Chapter 165 Underground Fortress

After the Japanese 14th Division occupied Qixia County, Commander Kawa Cao ordered the commander of the division, Guzhuang Dalang, to immediately dispatch an engineer squadron and an artillery squadron to Qiujiazhuang to remove the nail. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Engineer Brigade Captain Jiro Suzuki was ordered to lead his troops on the expedition, and this guy rode a tall horse with his toes high. In peacetime, it is rare for the engineer brigade to fight on the battlefield, and this time Suzuki Jiro was ordered to be in danger, so he was naturally full of ambition.

Report, ahead is Qiujiazhuang! A subordinate reported. Hayashi Jiro reined in his horse and raised his binoculars to look ahead. A closed manor house appears in view, revealing a veil of mystery. "Order the troops to stop advancing, immediately build an artillery array, and I will destroy all the houses in Qiujiazhuang. To make this group of gophers unable to survive, I'm going to make them crawl out of the tunnels on their own. Suzuki Jiro gritted his teeth, a small village actually talked about the tiger's color, and the face of the Great Japanese Imperial Army was simply self-ashamed.

When the Japanese army arranged the artillery position, Jiro Suzuki ordered the soldiers to surround Qiujiazhuang in a semicircle, and they were not allowed to attack without authorization, and adopted the tactic of waiting for the rabbit. In addition, he ordered the cavalry squad to search around Qiujiazhuang, and once they found someone fleeing, they would be killed immediately, leaving no one alive. Suzuki Jiro can't be said to be unwise in adopting such tactics, but where did he think that the tunnels of Qiujiazhuang are so terrifying, far beyond the least imagination.

The Japanese troops approached Qiujiazhuang, and Qiu Ying and the owner of Qiu Zhuang soon received the news. The owner of Qiu Zhuang is responsible for directing the villagers to enter the tunnels and resettle women and children. Previously, the tunnel war showed its might, and the confidence of the villagers was unprecedentedly high. In the face of the Japanese army's attack again, the villagers did not panic and entered the tunnel in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Qiu Ying faced his subordinates and said: "The Oriental devils have suffered authentic losses in Qiujiazhuang before, and this time they have come, the Oriental devils will not stop until they achieve their goals, so we must be prepared for a long-term battle." ”

"Madam, this time the Oriental devil is still like the last time he entered the village, and he must be called to have no return!" The captain of the men's team, Zhao Dahu, is full of confidence. "You think the Oriental devils are stupid, they must have come prepared this time, and we must not underestimate the enemy. Zhao Dahu! "Here!" "You lead the men's team to stand by in the tunnel in the west of the village, and I lead the women's team to stand by in the north of the village, and you are not allowed to attack without my order!" "Yes, my subordinates obey." As soon as Qiu Ying's good news fell, an explosion was heard from above, apparently shelled by Oriental devils.

Japanese shells continued to explode in the village, each shell flying rubble and producing large clouds of smoke. Jiro Suzuki personally directed the shelling, and a few hours later, the ruined walls of Qiujiazhuang were broken and rubble was in ruins. "According to the report, after four hours of continuous shelling, there is not a single intact house in Qiujiazhuang, and there is still no trace of people in the village." Send a team in and search! Jiro Suzuki watched a small team enter the village, and there was no movement in the village. While Jiro Suzuki was being proud, suddenly there was a gunshot in the village.

In the tunnels north of the village, Qiu Ying and the women's team were dormant, the fierce shelling was deafening, and the dust kept falling. "Madam, what do you mean by the constant shelling of the Oriental devils?" "The Oriental devil wants to blow up all the houses in order to find the tunnel entrance. If the house collapses, we can build it, and as long as the people are in the East, they don't want to occupy Qiujiazhuang. We have to nail it here like a nail, so that the Oriental devils will not be able to move an inch. "What Madame said is that we don't have anything valuable at home anyway, so let's let the Oriental devils blow it up."

Another member of the women's team said: "Madam, this time the Oriental devils are here, will they leave for a while and a half, if the Oriental devils don't enter the village, what if they fight hard?" "Then we will take the initiative to attack by using the stone hill fortifications on the east side, attract the Oriental devils to the stone hill, and strike hard at the Japanese army." The sound of the cannon stopped, and Qiu Ying ordered two female soldiers to go up there to reconnoitre. After a while, two female soldiers came down, and one of them said, "Madam, our high fortifications have been blown up, and there is not a single intact house left in the village. ”

"Are the ground fortifications still there?" "It's still there!" "The Oriental devil is going to enter the village, let's go up!" Qiu Ying led the women's team up to the ground fortifications, and it happened that a small group of Japanese soldiers came in sneakily and cautiously from the stone-arched village gate in the north of the village. "Madam, there are more than 40 Oriental devils here!" "Good time, let them in and fight." After previous combat experience, Qiu Ying's command was not perfect, but he was very calm.

