At this moment, almost all of Takeshi Shaosu's troops had been annihilated.

Left with no choice, Takeshi Shaosu could only ask Major General Otoki Shimono for help.

Yotoki Shigino was stunned once again.

"What's wrong with you guys?

Why couldn't the rebels be destroyed?”

Takeshi Shaosa replied helplessly,"

"The rebel army attacked from both sides and behind at the same time.

Their tunnels are everywhere,

It might be a dozen meters or a few meters away from us.

But these tunnels were hidden.

Our soldiers couldn't find the entrances in time!”

"Baka! You drop back first,

Tell me what happened!"

Major General Yotoki Shino roared.

"Hey!"

Major General Yotoki Shigino saw that there was only one brigade left.

I feel my blood boiling,

He could not understand.

How did the rebel army suddenly have such powerful combat strength?

Before the rebels betrayed Japan,

They didn't have such strong combat strength at all!

He had never used such an advanced tactic before!

After betraying Japan,

It was as if they had changed into an army.

Suddenly so difficult to deal with,

Right now, the Sixteenth Regiment had already lost over four thousand soldiers.

In the end, the rebel army's position remained unmoved!

One had to know that the 4,000-odd island army officers and soldiers…

They could already defeat a division of the Bald Army!

But now, he was killed by the rebel army!

How preposterous!

How could Major General Yotoki Shigino know?

The rebel commander was no longer a Japanese.

It was an Easterner.

An elite special forces commander who was proficient in all kinds of tactics!

Shozo Miyamoto, whose face was covered in blood, saluted Major General Yotoki Shimino.

Major General Yotoki Shigino returned the greeting.

Major General Yotoki Shigino asked,"

"Major, tell me what happened.”

"General, I need a pen and paper!"”

"Guards, bring a pen and paper for Takeshi!”

"Yes, sir! General!"

The guard brought a pen and paper.

Takeshi took it.

He began to draw on the paper.

At the same time, he explained,

"This is the top of the mountain.

The rebels had built trenches on top of the mountain,

There were also many observation posts.

In this way, the rebel army's grenade launchers and mortars could not be exposed.

We will launch a precise attack on our army!

However, we have no way of seeing the positions of the rebel artillery and infantry.

What was worse was that…

Their tunnels were built on high ground,

Moreover, these high grounds could cover each other.

We're going to attack one of the hills,

They would be attacked from behind or from the flanks by two or three people from high ground.

The entrances to these tunnels were hidden.

And when it was built,

He pointed the entrance at the rebel fortifications.

Our soldiers look out,

He could only see a patch of grass or a forest.

In reality,

The muzzles of the rebel soldiers are already aimed at the backs of our soldiers!”

Takeshi Shozo's analysis was agreed by Major General Yotoki Shimino.

This was the only explanation for why the rebels were not afraid of artillery and bombing.

They even repelled the attacks of the 19th Infantry Brigade.

After thinking it through,

Not only did Major General Yotoki Shigino not feel excited,

Instead, she became even more depressed.

How should they attack now?

If we attack the ridge first,

Undoubtedly, it would be the same as the last attack.

The rebels in the tunnel shot him in all kinds of ways.

They suffered heavy losses.

If we attack the tunnels first,

The attacking troops would then be attacked by the rebels at the ridge line.

Unless a large number of troops were mobilized.

Attack the ridge line and the tunnel at the same time!

However, in this way,

The 19th Infantry Brigade, which had already lost a lot of soldiers,

There weren't that many soldiers left!

Major General Yotoki Shigino couldn't think of any other way.

Although he knew that it would be embarrassing to do so,

He could only explain the situation to Lieutenant General Saburo Makino.

They hoped to get reinforcements.

Saburo Makino was shocked at first.

With such heavy losses,

He still didn't win?

However, after hearing about the rebel army's new position,

Saburo Makino also fell silent.

The rebel army's new position was indeed very difficult to deal with.

In the end, Lieutenant General Saburo Makino was transferred to the 33rd Infantry Regiment.

