When I came out of the command and returned to the tunnel, I found that the fighters had already started digging the tunnel on their own initiative. The U.S. artillery shells overhead were still blowing up one after another, and the tunnels were full of ding, ding, and the sound of knocking stones, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of pine oil, sweat, and feet.

"Let's see." On a whim, I said to Wang Yuehan and Wang Yiming.

"Welcome!" Wang Yiming agreed: "Commander Cui, you have been busy shooting cold guns during this time, and you have no time to guide our tunnel operations, so you can test our work if you are free now."

Hearing this, Wang Yuehan couldn't help but smile and said, "A capable person like Captain Cui!" It's best to have a doppelganger technique, and one person can divide half of it! ”

Everyone laughed and talked as they walked into the tunnel.

It is a horseshoe-shaped tunnel with a cross-section that resembles a bow. The difference between a horseshoe-shaped pit and a straight-walled vault-shaped pit tunnel. The horseshoe-shaped pit is relatively low. It is similar to the passage, and it is also a kind of aisle-style tunnel, but because it is connected to the cantonment tunnel, in order to facilitate the soldiers to quickly withdraw from the tunnel or attack from the tunnel, so the bottom is leveled and widened, so that the soldiers can quickly run in it with weapons.

The deeper you go, the worse the air gets, and it gets hotter and hotter. After a while, they came to the end of the tunnel, and the pine oil lamps and charcoal lamps illuminated the whole tunnel red, and five warriors were squatting or kneeling and were busy beating the rocks with hammers and iron xuan.

"Joy and longevity".

"Chief of Staff Wang!"

"Company Commander Wang!" The fighters saw us and walked in. They stopped what they were doing and raised their hands to salute us, but because the tunnel was too low, they couldn't 'stand up'.

"Keep going!" Seeing this, I hurriedly said to them: "Comrades have worked hard, this work is 'very' tiring!" ”

"Not tired!" A shirtless soldier covered in stinky sweat was busy bringing stones for the three of us to sit on as a stool, and said with a smile: "No matter how hard and tired we are, we can't shout in front of you, Commander Cui!" We're sweating, you're bleeding! ”

"Yes, Captain Cui". Another small soldier sat on the ground and said, "Tired or not, it's just a little panicked in my heart." We've all been holding guns for nearly ten years, and now we're here all day long with a hammer to smash the iron edge, and then we see that you have defeated a *** American devil, and we are also thinking about when we can 'touch' it and shoot a few fucking shots! ”

"Ma Xiaohu!" Listening to the warrior's words, Wang Yiming's voice changed, and he scolded the tall warrior: "I said that you belong to the stone or what? I've done your ideological work several times, why do you still hold on to this kind of thinking."

"Company commander!" The warrior, known as Ma Xiaohu, hesitated and said, "It's not that I can't open my mind and hold on to this thought. The warriors are all thinking about it, but they don't say it."

"Captain Cui". After a pause, Ma Xiaohu continued: "We don't have any opinions on you!" We were suffocated by those American devils in the tunnel, and we couldn't even go out to dry a quilt, but fortunately, we taught them hard and helped us out of nausea Let's thank you for coming in a hurry! We just have itchy hands sometimes, and we want to go out and shoot a few shots! ”

"You" was said by Ma Xiaohu, and Wang Yiming was suddenly so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Company Commander Wang!" I patted Wang Yiming on the shoulder and said, "It's normal for soldiers to have this kind of thought!" If I had been smashing rocks with a hammer all day long, maybe I would have thought the same way! ”

"Captain! But this" Wang Yiming wanted to say something, but I raised my hand to stop it.

"Comrades". I said to Ma Xiaohu and others: "I won't say much about things like organizational 'sex' and discipline 'sex', comrades are all people who have been in the army for many years, and they all understand that they must obey discipline." What I'm saying is, don't underestimate the work of digging tunnels! We're fighting hard outside, fighting hard so that you can build a better tunnel here, you know?

"What?" Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Do you really think we're going out to shoot cold guns to vent our gas?" I smiled and said to the fighters: "Comrades! Fighting a war has never been fought for the sake of anger, fighting for the sake of anger, that is what bandits and robbers can do, and we are soldiers, and soldiers must have a strategic purpose in fighting.

After a pause, I continued: "We also have sacrifices in cold shooting, and every time we defeat a Yankee, we have to fight with our lives, which is almost life for life." The life of the Yankees is fate, and the lives of our volunteers are also fate, and a cold gun cannot capture the enemy's position.

This can neither kill more enemies nor seize more positions, so let's risk our lives to shoot cold, in order to do it? So that you can have more space outside the tunnel, so that you can go out of the tunnel to get logs, so that you can better build the tunnel! ”

"Yes! Comrades! Wang Yuehan took advantage of the situation and said: "What Regiment Commander Cui said is very reasonable, and the comrades also know how Regiment Commander Cui trains those troops who shoot cold guns, they often lurk in the formation for a day and a night, a day and a night!" Have you ever been lying motionless in one place for a day and a night? Is it as easy as you think? Like you say, how many shots did you 'touch' to the position? I remember a soldier who shot a cold gun, Liu Liangjin from the second class, after he came back from lurking, his face was bitten by ants. What are they suffering for this reason? For a ,,, to make it more convenient for you to build a tunnel! And you are in the midst of all the troubles...'yin':,

"Chief of Staff Wang, Commander Cui". Ma Xiaohu said with guilt: "I, I know it's wrong."

