Red Alert 1895

Chapter 380: Our engineers have strength (Part 2)

The engineers of the Taiwan Army began to dig tunnels from the trenches, and then dug towards the camp one kilometer away. And this tunnel is only one kilometer, which is not too long, and as long as it is dug straight, it can be excavated in the shortest distance. And digging tunnels is the strength of the engineers, especially the Taiwan army has multi-functional engineering shovels, which makes them like a fish in water. This multi-functional engineering shovel is entirely for the purpose of allowing soldiers to provide civil engineering excavation, and civil engineering operations will be the strength of our army in later generations, so Wang Guorui also attaches great importance to this combat method. After all, for a long time in the future, civil warfare will be very important. Civil engineering can stop the enemy's firepower, tanks, and even the bombing of aircraft and artillery. As long as good civil engineering can be built, it can greatly reduce your own casualties. Although the firepower of the Taiwanese army is fierce, it does not mean that they do not pay attention to protection. If they do not pay attention to protection, their own side will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. It is also impossible for the Taiwanese army to gain superiority in firepower for a long time, and there are always times when it is at a local disadvantage. At this time, the cover of civil engineering is very important.

On the Spaniard's side, they didn't find that the Taiwanese army had dug towards them, and they were still relatively leisurely. They even rested in the trenches. And Taiwan's artillery fire is still ringing, and those Spaniards have also mastered certain anti-aircraft skills, that is, hiding in the cat's ear hole and not coming out, this can avoid most of the indirect damage of artillery and ensure that most soldier's life. And if hit directly. That's unlucky for you, you can't blame others.

However, it was also because of the rumbling sound of the cannon. The enemy soldiers didn't notice that a group of engineers were already digging tunnels underground in the front position, and they didn't know that the tunnel ahead would bring them great harm in the future.

"Now, we are not only facing the enemy's artillery pressure, but also the tunneling and sneak attack just now failed. What should we do next?" Boris asked.

And all the Spanish officers on the scene had nothing to do, because everyone had no good way, so they all wanted to solve this problem. If a breakthrough cannot be achieved for a long time, then it will definitely face a very miserable situation. In particular, the enemy's artillery has too much advantage. This advantage is actually a real conspiracy, directly using firepower to attack you. You can't look up at all. And the Spanish soldiers who were bombed by artillery were all demoralized and had no idea of ​​fighting. Now if Taiwan takes the opportunity to attack, then they may all face a very dangerous situation.

"I see. We might as well use cavalry!" Someone said immediately.

"Cavalry?" Boris said, frowning.

However, the Spanish frontline commanders didn't know what the senior officers in the rear were doing, and they were still hiding in the cat's ear holes. And they all found something unusual, because they found that the earthworms were different.

"Platoon leader, earthworms seem to have come out, making me feel uncomfortable!" a Spanish soldier said.

And the platoon leader was obviously not an engineer. He said, "There is no problem. Anyway, the earthworms move normally, so what's the problem?"

This has to be said about the difference between professional engineers and ordinary soldiers. If it is an engineering staff member, the effect may be different. Because the engineering staff is an engineering staff prepared for combat, there are currently professional engineering staff in the Taiwan army. Their duty is to be responsible for the planning and construction of engineering facilities in war, and to help commanders from an engineering point of view to formulate situations that destroy enemy's engineering facilities. And these engineering staff are very familiar with changes in natural geography, and this is something that the Spaniards simply do not have. After all, Taiwan has a professional military academy and has rich experience and teachings for later generations. There are even a small number of soldiers of the red police system in the engineering corps. They are very familiar with and sensitive to these geographical changes and can allow officers to make judgments as soon as possible.

But although those Spaniards also have engineers. But it is not enough for them to have engineering staff. Engineering soldiers and engineering staff are completely different things. They basically have two levels of ideological attitudes towards civil engineering construction. They did not regard civil warfare as a conventional combat method, but this time the Spaniards were able to take the initiative to use this method of excavation to attack. It was actually because Taiwan's artillery advantage was too strong, so they had to find ways to avoid it. The emphasis on this kind of civil engineering operations.

