Da Da Da ...... A fierce shootout broke out in the village of Wawu Xinzhuang. The Japanese were menacing, and the light and heavy machine guns were firing incessantly while the infantry advanced, and the bullets were as dense as water. The grenadiers also continued to bombard the village. Although the few small troops surrounded in the village were all elites, this kind of head-on confrontation was not something they were familiar with and good at, so they quickly fell behind. As the periphery of the Japanese army becomes more and more dense, the situation is becoming more and more dangerous!

"Kill, give!" Hideo Kurosaki, the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 39th Wing of the Japanese Army, saw that the gunfire on the opposite side was gradually thinning, and immediately gave the order to attack.

"Onboard!" The Japanese soldiers who were lying down and shooting jumped up and howled and rushed forward, all of them exuding a violent atmosphere. To their excitement, the resistance on the other side was getting weaker, and it was clear that it would be an easy victory.

It didn't take long for the Japanese to successfully break through to the defenders' positions, and the gunfire finally subsided. Hessian Hideo rushed over excitedly, but saw that the Japanese soldiers were all gathered in a daze.

"Yaga!" Hessian Shaozo angrily squeezed in and scolded: "What are you all doing here? What about the soldiers? I didn't even see a corpse for anything! ”

A second lieutenant cautiously said, "Your Excellency, Captain, they, those people have disappeared from here!" ”

"Nani? Gone! "Hessian Shaozo took a closer look and found that there was actually a crypt here, and it was very hidden, and it was difficult to find it without careful observation.

The fifth squadron leader, Limu Xiangang, guessed: "Your Excellency, the people from the last time must have also gone into the hole, no wonder we haven't been able to find it!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Hideo Hesse was furious. He actually showed a look of excitement and cruelty, and shouted again: "You, you, you, you go down immediately and pull the person out of the mouse hole!" ”

Limu Xiangang glanced at it and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, it's too dangerous here, let the people go down first!" ”

Hideo Hessen snorted, nodded and said, "Yo Xi." Hurry! ”

Albeit with extreme reluctance. More than a dozen puppet soldiers still jumped in. Because jumping down doesn't necessarily mean you die, if you don't jump, you're going to die. These puppet soldiers were not brought by the Japanese army from enemy-occupied areas, but recruited after the occupation of Yongqing County. If they knew that the first thing they did when they joined the army was to send them to death, they don't know if they would covet those military salaries and settling-in expenses.

Hideo Hessen and Kengang Tachiki surrounded it with a group of soldiers. Full of anticipation. It didn't take long for the results to be. I heard a scream coming from inside. And then it came to an abrupt end. The Japanese puppet soldiers surrounding it looked at each other, feeling a little strange and frightened.

"A few more!" Limu Xiangang waved his hand and commanded coldly. Several Japanese soldiers immediately drove more than a dozen puppet soldiers in. Who would have thought that these guys would be heard from as soon as they entered. It's like a message out of thin air.

"Yaga! Despicable guys, dead and dead! Because he didn't hear the firefight, Hideo Hemori thought that the puppet soldiers were deliberately hiding, so he ordered the Japanese soldiers to go down and search, and ordered them to "wipe out all the people in the cave!" "In order to gain a firepower advantage, they also deliberately brought three crooked handles.

Da Da Da ...... Dense gunfire soon erupted from inside the cave, but soon there were screams and curses in Japanese. Limu Xiangang was worried that the troops were not enough, and with a wave of his hand, another group of soldiers got in. From time to time, gunshots could be heard in the crypt, but the soldiers who went in never came out again. At first, you could hear faint moans, but then you couldn't hear anything at all, as if none of this had happened.

Hideo Hesse stared angrily at the entrance of the cave and shouted angrily, "Yaga! Go, get some pumps, I'm going to send all these hairy monkeys to hell!" ”

"Hello!"

At that time, although China was backward, the industry and commerce in the Beijing-Tianjin-Baozhou triangle were still relatively developed. The Japanese army soon "requisitioned" several pumping machines from the county seat of Yongqing and towed them by truck. The pipes were quickly laid, one end connected to the well, and the other end was placed at the mouth of the hole. As the diesel engine flickered, the well water suddenly flowed out of the water pipe. The Japanese soldiers present all shouted excitedly.