Let this regiment assist the 19th Infantry Brigade.

Attack the new rebel camp with full force.

Major General Yotoki Shimono divided the troops into five parts.

Attack the ridge position and several tunnels at the same time.

So they can't cover each other,

Although this still couldn't avoid the problem of the rebel soldiers hiding at the entrance of the tunnel,

However, the First Brigade of the 33rd Regiment finally managed to reach the high ground.

Shozo Ishii of the 33rd Regiment saw the entrance to the tunnel.

However, he still did not know what to do.

He made a call to Major General Yotoki Shigino,"

"General, we can see the entrance to the tunnel.

What should we do? Blow up the entrance?"

Major General Yotoki was stunned.

He did not answer immediately.

After the previous attacks,

Major General Yotoki Shigino understood that it was meaningless to blow up an entrance.

Because the rebel army's tunnels had many entrances and exits,

One or two of them had already been discovered.

It was useless.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Major General Yotoki Shigino said,

"Major, try to send troops into the tunnel!”

"Yes, sir! General!"

Shaosa Ishii agreed.

He hung up the phone.

Shozo Ishii chose a dozen quick-witted soldiers.

"Go down and kill the rebels inside!”

"Hey!"

More than a dozen Japanese brought along three crooked men.

Because there must be a lot of rebel soldiers in the tunnel.

If he didn't take a few more machine guns,

Their firepower was probably no match for the rebel army.

In addition, the Japanese had prepared two grenades.

I'm prepared to go down and ignore everything.

He threw out the grenade first.

Even if we can't blow up the rebels,

It could also blow up some dust to block the rebel army's vision.

After the dozen or so prepared Japanese entered the tunnel,

After throwing the grenade,

Then, he immediately took out his gun and fired fiercely at the darkness.

Of course, this was all in vain.

When Wang Bing asked the rebel soldiers to dig a tunnel,

He built a wall in the middle of the tunnel.

There were only a few shooting holes and observation holes on the wall.

The Japanese who came in fired their bullets at the wall.

The rebel soldiers behind the wall could easily kill the Japanese.

Therefore, Shaosa Ishii, who was outside, only heard a series of gunshots.

There was no movement below.

Shozo Ishii was stunned.

He knew that his soldiers were doomed.

There were so many rebels in the tunnels,

No matter how powerful these soldiers were,

They couldn't eliminate the rebel army so quickly.

However, Shaosa Ishii still held onto a trace of hope and shouted,"

"What's going on? The people inside are talking. How are you guys?”

Of course, no one answered poor Ishii Shaosa.

It was very quiet below.

It was as if there was no one inside.

This strange scene…

It made the ghosts outside feel their hair stand on end.

More than ten living people,

Within a few minutes,

They all died just like that?

Were there really rebels inside?

Shozo Ishii was still relatively calm.

He knew that the structure inside must have been specially designed.

It could greatly reduce the probability of being shot.

However, what kind of structure was it exactly?

Shaosa Ishii couldn't guess.

After the attacking devils entered the other tunnels,

It was also the same result.

In a tunnel.

After Shi Fen killed the last Japanese,

With a face full of admiration, he said to Wang Hai,

"Guild Leader, you're amazing.

To think that he could think of such a method.

The Japanese can't hit us!"

"Cough, this is also a conclusion from the experience of our predecessors on the battlefield.

It's not my credit." Wang Hai said.

"Tunnel tactics" were exchanged for the blood and lives of volunteer soldiers.

Wang Hai did not have the face to attribute all of this to himself.

However, he could not explain the source of the tactic.

He could only vaguely say that he was a senior.

Wang Hai from the 21st century,

The volunteers were naturally his seniors.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with saying that.

At this moment, Shaosa Ishii was even more helpless.

Now the rebels are in the dark,

Our side is in the open,

If this continued,

It was basically ineffective.

They would only lose the lives of their soldiers in vain.

Although the infantry of the island army was not worth much,

But he couldn't waste it like this, right?

