Chapter 377: Smothering
Dong Ku did not know that his hard work and the Nanjing Massacre were still possible, and after a sumptuous dinner, the warehouse fell silent surrounded by Japanese troops.
After eating dinner, Dong Ku thought about it and asked No. 8 to take out the flag that had been prepared for a long time and hand it to Xie Jinyuan.
After a long talk, although Xie Jinyuan did not know where the Ludao army had arrived, he believed that with the combat effectiveness of the advance army and their advanced weapons, it would not be difficult to recapture Shanghai, after all, the advance army alone recaptured Heilongjiang without logistical supplies, and resisted the counterattack of the Japanese army. Besides, once the advance army starts a fierce battle, Gu Zhu and other commanders will naturally not let go of the opportunity and will definitely participate in the battle, so that there will be no pressure to recapture Shanghai.
Based on these, he was not only not surprised when he saw the flag that Dong Ku took out, but also very excited, he didn't care about being the focus at this time, and he was able to fight side by side with the advance army and participate in the battle to recapture Shanghai, then, this is a great honor.
The sky is gradually getting brighter.
In the concession, all the people's hearts were tugging, and they didn't know what the reaction would be next if the Japanese army was blocked several times, so after a quiet night, early in the morning, some people came to the bank of the Suzhou Creek to cheer for the defenders.
Just as they were standing on the riverbank, they suddenly shouted that the national flag had been raised in the Sixing warehouse.
In this world full of sun flags, this national flag flying in the wind is undoubtedly a dazzling star, which means that Shanghai has not yet fallen, it is still in the hands of the Chinese people, and there are still troops of political axes.
The news immediately spread wildly, and in less than half an hour, the riverbank was once again crowded with people. With tears in their eyes, they looked at the flags fluttering in the wind and prayed for the blessings of the defenders.
Flags were raised in warehouses, and this was a provocation. Provocation to the Japanese. However, contrary to Dong Ku's expectations, the Japanese army did not launch an attack on the Sixing warehouse, except for the re-stationing of two brigades and regiments, which blocked all the already empty streets within the combat area and filled them with people.
"That's right! How many troops the Japanese lost yesterday is unknown. But when you see the national flag raised, how can you be so calm when you stand full? ”
Xie Jinyuan put down the binoculars on the second floor and said suspiciously.
Dong Ku also put down the binoculars, looked at the soldiers who were waiting for the Japanese army to attack, smiled and said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, the Japanese are so calm, they have already told us that they are going to play yin." ”
"Playing yin?"
Xie Jinyuan turned his head to look at Leyan Dong Ku, waiting for Dong Ku's next step.
Dong Ku didn't answer right away. took out the walkie-talkie that Xie Jinyuan was envious of and shouted: "I am Zero, the Japanese army has not attacked, check what is abnormal!" ”
There was a voice of command on the walkie-talkie, and there was silence.
Dong Ku looked at the ruins in the distance and waited quietly.
Xie Jinyuan was envious, withdrew his gaze from the walkie-talkie, and also stood there waiting for the result.
Ten minutes later, the light on the walkie-talkie came on.
"Report Zero. The Japanese army in Area 3 was under martial law, and no anomalies were found. ”
"Martial law in Area 4. No anomalous ...... found"
Several reports in a row were all under martial law, but no abnormalities were found.
That's weird, what are the Japanese going to do?
Dong Ku frowned, unable to understand what the Japanese were going to do.
Poison gas, guarding the concession. Guarding Britain and the United States and other countries, little Japan will not dare to use it no matter how bold it is
You don't need to be gassed, don't you......
Dong Ku's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a possibility. The Japanese army attacked by digging tunnels, which is definitely the case.
"Hawkeye. Look within three hundred meters of the warehouse to see if anything is out of the ordinary. ”
Before Dong Ku's words fell, a report came from the walkie-talkie.
"Hawkeye reports that the Japanese army has set up a position in the direction of you at eleven o'clock, and has entered a relatively intact residence with sappers."
Really......
Dong Ku confirmed his guess and asked, "How far is it from the warehouse?" ”
"The location where they built the position is more than 700 meters away from the warehouse, but the dwellings in that area are next to each other, and I can't see the situation in the dwellings from here, Hawkeye speculates that this distance will not be the location of the excavation, too far, please refer to the captain."
There are a lot of small samples......
Dong Ku pondered, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of Hawkeye.
Sure enough, it was a relatively intact residential complex, with adjacent courtyards and adjacent ridges, and it was obvious that the Japanese troops had entered the houses from a long distance, opened through the walls, and approached the warehouses before starting to excavate. And the nearest one in this house is less than 100 meters, at best it is sixty or seventy meters.
"General Xie, the Japanese army is digging tunnels, but I don't know how long the tunnels have been digging, maybe they are already close."
"Digging tunnels?!"
Xie Jinyuan was taken aback. This is troublesome, once you dig nearby, you don't have to worry about them attacking, if you are security explosives, I'm afraid something will happen.
But how to solve it is a problem, I dig underground, how do they defend on the ground?