"Comrades!" I added: "Actually, our work is the same, and the purpose of our cold guns is to reduce the casualties of our troops." The same goes for you to build tunnels! If we have been lurking in the position for a day, we may only be able to destroy one enemy, but if you swing a hammer for a day, you may be able to ensure the safety of ten soldiers! ”

"Good!" Ma Xiaohu rolled up his sleeves without saying a word and said: "Listen to Captain Cui, let's take wielding a hammer as saving the lives of our comrades."

There was a loud cry, and the warriors all laughed happily.

"Captain Cui!" After carefully returning to my headquarters on the blade heights along the enemy's 'shooting' corner, Wang Yuehan patted the dust on his body, took out a topographic map from his pocket and said: "During this time, you have been busy practicing soldiers to shoot cold guns, and I didn't dare to ask you. You see, this is the tunnel we've been building during this time, and I've marked it all on this map! ”

"Hmm". I nodded, took the map, and spread it out on it. "This, this, and this," Wang Yuehan introduced beside him: "Because we can only sneak down the mountain to transport some logs in the dark night, some tunnels cannot be drilled deep because they cannot be reinforced, and they may all collapse if they are blown up!" However, Wang Yiming came up with an idea to divide the soldiers into three shifts, and they took turns digging tunnels day and night, isn't this? At present, there are seven or eight tunnels more than 20 meters deep in each of the two highlands, and they have also dug passages between each other according to the requirements of Commander Cui. It should be about the same now! ”

"Almost?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What is almost?".

"That's almost enough!" Wang Yuehan explained: "Our two companies only have more than 100 people in total! There are only seventy or eighty people on a high ground, and ten people live in a tunnel, and the warriors feel that it is spacious! ”

"That's about it?" I smiled and shook my head, but without further ado, I picked up my pencil and drew on the topographic map and said, "There is a mountain range between the Blade 7 Heights and the Concave 'Yin' Heights, and the terrain of this mountain is even lower than the enemy's position. In the event of a war, the mountain range in the middle will be an excellent place for the enemy to cut off the connection between our two heights, so it is necessary to construct a passage from the 7th Heights to the Sukekou Heights."

"Captain Cui!" Seeing that I had drawn a long line between the two highlands, Wang Yuehan couldn't help but be shocked: "The distance between these two highlands is five or six hundred meters, and such a long one should be dug through."

"Most of our tunnels are in the middle and upper part of the highlands!" I ignored Wang Yuehan's surprise and continued to use a pencil on the map to say: "This kind of tunnel fortification has no defensive depth to speak of, it is too rigid, and the enemy will remember the coordinates of our tunnel after attacking it once, and it will be easy to seal us with artillery fire." So, we also had to build four or five tunnels in the lower part of the highlands and seven or eight semi-open tunnels at the top. In this way, the firepower at the top of the mountain, the mountainside, and the foot of the mountain can be combined to cover each other

"Captain Cui!" Wang Yuehan's face changed a little: "This is not something that can be built in a while, do we have so much time?"

"To strengthen the connection between the top of the mountain, the mountainside, and the foot of the mountain!" As if I hadn't heard Wang Yuehan's words, I said to myself: "We will also dig a passage from the top of the mountain to the foot, so that to a great extent we can enhance the mobility of our army, so that our army's troops can move freely on the top of the mountain, on the mountainside, and at the foot of the mountain, and can strike at the enemy by surprise from any point."

Looking at Wang Yuehan again, she was so surprised that she couldn't even speak.

I easily threw my pen on the honeycomb-like map and said with a smile, "This is just the underground tunnels!" There must also be some necessary field fortifications on the surface, for example, there must be trenches on both sides of the tunnel mouth to facilitate the deployment of troops, and there must be 'cross' trenches leading to the hilltop position. so that the fighters can enter positions or withdraw to the tunnels under enemy fire".

"Still, is there anything else?" Wang Yuehan asked bitterly, and there seemed to be beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Isn't that enough? Then let me think again

No, no, I reached out and took the pen again, Wang Yuehan hurriedly snatched the map and said, "Captain Cui, aren't you embarrassed for me?" You know that most of these two highlands are hard rock formations, and you have to make them look like a hornet's nest, where is this still a tunnel, this is simply the underground Great Wall."

"You're right, all I want to do is the underground Great Wall!" I should be.

"Captain Cui!" Wang Yuehan looked at the map again, and said with some hesitation: "You also know, our two highlands are not the focus of my defense, yes, is it necessary to make the fortifications like this?" Besides, let's just do that, if it really happens like this, this won't take more than half a year to get in discord."

