772 cut the cable

After facing huge casualties, the Qi army had to return to its original starting point. If you want to take the position of the Qin army, then you must adopt a more stupid method, which is to dig trenches for siege.

Face the machine-gun killing frenzy in the open area. The Qi army can only narrow this gap as much as possible.

"Sir, those Qi troops have been digging trenches on the opposite side of us, and these trenches are getting closer to us little by little." A Qin army observation post observed.

"Yes. I know. A kind of captain officer of the Qin army took the binoculars handed over by the soldier and looked at it.

"They're just digging like that?" The captain asked.

"Yes. I've been digging like this all morning. The soldier said.

"Can we do something about it?" The captain asked.

"Well, we've tried it. It didn't work. The soldier said.

"Well, what method do you use?" The captain asked.

"Machine gun fire. There were also rifles for accurate shooting, but they were all hiding in the trenches. We can only see through the telescope that they are constantly cleaning up the excavated soil. We can't do anything but that. The soldier replied.

"Well, give the order to the machine gun. Shoot it and see. The captain said.

"Yes, sir." The soldier replied. Then Qin's machine guns began to fire.

"Sudden thud. Sudden protrusions. "The machine gun fired three bursts in succession at the excavated land.

"Oh. Damn it. The captain could clearly see through his binoculars that the bullet had hit only the soil. In response, the Qi army continued to clean up the soil.

"Looks like our machine guns aren't working." The captain said helplessly.

"Keep an eye on them. Shoot with a machine gun as much as possible. Keep in mind that the machine gun has to change positions constantly. The captain said.

"Sir, can we do an attack with mortars." The soldier suggested.

"Well, yes, but there aren't many shells. And the effect is not very noticeable. I'll report it, okay. Hold one's ground. The captain said. Subsequently, the captain reported the new situation to the field commander. But the commander also had no way. Because mortars need a certain density to be effective. But apparently this situation is beyond their capabilities.

"It's impossible for us to launch artillery fire on those mound targets. Moreover, we are already running out of ammunition. We need to use it when the enemy is attacking. There is nothing we can do about these situations. The Major explained.

"Alright. I'll report these to the people above. The Major continued.

"Sergeant. Give me the tower side, I need to pay attention to the situation here, and at the same time give the above a detailed explanation of the situation here, so that they can find a way to solve this problem for us as soon as possible. The major said.

And when the major asked the sergeant to explain the situation. Qi Jun discovered a major secret here.

"Hey, old masked. You see, what kind of rattan is this. "A recruit keeps digging and discovers something new. It's buried in the earth, and at the same time, it's as soft as a tree. But it's not the root of the plant. This plant-like thing is the cable line that Qin Jun buried in the ground. Cables were an important tool for the Qin army to keep in touch with each other and at the same time call on firepower to suppress their opponents. These cable lines are in turn the telephone contact lines between the Qin army in the warehouse defense area and the tower area. At the same time, another cable line was buried with the telegraph cable laid around the periphery of the Qin army. In order to complete the construction of the airport as soon as possible, the engineering team adopted a single buried cable. According to the original plan, the cables were separated, but now, both cables have been discovered.

"Oh, yes, I haven't seen this thing before." As he spoke, the old man with the hooded head bent down and picked up the cable and looked at it carefully.

"This thing is like a branch, but it's not a branch." The veteran took a look.

"Look. And here's more. As he spoke, the recruit continued to pull along the cable, and all of a sudden, more and more cables were discovered.

"There's still one here." The recruit said, pointing to what he had unearthed.

"That's right. And here's more. The recruit said.

"What is this?" More and more soldiers came around, and they didn't know what it was. As everyone knows, this was an important and important means of communication for the Qin army to maintain close contact with each other.

"What is this?" The soldiers kept putting down their work and asked. "Who knows, and doesn't know what this thing is." As he spoke, a soldier tugged hard.

"Hey, hey. I can't hear you clearly. Major Qin Jun shouted loudly.

"Snort." There was a constant "snort" on the phone.

"Louder." The Major shouted loudly.

"And that's more." A soldier shouted loudly. As he spoke, he dragged it over.

"This, this, it's so hard to pull out." The soldier said. As he spoke, he pulled out the knife he was carrying and slashed hard.

