Squad Leader Kondo gave a military salute and shouted loudly: "Hai, my organization Imperial Army soldiers, continue to dig down until there is no soft soil, and then report to His Excellency the Squadron Leader." ”

Xiao Huang, who stayed at the mouth of the tunnel to guard, heard that the grenade tied to the cover plate was detonated by the devil, and immediately blocked the entrance of the cave, and the dust of the explosion came to his face, and the powerful driving force pressed Xiao Huang to quickly impact into the tunnel, if he was not familiar with the tunnel, once he did not run in time, I am afraid that he would be buried under the soil that collapsed from the explosion.

Xiao Huang ran in more than 20 steps, felt the thrust behind him weaken, and the mud and stone storm that covered his face was left behind him, so he stopped, and when the dust settled, he quickly returned, and found a mark with a mark, marking the soil that had collapsed from the entrance of the detonation hole, extending more than seven meters into the hole.

He felt that the situation had to be reported immediately, and he turned and ran deeper into the cave.

After listening to Xiao Huang's report on the situation of the hole, Wang Ziming frowned and said: "Now that the hole is sealed, we must immediately activate other vents and make emergency preparations, otherwise we will suffocate in the hole." ”

He ordered Xiao Huang: "You return to the entrance of the cave immediately, and once you find that the little devil outside the entrance of the cave has taken action against the tunnel, you will come back again immediately and report it." ”

The serious situation that the entrance of the cave was sealed was unexpected by everyone in the cave, but this was not the worst situation, Xiao Huang returned from the entrance of the cave in a short time, and his sweaty face showed an anxious report: "The enemy outside the cave has begun to dig into the tunnel, the speed is very fast, and now it should have been dug into the hole for three meters, and it won't take long to dig through the tunnel." ”

Wang Ziming was not too nervous, and ordered several other comrades working underground: "You should immediately adopt the second blocking plan, and the speed should be fast. ”

The three comrades received Wang Ziming's order and quickly rushed to the mouth of the tunnel to implement the second plan.

Wang Xiaoliang asked uneasily in his heart: "Comrade Ziming, can the second plan stop the enemy outside the cave?" Is there any follow-up preparation? If the enemy has been reluctant to focus on attacking the tunnel, then are we sure that the enemy will be stopped? ”

Wang Ziming deeply felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, once the little devil took this breakthrough hole as the target of attack, he would not give up until the goal was achieved, and he had no confidence and confidence to protect the seriously injured and medical personnel hidden in the cave.

He looked at Wang Xiaoliang's anxious and solemn expression, and could only express his worries: "Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, the second mechanism to block the enemy is to detonate the explosive package set on the top and the two walls of the hole when the enemy is about to dig through, and blast down the big boulder above to block the hole, and at the same time, it will cause a five-meter collapse into the tunnel, and block the tunnel again." ”

"How many mechanisms can there be?"

"Comrade Xiaoliang, do you think that the enemy can remove thousands of catties of boulders and continue to dig in the tunnel, you must ......."

"Comrade Ziming, it's not that I thought, it's a cunning and vicious little devil, will you give up? What would he think if he met a thoughtful Japanese commander who was hit twice in a row by activating the detonating device while exploring the tunnel, and the tunnel collapsed to block the hole? Do you think that this tunnel must hide an unspeakable secret, in order to find out, continue to dredge the tunnel, and never give up until the goal is achieved, do you say that this is possible? ”

Wang Ziming didn't expect that the several questions asked by Wang Xiaoliang in a row were exactly what he was worried about.

He said uncertainly: "Xiaoliang, now there is one last fortification at this cave entrance, if the three settings are broken through by the enemy, then we have to find another way, but I think that if necessary, detonate the second fortification device, the large stone of thousands of catties fell down to block the entrance of the cave, the little devil is in the narrow tunnel, it is impossible to move this big stone, impossible." ”

"What if the cunning enemy bypasses the boulder and digs a new passage from the side into the main tunnel?"

"Wang Xiaoliang, you are endless, if you hadn't ventured over and led the enemy to the entrance of the cave, would we be in such a big danger?" Wang Ziming was pressed by Wang Xiaoliang step by step, asking several questions in a row, and shot back with some annoyance and almost roaring.

