Xuzhou, the Fifth Theater Governor's Department.

In addition to the commanders of more than a dozen divisions of the 13th and 18th divisions of the Huainan defense line blocking the army, the remaining 50 division commanders all spontaneously gathered in the war room.

Of course, there are many people waiting to see the jokes, Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Brigade have great achievements and reputations, some people admire, and naturally some people will inevitably be jealous.

Admiral Li was actually a little apprehensive in his heart.

It is not that he is afraid that the Baoshan Brigade will not be able to explain to Chairman Jiang if it runs out, Admiral Li is worried that if the Baoshan Brigade loses the battle, it will seriously dampen the anti-fighting spirit of the whole people, after all, the Baoshan Brigade is now a hero in the hearts of the whole people, and if even they suffer defeat, it is difficult to imagine what serious consequences will be caused.

There was a rare silence in the war room, and everyone was waiting for news from the Baoshan Brigade.

"Report!" In the suffocating silence, the communications staff officer hurriedly stepped inside and reported loudly, "The headquarters and forward observation posts report that the Baoshan Brigade did not immediately attack. ”

"What, no offense?" Admiral Li said, "Then what are they doing?" ”

The communications staff officer said with a strange expression: "According to the report of the forward observation post, the Baoshan Brigade is digging a tunnel. ”

"Tunnels?" Admiral Li's brows suddenly furrowed, "This kid, are you really planning to dig a tunnel?" ”

This cannot be blamed for Admiral Li's short-sightedness, in fact, in the [***] sequence at that time, there was no high-ranking general who had seriously studied the primitive subject of earth work, let alone knew the many wonderful uses of this primitive tactic, which was also the weakness of the surname, and the vast majority of people always instinctively resisted unfamiliar things.

The senior generals in the war room also looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.

Zhang Qi, commander of the 6th Division of the Central Army, said without yin or yang: "When the Baoshan Brigade was still the Baoshan battalion, in Baoshan County and the Sixing Warehouse, it was by relying on the ability of the marmot to break through, and in Jiangpu, it was also by relying on the ability of the marmot to completely annihilate the Guozaki detachment. ”

After saying this, Master Zhang Qi said with great disdain: "This Yue Weihan, do you really think that his groundhog tactics can dominate the world?" ”

The division commanders, who were not very interested in Yue Weihan, immediately whispered.

"This kid is simply unbelievably thick, more than a dozen elite divisions of our Central Army have been fighting around it for more than half a month and have not been able to take Hanzhuang, so they want to take it down with this set of groundhog tricks? It's just wishful thinking. ”

"Who said no, this kid won a few battles by luck, and his tail really went to the sky."

"Who said it wasn't, what the Battle of the Four Elements Warehouse, the Battle of Jiangpu? With that kind of terrain and such conditions, who would not be better than him? What's there? ”

"Enough!" Seeing that the more than a dozen division commanders of the Central Army spoke, General Li couldn't help frowning and shouting, "Now that the offensive of the Baoshan Brigade has just begun, no one knows what the effect of digging tunnels is, you are in such a hurry to draw conclusions, it's too early, right?" Okay, there's nothing to do today, let's disperse, disperse! ”

Seeing that General Li had given the order to expel the guests, dozens of commanders, army commanders, and division commanders who had gathered together dispersed one after another.

Soon, only General Li, Deputy Chief Bai and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Pinxian, Chief of Staff of the Theater Xu Zuyi and other army generals Liao Liao were left in the war room.

Admiral Li said to Deputy Chief Bai: "Jiansheng, what do you think? ”

"It's okay to try." Deputy Chief Bai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although it is basically impossible to win Hanzhuang by digging tunnels, maybe this kid Yue Weihan can really play some new tricks, maybe he can really win Hanzhuang?" And now that the war has been fought, we have no better way, so let the Baoshan Brigade try it. ”

Admiral Li was silent, and Admiral Li Pinxian and Admiral Xu Zuyi next to him also had nothing to say.

Until now, the army generals of these party-states have stubbornly believed that the tunnel operation is not a clever tactic, and it is impossible for them to win Hanzhuang by relying on the tunnel operation, but as Deputy General Bai said, the tactics they should have used have been used so far in the war, and they can only be used as a dead horse doctor.

………… Hanzhuang, the front command of the Isoya Division.

A long and difficult day had finally passed, and night had once again covered the land.

Diametrically opposed to the senior generals of the party-state, Major General Seya Kei, the front-line commander of the Isoya Division, was well aware of the mortal threat posed by the earthwork to the remnants of the Isoya Division trapped in Hanzhuang, and in order to eliminate this threat, Major General Seya Kai decided to take the risk of launching a night attack.

This night attack is at best a Jedi counterattack, or at worst a dying struggle.

The commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade under the 40th Wing, Shigezo Hirano Shaosa, strode into the headquarters, suddenly retracted his feet, and said to Major General Kei Seya: "Your Excellency, the 3rd Brigade of the 40th Infantry Wing has been assembled. ”

"Yo Si." Major General Kei Seya happily bowed his head and said, "Hirano-kun, the battle plan is already clear?" ”

"Hello." Hirano Shigezo Shaozo suddenly bowed his head and said, "This night attack, we should give priority to annihilating the Chinese sappers, and destroy the tunnels that have been dug as much as possible, and finally force the Chinese people to stop their earthwork!" ”

"Yo Si." Major General Kei Seya said, "Hirano-kun, I'm waiting for the triumphant return of the 3rd Brigade at the headquarters!" ”

"Hai, the 3rd Brigade will never let His Excellency General down." In less than a moment, the remnants of more than 600 old devils of the Hirano Brigade quietly left the headquarters of the Seya Detachment, and took advantage of the cover of night to quietly touch the [***] tunnel position in the east.

………… On the east side of Hanzhuang, the position of the 2nd Regiment of Baoshan.

Chi Chengfeng, commander of the 2nd Regiment of Baoshan, and Li Yulong, commander of the Bayonet Battalion, were inspecting the tunnel position, and after half a day of intense excavation, dozens of tunnels excavated at the same time had been extended forward for at least 200 meters.

When the officers and soldiers who were resting in the tunnel saw Chi Chengfeng and Li Yulong, they quickly got up and saluted.

"Don't get up, don't get up." Chi Chengfeng hurriedly shook his hand again and again, "His grandmother's, let's not do this." ”

When passing by a lookout post, Chi Chengfeng stepped on the dirt steps to the ground again, and the sentry who was on guard at the ground guard post hurriedly half got up and saluted Chi Chengfeng, and said, "Tuanza!" ”

"How's it going, what's going on?" Chi Chengfeng Road.

"Nope." The sentry shook his head and said, "There's not much movement on the other side. ”

"Well, continue to be vigilant, and be vigilant, the brigade seat said, the little devil will never watch us dig the tunnel under their noses, the little devil will definitely be dying, so they must not be given any opportunity to take advantage of." Ji Chengfeng patted the sentry on the shoulder and went down into the pit again.

When Chi Chengfeng got down the tunnel, the sentry immediately turned around and lay down on the sentry post again.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some light from the corner of the sentry's eyes, and when the sentry turned his head sharply, he saw that under the cold moonlight, a large area of cold steel helmets was rapidly approaching this side, and the sentry suddenly raised the rifle in his hand, and pulled the trigger without hesitation, and in an instant, the crisp sound of gunfire shattered the silence of the night.

......In an instant, a shuttle of machine gun bullets swept to the sentry post.

However, just before the machine gun bullets hit, the sentry who had already fired a warning shot slid down the tunnel first, and disappeared into the cobweb-like pit in a flash.

………… As soon as the gunshots rang out, it meant that the whereabouts of the Yue army had been exposed.

The commander of the army in charge of the night attack, Shigezo Harano, scolded Baga, and immediately ordered all infantry squadrons to deploy on the spot, and the heavy machine guns and canister shells immediately built a temporary position, and finally fired a red signal flare into the sky, and in an instant, two flares rose from the position of the Hanzhuang army.

With the strong light of the flares, the field Shigezo Shaozo found that there was a dead silence on the [***] position, and the open pit mouth was like a black monster giant mouth, ready to choose people to devour, and there was no figure of the [***] person in it, nor did the dirt rise, but just a moment ago, it was still constantly raising dust outside.

"Yagayalu." Shigezo Harano turned back to the squad leader behind him and said, "You go down!" ”

"Hello!" The captain of the army suddenly bowed his head, and immediately jumped down the mouth of the tunnel with more than 20 old devils, and soon disappeared into the depths of the black tunnel.

After another half a cup of tea, the army team that had just entered the pit came back.

It's just that there are more than 20 old devils who went in, but only three of them came back alive, and one of them was seriously injured, a big gap was opened in the abdomen, and the intestines were all leaked out of the body. ”

"Yaga!" Shigezo Shozo gritted his teeth and ordered, "Order the sappers to blow up the tunnel!" ”

"Hello!" The engineer team hurriedly went down to the tunnel with explosives, and with two loud bangs, a large section of civil and engineering bunkers covered by the pit suddenly flew into the sky, but there was no joy on the face of the field Shigazo Shaozo, because he found that the pit was covered with only the simplest planks and earthwork, and even if such bunkers were all blown up, the Chinese could quickly repair them!

"Baga Yalu, the people of China are cunning and cunning!" Yuan Ye Shigezo Shaozo gritted his teeth and said, "Order, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd squadrons will enter the tunnel in batches to carry out the correction operation, and the stubborn people in the tunnel must be cleared before dawn, and the 4th squadron will stay on guard!" ”

"Hello!" The three squadron leaders behind him suddenly bowed their heads and immediately took the order.
