Soon, nine infantry squads of the Japanese army went down to the tunnel.

The task of these nine infantry squads is to eliminate the [***] people hiding in the tunnels, while the infantry squadron and the machine gun fire and grenadiers left on the ground are responsible for protecting the rear of the nine infantry squads from being encircled by the [***] team and eaten.

After going down to the tunnel, the army discovered that the Chinese had dug the tunnel very carefully.

The main tunnel is two meters wide, and there are defense facilities such as cantonment pits and anti-artillery holes every 20 meters.

As the tunnel continued to extend forward, there were more and more forks on both sides of the main tunnel, and in less than a moment, the nine infantry squads had been completely separated, and all of them had become independent, but fortunately, the tunnel was very shallow, and there was only one layer of cover from the ground.

As for their own combat effectiveness, several squads of the Yue Army are still quite confident.

Countless previous battles have also proved that the quality of the individual soldiers of the army is indeed far above the middle [***] team, therefore, although the number of the soldiers who entered the tunnel is small, they all appear to be full of confidence, in the narrow tunnel, the numerical advantage of the [***] team can not be brought into play at all, but the individual advantage of the army can be brought into full play.

………… Less than 100 meters forward, the Tachihara team was completely lost.

The tunnel dug by the Chinese is simply an incomparably complex spider web, in less than 100 meters, the Liyuan team has turned at least eighteen turns, and walked through at least nine forks, the only thing that makes people feel a little more sure is that there are gaps at intervals to communicate with the ground to ensure air circulation and light penetration in the tunnel.

There was a dead silence in the tunnel, and only the wheezing of the ghost soldiers could be heard clearly.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the fork in the road ahead, and the devil soldiers who were looking forward suddenly turned around in unison, chasing forward with bayonets, and more than 20 devil soldiers in front of them turned the corner, and when it was the turn of the last devil soldier, a thick log on the top of the tunnel suddenly collapsed heavily.

The huge sound suddenly alarmed the ghost soldiers in front, and when they hurriedly turned back to look, they saw that the neck bones of the ghost soldiers had been crushed by the logs weighing more than two hundred catties, and they were obviously not alive.

After searching and traveling about fifty meters, a sudden fire lit up in front of him.

Under the faint light of the fire, more than a dozen [***] people with their upper bodies exposed, all holding large knives in their hands, were putting on a provocative posture towards the entire Tatehara squad, Ensign Tatehara was furious, and suddenly pulled out his saber and led it forward, and more than 20 devil soldiers suddenly clicked out of the bullets in the chamber, and then pounced with bayonets.

The dozen or so [***] people looked indifferent and stood still in place.

Seeing that they were about to meet each other, the dozen or so devil soldiers who rushed to the front suddenly felt that their feet were suddenly empty, and when they looked down urgently, they saw that the ground under their feet suddenly collapsed, and suddenly, rows of sharpened wooden stakes had come out of the smoke and dust, like rows of sharp bayonets, waiting for the devil soldiers to crash up by themselves.

Suddenly, a tragic wail sounded in the tunnel, and almost none of the dozen or so devil soldiers who fell into the trap could survive, one by one was either stabbed in the thigh by a sharp stake, or pierced through the palm, and two unlucky ones were directly stabbed in the heart and killed on the spot!

"Yaga! The people of China, despicable work! Second Lieutenant Tachihara narrowly reined in his footsteps and scolded.

The dozen or so [***] people on the opposite side sneered, and then gave way to both sides, and suddenly revealed the holes of the four black holes in the tunnel wall behind them, and then four Czech light machine guns stretched out of the holes, and before the second lieutenant Tachihara and the surviving dozen devil soldiers reacted, the four Czech light machine guns had already fired at the same time.

In less than a moment, all the devil soldiers who had nowhere to hide were swept to the ground.

The dozen or so [***] people bypassed the trap in a hurry, and with an indifferent expression, they first made up for the ghost soldiers who were shot but did not die, and then went down to the trap to mend the knives for the ghost soldiers who were also injured but not dead, and two of the ghost soldiers tried to pick up the grenade and chose to die together, but they were directly cut off their heads.

………… Second Lieutenant Akino of the other army squad was even more arrogant than Second Lieutenant Tachihara.

After less than 100 meters of searching forward, there were only two devil soldiers left around Second Lieutenant Akino, and the rest of the devil soldiers had all been sent by him to search in another fork in the road, Second Lieutenant Akino was very arrogant, he thought that one imperial warrior was enough to fight against ten Chinese soldiers, so three or five imperial warriors acted alone, and there was no problem in safety.

"Whoosh......" In the darkness, a black shadow suddenly flashed through the fork in the road ahead.

Second Lieutenant Akino and the two devil soldiers raised their guns at the same time, and their eyes instinctively swept in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.

Almost at the same time, another black shadow appeared in the direction where the black shadow appeared just now, taking advantage of the gap between Second Lieutenant Akino and the two devil soldiers who were diverted by the black shadow in front of them, and suddenly raised the clean face box in his hand is two shots.

Second Lieutenant Akino reacted very quickly, the second black shadow just raised the gun, the corner of his eye had already swept away, and then he suddenly stepped forward, and at the same time raised the southern pistol in his hand and fired two shots indiscriminately, two scorching bullets almost flew through the head of Second Lieutenant Akino, taking away Akino's military hat and also hitting the tunnel wall behind him with dust.

