"Well, we've blown up the Spaniards' shell storage warehouse, and we should be able to go on the offensive next. When the time comes, we will be able to destroy them easily, and then we will not be far away from victory! Ma Junhui, the former commander-in-chief of the West Borneo Military Region, said.

"Okay, we're going to attack, so we must make it impossible for them to resist at all!"

And in the headquarters of the Spaniards, Boris immediately said: "Our shells have been blown up by the Taiwanese army this time, and we can only ask you next!" I hope you will succeed this time, and if you do, then you will be a hero of our Spain. ”

An officer with the rank of colonel immediately said: "Commander, please rest assured, I think our enemy will not be able to deal with this tactic of ours at all, as long as we can make good use of our tactics, then we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy very well." When the time comes, please welcome the news of our victory, Commander! ”

And the colonel's officer left immediately, and no one knew what he was going to do or what kind of conspiracy he had. And the Taiwanese army is preparing to charge, and at this time they didn't expect that their opponents are not ordinary people!

"Commander-in-chief, our engineering corps reports, it seems that there is something unusual in the position!" A staff officer said to Ma Junhui.

"What? Something unusual? What anomaly? What will the engineers be able to find? "Ma Junhui felt incredible.

In Ma Junhui's eyes, the engineers should also dig trenches and build buildings, but now some people actually say that the engineers have found a problem, and this value makes them feel incredible. And now, Ma Junhui also began to care about what the engineers had discovered, which made them face them so anxiously.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, our engineering corps has found that in the no-man's land of the Spanish position in front of us, there are many earthworms that have begun to show dirt, and these earthworms showing dirt indicate that it is obviously abnormal." Said the commander of an engineering battalion.

"Is there any difference?" Ma Junhui didn't know much about the engineers, so he took the initiative to ask.

"The big problem is that in general, earthworms rarely crawl out of the dirt because the dirt keeps their mothers from facing the air and sunlight and keeps their bodies moist. In most cases, earthworms crawl out of the soil after the rain, because the soil is flooded with a lot of water after the rain, so the earthworms have to crawl out of the soil to allow themselves to breathe. But now it's not raining, and the earthworms are crawling out of the dirt, which means a problem. The engineer battalion commander paused.

"What's the problem?" Ma Junhui asked.

"That means that there are people who are building engineering facilities, because when we dig trenches, there are also a lot of earthworms crawling out, so it means that they are also building engineering facilities. However, in the no-man's land in front of us, there are actually a lot of engineering facilities under construction, which is obviously impossible. On the surface, we don't see any engineering facilities being built, but I dare to assert that there are tunnels being dug under the ground in the no-man's land ahead. They dug tunnels to be able to dig our trenches and then carry out some offensive means! Said the commander of the engineering battalion.

When Ma Junhui heard this, he immediately had a headache and asked, "How do we deal with it?" Could it be that we bombarded with artillery? ”

"Commander-in-chief, I'm afraid not, our artillery can't really tell exactly where their tunnels are. Although they were digging tunnels, they couldn't be accurately hit with artillery, after all, their tunnels were still not too big for the entire battlefield. So it would be of little use to bombard it directly with artillery. Said the commander of the engineering battalion.

Ma Junhui immediately covered his head, he really suffered a loss. This time the enemy was forced to dig tunnels to attack, which is simply ridiculous. However, this is actually not a way to attack, dig a tunnel to attack, so that if the tunnel can be dug into the trench on the Taiwan side, then their soldiers can also dig along the tunnel. With such a long tunnel, it is completely possible for the enemy soldiers to rush over, and there is no need to worry about the overhead cannons, machine guns, mortars, grenadiers and other weapons, and then the Spaniards can solve this problem very well.

"Damn, you came up with this idea?" Ma Junhui hammered the table and said irritably.

