Feng Ying held the candlestick, said goodbye to the chatty guards, and went into the hole marked Tunnel 107 on the right......

After only walking a few steps, Feng Ying immediately understood why everyone called the guard camp station that was just one more fire and boiling water heaven, compared to the previous spaciousness, this cramped and cramped, only one person could pass through the tunnel, so that he could not walk straight up, the weak lighting also allowed him to avoid his head hitting the wood above his head, the water-soaked coat was extremely heavy on his body, because the coat was wrapped in an impermeable oilcloth, and the air in the tunnel was thin, he was sweating all over his body after walking a few steps, and it was even more torturous in the dark and damp tunnel.

Feng Ying could clearly hear his own snorting and panting, as well as the sound of dripping water, and even the sound of his own rapid heartbeat, the only thing that comforted him was that there was still the sound of finches fluttering in the cage hanging on his buttocks, at least he was not the only living creature in this dark hole.

By talking to those guys in the guardhouse, Feng Ying has already made his task clear, rats, people here call themselves rats, a group of miners who live like rats in the dark and damp underground, although he has no relationship with the miners, he was still sent down as rats, they can be regarded as soldiers in a sense, they fight in the dark and damp underground, narrow and low, the air is turbid, rats are rampant in the hole, there is no big scene here, there is no battle, they don't wield knives, they don't let go of guns, Just keep waving the shovel, silently digging and burrowing, there is no day and night underground, the only job every day is to keep digging, the intensity of the work makes these people sleep directly after the shift to continue to work the next day. I heard that the requirements are very tight, and the longest group of people have not seen the light of day for two months, in fact. Feng Yingcai has only been working hard for half a day and has already begun to miss life on the ground, even if he stands guard at the head of the city where the cold wind is howling, it is better than here!

Seeing that most of the candle in his hand was burning, Feng Ying was a little flustered, and subconsciously accelerated the speed of the cat's waist walking, which made his head slam several times, and there was no overhead lighting in the pit at all. The only light came from the candles, and the guards alarmistly told him that death would soon come if the candles were extinguished. They also cite many examples to highlight this point, and they say that it is more dangerous to kill the enemy underground than in the city, and the Grim Reaper wanders in the dark. You can die at any time.

Feng Ying was about to hit the wall before she felt that something was wrong. He half-knelt on the ground, carefully stretched out the candlestick made of bamboo tube to his eyes, after the candle on the ground was burned, the candle tears could not be wasted, and he had to change a cotton wick to reuse, Feng Ying came to a fork, the two forks extended out one left and one right, so dark that he couldn't see the bottom, Feng Ying took a breath. He took out a map from his bosom and first found the place marked with Tunnel 107. Then he found the location of the fork in the road, the position of the 107 special task force he was going to should go to the right, and finding the right way made Feng Ying breathe a sigh of relief, although this schematic diagram is the standard configuration of every person who goes down the tunnel, but there are still many people who have accidents, they will inexplicably go to the approach road, or go to the drainage canal and ventilation port, and then die there because they can't find the right way, in just half a day, Feng Ying has heard of no less than ten such accidents.

Feng Ying didn't get up in a hurry, but carefully untied the birdcage hanging on the buttocks, put the candlestick on the ground and gently lifted the black cloth on the birdcage, the bird is not just anyone can take it, that is the prerogative of commanders at all levels, although these birds are pampered by the people underground as little friends, but in this environment they often don't live long, the same is true of this one in the cage, the struggle just now is obviously much smaller, but when the black cloth is lifted, the little bird still flutters a few times.

Feng Ying whispered hello to the bird, and quickly covered the black cloth, the biggest danger of the tunnel is not only cramped and cramped, nor is it psychological loneliness and fear, the most terrifying thing is that Houjin's peers are also digging tunnels, this kind of thing really happened in the early days of the siege, once the enemy dug in, there will be a fierce fire immediately, under the blow of the fire gun at the head of the city, the excavation of the Tartar coat is almost completely stopped, but it is not absolute, for example, there was a time when these coats were dug everywhere under the three city walls every night with the help of equipment cover, hoping to find the relatively weak place in Mill City, which made the tunnel work pause for some time.

In addition to the peers digging tunnels, the sound is also the biggest threat, just now a guard exaggerated that those digging can even hear the sound of washing the toilet overhead, Feng Ying is very suspicious of this, but the action is too big for the enemy above the head to notice, the end is obvious, from this point of view, the exaggeration of the guard is reasonable.

