But when Yamamoto Isoroku was killed by the U.S. army, and the battle situation appeared to be clearly unfavorable to the Japanese army, it was different...... The Japanese army gradually lost air and sea supremacy, and the situation in which the United States was strong and Japan weak became more and more obvious, so Nishida Shomi's proposal was soon taken seriously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, at the beginning, the Japanese army only proposed to the Special Marine Corps to build tunnels for defense, and did not systematically learn the construction of tunnels, so the tunnels built at the beginning were relatively rudimentary.

It wasn't until Koga Mineichi was transferred from China that the 1st Mobile Brigade of the Sea had experience in "tunnel warfare" with Chinese guerrillas......

Therefore, the transfer of the 1st Mobile Maritime Brigade to the Marshall Islands was not only for combat, but also to teach the Japanese garrison on the Marshall Islands how to build tunnels.

For example, the tunnel on Kwajalein Island was completed under the guidance of the 1st Mobile Brigade at sea, and the reason why the Japanese troops in the tunnel were able to shoot at the mouth of the tunnel after a few corners was because they absorbed the experience of "tunnel warfare" on the Chinese battlefield...... The tunnel is double-folded back to its original position after a few folds, and then a water pipe with a thickness of more than ten centimeters is buried in the direction of the tunnel mouth as a perforation and an observation hole, once someone is found to appear at the mouth of the tunnel, it will be "banged".

At first, the soldiers did not know about this situation, and several soldiers fell one after another in front of the mouth of the tunnel...... The reason why several fighters fell was because the fighters couldn't figure out where the bullet came from, so they threw a few grenades and thought that they had solved the enemy, but there were still bullets, and after a few attempts, the casualties were large.

Zhang Chi rushed to the battlefield in a jeep, and Wu Yuhang rushed to Zhang Chi and stood up and shouted: "Master!" ”

The lack of salute was due to the fear of Japanese snipers, a habit that had been developed as early as the battlefields of Burma.

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded, and while getting out of the car, he followed Wu Yuhang into a traffic trench, and after running for a short distance, he leaned out, and there were several expeditionary soldiers outside surrounding a Japanese pit but they didn't know where to start.

"Is the flamethrower on?" Zhang Chi asked.

The flamethrower is undoubtedly the best equipment for dealing with the pits, which has been proven in previous battles.

"Up!" Wu Yuhang replied a little helplessly: "But that pit will shoot bullets out...... After a few burns, the devils were knocked down, and the burnt jar was blown up by the devils, sacrificing several brothers! ”

After a pause, Wu Yuhang said again: "We even sent tanks up and bombarded the tunnel...... But even if the mouth of the tunnel collapses, you can't beat the devil hiding inside, it's really ******! ”

Zhang Chi raised his binoculars and looked at the tunnel, and then asked, "Is there a detailed structural map of the tunnel from the devil captive?" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yuhang touched his body, took out a folded sketch from his pocket, unfolded it and put it in front of Zhang Chi, and said, "This is a ...... drawn by a devil."

Zhang Chi took the sketch and looked at it, and asked, "Are you sure it's like this?" ”

"Is there a problem with the devil's drawing? Lao Tzu went to kill that **** bastard! ”

"No!" Zhang Chi stopped: "I'm not saying that there is a problem with this picture, I mean...... Don't have sandbags in there? How many vents are there? How deep is it?! ”

Wu Yuhang couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned his head and shouted to an officer who was commanding the battle from a distance of more than ten meters: "Third company commander, bring me the devil prisoner!" ”

"Yes!"

"The second crutch is also called!"

"Yes!"

The second crutch is a soldier under Wu Yuhang, because his leg was injured in battle, and he was injured twice in the same leg...... When he was injured for the first time, he said self-deprecatingly: "Now I'm a kidnapper!" After being injured for the second time, he said: "Now it's a second crutch!" ”。

So the fighters gave him the nickname "Second Crutch".

But don't look at the nickname "Second Crutch", he is a soldier who studied Japanese in Japan...... Although there were not many young intellectuals in this period, they were in vogue to study in Japan, and they were not admiring foreign countries or betraying the country.

On the contrary, they do it precisely because they are patriotic...... Japan used to be a weak country, and it can even be said that it was much weaker than China, but after the Meiji Restoration, in just a few decades, it became the first country in Asia to embark on the road of industrialization and gradually became one of the world's great powers, which made many patriotic young people feel ...... If China, which is also an Asian country, wants to become strong, it may be the best choice to learn from Japan's path of reform.

These people include Li Dazhao, ******, Chen Duxiu, etc., and even the shadow of Japan's Meiji Restoration can be seen in China's Wuxu reform, but this reform ended in failure.

From today's point of view, it is obviously not feasible to copy or learn from Japan's path of reform, because China and Japan have different national conditions and different international environments, so China must find its own path with Chinese characteristics, which has been verified in modern times.

However, if we stand in the environment of old China, the national strength is weak, the people are poor, corruption is rampant, and the country is bullied by foreign powers and at the same time there is constant infighting...... A large number of patriotic young people know that in order to make the country strong, it is necessary to reform, but they do not know how to change and how to reform, so they will naturally carry out all kinds of anxious attempts and explorations.

One of them was the "second crutch", who studied politics in Japan, because he believed that if he wanted to reform, he had to start with the political system.

But the reality is harsh...... Without the support of power and the military, politics is undoubtedly an empty word. Realizing this, the "second crutch" angrily abandoned his pen and joined the army from Rong.

At this time, he was already a company commander of the expeditionary force, and because he was proficient in Japanese, he was responsible for interrogating Japanese prisoners.

After a while, the two Japanese prisoners were escorted up by several soldiers, and the "second crutch" limped in front of Zhang Chi and shouted: "Division!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi asked the previous question again.

Soon after, he received a reply from the Japanese prisoners: "There are no sandbags in the tunnels, and there are six or seven ventilation holes in each tunnel, ranging from a few meters to a dozen or twenty meters deep!" ”

I was a little relieved to hear this, and it was obvious that one thing was...... The Japanese learned how to prevent fire from the "tunnel warfare" of the Chinese battlefield, but they did not learn how to prevent the air from being evacuated.

In fact, it cannot be said that the Japanese did not think of it, but they thought that ...... Bullets can be fired from the tunnel, and if necessary, a machine gun can even be set up, so you don't have to worry too much about being evacuated.

But this is clearly not the case. (To be continued.) )
