I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 812 Shinozuka is finished
Speaking of Shinozuka Kazuo, after sending two guards out of the cave to convey his order to counterattack, he walked to his desk and sat down.

He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Sakurai Shoji.

Get ready to drink some tea and calm down.

By the way, show the demeanor of a general.

However, before he could feed the tea to his mouth, he suddenly saw a sudden light in the direction of the cave entrance, which almost blinded his eyes.

Just as he was about to yell, "What's going on?", a huge explosion sounded in his ears.

"boom!"

Then I felt a wave of heat coming towards me, as if it could roast me to death.

This time, Kazuo Shinozuka no longer cared about the tea in his hand, and fell to the ground like a dog eating shit.

Sakurai Shoji next to him was not slow to act, he also quickly fell to the ground and shouted to him in fear:
"Commander, this is a firebomb from the Tubalu Army!!!"

"Incendiary bomb? Damn it!
Our locust army's incendiary bombs are extremely scarce. Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many of them?

Which force is deliberately opposing our locust army? "

Shinozuka Kazuo roared.

Then, he felt that the air in the cave seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and he quickly ordered the panicked combat staff, telegraph operators and other confidential personnel in the cave:
"Hurry up, go inside! Stick to the stone wall!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed over, hiding in the innermost part of the cave, with his back pressed tightly against the wall to avoid the heat waves outside.

Sakurai Shoji couldn't help but admire the fact that although this guy was already in his 50s, his reaction was still so quick.

He quickly followed and did the same thing, hiding in the corner.

……

This cave is very spacious, but its disadvantage is that it is not deep enough.

So although there was some coolness on the mountain wall, it was obviously not enough for Kazuo Shinozuka and others to ignore the increasingly hot air.

The sound of artillery shells exploding outside could be heard continuously, and the air was getting hotter and hotter. Kazuo Shinozuka began to sweat profusely.

While unbuttoning his military uniform, he yelled:
"Quick, bring some water!"

Following his order, the guards hiding aside hurriedly brought a kettle despite the heat wave.

Kazuo Shinozuka snatched it away, unscrewed the lid and poured it into his mouth.

After drinking half the pot in one breath, he poured the rest of the water on his head and body.

He completely disregarded his dignity as a commander.

After wasting a pot of water, it was still not enough, so he continued to order:
"Hurry up, bring the other kettles!"

The Japanese soldiers were all sweating profusely and were soaked all over.

Hearing his order, I couldn't help but hesitate.

A combat staff officer carefully reminded:

"Commander, we don't have much water left."

Upon hearing this, Shinozuka Kazuo could not help but roar:

"idiot!
Why haven’t the idiots outside eliminated the Tubalu and put out the fire yet?

This bunch of rubbish should all be loyal to His Majesty the Heavenly Locust!"

Sakurai Shoji's lips were dry, and he suggested in a dry voice:

"Commander, if we continue, we will be roasted here. How about we arrange for someone to rush out and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Kazuo Shinozuka nodded.

Turning his head, he saw a relatively tall guard who immediately ordered:

"Matsumoto-kun, I order you to rush out and take a look immediately!
Look which bastard didn't put out the fire, I'm going to shoot him!"

Upon hearing this, the guard Saburo Matsumoto couldn't help but tremble all over.

He could feel the heat wave from here, so he knew what it was like outside without having to think about it.

But seeing that the two big guys, Kazuo Shinozuka and Shoji Sakurai, were staring at him, he really didn't dare to say a word of "no".

He was silent for a moment, until sweat flowed into his eyes and he felt so uncomfortable that he almost cried. Then he uttered a few words dryly:
"Hey! Please give me a pot of water first!" Seeing that he agreed, Shinozuka Kazuo would not refuse his request and immediately ordered:
"Give Matsumoto-kun a bottle of water!"

Saburo Matsumoto got the water and immediately drank it in big gulps. Then he wiped his face with the water, took off the grenades, bullets and other items on his body, and rushed out while howling.

Then, a dozen seconds later, everyone present heard his screams:

"Ah! What a big fire!
The mountain is burning!
ah--"

At this moment, Shinozuka Kazuo's face turned pale, and he was no longer interested in leaning his back against the stone wall.

Instead, he turned to Sakurai Shoji and said:

"What a vicious Tubalu!

They are going to burn us alive!"

Sakurai Shoji regretted it so much that he wanted to pull out his intestines and wash them to see if he could get rid of the blue color.

Sad face suggestion:
"Commander, we can wet our clothes with water and rush out.

As long as we are fast enough, the fire won't kill us!"

There was a subtext that he didn't say, which was: At most it's just a burn, whether you die or not depends on luck.

Just as Shinozuka Kazuo was about to reply that the chances of survival were too low, a combat staff officer suddenly shouted in surprise:
"Commander, listen! The sound of artillery fire outside is gradually fading away!

The Tubalu troops have run out of incendiary bombs. As long as we hold on, we can survive!"

Upon hearing this, Shinozuka Kazuo immediately showed joy on his face, and then gave the order:
"Hurry up, hand over all the kettles, no one is allowed to waste water!"

Seeing this guy being so shameless, everyone present was speechless.

But since he was the commander, they didn't dare to attack.

All they could do was to search the entire cave for the water bottles and have them distributed by Kazuo Shinozuka.

This guy kept most of it for himself and Sakurai Shoji, leaving only a few pots for others.

In the following time, they stayed in the cave, drinking water and waiting for the fire to go out.

Trying to survive this catastrophe.

But what they didn't expect was that not long after, before they had finished drinking the water, everyone gradually felt that breathing became difficult.

Even some of the weaker people began to fall down one after another.

Everyone died in a very miserable way, as if the devil had strangled them by the throat.

At first, Kazuo Shinozuka thought they died of thirst and didn't take it seriously.

A few more words:
"It is their honor to be loyal to His Majesty the Heavenly Locust!"

However, after a moment he felt himself starting to have trouble breathing.

Feeling chest tightness and weakness, he hurriedly poured the water in the kettle into his mouth, but he found that it had no effect.

I couldn't help but exclaimed:
“What… happened?
I can't breathe!
Is it poisoned?"

This was naturally caused by the fire burning at the entrance of the cave, which required oxygen and consumed a large amount of oxygen in the cave.

At this time, Sakurai Shoji next to him was not in a much better condition. He pointed at the fire at the entrance of the cave and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything at all. He collapsed to the ground and died.

When Shinozuka Kazuo saw this, he was filled with despair.

He deeply regretted not listening to Sakurai Shoji's advice at the beginning. He poured all the water on himself and rushed out in flames.

Now, after suffering torture for such a long time, he still can't escape death. It's such a huge loss!
He couldn't help but feel angry when he thought that he, the commander of the First Army, had died in such a cowardly and unclear way in this dark cave.

He immediately used up the last of his strength to straighten his military uniform, then drew the sword bestowed by the Heavenly Locust at his waist and stabbed himself in the stomach.

Be prepared to retain the last bit of decency.

Unfortunately, his hands and feet were weak now, and when the sharp blade pierced the fat on his belly, he had no strength and courage left and could not stab any further.

He could only lie down on the ground, enduring the double pain of chest tightness and flesh pain, slowly dying in agony!
