Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 116

Night falls!

Wakiita Jiro, who was still sitting in the wing headquarters, finally received news that made him a little bit happier.

According to the measurement, the Engineering Wing has already dug to a position 25 meters away from the warehouse in a straight line, basically reaching the predetermined goal.

Although this location is still far from the warehouse, it is not the ideal location for blasting, but if it is closer, the sound of excavation underground may be heard on the ground. There was an accident in the tunnel where the army's life was exchanged, and the captain of the third division's engineering regiment who came to supervise the work in person decided to call it a day.

The engineer officer obviously didn't notice when he checked the construction site and left. There were more and more water drops on the walls of the tunnel, densely packed out, and finally merged into a trickle and flowed down the earth wall. If it wasn't for The drainage was done well enough, and he would have had to swim out of the tunnel long ago.

Although they are both commanders, the commander of the combat soldiers is obviously higher than the commander of the engineer who only does rough work such as bridge construction and road construction. The commander of the engineer came to the 36th Infantry Regiment Headquarters to inform the good news in person.

Wakiban Jiro agreed to the suggestion of the Engineer Colonel without thinking for a long time, not because of his face, but because he urgently needed to kill his opponent.

The wording of the call from the Divisional Headquarters is no longer fierce. It is said that the battle report he has edited with great care is no longer on the desk of the Divisional Commander, but was torn into pieces by the furious Divisional Commander and thrown into the trash can.

If there is no progress, he is afraid that he will not be able to retire safely and return to the old age.

Naturally, in the face of the ardent hope of Chief Wakitajiro, the Chief Engineer also patted his chest to ensure that he would not look far away, but with scientific planning and a large enough amount of explosives, it would definitely make the big monster of the Sixing Warehouse unbearable. .

Watching teams of engineers carrying explosives into the tunnel, the two Japanese commanders happily imagined the future.

Naturally, they couldn't see the end of the tunnel. There were already large clods of soil falling down. At this time, water droplets no longer oozed out of the soil wall, but finger-thick water flowed out from everywhere.

The Japanese engineers and soldiers who were still in the tunnel were completely stunned. They did not understand what happened. After digging for more than 400 meters, this situation did not happen. Why did the water seepage accident happen when they reached the warehouse?It is 80 meters away from Suzhou Creek!

However, the Japanese engineers and soldiers had a lot of experience. They turned around and ran back and forth after a short period of ignorance. They knew too well that flooding accidents were terrible, and once they happened, they were irreparable.

However, they are still too late.

Although the water flow is still increasing, the drainage in the tunnel can no longer keep up with the speed of the water inflow, but sadly, the tunnel is not only long, but also thin in order to keep up with the progress of the project. As soon as Sa Yazi ran, he bumped into the engineer carrying the heavy explosive box head-on, and it was really a mess.

If it is replaced by combat soldiers, there are strict military disciplines, and order can be maintained with one order, but the engineers
Obviously, they don't have this kind of ability for the time being. In the panic, even the engineering captain in charge was squeezed down, and then stepped into the calf-deep water by the panicked engineers, becoming the first unlucky person to be drowned in water .

What makes the engineers even more painful is that everyone here wants to run out, and the two chiefs outside, in order to get rid of the giant Sihang Warehouse at one time, kept adding more explosives. One tunnel made 2000 kilograms, and vowed to blow up the warehouse. earth plane.

It takes two people to carry 50 kilograms, and 2000 people to carry 80 kilograms. The mighty team lined up more than 200 meters in the tunnel. It took five or six minutes for the engineers at the back to know what happened in front of them. It's after that.

However, it’s not that the Japanese engineers who were already in a hurry felt that their companions were even more stupid, but that when the engineers carrying the explosives retreated back, they still carried the explosives box and did not let go.
At the end of the empty tunnel, the water flow on the wall is no longer water flow, but a water column.

Thumb-thin water jets spray out from all parts of the wall. As the water washes away, larger pieces of mud peel off and the water jets become thicker.

Finally, when a water column as thick as the mouth of a bowl appeared, the soil wall collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

'boom! ' After a muffled sound, the waterway in the warehouse, which was already level with the ground, suddenly dropped, and then a large amount of water from the Suzhou River poured in again.

Visible to the naked eye, the flow rate of water in the two channels suddenly became extremely fast, and everyone knew that the Japanese tunnel had collapsed.

The tunnel has become a waterway.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of the Japanese army from now on is that they can drink water from the Suzhou Creek in their own positions without much effort.

That is, the taste of soaking in corpse water is definitely not too good.

The good mood of the two Japanese commanders ended when the tunnel began to flow a lot of water. They watched in amazement as the creek turned into a river, and soon, it became rough.

The sudden rush of water almost didn't send the two stunned chiefs into a big somersault, if it wasn't for the guards in charge of guarding the side who quickly pulled the two to a slightly higher position.

Is this a river dug through?
Seeing the continuous flow of water rushing out of the tunnel with the feces-yellow figure, Jiro Wakibata had only one thought in his mind, and the tears that burst out of his eyes were nothing compared to the water in the tunnel river. How much less.

Wakibajiro's sorrow is that he planned the shocking explosion for two days and then went bankrupt, and for the other chief who screamed to save people, the engineers who rushed out of the waves were what hurt him. Heartfelt.

Although the engineering wing is a wing-level establishment, as a special unit, it has more than 700 personnel. The two tunnels have a total of nearly [-] personnel, which is basically the establishment of an engineering squadron.

The sappers rushing out with the water in the front had bulging stomachs like frogs. They were obviously full of water, but because of the short time, they were still a little angry after rescuing several people in a row. They were also out of breath, the kind that mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration was useless.

And those who didn't come out, let alone, as long as they can't transform into swords and break through the five-meter-thick soil layer, they can only honestly become water ghosts, and there is no other way to go.

An engineering squadron, ten out of ten!

The Japanese army commander's tears were much more surging than Jiro Wakibata's. After all, he dug the tunnel, and all the people who died were his own.

In fact, not only the two chiefs were sad, but for the Japanese infantry, they were also depressed when there were two more water outlets on the ground.

The terrain of Zhabei District is higher and higher as it goes south, otherwise, the Suzhou River would not rush through the tunnel to the Japanese army's position.

And let it flow to the battlefield, and because a lot of trenches and traffic trenches have been dug in the past two days, doesn't the water flow along?

The ground was already wet, and the sun had finally dried it out in the past two days. This is great, it's wet again.

The Japanese infantry jumped out of the trenches in a hurry, watching the water flow and wreak havoc on the position, almost didn't thank the eight generations of ancestors of the stupid engineers.

Under the moonlight in late autumn, beside the small river, a bonfire is lit, and the big guys are eating meat, drinking sake and singing songs. The cliff is a very pleasant time in life.

But if this scene is changed to, on the battlefield, in the swamp, in the cold weather, they dare not ignite to prevent the shells, and now even the bottom of the butt is wet, how does it feel?
Can it be terrible?

You have to fill in the hole you dug yourself with tears in your eyes, right?
Waking up from his grief, Jiro Wakibata saw his camp was about to be turned into a swamp by the gushing water, and looked at the engineer officer over there with dull eyes, and he was already stupid. Anyway, the engineers who were still inside must not be saved. He simply didn't discuss with this person, and called directly to the squadron directly under the wing headquarters.

Block the water outlet.

Under the moonlight, teams of Japanese soldiers carried sandbags and threw them to the water outlet.

That scene was really spectacular!
It blinded the Japanese military reporter.

This is coming to China to fight floods!
