Chapter 325: Tunnel Excavation
The same scene is still playing out in various other places, the fighting brings huge casualties, most of the people who rushed out used their bodies to hit the Japanese machine-gun fire, this is no longer a tough battle, but a naked massacre, and all this is caused by the impatience of the chairman, but also the field commander's order for Bao Shitu.

On the left side, the slope of only one football field was already densely packed with corpses, shattered, sieve, and smashed by bullets, and stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere, and blood seeped into the red earth under his feet, making the red earth even more red, red purple, red and bloody.
Under the huge casualties, no one dared to retreat, because advancing is death, retreating is death, and there are soldiers of the Inspectorate team holding guns aimed at the soldiers charging in front, because once they withdraw, they may die tragically under the guns of their own people at any time, and finally the soldiers in front are all killed and wounded, and the living ones are also some soldiers who were seriously injured and broke their hands and feet, and now even if they are allowed to come down, they can't withdraw anymore, at that moment, maybe the bullet hit the head, but it is a mercy, At least they don't have to suffer anymore.
The assault troops in front were killed and wounded, and the losses of the main fort here were basically negligible, but the soldiers they had lost more than a thousand people, and it became a huge meat grinder, strangling those ant-like soldiers, or many people would be heartbroken and not worth it, but in the eyes of those generals who gave orders, they were just bargaining chips, knowing that they were dead and knowing that they were useless, they were forced to rush forward.
On Lu Hai's side, a company of the regiment commander fell to the ground under the fierce fire of the Japanese army, and finally even the regiment commander was beaten into a sieve by dense machine gun bullets, and the battle stopped, Lu Hai looked at these soldiers and officers who were simply sent to death in his heart and was also sad and helpless, corpses and casualties, Lu Hai saw a lot, in Taierzhuang in Yuwang Mountain, he saw more than this, he saw more in Paishi, and he saw a lot in the subsequent battles, but this kind of death attack was the first time he saw it, he was not a direct unit, he could refuse to carry out military orders, but these soldiers and these officers can't, and the military law is like a mountain and suddenly has such a bit of irony here!
As these soldiers were exhausted on the battlefield, this suicide attack finally stopped, because even if we were investing in a regiment and a division, in exchange for a huge casualty, maybe we would kill them, because there were not many Japanese troops inside, but how many soldiers' lives would we have to exchange for them? How much cannon fodder is left for us by this nation?
Looking at Lu Hai's eyes were a little wet, and the eyes of the soldiers who fired together were also wet, some soldiers were angry and hurriedly held machine guns and fired fiercely at these Japanese machine guns, but some soldiers were holding their heads and smashing the trenches in front of them, scolding in their mouths, and scolding all kinds of so-called dirty words that did not enter the stream, but what use could all this be?
Lu Hai didn't shoot either, took a deep breath and said: "Machine gun alert, don't fire, the rest of the people will go back to me, dig immediately!" โ
"Yes!"
In the rear headquarters, looking at the telegram sent back, Song Xilian's face was pale, and Wei Lihuang was also pale, in just one day, it caused huge casualties of more than 1,500 white, but the position did not advance half a step, and the two-day operation of the Honor First Division actually caused huge losses of more than 3,000 people.
Wei Lihuang was silent for a long time and finally spoke: "Order to go down, stop the attack, pull the remaining troops of the 36th Division up, and surround me!" โ
"Yes!"
"Commander, the troops on the periphery of the alert have found that a large group of Japanese troops is coming towards Matsuyama for reinforcements!" A communications soldier said.
"Order down, the 1st Division of Honor will stop attacking, not a single bird of the Japanese troops surrounding the top of the mountain can be released, the 36th Division will immediately set up an ambush on the periphery of the Japanese army, and this group of Japanese troops must be completely annihilated!" Wei Lihuang slammed the table and said.
The Japanese army in Songshan has extremely strong fortifications, so it can't be defeated, but the Japanese army outside can always be defeated, and the losses are so big, the morale has all been low, if you don't win a battle, let alone the soldiers have no confidence, I'm afraid the prestige of Wei Lihuang and these people will not work!
In the dark night, a large group of Japanese troops dragged mountain artillery, with troops to Songshan side reinforcements, Songshan is extremely important to the strategic location of the Japanese army, so no matter what, Songshan must be kept, as long as Songshan is kept, the entire Yunnan-Burma highway will be blocked, and it can also contain a large number of Chinese troops, and the Japanese army will never give up on such a strategic place.