Especially if he could not obtain any results!

Helplessly,

Shaosa Ishii had no choice but to call Major General Yotoki Shimino again."

"General, our attack is ineffective!

The structure of the tunnel is very interesting.

All our warriors died in vain!

This was a waste of the lives of the soldiers!

We can't continue fighting like this!"

Major General Yotoki Shimono's mouth twitched.

How could this be!

Damn it, these damn rebels.

How did it become so difficult to deal with?

Xiano Otomi helplessly gave the order,"

"Blow up the tunnel entrance and mark it.

Then come back!"

Hey! The general ordered us to retreat immediately!”

After Shaosa Ishii's army retreated,

The other groups of people also retreated.

These people brought even more bad news to Yotomi Shigino.

Ito Shaosa of the 19th Infantry Brigade said,"

"General, we were ordered to suppress the high ground at position 295.

However, we were suppressed by the 300 and 307 highlands!”

Another major said,

"General, when we were suppressing the 300-meter high ground,

They were suppressed by Highland 312 and Highland 317!”

General, when we were attacking Hill 312,

However, they were suppressed by Highland 307 and Highland 280!

Major General Yotoki Shimono understood.

This was simply a bottomless pit!

Suppress a high ground,

Will be supported by two high grounds,

To suppress these two high grounds,

They would be suppressed by the other four highlands.

To suppress the four high grounds,

They would face the suppression of eight highlands!

From the looks of it,

All the highlands in the Black Mountain.

They seemed to be able to cover for each other.

Only by sending troops to attack all the highlands,

Otherwise, there would be no effect!

Thinking of this,

Major General Yotoki Shigino's back was drenched in cold sweat.

The commander of the rebel army,

He was a terrifying opponent.

The rebel army withdrew from Shangxing County.

How long had it been?

The other party had commanded the rebel army to construct such a terrifying defensive fortification!

Now, if we want to take over the rebel camp,

It required a huge military force.

It was only possible to take it down with huge casualties.

However, the Sixteenth Regiment was clearly not strong enough.

Xianye Yiji really couldn't think of a way,

She could only call Saburo Makino again.

She explained her situation to him.

Saburo Makino was already numb and no longer angry.

The previous few attacks had failed.

Saburo Makino could still get angry.

There was a lot of such news now.

Saburo Makino seemed to be…used to it?

According to Major General Yotoki Shimono's report,

Saburo Makino pondered quietly.

What should he do now?

Retreat?

As soon as this thought arose,

Lieutenant General Saburo Makino denied it.

Against a mere 7,000 rebels,

The 25,000-strong Sixteenth Regiment retreated after suffering heavy losses.

If he really did that,

Saburo Makino could clearly understand his fate.

After a long time,

Saburo Makino said over the phone,

"Attack again!

This time, he used fire!

Burn all the oxygen in the tunnel,

I don't believe it.

People can still live without oxygen!"

"Hey!"

Major General Yotoki Shigino thought that this was a good idea.

It should be enough to threaten the rebel army, right?

The Japanese officer in charge of implementing the Burning Plan also thought that this method was not bad.

Burning oxygen! What a great idea!

These damned rebels,

This time, he deserved to die, right?

However, Wang Hai would not let this plan succeed.

At that time, the troops of the scenic country had also used napalm and flamethrowers.

Trying to suffocate the volunteers in the tunnel,

None of them succeeded.

Besides, the devils of the Sixteenth Regiment were only setting fire to the place.

Then it was even more impossible to succeed.

This time, the Japanese chose a few high-ground areas with poor cover.

Due to the terrain of some highlands,

It was difficult to make a good cover.

By choosing such a high ground to attack,

At least there would be fewer casualties.

Wang Hai was already prepared for the Japanese to start a fire.

Moreover, he had already instructed them beforehand.

If the enemy set fire to it,

What measures should he take?

In the beginning,

Shozo Ishii asked the soldiers to throw down a few burning briquettes.