After firing two shots, the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side did not fall into the fight, turned around and disappeared into the darkness again.

"Yaga Yaru!" Second Lieutenant Akino scolded angrily, turned over and jumped up, and chased after him with two devil soldiers.

Although Lieutenant Akino is arrogant, he does have arrogant capital, this little devil not only reacts quickly, is vigorous, and his judgment is even more outstanding, and one or two turns actually let him rush to the front and block the way of the [***] officer, and the face of the [***] officer immediately became embarrassed and abnormal.

The two sides confronted each other for about four or five seconds, and the lieutenant [***] officer suddenly raised his gun.

The middle [***] officer's skills are very fast, but the second lieutenant Akino is faster, and before the [***] officer shoots the bullet, the southern pistol in the hand of the second lieutenant Akino has already sounded first, this little devil's marksmanship is really not covered, and within twenty meters without aiming, it directly shot through the right wrist of the opposite [***] officer, and the clean face box in the hand of the [***] officer fell to the ground.

As soon as Second Lieutenant Akino waved his hand, the two ghost soldiers behind him forced him up with a smirk.

A hint of determination suddenly flashed across the face of the [***] officer on the opposite side, and with the cover of his body, his left hand quietly untied a melon grenade, and then pulled down the pull ring and pounced on the two devil soldiers with a cruel smile, only to hear a loud bang, and the [***] officer and the two devil soldiers were knocked to the ground by the waves of anger at the same time.

By the time Second Lieutenant Akino stepped forward, the two devil soldiers were already too dead to die.

"Yaga!" Second Lieutenant Akino's face turned blue with anger, but he already had the intention of retreating in his heart.

The [***] team hidden in the tunnel is by no means simple, although the battle just now was short, and there were only two Chinese soldiers Liao Liao in the face, but Second Lieutenant Akino was keenly aware that this [***] team was by no means an ordinary [***] team, not only the tacit understanding between individual soldiers, but also the use of the tunnel terrain was even more skillful!

If the [***] team hidden in the tunnel is such a quality and will to die, then most of the nine infantry squads that went down to the tunnel have already suffered accidents, thinking of this, Second Lieutenant Akino did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately took out two grenades to blow up a section of the bunker on the top of the tunnel, and returned to the ground.

………… On the ground, after fifteen minutes, another flare rose into the air.

Under the bright light as day, Yuan Ye Shaozuo was anxiously pacing back and forth in front of the heavy machine gun position at the headquarters of the brigade, and the nine infantry search teams had been down to the tunnel for more than half an hour, and there were fierce gunfire explosions in the tunnel from time to time, but he never saw half of the Chinese soldiers emerging from the ground, and Yuan Ye Shaozuo gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.

Only then did Yuan Ye Shaozo suddenly realize that tunnel warfare was still a new subject for the imperial army.

The field combat strength of more than a dozen permanent divisions and regiments of the army can be described as world-class, and the soldiers' will to fight a decisive battle and the quality of individual soldiers are among the best in the world, but they are really not very good at tunnel operations; in fact, as the most elite field divisions and regiments, there is no need to practice tunnel operations at all, because it is the combat mission of a garrison brigade or a mixed brigade.

When Yuan Ye Shaoza was feeling anxious, a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose from the ground in the distance.

More than a dozen light and heavy machine gunners on the heavy machine gun position hurriedly pulled the bolt and prepared to shoot, and the machine gun commander who was squatting next to him also raised the command knife in his hand. ”

"Don't shoot, it's me." The smoke and dust cleared, and a figure fell from the ground and stumbled up, and immediately raised his hands and shouted in a whisper, "I'm Akino Takeo of the Akino team. ”

"Akino-kun?" Yuan Ye Shaozuo's eyes suddenly widened, and before the strong light of the flare was extinguished, Yuan Ye Shaozo clearly saw that several black shadows appeared from the wilderness in the distance at the same time, and the muzzle of the black hole in his hand was already aimed at the vest of Lieutenant Qiu Ye.

Yuan Ye Shaozuo hurriedly ordered, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns on the heavy machine gun position of the brigade headquarters immediately opened fire, and the dense fire was violently sprinkled on the Chinese soldiers, but before the army machine guns fired, the Chinese soldiers had already pulled the trigger indifferently, and then retracted back into the underground tunnel.

The flare was finally extinguished, and the darkness returned to Shino again.

"Quick." Harano Shaozo hurriedly said, "Carry Akino-kun back for me!" ”

The two devil soldiers rose up in response, and in less than half a cup of tea, they took Lieutenant Akino back, and Lieutenant Akino miraculously did not die, or even injured, this little devil was locked by several Chinese snipers at the same time, and he was able to come back alive, which is really not ordinary.

"Akino-kun!" Yuan Ye Shaozo hurriedly said, "How is the situation in the tunnel?" ”

Second Lieutenant Akino gasped: "Sir, the Shina army on the opposite side is by no means an ordinary army, it is likely to be the legendary Baoshan Brigade, two of my team have been confirmed to be killed, and the remaining twenty-six people have all lost contact, most of them have suffered accidents, as for the other eight search teams, it is likely that all of them have been accidental." ”