Hesse Shaozo said triumphantly: "The work of the people, the work of the rats, I want to make them all turn into water rats!" ”

A translator next to him hurriedly patted his ass and said: "Taijun is wise, according to the Chinese, it is to go to water prison!" ”

Hessian Shaozo nodded with satisfaction, patted the translator on the shoulder and said, "Yo Xi, Liang Sang, your loyalty is great!" ”

"Xie Taijun praise, Xie Taijun praise!" Liang Yiyi was so happy that he bowed deeply as if he had eaten bee droppings.

However, time passed minute by minute, and the hole was not filled for a long time. The Japanese soldiers were a little impatient, and even Lieutenant Hesse and Lieutenant Tateki were a little anxious. After lunch, everyone came back and saw that everything was the same, except that the entrance to the cave had been washed away by the current. It was a little frustrating for them all.

Limu Xiangang suggested: "Your Excellency, Captain, do you want to use special cigarettes?" "Special cigarettes are poison gases, which are deliberately used by the Japanese army in order to obscure people's eyes and confuse the public.

Heisen Shaozo thought for a moment and nodded unwillingly. It was not that he was worried about international public opinion and humanitarian condemnation, but that his brigade was not equipped with chemical weapons, and if he wanted to release poison gas, he had to ask the division for "tactical guidance", which made him feel very shameless.

Two flowers bloom, one for each branch, let's talk about the special service brigade. Just when the Japanese army was digging out their minds to deal with the tunnels, the 2nd Gao Artillery had already led the troops to converge with the command organs of the 3rd Division. How did they find out about authenticity? Doesn't it mean that the tunnel fortifications in Yongqing County are not complete? So what's going on with this tunnel? Let's go back to the beginning.

At that time, the Japanese army surrounded the village of Wawu Xinzhuang from all sides. The Second Artillery Corps relied on the terrain to resist stubbornly, but after all, the troops were insufficient, and there was no heavy firepower to support them, and the situation was extremely dangerous for a time. Just when the soldiers were about to shed the last drop of blood for national liberation, a half-old child suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Ahem, which unit are you from?" The child is also quite bold, like a chief. asked in a mocking manner.

The soldiers were taken aback, dragged him behind the makeshift fortifications, and asked, "Hey, you little brat, where did you come from!" ”

The child glared and said, "You speak first!" ”

Gao Ercang said: "We are a unit directly under the Jizhong Military Region. Little brother, are you from the tunnel, can you take us out of here? ”

The child thought for a moment, saw the Japanese army approaching closer and closer, and finally nodded.

The fighters fought and retreated, and soon got into the tunnel entrance. In the beginning. Everyone thought it was a tunnel dug by the villagers themselves. It was only after drilling in that I realized that something was wrong. Because these underground fortifications are made of giant green bricks (all 30×16×8 cm in size, this kind of plain brick is hard, the soil is fine, and it is fired at high temperature when manufactured), and there are wedge-shaped bricks for the top of the ballast. Some also use white ash to fill the joints.

The level of skill is very high. The consumption of manpower and material resources is huge. It's all shocking. Obviously, this is simply not something that ordinary villages can afford. Even if the villagers here are rich and good at building underground fortifications, it is too late in time! Could it be that our ancestors have been building tunnels in secret for generations? It's ridiculous too. The fighters were feeling a little incredible.

Gao Erpao stretched out his hand and touched the wall, and said in surprise: "Little brother, this is built by your village?" ”

The child raised his head proudly, snorted and said, "You don't care! ”

Gao Erpao couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "Hey, look at it, this little gazi!" ”

Gazi is a northern dialect, and adults often jokingly call those children with a more "twisted" temper as Gazi in life. The more famous is the little soldier Zhang Ga, although this is a fictional character in a literary work, he represents thousands of children and teenagers who served the country in the occupied areas. Like Yue Yun, who killed the enemy for the country at the age of sixteen, he is our national hero.

