Tunnel Warfare. Speaking of this word, everyone can think of the scene in the movie "Tunnel Warfare" in which the militiamen fought bravely and resourcefully against the Japanese and puppet troops. However, the real tunnels in history were in 1942 when the Japanese launched a major raid. The base areas behind enemy lines were the most It was a difficult and helpless practice in the most difficult times. It was not until the spring of 1943 that it was vigorously carried out. It gradually moved closer to the tunnel network standards of house-to-house, street-to-street, and village-to-village. Moreover, the tunnels were mainly distributed in Jizhong University Plains. However, there are only a handful of places where the ability to hide and fight, internal and external joint defense, mutual cooperation, and attack enemy positions can be truly formed. The process of continuous improvement of tunnel warfare is a cruel and bloody history of blood and tears. Countless people died and countless sheds were shed. Only through blood can we learn from experience and lessons and continue to improve.

The Second Route Army regarded tunneling as a long-term and unremitting strategic work. It put forward specific requirements and guidance on the organizational leadership, technical scale and other issues of digging tunnels. Soldiers and civilians went into battle to dig tunnels desperately. At that time, it was an example. It is absolutely rare. Every effort is rewarded. It is too much to say that the core area of ​​​​the base area has built an underground Great Wall. However, the tunnels in each village have formed actual combat capabilities. There are several roads leading to the wilderness. The tunnels are an indisputable fact. And because the evacuation of the masses is organized, the population control is also extremely strict. This prevents the tunnels from being destroyed due to spies or ordinary people being caught or leaking secrets.

There was an explosion. A puppet soldier was knocked to the ground. At the same time, several grenades suddenly jumped into the air. Then bursts of fire burst out in the sky. Shrapnel shot down toward the enemy like hailstones. Following the tragedy, Called. Several puppet soldiers were killed and injured on the spot.

A Japanese officer waved his hand at the back of the team with a solemn face. The demining engineers immediately rushed to the front. They held the minesweeper in their hands and went back and forth to detect the mines. The white ash scattered circles kept moving forward. The Japanese officer was exposed. He smiled with relief and lightness. Before his smile disappeared, an engineer's feet tilted. Then there was a "boom" sound. Black smoke rose into the sky. The puppet soldiers who were following behind and originally aimed at the waist brushed their swords again. He lay on the ground. After a while, the smoke dissipated. The bloody corpses of Japanese engineers remained on the ground.

"Baga." The Japanese officer leading the team cursed lowly. He waved his hand again and sent out engineers. He thought it was the engineers' negligence. He did not realize that the mine detector had no effect on stone mines and Tao mines. As for being detected by engineers, What came out was just some junk buried in order to confuse the enemy.

There was a sound of "Boom." Another engineer followed the mine detector and turned it into parts. His flesh and blood flew everywhere, which also shocked the Japanese commander. He didn't know what kind of mine material the Second Route Army used. The thunder weapon was ineffective. You should know that this was precious equipment transferred from Tianjin. All of a sudden, he was at a loss.

In fact, for this kind of trigger mine, because it is not controlled, the Self-Defense Forces do not bury many trigger mines. They only serve as a threat. The most buried mines are pull-out mines. Of course, due to the limitation of pull line distance, these mines are concentrated. In the village, it is controlled by self-defense team members hiding in tunnels and walls.

After a while, the Japanese officers had no choice but to withdraw their engineers. They brought in a few ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages and opened a road in front of them, heading towards the village.

After paying the price of two cows and one horse, the enemy entered the village. They did not find any resistance until they occupied the whole village. The Japanese officer just breathed a sigh of relief. "Bang." A Japanese soldier stood on a high building. He fell headlong, followed by "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping," they were falling. But no matter where they hide, it is not safe. They are all taking bullets. "Boom, boom, boom." Self-defense team members are constantly firing landmines, killing and injuring enemies who enter the minefield.

I didn't know where to fight or where to hide. The enemy was completely passive and had to evacuate the village in panic.

"Bombard the village with artillery." The angry Japanese officer waved his command knife and howled. Several mortars selected their positions and lined up in a row.

"Taijun, there are still many wounded people in the village who have not been rescued." An officer from the security army ran over and reminded.

"Baga. Soldiers must have the consciousness to die in battle." Anger surged into his heart. The Japanese officer walked up and slapped the traitor hard.

"Boom. Boom. Boom..." The artillery fire violently bombarded the houses in the village. The houses collapsed one after another. A ferocious sneer appeared on the face of the Japanese officer.

After more than ten minutes of artillery fire, the enemy carefully entered the village again, stepping on the rubble in the ruins. After they occupied the village again, "Bang." A crisp gunshot broke the silence. In the blink of an eye, there was another gunshot... …

Because of the experience gained this time, both the Japanese and the puppet troops ran very fast. After they withdrew from the village again, they counted the number of people and found that the two occupations of this small village resulted in the casualties of a small team.

The Japanese and puppet troops who invaded the base area faced unexpected difficulties. They were struggling. This was true on the entire front. There were only thirty or forty capable self-defense members in one village. With the help of a squad of regular army commanders, they relied on their knowledge of the terrain. Familiarity with the terrain, relying on mines and tunnels, and being resourceful and brave to fight against the superior enemy, making the enemy feel helpless and in a dilemma.

"The tunnels and mines actually made the Japanese Imperial Army helpless and difficult to move forward." Ishibashi Takamori threw the reports sent by the ministries on the table and walked quickly back and forth in the tent. "During the last sweep, they adopted It's to disturb my retreat. This time, I've changed my tactics again, defending village by village, fortifying them layer by layer. We don't know how much they have."

Shimada stood in front of the table. He read the report carefully and said tentatively: "According to the report, this tunnel is very strange. The enemy is hiding in it. Our army cannot attack effectively. And the fortifications are all connected with the tunnel. It can both look out and shoot. Various firepowers intersect to form a dense firepower network. It is also assisted by mines that are difficult to prevent. It is really a headache."

Ishibashi Takamori stopped and stared at Shimada. He said deeply: "Tell me, why do their tactics have so many tricks? We always have to be one step behind and deal with it passively. The total casualties today have reached more than 300 people." .If they continue to be consumed like this, their main force will soon take the initiative to attack us."

Shimada did not dare to look at Ishibashi's sharp eyes. He lowered his head. He only heard Ishibashi Takamori still talking.
