Rise From Eight Hundred

 Chapter 105 Someone wants to play tunnel warfare

“Ogawa-kun, I didn’t hear what you just said!”

 Wakibajiro's tone was cold.

 In fact, that expression is just: I’m giving you a chance to reorganize your language.

Who knows that there are people who can be officials in this world, and there are also people who cannot be officials.

The Japanese captain hesitated for a moment, but still resisted his superior's visible lust, no, anger, and bravely reported carefully: "Your Excellency, the Wing Commander, the Wing Artillery Squadron requested to stop the bombardment. The Chinese mortars have already been launched."

Although he didn’t explain it clearly, the general idea was: Brother, our current shelling is meaningless, why don’t the Chinese even play with us?

"Captain Ogawa, when did the wing headquarters need the artillery squadron for tactical guidance?" Wakiitajiro's face was so dark that he almost caught up with the fisherman major, and his tone was like the north wind in March in the cold winter, so cold that it could almost blow away the wind. Ice slag.

The Japanese captain lowered his head, but did not dare to say another word.

No matter how he is not an official, this person can still hear the eagerness of the captain to kill someone.

 It's just that it's impossible to let him go, because he has a cannon, but it's almost out of ammunition.

“Your Excellency, Wing Commander, Captain Ogawa called half an hour ago to report that their artillery shell reserves are almost exhausted.” Lieutenant Colonel Makino Jun, who was still on the side of the wing, helped to relieve the siege.

“Then what are the baggage squadron of the wing headquarters doing? Didn’t they order them to go to the division yesterday to speed up the transportation of important baggage?” Jiro Wakibata knew the reason for this, so he simply directed his anger at the baggage squadron that was not present.

"They have set off at six o'clock. Judging from the time, it should be almost here." The Japanese lieutenant colonel, who had always been suppressed by Wakitajiro and had a very low sense of presence and could only be responsible for the logistics of baggage, reported quickly.

 He knew that his immediate boss was on the verge of losing control, and he was unwilling to become a victim of his anger.

Wakiitajiro, who tried his best to suppress his anger, stopped talking, picked up the telescope again and looked ahead for a while, then turned back to the Japanese captain who was still standing there with his head fixed and said:

"Captain Ogawa, I reiterate the military order of the wing headquarters. Before receiving the formal order to stop bombardment, your mountain artillery must fire. If there are no shells, all the officers of your Ogawa team starting from Taixiang Ogawa will be stuffed into the cannon. , **** out!”

 “Hi!” The Japanese captain lowered his head and stood at attention.

After Jiro Wakiba turned his back again and the Lieutenant Colonel waved his hand slightly, the Japanese captain with a bitter look on his face quietly exited the wing headquarters.

It doesn’t matter that the regimental commander has gone crazy. What matters is how he spends this period of time when the artillery reserve is about to be exhausted and the baggage squadron has not yet arrived.

This was exactly what happened before Tang Dao woke up, so the officers and soldiers in the warehouse felt that the Japanese artillery bombardment had become weak. It was not that the Japanese artillery wanted to herd sheep, but that the landlords had no food left.

“Makino-kun, how is the excavation of the underground tunnel that you ordered yesterday?” When the blind artillery squadron leader left, he put down the telescope in his hand, and asked Wakita Jiro, whose face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the soft soil layer in Songhu, China, is thicker. It is necessary to dig deeper into the hard soil layer to ensure sufficient support and prevent collapse. However, because Songhu has abundant rain and too much water, the division engineer wing is thinking Way to drain water." The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel reported quickly.

“However, both tunnels have now been dug forward for more than 100 meters, and the tunnel entrances are tightly hidden among residential buildings and will never be discovered by the Chinese side.”

"Yoshi! Tell them for me that if this strategy succeeds, I will ask the division commander to take credit for them!" Hearing that the engineer regiment had finally achieved something, Jiro Wakiba's face finally looked better.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang! This is the idea that the Japanese colonel discussed for a long time yesterday afternoon with a few fat grasshoppers on his vine.

