Chapter 22: The Last Fireworks
When the two captains were afraid of hiding in the bunker, the encirclement and suppression outside had also entered the final moment.
Without Luo Yun's powerful and precise fire support, the remaining six people were quickly compressed to the limit, and the house where they were hiding had also been invaded by devils, and Lin Dawen and the others guarded the last few rooms to make the last stubborn resistance.
A flame erupted straight into the room from the window, and the thick flames and smoke instantly filled the entire room, but Lin Dawen and the others had all hid in the basement, so the devil's flame spray did not cause any casualties.
As soon as the flames in the house weakened, Lin Dawen opened the stone slab covering the basement, ignored a few drops of burning gasoline stuck to his body, and beckoned to the devil is grenade.
"Boom"
In another room, several devils who were preparing to attack were blown up by a grenade and died suddenly on the spot.
The little devil squadron leader in charge of the command of "grenades, grenades" was also blown up on the spot, brandishing a command knife and shouting.
Soon a few grenades flew in through the window, but at this time, Lin Dawen and the others had already closed the entrance to the basement, so the devil's grenade did not cause any casualties.
Just separated by a few walls, the squadron leader in charge of the devil's command naturally saw the situation inside.
But he really couldn't take these rooms for a while.
The remnants of the soldiers on the opposite side were hiding in the basement, and their attacks could not be hit at all.
And every time they tried to attack, either a few grenades flew out of the room, or suddenly a guy with grenades strapped all over his body would die with them.
Just such a wall had blocked his attack for nearly ten minutes, and had already caused the squadron leader to lose more than a dozen soldiers.
"Blow the wall open"
Soon, the Devil Squadron Leader came up with a solution, he called a few devils to dig holes in the wall, and then stuffed explosives, he wanted to blow up the wall directly, so that he could kill the remnants of the gang before they threw grenades.
After all, bullets always fly faster than grenades.
But the idea of this squadron leader must have failed.
In the basement, the fuses on the explosives stacked together had been ignited, Lin Dawen and finally Wang Tian, the two last people, glanced at each other, and then the company commander took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and then took a hard puff.
"Company commander, you still have such a good thing hidden" Seeing the smoke, Wang Tian didn't care about the bleeding wound on the mountain, and stretched out his hand to Lin Dawen.
"Give me a bite too"
Wang Tian's request was satisfied, he took the cigarette and took a hard sip.
The cigarette was burned rapidly, and Wang Tian took a sip, almost one-fifth of a cigarette.
Then he exhaled the smoke heavily, and in the darkness, his expression instantly changed to a look of enjoyment as the smoke came out.
"You leave me some" Seeing this, Lin Dawen hurriedly reached out to grab the cigarette.
"Let me take another sip, just one bite"
"Hurry up"
In the dark basement, the fuse was burning brightly, and only the last centimeter was left from the explosive pack.
······
"Boom..."
Inside the basement, 600 kilograms of TNT exploded.
Nearly 300 million joules of energy exploded in an instant, propelling the surrounding air to spread out at a speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, and with it, bullet casings piled around the explosives.
More than 40,000 rounds of copper shells, accompanied by the shock wave of the explosion, carried unparalleled kinetic energy, with the explosion as the center, flying in the sky and scattering, tearing apart all the lives they touched.
In the bunker more than 300 meters away, at the moment when the explosion first appeared, the two captains instantly opened their mouths wide and looked at the huge fireworks in front of them in a daze.
In their field of vision, there was a huge cloud of smoke, and hundreds of Imperial soldiers around the smoke were thrown away by the shockwave, and the sky was full of brick wall fragments flying in the sky.
With a huge explosion, it instantly took away the minds of the two.
Whew···
By the time the blast wave of the explosion reached the bunker, it was barely powerful enough to blow people down.
However, among the casualties caused by the explosion alone, the casualties caused by the shock wave alone are actually very small.
The explosion of 600 kilograms of TNT explosives alone, the direct killing range of the shock wave is only about 130 meters, and beyond this range, it can only blow people down at most, but the most terrifying thing in this explosion is the bullet casings that Lin Dawen specially collected.
These shells, which are propelled at high speed, have a maximum killing distance of nearly one kilometer.
At the time of the explosion, there was only about one squad of devils within 130 meters of the center of the explosion, but within a kilometer of the periphery, there were two brigades of devils stationed.
Woohoo...
After the huge explosion passed, the sound of countless sharp objects streaking through the air was accompanied by the screams of countless devils.
It took five minutes for the smoke and dust of the explosion to dissipate, and the three-story concrete house, which had been devastated by artillery fire, had completely disappeared, leaving only a huge crater more than 10 meters wide and seven meters deep on the ground.
Jiro Nakagawa and Shu Shomoto were lucky.
They hid in a bunker about 400 meters from the center of the explosion, and the half-buried civil structure carefully constructed by the devils was extremely defensive against the flying shells, but fortunately, only one shell flew into the bunker through the observation window.
So in addition to a pile of dirt that was knocked down by the explosion, only the map of the perimeter position hanging on the wall was pierced with a small hole.
But the two captains were still stunned at this time.
Their eyes were glazed, their eyeballs stopped moving, and their brains had completely stopped thinking.
In their minds, only one thought lingered at this time.
Finished! Finished!
Dead! Dead!
Now you don't have to think about how to cover up the facts.
I'm afraid that the whole of Shanghai has heard such a big explosion, and no one can cover up such a large crater.
You don't have to think about who is responsible.
This explosion alone, the soldiers stationed in the surrounding high-density area, at least three to five hundred casualties, this is definitely not the responsibility of the two captains, I am afraid that the wing commander and the division commander will be held accountable.
And the two front-line captains, I'm afraid there is only one ending.
Military tribunals and seppuku suicides.
······
The huge explosion shook the whole of Shanghai.
The commander of the Miura Wing, who had just fallen asleep, rushed over without even putting on his military uniform, and various high-ranking Japanese military officials stationed in Shanghai also rushed over overnight, and the military attaches of the concession countries more than 10 kilometers away from here also sent observers one after another.
The sky was just dawning.
Casualties were also counted.
The Nakagawa brigade lost 377 killed and 139 wounded.
Shomoto's brigade lost 207 killed and 79 wounded.
When the herald read out the casualty figures, the two captains who were kneeling at the headquarters fainted and died.
