Chapter 573 The weird thick trunk

Song Feng took a multi-battalion team without delaying for a moment, and drove into Lotus Mountain as fast as possible.

What Song Feng didn't expect was that in the entire Lotus Town, except for the underground fortress, all the strongholds and turrets in and around the town had been taken down by the Volunteers.

"Okay, Liu Shusheng, this head of the regiment should be decent, and his movements are not slow." Song Feng exclaimed.

"Hehe, captain, this should be attributed to Deputy Regiment Commander Yao Hong. He took more than 50 members of the team to lurk in the Imperial Army, and left his own people in various strongholds through connections, so Commander Liu took the brothers of the Volunteer Army down from the mountain, and took down almost the entire town without a single shot. It's just that in the end, at the underground fortress, it was blocked. A member of the team who knows the inside story said.

"This dark Chen Cang is doing a good job." Song Feng nodded.

The underground fortress of Lianhua Mountain is part of the Kwantung Army's layer-by-layer defense in the whole territory of Northeast China, and the scale is not the largest, but the degree of solidity is not worse than that of other places. The specific location is near the innermost part of Lotus Town, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and has been carefully constructed by the Kwantung Army to form a solid underground fortress, and one of the main purposes of the fortress is to protect the gold mines here.

If you want to enter the fortress, you must go through several lines of defense, and the Kwantung Army is to use these lines to achieve the tactical means of dividing troops and sniping in layers to resist attacks from outside.

After Liu Shusheng took down the whole town, in order to prevent the Kwantung Army in the fortress from discovering the intention of attacking prematurely, he did not launch an attack with great fanfare, but let the large army quietly lean up from the foot of the mountain, under the cover of the bushes, so when Hu Daniu returned with a large army, they had already surrounded several entrances to the fortress, but after surrounding, these volunteers did not think of a way to attack, even Dong Hao, the resourceful regimental chief of staff under Shusheng, I couldn't think of a better way.

The Japanese are also really good, and all the entrances to the fortress are equipped with large iron gates that I don't know how thick. As soon as these large iron doors were closed, there was no place to use them outside. Liu Shusheng and Dong Hao first organized a mountain bombardment for a while, but the shells hit the big iron gate, but they only knocked off the seven noodles on a layer of iron sheets, and the entire iron gate still did not move.

"Regiment commander, these iron gates are made of fine iron, and the shells won't hit them at all, so let's bombard the cement lid." Dong Hao stood on a mound of dirt on a high place, looked at the big round bun in front of him that looked like a king eight and said.

"Okay, though, this lid shell doesn't work, just blow it up with an explosives package and put a few more." Liu Shusheng stared at this Wang Babao and said.

"The regiment commander is right, the power of the shell is too small, then use the explosive pack." After Dong Hao finished speaking, he turned around and found four or five explosive bags, and then put them at the place where Wang Bagai and the rock were connected.

"Brothers, get out of here, the farther away the better, prepare, begin." Dong Hao gave an order, and the team member in charge of blasting lit a long fuse and ran back.

"Cover your ears, it's going to explode in no time." As soon as Dong Hao finished speaking, he heard an earth-shattering loud noise, and a thick smoke rose into the sky. It was a hundred meters away, but there was still gravel flying over.

"Sounds good, let's go, let's see." After all the stones in mid-air fell, Liu Shusheng was the first to rush out from behind the big tree. A group of people followed behind the two people, but they just came to the round bag to take a look, and almost didn't tilt their noses: it turned out that the big round bag made of cement was unscathed, but where the explosives were placed on the side, a pit the size of a basin was blown up, and the white ballast of cement was exposed inside, which did not have much effect at all, and the rock leaning on the round bag blew out a large pit that could be four or five meters long.

"Damn, no, it's stronger than a rock, Commander, the explosives pack doesn't work." A member of the team knelt on it and touched the white ballast with his hand, looked at Captain Wu and said.

"Tree sounds, what's going on? What are you looking at here? Just when everyone was at a loss, Hu Daniu rushed over from behind with the team and asked.

"Commander, you're here. That's how it goes. According to Yao Hong's report, more than 200 little devils of the Kwantung Army stationed here ran to the fortress to hide, and we wanted to open the four big iron gates and rush in, but the iron gates were too thick, and the bombardment grenades didn't work, so we wanted to blow up a hole from here and kill all those bastards, but this big round bag was stronger than the TMD big iron gate, and five explosives bags only exploded so little. Commander, think of something to do. Liu Shusheng said as soon as he saw Hu Daniu as if he had seen a savior.

"Is there such a thing? Take me to see these big iron gates. Hu Daniu looked left and right at the place of the explosion, and couldn't see any reason, so he said to Head Liu and Dong Hao.

