In order to win this battle, Zhao Zhiguo simulated the environment closest to the battlefield for the soldiers.

Not only the soldiers were training, but Zhao Zhiguo was also practicing on the sand table over and over again.

"Qin Weitong, how many square meters of houses collapsed in the city?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"The yard is quite big, and the house seems to be only about 100 square meters." Qin Weitong recalled, "Commander, that area is not safe. If we send troops there, we might be ambushed by the Japanese army on the way."

Qin Weitong once visited a collapsed house in Heyun County. He concluded that the collapsed house was probably related to the underground fortifications built by the Japanese army.

Underground construction work passed under the houses, causing the foundations of the houses to become unstable, leading to collapses.

"More than a hundred square meters, it's not small!"

Cleaning up the collapsed ruins is not an easy task, let alone finding the entrance to the tunnel among the ruins.

"The beams and walls almost all collapsed in one piece. It is difficult to clean them manually alone unless we blast."

Huge beams and walls cannot be easily moved by one or two soldiers.

"After entering the city, our troops also need to go underground." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Even if there are commandos who can control the most dangerous places in advance.

But when attacking Heyun County, there will inevitably be remnants of the Japanese army that survive by chance.

The remaining Japanese troops took the opportunity to burrow underground. They would not surrender easily, so the combat troops from the First Army Division were required to go underground and pull out the little devils one by one.

"We will use this place as a preliminary attack point. If it is necessary to send additional troops underground, we can quickly enter the underground from here after occupying the surface fortifications."

The place of collapse is also the place that is most easily ignored.

"Commander, the soldiers of the first and second echelons have been selected."

Yao Pengju selected the first and second echelons of offense through recent training.

"How many people are there in the first echelon?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"The eighty soldiers of the special force plus the 200 soldiers of the conventional combat force." Yao Pengju said, "The soldiers of the special force are responsible for fighting in the tunnels, and the remaining 200 soldiers are responsible for seizing the Japanese arsenal, and some soldiers are left behind to assist the Japanese army.

Second echelon.”

The second echelon consists of 400 soldiers, responsible for seizing the Japanese military camp.

The remaining troops participating in the training are organized into the third echelon. Whether they can be used is unknown. However, when the attack is launched, they will stay in the tunnel as a reserve team. When the large force launches an attack, they will move into the tunnel.

support.

"Have you ever considered that the Japanese army would blow up the tunnel entrance?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

Once the Japanese army discovered that a large number of Chinese soldiers appeared in the tunnel, they might jump over the wall and directly blow up the entrance and exit of the tunnel, sealing the Chinese army in the tunnel forever.

"Each assault team has a demolition team, and each team will carry enough demolition explosives. If an exit cannot be found, the demolition team will blow up an exit," Yao Pengju said.

Zhao Zhiguo nodded silently after hearing Yao Pengju's report.

"Send a special force of soldiers to Gao Cang, especially snipers, and send more." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Gao Cang's brigade was the main force attacking Heyun County.

If you break through the city wall and enter the city, you will start a street battle with the Japanese army.

When street fighting begins, aircraft and artillery will lose their effect. A soldier with good marksmanship can often influence the casualties of an army.

"Lao Gao sent a telegram this morning asking when we would launch an attack on Heyun County," Yao Pengju said.

"Is he impatient to wait, or are his soldiers impatient to wait?"

"There was no impatience. He was afraid that the troops attacking from the tunnel had not arrived yet. He dug the tunnel first and then was discovered by the Japanese army."

A tunnel that had never been used by the Japanese army suddenly appeared in the tunnel. The little devil would soon understand that it was dug by the Chinese army outside the city.

As long as a machine gun is set up at the junction of the tunnels, no one will be able to enter through the tunnels.

"Tell Gao Cang that all the soldiers of the commando team will arrive at the front line of Heyun County tonight. When the tunnel is dug, it will be the time for our army to launch an attack on Heyun County."

Everything is based on the progress of the commando team.

Only when the commandos control most of the uncertain factors in Heyun County can the main attacking troops be free to unleash a thunderous offensive on the Japanese forces in Heyun County.

"I'll give the order right away!"

After a long period of hard work, the tunnel has been extended to the vicinity of the tunnel dug by the Japanese army.

In the originally dark tunnel, the Japanese army laid enough wires and lighting connections.

The soldiers on both sides were only separated by a wall at this time, but the Chinese soldiers responsible for digging the tunnel only knew the approximate location. As for how thick the distance was, they did not know.

Most of the Japanese troops did not move into the tunnel at this time, and only a small number of Japanese troops were stationed in the tunnel.

There are no patrols in the tunnel, only a few sentries and firepower points guarding each section of the tunnel.

"Brigade commander, the commando team has arrived."

After the commando team completed their training mission, they only had a half-day off. Then they assembled and came to the front line.

This war needs them, and they must devote themselves to this battle without hesitation.

Every soldier in the commando team was prepared to fight the Japanese army desperately.

"Tell them that we may be able to dig a tunnel later tonight or tomorrow morning, and they should be ready to fight."

Gao Cang had no intention of seeing the commando team, he wanted to deploy an offensive mission.

On the eve of the general offensive, in the entire Heyun County area, apart from the commandos, there was only one main brigade, Gao Cang and his companions.

After the commando operation, the follow-up troops will quickly move closer to Heyun County and then surround Heyun County again.

Before the general offensive is launched, Gao Cang still has many tasks to do.

After the commando team arrived at the front line, they entered the tunnel without any hesitation and set off towards the end of the tunnel.

What awaits them ahead are all unknown things. Whether there are Japanese troops or not, and whether there is poison gas are all unknown.

"Brigadier Commander, gas masks have been distributed to combat troops."

They must be prepared for the Japanese army to release poison gas on a large scale in the city.

"Did the commandos carry gas masks?" Gao Cang asked.

"They have enough gas masks," the staff officer said. "Brigadier commander, should we delay another night and launch the attack tomorrow night? Without the cover of night, the Japanese artillery and aircraft will not be able to exert their power."

They had tried bombing by Japanese aircraft, which could cause them huge casualties.

"When attacking at night, the firepower deployed by the Japanese army poses a greater threat to us," Gao Cang said.

The Japanese troops were already in the dark, but they were in the open. At night, it was even harder to spot the Japanese machine gun firepower.

"Report to the brigade commander and Deputy Chief of Staff Yao via telegram that the special operations team has dispatched nearly a hundred sharpshooters who will assist us in the battle after our army enters the city."
