"Captain, you can't go any further."

Jiro Owada finally couldn't help it and quickly caught up with the captain Ken Sato.

However, Sato Ken did not stop, still holding the saber high, and asked impatiently, "Kowada-kun, is there any problem?" ”

Owada Jiro said: "Captain, these holes must be connected to the tunnels. ”

"So what?" Sato Ken said disdainfully, "These holes are already under our control, and if the Eighth Route Army comes out of these holes, it will be looking for death." ”

Owada Jiro was speechless for a moment.

Because what Takeru Sato said was completely fine.

Logically speaking, that's the way it is.

But Jiro Owada always felt that things were not so simple.

"Go back." Ken Sato snorted coldly and said, "Take your detachment with you." ”

"Hello." Owada Jiro slammed his head and returned to his infantry detachment in a gloomy manner.

After moving forward for about five hundred meters, there were only five hundred meters left from the ancestral hall outside Yunqi Town, and the uneasiness in Owada Jiro's heart was even stronger.

At this time, the unexpected finally appeared.

When one of the soldiers in the next detachment unbuttoned his pants and peed into the hole, suddenly an old elder dart poked out of the dark hole and stabbed the soldier in the lower abdomen.

Hit by this fatal blow, the soldier screamed, covered his lower body and fell to the mouth of the hole.

"Baga, there is the Eighth Route Army in the cave!" Several Japanese soldiers seen nearby roared at the same time.

At this moment, like a drop of water falling into the oil pot, hundreds of grenades were thrown out of hundreds of holes within a two-kilometer radius in front of Yunqi Town.

Hundreds of smoking grenades rolled to the feet of the Japanese soldiers.

"Grenade! Lie down! Lie down! The roar instantly rang out, but it was a junior non-commissioned officer with combat experience like Jiro Owada reminding the other recruits.

There were even non-commissioned officers who picked up mines from the ground.

But after picking up the grenade, the soldiers were stupid.

Because there are people all over them, and they don't know where to throw them?

No matter which direction you throw it, it will be thrown on the heads of your own people, and it will blow up your own people.

In a moment's astonishment, the grenade held in the air exploded, and the metal fragments that shot into all directions instantly shot the Japanese veterans into a sieve.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was bombed, the Eighth Route Army continued to poke out from the mouth of the cave.

These Eighth Route Army only poked out half of their heads from the hole, and when they saw the Japanese soldiers, they decisively raised their guns and shots, and after a shot, they were not greedy for merit, and they did not hesitate to retract into the hole.

"Yaga, Yagi-kun, there is an Eighth Route Army in the cave next to you!"

"Shigeoka-kun, there is an Eighth Route Army in the cave behind you, be careful!"

"Hirano-kun, there's the Eighth Route Army in the hole to your left, oh damn it, he's shrunk back."

"Ah, help, I was shot, I got a shot in the stomach, medics, where are the medics?"

"Baga Yalu, don't panic, aim your gun at the mouth of the hole, as long as the Eighth Route Army dares to take the lead, kill them, and aim for me at the damn tunnel mouth!"

In an instant, the entire infantry brigade was completely in disarray.

Takeru Sato's idea is very right, as long as the Eighth Route Army dares to show its head, it will inevitably not be able to escape the intensive firepower of the Japanese army.

But the problem is that there are too many crossings, there are at least five or six hundred in a two-kilometer radius, and there are many more in an area of two kilometers, endlessly.

The Japanese had no idea from which tunnel the Eighth Route Army would emerge from.

Maybe they were aiming for this, but the Eighth Route Army came out of the other one next to them.

What Sato wanted most was for the entire infantry brigade to be divided into 506 battle groups, each responsible for a tunnel opening, so that the Eighth Route Army could be shot out of each hole.

But this is wishful thinking, how can it be done in a hurry?

So the truth is that the Sato brigade fell into chaos all of a sudden.

Owada Jiro didn't mess up, but calmly raised his rifle and aimed at a hole.

This little devil's luck is quite good, there is really a Eighth Route Army poking his head out of that hole, and Owada Jiro decisively pulled the trigger and shot the Eighth Route Army in the head.

