Chapter 772: Cut the cable

After facing a huge number of casualties, the Qi army had to go back to the original starting point. If you want to win the position of the Qin army, you must adopt a more stupid way, that is, to dig trenches for siege.

Faced with the crazy killing of machine guns in the open area. Qi Jun can only narrow this gap as much as possible.

"Sir, those Qi troops have been digging trenches across from us. These trenches are approaching us bit by bit." A Qin Jun observation post observed.

"En. I see." A kind of captain officer of Qin Jun checked the telescope handed by the soldier.

"They just keep digging like this?" the captain asked.

"Yes. It's been digging like this for a whole morning." The soldier said.

"Can we take any measures?" the captain asked.

"This, we have tried it. It didn't work," the soldier said.

"Well, what method do you use?" the captain asked.

"Machine gun shooting. There are also rifles for precise shooting, but they are all hiding in the trenches. We can only see through the binoculars that they are constantly clearing the excavated soil. We can do nothing but these." The soldier replied. Tao.

"Well, order the machine gun. Shoot it and see." said the captain.

"Yes, sir," the soldier replied. Then Qin's machine gun began to fire.

"Tututu. Tututu." The machine gun fired three consecutive bursts at the continuously excavated soil.

"Oh. Damn." The captain saw clearly with his binoculars that the bullet hit only the dirt. In response, Qi Jun kept clearing the soil out.

"It seems that our machine gun is not working." The captain said helplessly.

"Monitor them closely. Use machine guns as much as possible. Remember, machine guns have to change positions constantly," the captain said.

"Sir, can we make an attack with mortars," the soldier suggested.

"This, yes, but there are not many shells. And the effect is not very obvious. I will report, all right. Hold the position." The captain said. Subsequently, the captain reported the new situation to the field commander. But the commander can't help it. Because mortars need a certain density to be effective. But obviously this situation is beyond their capabilities.

"It is impossible for us to launch artillery attacks on those mound targets again and again. Moreover, we don't have much ammunition. We need to use them when the enemy is launching an attack. In these cases, we can't do anything about it," the major explained.

"Okay. I'll report these to the people above." The major continued.

"Sergeant. Connect me to the tower. I need to pay attention to the situation here, and explain the situation here in detail to the above, so that they can find a way to solve this problem for us as soon as possible." The major said.

And when the major asked the sergeant to explain the situation. Qi Jun discovered a major secret here.

"Hey, the old head covering. Look, what kind of cane is this." A new soldier discovered a novel thing during the continuous digging process. This kind of thing is buried in the soil, and at the same time, it is as soft as a tree. But it is not the root of a plant. This kind of plant root is exactly the cable line that Qin Jun buried in the ground. The cable is an important tool for the Qin army to keep in touch with each other while using firepower to suppress opponents. These cables are also the telephone lines between the Qin Army in the warehouse defense area and the tower area. At the same time, another cable was buried together with the telegraph cable laid out by the Qin Army. In order to complete the construction of the airport as soon as possible, the engineering team adopted a single buried cable. According to the original plan, the cables were separated, but now, both cables have been found.

"Oh, that's right, I haven't seen this thing either." The veteran called the old head mask bent down and picked up the cable and looked at it carefully.

"This thing is like a branch, but not a branch." The veteran looked at it.

"Look. There's more here." As he said, the recruit continued to drag along the cable, and more and more cables were discovered.

"There's more here." The recruit said, pointing to what he had unearthed.

"That's right. There's more here," the recruit said.

"What is this?" More and more soldiers gathered around, they didn't know what it was. As everyone knows, this is an important means of communication for the Qin army to maintain close contact with each other.

"What is this." The soldiers kept putting down their work and asked.

"Who knows, I don't know what it is." A soldier yanked vigorously.

"Hello. I can't hear what you said." Major Qin Jun shouted loudly.

"Chichichichi." The sound of "chichichi" kept coming from the phone.

"You speak louder," the major shouted.

"This is still there," said a soldier shouted loudly. He just pulled it over.

"This, this, it's really hard to pull." The soldier said. As he said, he drew out the knife he was carrying with him and cut it hard.

