Your Excellency, we have found some tunnels. ”

In a trench on Heights 6, Nagai Shosa looked at Heights 2 opposite with a telescope and could see the fortifications very clearly.

When the tunnel was being built, the officers and men of the 108th Regiment also built some positions on the surface, but they were not as perfect as the tunnel.

"You mean the Shina people might be hiding underground?" Nagai Shaoza put down the binoculars and hesitated.

"Hey!" The lieutenant nodded.

"So what are you waiting for? Find the hole and blow it up. Since these Shina people are willing to hide underground, let them stay underground all the time.

Leave some of the men to blow up these holes, and the rest continue to attack, and must capture these high grounds. ”

"Hey!"

The lieutenant was ordered to leave.

Soon, Liu Sandao and the others in the underground tunnel heard dense footsteps near the mouth of the tunnel, as well as the sound of explosions.

It was a mine set up by these soldiers, placed at the mouth of the cave, to warn the people in the tunnel that the enemy was approaching the hole.

As for the soldiers in the tunnel, they all know where the mines are, so they will try to avoid accidental injuries when entering and exiting.

"Be careful, the devil seems to be coming." When Liu Sandao heard those movements, he hurriedly reminded his subordinates to be quiet.

For a moment, the soldiers held their breath, guns in their hands, pointing in the direction of the hole.

The location of the cave and the place where the soldiers are hiding are not a straight tunnel, but a curved one, so that even if the devil enters the hole, he will not be able to injure the soldiers in the cave by firing or machine gun fire.

If you enter the cave entrance, you will find that there is a wall on the left and right sides of the tunnel a few meters away, so you can't see the depth of the tunnel.

This was deliberately dug when digging the tunnel, and a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, the tunnel suddenly turned to the side, so as to block the view from the entrance of the cave.

Then Leng Jie asked people to make a few holes in this wall, the holes were not big, but they could allow the soldiers in the tunnel to aim at the enemy at the entrance of the hole. As long as the enemy dares to enter, the soldiers in the tunnel can kill the enemy at the entrance of the cave by fighting casually, but the enemy at the entrance of the cave is helpless against the soldiers in the tunnel.

Because this so-called wall is not artificially built, and it has more than a foot of earth, even a machine gun cannot penetrate it.

"Yaga, the people inside come out quickly, we know that you are inside, as long as you surrender to the Great Japanese Empire, the Great Japanese Empire will spare your life."

"What is this? I talked a lot. In the tunnel, a soldier whispered.

"Don't think about it, let us go out and surrender or something, I don't understand the devil's bird language." The soldier next to him said.

Just when they thought that the devil was just that, someone shouted in Chinese outside.

"Brothers of the national army inside, come out soon, the imperial army will not kill us. We are on the side, we have all surrendered, you all come out and surrender. ”

Hearing this, someone began to wonder, "What's the matter, has anyone surrendered?" ”

"This is speaking Chinese! Is it true? ”

"What a hammer!" Liu Sandao knocked on the heads of these subordinates, "Didn't you hear where this dialect is?" The accent of southern Fujian, where do we have soldiers nearby, nine times out of ten are those Taiwanese, and their words are very close to Hokkien.

I heard from the regiment commander that it is very likely that the Potian detachment that attacked us was the Taiwanese mixed brigade. The officers are Japanese, the soldiers are Taiwanese, and it is normal for them to speak Chinese. ”

"What? That's the Chinese? ”

"What Chinese? That's a bunch of dog traitors. ”

For a while, these soldiers were a little excited, these traitors were the most hated, and they were even more ruthless than devils to their compatriots.

"Settle down, make a hammer!" Liu Sandao scolded in a low voice, and then shouted in the direction of the cave entrance with a different voice, "How can we believe that you are our ally?" If you want us to go out, you can come in first! ”

Saying that, Liu Sandao asked people to prepare in the shooting hole, and said in a low voice, "As long as someone comes in later, no matter who it is, they will shoot me to death." ”

At this time, the positions above the head were all Japanese troops, and those who came in were either Japanese soldiers or traitors, and they were not worthy of mercy.

A few soldiers nodded, and put their guns in the shooting holes.

While everyone was waiting, someone actually came in, but as soon as the person came in, several gunshots rang out, and screams rang out.

The devil outside began to curse, and then pulled the man out of the hole.

Just as everyone in the tunnel was laughing, an explosion came, and then the entrance of the cave suddenly collapsed, and the tunnel, which was still a little bright, suddenly became dark.

It was as if the tunnel was cut off from the outside world, except for the faint sound of gunfire coming through the vents from time to time.

It's not that the gunshots are too far away, but because of the thick layer of soil, the sound has become much weaker.

"Company commander, what should I do? The hole collapsed. Someone worried.

"It's collapsed, it's nothing, just wait, and in the evening, let's go out and hang around again and give a gift to the devil." Liu Sandao didn't care, sat next to the small stool, lit a cigarette unique to Sichuan, smoked the horn, and passed the boring time.

Life in the tunnel is boring and tasteless, and the kerosene lamp does not have much oil, and under normal circumstances, it will not be lit all the time, and the people inside will only distinguish the situation in the tunnel by the weak light that penetrates through the vent.

The equipment of the Chinese army is very poor, this is only a company, it is impossible to have a telephone or radio or anything, it is impossible to get in touch with the main position at all, all they have to do is wait until it gets dark, and then go out to breathe fresh air and sneak attack the Japanese army.

Subsequently, several explosions were heard on Heights 6, and it was clear that the Japanese had blown up all the holes they had found.

Since the Chinese troops inside don't come out, let's suffocate inside.

However, in order to prevent the Chinese army from digging through the hole of the explosion, the Japanese army also sent special personnel to guard it.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, as long as there is a day or two, the Chinese army inside will die if they do not die.

Because the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce, it was very unfavorable to engage the Japanese army during the day, so the soldiers of the No. 2 Heights, including the two small heights No. 5 and No. 7, also hid in the tunnels after resisting for a while.

Heights 2 resisted on the ground for a while, and in the end most of them managed to take refuge in the tunnels, and some of those who did not have time to enter the tunnels withdrew to their positions on Heights 11 or Heights 1 and 3 in the middle of the three main heights.

Therefore, at 11 o'clock in the morning of September 18, the Japanese army captured an important high ground in Zhu Po Mountain and many secondary high ground around it.

Although the location of the No. 2 Heights is not the highest on the side of Zhu Po Mountain, when the Japanese military flag was planted on the highest part of the high ground, it was still seen by the observation post at the headquarters of the 18th Division, and then the news of the loss of part of the position on Zhu Po Mountain was reported to the division headquarters.