Unexpectedly, the child suddenly jumped forward and shouted: "Don't come over, we have to review and review first!" ”

Gao Ercang found that there were ambushes around him, and he hurriedly asked everyone not to move, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

An officer came out, answered a few codes, and when he saw that there were no questions, he asked happily: "Brothers, what part are you?" ”

Gao Ercang replied: "We are a unit directly under the General Assembly, and I am Gao Ercannon, the captain of the first special combat team of the Special Service Brigade, and I have been ordered to come to the rescue of the command organ of the Third Division!" Are you in the tripartite? ”

The officer was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Oh, it's so good to see you, I'm Geng Chunbiao, the platoon commander of the second platoon of the first company of the third division guard battalion, and I've seen Captain Gao!" ”

They were also very excited, and hurriedly asked, "Platoon Commander Geng, Commander Duan, they are all right, where are they now?" ”

Platoon Commander Geng sighed and said, "The night before yesterday, we were surrounded by the Japanese army in the village above, and the losses were not small, and Commander Duan was also wounded. Fortunately, the little devil blew down a section of the foundation with one shot, allowing us to discover this tunnel, otherwise we and the villagers would have been doomed. ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Gao Erpao asked again: "Then why don't you contact the general manager?" They're dying! ”

Platoon Commander Geng said guiltily: "Several radio stations have been blown up by devils, and the correspondent can't rush out, so ......."

Gao Ercang sighed and said, "Alas, what about your current situation, what about Commander Duan?" ”

Platoon Commander Geng pointed to the ground and said, "There is no problem here for the time being, even if the devil finds the entrance, he will not be able to rush in for a while." However, we didn't bring in much food, and it won't work for a long time. Commander Duan was leading his soldiers around the tunnel to see if there was a suitable route to break out. He also explained: "Because we came in from this entrance, Commander Duan was worried that the devils would chase us in along the tunnel, so he let us stay in the platoon." I've sent someone to inform the big troops. ”

Ni Chunni asked curiously: "What else are you looking for?" Didn't you dig this tunnel? ”

Seeing that it was a female soldier, Platoon Commander Geng couldn't help but take a look at it more, and said with a smile: "Hehe, where can we get such a big project?" Besides, it's too late! ”

Gao Erpao smiled: "I was about to ask you, who is so big!" ”

Platoon Commander Geng shook his head and said, "We don't know, and we don't know what to do when I ask the villagers." According to Secretary Li of the headquarters, it may have been repaired in ancient times. ”

Gao Erpao was a little unconvinced, and joked: "When will the things that were repaired be managed until now?" I won't be able to repair it when I regain my sight! ”

Platoon Commander Geng said with a smile: "Who knows this way, maybe it was done by the Boxers!" As he spoke, he took everyone around the room again.

Everyone followed a while, only to find that the tunnel they had just passed through was only a drop in the bucket compared to the entire underground fortifications. It's just an entrance. Once inside, there is a large tunnel (relatively speaking) that is very spacious and about three meters high and can be used by two horse-drawn carriages to pass through together. There are also smaller, single-person, and very complex "Ecstasy Caves".

In addition, there are special military facilities such as eye turning, sandwich walls, bunkers, and gates, and there are living facilities such as wells, air holes, lampstands, and clay kang at intervals, which is simply an underground city. After entering the core area, there is also a very large hiding room, which can accommodate hundreds of people.

Most of the people who fled from Wawu Xinzhuang Village and several nearby villages are hiding here. The guard battalion organized them into several squadrons and stationed them in various caves. The villagers saw another army coming in. They all looked at each other curiously.

A well-connected villager also asked, "Platoon Commander Geng." Another troop has withdrawn? ”

Platoon Commander Geng explained: "This is the unit sent by Commander-in-Chief Zheng to rescue us!" ”

The villagers were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all stepped forward and asked, "Boss, when can we go out?" It's not a problem to squat here! If you stay like this, you're going to be hungry! ”

Gao Erpao said apologetically: "I'm afraid it's not right now." We just came down from above. The little devil surrounded him to death. Also probe around......"