Start digging a tunnel 600 meters away and continue digging to the vicinity of the warehouse. Do not send troops to attack from the tunnel, otherwise they will be killed like a whack-a-mole. Rather, the Chinese can use pre-planted explosives to blow up a building and bury an infantry squad, so why not treat them the same way they did?

 The two tunnels do not need to be very close to the building, even if they are still about 20 meters apart, 1,000 kilograms is not enough, so use 2,000 kilograms.

There is no need to work **** the solid building of Sihang Warehouse and directly destroy its foundation. The stronger the construction on the ground of Sihang Warehouse, the heavier it is and the faster it will collapse.

As for the concession opposite, the Japanese colonel, who was beaten to a black and bruised face by the Chinese defenders yesterday and was stabbed hard again at night, Ding Xiaohuahua, no longer cares so much. He only needs to ensure that his bullets and shells do not hit him. Other air waves or flying stones are no longer controllable by him.

I have to say that if it can be implemented smoothly and according to the plan, this is a very vicious trick.

Not to mention that it can collapse the Sihang Warehouse building, I am afraid that the seismic waves generated by the explosion alone can kill half of the people on the first floor.

The biggest difficulty here is not that we are afraid of being discovered by the Chinese, but that the soft soil in Songhu is a headache.

 But now it seems that the excellent civil engineering work of the Japanese army engineers has overcome this biggest problem. It is strange that Jiro Wakiba is unhappy.

During this period, the Japanese Army dared to claim the title of No. 1 in Asia, and it really wasn’t based on blind self-confidence. They had the most complete industrial system and military training system in Asia at this time. From equipment to various techniques and tactics, they were the best in the East today. Top notch.

Including seemingly inconspicuous civil engineering operations, not only the Japanese army's professional engineers, but also ordinary infantry, their performance on the battlefield is amazing.

If the battle that took place more than two years in the future, in which nearly 10,000 troops under the command of a red commander galloping on the battlefield besieged hundreds of Japanese troops and still failed to fully demonstrate the effectiveness of the Japanese army's civil engineering work, then the numbers Years later, at the Battle of Songshan Fortress in the southwest jungle, even arrogant Westerners were dumbfounded by the level of Japanese civil engineering work.

The Chinese army deployed more than 15,000 troops, while the defending Japanese army only had 1,200 troops. This was more than ten times the force comparison. Moreover, at that time, the Chinese army had far surpassed the Japanese army in terms of heavy firepower, and there were also bombers to help. It was much more powerful than the current Battle of Sihang Warehouse The comparison between China and Japan is even more disparate.

But the final outcome made the Chinese generals shed tears. Although more than 1,200 Japanese troops in the fortress were completely wiped out, and only one Japanese soldier survived by chance, the price paid by the Chinese side was 6,000 casualties. The casualty ratio reached a level that would make any commander Thirty-eight percent heartbroken.

 The Japanese army during this period was definitely China's most formidable opponent, no matter in terms of equipment, technology, tactics or fighting will.

Otherwise, China, with the same hatred of the enemy and the whole people fighting the war, also made countless sacrifices, which shattered the Japanese army's theory of quick victory and dragged the war into a long stalemate period, relying on its vast territory and huge population base for war potential. , it took nearly ten years to exhaust Japan's war potential bit by bit.

 This is the result of strategic mistakes made by Japanese high-level officials.

 This point, as the Little Butterfly Tang Dao from the future, is clearer than anyone in this era.

Facing such a formidable opponent and becoming the winner of the final battle to defend the country, the Chinese military and civilians do not know the heavy price and suffering they have to pay.

 Just like the defense battle before them, the Japanese will never accept defeat willingly.

However, it is just that the soldiers come to block the water and cover it with the earth.

The Tang Dao in the warehouse has already smelled a strong smell of conspiracy from the Japanese army through the smoke of the Japanese artillery which has weakened but is still stubborn and has not stopped.
