At this time, Lin Yuan did not rush to order an attack, but contacted Chen Fei in the northeast base, Chen Fei smiled as soon as he received Lin Yuan's call: "I don't have anything to do these days, don't look for something for me!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Have you watched the news recently?" Do you know what the Japanese are clamoring for? ”

Chen Fei smiled: "Of course you know the way, isn't it just a fortification in the mountains?" Can they hold us back with their fortifications? ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's too early to say these words, you should know the difficulty of fighting in the mountain tunnels, right?" ”

Chen Fei said: "Of course, I know that I have not forgotten the lessons taught by the war history instructors in the military academy back then, and in the past, we and the US military fought in the tunnels in North Korea, and the battles were very fierce, but now we are the side with the advantage in weapons and equipment."

Lin Yuan said: "Although we are the superior side, it is not easy for us to fight the Japanese army's tunnels, the core fortifications of the Japanese army are located in the mountains are extremely high, and the roads are very rugged, it is difficult for large weapons and equipment to go up, and the mountains are very thick, and our armor fragmentation shells may not be able to kill the personnel inside, so we can only rely on infantry to fight." ”

Chen Fei smiled: "You don't need to say this, just say it directly, what do you want me to do?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "You have two tasks, first, send a sniper detachment, on the one hand, to snipe the Japanese troops exposed outside the tunnel, and on the other hand, to protect our troops from the attack of Japanese snipers; Second, to reconnoiter the situation of the Japanese tunnels, it is best to find out the structure, personnel and weapons and equipment of the Japanese tunnels. ”

Chen Fei said: "Both of these tasks are very simple, I will lead the troops to the front line, and then send a small team to conduct reconnaissance." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Well, today is February 3rd, you can report the situation to me before February 5th, February 5th is the Lantern Festival, and I plan to launch an attack on the Japanese army on the day when the people of the whole country celebrate the festival." ”

Chen Fei said: "Time is too tight! It will take less than two days to complete the battle, and our troops will have to march from the station in Changbai Mountain to North Korea, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel, so how can you let us get information in less than two days. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, you said it will take a few days?" ”

Chen Fei said: "It will take at least ten days, that is, I will report to you on the reconnaissance situation before February 13." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, February 13 will be February 13!" Chen Fei agreed, and Lin Yuan immediately hung up the phone, but he was thinking repeatedly in his heart: "What does the Japanese army's tunnel look like?" What will the next battle look like? Lin Yuan thought about it and couldn't help but think of another classic mountain tunnel attack and defense battle - the Battle of Iwo Jima in the Second World War of his time, in which nearly 7,000 American troops were killed and missing, and nearly 22,000 were wounded!

Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "Some people are always very interested in the number of casualties when they look at the battle statistics, thinking that a high number of casualties of the enemy army is a big victory, and a high number of casualties on their own side is a big defeat or a miserable victory, these people are people who do not have a deep understanding of war and military affairs, and in the eyes of a commander of my level, the number of casualties is far more important than the number of casualties." ”

"Because the dead only need to pay a large pension to their families, and then pay a small pension on a regular basis, and the wounded, in addition to these two things, must have someone else to take care of them, and the people who take care of them cannot engage in social production, that is to say: they have more social resources than the dead people, and those who have the ability to work after the injury are fine, but those who are disabled by injuries and lose the ability to work are difficult."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan sighed and thought: "The Japanese army tunnel on Iwo Jima is only eighteen kilometers long, and the American army has lost 30,000 people in the attack, and the Japanese army position in Hamgyong Mountain is only as deep as more than 50 kilometers, and the length of the tunnel is not known how many roads there are, the Japanese army has been operating the fortifications of Hamgyong Mountain since the occupation of Korea, and it has been more than two years now, how difficult the Japanese army's fortifications will be, you can imagine!" ”

"And these tunnels seem to have added a protective shield to their high-tech weapons, and it is difficult for their high-tech weapons to effectively kill the personnel inside the tunnels, although they have powerful ground-penetrating bombs, but ground-penetrating bombs cannot penetrate hundreds of meters thick mountains!"

"Therefore, if we want to lay down these tunnels, the only way is to use soldiers to search and clear tunnel by tunnel, so that we will attack the enemy's strength with our own shortcomings, and the losses will be very large!" The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that this battle was extremely difficult, and he couldn't help frowning.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, Lin Yuan went over and opened the door, only to see Shen Wanqing walking in with a thermos lunch box, Lin Yuan thought to himself, "Is she here to deliver food?" Now that breakfast has just passed and lunch has not arrived, why does she want to bring me food? ”

At this time, Shen Wanqing put the lunch box on the table and said with a smile: "I made a cake with my own hands, do you want to taste it, this is my new learning." ”

Lin Yuan's mind was still stuck on what happened just now, his face was very ugly, Shen Wanqing thought that he was blaming himself for not doing his job, and couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "Today is my day off!" Can't I have some life outside of work? ”

Lin Yuan came back to his senses and said, "Oh, it's good......" Shen Wanqing smiled without waiting for him to finish, "Hurry up and try it." After speaking, when she opened the lunch box, a strong milky fragrance wafted out of it, and Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "I have been with the French minister's wife recently, my main business is to find out information, and my side business is to learn to cook food......

Suddenly, Shen Wanqing saw Lin Yuan's eyes light up, and muttered: "Cakes, grain, by the way, how can I ignore this!" Shen Wanqing was just about to ask Lin Yuan what he thought, when he grabbed his arm, a pain came from his arm, Shen Wanqing couldn't help but sneer: "It hurts......"

Lin Yuan said excitedly: "Wanqing, hurry up and help me check how much food there is in the core fortifications of the Japanese army!" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "How can I check? ”

Lin Yuan said: "This is easy, the grain of the Japanese army is transported from Japan, and the places where it is sent are recorded in the port, and the secrecy of the port is very lax, and your people will definitely be able to get it." ”

Shen Wanqing let out an "oh" and said coquettishly: "I remembered, there is indeed something in this regard, okay, I'll check it out." Today is my day off, but I still have to work......" She said as she walked out, Lin Yuan looked at the map and thought: "In the face of the Japanese army's fortifications, why don't I come and avoid the truth!" The center of gravity of the Japanese army's defense is now on Hamgyongsan, and the support of Hamgyong Mountain is Cheongjin, if I land from the sea and take Cheongjin directly, then I will stab the Japanese army in the weakest place! ”

"When I take Qingjin, I will cut off the connection between Qingjin and Hamgyong Mountain, and then calculate how many days the Japanese army's food stock can last according to the data given to me by Wanqing, and then trap the Japanese army, and wait until the Japanese army is dying of hunger before launching an attack, or be more ruthless, and starve them to death in the mountains!"
