Chapter 114 Lets have a tunnel battle together!
"Come on, sit down!" Lieutenant Colonel of the Army called Tang Dao to sit down.
"I heard you are still letting your brothers dig out?"
"Yes!" Tang Dao nodded.
"Deng Ying and the others have complained to me several times, saying that it is too unprofitable to consume the physical strength of the officers and soldiers. Moreover, even if the Japanese army wants to do some tunnel excavation and blasting, it will not be completed in one or two days. Our army will be on guard against this." said Lieutenant Colonel of the Army. "I think it's better to stop work for the time being so that the officers and soldiers can maintain their physical strength."
"Sir, you still underestimate the Japanese civil engineering operations too much. They are definitely professional in this regard." Tang Dao shook his head firmly.
"And I can guarantee that the civil engineering work that the Japanese army excavated into our Sihang Warehouse did not start today. It may have been carried out simultaneously since yesterday when they started building semi-permanent fortifications. If one day of today is added, it will be more than twenty hours."
"What do you mean is that the Japanese army's shelling from the early morning to the constant attack in the afternoon are just to cover up the tunnel digging, so that our army has no time to take care of it?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel instantly figured out the key, and his face showed a shock.
He was not surprised by the Japanese army's tactics of attacking the east and west, but by the ruthlessness of the opponent's commander.
He can cover up a tactic that is being implemented and he can suffer hundreds of casualties. He is definitely a ruthless person. If he really encounters such a stupid and ruthless person, he must be more careful and must not make any mistakes.
The most difficult thing to prevent is not to be ruthless or stupid.
"Yes, I didn't realize until not long ago that the Japanese army knew that the conventional means of strong attack did not have much effect on our defense line, so why did they still have to be stubborn? I think they were to cover the civil engineering work of the engineers, and to consume our ammunition." Tang Dao sighed with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"If they were given a division, they would definitely succeed. What a pity! It was just an infantry corps."
"He wants to come to a division. I don't know if we can sit here and smoke!
However, I believe that their division commander will be in a bad mood now." After hearing what Tang Dao said interestingly, the Army Lieutenant Colonel smiled faintly.
"Haha, you're right, sir, but I don't know how bad their division commander is. What I can be sure of is that it won't take long before the ruthless man on the other side will definitely cry." Tang Dao laughed.
"Oh? How do you say it?" Lieutenant Colonel of the Army was a little curious.
"Sir, look, the Japanese infantry has lost its spirit and has almost stopped attacking completely, but the Japanese artillery has not stopped, maintaining a density of two or three rounds per minute. The shelling intensity ten times that is already proved useless. So what are they trying to do?" Tang Dao pointed out the window.
"They don't want us to see anything, or to be more precise, they don't want us to hear anything!" Lieutenant Colonel narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right, especially when I used the battle gap an hour ago to order my brothers to go to the frontline trenches to search for bullets, and the Japanese artillery fire did not gather fire, I was sure that they were about to dig it up."
"Yes, a cannon came down and did not blow us up, but it collapsed the tunnel they had dug for a day or two, but what should I do?" Lieutenant Colonel narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Okay, then continue to follow your plan, but you have to be careful not to empty the foundation of the warehouse without getting the Japanese."
"Sir, please rest assured. I don't know if I don't dig the tunnel. I only know when I dig it. Capitalists really take money more seriously than life." Tang Dao answered very seriously.
"You guy!" Lieutenant Colonel of the Army burst into laughter.
There is really an irrefutable answer. Only those who are hiding inside and getting furious know how solid this building is.
Two Chinese soldiers were laughing. Perhaps only the Japanese were in pain. Because the Chinese economy began to take off before this era!
The sunset has set on the horizon.
The Japanese artillery was still stubbornly showing their existence, but the warehouse defenders were already accustomed to the loud noises that burst from time to time this day, eating what should be eaten, smoking what should be smoked, and bragging what should be bragging.
Tang Dao has already notified the rewards conveyed by the Army Lieutenant Colonel, and the whole army is full of joy. Although it is not prudent to be promoted to the next level, it sounds nice, doesn’t it?
Especially those sergeants, they step into the ranks of officers when they go up one level. Don’t be a mistake at the first level, there is a fundamental difference between soldiers and officials.
Of course, the 150-ocean pension for those who died in battle is even more touching. That is their full two years of military pay, which is enough for everyone to save some five years of need. Even if they die in battle, they will not have much worries.
There were a lot of smiles on my face that was exhausted due to the fierce battle of a day, and also diluted a lot of sadness that had surged due to the sacrifice of my comrades.
Tang Daozheng and a group of big-headed soldiers sat in a room to eat noodles with bacon and fermented bean curd. Although the taste was a bit weird, after fighting for a day, he felt extremely delicious after the smell of gunpowder.
"Sir, the hammer is moving!" Niu Er hurriedly ran into the room and reported to Tang Dao.
The soldiers were all on the turn of rest, and there was only the Chinese pastoral dog, "Hammer". According to the requirements of the Tang Dao, it was taken into the tunnel by the soldiers from 3:00 pm.
Yes, as the best listening creature in the warehouse, Hammer must use his own efforts to prove to everyone that Tang Dao takes the risk to bring it back is the right decision.
Perhaps after experiencing hardships, not only humans are growing up, but dogs are the same.
Although it is not a rare breed or a pure Chinese pastoral dog, the hammer is smarter than everyone imagined. It was quiet all afternoon and was not disturbed by some vibrations coming from the ground. Until five minutes ago, its ears suddenly stood up and its eyes were staring at the earth wall ahead.
The thick soil blocks both human sight and human hearing, but it may not necessarily block the ears of dogs with sixteen times human hearing.
"The Japanese dig a little slow!" Tang Dao swallowed the last bite of dough, sighed slightly, and a cold light appeared in his eyes. "Transfer my order, everyone withdraws from the tunnel, then draws water into it, and fills it with me!"
"Yes!" Niu Er turned around and left excitedly.
"Squad leader, aren't we going to dig through the tunnel and meet the Japanese to kill them?" A soldier quietly touched Li Jiujin, full of doubts.
"Are you stupid? You can guarantee that you can meet the Japanese by digging a tunnel in such a big place? Do you think you are a god!" The veteran Yuzi rolled his eyes.
"What's the name of sir?" The veteran Yuzi tried hard to make an allusion to explain it to the soldier with obvious IQ urgently.
"The Seven Army Flooded!" Yang Xiaoshan helped to replenish.
"Yes, it's just flooding the Seventh Army." The veteran Yuzi slapped his hands. "Extend the tunnel for twenty or thirty meters, and then dig the passage horizontally. If the Japanese don't dig it up, what will happen if they dig the waterway? "
"Everyone needs to drink the water!" Erya, who was in a depressed mood, was illuminating his eyes.
"What should I do if I didn't dig the waterway, for example, it's just a few meters away." The soldier was a stubborn man and was unwilling to be a fool.
However, his idea is not impossible.
"Hey! You stupid guy!" The veteran Yuzi shook his head. "You don't understand why you think the superior puts the hammer there and listens, just to discover it in advance, so that you can put water and soak the soil sooner!
How many sleepers have we used to support this twenty meters? The Japanese just wanted to explode. Do you think they would be willing to use so much wood?"
Everyone suddenly realized it! Gripping their teeth and breathing!
It was not that they felt sad for the Japanese army that was about to usher in a tragic fate, but that they finally understood why Chief Tang was so keen on digging tunnels.
It turns out that whether it is digging water into the warehouse or digging out, they are all preparing early to fill the Japanese army who want to play mouse tactics!
