Zhao Gang nodded and added: "The terrain of this stronghold is very complicated. A frontal attack will be met with a strong counterattack from the devils. We must find another way."

Tang Li raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Captain Li, I have an idea. We can use tunnel warfare, dig underground to the enemy's stronghold, and attack them directly and unexpectedly."

Monk Wei clapped his hands excitedly, "Good idea, Tang Li! This way we can avoid the enemy's defenses and catch them off guard!"

Zhang Dabiao also agreed: "Yes, this method is good. Many of our soldiers are familiar with the techniques of tunnel warfare and can quickly dig out the devil's lair."

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "This plan is indeed feasible. But tunnel warfare requires precise planning and coordination, and we will be exposed if we are not careful."

Zhao Gang frowned: "Digging a tunnel requires time and concealment. If the devil finds us, our operation will be in vain."

Tang Li said firmly: "Staff Officer Zhao, I will organize an experienced team to dig the tunnel. We will choose to act at night to ensure that we are not discovered by the devils."

Li Yunlong looked at everyone and finally said, "Okay, since everyone agrees with this plan, let's do it this way. Tang Li, you will be responsible for digging the tunnel, Wei Heshang and Zhang Dabiao will be responsible for cover and support. Zhao Gang, you and I will be responsible for command and coordination to ensure the smooth progress of the operation."

After the meeting, Tang Li assembled a team of experienced soldiers, all of whom were veterans of tunnel warfare and had made great achievements in many battlefields. Tang Li explained in detail the plan and steps for tunnel digging, emphasizing the importance of concealment and safety.

"Everyone, please pay attention. The tunnel digging must remain absolutely concealed and no sound can be made. We choose to act at night and provide cover and camouflage during the day to ensure that we are not discovered by the Japanese." Tang Li said seriously.

An old soldier nodded and said, "Don't worry, Squad Leader Tang Li. We have rich experience and will definitely be able to complete the mission."

Monk Wei smiled and patted Tang Li on the shoulder: "Boy, leave the digging of the tunnel to you. We will cover you on the ground and make sure that the Japanese will not find you."

As night fell, the lights in the camp gradually went out, with only a few sentry posts still flickering with faint lights. The team led by Tang Li quietly began to dig a tunnel. They chose a hidden corner and began to dig a tunnel leading to the Japanese stronghold.

"Everyone, be careful, move gently and don't make any noise." Tang Li reminded in a low voice.

The soldiers nodded silently, their tools flickering in the darkness. They dug carefully, handling each shovel of soil very carefully so as not to alert the enemy.

As time went by, the tunnel gradually extended, and they were getting closer and closer to the devil's base. Wei Heshang and Zhang Dabiao on the ground were responsible for monitoring and covering to ensure the smooth progress of the tunnel excavation.

"Brother Monk, what are the movements of the Japanese?" Zhang Dabiao asked in a low voice.

Monk Wei observed through the telescope for a while and replied: "The Japanese haven't made any unusual movements. It seems that they haven't discovered our actions yet."

Zhang Dabiao nodded: "That's good, we will continue to stay alert."

Tang Li and his team continued digging underground. Their movements became more and more skilled, and the progress of the tunnel became faster and faster. Tang Li was thinking about the next plan while digging. He knew that digging the tunnel was only the first step, and how to use the tunnel for a surprise attack was the key.

"Sergeant Tang Li, we are approaching the Japanese stronghold." A soldier whispered.

Tang Li nodded and signaled everyone to stop: "Okay, everyone, take a break, check the tools and equipment, and prepare for the next action."

The soldiers put down their tools and gently wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Tang Li carefully checked the tunnel and confirmed that everything was normal. He whispered, "Next, we have to be more careful and not make any noise. Everyone, get ready and keep moving forward."

As the tunnel extended, they finally approached the enemy's stronghold. Tang Li observed through the tiny holes for a while and determined the enemy's position and number.

"The Japanese command post is just ahead. We can launch a surprise attack from here." Tang Li said in a low voice.

A soldier asked nervously, "Squad Leader Tang Li, how long will it take us to find the enemy's command post?"

Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "According to the current progress, it will probably take another two hours. Everyone stay alert and don't make any noise."

Time passed minute by minute, and the tunnel gradually extended to the bottom of the Japanese command post. Tang Li gestured for everyone to stop. He listened carefully for a while, and after confirming that there was no abnormal movement above, he whispered: "Everyone get ready, we will act immediately."