And on the other end. Major Qin Jun shouted loudly.

"Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Major Qin Jun kept shouting.

"Toot toot." There was a hang-up sound on the phone.

"Hung up. What the hell is going on. The major said dissatisfied.

"Signal Corps. Let's see what the hell is going on. The Major ordered.

"Yes, sir." One soldier replied.

"Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Please reply, please reply. A sergeant shouted.

"How's it going?" The lieutenant colonel asked.

"The phone hung up." The sergeant replied.

"What? Hang up? "The lieutenant colonel couldn't believe it. The other party actually hung up the phone.

The major anxiously walked around his headquarters.

He didn't know what the other party was doing, so he hung up the phone.

"Report, sir. A new problem has arisen. A second lieutenant said anxiously.

"What's the problem?" The Major asked.

"Our telegram can't be delivered." The second lieutenant said.

"What? Can't send a report? What is the reason, do you find out? The Major asked.

"We're looking into this, but we suspect there's something wrong with the line. Our indicator light is not on. And, worst of all, ours could not ・・・・・・・・ with us," the second lieutenant said anxiously.

"Report, telephone line, telephone line," the soldier rushed to report.

"Say." The major said as he looked at the soldier.

"Our phone lines seem to have been cut." The soldier said.

"What?" The Major asked in surprise.

"Yes, sir, it looks like our phone lines have been cut. Our outpost just reported that they saw the Qi army digging up where we had buried the cables. It is estimated that our cables have been cut off. The soldier said.

"Oh. Damn the people of the Qi Kingdom. The major complained.

"Let's go, I want to see, what the hell is going on?" The major was a little reluctant. It's not just poor communication that's a big deal.

"Oh. Damn it. The major scolded when he saw the Qi army digging trenches. The trenches of the Qi army were dug very quickly. And I don't have any way to do it.

"Sir, that location is where we buried the cables." One soldier said, gesturing to where the cable was buried.

"Oh." As he spoke, the major looked through his binoculars. Nothing can be seen though. The main thing is that they are all mounds of earth, and the Qi army is hiding in the trenches.

"Why are we burying the damn cable in that location." The major really didn't dare to compliment his luck, because the place where the cable was buried happened to be cut by the Qi army.

And all the soldiers did not speak, they also felt that their point was back, and they lacked enough luck for themselves. Moreover, all of them are aware of a serious problem, and that is that they are completely surrounded. And there is no contact with the outside world, and they didn't think it was a big deal before. At least they can stay in touch. But now, the cable is being cut. It means that they don't know anything about what's going on in the outside world.

"Got it. Everyone stay vigilant. "The Major has managed to exercise some restraint, and he needs to go back to his headquarters and think about what to do. Is there any way to remedy this.

"Is the situation clear?" The lieutenant colonel on the other end asked anxiously.

"The situation is clear. It is very likely that the Qi army dug up our cables. Telephone contact between us, as well as telegraph, they were cut off from the outside world. An officer reported.

"However, there is also good news, that is, our cables are still usable." The officer continued.

"Oh. Got it. "The lieutenant colonel was a little listless.

"Sir, I think we should report this situation to the people above, and let them solve it." The officer suggested.

"Okay, you can do it." The lieutenant colonel waved his hand, and the officer saluted and left, and he reported the situation to the Qin State General Staff.

Qin's Xianyang General Staff.

"Sir, we've got a big problem." A lieutenant colonel hurried over with a telegram in hand.

"What's the problem?" Yang Duanhe asked.

"The cable lines in our warehouse area were cut. They have no connection with each other, and, judging by the current situation. Our tower area is also not very safe, because the Qi army is also digging trenches there. Sooner or later, they'll dig up the cables there. The lieutenant colonel analyzed.

"What do you mean?" Yang Duanhe asked.

"We could be cut off at any time, and at that time, ・・・・・・," the lieutenant colonel said with a dismal voice.

"That's the big problem. Our people are about to enter a real siege. Wang Jian said at this time.

"Once the contact is cut off. That's a big problem. ”

"But there's no way that can't happen." Wang Jian said.

"Think of a way. We need to restore contact as soon as possible. Wang Jian said.
