"what happened?"
"Why did it explode?"
"In the end what happened?"
················
Generals and officials from various countries were panicked.
The captain of the airship finally stabilized the rampaging airship. They were almost blown away by the storm of explosions.
That explosion was absolutely horrific. It was as if several tons of TNT explosives had been detonated together. Two mushroom clouds rose from the scene.
If they were not far away from the battlefield, the entire airship would have been shattered by flying bricks and tiles.
But even so, the airship was damaged and must land as soon as possible, otherwise it is not certain that everyone on the airship will sink into the Suzhou River.
The airship evacuated, but the horrified General Philip still did not come to his senses.
At this time, apart from being frightened by the explosion, the most confusing thing was.
Because he couldn't figure out how the young commander buried the explosives under the rubble.
Is it difficult for a person to crawl into the ruins like a mouse?
This is simply impossible. How can a person turn into a mouse? What's more, that's several tons of TNT. Unless those explosives flow into the ruins like liquid, they will never have such an effect.
He felt that Duanwu was a terrible commander. Ever since he took over Sihang Warehouse, he seemed to have anticipated everything and made preparations in advance.
"Is a Japanese army unit going to end like this? It's really ridiculous."
Philip smiled mockingly to himself. Originally, he was sure that the defeat of the Chinese army was a foregone conclusion. And he even guessed the show at Sihang Warehouse.
It's just that he guessed the beginning, but he didn't guess the ending. A young officer actually changed the entire situation of the war.
A full Japanese army regiment probably has a total number of about 4,000 people. As a result, they were all buried outside Sihang Warehouse.
He saw with his own eyes the fighting power of the Japanese army. Otherwise, how could the British Empire allow someone to be arrogant and domineering in front of it?
It was obvious that a few decades ago, there was a group of wild monkeys who had no ability to resist, with an average height of less than 1.5 meters. Why should they be on an equal footing with the British Empire?
But Japan has really risen, and it can actually challenge this old colonialist. Moreover, the British Empire had to recognize Japan's international status and was blindly tolerant and compromised.
However, this ridiculous idea seems to have been shattered today. In his eyes, the rise of Japan is not scary. What is scary is this young Chinese officer.
He is wise, he is crazy, and he combines all the qualities of a soldier.
In this young officer, he saw a sleeping Eastern dragon awakening.
Deep in his heart, he also recalled the terrible iron hoof of the Yuan Empire.
That was an existence that dominated half of Europe. And if the Chinese at that time had not defeated the lion, the entire Europe would have perished under the iron heel of the Yuan Empire.
At this moment, he felt shuddering just thinking about it. He wanted to transmit everything he saw back to the empire exactly as it was. He could not let those desperate, arrogant militants anger this Eastern dragon again.
General Philip's thoughts returned to reality with the crash landing of the airship.
He got off the airship and walked away alone, ignoring the calls of others.
Philip couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to send the information here back to the empire as soon as possible. Otherwise, he felt that the good days of the British were coming to an end.
At the same time, other generals from various countries seemed to understand something when they saw Philip leaving in a hurry.
But they were not as anxious as Philip. Some are even saying that it was just a coincidence. The Chinese are not that powerful at all. And although the explosion was spectacular, it may not be able to wipe out all the Japanese troops. There is still a fight to be fought!
And sure enough, these foreign generals are not all just for a living. They relied on their own experience to guess such a result.
Although the explosion just now was very violent, it was scattered at various points and exploded simultaneously.
In other words, if one ton of TNT exploded in one location, the entire ruin would probably cease to exist.
But this explosion was violent enough. But there are too many explosion points. Dispersing a ton of TNT into hundreds of explosion points was like launching a carpet bombardment in the Japanese camp.
And since it was a bombardment, there would naturally be survivors.
What's more, the little devils didn't stand on the ruins, but gathered on the street and prepared to charge.
So in addition to the Japs who were shocked to death, beaten to death by flying bricks and broken tiles, and burned to death by the flames spewing from the sewers, at least half of the Japs survived with their tenacious lives.
Some of them were screaming, and some were shaking their heads.
The explosion had made them unable to hear anything, and their minds were buzzing.
Two Type 92 infantry guns were also crushed under countless rubble and construction debris.
The whole scene looked miserable, but well deserved.
Because no one invited them to come to this land of China.
They are here to invade, they are here to kill and plunder.
So facing such a group of bandits, what reason is there to sympathize with them?
················
"Everyone, get ready, rush with me!"
Just when the Japanese army fell into chaos due to the explosion, Duanwu drew his sword and ordered the entire army to charge.
All the more than 600 soldiers of the Independent Regiment, whether they were new recruits or veterans, moved forward fifty meters smoothly along the inherent fortifications, under the cover of fire and gunpowder smoke.
This was a safe fifty meters. Not only did the little devil not notice it, but he was also moving very fast.
In the trenches of the forward position, everyone stopped briefly, and Duanwu ordered again: "The machine gunner rushes in front, and shoots all the bullets for me within a hundred meters.
The machine gunner stops at a position of 100 meters, and the infantry charges another 50 meters, launches echelon shooting, uses up all the bullets, and then fights the Japanese with bayonets. Do you understand? "
"clear!"
All the soldiers responded, and then rushed out of the trench like tigers and wolves.
At this time, the smoke from the explosion has not dissipated, and granular sand and stones will fall down from time to time and hit people.
But this is the best cover for the independent group.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment suddenly appeared in front of the little devil like wild beasts dormant in the dark night.
The Japanese who suffered heavy casualties in the previous explosion have not yet recovered. Some people don't even recover their hearing.
At this moment, the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Independent Regiment came over and caught the little Japanese completely off guard.
At this time, the little devil occupies two great disadvantages. The first disadvantage was that they had just encountered an unprecedented explosion.
This explosion not only caused heavy casualties to the little devils, but also caused most of the little devils to lose their hearing.
Secondly, the trenches in front of Sihang Warehouse played a key role. The independent regiment lurked secretly, shortening the distance of the charge.
And thirdly, the smoke obscured the little devil's vision.
So just when the little devil was panicking and was even deafened by the explosion just now, the Independent Regiment came over like a god descending from heaven and killed him! ...
