Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2955 The Last Straw That Broke Fujino's Back!
Meanwhile, in the makeshift command tent, Captain Fujino and several officers were studying a map, discussing the retreat route for the next day and how to escape the encirclement and suppression by the anti-Japanese brigade.

However, just then, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, instantly shattering his thoughts.

Captain Fujino was startled, and the pencil he was drawing in his hand instinctively fell onto the map with a thud.

He immediately shouted loudly towards the outside of the tent, "Guards! Guards! What's going on outside?"

A guard rushed in in a panic, staggering and almost falling in front of Fujino.

Captain Fujino grabbed a guard by the collar and demanded, "Why are you in such a panic? What's going on outside? Where did that gunfire come from?"

The guard stammered, "Your Excellency, the gunfire came from the outer perimeter of the western position. The specifics... the specifics are still unclear."

Upon hearing this, Captain Fujino's face grew even more grim. He loosened the guard's collar and muttered, "How could this be? Weren't there so many sentries on the outer perimeter? Were they all wiped out by the enemy?"

Suddenly, he stopped again, looked at the guards, and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and find out what happened! I need to know the enemy's numbers, their firepower, and how many men we've lost on the outer perimeter!"

"Hi!"

The guard nodded quickly and turned to run out of the tent.

But because he was too flustered, he tripped and fell flat on his face as soon as he reached the door.

But he didn't care about any of that, he got up and kept running outside.

"You idiots!"

Fujino was speechless as he looked at his foolish subordinates. He was also very anxious as the gunfire outside the tent grew increasingly intense.

He knew that the enemy's attack would not be small-scale.

And he guessed right; it was the entire Black Army that attacked him, led by Duanwu himself.

Furthermore, the black-clad troops were all equipped with submachine guns, giving them a significant advantage in this trench warfare. Many Japanese soldiers were shot dead in the trenches before they even had a chance to fire.

Against the Black-Clad Troops, the Japanese soldiers' meager firepower was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly ineffective in creating any real obstacle.

A Japanese machine gunner had just set up his machine gun, but before he could pull the trigger, he was shot dead by Duanwu.

Duanwu's marksmanship was simply unerring; he could hit any target from 200 meters away without missing a shot.

But as the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, he also drew the attention of many more Japanese soldiers.

As the number of Japanese soldiers gradually increased, Duanwu changed his strategy. Instead of leading his soldiers in a charge, he relied on the Japanese fortifications to conduct tactical defense, creating opportunities for the other two teams.

Meanwhile, One-Eyed Dragon arrived at the designated location with his men.

Without the slightest hesitation, the one-eyed man immediately ordered the guns to fire.

After a burst of intense machine gun and submachine gun fire, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot, and the Japanese attention was drawn to the south side by the one-eyed man.

The Japanese officer shouted, "The enemy has also infiltrated our south flank! Fire!"

Upon receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers turned their guns around and began firing wildly towards the south.

Seeing this, One-Eyed Dragon smiled slightly and ordered, "Everyone, take cover from the Japanese bullets. Our mission is to draw the Japanese attention to this place."

"Yes!"

The soldiers obeyed the order and immediately used their skills; some fired at the Japanese soldiers, while others threw grenades. This mere dozen or so men displayed the ferocity of a whole company.

Meanwhile, Ma Ping'an had already quietly circled around to the vicinity of the Japanese ammunition depot on the north side.

The fighting was fierce on the west and south sides, and most of the Japanese soldiers went to reinforce them.

Ma Ping'an felt the time was right and immediately whispered the order: "Go! Blow up the Japanese ammunition depot!" "Yes, sir!"

The soldiers received the order and quickly sprang into action, rushing towards the Japanese ammunition depot.

Although the Japanese had some guards near the ammunition depot, their attention was drawn to the gunfire from the south, and they never expected anyone to attack from the north.

Ma Ping'an and his team descended like divine soldiers, quickly taking down the guards of the ammunition depot, and then began to plant the explosives.

"Hurry, hurry up!"

Ma Ping'an urged them loudly, because the commotion they had made had already attracted the attention of the Japanese soldiers, and a large number of them were returning to defend their positions, with the Japanese machine gun positions turning their guns to fire at them.

The two soldiers were not paying attention and were hit by stray bullets, falling into a pool of blood.

Ma Ping'an was extremely anxious, but just then, good news arrived.

The bomb was placed and the fuse was lit.

Without even a second thought, Ma Ping'an ordered his soldiers to evacuate immediately.

"Pursue them!"

Seeing the enemy retreat, the Japanese soldiers immediately rushed to pursue them, but unexpectedly, at that very moment, the Japanese ammunition depot suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

The moment the Japanese arsenal exploded felt like the end of the world.

A huge fireball rose from the ground and soared into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were daytime.

The fireball, mixed with countless fragments, flew outwards at extremely high speeds, turning up the soil and shattering the rocks wherever it went.

The shockwave from the explosion swept outwards like an invisible giant wave with overwhelming force.

Wherever it passed, the air was compressed instantly, producing a sharp whistling sound.

The Japanese soldiers who were still on their way back to defend their positions didn't have time to react before they were violently thrown away by the shockwave.

The surrounding fortifications were also completely destroyed by the shockwave.

The trenches were filled in, the sandbags were blown away, and even the Japanese machine gun positions were instantly razed to the ground.

The Japanese soldiers were thrown into chaos and fled in all directions amidst the continuous explosions.

Some Japanese soldiers were even knocked to the ground by their comrades, and before they could get up, they were trampled over by the people behind them, letting out a shrill scream.

The Japanese officer was greatly alarmed upon seeing this, as the explosion of the armory was no small matter.

Ignoring his men running around him, he immediately ran towards Captain Fujino's command tent.

He stumbled into the tent and shouted at Regiment Commander Fujino, "Sir! Something terrible has happened! The ammunition depot has exploded!"

Captain Fujino was already distracted by the gunfire and explosions outside, and hearing this news was like a bolt from the blue.

His body jolted violently, and he almost fell to the ground.

His eyes widened as he stared incredulously at the Japanese officer, asking, "What?! The ammunition depot exploded? What happened?"

The Japanese officer lowered his head in shame and reported tremblingly, "Sir, I don't know the specifics either, but the ammunition depot did explode, and the Imperial Army's defenses are in disarray."

Captain Fujino felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and almost fainted.

Because he knew that without ammunition, they would be like a tiger without teeth, unable to hold onto this nameless peak!