Phew! As he spoke, there were suddenly several gunshots in the distance, which sounded particularly dull in the tunnel. The villagers were taken aback and cried out in panic: "Oh no. It must be the little devils who have come in! "Many people got up and wanted to run, and for a while the adults screamed, the children cried, and it was a mess.

Platoon Commander Geng hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, folks, we are guarding the entrance of the cave, and the little devils can't rush in!" "After persuading for a long time, it was not easy to calm everyone down. When the people saw the light outside, no one rushed inside, and finally stopped panicking. During the Republic of China, wars were fought almost every day, and the people's ability to adapt to war was still quite strong, and their psychological quality was much stronger than that of people in peacetime.

Gao Erpao was a little uneasy, and said: "Platoon Commander Geng, you take care of the people here, and I will take a team of people to the entrance to have a look." ”

Platoon Commander Geng hurriedly said: "It's okay, then there will be Captain Lao Gao and the brothers!" ”

Gao Erpao waved his hand and said, "Hey, the family doesn't talk to each other!" ”

The special combat team had just arrived near the entrance of the cave and happened to encounter a group of puppet soldiers who had come in, so they took advantage of the terrain to easily kill a few and capture all the remaining guys. Twenty or thirty were captured alive, all without guns. The Japanese troops who came in then were more vigilant, but their style of play could not be used in the tunnels at all, and they were soon wiped out.

Liu Zhongxing was worried that the special combat team was too small, so he led the Blue Eagle team to help, but he ran in vain and quipped: "It's not a loss to the special service brigade, this battle is fought!" ”

Gao Erpao smiled: "You guys are not bad! ”

While they were touting each other, Platoon Commander Geng hurried over and said, "Captain Gao, Captain Liu, Deputy Commander Guo of our military division is here!" "Deputy Commander Guo is Guo Mocun, the former commander-in-chief of the Sixth Route of the Hebei Guerrilla Army, and now his actual position is the political commissar of the Third Division, known as the deputy commander to the outside world.

Soon after Deputy Commander Guo arrived, Duan Shuanghu also hurried back with a few soldiers, and was very happy to see the second artillery piece. After greeting for a while, he hurriedly asked, "Did you bring a radio station?" I have an important military situation to report to the headquarters! ”

The telegram soon reached the headquarters of Lixian County. Political Commissar Cheng and Chief of Staff Zhou were overjoyed when they saw the telegram and hurriedly reported the good news to Zheng Weiguo of Renqiu. At this time, the field phone was also laid out, so it could talk directly.

"What! Found the command of the three divisions? Duan Shuanghu, they are all alive? Good, good, good! Zheng Weiguo excitedly put down the phone and said to the officers present: "I tell you a good news, the command organ of the three divisions has successfully broken through the siege, and now it has successfully joined forces with the special service brigade behind enemy lines!" As soon as the words fell, the conference room suddenly burst into jubilation.

Political Commissar Cheng hurriedly said: "Commander, don't just be happy, Commander Duan still has important military information!" I've sent a telegram, you can take a look at it right away! ”

Zheng Weiguo knew that the political commissar of Daocheng would not be untargeted, and there must be a reason for saying this, so he announced a temporary adjournment. The telegraph operator quickly sent the secret message.

In the telegram, Duan Shuanghu first explained the situation in the past few days and the reason for not being able to contact the headquarters in time, and then recounted his astonishing discovery, that is, the huge tunnel fortifications under Wawu Xinzhuang Village.

One might say, what does a tunnel work report on? This is no ordinary work. Duan Shuanghu alone has dozens of kilometers of what they have explored so far, and one end of it leads to Yongqing County. Duan Shuanghu believed that as long as these fortifications were fully mastered, the anti-Japanese situation in Yongqing County would be greatly improved, and even become the most stable area in the three sub-districts. Rao was mentally prepared, and Zheng Weiguo was also surprised when he saw the message.

In fact, the scale of that underground project was far larger than what Duan Shuanghu and the others were investigating. It is not only limited to Yongqing, but also the nearby Wen'an, Baxian, Gu'an, Xushui (where the Song Ansu army is stationed), Xiongxian, Anci, Langfang, Xinzhen, and Rongcheng, and the scale is extremely amazing.