And on the other end. Major Qin Jun shouted loudly.

"Hey hey. Hey hey." Major Qin Jun kept shouting.

"Beep." There was a hang-up voice on the phone.

"Hang up. What the **** is going on." The major said dissatisfied.

"Communication. Go and see what's going on." The major ordered.

"Yes, sir," a soldier replied.

"Hey. Hey. Please reply, please reply." A sergeant called out loudly.

"How is the situation?" the lieutenant colonel asked.

"The phone is hung up," the sergeant replied.

"What? Hang up?" The lieutenant colonel couldn't believe it. The other party actually hung up the phone.

The major walked around anxiously in his headquarters.

He didn't know what the other party was doing and even hung up the phone.

"Report, sir. A new problem has arisen." A second lieutenant ran anxiously and said.

"What's the problem?" the major asked.

"Our telegram can't be sent," the ensign said.

"What? Can't send the report? What is the reason? Have you found it out?" the major asked.

"This, we are investigating, but we suspect that there is a problem with the line. Our indicator light is not on. And, the worst thing is that ours can't and..." the second lieutenant said anxiously.

"Report, phone line, phone line," the soldier ran to report anxiously.

"Say." The major said, looking at the soldier.

"Our telephone line seems to have been cut." The soldier said.

"What?" the major asked in surprise.

"Yes, sir, our telephone line seems to have been cut. Our outpost has just reported that they saw Qi Jun digging where we buried the cable. It is estimated that our cable has been cut." The soldier said.

"Oh. Damn it from Qi," the major complained.

"Go, I want to see what happened?" The major was a little unwilling. Not only is poor communication a major issue.

"Oh. Damn." The major cursed when he saw Qi Jun digging the trenches. The trenches of the Qi army were dug very quickly. And he didn't even have any way to do this.

"Sir, that location is where we buried the cables." A soldier pointed his finger at the place where the cables were buried and said.

"Oh." As he said, the major looked through his binoculars. Although I can't see anything. They were mostly mounds, and the Qi army hid in the trenches.

"Why should we bury the **** cable in that location." The major couldn't flatter his luck, because the place where the cable was buried happened to be cut off by Qi Jun.

And all the soldiers did not speak, and they also felt that they were a little bit back, and lacked enough luck for themselves. Moreover, all people are aware of a serious problem, that is, they are completely surrounded. And there is no contact with the outside world at all, they didn't think it was a big deal before. At least they can keep in touch. But now, the cable is cut. It also means that they don't know what is happening outside.

"I see. Everyone stay alert." The major still maintained restraint. He needed to return to his headquarters to think about countermeasures. Is there any way to remedy this problem.

"Is the situation clear?" the lieutenant colonel at the other end asked anxiously.

"The situation is clear. It is very likely that Qi Jun cut off our cable. The telephone connection between us, the telegram, and the telegram communication between them and the outside world were all broken." An officer reported.

"However, there is another good news, that is, our cables can still be used." The officer continued.

"Oh. Got it." The lieutenant colonel was somewhat listless.

"Sir, I think we should report this situation to the people above, and let them solve it." The officer suggested.

"Okay, you can figure it out." The lieutenant colonel waved his hand, so the officer saluted and left. He reported the situation to the Qin State Staff.

The General Staff of Qin State Xianyang.

"Sir, we have a big problem." A lieutenant colonel hurried over with a telegram and said.

"What's the problem?" Yang Duanhe asked.

"The cables in our warehouse area were cut. They have no contact with each other, and from the current situation. Our tower area is not very safe, because the Qi army is also digging trenches there. They will dig it sooner or later. The cable there." The lieutenant colonel analyzed.

"What do you mean?" Yang Duanhe asked.

"We may be cut off at any time, at that time..." the lieutenant colonel said unoptimistically.

"This is a big problem. Our people are about to enter a real siege." Wang Jian said at this time.

"Once the connection is cut off. The problem is big."

"But it's impossible for this kind of thing to happen." Wang Jian said.

"Think of a way. We need to restore contact as soon as possible." Wang Jian said.
