Chapter 240: Blowing Up the 'Ground Mouse'

Listening to the gunshots and explosions that rang out in the city from time to time, looking at the wounded soldiers who were rushed out of the city from time to time, the Japanese army responsible for attacking the ruined city of Davao still felt that the city was far more dangerous than they imagined.

What frightened the encirclement and suppression troops the most was the endless danger hidden under the broken ruins. The occasional loud explosion makes the seat of ruins more and more dilapidated, but it also makes the city more and more dangerous.

The closer you get to the center of the Ruined City, every few small steps forward will cost you a lot of money. Searching all the way, the Japanese soldiers in charge of the search can no longer remember how many people have changed around them, and how many tanks have completely fallen on their stomachs.

But looking at the gunshots that rang out from time to time in the center of the city, the Japanese commanders in charge of the search still gritted their teeth and said: "Pay attention to tighten the encirclement, you must not let these damn attackers escape, they can't escape." ”

If the mines and explosives buried under the rubble are an important reason for their attrition. Then the snipers hidden in this ruined city are the guardian ghosts of the city, harvesting the lives of countless Japanese infantry along the way.

These snipers who make full use of the terrain of the ruins often change places with one shot, relying on the ultra-long range of the sniper rifles, which makes the pursuing Japanese soldiers exhausted, and even many times are led into huge traps.

The tank, which was originally expected to act as a cover for the infantry, could not play to its advantages at all in this ruined city. And even many times, fall victim to an anti-tank mine buried under the rubble.

Fortunately, the Japanese troops in charge of the search continued to draw troops from the rear and tightened the encirclement. As the encirclement narrowed, many Japanese soldiers felt that these enemies who were trapped in the encirclement by them finally had no wings and could not fly.

But the facts have dealt them a heavy blow!

When the Japanese army is fully encircled, the snipers who have rushed all the way from other directions will be compressed within the ruins a few hundred meters ahead. After a burst of artillery from tank guns, the infantry finally outflanked the ruins.

However, to the shock of the Japanese infantry, no bodies of the attackers were found in the more ruined houses. As for the snipers who had previously hid in that ruins and shot their countless fighters, it seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!

"Na? People are gone? How can it be? Search, dig three feet into the ground, and find them for me! ”

There is no one in life, and there is no corpse in death!

I thought that the other party was a turtle in an urn just waiting for them to catch it, but the other party really flew with wings. In the face of such a result, how could the Japanese army, who had previously suffered heavy casualties, give up easily!

As many Japanese soldiers really began to look for tunnels in the vicinity where they might hide, they found that there seemed to be no other place to burrow into the ground except for a sewer pipe. For a time, the Japanese troops all gathered around the manhole cover.

"Open the manhole cover, be careful!"

When the manhole cover was removed, a mesh iron cover under the manhole cover reappeared. Seeing this mesh iron cover, many Japanese soldiers felt that such an aperture could be drilled into except for mice, and it was only impossible for people to drill underneath!

"Keep sledding! Skid up this manhole cover too! I don't believe that those people can really disappear into thin air! ”

As a result, to the speechlessness of several Japanese soldiers, the iron mesh manhole cover seemed to be unable to open. No matter how they pulled it up, the manhole cover still didn't move. Looking at it like this, it seems that the mesh manhole cover is welded directly into the sewer.

This situation made the Japanese commander who commanded the excavation also look very angry. After thinking for a while, he said: "Send sappers over and blow up this manhole cover directly!" I still think there's something wrong with this place! ”

After the sappers planted explosives along the manhole cover and blew the manhole cover completely away, a deep sewer pipe was finally presented to the Japanese soldiers. Looking at this still smoking hole, many Japanese soldiers did not dare to go down easily.

The infantry commander who stayed at the entrance of the cave thought for a moment and said, "Throw two grenades down and see if there is any movement below!" ”

As two grenades were thrown, explosions were soon heard inside. It's just that I still haven't heard any movement below. Even with the explosion of the grenade, this sewer quickly piled up some fallen bricks again.

"You guys, go down and see what's going on inside! I don't believe that the attackers who were hiding here earlier really disappeared out of thin air. This sewer pipe must have been the reason for their escape. ”

In the face of the order of the infantry commander, a few named little devils could only bite the bullet and go down into the somewhat damp sewer pipe. took out the flashlight he was carrying and took a picture left and right, and found that this sewer management can indeed walk on the cat's waist.

Looking left and right, a military cao thought for a while and said, "Search this way!" ”

A few little devils who are moving forward on the cat's waist search for the slightly spacious end. The Japanese soldiers, who were on the ground, began to inspect all the manhole covers they could see. To the frustration of the Japanese army, many manhole covers had iron mesh manhole covers underneath.

Faced with this situation, he vowed to find out the little devils of the defenders who might be hiding underground, or ordered the sappers to blow them up one by one. After blowing up the hole, groups of imps burrow into the cave and try to search for the defenders of the city hidden underground.

