Chapter 242: The Army in the Tunnel
Because, the losses of the Chinese army are far less significant than the Japanese army imagined!
Han Feng has long been wary of the Japanese army's hand.
In order to ensure the safety of the troops and hold their positions, he ordered the troops to dig a large number of bomb shelters.
Some of the tunnels were also dug very deep.
Jinling is an important town for thousands of years, with many solid buildings, and the ground is particularly strong and hard.
It is very difficult to dig tunnels and bomb shelters on such ground.
However, who would dare not listen to Han Feng's orders?
Han Feng's prestige is already terrifying.
Everyone is serious about implementation, lest Han Feng be dissatisfied.
Last night, Han Feng led his troops to participate in the battle, and the personnel left behind in the position under his command, under the command of Chief of Staff Fan Yanyang, carried out civil engineering works all night.
These tunnels were learned by Han Feng based on his knowledge and experience, from the Pacific War and the Battle of the Peninsula.
The side with insufficient firepower must build a solid tunnel system!
Therefore, the Chinese army actually dug a large number of deep and wide tunnels.
These tunnels are five meters deep, three meters deep, or even more than ten meters deep underground.
The officers and men also excavated some of the existing air-raid shelters in depth and breadth.
In this way, there are a large number of solid and deep tunnels near each core battlefield. Bomb shelter.
Yes, some tunnels, a little shallow, more than three meters, really can't withstand the 250 aerial bombs and 460 mm caliber huge artillery shells that the enemy smashed down head-on, but if they are a little deeper, it will be fine, as long as the shells and aerial bombs deviate a little, they will not collapse.
Moreover, under the leadership of Han Feng, most of the officers had participated in the Battle of Songhu, and knew the reason for the loss at that time, and at this time, they admired Han Feng's order very much, and they were trying to complete it.
The troops demolished a large number of nearby houses and obtained a large amount of firewood, which became important reinforcement materials.
Supporting wooden pillars, or frames laid horizontally, etc.
Even if some tunnels collapse, officers and soldiers can still survive in large numbers and wait for rescue by relying on these structures.
A solid landmark with plenty of bricks, stones, etc. We spread a lot of bricks on the ground, some tunnels and air-raid shelters, some extra bedding, etc., and also splashed cold water, moistened, and laid on the ground, on top, and then some soil, and so on!
It's a very powerful thing.
Although the futon cannot resist the shock wave and air waves, it can weaken most of the lethality!
Anyway, in the collapsed city, there are a large number of clothes for people's houses, bedding, and clothes on some corpses, which are also taken to make them.
In order to confuse the enemy, the Chinese army also massively uses disorienting tactics and false targets.
Many corpses were hidden near the tunnel, and after the enemy bombarded them, the enemy infantry looked at them, so many corpses, haha, our imperial artillery fire was very powerful!
Also, these tunnels are designed with closed openings!
Some of the observation holes, as soon as the enemy bombarded them with poison gas, were closed.
As soon as the enemy infantry followed, the entrances and exits were closed, confusing the enemy.
It can be said that these places under the city of Jinling have been hollowed out by the Chinese army!
Crisscross.
Once there is a tunnel collapse, everyone can give up and transfer.
Also, this city is being used for underground transportation and sewerage pipes.
The sewage and sludge were cleaned out and covered on the roads, and the stench was used to edify the enemy, and the fine and soft texture could also buffer the harm of the enemy's shelling.
Using the sewer pipeline, the Chinese army has blocked and renovated, which has also greatly saved worry and effort.
Therefore, the Japanese army seems to be grand and mighty, and the invincible super bombing is actually not very effective!
The Japanese bombed three times in succession, thinking that the Chinese army had been wiped out, but in fact, the losses of all parts of the Chinese army did not exceed one-fifth.
If it had been a normal battle, the Chinese army would have been wiped out if it had fought in the trenches!
Now almost no one is killed directly by enemy shells.
Mostly shockwave damage.
The shock waves of giant artillery shells and aerial bombs can penetrate the dirt and feel the internal organs of people in the tunnels and collapse!
There are also people who are deaf and deranged from shock.
Some things can be prevented, but they can't be completely prevented.
It was in the evening that the Japanese army advanced in full force.
In the middle of winter, the days were very short, and the Japanese troops who attacked in the afternoon, after watching a feast in purgatory, were full of ambition and began to advance on the ground at about five o'clock.
By this time, it was already dark.
The Japanese carried out another artillery bombardment by the infantry, forming a barrage, and the infantry followed.
In this way, the Japanese finally occupied all their positions!
Yes, all positions.
Surface positions.
And so on, and not all, because, in order to ensure the safety of the whole army, the Chinese army came out of the tunnels near the fortified buildings very early and entered the fortified buildings to fight, with the aim of attracting the attention of the enemy.
More than a dozen buildings near the Ruitai Building, five buildings near the Caiman Building, several buildings around the Military Grain City, those remnants of the buildings, the Chinese army appeared and fought against the Japanese army.
In this way, the devil thinks, well, it's good, all the other enemies have been wiped out, and there is only so little left, normal and reasonable!
In this way, the Japanese army will come to besiege and not be too serious about searching for the entrance and exit of the tunnel.
If the devil is not stressed, it is still quite dangerous to wholeheartedly search for and destroy the entrance and exit of the tunnel.
Han Feng's tunnel tactics are all-round tactics.
All the dangers were taken into account, and arrangements were made.
The Chinese army is hidden in underground tunnels and air-raid shelters.
Food, weapons and ammunition, drinking water, etc., were prepared.
In order to survive and dignity, the Chinese military and civilians have brought their abilities and wisdom into full play.
When the sky was completely dark, and the Japanese army was cheering wildly on the position to celebrate their victory, the Chinese army was in the tunnel and began to act!
In most areas, the Japanese army won, and a few buildings were surrounded by Japanese troops and shot, thinking that it was just around the corner!
They were not in a hurry, because the Japanese officers with strong military literacy told the soldiers that it was best to besiege and not attack, and wait for tomorrow, with another wave of artillery fire, and everything would be over!
"It's just a remnant!"
Just when the Japanese infantry was getting carried away, the Chinese troops felt that the enemy was not on the ground overhead, and had passed, so they opened the observation holes one after another, and then cleared the entrances and exits and began to come out.
Hehe, in most areas, there are no devils, and the devils are gathering in the mountains and forests in the center of the battlefields of various positions.
There are a lot of devils.
Listen to the sound and know it!
The devil himself, getting carried away, uses his own voice to navigate the Chinese army!
Isn't this looking for death?
Some tunnels can communicate with each other, everyone notifies, agrees, quickly clears the entrances and exits, and comes out one after another.
Hanfeng is here.
In some places, there have been fierce battles, and the devils are in trouble.
Han Feng led the troops to "go!" ”
In this way, the Chinese army appeared behind the enemy's back, forming a perimeter encirclement!