Speaking of which, many people must know the Tao. This tunnel is the famous "Yongqing Underground Great Wall". Later generations found that Yongqing alone was about 65 kilometers long from east to west and about 25 kilometers wide from north to south. The total area is about 1,600 square kilometers. Verified by historians. This unusually large underground was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the general who presided over this project was probably the famous "Yang Liulang" Yang Yanzhao. For example, the tunnel of Yongqing County is only 18 kilometers away from Yukou Pass (now Xin'an Town, eastern Ba County), one of the "three passes" guarded by Yang Yanzhao.

Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients. Kilns, bowls, plates, pots and other household utensils were unearthed from the tunnels. There are also ancient weapons such as arrowheads and projectiles. Through these artifacts. It is not difficult to imagine what it was like for soldiers and civilians to guard the tunnels in those days. More than 1,000 years ago, our ancestors built such a strong, delicate and practical tunnel, how is it not amazing!

Why is such a vast national defense project not recorded in the history books? Experts estimate that there are two possibilities: one is that the project is purely a state secret (similar to the underground projects of Yue and Chu. are a hundred times stronger than the Wu Fu line of the chairman, hehe); The second is the deliberate avoidance of the official history books, which is related to the foreign policy of the historians who defended the humiliating surrender of the Song court.

Although "the official history has not been recorded", the experts still have some conclusive evidence about the ancient war road: according to the "Bazhou Chronicles" compiled in the 26th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1547 AD), it is recorded: "Yinma Cave, ruled by Yang Yanzhao, began in the state city, Tongxiong County, every time you are captured, you must go out." In addition, in the 31st year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1905 AD), the "Xiongxian New Chronicle" was compiled, and there was also a record of the Horse Cave.

From the above records, it can be seen that there is a tunnel between Xiongxian and Baxian, and it can pass through a large army. If this section of the tunnel is mastered by our army, its strategic value is self-evident. Some people may wonder, why did Yang Liulang repair this back then, did he know that the little devil was going to invade China when he was in the Northern Song Dynasty? Hehe, of course it can't be.

Historically, Shi Jingjiao, the "child emperor" of the Later Jin Dynasty, ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao State, and as a result, the Central Plains was ravaged by foreign iron horses for hundreds of years. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it also made great efforts at the beginning, but unfortunately the elite of the forbidden army were squandered by Song Taizong in the three Northern Expeditions, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals were also cast out of the shadow by the Khitans, and finally failed to recover the old land.

After that, the Liao army became even more rampant, constantly crossing the border, looting property, burning houses, capturing people, and killing the people. In the face of a strong enemy, the Northern Song Dynasty turned from offensive to defensive, and adhered to the border pass with the principle of "sticking to it, not chasing". Today's border between Yongqing and Baxian in Hebei Province is the border between Song and Liao, and it is the place where the war is most frequent. Here and the border pass town Xiongxian, Baxian, Gu'an, are all plains, there is no danger to be feared, the effective way to deal with the roaring Liao army iron cavalry, is nothing more than to build an underground passage, can be stationed soldiers, hide grain, of course, can also be used as a refuge for the people, in the words of today's people, that is, to fight "tunnel warfare", monitor the Liao army, and defend the border pass.

It's just that General Yang probably couldn't have imagined that these fortifications he presided over would be able to rejuvenate after nearly a thousand years and make new contributions to the liberation of the nation. Is this the luck of our Chinese nation, or is it sorrow? Of course, in any case, this discovery is always beneficial to our army.

After learning of these circumstances, Zheng Weiguo immediately changed his previous strategy and decided to send a few more main forces back to the north of the Daqing River, using these underground fortifications to persist in the resistance of the three divisions, weakening the strength of the Japanese army, and at the same time pinning down the enemy army, forcing it to be unable to carry out military operations west of the Zhulong River.

Just when the Jizhong Military Region was in full swing preparing for a counteroffensive, good news also came from Saibei, and after some careful planning, General Fu Zuoyi finally decided to take action against Baotou City, where the Japanese army had been entrenched for a long time. A classic rush battle is about to begin! (To be continued......)