The Eighth Route Army fell crookedly at the entrance of the cave.

However, without waiting for Owada Jiro to be proud,

A grenade was thrown from the hole.

"Yaga!" Jiro Owada quickly threw himself on his side and fell to the ground.

Immediately, there was a bang, and then hot mud and sand fell down, and many of them fell into Owadaji's neck, burning his teeth.

Turning sideways to shake the mud and sand out of his neck, Owada Jiro got up again with his rifle in hand.

Soon, Owada Jiro found another hole, but just as he was about to raise his gun to aim, a shuttle of bullets suddenly shot out of the hole, and it turned out to be a submachine gun capable of bursting.

Owada Jiro had a big life, so he didn't hit him.

However, another Japanese soldier who was half-kneeling behind Jiro Owada's side and shooting was hit squarely, and immediately fell to a pool of blood holding his neck, and the shuttle bullet had pierced his neck entirely, obviously not alive.

Owada Jiro quickly lay down, climbed to the mouth of the tunnel with his elbows, and then aimed his bayonet at the hole from the side, and only waited for the Eighth Route Army to poke out his head from the hole, and then stabbed the head of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, a loud roar suddenly sounded behind him: "Xiao Wada-kun, be careful behind your back." ”

Owada Jiro instinctively lay down, and heard a crisp sound of a horn hook in his ear, and at the same time felt a heat on his left cheek, and then the whole left cheek completely lost sensation.

After falling to the ground, he touched his cheek, and saw that his hands were covered with blood.

Dare Qing had just been shot, but only in the cheek.

Now Kowada Jiro was also scared, lying on his back on the ground and didn't even dare to get up again.

Because he was worried that he would become the target of the Eighth Route Army after getting up, there were cave entrances on all sides, and Amaterasu didn't know which hole the Eighth Route Army would come out of.

Jiro Owada lay down and found that he was really safe.

Because the area directly south of Yunqi Town is not flat, but has ups and downs, and this area is also planted with crops such as buds, sweet potatoes, and wheat, so when you lie down, the view is blocked.

But this blocking is two-way, and the Eighth Route Army can't see Owada Jiro anymore.

Kowada Jiro no longer got up, and as a veteran, he sometimes had to play dead.

……

Jiro Owada was in the situation, so he couldn't see the whole picture clearly, but Yanagawa Koji, who was watching the battle from a commanding height in the distance, and the two chiefs of staff saw it very clearly.

Through the field of vision of the military binoculars, the three old devils could clearly see that the area in front of Yunqi Town was covered with a large number of tunnel entrances, no, not only this area, but also the areas on both sides were also full of such holes, not to mention thousands, even thousands!

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army was hidden at the entrance of almost every cave.

Therefore, not only is the Eighth Route Army hiding in the middle area attacking the Sato Brigade, but the Eighth Route Army hiding in the area on both sides will also drill out from the tunnel mouth from time to time to shoot cold shots.

And these Eighth Route Army were very cunning and never fired repeatedly at a tunnel entrance.

The Sato Brigade has completely fallen into the chaotic battle circle of the Eighth Route Army, and it has become a pot of porridge.

"Baga, what kind of tactics is this?" Yuji Yanagawa felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

I have lived to be over 50 years old, and I have fought for most of my life, but I have never seen such a method of warfare.

Toshihiro Asano and Koichi Akutagawa also had an eye-opening epiphany, this is a derivative tactic of tunnel warfare? Tunnel warfare can still be played in this way?

Isn't the biggest function of the tunnel to conceal itself?

How could it be that so many holes were dug and the tunnels were exposed to enemy fire?

But this is the way it works, but it actually makes the Sato brigade lose sight of one or the other, and suffers endless attacks from all directions? The Eighth Route Army is so cunning!

In the few minutes when the three old devils were stunned,

The Sato brigade is being attrition at an alarming rate.

Because the Sato brigade really can't organize an effective counterattack.

Speaking of which, the Sato Brigade has four infantry squadrons plus a heavy machine gun squadron, and there are eight Type 92 heavy machine guns alone, but they are useless in this battle.

Not only are heavy machine guns useless, but light machine guns are useless.