Then, he asked the soldiers to pour a large amount of gasoline into the pit.

This way, the tunnel would quickly burn up.

The devils of the Sixteenth Regiment started to set fire.

The rebel soldiers at the front immediately saw it.

According to Wang Hai's instructions,

"Fire!" a Warrior shouted.”

The rebel soldiers behind him heard him.

"Fire!" he shouted.

After hearing this signal,

The rebel soldiers immediately ordered someone to take out a bag of sand that they had prepared.

Block the gun holes and observation holes.

And reinforced with shovels,

This was to ensure that the air on both sides could not circulate.

At the same time, he opened the spare vent.

These air holes were only a short distance from the ground.

If he didn't lie on the ground and observe carefully,

It was impossible to tell.

Moreover, there were many such ventilation holes.

Even if you're unlucky,

It didn't matter if a few were destroyed.

And with the devils of the Sixteenth Regiment burning like this,

Instead, it hindered the Sixteenth Regiment's attack.

Because the other side of the wall had run out of oxygen.

The devils of the Sixteenth Regiment either waited for the oxygen to slowly recover,

Either they attack with oxygen tanks…

What was worse was that…

The ghost soldiers of the Sixteenth Regiment were at a loss.

They could not see the enemy,

He could not see the results of the fire.

After burning five barrels of gasoline,

An officer looked at Shaozuo Ishii.

The meaning was obvious.

If he continued to burn,

Or should he go to the tunnel to see if the rebels were dead?

If it continued to burn,

When will it end?

The Sixteenth Regiment was an infantry division.

I didn't bring much gasoline.

What should he do after it was burned out?

If they sent someone in,

What if the rebel soldiers didn't die?

Wouldn't that be walking right into a trap?

Shozo Ishii looked at his soldiers.

Some people were already panicking.

He did not dare to look at Ishii Shaosa.

Shozo Ishii took a deep breath.

"Burn another barrel of oil and send more troops in!”

"Hey!"

The devil in charge of setting the fire agreed.

A barrel of gasoline was burned out again.

Shaosa Ishii made the soldiers wait for half an hour.

The air had probably recovered.

"Attack!"

Although the devils of the Sixteenth Regiment were afraid,

However, he still braced himself and agreed,

"Hey!"

After the fifteen Japanese entered the tunnel,

Shozo Ishii heard a voice he did not want to hear again.

" Da…da…da…" After a series of rapid gunshots,

The tunnel regained its peace.

Shaosa Ishii's expression was very ugly.

"Baka!" he cursed.

It was obvious that they had failed again…

Shaosa Ishii was helpless.

He reported the situation to Major General Yotoki Shigino.

Major General Yotoki Shigino could only report the details of the operation to Saburo Makino.

After all, this was the lieutenant general's idea.

He had to report all the results to her!

The report was very detailed.

However, Saburo Makino still found it hard to believe.

Don't the rebels need oxygen?

This was illogical!

"How long did you set the fire?”

"You are all at the entrance of the tunnel, but you can't get in?”

Saburo Makino asked a lot of questions over the phone.

Although Major General Yotoki Shigino had already explained in detail,

However, Lieutenant General Saburo Makino still felt that this matter was really bizarre!

Saburo Makino was speechless.

He could not figure out what was going on.

Why was the powerful Sixteenth Regiment unable to take down the Black Mountain that the Garrison Brigade was defending!

Good heavens,

The Sixteenth Regiment's advantage in terms of equipment and numbers was so obvious.

They had powerful artillery and air forces.

On the other hand, the rebel army…

There were only a few cannons.

There were no planes.

How could this battle end up like this?

What Saburo Makino didn't know was,

The tunnel tactic was only suitable against enemies with superior equipment.

If the enemy does not have the advantage in numbers and equipment,

There was no need for the tunnel tactic.

Saburo Makino wanted to organize another attack.

But he had no choice but to give up.

Because the sky was already dark!

When artillery is available during the day,

They cannot take the rebel positions,

Let alone at night?
