"Hai." Owata Jiro paused, and returned to his infantry unit in despair.

After walking about 500 meters further, only 500 meters away from the ancestral hall outside Yunqi Town, the uneasiness in Jiro Owada's heart became even stronger.

At this time, the accident finally appeared.

When a soldier from the next team unbuttoned his trousers to urinate into the hole, suddenly an old elder's long spear protruded from the dark hole, piercing the soldier's lower abdomen.

Suffering from this fatal injury, the soldier let out a yelp, clutched his lower body and fell to the entrance of the cave.

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

This time, like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, hundreds of grenades were simultaneously thrown out of hundreds of cave openings within a radius of two kilometers in front of Yunqi Town.

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

"Grenade! Lie down! Lie down quickly!" The roar rang out in an instant, but it was a grassroots non-commissioned officer like Owada Jiro who had combat experience reminding other recruits.

There are even non-commissioned officers who pick up mines from the ground.

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

Because there are their people in all directions, 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 such a daze, the grenade held in the air exploded, and the metal fragments shot all around instantly shot the Japanese veterans into sieves.

While the Japanese army was blown to pieces, the Eighth Route Army continued to protrude from the entrance of the cave.

The Eighth Route Army just poked out half of their heads from the entrance of the cave. When they saw the Japanese soldiers, they raised their guns and fired decisively.

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

"Mr. Zhonggang, there is an Eighth Route Army in the cave behind you, be careful!"

"Mr. Hirano, there is the Eighth Route Army in the hole on your left, oh, damn it, he retracted again."

"Ah, help, I've been shot, I've been shot in the stomach, medic, where's the medic?"

"Bagayalu, don't panic, point your gun at the entrance of the tunnel, as long as the Eighth Route Army dares to show their heads, they will kill them, and aim at the damn tunnel entrance for me!"

In an instant, the entire infantry brigade was in complete chaos.

Sato Takeru's idea is very correct. As long as the Eighth Route Army dares to show its head, it will inevitably be unable to escape the intensive firepower of the Japanese army.

But the problem is that there are too many tunnel crossings. There are at least five or six hundred tunnels within a two-kilometer radius.

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

Maybe they aimed at this one, but the Eighth Route Army got out from the other side.

The result Sato Takeru wanted most was that the entire infantry brigade could be divided into five hundred and six battle groups, and each group was responsible for a tunnel entrance, so as to ensure that the Eighth Route Army that came out of each hole could be shot and killed.

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

So the real situation is that the Sato Brigade fell into chaos all of a sudden.

Owada Jiro did not panic, but calmly raised his rifle and aimed at a hole.

This little devil was very lucky. An Eighth Route Army really poked its head out of the hole. Owada Jiro pulled the trigger decisively and shot the Eighth Route Army in the head.

The Eighth Route Army collapsed at the entrance of the cave.

However, before Owada Jiro could be proud,

A grenade was thrown out of the hole.

"Baga!" Owada Jiro quickly fell on his side and fell to the ground.

Immediately there was a bang, followed by hot sand falling down, a lot of it fell into Owada Ci's neck, making him grin his teeth.

Turning sideways to shake the sand from his neck, Owada Jiro stood up again with the rifle in his hand.

Soon, Owada Jiro found another hole, but when he was about to raise his gun to aim, a shuttle of bullets suddenly shot out from the hole, and he used a submachine gun capable of bursting fire.

Owada Jiro was so fateful that he didn't hit him.

However, another Japanese soldier who was half kneeling behind Owata Jiro's side and shooting was shot straight, and immediately fell into a pool of blood while clutching his neck. alive.

Owada Jiro quickly lay down, climbed to the entrance of the tunnel quickly on his elbows, and then pointed the bayonet at the hole from the side, and waited for the Eighth Route Army to poke out its head from the hole, and then stabbed Eighth Route Army in the head.

At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded from behind: "Mr. Owada, watch your back."

Owada Jiro lay down instinctively, and there was a crisp sound of a hook in his ears, and at the same time he felt a heat on his left cheek, and then he completely lost consciousness on his entire left cheek.

After falling to the ground, I touched my cheek and saw that my hand was covered with blood.

Ganqing was shot just now, but only hit him in the cheek.

Now Owada Jiro was also afraid, he lay on his back and didn't even dare to get up again.

Because he was worried that he would become the target of the Eighth Route Army when he stood up. There were caves in all directions, and God Amaterasu didn't even know which hole the Eighth Route Army would emerge from.

Owada Jiro 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 full of corn, sweet potatoes, wheat and other crops, so when you lie down, your vision will be blocked.

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

Owada Jiro stopped getting up. As a veteran, sometimes he had to pretend to be dead.

……

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

Through the field of vision of military binoculars, the three old devils can clearly see that the area in front of Yunqi Town is actually covered with a large number of tunnel entrances, no, not only this area, but also the areas on both sides There are at least a thousand or even thousands of cave entrances!

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army is hidden in almost every cave entrance.

Therefore, not only the Eighth Route Army hiding in the middle area is attacking the Sato brigade, but the Eighth Route Army hiding in the areas on both sides will also come out of the tunnel from time to time to shoot coldly.

Moreover, these Eighth Route Army are very cunning and never shoot repeatedly at a tunnel crossing.

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

"Yaga, what kind of tactics is this?" Yanagawa Kouji felt that his brain was not enough.

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

Asano Toshihiro and Akutagawa Koichi also had an eye-opening epiphany. Is this a derivative method of tunnel warfare?Tunnel warfare can still be played like this?

