Chapter 278 Liaoyuan Arsenal was bombed!
Shortly after Zhao Gang fell, a huge explosion was heard outside the Liaoyuan Arsenal. It was a loud noise coming from the direction of the dam.
The hydropower station was bombed by the Japanese!
Everyone at the Liaoyuan Arsenal who had already escaped through the secret passage widened their eyes almost at the same time. They couldn't believe that the core power system of the Liaoyuan Arsenal had been blown up by the Japanese.
This means that the Japanese have invaded the core area of the Liaoyuan Arsenal.
The Second Battalion was expanded, with a company of about 200 people, and more than 50 people had been killed in the previous conflict. Moreover, under the pressure of the powerful attack of the devils, the defensive position of the Fifth Company of the Second Battalion was constantly compressed.
The commander of the fifth company made a prompt decision: "Your squad should take the political commissar and evacuate immediately. Make sure the political commissar's safety is guaranteed. The rest of you should follow me and make sure to stop these devils and not let them pass through here."
We have waited too long to have an arsenal of our own, and we cannot afford to lose it again!"
The squad leader who was ordered to take the political commissar out looked deeply at the company commander, saw the determination in his eyes, and then carried the unconscious Zhao Gang on his back and broke out.
Since Yamamoto Ikki's target was the Liaoyuan Arsenal, when the soldiers broke out, they did not attract the special attention of Yamamoto's special forces.
For them, the more soldiers from the independent regiment escape, the better, which means that the guard force of the Liaoyuan Arsenal will be even more empty.
The Japanese forces continued to erode the defense space of the Fifth Company. In less than fifteen minutes, there were less than eighty people left in the Fifth Company, and the Japanese Yamamoto Special Forces also left behind more than twenty corpses.
Under the light of the flashlight, the entrance of the arsenal was already in sight, and a happy smile appeared on Yamamoto Kazuki's face.
He only needs to go 50 meters further to enter the Eighth Route Army's most core arsenal. He can also get some of the independent regiment's latest weapon design drawings and samples, which will be extremely beneficial for the upgrade of the empire's weapons and equipment.
Once this task is completed, the shame of the previous failures will be wiped out, and it can be proved that special operations have their value in the Locust Army.
Once you overcome this hurdle, you will be the founder of special operations in the imperial army, and your future prospects will be limitless.
As for changing the rank from colonel to general, it was just a casual thing and not worth mentioning at all.
Thinking of the infinite possibilities in the future, Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes became hot.
When Yamamoto Ikki's eyes became eager, the fifth company commander also became a little excited. He did not expect that the combat effectiveness of this group of Japanese devils would be so strong in close combat.
While covering the squad that had just carried out the seriously injured political commissar, the fifth company commander realized a problem. That is, with the current stalemate, he would probably be completely defeated by this group of devils in less than half an hour.
Looking back at the already dark Liaoyuan Arsenal, the fifth company commander gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Third squad leader, I'll take over now, you go and take a few people to get some 107 rocket launchers and explosives from the assembly workshop.
Bury them all in this hole, and put them on a few windows as well."
"Company commander!"
The third squad leader exclaimed, he had realized what the company commander was going to do.
"Don't waste your time, just go!"
The fifth company commander emptied a magazine of bullets and turned around to curse while changing the magazine.
The third squad leader gritted his teeth and still ran into the gate of Liaoyuan Arsenal with three soldiers as requested by the fifth company commander.
In just a few minutes, a total of four people, including the third squad leader, carried out more than 100 kilograms of explosives, and some of them were placed at the door and window of the Liaoyuan Arsenal in accordance with the request of the fifth company commander, ready to be detonated at any time.
During these few minutes, the Fifth Company lost more than a dozen people. At this time, there were less than fifty soldiers of the Independent Regiment still fighting in the position in front of the Liaoyuan Arsenal.
At the same time, the Japs also left behind seven or eight corpses.
Neither side of the war had expected that this close-range battle would be so crazy and the intensity would be so high.
The fifth company commander had not expected that since the independent regiment's equipment had been upgraded, it had rarely encountered such high casualties. In just twenty or thirty minutes, he had lost more than a hundred comrades.
As the fighting lasted longer, the number of surviving soldiers on the Independent Regiment side decreased.
This added a touch of sadness to the entire blocking battle.
"Third Squad Leader, we can't wait any longer. We must blow up the entrance to the Liaoyuan Arsenal."
"Captain, what if the entire Liaoyuan Arsenal is blown down? That is the most precious asset of our Eighth Route Army."
The third squad leader's face was full of heartache. The importance of Liaoyuan Arsenal to the entire independent regiment was self-evident.
"I don't care about that. I believe that even if Minister Yu were here, he would support us. Besides, the comrades in charge of technology at the arsenal have already evacuated.
Even if we accidentally blow up the entire Liaoyuan Arsenal, with Minister Yu here, he will definitely be able to lead us to rebuild a new arsenal.
The most important thing is, even if it is accidentally blown up, we must not let this arsenal fall into the hands of the devils!"
The fifth company commander's face was full of determination.
"it is good!"
The remaining soldiers of the independent regiment heard the words of the fifth company commander and responded loudly.
Even though they knew that at their current distance, if more than 100 kilograms of explosives exploded in front of the gate of Liaoyuan Arsenal, they would most likely die on the spot, or be seriously injured at best, they still supported the company commander's decision without hesitation.
Because everyone knows that compared with the Liaoyuan Arsenal, the core factory that carries the future hopes of the Eighth Route Army, the lives of themselves and others are nothing.
They do it willingly.
Judging from the current situation, we will inevitably be unable to defend it. Rather than letting the Japanese take away the core machinery of the Liaoyuan Arsenal, it is better to blow up the entrance or even the entire cave. Even if we are buried inside, we must not let the Japanese get their hands on it.
Because the distance was very close, Yamamoto Ikki saw the actions of these fighters and had roughly guessed their plans.
A trace of madness flashed across Yamamoto Ikki's face: "Ha ha! Everyone, charge! We must stop them!"
At this moment, he no longer regarded Yamamoto's Special Forces as special forces, but as ordinary infantry who charged into the battle line. He was determined to stop the crazy behavior of the independent regiment soldiers at all costs.
However, it's too late.
As the fifth company commander pressed the electric detonator in his hand hard, a series of bright flames suddenly lit up at the entrance of the cave of Liaoyuan Arsenal, followed by a huge explosion.
"boom!"
The entire Liaoyuan Arsenal was instantly filled with smoke and dust, and countless rocks flew everywhere, splashing in all directions.
The huge cave entrance collapsed with a loud bang at this moment, and the soil and rocks above the cave entrance slid down like a landslide, instantly burying the entrance and several windows of the Liaoyuan Arsenal.
As the landslide and collapse of earth and rocks stopped, Yamamoto Ikki's face turned gloomy and ashen. The plan he had been planning for so long was destroyed by several soldiers from the independent regiment at the last minute.
"Bagaya road!"
Yamamoto Ikki couldn't stand it anymore and cursed.
