Xuzhou, Baoshan Brigade Headquarters and Garrison Headquarters.

He Yingqin, the minister of military orders, strode into the war room surrounded by guards.

The staff officers who were working on the map in the war room stood up and saluted, but their eyes couldn't help but glance behind General He, behind General He was followed by a tall foreign girl, Liu Yi, chief of staff of the Baoshan Brigade, just came out of the telecommunications room, and saw that it was He Yingqin, the minister of military orders and chief of the general staff, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "General seat!" ”

He Yingqin glanced at the war room, frowned, and said, "What, Yue Weihan is not here again?" ”

Liu Yi said with a little embarrassment: "Back to the main seat, our brigade will go to inspect the tunnel position of the 1st Regiment outside the east gate." ”

"Tunnels?" He Yingqin frowned more and more, and said, "As a Xuzhou garrison brigade, your Baoshan Brigade does not maintain order in the city, what kind of pit do you dig outside the east gate?" ”

"This ......" Liu Yi could only smile bitterly, not knowing how to explain it for a while.

"What nonsense." He Yingqin said impatiently, "You send someone to find me immediately and let Yue Weihan come back." ”

………… Outside the east gate, the position of the 1st Regiment of Baoshan.

Yue Weihan was inspecting the position accompanied by Cao Xinglong and Huang Baocheng, chief of staff of the regiment, and Huang Baocheng introduced as he walked: "You see, the tunnels of each company are all constructed in strict accordance with the drawings issued by the General Staff, the top of the communication trenches has been reinforced with logs and stones, and anti-artillery holes have been dug every five meters on both sides, and they have all been reinforced with ash. ”

"Hmm." Yue Weihan nodded, and said, "Under each communication trench, more tunnels must be dug, foxholes and guard positions must also be connected with tunnels, and each tunnel must leave more exits to form a dense tunnel network. ”

Cao Xinglong and Huang Baocheng nodded again and again after hearing this, they may not be able to understand the essence of the tunnel warfare, but they have unreserved trust in Yue Weihan, in fact, since Yue Weihan became the acting commander of the Baoshan Battalion, Yue Weihan has led his brothers to create too many miracles, just by virtue of this, they are willing to believe in Yue Weihan unconditionally.

However, as a traverser, Yue Weihan was very aware of the power of the tunnel battle.

In the Korean battlefield, the reason why the volunteers of millet plus rifles were able to thwart the United States, which was armed to the teeth, in addition to the heroic spirit of death, the most important battle was tunnel warfare! Because the U.S. military was unable to clear the tunnels, the volunteers often just captured their positions during the day, but at night, they were immediately recaptured by the volunteers.

It is no exaggeration to say that tunnel warfare is the most powerful weapon used by backward equipment to deal with the mechanized army, and with the help of the tunnel network extending in all directions, the power of the army's mechanized equipment will be greatly weakened, and its heavy artillery and aviation units will basically lose their effectiveness because they cannot find ground targets that can be bombed.

Bending down through a narrow tunnel, Yue Weihan came to a foxhole at the forefront of the position.

"This is the most advanced guard position of our regiment." Huang Baocheng then crawled out of the tunnel and said, "It's about four hundred meters away from our main position. ”

The role of the guard post is to guard the battlefield.

Once the army launches an attack, it will first encounter the [***] warning post, and at this time, the army has only two options, either flood the [***] guard post at the cost of huge casualties, or spread the attack formation in advance, so that the [***] main position 400 meters away has enough time to prepare.

After hearing this, Yue Weihan shook his head and said, "No, the guard position has to be placed further forward, eight hundred meters away!" ”

"Eight hundred meters?" Huang Baocheng was stunned and said, "Brigade seat, if the guard position is set up 800 meters away, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the vanguard to withdraw to the main tunnel after the warning." ”

"This battle is different from the past." Yue Weihan sighed and said, "In the past, whether it was in Jiangpu or Hanzhuang, we were only facing a single brigade or a single division of the army, but this time in Xuzhou, we will face the heavy army group of the army, and then we will not face a field artillery or mountain artillery wing, but a heavy artillery brigade of the army." ”

"What is a heavy artillery brigade?" Yue Weihan said this and asked Cao Xinglong and Huang Baocheng, "Do you know? ”

"I don't know." Cao Xinglong and Huang Baocheng shook their heads honestly, the most powerful artillery they have ever learned so far is the 105-caliber mountain artillery of the Guozaki detachment!

Just this 105 caliber mountain artillery, in the battle of Jiangpu has already broken the masonry concrete fortifications carefully constructed by the Baoshan regiment, if it were not for Yue Weihan carefully designed a trap to eliminate the mountain artillery wing of the Kunisaki detachment in one fell swoop with the tactics of the redemption, the battle of Jiangpu would definitely be a different ending.

"I'll tell you so." Yue Weihan said, "The 105 mountain artillery of the Kunisaki detachment is powerful enough, right?" But in front of the artillery of the heavy artillery brigade of the Yue Army, the 105 mountain artillery is simply scum! The little devil heavy artillery brigade is armed with heavy howitzers with a caliber of more than 150, and heavy mortars with a caliber of more than 200! ”

"With such a large-caliber heavy artillery, the lethality is not blown!"