However, just as they approached Matsuyama in the dark night, a dense and sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded overhead, and a dense number of cannonballs appeared overhead.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The violent explosion sounded violently, and the formation of the Japanese army was directly hit by large-caliber shells, especially a shell directly smashed into the ranks of the Japanese army, and in the roaring firelight, dozens of Japanese soldiers were blown up, killed and wounded, but all this was just the beginning, the second shot, the second round, the third round, thousands of shells slammed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers, many Japanese soldiers were blown up, and at the same time, on the hillsides on both sides, on the retreat road, there were many Chinese soldiers, The light and heavy machine guns on it also opened heavy fire on the Japanese troops.
For a time, the valley where the Japanese army was located completely became a place for the Chinese army to vent its anger, heavy artillery, mountain artillery, infantry artillery, all kinds of shells smashed over as if they did not want money, the Japanese army was bombed in the roar and suffered heavy casualties, at this time a series of mountains on both sides, all the positions in front and behind appeared ambushed soldiers to fire fiercely at the Japanese army, under such a fierce fire and fierce offensive, the panic of the Japanese army was more serious, and some of the Japanese troops panicked and desperately charged towards the rear position, I want to get out of here.
However, it is easy to get in and difficult to get out, flamethrowers at the front, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, carbines, these represent the most well-prepared army of the Second World War era, how can an army with two battalions of troops be broken through by hundreds of Japanese troops.
But seeing the light of the fire, the Japanese soldiers who charged up were knocked down by a series of bullets, and in some places the mortars were desperately bombarding the charging Japanese troops, and the strength of this brigade was also extremely heavy under such fierce firepower, in this case, the Japanese army was also slaughtered by our army, watching the Japanese soldiers fall one by one, and the soldiers of the 36th Division, who had personally experienced the bloody battle of Songshan, finally had a feeling of relief.
With the advance of the war, an hour later, the Japanese troops in this valley were annihilated one after another, and none of the Japanese troops in a brigade escaped, all of them were annihilated, that is, the head of the Japanese commander was also cut off, and the soldiers of the 36th Division moved closer to Songshan after the Japanese army was completely annihilated.
Similarly, on the top of the mountain, Lu Hai's earthwork continued, and after half a day of excavation, they also dug a tunnel more than 20 meters wide, more than one meter wide and more than two meters deep.
In order to ensure physical strength and efficiency, the soldiers digging in front of each other are also replaced with each other, digging maps, and transporting soil without delay. At this time, Lu Hai also took off his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and was covered in mud on the battlefield, but at this time, a communication soldier ran in and shouted: "Sir, telephone!" โ
Lu Hai put down his tools and walked out, and after a while, he picked up the phone and said, "I'm Lu Hai!" โ
"I'm Song Xilian!"
"Hello sir!"
"What's your situation now?"
"After our participation in the attack, it was ineffective, so we had to start digging the tunnel on our own, and more than 20 meters have been dug so far, and it is still in progress!"
"I'm sending you an additional battalion to dig this tunnel out in the shortest possible time!"
Seeing Song Xilian say this, Lu Hai knew that after this round of huge casualties, the commander above finally agreed to this plan, and said happily: "Yes!" โ
Hanging up the phone, Song Xilian picked up the phone again and said: "Commander Long, Lu Hai is fine, although they participated in the attack, they did not suffer too many casualties, and now they are still assisting our army in the attack on Songshan!" โ
"Then I'm relieved! Go get busy! โ
"Yes!"
Putting down the phone, Long Yun looked at Qiao Miao on the side and said with a smile: "Lu Hai's kid is fine, he is still on Songshan now, don't worry, Lu Hai is my army, and they don't dare to make a mistake!" โ
"Thank you, Chairman!" Qiao Miao said with a smile.
"It's not too early, and you're going back to rest!"
"Yes, thank you, Chair!" Qiao Miao thanked her repeatedly, and then walked out, but Lu Han just walked in, Qiao Miao said hello to Lu Han and then withdrew, Lu Han walked in and said, "Big brother, why is this little girl here?" โ
"Come and ask about Lu Hai's situation, the casualties on the front line are too large, and it is normal for her to worry!"
Lu Han nodded, and then took out a list and said: "These are basically the lists of the Communist Party that have been collected, and she is also in it!" โ
Long Yun was silent for a moment and said, "Does the military commander know about this?" โ
"I don't know, what I'm thinking about is that the activities of the Communist Party in Yunnan are becoming more and more active, and I collect these just in case!"
Long Yun took the list and looked at it and said: "Now is the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, in fact, they are also patriotic and good people, attacking them is attacking our national defense forces, besides, we don't need to participate in this matter, we will continue to explain, and no one will be allowed to leak this matter!" โ
"Yes!" Lujรกn said.
Saying that, Long Yun tore open the roster and threw it into the stove next to him... (To be continued.) )
