"Yes, Captain."

Duan Peng hurriedly whispered: "This was discovered by accident, when our reconnaissance company went south in advance to reconnoiter the enemy situation in Qingzhou City, in a forest outside the West Gate City, we accidentally discovered the entrance to that tunnel. ”。

"At that time, I thought it was just an entrance to hide grain, but I didn't expect to send a brother in and find that there was a cave. Going all the way down the tunnel, I found that the air circulation was very good. ”

Li Yunlong immediately interjected and said: "The air circulation in the tunnel means that there must be an exit from the other end. ”。

"Otherwise, the air in the tunnel is not circulated, and it will definitely be difficult to continue to go deeper into the tunnel."

Duan Peng smiled, nodded and said, "What the head of the regiment said is right. ”。

"The brother who was sent to go deep into the tunnel really groped all the way to the tunnel, and it took about ten minutes or so before he came to the exit of another tunnel."

"And, unmistakably, there is another exit from the tunnel, it must be in the city, Commander!!"

Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Wang Huaibao and others all looked happy when they heard this.

What an unexpected joy, an unexpected joy.

After hearing Duan Peng's report on the enemy situation in Qingzhou City, everyone found that even if they raided Qingzhou City, they would be blocked by the puppet army outside the moat.

Once the attack lasts too long, the devil defenders defending in the city will definitely defend immediately.

When the time comes, the raid turns into a storm.

However, with the city fortifications on the bright side of Qingzhou City, the strong attack must have suffered heavy casualties.

After all, a strong city has too many casualties in a storm.

Even if Li Yunlong concentrated all the forces of this night attack on Qingzhou City to attack the enemy army in the direction of one of the city gates, he would definitely not be able to break the city in a short time.

But now, the tunnel left by the ancestors can actually let them enter the city quietly and secretly, which is simply a stroke of genius!

"I said Duan Peng, you kid didn't tell a lie, right?"

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, asked in a low voice.

"Horn Horn Horn !!"

Duan Peng lightly slapped his heart and said, "There is absolutely no lie, is this the kind of person I Duan Peng?" ”。

Seeing this, everyone realized that what Duan Peng said was really not false.

In this way, the melancholy of how to break the city was eliminated at once.

Sure enough, Li Yunlong waved his hand and laughed in a low voice: "Duan Peng, lead the way, let's take a detour to the dense forest outside Ximen City." ”。

"Fast !!"

Duan Peng immediately said, "Yes, head of the regiment!! ”。

Everyone did not hesitate, and immediately followed Duan Peng back to the dense forest outside the west gate of Qingzhou City.

The movement of large forces, of course, is a cautious and quiet operation.

Therefore, Li Yunlong commanded the night attack troops to carefully follow Duan Peng's guidance, and it took about fifteen minutes to detour to the dense forest outside the west gate of Qingzhou City before almost half past two in the morning.

Rushing to the dense forest outside the West Gate City, Li Yunlong asked the troops to rest on the spot.

And he, together with Zhang Dabiao and others, carefully touched the edge of the dense forest, picked up the telescope and squatted down to observe the west gate of Qingzhou City.

I saw that in the vague middle of the city, on the west gate of Qingzhou City, two searchlights were constantly searching outside the city.

Although the dense forest hidden by Li Yunlong and others was more than 800 meters away from the West Gate, with the help of the telescope, they could still see the devil searchlight at the head of the West Gate constantly searching back and forth outside the city at night.

"Damn, the little devil is really extravagant, and the little Qingzhou City has a searchlight."

Li Yunlong complained.

"Commander, the secret passage is behind one side!"

At this time, Duan Peng said in a low voice, and pointed to a hill ramp to the right of the place where everyone was standing.

"Let's go!!"

After observing the situation at the west gate of Qingzhou City and outside the city for a while, but the black lights were blinding, and the puppet army on the periphery of the moat was guarding the position, which could not be seen through the telescope, and could only be observed at close range after approaching.

Now everyone is at the edge of the dense forest, and they only see the devil's searchlight at the head of the West Gate looking back and forth outside the city.

Soon, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Wang Huaibao and others followed Duan Peng and walked to the bottom of a small hill less than 30 meters away on the right.

This small hill is probably less than 10 meters above sea level.

In the dense forest, there are probably small slopes at these altitudes, but they are not large.

I saw Duan Peng guide Li Yunlong and the others to a place with many trees and shrubs under this small hillside, and then pulled it open, and under the bright light of the moonlight, a tunnel mouth two meters high and about two meters five wide appeared in front of everyone.

"Hiss!!"

Li Yunlong also gasped after seeing this tunnel entrance, such an tunnel entrance, just a straight line distance leading to the West Gate City, must be more than eight hundred meters away.

But it's impossible, the tunnels are definitely winding.

"This tunnel mouth is so big, it shows that this is roughly the tunnel excavated in the Ming Dynasty, and it should be an escape tunnel secretly excavated by a large family in the city, and the amount of work is not something that ordinary people can secretly excavate."

Li Yunlong said in a low voice.

Zhang Dabiao and others nodded secretly, the scale of such a tunnel mouth shows that the amount of work in the tunnel is indeed very large.

There are only large families in ancient times, and it is estimated that it may be a tunnel secretly dug by the squires in the city in ancient times, or nobles or something, as an escape.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that this tunnel was still so well preserved.

"Leader, the tunnel excavated by the ancestors has not collapsed and flooded until now, which shows that the technology of digging underground passages in ancient times is very good!"

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, couldn't help but praise and said in a low voice.

"Hmm!"

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement, and then asked Duan Peng in a low voice, "Duan Peng, is the authentic air circulation really good?" ”。

"Indeed, Captain."

Duan Peng said in a low voice with a serious expression: "Even if you enter the city through the tunnel all the time, the oxygen inside is enough. ”。

"The brother who was sent in to investigate before said that the other exit of the tunnel seems to be in an abandoned ancient temple in the city, probably a small courtyard behind the kitchen of the ancient temple in the city, and that courtyard is very hidden."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he glanced at the tunnel entrance again, and then squatted down with everyone.

"Monk, map!!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and whispered to Wei Dayong, who was carrying a backpack.

Monk Wei Dayong nodded secretly, and immediately took out a map of Qingzhou City from his backpack, which was captured from the Japanese army headquarters of Bantian Wing stationed in Ping'an County.

"Judging from the map of Qingzhou City surveyed and mapped by this kind of devil, the ancient temples and temples in Ximen City have been abandoned for a long time, and it is estimated that they have been abandoned for more than 70 years."

Li Yunlong looked at the abandoned ancient temple in the West Gate City on the map of Qingzhou City, the location was very good, suitable for the large army to enter the city, and the devils in the city were unlikely to find the movement caused by the large army.

Li Yunlong immediately said to everyone: "Order the troops, immediately enter the city from the tunnel, and Duan Peng will guide in front." ”。

"The place where we settled is secretly assembled in the abandoned ancient temple in Ximen City!"
