At the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army in Pingyang Town, Major General Fujita felt that victory was very close to him, and he always had a smile on his face no matter what he did.

"Brigade leader..."

The chief of staff rushed in.

"I just came back from the front line. Our method of blasting the tunnel worked."

"Follow the underground passage from the town to the outside of the town and blast all the way towards the center of the town. We have reached the edge of the town."

"The Eighth Route Army hiding inside must have been cornered."

"He even ran to the tunnel entrance to attack the engineers."

"Isn't this asking for death?"

"After a sudden burst, we were repulsed by the frontline warriors."

"Not only were there heavy casualties, but a large number of tunnels were also lost."

"If we continue the bombing at the current pace, we will be able to reach the center of the town by tomorrow morning at most."

Major General Fujita seemed to have seen the victory scene of annihilating his opponents. The smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and he looked at the chief of staff and said confidently.

"Do you know ground rats, the kind that specialize in stealing food?"

"Hayi..."

The chief of staff nodded, but he didn't understand what the battle in front of him had to do with the gopher.

"When I was a kid, I saw farmers killing field rats in the countryside."

Major General Fujita explained with a meaningful expression.

"Countless rats were forced out of their holes and wandered around the fields."

"The farmer is guarding the entrance of the cave with a shovel."

"A mouse came out and beat one to death. The scene made me very relieved."

The chief of staff finally understood and said with a look of enlightenment.

"I see."

"General, you compare the Eighth Route Army hiding in the tunnels to ground rats, and treat them as ground rats to fight with."

"Don't you think it's different?" Major General Fujita asked with a smile.

"Like, very similar..."

The chief of staff kept nodding his head like a chicken eating food.

"When we blast all the way to the center of the town, the Eighth Route Army hiding inside will definitely rush out of the tunnel."

"The warriors are guarding the entrance of the cave with rifles."

"A few come out and kill a few. The scene is really like what you said about farmers shooting gophers."

Major General Fujita immediately answered: "Then why are you still standing here?"

"Deploy more troops to guard the entrance of the cave. You can't lose it even if you say nothing."

The chief of staff was convinced: "I'll go to safety now."

…………

At ten o'clock in the evening, eight demolition teams set up by the Japanese army in the afternoon successfully entered the town.

Each demolition team is composed of an engineering unit, a company of puppet troops, and a reinforced squad of infantry.

Match each other and quickly approach the center of the town.

"Rumble..."

In the violent explosion, another section of the tunnel was blown up, and thick smoke mixed with dust spewed out from the tunnel mouth.

Without saying a word, the leader of the Japanese team led the troops and rushed towards the explosion point.

The gunpowder exploded underground, reaching its maximum power and creating a large crater more than four meters deep on the spot.

When you step on it, you will find at least ten centimeters of floating soil.

A dozen puppet soldiers rushed into the pit with engineering shovels and started digging without any need to be greeted by the Japanese.

The tunnel was half a meter to one meter deep under their feet. A dozen people worked together and quickly dug out a new tunnel entrance.

A Japanese assault team immediately stepped forward.

A dozen puppet soldiers immediately gave up their positions and watched with respect as they ran to the tunnel entrance.

Grenades opened the way, machine gun assaults, and quickly entered the tunnel...

"Boom boom..."

Two explosions suddenly sounded not far from the tunnel entrance, and thick smoke spewed out. The two engineers who were about to approach the tunnel were confused. They could neither advance nor retreat, and then there was no movement in the tunnel.

"Baga, something happened to the assault team..."

The face of the leader of the Japanese team suddenly became particularly ugly, and he frowned and ordered.

"Take another assault team and watch your step. The explosion just now looked like a landmine."

The four little devils who were standing by immediately got into the tunnel...

"Boom boom boom..."

Three explosions reached the squad leader's ears again, but they did not come from the tunnel.

Three fireballs shot up at the same time more than ten meters away from him.

Under the darkness of night, the flames produced by the explosion were particularly dazzling, and five or six soldiers on guard were knocked over at the same time.

"Da da da……"

The sound of machine gun fire also rang out, in a ruins less than forty meters away from him.

Flames spurted out from the barrel of the gun, and the long tongues of flame showed that it was crooked.

Bullets flew over and took away the lives of three subordinates again.

"Enemy attack..."

The squad leader lay down on the ground, pulled out his command knife and pointed at the position of the machine gun to give an order.

"The machine gun will fight back immediately. Kill the sneak attacker for me."

The Kwantung Army reacted very quickly, and two crooked weapons immediately joined the battle.

The bullets hit the ruins as if they were free.

"Boom boom..."

Two grenades hit the area at the same time, causing fire to shoot into the sky. Countless bricks and soil were blown away, illuminating the surrounding area, but there was no sign of the attacker.

"Bage Ya Road, there is a tunnel entrance there, and the Eighth Road slipped through the tunnel..." the leader of the Japanese team cursed bitterly.

Seeing that the assault team hiding in the pit had not yet entered the hole, they became even more angry and cursed again.

"Continue to blast forward..."

"I want to destroy the tunnel entrances and exits there and cut off all retreat routes for the Eighth Route Army."

"Force them all out of the tunnel and have to fight us on the ground."

Gunshots and explosions soon rang out in the tunnel, followed closely by two engineers.

Half a minute later, the firefight in the tunnel suddenly stopped, and there was no movement at all, as if the assault team and the two engineers had disappeared inexplicably.

"What's going on?" The squad leader had a puzzled look on his face.

Under normal circumstances, the assault team should quickly evacuate the tunnel with the engineers, and the explosives deployed by the engineers exploded immediately...

But this didn't happen.

After waiting for another half minute, there was still no movement in the tunnel.

The squad leader became even more anxious, vaguely guessing that something had happened to the soldiers inside.

Just as we were about to arrange for another assault team to enter the tunnel and fight the Eighth Route Army inside to the end, the familiar sound of machine gun fire rang out again, and the fire point was less than 30 meters away from the one that had just been bombed.

The squad leader had a strong premonition in his mind.

The Eighth Route Army that was shooting now was the machine gun team that he tried to kill just now but was escaped by them.

This is simply like plucking a tiger's hair and seeking death.

The anger in my heart cannot be described in words.

He stopped pulling out his command sword and pointed at the fire point and roared loudly.
To be continued...
