Chapter 213 Mushroom Cloud Over Yuan City
Looking at the movements of the Japanese soldiers on the monitoring radar in his mind, Bai Luo knew that the Japanese had broken into the hotel suite of the Japanese lieutenant general.
Bai Luo's lips curled slightly, revealing a small tiger tooth, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked towards the hotel.
He said through gritted teeth.
"Go to hell and atone for your sins, you little devils."
As he spoke, his finger had already pressed the detonation button.
"Boom..."
Inside the hotel, more than 30 tulip-shaped high-explosive incendiary bombs and C4 bombs planted by Bai Luo and Sha Niu were detonated simultaneously.
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, followed by a deafening roar, and the powerful explosive force swept outwards from the hotel with unstoppable force.
A blazing storm of fire emanated from the hotel, forming a massive fireball that shot straight into the sky.
Then, the fireball continued to expand and rise, eventually forming a dangerous yet beautiful mushroom cloud.
Inside the hotel, the seemingly sturdy walls turned to dust in an instant during the explosion, and various iron objects were melted and evaporated by the high temperature of the explosion.
The Japanese soldiers in the hotel were caught completely off guard by this sudden destruction and were instantly vaporized.
Ono Yasube only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.
The epicenter of the explosion had a radius of about one kilometer.
All buildings within a one-kilometer radius were reduced to ruins, and most houses within a three-kilometer radius collapsed, with their brick and tile roofs being blown off.
Within a 10-kilometer radius, all the houses had huge cracks, as if they would collapse with the slightest push.
At that moment, all the residents of the city felt the ground beneath their feet shaking violently. Some dilapidated houses, even those far from the explosion point, collapsed directly due to the ground tremors.
Bai Luo slowly crawled out from under a pile of rubble. He hadn't expected the explosion to reach so far; the roof of his house had been blown off by the shockwave.
Bai Luo, who was hiding in the alley, was caught red-handed. Fortunately, the hotel was located in a bustling area set up by the Japanese, and those who lived there were relatives of the Japanese and pro-Japanese people. Otherwise, Bai Luo would have been in serious trouble.
"Little...Little Luo...Little...can hear me..."
Just then, Bai Luo heard the intermittent calls from the silly girl in his earphones.
The explosion clearly also affected the transmission of the signal.
"Silly girl, I'm fine. I'm coming to find you now."
Bai Luo released the call button and, without caring whether Sha Niu could hear him, quickly ran towards Wu Shiyu's house.
At this moment, all the streets of the original city were in chaos, and all the people in the city flocked to the various city gates.
The people were terrified of being caught in the crossfire, especially after the second explosion, which had exceeded their expectations.
The two consecutive explosions made them eager to leave the city. The city no longer gave them a sense of security, and after all, no one knew if there would be a third explosion.
The Japanese soldiers were now in disarray and unable to organize an effective defense. The guards at the city gates were simply unable to stop such a large number of civilians from charging in.
In particular, the north gate, which was guarded by traitors, couldn't even hold out for 5 minutes before being breached by the fleeing civilians.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the streets, Bai Luo occasionally fired sniper shots, killing Japanese soldiers who were trying to force the people out of the city.
It took Bai Luo almost an hour to reunite with Sha Niu.
Next stop: the armory.
The Japanese armory in the city was located in the southwest of the city, close to the Japanese armored unit's base. If the armory was attacked, the Japanese armored tank units would quickly provide support.
10:15pm.
Bai Luo quietly observed the situation of the Japanese armory from a house more than 500 meters away.
This place can be described as the heart of the Japanese army.
If the armory is attacked, the Japanese soldiers throughout the city will face a shortage of ammunition.
Therefore, the defenses here are very strong.
The Japanese soldiers responsible for guarding the area numbered as a reinforced battalion, exceeding 1500 men.
At this moment, more than a dozen high-powered searchlights were turned on around the Japanese arsenal, constantly scanning the surroundings. All the Japanese soldiers had entered their positions.
There were countless sentry towers and heavy machine gun positions.
The defensive line has been extended to a radius of more than 300 meters around the armory.
Numerous anti-aircraft machine gun positions were also built on the rooftops.
Bai Luo even spotted a Japanese artillery position through his binoculars, with a row of Type 92 infantry guns, numbering at least 20.
The armory was swarming with Japanese patrols, the density of which was alarming.
This made Bai Luo gasp in astonishment.
"It's not easy."
Bai Luo put down the night vision binoculars in his hand and muttered to himself.
Looking at the armory, which was defended like a turtle shell, Bai Luo felt a bit of a headache.
If there weren't poison gas bombs here, Bai Luo would be easy to deal with; he could just close his eyes and blast him.
But Bai Luo really couldn't think of a way to get in right now.
"If only we knew where the Japanese stored their poison gas bombs. That damned lieutenant general only knew they were in the armory, but he didn't know exactly where they were."
Bai Luo kept cursing and complaining.
If Miyano Jin, who had already turned to ashes, knew that Bai Luo was talking about him like this, he would definitely cry foul. He had only taken over the position of commander of the Western Province for a full day before Bai Luo physically eliminated him, leaving not even ashes.
He had never even been to this former city arsenal.
It seems we need to capture a suspect and ask him for information first.
Just as Bai Luo was about to take action, he suddenly noticed an anomaly on the monitoring radar. A civilian symbol slowly emerged from the pile of red Japanese symbols.
Moreover, it was constantly moving, so Bai Luo quickly raised his binoculars to observe the location of the civilian sign.
However, they only found Japanese soldiers and no one else.
In particular, at one location where there was clearly a wall, the sign walked right through without any obstruction.
This left Bai Luo completely bewildered, wondering if there was something wrong with the system.
Or can the monitoring radar detect other things?
As the civilian markers on the monitoring radar drew closer, Bai Luo decided to go down and take a look.
As soon as Bai Luo reached the corner marked by the sign indicating the only way to go, he realized he wasn't seeing Japanese soldiers in the middle of the night.
Instead, there was a drainage pipe on this road, and Bai Luo noticed that a manhole cover not far away clearly showed signs of recent movement.
Bai Luo squatted down next to the manhole cover, waiting for the person to appear.
In less than 3 minutes, Bai Luo saw through the monitoring radar that the sign had been moved to below the manhole cover.
At this moment, the manhole cover, which had been stationary, was pushed to one side from below.
A person crept out of the manhole cover in front of Bai Luo.
This person did not notice Bai Luo squatting to the side.
He was muttering curses as he climbed out.
"Damn it, I almost got killed in there. Who caused this explosion? It was so powerful."
"I did it."
"Oh my god! Ah... Waaaaah!"
Li Hou was startled by the sudden response from behind, and his hand slipped, almost falling into the drainage ditch.
The words just slipped out unconsciously.
But as soon as he shouted, Li Hou felt his mouth being covered, and then he felt his collar tighten as he was pulled up.