Facing the Oriental devils, Qiu Ying held a rifle in his hand and observed: "Look, that Japanese officer is mine, no one is allowed to rob me!" ”

Qiu Ying aimed his crosshair at the Japanese squad leader, and held his breath with his index finger on the trigger, but did not shoot. A female guard said, "Madam, shoot quickly!" "What are you talking about, let the Oriental devils get closer, and destroy an enemy with one bullet." At this moment, measured in seconds, the wait feels like a long time. A gunshot rang out, and I saw that the Japanese squad leader was shot in the head and fell to the ground on his back, and the other Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they all lay on the ground, and they couldn't find where the bullet came from.

Suddenly the gunfire was loud, even though the Japanese soldiers were shot even when they were lying on the ground, and with the explosion of several grenades, the Japanese soldiers fled. The gunfire continued one after another, and the Japanese soldiers kept falling to the ground. Qiu Ying came to the wall from the tunnel and saw a heavy machine gun firing indiscriminately through the shooting hole. Qiu Ying pulled out his revolver and fired three shots in succession, and the Japanese machine gunner and two secondary shooters fell in a pool of blood.

Two Japanese soldiers ran over and tried to lift the heavy machine gun away, only to be knocked to the ground as well. After a while, several female soldiers hurriedly lifted the heavy machine gun into the tunnel, "Madam, the heavy machine gun of the Oriental devil, and half a box of bullets." "Lift the heavy machine gun to the central tunnel and give it to my dad!" The Oriental devils have escaped from the village and are about to be shelled, and everyone enters the tunnel. As soon as Qiu Ying's words fell, Japanese artillery shells fell from the sky, and explosions suddenly sounded.

Jiro Suzuki looked at the soldiers who fled back and was horrified, a complete squad, less than a third of them came back, and the squad leader was also killed. Jiro Suzuki was furious and ordered the shelling to continue. 60-mm shells, with limited destructive power, shelled for half an hour, and Jiro Suzuki ordered to stop shelling. After suffering a loss, Jiro Suzuki calmed down and thought about it, and decided to adopt a step-by-step and steady tactic.

Soon after, Japanese soldiers avoided the main road and climbed over the wall on the east side of the village. The Japanese soldiers searched for the entrance to the cave, found one, and ordered the soldiers to crouch next to the hole. Suzuki Jiro is very clever in this move, and in less than an hour, he occupied most of the village, and 3 tunnel entrances were also discovered. In a cave, Jiro Suzuki was looking at the entrance of the black hole and was wondering how to get in, when suddenly a gunshot rang out, and a soldier next to Jiro Suzuki fell to the ground.

Jiro Suzuki reacted quickly and hurriedly lay on the ground. He looked up in the direction of the gunshot, not caring at all about the life and death of the soldier who was the bullet for him. Japanese soldiers shot at the place where the guns rang out. Soon the wall where the gunshots rang out was blown open, and it turned out to be a hollow wall, with a hole exposed underneath. The tunnel in Qiujiazhuang is divided into two layers, and it doesn't matter if the tunnel on the upper floor is exposed, you can hide in the second-layer tunnel. Moreover, the tunnel entrance was exposed, and the situation was unknown, and the Japanese army did not dare to rush into the tunnel.

"Light a fire and smoke them out!" Japanese soldiers came to pick grass and light it. At this time in the tunnel, Zhao Dahu, the captain of the men's team, led his subordinates to wait for him. How to crack down on the Oriental devils who enter the tunnel, they are targeted. "Captain Zhao, the little devil is smoking!" "Madame is really prescient, it seems that the Oriental devils dare not enter the tunnel, let's go down to the second floor to find an opportunity in the center of the village."

Jiro Suzuki used the smoke to smoke to a bad effect, and instead of smoking the people in the tunnel, he smoked himself enough. There was no way, and Jiro Suzuki ordered the hole to be blown up and plugged. The Japanese army tossed and turned until dark, and finally gained a foothold in half of the village. When night came, his subordinates said: "Captain, it's dangerous for the artillery squadron to still be outside. "Putting the artillery positions outside was to act as a decoy, and I ambushed a squadron nearby."

"Can the enemy take the bait?" "I conclude that they must have launched an attack at night, and you must be more cunning in the competition with these clever chinas, to borrow a Chinese saying, it is called reluctant to let the child trap the wolf." After Suzuki Jiro finished speaking, his face showed a hideous expression.

The battle during the day went unusually well, with more than 30 casualties among the Oriental devils, none of them killed, and a heavy machine gun was captured. Fighting so easily naturally made Qiu Ying paralyzed.

In the central tunnel, the men's and women's teams sat together and discussed while eating dinner. Qiu Zhuang said: "The villagers know that the Oriental devils you fought are embarrassed, and they are very excited. The folks asked me to talk and hit the Oriental devils hard. "Dad, go to sleep when you're old!, and listen to the good news tomorrow morning!" Qiu Ying pushed and shoved Qiu Zhuang away. "Ma'am, are you going to attack the artillery positions of the Oriental devils tonight?" Zhao Dahu asked.

"The Oriental devil actually put the artillery position outside the village, can you not eat the fat meat in your mouth? I decided to join forces with the men's and women's teams tonight and knock out the Japanese artillery positions. Now everyone rested, and they went out at midnight to catch him off guard. Everyone was excited and geared up. Soon they fell asleep, and slept very soundly.
