This killer star of the War of Resistance Against Japan was only 9 years old.

Chapter 126 Bai Luo, Conscripted by the Japanese

It is 3:45 AM.

Bai Luo had been searching in Gong County for over an hour and finally found a place in the northwest corner of the county that appeared to be a Japanese armory.

If Bai Luo hadn't had the monitoring radar, he might have missed this place.

This place looks ordinary on the surface, but there are hidden sentry posts of Japanese soldiers on all the rooftops, and dense anti-aircraft machine guns are deployed on them.

This armory was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. It looked like a sturdy warehouse, but Bai Luo discovered through radar monitoring of the Japanese soldiers' positions inside that there was more to it than met the eye.

It should be an underground air-raid shelter, and it's quite large.

Although he had found the suspected location of the armory, Bai Luo was still a little unhappy. He had hoped to make a small fortune inside.

But let's not even talk about the Japanese defenses around the warehouse. Even if they managed to sneak into the warehouse, there were still quite a few Japanese soldiers inside, with guards every three steps and sentries every five.

Bai Luo sighed. It was truly disheartening to see the cake in front of him but not be able to eat it.

Now that the location of the armory has been found, Bai Luo has accomplished his main objective.

It's time to make some noise for the Japanese soldiers. If we don't create some disturbance in the Japanese defenses of Gong County, Bai Luo really won't be able to leave the city.

Bai Luo found a spot out of the blast wave and quickly changed into a Japanese military uniform he had just stolen; it actually fit him quite well.

He then took out a Japanese Type 38 rifle from his spatial storage and slung it over his shoulder.

After everything was ready, Bai Luo took out the detonator, chuckled, and pressed the detonation switch.

The next second, the entire Gongxian County was like it was celebrating the New Year.

The sound of explosions echoed in Gongxian County, where Japanese soldiers were concentrated and where important facilities were located.

The loudest commotion occurred in the small square where trucks were parked, where more than 200 trucks simultaneously detonated, creating a deafening explosion.

The explosion shattered all the glass within a 1-kilometer radius of the small square, sending flames soaring into the sky and illuminating the entire night.

The thick smoke from the explosion billowed and churned in the firelight, and some of the less sturdy houses around the small square collapsed, causing the Japanese soldiers inside to scream in agony.

The Japanese soldiers in other places weren't much better off; Bai Luo always chose to place remote-controlled bombs in areas where the Japanese were concentrated.

The various Japanese barracks collapsed with a deafening roar amidst the explosions, rubble flying everywhere. Even those Japanese soldiers inside who weren't killed by the explosions were crushed to death.

Although the explosion wasn't as dramatic as the one in the small square, its destructive power was by no means weak.

The air throughout Gongxian County is now filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and the dust kicked up by the explosion.

The Japanese soldiers who were not affected by the explosion quickly rushed into the street. Some carried buckets of water to put out the fire, while others ran around trying to avoid the flying debris caused by the explosion.

Bai Luo, carrying a Type 38 rifle, ran from the alley into the main road and blended into the chaotic Japanese soldiers. Bai Luo blended in with the Japanese soldiers without looking out of place at all.

Bai Luo also saw several Japanese soldiers inside who were even shorter than him, and silently thought to himself, "These Japanese soldiers will never be able to become truck drivers in their lifetime."

Following the group of Japanese soldiers running around the streets, Bai Luo subtly approached the west gate where he had entered the city earlier, hoping to find an opportunity to slip out of the city amidst the chaos.

But as soon as Bai Luo got near the city wall, he was suddenly grabbed by a Japanese major.

This startled Bai Luo, who thought he had been exposed. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard the Japanese major speak.

"What's your name? Never mind, you'll be assigned to my squad for now. Now come with me to the small armory to reinforce security."

Kazuo Ishida spoke quickly.

Upon hearing what the Japanese major said, Bai Luo was secretly delighted. What a good thing!

"Hi!!!"

Bai Luo's resounding answer greatly pleased the Japanese major; this was the kind of soldier an Imperial soldier should be like.

He was already considering whether to transfer the soldier in front of him to his own command after this incident.

Ishida Kazuo took another careful look at Bai Luo. Although his face was dirty, he could tell that he was not very old. He felt a desire to help the younger generation.

But now is not the time, so he waved for Bai Luo to join the team.

After seeing the Japanese major in front of him make a gesture, Bai Luo quickly ran to the ranks behind the major.

As Bai Luo ran toward the group, he subtly glanced at them out of the corner of his eye. There were more than 20 people in total, and judging from their name tags, several of them did not belong to the same squadron.

Clearly, these Japanese soldiers, like Bai Luo, had been conscripted.

Ishida Kazuo had no choice but to conscript men.

He was on duty at the armory next to the command post today.

Startled by the explosion, he quickly got up to go outside and check.

But they happened to run into the brigade commander, Fujikawa, who had been awakened by the explosion.

Upon seeing Ishida Kazuo, Fujikawa immediately ordered him to inspect the secret armory in the east of the city and to remain inside.

Tengchuan Pifu, however, is not worried. He is certain that the enemy cannot get in, so he creates chaos outside.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how these enemies had infiltrated the area, since he was the one who had personally arranged the defenses of Gong County.

Upon receiving the mission, Ishida Kazuo immediately returned with a small squad of Japanese soldiers he had brought to his barracks to gather more troops.

When he arrived at the location, he found that the barracks where his men were staying had been bombed and there were basically no Japanese soldiers left alive.

Only one soldier who got up in the night escaped being buried, but he was seriously injured.

This meant that Ishida Kazuo, who was supposed to be troop-deploying, couldn't get the troops, and instead had to spend two soldiers of his own money to take care of the seriously wounded soldier.

However, the brigade commander Tengchuan could not carry out the orders, so he had no choice but to rush eastwards and gather some well-equipped and combat-ready Japanese soldiers along the roadside.

As for why Bai Luo didn't blow up the command post, it's because he simply couldn't find it.

The Japanese knew that when the battle got intense, the Blue Party would definitely launch a surprise attack on the armory, and with so many transport vehicles coming and going in Gongxian every day, it was impossible to hide them.

If the KMT (Kuomintang) pays even a little attention to the situation, they will guess that the arms depot is probably in Gongxian County.

Therefore, to ensure the safety of the armory, Fujikawa Hitoshi not only deployed a tight defense force but also a large number of anti-aircraft weapons.

They also placed the armory in an underground air-raid shelter and built a sturdy warehouse at the exit.

To prove to Commander Gangcun that his arrangements were foolproof, Tengchuan moved the Gongxian Command Headquarters into the air-raid shelter as well.

He had information that even if the Blue Party knew the location of the armory, the underground air-raid shelter he had specially reinforced was enough to withstand the Blue Army's bombing.

It can be said that Tengchuan Pifu considered all possible scenarios in order to prevent the Blue Army from cutting into the back row.