Dong Hao took Hu Da Niu, got down from the small round bag, and then came to the big iron gates in the east, west, north and south to take a look.

"How can this be, the iron door is closed from the inside, it seems that the little devil has been prepared, is this a shell?" Hu Daniu looked at the large piece of Qi that fell from the iron door and asked.

"Commander, it took the three artillery to shoot down such a point. I estimate that this iron door can be at least a foot thick, and if you want to enter from here, you can't even think about it unless you go inside and open it from the inside. Liu Shusheng stood aside and sighed.

"You're right, you can't blow up outside, let's find a way to get inside, as long as one person goes in first, won't this door open?" Hu Daniu thought for a while and said excitedly.

"Commander, we think the same way, don't we just think of blowing up a hole in the big round bag, but you can also see that this method will not work." Dong Hao said in frustration.

"Commander, regiment commander, chief of staff, I'm thinking, although this big guy has four doors, but these four doors are closed, it can't be a dead gourd, in that case, aren't the people inside suffocating? There must be a ventilated place. Liu Mingjie, who has been following Hu Daniu, said.

"Mingjie, what did you say? There must be a ventilated place...... That's right, you're right, there should be a vent, and there is more than one. Dong Hao reacted instantly after being reminded by the staff officer, and he said excitedly.

"Mingjie is right, in this way, you look from above, from the mountain, in this way, Dong Hao, you and Captain Shusheng will lead a team of people to look for the mountain from the south, and I will lead Mingjie and Captain Mingjie to look for it from the north, and we will gather in the middle. Enough manpower must be left outside the big iron gate to prevent the little devils inside from suddenly rushing out. After Hu Daniu finished his order, he took Liu Mingjie's regiment and went straight to the big iron gate in the northernmost part.

Although the fortress of Lotus Mountain is not the largest, the distance from the big iron gate in the south of the fortress to the big iron gate in the north can be at least three or four miles away. According to the width of the big iron gate, Hu Daniu judged that there was no problem with a little devil's truck driving into the inside of this fortress, so there must be heavy weapons inside, and a strong attack would not work, because as long as the little devil mounted a large-caliber cannon at the entrance of the fortress, even if there were many people outside, he would not be able to attack it.

"Commander Mingjie, do you think there will be heavy firepower in this fortress?"

"Commander, judging from the width of this big iron gate, it is still possible to put a few cannons and howitzers of more than 100 calibers inside, so even if this iron gate is opened, it cannot be attacked, but can only be outwitted." Liu Mingjie thought and said.

Hearing Liu Mingjie say this, Hu Daniu nodded.

Two people with a group, starting from the top of the northernmost large iron gate, formed a fan shape in the unit of squads, and searched forward. Looking at the mountain running dead horses, this is not false at all, looking at the mountain is not very big, in fact, walking, as soon as a thousand or so people entered, this was swallowed by the forest in an instant.

I've been searching for an hour, and I don't know how far I went out, there are more than a thousand people, dozens of groups, and I haven't found anything.

"Commander, something is wrong, we must have missed something, it is said that after walking for such a long time and such a long distance, there should be a vent, is it that we are in the wrong direction?" Hu Daniu took a group of people to a high post, leaned on a large tree pole that was thick enough to be a hug, and was holding a telescope to look around, Liu Mingjie walked over from behind, looked at Hu Daniu and said.

"The direction is right, besides, now that our people are spreading, there are thousands of meters horizontally, how can you miss it? D has long heard that little devils are cunning, and this time I have really seen a lot. After Hu Daniu finished speaking, he kicked the thick tree pole he was leaning on fiercely to vent the depression in his heart.

Hu Da Niu went down, and the thick trunk made a "bang" sound. Hu Daniu and Liu Mingjie were stunned almost at the same time.

In the deep mountains and old forests, although there are not many tree trunks like this, they can often be seen, and one person with a thin trunk can't hug it, let alone a thick one, two or three people hold hands, and sometimes they can't buckle their heads.

It is impossible for a tree to grow so thick and strong that it is impossible to live for one or two hundred years, and some even longer, reaching nearly a thousand years. It is precisely because of the long period of time that most of these thick trunks will appear hollow, and some have been struck by lightning, and the crown has disappeared, becoming a large dry stump. Of course, there are also those who are empty but still magically alive.

Hu Daniu and Liu Mingjie were stunned here, it was not that they had never seen such a thick trunk, but at this moment, the sound of "bang" made the two of them think of the same problem at the same time.

Hu Daniu withdrew his foot, walked around the big tree trunk, and then looked at Liu Mingjie and nodded at him.

Liu Mingjie looked at the top of the tree trunk in understanding. The canopy of this trunk has been broken by lightning, and it can be three or four meters tall from the root to the point where it was broken.