The soldiers nodded and tightened their weapons. Tang Li carefully dug up the last layer of soil, revealing the floor of the Japanese command post. He gently pushed away a piece of the floor, observed through the gap for a while, and after confirming that no enemy had discovered it, he signaled everyone to prepare for the raid.

"Action!" Tang Li ordered in a low voice.

The soldiers quickly and quietly emerged from the tunnel and entered the enemy's command post. They quickly occupied a favorable position and prepared to launch a surprise attack.

"Everyone, pay attention. The target is the Japanese commander. Everyone else, provide cover." Tang Li commanded in a low voice.

Following the order, the soldiers quickly launched a surprise attack. Their actions were swift and precise, and they subdued the Japanese commander in almost an instant. The Japanese in the command post had no time to react and were suppressed.

"Hurry, confiscate their weapons!" Tang Li ordered.

The soldiers acted quickly, seized all the weapons of the devils, and tied them up with ropes. Tang Li took out the radio and reported the situation to Li Yunlong.

"Captain Li, we have successfully occupied the Japanese command post. Please instruct us on the next steps." Tang Li said calmly.

Li Yunlong's voice came from the other end of the radio: "Well done, Tang Li! You guys hold the position first, we will send troops to support you immediately."

"Yes, Captain Li." Tang Li agreed.

The soldiers quickly set up defensive fortifications to prepare for a possible counterattack. The support troops led by Wei Heshang and Zhang Dabiao arrived quickly and joined Tang Li's team.

"Tang Li, you did a great job!" Monk Wei said excitedly.

Zhang Dabiao also smiled: "Yes, we have made a great contribution again this time!"

Tang Li smiled and said, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Now we have to ensure the safety of our position and not let the Japanese counterattack."

As time went by, the main force of the independent regiment arrived one after another and quickly occupied the entire stronghold. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang came to the command post to check the results of the battle.

"Tang Li, you have performed very well this time. Your superiors will definitely reward you." Li Yunlong said approvingly.

Zhao Gang also nodded and said, "Yes, the strategy of tunnel warfare was very successful. We must sum up our experience and prepare for future battles."

The soldiers cheered and celebrated the hard-won victory. Li Yunlong looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with pride and emotion. He knew that these soldiers had won the victory with their courage and wisdom, and they were the most precious wealth of the independent regiment.

"Brothers, victory belongs to us!" Li Yunlong said loudly, "But we can't relax. The Japanese may counterattack at any time. We must always stay vigilant."

"Yes, Captain Li!" the soldiers answered in unison, their voices full of determination and strength.

Night fell again, and the camp returned to a brief tranquility. Tang Li sat by the campfire, feeling a sense of accomplishment and responsibility.

The night was deep, the lights of the camp swayed in the breeze, and the camp was quiet. In the headquarters, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wei Heshang, Zhang Dabiao and Tang Li sat together again, the battle map on the table was still spread out, and a few candles added a solemn atmosphere to their discussion.

Li Yunlong raised his head and looked at everyone: "We have just eliminated the Japanese stronghold, but the Japanese will react soon. We must fight another good battle before they counterattack."

Zhao Gang nodded and continued, "Intelligence shows that the Japanese troops stationed in the south have recently shown signs of large-scale mobilization. They may launch a counterattack from there. We need to make plans in advance and cannot wait for them to take the initiative to attack."

Tang Li pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "Captain Li, Staff Officer Zhao, the weather has changed a lot recently. The weather forecast shows that there may be thunderstorms in the next few days. If we can take advantage of the thunderstorm to launch an attack, the effect may be unexpected."

Monk Wei frowned: "Thunderstorm? Will it have an adverse effect on us as well?"

Zhang Dabiao interjected: "Thunderstorm weather is indeed not conducive to our march and combat, but it will also make the enemy's defense loose. The enemy will not expect us to launch an attack in such weather."

Li Yunlong nodded, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes: "What Tang Li said makes sense. Thunderstorms will interfere with the enemy's communications and vision, and their defenses will inevitably be relaxed. We can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

Zhao Gang took over the topic: "Thunderstorm weather is indeed a good opportunity, but we must be fully prepared to ensure the safety and smoothness of the operation in bad weather."

Tang Li said firmly: "I will organize a capable team to be responsible for the preliminary reconnaissance and preparation work to ensure that we can quickly take action when the thunderstorm comes."

Li Yunlong patted the table and said, "Okay, it's settled. We must make all preparations before the thunderstorm arrives, and when the time comes, we will take action immediately!"

A few days later, the weather forecast showed that a large-scale thunderstorm was coming. The team led by Tang Li had conducted several reconnaissance missions and had mastered the details of the enemy's base.
