Takeo, the devil on the mountain, is also very lucky. Just as he descended from the vast underground space to the previous tunnel, he heard a strange sound faintly in his ears. Without thinking, the devil immediately extinguished the torch, and then shrank back. He quietly hid in the drainage ditch about one meter high behind him.
Not long after Takeo hid in the drainage ditch on the mountain, a hole opened in the wall on one side of the corridor. Then, the hole became bigger and bigger, but it turned out that there was another passage there, but It had been bricked up by the Chinese before, and the surface was smeared with mud to camouflage it, so the Japanese search team did not find it.
But Takeo on the mountain hid in the drainage ditch and saw the darkness from the light, but he saw it really.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen armed men filed out of the opened passage. What was surprising was that these armed men were also wearing Japanese protective clothing and gas masks. But Takeo Yamayama was very convinced that these dozen The armed personnel are definitely not Japanese troops, because the Japanese troops will never come out from here.
No, these dozen armed men must be Chinese soldiers.
After these dozen Chinese soldiers came out, they immediately occupied both ends of the corridor. Two of them even walked to the entrance of the drainage channel and squatted down. However, they frightened Takeo on the mountain to death. Takeo on the mountain quickly and silently moved back. He took a few steps back, and when he looked again, he saw that these dozen Chinese soldiers were already aiming their guns at the wooden ladder.
Immediately afterwards, fierce gunshots rang out in the underground space above.
Then, Japanese soldiers came down the ladder, but were shot one by one by the Chinese soldiers who had been waiting at the bottom. Occasionally, those who were shot but survived were ruthlessly stabbed to death by the Chinese soldiers with bayonets. In less than a moment, the soldiers above The gunfire stopped, and then a Chinese soldier climbed down the ladder and said something to the dozen or so Chinese soldiers below. The dozen or so Chinese soldiers below began to clean the battlefield, carrying weapons, ammunition, and Japanese troops. The body is temporarily gone.
Taking advantage of the absence of the Chinese soldiers, Yamatakeo rushed out of the drainage channel, ran back along the corridor he came from, and ran back to the ground in one breath.
On the ground, Akira Muto was angry because he couldn't get through the phone at all.
Seeing Takeo climbing out of the tomb passage on the mountain, Muto Akira immediately rushed forward, grabbed him up, and asked, "What happened down there? Why didn't Matsui answer the phone?"
"Sir, it's all over." Takeo took a breath and took in everything he saw.
After Muto Akira heard this, his heart suddenly sank, and then he quickly came to Kawaguchi Heiji and made a report.
After listening to the report, Kawaguchi Heiji's thick eyebrows frowned instantly. This tunnel battle was far more difficult to crack than he imagined.
Kawaguchi Heiji said solemnly: "Judging from the fact that the search team was surrounded and annihilated, it seems that it is not feasible to launch a direct attack deep into the tunnel. The casualties will be high, and the efficiency is too low. The maximum number of troops invested each time is one Team, how long will this mopping up operation last before it ends?"
"Hai." Muto Zhangtou said, "I also think that direct attack is not a good idea."
"Then." Kawaguchi Heiji asked again, "Besides direct attack, is there any other way?"
Muto Akira was silent. He couldn't think of any good solution. This matter was indeed difficult.
"Is there really no other way?" Kawaguchi Heiji frowned, as if talking to himself, and seemed to be asking the staff around him, but no one dared to answer, because to them, Tunnel warfare is a completely new way of combat. They have not learned this in Army University.
At this moment, Shikahara Junsi said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there may be another way."
"What can I do?" Kawaguchi Heiji's eyes immediately fell on Luhara Junsi.
Lu Yuan said: "Your Excellency, Commander, according to the intelligence, there are five to six thousand residents in Meizhen. If residents of surrounding villages are included, the number will be even larger. Judging from the current situation, these people should have hid in With so many people concentrated in the tunnel, eating, drinking and defecation every day must be a problem."
Kawaguchi Heiji looked sharply and said, "You found their drainage and smoke vents?"
Five to six thousand or even tens of thousands of people live together in tunnels. They have to eat, drink, poop, and defecate every day. The excrement produced by defecating and defecating needs to be excreted through the drainage system. Eating and drinking requires boiling water for cooking. Boiling water for cooking will produce cooking smoke, which also needs to be discharged into the air through a smoke exhaust vent, otherwise it will accumulate in the tunnel and kill people.
As long as you find the drain outlet or smoke exhaust outlet, the next thing will be simple.
Find the drainage outlet and then block it, and then introduce backflow from the tunnel entrance. The tunnel will be flooded. The Chinese soldiers and Chinese people hiding in the tunnel will undoubtedly die. If they don't want to be drowned, they can only Obediently returned to the ground and had an upright decisive battle with the Japanese army.