This method really hit the dead end of the Taiwan army, although the Taiwanese army seems to have very fierce firepower, and even artillery machine guns and so on are the only scorpions on the earth. But with such fierce firepower, it's okay to face the enemy on the ground, but if you face the enemy underground, there is really nothing you can do. After all, it is difficult for artillery bombardment to hit the tunnel, and if it can't hit the tunnel, then naturally it is impossible to directly kill the enemy's engineering troops to organize the enemy to dig tunnels. Digging tunnels is not a technical job, and ordinary soldiers can do it. And then, Taiwan's machine guns, artillery, and all kinds of grenadiers and other weapons are useless in the face of this kind of tunnel. They only supported some wood under the tunnel, which could also ensure that weapons such as light grenadiers would not collapse. As for the heavy artillery hit, it can only be said that you are unlucky, but this probability is low.

"Commander-in-chief, if they attack from the tunnel and rush directly into our position, then our weapon superiority will not be able to be brought into play. At that time, our twin engines were completely close to each other, so we must have suffered a lot in terms of numbers! Said the engineering battalion.

And Ma Junhui immediately realized this situation, if once the Spanish army dug tunnels directly into the trenches of Taiwan, then they could also pass through a large number of soldiers, and then engage in close combat with Taiwan's army. And at that time, Taiwan's artillery superiority, as well as the firepower superiority of mortars and grenadiers, could not be brought into play. And heavy machine guns can't be used in trenches, and those grenades or weapons can't be thrown directly at their comrades, right? So at that time, the most troublesome thing was here, all kinds of heavy weapons could not be used, and then all of them had to rely on human flesh and blood to fight. Or use a rifle to fight, and then it's a war of attrition. At present, there are only more than 40,000 people on the Taiwan side, and some of them are artillery, machine gunners, and other technical arms, and these arms have almost no melee combat ability.

And the shotguns and the troops that Taiwan can use are a small number of troops with Stern submachine guns, after all, and if they face the influx of more than 100,000 troops, they may really be unable to stop it. In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, the firepower of the Taiwan side has also been weakened to the extreme, and the combat effectiveness has declined, and it is impossible to exert all the firepower.

And now all kinds of means are useless, so the Taiwan military has no way to stop it, which is a very headache situation.

"Shall we retreat some distance first?" Ma Junhui thought.

"Commander-in-chief, why don't you hand it over to our engineers? This time, it will be up to us engineers to solve this battle, what do you think? The engineer battalion commander asked.

"You sappers? To command the troops to fight? Ma Junhui immediately hesitated.

The commander of the engineer battalion immediately said: "Commander-in-chief, if you hand over the first trench to us, then we will definitely not allow the enemy to break through the first trench." If the enemy breaks through the first trench, then we'll meet you! ”

"Well, in that case, then I authorize you to be the head of the provisional engineer regiment, and then you will be responsible for coordinating the temporary command of the first trench. This time, you won't be able to let the enemy break through our first trench, and we won't let you go! Ma Junhui said.

Because Ma Junhui is only a former enemy commander-in-chief, he does not have the power to reorganize the troops, but he can temporarily carry out temporary formation. This provisional appointment cannot be used as a formal appointment, but many officers also hope to become these provisional officers, because if they can obtain the position of provisional officer, it will be of great help to themselves in the future. Therefore, many people also hope to be able to obtain the position of temporary officer, and they will be given priority in the formal promotion in the future.

"Brothers of the engineering corps, today we are going to start work. Today, we also want to show our opponents that not only do we have the strength of other arms, but we also have the ability to fight. Our engineers are also able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and we must be no worse than those other branches of the army! We are not masons, we are a soldier, a soldier, a soldier who can kill the enemy. The commander of the Provisional Engineering Corps shouted.

Soon, the soldiers of the first line of trenches also gradually retreated to the second line of trenches in a large number of transport wagons, and then only a small number of infantry were left behind to cooperate. However, these coordinated infantry are also soldiers with submachine guns, and the fire is very fierce. And in this way, it is enough for the coordinated firepower of the engineering troops to be strong enough to avoid a large amount of enemy firepower. Anyway, the enemy is mainly engineered, so there is no need to worry about how powerful their firepower is.

"Everyone, get ready, let me keep an eye on the dirt, and if there's anything different, tell me right away." The commander of the provisional engineering corps said.

"Yes!" The engineers replied one after another. (To be continued.) )