After Dong Ku finished speaking, while the thoughts in Xie Jinyuan's mind were turning, he picked up the walkie-talkie again and said, "Is there any movement on Mole No. 1?" ”
In the walkie-talkie, at the moment when Dong Ku's voice fell, a voice sounded in the squeaky noise.
"Report to the captain, everything is normal at the moment!"
Although he got a normal report, Dong Ku was still not at ease, he thought about it and walked to the staircase and shouted: "Excavation team!" ”
Dong Ku's words fell, and more than a dozen people quickly stood up among the Huya soldiers lying there waiting for the Japanese attack, and Yuan Sihai roared loudly: "One person in the excavation team was injured, and eleven people reported, please instruct!" ”
"The excavation team listens to orders!"
Dong Ku ordered: "The possible direction of the Japanese army's excavation is eleven o'clock, the excavation time is unknown, the progress is unknown, and the excavation team is prepared in advance!" ”
"Yes!"
Yuan Sihai shouted the order, quickly jumped out of the telescope to the shooting port, carefully observed the situation at eleven o'clock, turned around and waved a few gestures, the team members quickly handed over the guns to the sword wind teammates next to them, carrying backpacks, carrying an original colored canvas bag, quietly opened the door, and left the warehouse by the sandbag bunker more than one meter high in front of the door.
Xie Jinyuan was very curious, and he didn't know what the road excavation team was going to do, but he guessed that it should be digging tunnels.
After Yuan Sihai left the warehouse, he looked at it in a position, then squatted down, lifted the canvas bag and opened it, took out a few strips from the top and inserted them on the canvas between the two rings of the canvas bag, and a simple earthen basket revealed its true face, and then, the sapper shovel hanging from his waist took out the cloth bag and opened it, half-kneeling, and quickly dug up.
In the warehouse, Dong Ku and Xie Jinyuan stood not far from the door, waiting quietly, waiting for news from the tunneling team.
At this moment, Dong Ku's walkie-talkie light turned on.
"The mole reported that there was a sound of excavation at eleven o'clock, forty meters from the warehouse, six degrees from the position of the excavation group, and according to the speed, it could be crossed after twenty meters."
Really......
Dong Ku smiled when he heard the report, and he replied: "Zero received, the call is over." ”
Without waiting for Xie Jinyuan to ask, he shouted again with a walkie-talkie: "Excavation group, according to your current speed, parallel to the other party after twenty meters, correct the six degrees can be crossed, I order, speed up the tunneling speed, cross the position of twenty meters, reach forty meters and communicate with the other party, and implement Plan A!" ”
Yuan Sihai heard the command and whispered in the cave to receive the order.
In the cave, the Japanese army sweated like rain, several people took turns in shifts, rapid excavation, the dug down soil was replaced by the soldiers lined up behind them one by one, the way of the relay race was transported to the rear, under the light of the flashlight, very professional.
In a house facing the street a few dozen meters away, baskets of soil were handed out of the house, and then they were passed to the back, and one was carried to the next courtyard, where it was dumped in the open courtyard.
And outside this room, a dozen boxes were stacked, apparently, a bundle of wire and detonator were lowered to the top of the box. Obviously, this is the explosives that are ready to blow up the warehouse.
Time passes slowly in their constant transmission. The people who carried the soil in the courtyard gradually entered the inside, and the tunnel stretched forward steadily, and everything was silent.
In the distance, thousands of meters away, a gate of mortars has been transported to the place sheltered by the ruins, just waiting for the explosion to arrive, tearing open the collapsed position with artillery fire, so as to facilitate the attack of the army.
Ito Masaki didn't dare to approach the front line this time, and he waited for news in the headquarters in Hongkou. Heart, when the bang comes, the Sixing Warehouse will no longer be able to hold on.
The Japanese soldiers who were digging did not know what to do, and at the position of five or six meters parallel to them, a cave was digging much faster than them, and it had already exceeded the farthest point they had excavated by fifteen or sixteen meters.
They didn't know what to do, and the cave had begun to pour slowly, gradually moving closer to their cave.
Yuan Sihai quickly excavated with a sharp sapper shell, careful to avoid touching the stones, and after reaching the depth of the excavation, he adjusted and quickly dug into the cave dug by the Japanese army.
The Japanese army needed to use a blower to blow oxygen in the passage, unlike Yuan Sihai, who carried a small tank of oxygen cylinders, and in the tunnel, the sound of the motor turning could be heard from a long distance.
Yuan Sihai had already heard that the cave was in front of him, the speed of the excavation slowed down, and the shovel head was slowly pressed down, carefully picking off the soil and passing it to the rear.
As he excavated, he felt the vibration of the motor, and he quietly replaced it with a small shovel, which slowly buckled on the cave wall, and then a faint light came through.
Yuan Sihai took the gas bomb handed by his teammates back, and as soon as he used his hand, a ball of light immediately revealed, and then, the gas bomb in his hand was stuffed over.
A Japanese soldier who was on the map of Lanzi suddenly saw a movement on the wall of the cave, and dropped the excitation soil, he thought it was a loose layer, and just about to check, a hole abruptly came out, and then, an object flew in, and then, thick smoke rose.
"Poison gas !!!"
He screamed in horror, but in an instant, snot and tears flowed down his nose, and he coughed violently...... (To be continued......)