Once you find the smoke outlet, it will be easier. You only need to pour the poisonous gas in through the smoke outlet. The Chinese soldiers and Chinese people hiding in the tunnel will immediately be poisoned and die in large numbers. Then the only thing left is to send a team. Chemical defense troops entered the tunnel to conduct autopsies on Chinese soldiers and Chinese civilians.
Luhara Junsi said: "Your Excellency, Commander, it may be difficult to find the drainage outlet, because the water only needs to provide a diagonal downward channel, and it will flow forward. The Chinese can even dig a tunnel to directly connect to the outside of the town. Meihe River, so it is difficult for us to determine the specific location of the drainage outlet."
Kawaguchi Heiji nodded in agreement and motioned for Shikahara Junsi to continue.
Luhara Junsi added: "But the smoke exhaust port is not the case, because cooking smoke is a kind of heat flow. The heat flow flows very slowly in the flat channel and will not flow down. Only by building the smoke exhaust flue upwards and high enough, Only when cooking smoke can be smoothly discharged into the atmosphere, when repairing stoves in rural areas, the smoke exhaust vents are usually built on the house to increase the vertical drop of the exhaust duct and increase the intensity of smoke exhaust."
Kawaguchi Heiji asked: "So?"
Luhara Junsi added: "Therefore, it is impossible for cooking smoke to be emitted in a centralized manner like excrement. The emission of excrement can be concentrated in more than a dozen villages, but it is impossible for cooking smoke. Cooking smoke can only be emitted nearby, and the smoke outlet It must be quite high above the ground, otherwise it will definitely lead to poor smoke exhaust.”
"Yoshi." Kawaguchi Heiji nodded happily, turned around and shouted, "Muto-san?"
"Hai." Muto Akira took a step forward and responded loudly, "What are your orders?"
Kawaguchi Heiji said: "Immediately send out a search team to search the nearby terrain at 4 hours a day. If smoke is found somewhere, report it immediately."
"Hai." Muto Zhang nodded, followed the order and turned around.
Within a moment, Muto Akira sent out several search teams to conduct comprehensive surveillance of the fields for several miles around Lizhuang. However, what made Muto Akira extremely disappointed was that until dawn the next day, until Kawaguchi Heiji Having returned to the headquarters in Meizhen, the search teams sent out found nothing.
Muto Akira, Luhara and Kawaguchi never thought that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had already solved the problem of smoke exhaust.
The solution of the Dameishan Independent Group is actually very simple, and it is worthless when it comes out. According to physics, it is impossible for hot air to flow downward, and the flow rate in gentle channels is also very slow, so it is impossible to emit concentrated smoke. However, cooking smoke The inability to centralize emissions does not mean that centralized cooking is impossible!
The solution for the Dameishan Independent Group is to focus on food production.
Choose a hidden mountain col in the mountains, first focus on cooking, and then use manpower to deliver the cooked meals into the tunnel, and then deliver them to every village through underground transportation lines extending in all directions, and deliver them to every soldier and every common person. Here, this cleverly solves the problem of emitting cooking smoke and eliminates the risk of Japanese attacks from the smoke outlet.
As for the smoke emitted in the mountains, it is impossible for the Japanese to detect it because of the mountains.
What's more, even if it is discovered, there will be no problem. At worst, we can continue to make food in another place.
The Wuto Brigade's surveillance in Lizhuang found nothing, but the next night, the search team sent to Yangcun was once again attacked by the Chinese Army Corps. Just like in Lizhuang, the Chinese Army Corps also used tunnels to quietly He appeared silently, and then suddenly launched an attack while the search team was resting.
Moreover, Yangcun's search team was even worse than Li Zhuang.
The Lizhuang search team managed to escape with more than a dozen cavalrymen, but the Yangcun search team was collectively shattered and no one had a chance to survive.
After receiving the news, Kawaguchi Heiji was so angry that he threw his kettle and immediately ordered that all the search teams sent out were withdrawn immediately, along with Muto's independent brigade.
Although he was angry inside, Kawaguchi Heiji did not lose his mind.
By this time, Kawaguchi Heiji had clearly realized that in the face of the tunnel warfare of the Chinese Army, the Japanese army did not have many options, and might even be helpless. The only countermeasure he could think of now was to mobilize engineers and fight in the vast Damei Mountain. Blasting operations were carried out in the basin and all the Chinese tunnels were blown up.
But this is just thinking about it, because it is not easy to carry out blasting operations. First, you have to determine the specific location of the tunnel. Secondly, you have to ensure the safety of the engineers. The last and most difficult part is that the cost of digging a tunnel is even higher than that of blasting a tunnel. To be cheaper, this is completely a war of attrition that outweighs the gain and loss.
Although he has not yet reached the final step, Kawaguchi Heiji can already foresee the final result of this sweep. If a miracle does not occur, this sweep operation will probably end in failure. Now Kawaguchi Heiji feels extremely struggling. One question is, should we withdraw our troops immediately