Instead, a machine gunner set up his machine gun and opened fire fiercely at a tunnel opening.

However, two magazines were fired at the tunnel entrance, but in the end they were blown up by a grenade thrown from the tunnel entrance, killing people and destroying the machine gun.

After a full ten minutes, Akutagawa Koichi finally reacted.

"General!" Akutagawa Hikaru paused and said, "Hurry up and let the Sato brigade withdraw." ”

Hearing this, Asano Shunsu also reacted and echoed: "Yes, it makes no sense for the Sato Brigade to continue to hold on, so let's withdraw it quickly, and if it's a little later, all the people will be martyred." ”

Yanagawa Koji hurriedly turned back to the flag soldier and said, "Hit the flag, and the Sato brigade will withdraw immediately!" ”

"Hello!" The flag soldier slammed down, and immediately ran to the front of the small dirt bag and waved the flag in front of him.

After receiving the flag from the flag soldiers, the Sato Brigade, which was struggling to support, quickly turned around and retreated.

It's just that in the process of the retreat of the Sato Brigade, the Eighth Route Army continued to drill out of the ubiquitous tunnel entrances, either shooting with rifles or blowing up with grenades, which caused great casualties to the Sato Brigade.

In the end, less than half of the Sato Brigade survived.

……

"Captain, the devil has retreated."

Lin Han glanced out, and quickly retracted back to the entrance of the cave.

"Expected." Wang Ye smiled and said, "If the devil doesn't withdraw, this brigade will all be explained." ”

"Captain, what kind of play is this?" Wei Xilai asked, "Why haven't I heard you say it before?" I've never seen you use this tactic when you're in wargames. ”

Wang Ye smiled and asked, "Have you ever played a game of marmot?" ”

"Groundhog?" Lin Han, Wei Xilai, and Duan Peng shook their heads one after another, "No." ”

"Uh......" Wang Ye reacted at this time, at this time, the game of whack-a-mole had not been launched at all, and Lin Han and they naturally couldn't know about this game, so it was in vain.

At the moment, I can only make up a joke and tell the game of whack-a-mole.

Wei Xilai scratched his head and said, "But captain, this is not right." ”

Lin Han also said: "Yes, according to what you said captain, we are groundhogs, and devils are the ones who fight groundhogs, but now it is obviously devils who are suffering?" ”

Wang Ye smiled: "That's because marmots have guns, and there are more of them." ”

"How do you fight hundreds, if not thousands, of groundhogs coming out of their burrows at the same time?"

"There's no way to fight, there's no way to win at all, so the end result can only be beaten by groundhogs in reverse."

After saying this, Wang Ye said again: "I have thought about it, the groundhog tactics and our tunnel warfare are simply a perfect match, and once the two are combined, the power will be multiplied!" This Yunqi Town, don't think about it, this road doesn't work! ”

As he spoke, the devil began to shell again, and rows of shells fell on the wilderness ahead.

It was the area where the devils were ambushed just now that became the key target of the Japanese artillery.

Wang Ye hurriedly took Lin Han and Wei Xi to withdraw to the underground shelter in the town, and it happened that Ge Dazhuang and Li Goudan also returned to the shelter in the town.

Ge Dazhuang and the others also admired Wang Ye very much.

"Director Wang, this tactic of yours is very useful."

"yes, the devil was beaten by us."

"If you want to play like this, we won't be afraid of the devil coming to the ten divisions."

"I've seen it for a long time, and I know that your regular army fights cattle, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Wang Ye waved his hand, interrupting the enthusiasm of the two, and then said: "Captain Ge, Team Li, the devils will definitely change their playing style in the future, so we have to make a prediction in advance." ”

"Director Wang, just say it, how do you fight next?" Li Goudan said, "Anyway, we listen to you." ”

Wang Ye said: "I guess the devils will try to fill the tunnel entrance next, so this time we can't let them in like the previous time, otherwise as soon as they fill the tunnel entrance, we will be blind." ”

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "So the next step is a normal firefight." ”

"However, don't worry even if it's a normal firefight, because the devils don't have that much machine-gun firepower, and they can't block all the tunnel entrances! So the basic tactics are still pretty much the same, which is to move back and forth between exits, but no longer limit the number and time of shooting, but to keep yourself as safe as possible. ”

"In addition, you can't let the devils enter the position anymore."