"If a cannon is smashed, it can directly blow up a large crater with a diameter of ten meters on the ground, and if it is directly hit by a cannonball, even if you hide in the ground, you will be directly shocked to death! It's even worse to stay on the ground, the air wave generated by the explosion can directly tear you to pieces, and the killing radius of the explosion fragments is more than fifty meters! ”

Yue Weihan had no intention of being alarmist.

It is generally believed that the artillery of the Yue Army is small in caliber and weak in lethality, and is far less powerful than the American howitzers, but few people know that the Yue Army actually has large-caliber heavy howitzers and cannons, but due to the shortage of resources, the Army is only equipped with six heavy artillery brigades.

Cao Xinglong and Huang Baocheng immediately looked at each other, and the terrifying scene described by Yue Weihan really surprised them.

"So......" Yue Weihan let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I ask you to dig tunnels, and you must dig deep enough, and you must leave enough exits to form a network of tunnels that extend in all directions, otherwise it is easy to be killed by the heavy artillery of the army, or the tunnels will be blown up and buried alive in the ground!" ”

"That's why I ask you to put the cordon position eight hundred meters away, because after the artillery bombardment, our tunnels will definitely be damaged to varying degrees, and a considerable part of the tunnel exits will be blown up, and if there is not enough time, the brothers will not have time to re-ascend to the ground position!"

"Traveler, I see! You can rest assured that our regiment will strictly follow the drawings issued by the General Staff to carry out construction, and the requirements will only be higher, not lower! "Cao Xinglong didn't really understand Yue Weihan's good intentions until this time, as Yue Weihan said, digging more tunnels and sweating more at this time, the brothers will be able to shed less blood during wartime!

"Okay, you continue the construction, I'll go around the position of the 2nd regiment." Yue Weihan said again.

"Report!" Yue Weihan's voice fell, and a major staff officer of the brigade staff department suddenly arrived in a hurry, stood up and saluted, "Brigade seat, please return to the headquarters immediately." ”

"Back to headquarters?" Yue Weihan frowned and said, "Did the chief of staff say anything?" ”

The major staff officer said with a strange expression: "Minister He of the Military Command Department is here, and he also brought a foreign girl. ”

"Minister Ho?" Yue Weihan's brows became more and more frowned, "What is he doing in Xuzhou at this time?" ”

"I don't know about this lowly position." The major staff officer shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brigade seat, you better go back quickly." ”

Yue Weihan was helpless, so he had to jump into the jeep and say to Chu Zhongtian: "Don't go to the position of the 2nd regiment, go back to the brigade headquarters." ”

Chu Zhongtian immediately sat in the driver's seat, Tang Dashan also quickly sat in the passenger seat, Chu Zhongtian immediately started the car and slammed the accelerator, and the jeep suddenly rushed out like a lightning speed,............ Baoshan Brigade Department.

Admiral He Yingqin was obviously impatient to wait, if it weren't for the fact that he had something to ask Yue Weihan for this trip, he was afraid that he would have already brushed his sleeves away, and a small major general and brigade commander would dare to let him, a dignified first-class general of the party-state, wait for more than half an hour.

When Admiral He was about to get angry again, Yue Weihan finally returned.

"Brigadier Yue!" Admiral He said a little unhappily, "You really made us wait?" ”

Yue Weihan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and immediately said with a smile: "Forgive me, I really didn't know that you were coming, if I knew that you were coming, how could I dare to go out?" ”

"Alright, who's going to listen to you say that's useless?" Admiral He was actually not really angry in his heart, he still didn't dare to ignore Yue Weihan, his beloved student and fellow countryman, not to mention that Yue Weihan had already compensated him, and the only bit of unhappiness in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"Come on, Tadashi, I'll introduce you to an American guest." Admiral He said that, and then led Yue Weihan to the side.

Only then did Yue Weihan notice that there was actually a foreign girl in the staff department, tall, curvaceous, with blonde hair flowing down like waves, and a pair of eyes as blue as the sea, Yue Weihan suddenly had a line in his mind: angel-like face, devil-like figure, this is definitely a disaster-level "ocean horse"!

"This is Miss Helen." Admiral He smiled and said, "Special correspondent of the Associated Press." ”

After that, Admiral He said to the blonde girl again: "Miss Helen, this is Brigadier Yue Weihan. ”

"Oh, Jue Turner (General) Yue, you yourself are more handsome and charming than the photographs published in the newspapers, and I am glad to know you." The American girl took two steps forward and enthusiastically opened her jade arms towards Yue Weihan, of course Yue Weihan knew that this was the etiquette of Westerners, so he opened his arms without thinking and gently hugged the slender waist of the American girl.

The staff officers of the Baoshan Brigade Staff Headquarters were immediately stupid, and General He and Liu Yi were also a little confused.

It happened that Major Liu Xin came out of the telecommunications room, and when he saw this scene, his originally ruddy pretty face suddenly became a little pale, and he thought hatefully in his heart, "Husband and Silver Woman, this damn Husband and Silver Woman."