At this moment, there was a loud sound of running water in front of him, Feng Ying stopped carefully, picked up the candlestick and looked up, above his head was a large thick wooden plank, supported by stones, and there was constantly water flowing down from these gaps, turning the road in front of him into a water curtain hole, although several approach roads were opened, but the water underground was very deep, Feng Ying reacted, this is probably under the moat.

Feng Ying put the candlestick on his chest, pulled the tarpaulin, hunched over to protect the candle, and stepped on the bricks that had been laid, he had seen it when he was on duty at the head of the city, the entire moat was filled with Houjin's earth bags and corpses, this tunnel would have collapsed if it wasn't supported by stones, but thinking that he was walking underground outside the city, Feng Ying felt very weird.

Feng Ying controlled his breathing and tried not to look at the situation under his feet, because those soldiers told him that the diggers could dig up the remains of many corpses almost every day, some of which had already been mixed with the soil, especially the underground within a mile outside the city, after the stirring of artillery fire, these limb fragments could be seen everywhere, it was said that a lucky guy dug up six rotten heads in a row in an hour, and other thigh bones and the like were commonplace, as a veteran Feng Ying who participated in the recovery of Jinzhou, the living enemy was not afraid, Dead enemies were less afraid, but the smell of decay in the tunnel still made him quite painful.

Feng Ying didn't know how long he had been walking, the sound of dripping water had disappeared for a long time, and the ground had begun to dry out gradually, and there was only the sound of his dull breathing and rustling walking in the dark hole. One of the candles had been burned, and he had stopped a few times to check the map, all of which showed that he was on the right path. But the whole pit was quiet.

At this moment, Feng Ying suddenly heard a vague voice in front of him, which was not trivial, Feng Ying immediately stopped advancing, hunched over and carefully put the candlestick on the ground, gently lifted the oilcloth with his right hand, and touched a short hammer pinned to his waist. This short gun was given to him by Lian Li to celebrate his promotion, and Feng Ying had never tried it.

Feng Ying listened cautiously against the wall of the tunnel for a few minutes, and the sound of the fluctuating strength and weakness came from his right. Feng Ying quietly touched it, it turned out that it was a bend, and if he was not careful, he stumbled under his feet.

"Who is it?" A voice rang out. But it was deliberately depressed.

Feng Ying leaned into the corner. Showing his two eyes to observe the situation, a small house was opened on the wall of the tunnel, and a candlestick was placed on it, which illuminated the tunnel very brightly, and the two men were curiously looking towards the place where he was hiding.

Feng Ying saw the other party's outfit clearly by the candlelight, breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the candlestick and walked out.

"Is this where the Einsatzgruppen are stationed? What are you doing here? Feng Ying also learned from them, and asked in a low voice. I walked over.

The two people seemed to be a little surprised, but they saw Feng Ying's coat under the oilcloth. One of the older grades nodded and said softly: "The squad is stationed in front, and this is the pit outpost, are you?" ”

Feng Ying, who had been suffering for most of the day, finally put his mind at ease, but this sentry post was very narrow, there was a large wooden board inside, a futon was placed on it, and some utensils were scattered near the wall, and there were two waist knives on the side, a flintlock pistol, a small shovel, and an iron drill. Feng Ying couldn't squeeze in, so he had to squat in front of the two and said, "I'm your new chief, my surname is Feng, and I'm looking for Gao Yue."

The two glanced at each other, and the young man said, "Pu Chunhai may know where Master Gao is, he is in front, you go and ask"

Feng Ying looked at a few forks and shook his head: "Where are you going?" I'm lost. ”

The old man leaned out and pointed his finger: "Keep going ahead, there is a fork in the road about fifty steps, there is a vent on the left, remember to turn right hand, the crossing is very narrow, you have to climb over." ”

Feng Ying nodded, and after making sure that he remembered it, he inserted the short gun back into his waist and said, "Very good, then I'll go first." ”

The two lay back on the plank, wrapped themselves in the futon and continued to talk softly, but they didn't expect Feng Ying to appear in front of them again soon: "Where are you going?" I'm lost. ”

The young man lifted the futon and said, "I'll take you there." ”

Feng Ying nodded: "What's your name and when will you change shifts?" ”

The young man arrived: "Report to the chief, Zhou Qiyuan, a soldier of the action team, if someone comes to take over, he will change the shift." ”

Feng Ying followed Zhou Qiyuan and walked for a long time, and finally found the station of the action team, which was dug on the wall of the tunnel, pushed away the wooden plank, and several people were sitting inside, and they were stunned when they saw Feng Ying and Zhou Qiyuan bending in.