Zhang Guanghua saw that the two people had caused a misunderstanding because of poor communication of words, and immediately persuaded him: "Comrade Wang Ziming, don't be anxious, these questions raised by Xiaoliang are also the inescapable problems we are currently facing, and we must find a feasible emergency plan in the shortest possible time, otherwise this situation really occurs, I am afraid that it will be too late to deal with it." ”

The seriously injured man surnamed Sun, who was half-lying on the stretcher, interjected: "I think that the several issues raised by Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Xiaoliang should be paid attention to as soon as possible, and the key now is to deal with the strategy and formulate a new action plan, which is the top priority." ”

Wang Ziming suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his shoulders, so that he was a little out of breath, for the safety of the lives of these important people in the tunnel, this old underground worker, quickly adjusted his anxiety, dissatisfaction and complaining mentality, and said to Wang Xiaoliang in a kind tone: "Comrade Xiaoliang, let's go to the cave to take a look, and then come up with a positive response plan, okay?" ”

Wang Xiaoliang is also a straight temper, seeing that Wang Ziming took the initiative to show goodwill, he immediately relieved his mood and said: "Okay, let's go over and have a look." ”

A few people left the spacious big hole that still smelled of gunpowder just now, and Lei Jian, who was lying on the stretcher, said in a low voice: "Wang Xiaoliang, this stinky boy has made great progress, and he knows that it is not easy to use his brain." ”

"Captain Lei, are you awake?" Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao heard Lei Jian speak, and quickly squatted down and asked.

"I didn't fall asleep at all."

"Who believes you, doesn't let you speak, just helped you lie down, immediately snored, and said that he didn't fall asleep." Chun Tao said with a smile on her face.

Lei Jian restrained his smile and said sternly: "If I don't pretend to be asleep, can I hear you say what you want to say?" Especially when I heard the first dull explosion coming from the hole, I felt the impact of the oppressive air.

I also heard the dispute between Wang Xiaoliang and Wang Ziming just now, but I don't know how this tunnel is set up, whether the enemy will find the hole set up in other places, once the concealment is not tight, then our comrades who hide in the tunnel must think of other ways and prepare a good plan of action, which is also a precautionary measure. ”

Lao Sun, who was on the stretcher beside him, answered: "Commander Lei's analysis is reasonable, I think we should set up a temporary command organ with command effectiveness, I propose that Commander Lei Jian serve as the commander, and I take the initiative to ask to participate, composed of Wang Ziming, Wang Xiaoliang and Zhang Guanghua." ”

Zhang Guanghua nodded in agreement: "I agree, it's just that Captain Lei's injuries are very serious, I'm afraid he ......." ”

Lao Sun interrupted Zhang Guanghua's words and said, "Vice President Zhang, do you think that if you exclude Regiment Leader Lei, he will be able to stop?" No, he is an excellent commander, and he has rich experience in fighting the enemy, especially the ability to command decisively in the face of danger.

I believe that having Commander Lei personally in command will not only strengthen our resolve to deal with the enemy, but will also help him recover from his injuries and speed up the healing of his wounds because of his responsibilities and the mobilization of the potential in his body. ”

"Lao Sun, you mean to regulate physical skills through consciousness, speed up blood circulation, and play a role in injury healing and wound healing, is that what you mean?"

"Haha, dealing with knowledgeable and literate people is to make people feel comfortable and communicate effortlessly." Lao Sun couldn't help but sigh.

When Lei Jian heard Lao Sun say this, he frowned, and first agreed to Lao Sun's proposal to form a new command organ, which had reached the point of being able to quickly respond to the enemy, and would not be unprepared and panicked.

But he disagreed with the last few sour words he said, and he had to remind: "Lao Sun, I don't know which unit you belong to, and what position you have, but the last sentence you said, 'Dealing with knowledgeable and literate people is to make people feel comfortable', should not be said so bluntly in the most dangerous and difficult extraordinary period."

This will strike at those cadres and fighters who have just run out of their villages to join the Eighth Route Army, and they will feel disgusted in their hearts, and will undermine our determination to unite as one to meet the enemy and give full play to our combat effectiveness. ”

"The criticism is in place, and I accept it. Captain Lei, according to your speech, you should also be highly educated, otherwise you would not have spoken so clearly and logically. Lao Sun said sincerely.