Isn't the biggest function of tunnels to conceal themselves?

How can there be so many holes dug like this, exposing the tunnel to the enemy's firepower?

But it was just such a way of doing things, but it actually caused the Sato brigade to lose sight of one thing and suffer endless attacks from all directions?The Eighth Route Army is so cunning!

During the few minutes when the three old devils were in a daze,

The Sato Brigade is being downsized at an alarming rate.

Because the Sato Brigade really couldn't organize an effective counterattack.

Speaking of which, the Sato brigade has four infantry squadrons plus one heavy machine gun squadron. There are eight Type [-] heavy machine guns alone, but they are useless in this battle.

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

Instead, a machine gunner set up his machine gun and fired violently at a tunnel entrance.

However, two magazines were fired at the entrance of the tunnel, but in the end they were blown up by a grenade thrown from the entrance of the tunnel. People were killed and the machine gun was also blown up.

After a full 10 minutes, Akutagawa Koichi finally reacted.

"General!" Akutagawa Hikaru paused and said, "Let the Sato Brigade withdraw quickly."

Hearing this, Toshiyuki Asano also reacted, and echoed: "Yes, it is meaningless for the Sato Brigade to continue to persevere. It is better to withdraw quickly, and all members will die for the country a moment later."

Yanagawa Xingji hurriedly turned his head and said to the semaphore soldier: "Sign the semaphore, the Sato Brigade will withdraw immediately!"

"Hayi!" The semaphore soldier gave a sudden pause, and immediately ran to the front of the small soil bag and played the semaphore facing forward.

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

It's just that during the retreat of Sato's Brigade, the Eighth Route Army continued to come out of tunnels everywhere, or shot with rifles, or exploded with grenades, causing great damage to Sato's Brigade.

In the end, less than half of the Sato brigade survived and escaped back alive.

……

"Captain, the devils have retreated."

Lin Han probed out for a look, then quickly retracted to the entrance of the cave.

"It's expected." Wang Ye smiled and said, "If the devils don't withdraw, this brigade will all be confessed."

"Captain, what kind of style of play is this?" Wei Xilai asked, "Why have you never heard of it before? I have never seen you use this style of warfare during war games."

Wang Ye asked with a smile, "Have you ever played whack-a-mole?"

"Shooting groundhogs?" Lin Han, Wei Xilai, Duan Peng and others shook their heads, "No."

"Uh..." Only then did Wang Ye realize that the whack-a-mole game hadn't been released yet, so it was impossible for Lin Han and the others to know about the game, so it was useless to talk about it.

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

Wei Xilai scratched his head and said, "But captain, that's not right."

Lin Han also said: "Yes, according to what you said, captain, we are the groundhogs, and the devils are the ones who hunt the groundhogs, but the devils are the ones who suffer the most?"

Wang Ye laughed and said, "That's because groundhogs have guns, and there are more of them."

"How do you fight when hundreds or even thousands of groundhogs come out of their burrows at the same time?"

"There is no way to fight at all, it is impossible to fight at all, so the end result can only be beaten by the groundhog in turn."

After this pause, Wang Ye said again: "I've thought about it, the groundhog tactics are a perfect match for our tunnel warfare. When the two are combined, the power will be multiplied! In this Yunqi town, the devil is another After thinking about it, this way is not going to work!"

While talking, the devils started shelling again, and rows of shells fell on the wilderness ahead.

The area where the devils were ambushed just now became the key target of the Japanese artillery.

Wang Ye quickly took Lin Han and Wei Xilai back to the town's underground shelter, just as Ge Dazhuang and Li Goudan also returned to the town's shelter.

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

"Director Wang, your tactics are very useful."

"Yeah, the devil was beaten to the ground by us."

"According to this way of fighting, we won't be afraid of the devils coming to ten divisions."

"I've gained a lot of knowledge. I know that your regular army fights well, but I didn't expect to be able to do so well."

Wang Ye waved his hand, interrupting the two people's enthusiasm, and then said: "Captain Ge, Captain Li, the Devils will definitely change their style of play in the future, so we have to make a prediction in advance."

"Director Wang, tell me what to do next?" Li Goudan said, "Anyway, we listen to you."

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

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "So what follows is a normal exchange of fire."

"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 the same, that is, to move back and forth between the various exits, but there is no longer a limit on the number of shots. and time, but try to keep yourself safe as much as possible.”

"In addition, the devils cannot be allowed to enter the position again."

"So, all the heavy machine gun groups will also participate in the battle."

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

……

Yanagawa Kouji is discussing countermeasures with Akutagawa Koichi and Asano Toshihiro.

Akutagawa Koichi said: "At this point, there is only one solution."

Faced with the expectant eyes of Yanagawa Kouji and Asano Toshihiro, Akutagawa Koichi said: "Let the engineers cooperate with the infantry to advance forward, the infantry will be responsible for suppressing firepower, and the engineers will be responsible for filling the tunnel crossing!"

"Hundreds of tunnel crossings are too many, but it can always be filled in with some time."

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

Speaking of this, Akutagawa Koichi went on to say: "It's just that in this way, the goal of taking down Yunqi Town before four o'clock in the afternoon requested by the General will not be achieved."

"I'll explain this to Your Excellency the General." Yanagawa Kouji was somewhat responsible.

After a pause, he continued: "Then the Kagoshima Regiment will still be responsible for the cover, and the 73rd Engineer Regiment will be responsible for the landfill. We must fill up all the tunnel entrances as soon as possible."