"Captain, we estimate that we are only about ten meters away from the enemy's first trench. Do we want to blow through directly? As long as we blow through, then we can attack directly." A demolitionist asked.

But the captain immediately said: "Don't explode yet, let's continue digging, this time we will play a big one, let them see that we can also kill a large number of enemies, and even kill fewer enemies than them."

"What? Continue to dig? If you dig again, I'm afraid we'll have to dig through. At that time, we'll be exposed!" the blaster asked immediately.

"It doesn't matter, when the time comes, you will have a chance to perform!" said the captain.

And soon, Taiwan's engineering soldiers also moved forward to dig. But the angle changed, and they dug down obliquely, and their goal was to dig under the Spaniard's tunnel. And this can avoid digging directly into the enemy's trenches, so that there is no need to be exposed. And this process is actually digging a passage under the Spanish trench, so that they can't find out that they dug a tunnel here, and then...

"Captain, we have dug to the bottom. If there is no accident, the top seems to be the enemy's trench. We can take care of them here." The digger said.

"Okay, let the blaster come over immediately, and then plant the explosives. We must let them drink a pot!" the captain said.

Soon, the demolitionists came forward from behind, and they began to pile up the explosives. And this method of demolition through civil engineering is also included in Wang Guorui's trench warfare training manual, because Wang Guorui is quite familiar with the trench warfare tactics of the First World War later, and he knows that the future will be a long time They all wanted to implement trench warfare tactics, so he also took out the trench warfare tactics of the first World War in later generations and wrote them into a rough drill, and then let those officers understand them step by step. And Taiwan's military officers will also learn and practice these tactics according to their own needs, and then allow them to continuously acquire new tactical methods, so that they can also learn the most advanced combat techniques.

"Platoon leader, it seems that there are voices below us?" A Spanish soldier said.

"What? There is a voice, you heard it right?" the Spanish platoon leader asked.

"No, there should be a sound!" The soldier said again.

The Spanish platoon leader took the initiative to put his ears under his trench, and then seemed to hear some sounds. However, when he didn't realize what was going on, suddenly a fire came out from under the trench, and then he didn't know what was going on.

"Boom—"

There was a loud noise, and a lot of flames exploded from the trenches, and then the first trench of the Spaniards began to explode together. And this kind of explosion caused heavy losses to the Spaniards, because there were many Spanish soldiers in the first trench, more than 20,000 people. But the Spaniard never thought that there would be an explosion under his feet, and they were all blown up to the sky by the power of the explosion. And this explosion caused most of the soldiers in the first trench to be lost on the spot, and then, none of the survivors could escape the attack of the Taiwan army.

"Commando, follow my tunnel!"

"kill!"

"Da da da da..."

The commandos started charging with submachine guns, and many of the Spaniards were killed, and a small number of survivors were missing arms and legs. Then they wanted to resist continuously, but in the end they were all shot down Make up the knife to kill ~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, Taiwan has considered that there is no need to rescue these enemies who lack arms and legs. After all, Taiwan's own medical resources are also insufficient. It's okay if it's a minor injury, but once it's a major injury, even Taiwanese people can't help it. At present, there are not many military doctors in Taiwan's army who can perform surgery, and they mainly do cosmetic surgery. And there is no one in the regiment who can do the disembowelment operation. Taiwan's military medical resources are so scarce, how could they be used by those foreign devils? So the best and most merciful way is to give them a shot, and then let them solve their pain, and then let their family get a pension from the Spanish government, so that's all right.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the commando in front of us has occupied the first trench of the Spaniards, let's send troops to completely occupy it!" Immediately, a signal soldier said.

"Okay, then send people over immediately and let the soldiers rush forward. The artillery stopped suppressing, and now the front is safe. This time, they were able to hold our trenches and break through the enemy's trenches, killing so many enemies. The engineer is the first Great work!" Ma Junhui, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, laughed.

"Come on! Go and occupy the Spanish trenches!"

Soon, countless soldiers also rushed from the rear to the front, and then successfully occupied the first trench of the Spaniards, and it was the first real result in this offensive and defensive battle. (to be continued)
