The longer the battle dragged on, the lower the morale of the fighters became. War is not only a test for nations and countries, but also a test for each and every individual who participates in the war, who uses their spirit and body to sustain this war.

"This is a mosquito repellent herb, yesterday I inquired from the locals about the method, the effect is obvious, everyone put a little on the body, and you can sleep peacefully for a while at night!"

"Squad leader, how can you sleep this day? Look at the rain everywhere in this place, you're going to get sick if you fall asleep! ”

There is not even a dry place where the soldiers are stationed, it is wet everywhere, even the clothes can be wrung out of the water, where can the soldiers sleep, even those mosquitoes and unknown insects will bite you awake.

"Try to sleep for a while, you have to fight tomorrow, how can you hold on without physical strength!"

Fighting in this environment is inherently very physically demanding, and if you don't rest, few people will be able to hold on.

"Let me tell you the good news, the logistics department of the military department has come to support our troops?" The company commander came to the fighters and announced the good news.

"The logistics department supports us in the war? Company commander, you're not kidding, are you? Those soldiers from the logistics department can help us transport ammunition, but if they go to the front line to fight, I dare say that they can't beat my platoon in a single company! ”

"Who told you that he came to support us in the battle, they came to dig fortifications for us, everyone has been fighting hard these days, and there has been rain for days, there is no place to rest, this time the logistics department came to build a house for us! Although the house is simple, it can shelter from the wind and rain! ”

Liao Fan has been paying attention to the battle situation in Suiyuan, the war has made the soldiers tired, and the rain for days is even more torturous, in order to let the soldiers rest in the interval between battles, Liao Fan asked Sun Boyong to recruit migrant workers to the front line to repair a place for the soldiers to rest.

Of course, it costs money to recruit migrant workers, but Sun Boyong simply sent all the soldiers from the logistics department out, and the money was saved.

The soldiers on the front line finally have shelter, and the most important thing is that they can also make a fire on rainy days, and dry their wet clothes with fire, so that their bodies are comfortable, and the fighters will naturally be more motivated.

After many days of hard fighting, most of the strength of a brigade of the Japanese army was annihilated, and the remaining little devils were divided.

Once the troops began to fight separately and did not have a unified command, it meant that the Japanese army could no longer form a large-scale counterattack. And Ma Wanzhong's side blocked dozens of Japanese attacks in the past few days, and because of the rain, the Japanese troops who came to support them were exhausted, and the battle was repeatedly defeated, and even one of the Japanese brigades was killed.

After Okamura Ninji learned of the situation, he knew that the Suiyuan area had gone away, so he had to order the reinforcements to be withdrawn. After Ma Wanzhong learned of the retreat of the Japanese army, he was afraid that the Japanese army would deceive, so he kept his eyes on the forward position, and as long as Li Weimin did not succeed for a day, they would not be able to withdraw for a day.

"Boom Boom"

The soldiers on the front line seldom used their lives to rush the Japanese army's underground fortifications, and they used explosives to blast them, advancing meter by meter, constantly compressing the living space of the Japanese army.

When the explosives were gone, the soldiers used shells, and then connected them, anyway, the artillery did not play much role in this battle, and their shells were snatched by the infantry and then used as explosives.

The Japanese army's underground fortifications were bombed beyond recognition, and as the Japanese army's activity space was compressed, the density of the little devils in the underground fortifications became larger and larger. Apparently, the underground fortifications turned into a grave for the Japanese army after several days of continuous attack by the New 33rd Army.

"Hurry up, don't let the Sixth Company rob it, pull these shells back!" The company commander urged the soldiers, who were now so happy to bomb the Japanese underground fortifications that they were almost rushing to do it.

"Old Five, can you always rob business, this is our sixth company!"

", the head of the regiment said, whoever grabs it is whoever!"

The warriors have also learned to find their own pleasure in this battle, and if they tense their nerves every day and tremble all day on the battlefield, they will get sick even if they are not killed by the little devils.

Half a month after Li Weimin's attack on the Japanese underground fortifications, the Seventh Group sent a good news that they had completely annihilated a brigade of the Japanese army. Of course, Li Weimin wanted to send a congratulatory message to Fu Yisheng, but he didn't know how long it would take for the matter here to end.

The strength of the two divisions of the Japanese army was like rats underground, and sometimes they would drag Li Weimin's troops not to attack and continue to dig tunnels underground, and as a result, the little devils in the tunnels dug out could get lost.

"The underground fortifications of the little devils have completely deviated from the area of our reconnaissance, and now our company is attacking in this direction!"

The Japanese army dug in the ground without direction, and Li Weimin's troops had to change their battle plan and follow the direction of the little devil.

