Chapter 42: Brake Failure

The oil drums in the oil depot were all stacked together, and there was an explosion that immediately detonated more oil drums next to it. Although the iron drum filled with fuel exploded, so much fuel in it would not evaporate in an instant, the oil drum flew into the air, and the oil ignited by the high temperature was thrown everywhere with the flames, and the fire of Zhurong spread everywhere with the invisible fuel liquid, more oil barrels caught fire and exploded, and more fuel oil instantly turned into an evil and beautiful flame of Zhurong. From time to time, a large oil drum of more than one meter was blown into the air, with the "Tom! Tong! The flames flew everywhere, and the fire got out of control in the shortest possible time!

"Let's go!" Gao Quan's five trucks were too close to the fire and could be hit by the pond fish at any time. Seeing that something was wrong, the perpetrators started the car and fled quickly.

On the way to the army, the captain of the devil's baggage battalion led the people to come, and he heard the explosion of the oil depot. This Dazuo's heart sank suddenly, and he hurriedly urged his troops to move quickly. As for the squad of Japanese soldiers guarding the oil depot, most of them were killed by the indiscriminate shooting at the beginning, and a small number of clever ones found a place to hide in the hidden places of the oil depot, and after the oil depot caught fire and exploded on a large scale, they wanted to flee again, but it was too late. The group cordoned off every corner of the oil depot, and the guards who escaped the initial disaster became part of the flames after struggling in the fire and calling for help.

When more than 300 devils rushed to the accident site under the leadership of the wing captain, the fire in the oil depot had burned to the extent that it was completely uncontrollable, and the wing captain sent people to try to approach the periphery of the fire, trying to extinguish the fire, but who knew that an oil drum flew over, except for two more devils who were seriously injured, there was no way.

There was such a big commotion here, even on the battlefield where the guns were roaring, Lieutenant General Sakagaki heard a loud noise behind him. When Sakagaki, who was in a state of shock, was about to send someone to ask what was going on, the captain of the baggage wing had already called him. Sakagaki was so angry that his face turned blue, and he dropped the phone with his hand! That oil depot is the general oil depot of his entire Fifth Division, and when the oil depot burns down, how can you let his tanks and armored vehicles drive?

The bombing of the oil depot had a chain reaction, and because of its huge acousto-optic effect, the impact was greater than the doctor-patient dispute in the Fourth Field Hospital. After all, few people have seen the affairs of the hospital, and the death of a director of Matsushita and a few doctors, as long as the military commanders at all levels are notified to control the soldiers under them, it is not easy for more people to know. However, the explosion of this oil depot was heard by most of the people of the division and regiment, and the flames several feet high could be seen for miles away. When all the soldiers of the Fifth Division saw the smoke and flames, they had an ominous mood in their hearts, so that when they were fighting on the battlefield, they could not concentrate, and there were several attacks that should have taken advantage, but they were brutally defeated by the 59th Army.

Lieutenant General Sakagaki was so angry and hateful that he dismissed the unlucky captain of the baggage battalion at that time, and what awaited him was the severe punishment of the military court in the base camp. The lieutenant general once again informed the whole army that the oil depot incident is a typical safety accident, and all units must take this as a warning, strengthen their awareness of fire prevention and theft, and prevent the recurrence of similar evil incidents.

As for the gunfire before the explosion of the oil depot, it was deliberately concealed by the wise Lieutenant General Sakagaki, if this matter is a safety hazard, it is better to say, if the enemy invades the interior of his division and blows up the oil depot of the division, it will be too embarrassing, and the fifth division will become the laughing stock of all divisions in the entire empire.

Not to mention how Lieutenant General Sakagaki loosened the outside and tightened the inside, arranged to track down the process of these evil ** pieces. Just talking about Gao Quan, it is said that his current five trucks are already very conspicuous, they have been seen near the oil depot, and he cannot kill all the witnesses. Xiaohezi Village, fifteen miles to the southwest, is said to be far away, but it is not close at all. Gao Quan knew that Itagaki Seishiro must have sent a large number of people to search for his five cars, and it was said that they should get out of the car and line up in a column to pass through the Japanese defense area, but the risk was also great, the distance was long, and the time was long, and it was inevitable that there would be any flaws on the road.

Gao Quan's guess was not correct at all, just half an hour after the explosion of the oil depot, Sakagaki received a report from the armored corps brigade, saying that they had only gone to the gas station to collect fuel 20 minutes before the explosion, and saw five strange military vehicles near the oil depot. Itagaki Seishiro immediately realized that there was something wrong with these five vehicles, and immediately telegraphed to all units in the name of the division headquarters that as long as these five suspicious vehicles were discovered, they would be immediately detained and investigated, and those who did not obey the order could be intercepted by force.

All the officers and men of the 1st Brigade drove quickly to Xiaohezi Village in five military vehicles, and the cool spring breeze was blowing in their faces, and although the soldiers did not speak, the smiles on their faces showed how relaxed and happy they were at the moment.

Gao Quan had already sat on the first armored truck at this time, and he wanted to know if there was any emergency on the road as soon as possible. A patrol of about 30 people appeared in front, and several groups of such patrols had already been encountered along the way, and the vigilance of the devils had been significantly strengthened.

The driver, Gao Guozhong, was about to drive over as soon as he stepped on the gas pedal as he had done the previous times, but the patrol suddenly crossed to the middle of the road, and two Japanese soldiers waved their hands and signaled the convoy to stop. Gao Guozhong turned his head and glanced at Gao Quan, asking for the chief's opinion.

"Hurry up, drive over!"

Gao Quan's cold voice made Gao Guozhong stunned, and then the Japanese driver stepped on the accelerator to the end, the moving car let out a low roar, his body slammed forward, the body in the car leaned back by inertia, and the armored truck rushed to the patrol blocking the road like crazy!

"Get out of the way! The brakes are out of order! At the critical moment, Gao Quan didn't forget to poke his head out of the car and shouted at the obviously stunned patrol, looking at his panicked appearance, as if the car really broke down.

The two soldiers in the middle of the road were still in a daze, and the soldiers next to them had already hurriedly pulled their commanders aside, and the five cars were one after the other, and the wind whistled by, and the dust that splashed scraped the heads and faces of the devil patrols.

"Yaga! How do these car soldiers drive? One of them scolded angrily.

"If the brakes fail, how can five cars fail at the same time? These cars must be the two cars that caused the accident reported by the division and regiment headquarters! The other military cao was quite good-witted, and immediately saw the suspicion in it. In order to cover up the truth of the matter, the commander of the Sakagaki Division still did not publicize his suspicions, but only said that these trucks violated military discipline and caused car accidents, and asked the patrol teams at all levels to strictly investigate, and asked to detain people and detain the cars after they were discovered.

As soon as the patrol reported their new findings to the wing, which reported to the division, Lieutenant General Sakagaki immediately flipped through the map and began to look in the possible directions of the convoy. There are no important military facilities over there, are they? Further on is an ordinary small village, Xiaohezi Village, in which there is only one squad and a wounded cavalryman who is recuperating. Cavalry Dazuo? Hiroshi Miya?! Lieutenant General Sakagaki's eyes instantly widened!
