

They will separate after the battle at Shangganling is over.

The Eighth Company of Shangganling will be stationed in Shangganling from now on, and will continue until the battle is won.

Wang Lan walked in with the booklet in her arms and said, "Instructor, everything you told me has been done. There are currently eleven lightly wounded and four seriously wounded in the tunnel. There are still 31 fighters who can fight."

"Comrade Wang Lan, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard at all, it's the soldiers who are fighting desperately outside that are hard."

"The same, we are all members of the front line, and the wounded will still trouble you in the future."

The instructor stood up, asked Wang Lan to sit down, took the list on the booklet, and nodded: "In the future, every time a soldier comes in, he must write his name and hometown on the list. Many soldiers died in the artillery fire. I can’t find them anymore, this list is very important.”

Xia Yuan thought for a while, then took some honor strips from soldiers of the Ninth Company and Seventh Company from his bosom, and put them on the table: "These are the honor strips of the soldiers of the Ninth Company and Seventh Company, and they are all here."

Seeing that there were only a dozen honor bars, everyone couldn't help but fell silent.The Ninth Company is a strengthened company, with more than 200 people, and the Seventh Company has nearly 200 people. After three days of fighting, almost all of them died, leaving only a few honor bars.

"They are all good guys, we can't let their sacrifices be in vain, we want to win, we want to win the battle!"

Zhang Xiaosheng's gaze became firm, and he squeezed the pen vigorously.

Wang Lan could feel the firmness in the hearts of the commanders and fighters in front of her, and she could feel the energy in them, it was a twisting force, a tense force.

With such people, the war will surely be won!
At night, the surface of the position was bombarded by enemy artillery fire again. It didn't last long. The observers on the surface of the position brought news that the enemy had already touched the position. The soldiers in the tunnel had tired expressions on their faces. When he heard the enemy approaching, he immediately opened his eyes and touched the gun, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Even the wounded opened their eyes, quietly waiting for Commander Dai and Commander Xia to issue the next combat order.

"give it to me."

Xia Yuan stood up, swept away his tiredness, grabbed a newly replaced gun, and was about to set off.

"Wait, Company Commander Xia, don't be impulsive, we need to find out the enemy's situation first." Company Commander Dai got up and said.

"Commander Dai, trust me."

Xia Yuan didn't say much. He took enough ammunition and set off. Night is his battlefield. He can deal with as many enemies as possible. He is almost the most perfect fighter at night.

Company Commander Dai opened his mouth, "Let a group of soldiers follow you!"

"Captain Dai, no need, I can destroy the enemy!" Xia Yuan's firm voice came from the tunnel.

"No, I have to follow along. It's really dangerous for Company Commander Xia to act alone." Dai Wannian was a little worried about Xia Yuan's comfort.

"In this way, you bring a group of soldiers to touch it, but don't shoot first. You have also seen the combat ability of Commander Xia after the previous battles, especially the ability of individual combat. According to the reactions of the soldiers, Commander Xia's shooting The ability is terrifying, after the battle, the enemy on the defense line in front of him lay in a large area, at least a hundred people."

Hundreds of people, this is just the number of enemies killed in one day, which is completely unimaginable.

And this is just an estimate.

Dai Wannian nodded: "Okay, I'll follow to see if Company Commander Xia is in danger, I will send soldiers to reinforce Company Commander Xia."

"Ok!"

At the entrance of the tunnel at this time, the soldiers relied on the entrance of the tunnel and started to build fortifications. They used sacks to pile up staggered bunkers at the entrance of the tunnel, and some soldiers were digging oblique hooks at the entrance of the tunnel to prevent enemy grenades. A deep pit was dug outside the entrance of the tunnel, and then a gradually deepening inclined hook was dug from the tunnel to the outside, leading to the deep pit, so that the explosives and grenades thrown in by the enemy rolled along the traffic ditch and exploded in the deep pit outside the tunnel. up.

