Erhuzi didn't agree with digging the hole. He thought for a while and said, "The enemy is coming, we will definitely defeat them. I don't have to work hard to tinker with this trick."

"You can't think about everything well, what if you can't stop it?" Meng Youtian rolled his eyes and said, "The food in the village and the property of the villagers will be ruined by the enemy. In that way, even if they are not killed by the enemy, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind."

"Can't stop it? Then let the villagers run away. It's not that there have been any unstoppable actions." Erhuzi didn't care much, "Besides, this cave is deeper and longer than the sweet potato cellars of each family, and isn't there any tricks!"

"Run, how can you think everyone is as smart as your legs?" Meng Youtian said angrily: "I'll say it again. This is called authenticity, not a cave. You said sweet potato cellar, what kind of trick is that? Are you blind to fooling the enemy? Hiding there, throwing a grenade and then holding it to you."

"Okay, don't fight." Xiaoquan hurriedly persuaded: "Arita has a correct vision, let's just listen to him. It's better to spend some effort now than to be killed and robbed in the future!"

Meng Youtian nodded and said slowly: "You say I am timid or afraid of death, but I have to explain some things. It is not that easy to fight against Japanese devils. It's not a year or two, and it will be a very difficult and cruel struggle. It will go beyond your expectations and many people will die."

Erhuzi and Xiaoquan exchanged glances with each other, and were somewhat skeptical.

"Digging tunnels can not only protect the lives of big guys, but also their property. I have always believed that everything should be considered from the worst possible and to make the most complete prevention. Digging tunnels can be used as a hiding place; and secondly, it can strengthen all the food and property, so that even if the enemy kills them, the loss of big guys will be reduced a lot. If the enemy retreats, they can continue to live." Meng Youtian continued: "Let's not do the things that are learned from the pain and repair the problem. When something happens, it will be too late to do whatever you say."

"Look, we will understand if the explanation is detailed." Xiao Quan quietly gave Erhuzi a wink, and Erhuzi also smiled and said, "I understand, I understand, let's continue digging, so that even if the Japanese come, they can't catch any hair."

"Let's start with the village protection team. Each team member has to dig tunnels at home and first store the grain in the charity warehouse." Meng Youtian said: "Then promote it in the whole village and connect the households. This will be almost done. If the enemy comes, you will fight, and if you can't beat it, you will get into the tunnel."

"Our families are not resting, they are all digging." Xiaoquan once again expressed his support for Meng Youtian and secretly stabbed Erhuzi.

"My family is digging too. It just so happens that my father has bad legs and feet. I have a real tunnel to hide, so I can rest assured." Erhuzi said, scratching his head.

"Don't fool me, I have to supervise it." Meng Youtian said: "The soil dug by each company is transported to the broken earth kiln, and the bricks and tiles are opened to repair the houses for everyone, and the other is to repair the houses along the street into walls, so that the safest thing is."

"You can do whatever you say." Erhuzi nodded helplessly, "Who told me to convince you!"

"Haha, Youtian, when will you and Zijuan do business?" Xiao Quan smiled and said, "Let's dig out first, and then I'll come over every night to listen to the news."

"Who is there?" Meng Youtian was so angry.

The tunnel warfare has been recorded in China since ancient times, including records in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, but it was a helpless move that was forced to be ineffective in the modern War of Resistance Against Japan. The predecessor of the tunnel warfare was the Taogou tunnel warfare in the Anti-Japanese Base Area of ​​the Hebei Plain, but it was not common and incomplete at that time.

It was not until the Japanese sweep in 1942 that the struggle environment was extremely cruel. In order to facilitate our military and civilians to insist on the plains' struggle against the enemy, based on the experience of carrying out tunnel warfare over the past few years, the military and civilians led the military and civilians to further carry out tunnel warfare in the vast plains.

The tunnels in the early stage were mainly for the hidden struggle of local cadres in our local governments. In the residential courtyards of some party members or "fortress households", small holes that can accommodate one or two people were dug. Although this tunnel played a certain role in the anti-"sweeping", it was very inflexible. Once discovered by the enemy, it could not be avoided. In order to make it difficult for the enemy to find the hole, the entrance of the hole was gradually improved or dug two floors, repaired two holes, or connected and dug through (). In this way, although there was a certain degree of flexibility, it could only be used as a temporary place to hide and hide.

In 1943, tunnel warfare entered a new stage of development. In some places, the tunnel networks of houses, streets, and villages were gradually formed, forming internal and external defenses, cooperation and attacking the enemy. In the cruel battle, the tunnels were constantly improved, the entrances of the cave were cleverly camouflaged, and traps were built, mines were buried, sharp knives were inserted, or crisscrossing chessboard roads were dug in the cave. In order to prevent the enemy from destroying the tunnel with water, fire, and poison, there were also checkpoints, flap, anti-virus, and waterproof doors in the cave, or digging the tunnels high and low, thick and thin, and a breakthrough entrance directly to the outside of the village. In this way, the tunnels became underground fortresses that can be attacked, defended, and retreated.

Meng Youtian did not hesitate to make the proposal of digging tunnels at this time. Although everyone was very enthusiastic at this time, they did not understand the difficulties and cruelty of the Anti-Japanese War, and the work was still difficult to advance. But he also knew that it would not take a long time to dig into an underground fortress. It would be impossible to get into a sedan chair and look at the ears and eyes. Do you have to be forced to do it? Do you have to pay a heavy price to think of the benefits of authenticity?

After packing up, the three of them walked onto the street and heard a strange knock. Turning around the corner, two people came towards me. One was a thin black boy with two cow hips in his hand and sang while knocking, "There has been a different era. After the Qing Dynasty, it was the Republic of China. The rich still wore silk and satin, and the poor wore barefoot as shoes. Everyone, the old and young, listened to me..."

The boy also held a bamboo pole under his armpit, followed by a middle-aged blind man with messy hair and a messy beard. He was carrying a erhu on his shoulder, holding a bamboo pole in his left hand, and carrying a small gong on his face. After the boy finished singing, he knocked on it a few times and said loudly: "Everyone, we are here to the treasure land and sing two passages at the entrance of the village temple tonight. Everyone is here to appreciate it. Please give me some food and drink and help with some plate fees."

The two of them sang and said, walking around the streets of the village.

"We'll go to watch the fun after dinner. We haven't been talking about music for a long time." Xiaoquan is a young man, so it's inevitable that he is so novel and lively.

"Yes!" Meng Youtian nodded casually, looking at the backs of the two artists who were leaving, a little suspicious, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