"So, the heavy machine gun crews are also going to take part in the battle."

"Understood!" Ge Dazhuang and Li Goudan nodded vigorously at the same time.

……

Yanagawa Koji is discussing with Akutagawa Koichi and Asano Toshihiro about how to deal with it.

Akutagawa Koichi said: "So far, there is only one way to solve it. ”

Facing the expectant eyes of Yanagawa Koji and Asano Toshihiro, Akutagawa Koichi said: "Let the sappers and the infantry advance forward, the infantry will be responsible for fire suppression, and the sappers will be responsible for filling the tunnel entrance!" ”

"Hundreds of tunnels are a bit more, but you can always fill them up with some time."

"As long as these hundreds of tunnel openings are filled, the Eighth Route Army in Yunqi Town will be the turtle in the urn."

Speaking of this, Akutagawa Koichi continued: "It's just that in this way, the goal of taking Yunqi Town by four o'clock in the afternoon requested by His Excellency the General will not be achieved. ”

"I'll explain this to Your Excellency the General." Yanagawa Koji is a bit responsible.

After a pause, he said, "Then the Kagoshima Wing will still be responsible for covering, and then the 73rd Engineer Wing will be responsible for filling in, and all the tunnel openings must be filled in as soon as possible." ”

……

After a while, the Japanese stopped shelling.

Even with hundreds of Japanese infantry, they opened the sparse skirmish line and rushed forward with bayonets.

Behind these hundreds of Japanese infantry were hundreds of Japanese sappers armed with sapper pickaxes, and these Japanese sappers were tasked with filling in the tunnels outside Yunqi Town.

This time, the Japanese army only advanced 500 meters before being blocked by the Eighth Route Army.

The hundreds of tunnel openings on the crop field in front of them drilled out the figure of the Eighth Route Army almost at the same time.

Submachine guns or pistols were used for those closest to the Japanese troops, rifles or machine guns were used for those over 200 meters but less than 500 meters, heavy machine guns were used for those between 500 meters and 1,000 meters, and mortars were used for those who were far away.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese army immediately set up crane guns and light machine guns to fire at the Eighth Route Army, and more than a dozen grenadier groups also set up grenadiers and fired rows of grenades into the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

However, whether it is a heavy machine gun, a light machine gun, or a grenadier canister, the lethal effect is not ideal.

For light and heavy machine guns and rifles such as direct firepower, the Eighth Route Army is lying at the mouth of the hole, and the bullet surface is small, so the hit rate is not high, for the curved fire such as grenadiers and mortars, because the tunnel mouth is oblique, the shells often fall above the hole, and it is difficult to fall directly into the hole, so the effect is not ideal.

So, don't look at the Japanese army's firepower is quite fierce, but the lethal effect is very poor.

On the contrary, the killing effect of the Eighth Route Army was good, because the Japanese army had no cover, they could only lie on the ground, and the bullet surface was large, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of Ge Dazhuang's regiment were all veterans, and their marksmanship was still very good.

And what made the Japanese army even more desperate was that while the two sides were exchanging fire, more and more tunnel crossings appeared in the crops ahead, and it was obvious that the Eighth Route Army was still digging more crossings! Those Eighth Route Army, who did not participate in the firefight, are going all out underground to dig the exit to the ground, and the situation is not good.

The exchange of fire lasted for more than half an hour, and the Japanese were finally defeated.

Seeing that the Japanese army was defeated again, Yanagawa Koji's nose was crooked.

However, Akutagawa Koichi thought of a better way to solve it, and said: "General, I have thought of another way, although it will take more time, but it can definitely solve the tactics of the Eighth Route Army." ”

"What tactics?" Yanagawa Koji said urgently, "Akutagawa-kun, say it quickly." ”

"Tunneling." Akutagawa Koichi said in a deep voice, "Dig a tunnel from the sortie position, advance in a broken line, dig directly in front of each tunnel entrance of the Eighth Route Army, and then carry out the landfill operation." ”