Just as the little devil expected, the garrison hidden in the underground passage. After seeing the wellhead that had been blown up, Li Pao immediately ordered to seize the vantage point of the underground passage and ambush these little devils who came in.

Compared to the little devil getting into the sewer pipe, it's a little dizzy. The garrison, who had been in this pipe network for a long time, knew that there was a turning point, that there was a need to crawl forward, and that there was a straight line there.

Of course, there are some pipes that climb in and may not get out. As a result, it was obvious that as the Japanese army continued to send infantry to search the hole, they did not see anyone crawling out of it for a long time.

The Japanese commander, who was waiting for news on the ground, also frowned when he saw this situation: "Hasn't the search team come up yet?" ”

"Yes! No news yet! However, our soldiers heard gunshots faintly at the entrance of the cave. It seems that His Excellency the Captain judged quite normally, and there were defenders hiding in the underground pipes. This should be the reason for the defeat of the previous offensive force! ”

Reconnaissance planes were sent to reconnoiter the ruined city several times, but there was no sign of defender activity at all. But when the troops attacked, the defenders suddenly appeared. If you don't find these enemies, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep at all.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for a Japanese soldier who had been circulating in the underground pipeline for a long time to finally find a Japanese soldier who had been blasted through the hole, and he drilled out of the hole in some panic and said: "There is an enemy down there!" The number is unknown, and many of our search teams have been killed by the other side! ”

"Yaga! In this underground, there are decisively hidden enemies! Order the sappers, bomb me piece by piece, and be sure to blow these people out of the ground! ”

As the Japanese army began to use a large number of explosives to carry out blasting, the sewer pipeline network that had been built with great difficulty was also continuously blown down. But this kind of blasting operation is not a big threat to Li Pao and others.

Seeing these destroyed pipeline networks, Li Pao thought for a while and said, "Block the entrance to the main pipeline and prepare to withdraw!" ”

Knowing that if he doesn't withdraw, it is estimated that the little devil will really turn Davao City upside down. But for Li Pao, he believes that after the Japanese army blows up these sewer networks, once it rains in Davao City, the little devil will also be lively.

After all, Davao City was bombed into ruins, and these pipe networks can act as drainage channels even if it rains heavily. Now the little devils are blowing up all the time, and once it rains heavily, it is estimated that the accumulated rainwater may not be discharged.

This also means that the Japanese army wants to be stationed in this ruined city, and then they are afraid that they will have to dig an aqueduct at a great cost. As for the main tunnel, unless the Japanese army lifts the ground of Davao City, it will be equally difficult to find the entrance.

Looking at the exploding sewer pipe network, soldiers found the corpses of the previous search team one after another. But the enemy hidden in the pipe network still seems to be missing. And Davao City, which was originally in ruins, was even more potholed by the Japanese army.

In response to this situation, an officer soon said: "Your Excellency, Captain, do you want to continue to bomb?" If the bombing continues, I'm afraid that this city will really be destroyed. When the time comes, I'm afraid that it will not be suitable for the division to be a camp! ”

"Baga, if you don't find out these ground rats, do you dare to live in this city? I don't believe they can really get into the ground. Be sure to dig out their nests and let the sappers continue to blow up. ”

As a result, the sewer pipes under Davao City were basically completely blown up. Not to mention the consumption of a large amount of explosives, the ground of the entire Davao City was also blown up one hole after another.

Knowing this, the commander of the Japanese division who arrived in the city by car also said angrily when he saw this scene: "Baga! How did you blow up this city like this? In that case, how long will it take us to clean it up? ”

At this time, it suddenly began to rain heavily in the sky. Li Pao and the others, who had just come out of the tunnel, suddenly smiled when they saw the heavier and heavier rain: "God has eyes!" Now the little devil is afraid that he is going to sleep in the wild! ”

Wait until Li Pao and the others get into the jungle and join the garrison hidden on the outskirts of the jungle. Looking at the continuous accumulation of rainwater, which began to accumulate into puddles on the ground in the city, the expression of the commander of the Japanese division was even more unhappy.

"Yaga! Go out into the wilderness and find open space to set up makeshift camp! In this city, I can't live for the time being! ”

The captain of the infantry brigade who was eager to make meritorious contributions, looking at the rain that was constantly piling up on the ground, also had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. But he always felt that he was not wrong, and that there must be a lurking enemy hidden in this underground network.

But the problem is that unless the Japanese army enters the city, it really has the courage to blow up Davao City. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to find out the main pipe hidden in the depths.

When retreating, Li Pao and the others had completely sealed the entrance to the main pipeline. Even if it rains, it is impossible to enter the main pipeline. As for the little devil who wants to search down the pipeline, it is even more unlikely.

After all, the external pipes are all blown up in pieces, and who knows that there is the entrance to the main pipeline?
