Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2728 The rabbit dies and the fox mourns!

The singing was melodious and mournful, like the sound of ghosts floating in the night sky, which made people feel creepy.

Major General Masano's face turned pale again. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the direction where the sound came from, with a look of shock and fear on his face.

He even stuttered and asked: "What...what's going on?"

A Japanese officer replied nervously with a trembling voice: "Sir, this sound... seems to come from the east camp."

Upon hearing this, Major General Zhengye turned around abruptly, glared at the officer, and said angrily: "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you take people to check the situation?"

The Japanese officer was frightened and nodded quickly, then led a group of Japanese soldiers and hurried to the camp on the east side.

Major General Masano stood where he was, staring blankly at the backs of the departing Japanese soldiers, a feeling of melancholy overcoming his heart.

Although the battlefield had not been cleaned up yet, he knew that there would be hundreds of casualties, just like before.

And if this continues, he will not be able to explain to Kujo Miyakita.

Before the battle even started, more than a thousand people were lost, and the entire army was in panic.

Major General Masano was scratching his head, thinking whether he should dig trenches and set up defenses tonight and wait for dawn. But at this moment, a loud bang was heard, and his entire camp was instantly in chaos.

Major General Masano only felt a sharp pain in his eardrum, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

When he managed to steady himself and looked around, he saw flames shooting up into the sky, dyeing the night sky red, as if the whole world was on fire.

That was his arsenal, and at this moment it was like a huge crater, spewing flames and smoke.

The shock wave generated by the explosion tore apart everything around it.

Tents, ammunition boxes, even individual Japanese soldiers and puppet troops were all turned into dust at this moment.

The Japanese soldiers who were a little further away were like fallen leaves caught in the wind and were thrown around fiercely. Some were directly blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur and burnt food, almost suffocating.

The blazing flames burned the surrounding air to the extreme, making it seem as if even breathing became extremely difficult.

Major General Masano felt his throat dry and his chest felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on it, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He stared at the burning arsenal with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief and fear.

Those were all their weapons and ammunition, but now they were reduced to ashes.

Without these weapons, how could they fight? How could they explain to Kujo Miyakita?

And those surviving Japanese soldiers were in chaos at this moment.

They screamed in terror and ran in all directions. Some of the Japanese soldiers even had their legs blown off, but they seemed not to feel the pain. They just ran desperately with one leg, trying to escape from that place of death.

"Quick! Put out the fire!"

After recovering from his shock, Major General Masano finally remembered the first thing he had to do urgently, which was to put out the fire.

Because if the fire spread to the camp, he would probably have nothing left.

But at this moment, the Japanese soldiers could not hear the voice of Major General Masano. Their ears were filled with the buzzing sound of explosions, and they just ran for their lives.

Seeing this, Major General Masano was so angry that he was shaking all over. He drew his saber and slashed fiercely at the Japanese soldier who was running past him.

The devil's head was chopped off and blood gushed out.

But because of this, the Japanese soldiers around Major General Masano finally calmed down and obeyed Masano's orders to gather the troops and rescue the wounded.

At this moment, the entire Japanese camp was in shock.

Some of the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, and some even lost their heads. Those wounded but still alive were lying on the ground groaning in pain, and some were even crying loudly.

The smoke from the explosion enveloped the entire camp in a thick cloud of dust. Major General Masano felt his eyes sore from the smoke and couldn't help shedding tears.

He rubbed it hard, and then he could see clearly the dozens of dusty Japanese officers around him.

Major General Masano sighed and ordered, "The armory won't explode so easily. Someone must have sneaked into the camp. Go, find him and kill him!"

"Hi!"

Several Japanese officers took orders and led their men to look for the murderer.

But at this moment the camp was in chaos and they couldn't find any clues at all.

"Quick! Go find a doctor! Someone is still alive!"

A Japanese soldier seemed not to recognize Major General Masano and suddenly shouted at him, pointing behind a tent that was blown down not far away.

Major General Ye was stunned for a moment, but when he thought about saving people, he didn't care about anything else.

Of course, he would not bother to do this on normal days.

But at this moment, saving one more person would be of great benefit to him.

He hurried over and saw a living Japanese soldier lying there. Their bodies were blown into a bloody mess, but they were still struggling tenaciously.

Major General Masano quickly dragged the other party to a safe place, and then asked the doctor who had just arrived to treat the wounded Japanese soldier.

But at this time, the devil had stopped moving.

When Major General Masano saw this, he actually felt a sense of grief for the loss of the rabbit.

Because just now, if he had not left his military tent, he would probably have ended up like the Japanese soldier who was killed in the explosion.

Major General Masano looked at the busy Japanese soldiers around him with mixed feelings. Even though there was no statistics on the casualties, he knew that the entire army would suffer heavy losses.

Originally he thought that he could easily defeat his opponent with his careful planning and sufficient preparation, but reality gave him a heavy slap in the face.

He recalled the bold words he spoke before setting out. At that time, he was full of confidence and thought victory was just around the corner.

However, at this moment, the scene before him made him discouraged.

The explosion of the armory not only caused them to lose most of their weapons and ammunition, but also brought the morale of his soldiers to freezing point.

Those once brave and fearless soldiers were now running around in the camp like frightened birds.

Major General Masano took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that he could not fall down at this moment. He was the pillar of the entire army. If he lost his confidence, then the entire army would be really finished.

He closed his eyes, and the faces of the fallen devils appeared in his mind. Their eyes were filled with desire for victory and loyalty to the country.

Major General Masano secretly vowed that he must avenge them and lead the remaining soldiers out of this predicament.

However, the reality is cruel.

When he opened his eyes, he still saw endless sadness.

He knew that this operation had failed. Not only did they fail to achieve the expected goal, but they also suffered heavy losses.

This made him start to doubt his decision-making and command abilities. He wondered if he had done something wrong, which led to the current situation.

Major General Masano shook his head, trying to drive these distracting thoughts out of his mind.

Because now is not the time to blame himself or regret. What he needs to do is to stabilize the morale of the troops as soon as possible and then formulate a new battle plan!
