Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

32 Promote new tunnels and go out for reconnaissance

"Captain, do you want to organize an attack immediately to retake Hill 012?"

A Japanese officer stood up and said.

"Baga, idiot.

The best chance for counterattack last night failed.

Now the Chinese army has gained a firm foothold there, unless our heavy artillery brigade bombards it again.

Or let our bomber group come over and bomb it again.

Otherwise, how many soldiers do you plan to let us lose before we capture this high ground?"

The Japanese regiment commander, Sodeki Shintao, looked at his subordinate like a fool.

If the Japanese did not have heavy artillery units and the help of their bomber groups, their ability to attack would be greatly reduced.

However, with Sodeki Shinto's status as a mere regiment commander at that time, how could he possibly mobilize their heavy artillery brigade?

Not to mention those arrogant bomber units.

Another reason was that Sodeki Shinto was worried that if they counterattacked position No. 3 at this time.

The noise was too loud and the division commander would know that they had lost Hill 012.

It's not good for him.

“The division commander will call and ask why we heard gunfire last night.

The reply was that it was a sneak attack by the Chinese army.

Now we have repelled the Chinese army's sneak attack.

We must not let the division commander know that we have lost Hill 012."

The Japanese regiment commander, Sodeki Shinto, gave instructions to the Japanese officers in the regiment headquarters.

"This……"

The other Japanese officers also hesitated after hearing what Sodeki Shinto said.

After all, if one were to be held accountable for lying about military intelligence, the crime would be a very serious one.

"Baga, you idiots.

Now if the division commander knew that we had lost Hill 012.

There will be no other outcome except being punished.

The general offensive is about to begin. How can we cause trouble for the division commander at this time?

As long as we recapture Hill 012 as soon as the general offensive begins in two days.

As long as we don't delay the division commander's general offensive plan, everything will be fine."

The Japanese regiment commander also wanted to pursue his own career.

This guy is about to be promoted, and before the promotion, he doesn't want to fail in the promotion because of making mistakes.

Therefore, this stain must not appear at this time.

"Hi!"

Faced with Sodeki Shinto's coercion, these Japanese officers had no choice but to obey.

Not long after, the Japanese division headquarters sent a telegram asking what was going on with the gunfire they heard last night.

He was also fooled by Sodeki Shinto.

After daybreak, everything was peaceful at position No. 3.

The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side seemed to be unaware that the No. 3 position had been captured by Ye Qingshan and his men.

There was no further attack.

"Damn it, this is weird.

What happened to the devils on the opposite side?

We recaptured position No. 3 overnight, and the Japanese launched a counterattack last night.

After we repelled them, there was no movement?

They should not have sent out bombers and heavy artillery to bombard our positions after daybreak.

Then will you send more troops to fight with us repeatedly for position No. 3?

The Japs don't play by the rules."

At the machine gun position of position No. 3, Lu Dahai looked at the crowded Japanese soldiers on the opposite side with a puzzled look on his face, and said to Zheng Quezi, Lao Dong and others.

"What's the matter? You're hoping that the Japanese will attack us like crazy, right?"

Zheng Quezi was half lying in the trench, fiddling with his military boots. He looked up at Lu Dahai and said.

"That's right, isn't it better if the Japanese don't attack?"

The boss also echoed.

“You guys, otherwise I’d be the company commander and you’d only be the platoon leaders.

You have to think about it.

Isn't it very abnormal for the Japanese to do this?

The battalion commander often said that if something was unusual, there must be something fishy going on.

Isn't this abnormal now? There must be something fishy going on."

Lu Dahai looked disappointed and said to Zheng Quezi and others.

“You are now the company deputy.

The company commander is my brother-in-law."

Zheng Quezi didn't even raise his head and didn't forget to provoke Lu Dahai.

"Bullshit, if I hadn't given the position to Zhou Pingkou, would he have been able to become the official?

Even if I am the deputy, I am still your superior."

As expected, Lu Dahai was irritated by Zheng Quezi's words and yelled at him.

"Also, he didn't agree to be your brother-in-law.

You are just wishful thinking."

Lu Dahai did not forget to fight back.

"Sooner or later."

Zheng Quezi didn't get angry. He put on the repaired Japanese military rank again and tried it out. It felt much better.

"Captain, I remember what the battalion commander said, that's not what he said.

It should be that when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on, not ghosts. "

At this time, Old Dong reminded Lu Dahai.