Xia Yuan admired the wisdom of the soldiers just by looking at them. This is the effect of brainstorming.

"Commander Xia, the enemy outside is coming up, you want to go out?" A soldier lying behind the sack asked with a gun in his hand.

"Well, you guys are optimistic here!"

When he came to the entrance of the tunnel, a strong smell of gunpowder smoke came over his face, and the battlefield was already shrouded in gunpowder smoke. After turning on the night vision, he could clearly see that the foreign devils on the battlefield had already touched them. With the cover of night, they even Changed the style of not fighting at night.

"Take care of the entrance of the tunnel, and don't let the enemy in!"

"Commander Xia, you have to be careful."

"rest assured!"

With a gun in hand, Xia Yuan crawled out of the almost buried tunnel entrance. The tunnel entrance has experienced several consecutive attacks, and the remaining tunnel entrance can only accommodate one person to crawl out. After taking a rough look at the number of enemies After that, quickly find a favorable shooting position.

"An even person dares to touch it, and they don't know how to live or die!"

Xia Yuan admired the courage of the foreign devils. More than 100 people did not sleep at night. When they touched the positions occupied by volunteer soldiers, they moved very carefully and used bomb craters to hide themselves from time to time, but all this looked so funny. Little did he know that his actions had already been seen by the scouts.

But now, a more terrifying person has been found.

Dai Wannian came to the position with a squad of soldiers, and quickly said: "Spread out immediately and occupy favorable terrain!"

The soldiers of a squad were scattered on the No. [-] position in a three-to-three system, directly covering the defense line of the No. [-] position. The distance between each combat group was tens of meters away, and they could support each other. After issuing the combat order, Dai Wan Nian squinted his eyes and searched for Xia Yuan's figure on the ground. He scanned around, but couldn't find it.

Hey, this is a bit strange, he has already seen the shadow of the enemy shaking in the hazy black smoke, but he can't see where Xia Yuan is.

At this moment, bang bang bang, eight consecutive gunshots tore apart the tranquility of the No. [-] position, and at the same time tore apart the fog on the position, and shredded the enemy's advancing footsteps. After eight gunshots, There was the scream of the enemy.

"fuck!fuck!!"

It was the foreign devils who were cursing.

Dai Wannian's eyes widened, and he saw the figure of an enemy falling to the ground in the darkness in the distance.

The first squad leader said: "Commander, Commander Xia's marksmanship is very accurate, this is eight shots in a row, directly killing several enemies!"

Dai Wannian looked at the darkness in the distance. The flame from the muzzle just now came from that direction, but there was no one there now. He could see it clearly from this position, but he didn't realize that there was a person lying on his stomach there. A person.

"When Company Commander Xia first joined the company, he won two battles. Especially after the second battle result was reported, even the battalion commander said that this kid was born to fight."

Dai Wannian observed with a binoculars, while suppressing his voice, he said: "Commander Xia is a fighter with a strong ability to attack tough battles, and his talent in tough battles can be seen from the first battle."

The first squad leader said again: "Then company commander, do you think that relying on Company Commander Xia alone, we can wipe out this group of enemies in front of us?"

Dai Wannian stared at the enemy in the distance, his eyes darkened: "This, it's really hard to say, no matter how strong Company Commander Xia is, he is only one person. From what he has observed now, there are already about two rows of enemies. It is possible that the enemy has touched a company this time, so that the soldiers are ready to fight, but no one should shoot."

"Yes!"

Just when the first squad leader was about to take action, there was a grenade explosion from the enemy's direction. The sound was loud and echoed in the valley. Dai Wannian immediately set up his binoculars to check, but saw a bullet on the enemy's head. A grenade thrown from an unknown direction exploded over the enemy.

Air blast mines, the range of shrapnel sputtering is very large, and the lethality is also very strong. Even if the enemy lies in the bunker, it will not help, and it will even be very dangerous. After the person lies down, the range is very large, and the whole person is exposed to the shrapnel. , the consequences can be imagined.
