The moment the cannonball was fired, time and space seemed to freeze.
In the arsenal, a shell with a flaming tail was reflected in the dark eyes of the panicked soldiers. The images were replayed in slow motion frame by frame.
Normally, fireworks were strictly prohibited in the arsenal. Even a cigarette butt could cause great harm, not to mention a 57mm high explosive bomb.
The rapidly flying bullet exploded the moment it hit the ground, and an orange explosion shockwave spread in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Boom!
Rumble!
Boom! Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded, followed by a tremor that shook the earth and mountains. The ground within a kilometer of the arsenal was trembling as if the mountain had collapsed and the ground had cracked.
In the Type 97 tank, after Lin Xiong fired the first shot, Chen Weidong immediately turned the car around, increased the horsepower to the maximum, and roared away from the center of the explosion.
When the explosion sounded, the two people in the tank cockpit clearly felt a hot wave of heat.
In the arsenal, the remaining two teams of defenders were instantly engulfed by the flames produced by the explosion. The entire arsenal was razed to the ground, and the raging flames illuminated half of the county city.
At the same time, Second Lieutenant Ichitaka Sakai, who was leading the troops to the military police headquarters, heard the explosion. He turned his head and saw that the dark night sky in the direction of the arsenal had been lit up by fire.
Ichiro Sakai collapsed to the ground. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were unfocused. It was as if his soul had been sucked away by someone, and he had become a pile of dead meat with only a shell.
Junji Ozawa, the captain of the military police squad, was not much better. Half of his soul was gone.
The headquarters was right in front of them, and they could not even see the shadow of the Chinese troops on the empty road!
Junji Ozawa tried his best to maintain his composure. His sinister gaze swept across the members of the investigation team beside him, but he did not find the Chinese man who could speak Japanese or the tall and burly guy who looked like a bear.
Ozawa Junji seemed to have realized that he had been deceived by those two Chinese people!
The so-called 358th Regiment and 8th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. The news of the independent regiment attacking Heyuan County was just a cover. Their real intention was to blow up the arsenal.
And he was actually blinded by the Chinese man's flowery words, which directly led to the explosion of the arsenal.
Thinking of this, Junji Ozawa couldn't hold it in any longer. He felt a fishy taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. He roared,"Bagaya Lu, arrest all these Chinese people. They are all spies!”
The next moment, a group of stunned Heyuan County detectives were brutally beaten down by the fierce and furious Japanese soldiers with the butt of their guns, shouting that they were innocent.
Junji Ozawa did not care about this. The arsenal had been blown up by a Chinese spy who had infiltrated the investigation team. Someone had to take responsibility for this matter. The Chinese spy from the investigation team was the best scapegoat.
Li Yunlong and Monk Wei, who were outside the western gate, were riding on two tall horses. They listened to the deafening explosion and looked at Heyuan County, which was half red from the fire. They were so excited that they clapped their hands.
Monk Wei's face was filled with joy and anger. He placed his hand on the awning and looked in the direction of the arsenal. He said excitedly,"Captain, Chen Weidong and Lin Xiong have succeeded. Look at the commotion. The Japanese's arsenal has been blown up!”
Li Yunlong was also very excited and cheered loudly,""Damn it, Chen Weidong is really something. When we go back, I will personally ask the brigade commander for credit!”
As the two of them were talking, a loud explosion came from the west gate, followed by the sound of gunshots.
Li Yunlong's face immediately turned serious. He loaded the shell gun and said,""Monk, get ready to fight and support Chen Weidong and the others.”
In the next second, a tank that was roaring at full speed crashed through the gate of the city gate and swaggered toward Li Yun Long and the other two.
Monk Wei immediately became nervous and said anxiously,""Regiment Commander, the Japanese tanks are coming up. What should we do?”
When he saw the Japanese tanks rushing out of the city gate, Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat. However, when he realized that behind the tanks were a group of armed Japanese soldiers, he immediately calmed down.
That was because the group of Japanese soldiers were firing at the tanks. The bullets hit the armored steel plates and sparks flew everywhere. The machine guns on the tanks were also firing at the pursuing Japanese soldiers.
It was obvious that Chen Weidong had stolen the Japanese's tank.
Li Yun Long was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He grinned and said,""Monk, let's go. Chen Weidong is driving a tank, which is faster than our four-legged horse.”
As he spoke, Li Yunlong waved his hand and whipped his horse loudly. The date red horse he rode on snorted and galloped forward.
Monk Wei was stunned for a moment. He also waved his horsewhip and left.
Yang Village, Independent Regiment Headquarters. Zhao Gang paced back and forth in his room with a dark face. He was already holding it in. No matter what, he had to quarrel with Li Yunlong tonight.
This Li Yunlong was getting more and more out of hand recently. He was simply undisciplined and left his post without permission. He went out early in the morning with Monk Wei and did not return even after dark. The commander was not in the command position. What if the Japanese invaded the base?
No, no matter what, he had to educate Li Yunlong tonight.
"Old Zhao, great news, great news!”
Speak of the devil.
Li Yunlong's loud voice sounded in the regiment headquarters. He was in a particularly good mood today. Not only did he eat and drink to his heart's content, but he also killed many Japanese traitors with a shell gun and grenades.
More importantly, Chen Weidong had not only blown up the arsenal of the Japanese in Heyuan County, but he had also stolen a tank. This was more exciting and joyful for Li Yunlong than getting a title on the Golden List and getting married.
As soon as he entered, he saw Zhao Gang's gloomy face. Li Yunlong grinned and said,""Old Zhao, don't pull such a long face. Prepare a telegram for the brigade commander immediately. I want to ask for credit from Chen Weidong, the platoon leader of the First Battalion, Third Company, and First Platoon.”