"Anyway, the fighters are idle, aren't they? I said noncommittally: "No one can say for sure what happened on the battlefield, and maybe the US military will still take our two highlands as the focus of attack!" Isn't there a saying? Sweat more before the war, shed less blood during the war, we can't go wrong with more preparation before the war! What's more, now that the enemy and the enemy are on both sides, there will be no big moves on both sides in the short term, and the six battles and ten can't eat Gong Si and can't shoot cold, so what are you letting them stay in the tunnel? Eat and sleep all day long? After a few months, they will still be able to go to war? ”

"That's right!" Listening to this, Wang Yuehan couldn't help but nod lightly.

"So! Chief of Staff Wang". I said lightly: "You can train your body in front of the soldiers, and you are responsible for commanding Company Commander Wang and Company Commander Zhang to build fortifications on these two heights." I'll be in charge of shooting cold shots, how about it? ”

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan 'straightened' up, but when he saw the black lines on the map in his hand, he couldn't help but shudder.

After sending Wang Yuehan away, I dragged my tired feet to the 'bed', turned over and lay down. I secretly thought in my heart, this is really tiring enough to be a big official, and now I am actually the leader with the largest official rank of the 7 highlands and the highlands, and I have to deal with all the big and small affairs. This is not? Not only did they have to take the soldiers to shoot cold, but they also had to 'worry' about the tunnel fortifications in the two Kamikotachi areas. But then again, if you follow the requirements of your superiors, the tunnel can be built like this. It's not that I'm asking for my own hardships and forcing the soldiers to toss.

The tunnel fortifications in Shangganling in history should be about what we are now! Now, because of my existence, the tunnel fortifications in Shangganling will be built into a defense system that extends in all directions and is interconnected, what kind of impact will this have on this battle?

I only hope that the volunteer soldiers will have fewer casualties,,

Thinking about it, my eyelids became heavier and heavier, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

"Tart dong bite, tart dong bite!"

I was woken up by a rhythmic sound of allegro. Before I could open my eyes, I heard a few faint cheers from the passage, and then I heard a loud male voice and an allegro say:

The position is our living shooting range, and cold shooting of the enemy should be advocated!

Ratt knock tart, tart tart!

Let's see who has the best skills, shoot and aim at each other, and send him to Hades one by one!

Tart Tart, Tart Tart Tart!

Accumulate a lot of victories, and the heroes are famous! Fame!

"Good! One more! ”

"One more!" I got up from the 'bed' suspiciously, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, but I saw Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei stretching their necks at the passage to look at something.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Captain, you're awake!" Zhang Mingxue cheered and said, "Master Wang sent us a art troupe!" Say that we have won the battle, and we have come to work for us! ”

"Yes, Captain!" Xu Yongwei also said: "We didn't dare to wake you up when we saw that you were asleep, and there are buns!" It was Master Wang who specially asked the cooking class to improve our food! ”

"Hmm!" Following Zhang Mingxue's gesture, I saw a bowl with two buns on my desktop.

At this time, I was really hungry, and without saying a word, I grabbed one and bit it. Hey! It's still stuffed with pig 'meat', this thing is a treasure on the battlefield, and Master Wang is really interesting!

"Have you all eaten?" looked at Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei with drooling looks. I couldn't help but ask.

"Yet, I haven't eaten yet!" Zhang Mingxue smiled embarrassedly, took out a bun from his arms and said, "I haven't been willing to eat it yet!" Everybody, one for each person".

"What?. I stretched out my hand to the second bun, and when I heard it, I couldn't help but shrink back: "Why do I have two?" ”

"That's Counselor Wang" Xu Yongwei explained: "He said that this credit is yours, and he will not be rewarded for it!"

"". Without further questioning, I grabbed the rest of the bun and walked into the tunnel towards the pit next to it.

I couldn't help but be stunned when I got out of the passage, it was called a sea of people, dozens of soldiers crowded this tunnel that was only more than 20 meters deep, where would I find Wang Yuehan's shadow!

"Captain Cui".

"Captain Cui!"

While I was in a daze, the warriors noticed me and stood up to make way for me. Only then did I see a slightly larger area in the center of the tunnel, and under two pine oil lamps, two men and three 'women' were holding various musical instruments and opening the field.

When one of the 'female' soldiers holding the accordion saw this scene, she hurriedly put down the accordion in her arms and greeted her, and enthusiastically stretched out her hand and said, "You are the head of the regiment!" I am Li 'Yu' Ying, the head of the Sword Master Art Troupe! When we came, we heard from the guard that you were asleep, so we didn't bother you! ”

"Hmm!" I heard that she was the head of the art troupe, so I took a look at her more, wearing a set of tender green 'color' military uniform, a brown 'color' belt tied around her slender waist, a little sea under the military hat, and small braids tied on both sides, and a pair of big black eyes that made people always feel a little smiling. I can't help but feel a little strange when I look at her, she's only twenty. is already the head of the art troupe,

"Captain Cui?" Seeing that I was stunned, Li 'Yu' Ying couldn't help but cry out in doubt.

"Oh, hello! Hello". I hurriedly stretched out my hand, but suddenly found that I was still holding a bun in my hand, and hurriedly retracted my hand. It only made the soldiers laugh.

I couldn't help but blush, and scolded secretly, how could I always make such an embarrassment when I met a 'woman'!