"Get lost, there's nothing to talk about with you two idiots,

I'll talk to the battalion commander."

Lu Dahai left angrily.

He felt that Zheng Quezi and Lao Dong didn't understand him at all.

Talking about this with these two people is no different from playing the lute to a donkey.

"Hey, why are you leaving?

He is really very aggressive. "

Zheng Quezi and Lao Dong looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Soon, Lu Dahai found Ye Qingshan and told him about this matter.

"Well, Dahai, you are right.

There is something wrong with the devils on the other side. "

"Yeah.

I told you, that dead cripple and Old Dong just don’t understand.

They are all a bunch of idiots.”

"Then Captain, what should we do?"

"Then withdraw all the troops on guard at the front line.

Just leave one squad on guard.

You take the others with you and help Daniu and the others dig a tunnel."

"Ah! Digging a tunnel?

Still digging."

Lu Dahai looked unhappy. He had dug a tunnel for more than two hours last night and his arms were numb from exhaustion.

“Yeah, the devils didn’t react.

Why are there so many people left on the front line? They are here to bask in the sun.

All of them, go dig tunnels for me."

Ye Qingshan said unhappily.

"Yes!"

Lu Dahai saluted and left in frustration.

Ye Qingshan was obsessed with renovating the original tunnel at the No. 3 position.

Lu Dahai and others never understood.

But at this time, Ye Qingshan’s prestige in the Third Company was already high enough.

Lu Dahai did not dare to disobey Ye Qingshan's orders.

However, after Lu Dahai left, Ye Qingshan raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Japanese position opposite.

“When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on, and the sea can sense it.

The Japanese on the opposite side suffered such a great loss, but they endured it.

It looks like the Japanese will soon launch a larger-scale attack.

We need to speed up the excavation of the tunnel at position No. 3.

Not only the No. 3 position, but also the tunnels in other positions need to be improved."

Immediately, Ye Qingshan called over the company commanders of the first and second companies, Li Tianhan and Sun Taidong.

"battalion commander."

The two of them came to position No. 3 again and behaved well in front of Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan fought a battle last night and easily recaptured position No. 3 from the Japanese.

This also made the two of them admire him very much.

In fact, the two of them still haven't figured out how Ye Qingshan managed to recapture position No. 3 so quickly last night.

"Let Captain Zhou and the others come over, and we'll have a meeting."

Soon, Ye Qingshan and his company and platoon leaders sat in the tunnel.

A brief meeting was held.

After the meeting started, the three company commanders were all curious about Ye Qingshan’s fighting style in last night’s battle.

Then Ye Qingshan also told them.

"This……"

I heard that Ye Qingshan led the reconnaissance squad and lurked in front of the Japanese position for more than an hour, slowly approaching the Japanese position.

Then, he rushed into the Japanese trenches alone and eliminated the sentries at the Japanese front line.

They were also stunned.

Is this a human being? This must be the God of War.

"Captain, you are kidding me, right?"

Sun Taidong asked with an awkward smile.

They thought Ye Qingshan was joking with them.

"Nonsense, this is a meeting, of course everything I tell you is true."

“Yes, I just followed the battalion commander.

You feel it is not real because you are not strong enough."

The black bear who participated in the meeting said with a buzzing voice.

"Captain, is this the special operations method you often mentioned before?"

Only Zhou Pingkou asked with a serious face.

"That's it."

Li Tianhan and Sun Taidong looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's hearts.

Our battalion commander is truly a god!

They had never heard of special operations.

After all, they went to military school, so why do they feel like country bumpkins?

At the same time, they were also thankful in their hearts that they did not go against Ye Qingshan before.

“Okay, this matter is over.

Next, I will talk about our camp’s plan for the future.

I plan to take the Black Bear reconnaissance team out for a trip.

Scout the enemy.

The actions of the devils on the other side are indeed somewhat suspicious.

I suspect the Japs are planning a major attack, and I need more intelligence."

Ye Qingshan told about his next plan.

"Captain, are you going to lead the people out yourself?"

Li Tianhan was just about to ask if it was too dangerous.

Then, he remembered what Ye Qingshan had said just now, about how he had charged into the Japanese trenches alone last night.

He didn't say this out loud.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Qingshan continued: "After I leave, you will each take care of your own positions.

Captain Zhou, please take over my position temporarily and command the overall situation."

Ye Qingshan also looked at Li Tianhan and Sun Taidong specifically.