The station is wider than the tunnel, and it is much higher, at least you don't have to bend down and bow your head when you stand in the room, there is a table inside, a map is laid on it, three candlesticks are placed in various parts of the room, so that it is very bright, there are several cups on the table, some cabinets are dug on the wall, wooden boards are laid, and some miscellaneous items are placed on it, and there are various digging items and weapons erected in the corner of the wall, Feng Ying walked in, did not speak, but looked at his soldiers first, there were five sitting around the table, And a wooden board with a piece of wood in his hand to reinforce the support point was looking at him,

"Who's the brother?" A stern-looking man asked

"Oh, I'm the new squad leader, Feng Ying, are you Gao Yue?" Feng Ying asked

"Master Gao has been transferred, and he left yesterday" The man looked at Feng Ying, who was sweating profusely: "I suffered from rheumatism, and my brother carried him out, and he could barely walk." ”

"Rheumatism?"

"Don't worry, sir, if we're lucky, we'll all end up suffering from rheumatism and being carried out," the man said lightly, but a few people next to him smiled.

"Bad luck?" Feng Ying smiled slightly, and put the candlestick on the side of the wall, while untying the tarpaulin.

"If we're unlucky, we'll be spotted by the Tartars, and the tunnel will collapse and we'll all die here, or we'll be like the chief, and we'll untie the tarpaulin when we're sweating, and the moisture will take advantage of the weakness and be carried out in advance," said a man sitting next to him jokingly.

"Huh?" Feng Ying subconsciously stopped the movements of his hands, and several people laughed.

The other person brought a cup and said to Feng Ying: "Sir, this is ginger soup, drink a few sips to drive away the cold." ”

Feng Ying nodded, but didn't take the cup, and said: "We will all be brothers who scoop rice in a pot in the future, I am from the Shanbu Battalion, and I turned out to be the officer of the second company and the second team, you can all introduce me?" ”

"Luo Bin!"

"Chen Shou, sir!"

"Yoo Hak-so"

……

The soldiers of the action team stood up one by one to sign up, and Feng Ying silently noted down the characteristics of each person, and said, "Sit down, don't be too restrained." ”

"Liu Xuemo, you go to the sentry, the place we passed by just now is called?" Feng Ying turned his head and asked Zhou Qiyuan, who was still standing at the door.

Zhou Qiyuan was a little overwhelmed and said, "The sentry post on the left side of channel 102." ”

Feng Ying stared at Liu Xuemo, who was provoking his prestige, and said, "Well, the sentry post on the left side of channel 102, you go to the sentry post." ”

Liu Xuemo stood up and quickly exchanged glances with a few colleagues: "Yes, sir!" ”

After speaking, Liu Xuemo walked to the closet, took out the oilcloth, put the flintlock pistol on his back, took an iron chisel in his hand, and knocked Zhou Qiyuan to the side before walking out with the candlestick.

Feng Ying glanced at everyone coldly, turned to Zhou Qiyuan and said, "Take me to the command post." ”

It seems that Zhou Qiyuan has no prestige in the action team, so the newcomer Lord Feng made him a little grateful for coming forward for him, and on the way to the command post, Zhou Qiyuan answered the commander's questions endlessly. According to Zhou Qiyuan's words, the main person in charge is Mr. Niu of the Intelligence Department, and the Cantonment Department and the General Staff Department have also sent people to act as deputies, and all operations must be under the command of Mr. Niu.

"So many mothers-in-law?" Feng Ying's scalp was a little numb when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he asked, "What missions have you all carried out under the command of Master Gao?" It's not going to be digging a tunnel, is it? ”

Zhou Qiyuan panted and led the way, while saying: "Digging the tunnel is not ours, the people digging the tunnel are all over there in 105, the task of our action team is not clear, many times it is from the vent at night to explore, the requirements of the Tun Division are the most, sometimes in order to make sure that the direction of the tunnel we dig is correct, and the garrison area of the Houjin banners must also be drawn, the most thrilling one is to let us scratch our tongues, but fortunately, the task was canceled before departure"

"Tongue grabbing? Scratching your tongue under the nose of a tartar? What the is this? Feng Ying couldn't believe it, and hurriedly asked. (To be continued......)