"You can't fight like this anymore, when will it be a head if you continue to fight like this!" Although they killed more and more Japanese soldiers, there was a Japanese army still fighting in underground fortifications, and their task was not over, but they could not spend ten days and half a month with him here for the two main divisions of the new 33rd Army of the Japanese army.

With the reduction of the strength of the Japanese army, the new 33rd Army has more and more idle troops, and it is becoming more and more uneconomical to continue this kind of battle, and they must complete their tasks as soon as possible.

"Regiment commander, judging from the situation in the past few days, the newly dug underground passage of the Japanese army has no exhaust holes, and we can smoke these little devils to death!"

"No, the little devil has a large amount of gas masks in reserve, if you smoke it, not only will it not hurt the little devil, but it will also delay our attack speed!"

The Japanese army had already thought of the new 33rd Army's method of attacking the underground fortifications, whether it was smoking or water, the little devils had a way to solve it.

"Commander, why are you here?"

Just as the officers were discussing the plan to destroy the enemy, Li Weimin came to the command post on the front line wearing a poncho.

"How? Have you thought of a good way to do it? ”

Li Weimin glanced at the map and knew that these officers were discussing countermeasures to break the enemy.

"Division commander, the little devil is too cunning, now this underground passage extends in all directions, the little devil has opened up several roads, we blocked this one, and the little devil dug through the other end, so that the little devil can't be concentrated and eliminated!"

The regiment commander is having a headache for the war, and the little devil is even more cunning than the rabbit.

"Give you a way to break the enemy, it's one word, bomb! When I meet the little devil's new passage, it will blow up, but I'll see how much physical strength the little devil has! ”

After thinking for a while, Li Weimin said to his regiment commander that digging tunnels underground is a physically demanding thing than fighting, and the little devils will blow up a section if they dig a section. Li Weimin's soldiers don't have to spend much physical strength at all, while the little devil has to spend a lot of energy for a small tunnel.

"Yes!"

The troops no longer had to let the little devils lead them by the nose, except for the main passage where they had already reconnoitred the Japanese underground fortifications, and they blew up when they encountered a passage leading to other places.

Sometimes there are more than 20 little devils hidden in a passage, and before the exit can be opened, the entrance is blown up, and then these 20 little devils are suffocated alive in the underground passage.

"Boom Boom"

There were fewer and fewer gunshots, more violent explosions. Every explosion represents the destruction of the hopes of the Japanese army, the Japanese army has begun to run off the water, although a lot of food is stored, but the water resources are limited after all, and the wells they mined have been blown up by the new 33rd Army.

"How long have we been holding out?" The Japanese commanders had forgotten the time, the Japanese troops underground could not see the sun, and their biological clocks had already been mixed.

The chief of staff took out a pamphlet, took out a pen and crossed a few lines on the pamphlet, saying: "It's either twenty days or twenty-one days!" Our space is getting smaller and smaller! ”

"It seems that the time has come to be loyal to the Emperor, and tell us that every soldier we can contact now is the pride of the Imperial Japanese Army, and we must be loyal to the Emperor!"

The last despair, the last fight, the Japanese army had nothing but courage, the next moment their lives did not belong to themselves, they were also simple peasants, but now they are invaders, and in the end only by paying with their lives can they pay for the heinous crimes they committed in China.

From the beginning of the summer offensive to the middle of summer, the New 33rd Army finally cleared the last defensive point of the Japanese army underground, and the two divisions of the Japanese army were completely wiped out.

"Just clean up the guns and ammunition, and bury the corpse of the little devil in the ground! Mark the perimeter and tell the local population that the groundwater here will not be drinkable for at least two years! ”

Decomposing corpses will inevitably spread diseases, and for the sake of the local people, they must set up forbidden areas and tell the local people.

The Suiyuan region has regained tranquility, peace is rare, and it took countless lives and blood to get the result. In accordance with the agreement, the new 33rd Army withdrew from the Suiyuan area and handed over all the defense affairs in the Suiyuan area to the Seventh Group Army to manage.

"Tell you Division Commander Li and Commander Liao, I, Fu someone, thank them for the people in Suiyuan area, and I will definitely bring a generous gift to visit another day!"

The Suiyuan area has been initially decided, and there are still many things to do, Fu Yisheng is also a busy man now, and his command headquarters has to move eastward, because the east side of the Suiyuan area is the defense area of the Japanese army, and they must set up a defense area and strictly deploy defenses to prevent the Japanese army from invading the Suiyuan area again.

The Suiyuan area was finally recovered, and a big stone in Liao Fan's heart was also put down, and the new 33rd Army no longer threatened the Japanese army in the north, and it occupied the Taihang Mountain, which could be attacked and defended.
