Ye Feng and Wang Xueying, leaning on the position near the window, ate slowly for more than an hour, and after eating, the two had a lot of fun, went out of the city, watched the beautiful snow scene in the suburbs, and even had a snowball fight.

The end of the year was approaching soon, and the Lunar New Year was just a few days away, during which the Japanese 6th Division had been at peace and did not attack the Independence Brigade again.

After all the high-ranking officers of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army were killed, the entire high-ranking regiment had to be reappointed, and after these little devils and high-ranking officials took up their positions, there must also be a process of adaptation and control, and it was even more impossible to rashly attack the independent brigade.

According to the intelligence, after Tani Shofu and others were killed, the Japanese army quickly appointed a new division commander, and the former commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division, Mitsuru Ushijima, was promoted to the new division commander.

Today, Ye Fengshou received a telegram, which was a secret telegram sent back by Sun Yang from Nanjing City, and at present, Sun Yang has successfully connected with Asakanomiya Hatohiko, who said that Asakanomiya Hatohiko had left for Japan

Motoharu Kuroki is a well-known tunnel and blasting expert in Japan, specializing in tunnel excavation and engineering blasting.

The 6th Division had suffered heavy losses during the attack on the Independent Brigade 20 days earlier, and the Japanese Central China Front had analyzed and summarized, and Matsui Ishine recalled Motoharu Kuroki back to China to prepare for a secret blast of the independent brigade's defense line to the east of the city.

In order to succeed in the blasting in one fell swoop, the Japanese army did a very good job of keeping it secret, and only a limited number of people on the Japanese side knew about this plan, and there were not many people on the Sixth Division side who knew about it, and it was a special unit of the Sixth Division that was responsible for the tunnel excavation.

The little devils who participated in the excavation were only a few hundred people at first, and they didn't know that they were digging this tunnel to blast the defense line of the independent brigade.

It has been half a month since Motoharu Kuroki directed the excavation of the tunnel, and the project is still progressing very smoothly, and now, the tunnel is only about 500 meters away from the defense line of the independent brigade.

Motoharu Kuroki held a telescope and looked at the defense line of the eastern part of the city of the independent brigade from a distance of several kilometers, and saw that the huge project of the eastern defense line of the city reached two or three kilometers in width and was estimated to be more than one kilometer in depth.

On the hill in the distance, there are large bunkers dotted around, scattered, seeing such a big project, Kuroki Motoji is slightly excited.

"Yo Xi!"

Thinking that in a few days, his main tunnel would be dug under the ground of the front defense line, Motoji Kuroki shouted happily.

The newly appointed commander of the Sixth Division, Mitsuru Ushijima, also knew the progress of the tunnel and placed high hopes on this tunnel, and Mitsuru Ushijima had just taken office, and if he could successfully destroy the defense line in the east of the city of the independent brigade, it would definitely be a great joy to get off to a good start.

"Kuroki-kun, I'll leave this matter to you." Mitsuru Ushijima accompanied Motoharu Kuroki to observe together.

"Your Excellency the division commander, don't worry, I will definitely succeed this time, and the matter of the blasting will be handed over to me, and what you have to do is to keep it secret."

"Yo Xi, as long as the blasting is completed, our tens of thousands of imperial warriors will rush over, rush into Shannan County, and annihilate this damn independent brigade."

The faces of the two were joyful, holding binoculars, side by side at the defense line of the eastern part of the city of the independent brigade in front.

According to Kuroki Motoji's plan, a few hundred meters further forward, the tunnel will begin to fork, divided into several branch tunnels, each branch of the tunnel, will dig into the ground of each mountain, under each mountain will be buried a large amount of explosives, the entire mountain will be violently blasted.

……

Time passed before you knew it.

This is the first New Year of the Independent Brigade, and the Independent Brigade is very well prepared, and every barracks has prepared sumptuous dishes, slaughtering pigs and sheep, and the New Year is lively.

In addition, the financial resources of the independent brigade are unusually abundant, and each soldier also gave out 10 New Year's red envelopes from the ocean, and the soldiers who received the ocean were full of joy and joy.

On the first day or two of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, Ye Feng also specially visited various units to offer condolences, and the soldiers of the independent brigade saw that the brigade seat personally came to offer condolences, and their hearts were warm.

The Independent Brigade is in a lively and joyful New Year, while the Japanese Sixth Division is secretly digging tunnels, because Ushijima Mitsuru new official took office, attaches great importance to the excavation of tunnels, and the little devils who dig tunnels work day and night, 24 hours without stopping, digging in shifts, and changing a group of people every few hours of digging.

Now the tunnels of the little devils have been completely dug under the defense line of the independent brigade, and even several branch tunnels have begun to be excavated.

The tunnel project is progressing rapidly, and today, Motoharu Kuroki, accompanied by several little devil officers, personally came to the tunnel and inspected it in person.

Looking at the sweaty little devil, working hard with tools, Motoji Kuroki looked satisfied, and the whole project fully met Motoji Kuroki's requirements.

For safety and to prevent detection by the Independent Brigade, the Little Devil's tunnel is about twenty or thirty meters deep underground, the tunnel is not wide, and most of the place is reinforced with mineral wood and supported.

"Your Excellency Kuroki, you are still satisfied with the quality of our work."

Next to him, an accompanying little devil Shaozuo, seeing that Motoji Kuroki had a good face, he couldn't help but ask proudly, most of this little devil Shaozuo's subordinates are digging in the tunnel, and they are the main force in this tunnel excavation.

"Yes, it's really good, I'm completely satisfied with the quality, in addition, your progress is also very fast, I think, at this rate, it won't take another half a month to basically finish, and after half a month, we can load the explosives."

The devil Shaoza couldn't help but smile proudly when he saw that Motoji Kuroki praised himself for his quality and progress.

Probably in order to give greater encouragement to the little devil who was digging the tunnel, Motoji Kuroki patted the little devil Shaozo on the shoulder again and said, "Koike-kun, you guys do a good job, I will say a few kind words for you in front of Your Excellency Ushijima." ”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Kuroki." The little devil Shaozuo looked grateful, and bent down to salute.

The little devil Shaozo accompanied Kuroki Motoji to watch for a long time, and during this period, a little devil second lieutenant also came to report that in several places in the tunnel, there was a little water seepage, and large drops of water dripped from the top of the tunnel from time to time.

Motoharu Kuroki specially went to these places where water seeped, looked at them for a long time, and after a careful inspection, Motoji Kuroki concluded that there was no problem.

Southern China already has a lot of rain and the soil is relatively moist, but there was another heavy snowfall in front of it, and most of the melted snow seeped into the ground.

"Don't worry, it's normal for a little droplet of water to appear, let's hurry up and dig the tunnel, and then we will blow up the entire defense line of the independent brigade."

The second more.