After all, it stands to reason that the company commander Li Tianhan should be the officer who temporarily takes over Ye Qingshan's position after he leaves.

However, this time neither of them objected.

After all, Zhou Pingkou is Ye Qingshan's confidant, and the two of them know that they are still a little distant from Ye Qingshan.

There is no need to fight for this position.

“Also, after you two go back.

According to my tunnel map, improve the tunnels in your position."

Ye Qingshan handed a tunnel map to Li Tianhan and Sun Taidong and said to them.

"Battalion Commander, the tunnels in our position have been well-developed.

I don't think there's any need to improve it further.

The soldiers are already very tired, they need rest even more. "

This time, Li Tianhan finally couldn't help but speak.

He felt that Ye Qingshan was meddling too much. They knew as much about tunnels as he did.

I need your guidance.

To be honest, in Li Tianhan's view, Ye Qingshan's behavior was questioning their professionalism.

As a result, just as he finished speaking, he was pulled by Sun Taidong next to him.

Sun Taidong had already taken the tunnel map from Ye Qingshan and started looking at it.

After watching it, I was immediately shocked.

He didn't expect that the trenches could be designed like this.

No one taught them before that tunnels could be dug this way.

After hearing Li Tianhan's shameless words, he quickly grabbed him and handed him the tunnel map: "Old Li, stop talking.

We will listen to what the battalion commander says."

Li Tianhan looked at Sun Taidong and thought: How could you betray me?

"Take a look at this tunnel map before you speak."

Sun Taidong looked at Li Tianhan and said.

Li Tianhan immediately took the tunnel map, took a look at it, and was immediately fascinated.

"It's clever, this is a good design."

Li Tianhan couldn't help but shout out. Seeing Ye Qingshan staring at him with a smile, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Captain, I disagree."

Sun Taidong also spoke at this time.

"You said."

Ye Qingshan also wanted to hear what Sun Taidong had to say.

“The battalion commander’s new tunnel map is indeed more cleverly designed.

If our position really promotes this kind of tunnel map.

Then the bombing by the Japanese heavy artillery and bombers will be reduced.

But the battalion commander's tunnel map also has a flaw.

That means the workload is greater and more manpower is needed.

But we are short of manpower now, and the Japanese may launch an attack at any time, and we don’t have enough time.

Therefore, I do not recommend that we use the battalion commander's tunnel map in all our positions."

"That makes sense. Keep going."

Ye Qingshan nodded, not angry, and motioned Sun Taidong to continue.

“My thoughts are.

After returning, we followed the battalion commander's new tunnel map.

Only improving part of the tunnel can save manpower and time.

This will prevent the soldiers from getting too tired, in case the Japanese suddenly attack.

Our soldiers are exhausted and in danger.”

"Well, Captain Sun said it very well.

Come on, everybody applaud."

Ye Qingshan led the applause.

He had felt this when he was digging the tunnel at position No. 3.

Ye Qingshan also knew that his previous thoughts were too simple.

The physique of the warriors of this era is not that of later generations.

It would be too much of a burden for the soldiers to complete the excavation of Ye Qingshan's new tunnel.

Ye Qingshan also prepared to reduce the size of the tunnel on the No. 3 position.

Now Sun Taidong has also proposed this.

"Captain Sun, what you said is very good, I agree with your proposal.

Shrink the new tunnel, and do it when you get back."

"Yes!"

The meeting ended successfully. Ye Qingshan could feel that Li Tianhan and Sun Taidong were obviously more respectful towards him.

Then, Ye Qingshan followed the two of them to inspect the first and second companies.

When the soldiers from the two companies saw Ye Qingshan coming, they all stood up and saluted.

There was light in their eyes.

In the battle last night, Ye Qingshan and his men fought beautifully.

It also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in the two companies of the Third Battalion.

Increased Ye Qingshan's prestige.

After inspecting the positions of the first and second companies, Ye Qingshan prepared to lead the reconnaissance squad out.

"Captain, the equipment is ready."

Black Bear, wearing a Japanese military uniform, came up to Ye Qingshan and said with a smile.

Ye Qingshan already had a lot of Japanese military uniforms in his hands.

This time, he was going to lead people to the front line for reconnaissance, and he still planned to use the old method and disguise themselves as a small group of Japanese troops.

"Captain Zhou, after I leave, this position will be handed over to you.

Also, I'll take the radio station with me."

Ye Qingshan looked at Zhou Pingkou and others and said.

"Be careful, Captain."
