Takeuchi is in a very bad state and in a bad mood. He is now on the verge of exploding.
He wanted to kill someone, even if he killed his own people.
His scarlet eyes glanced around, looking for someone to beat him up to vent his anger.
But now he really can't find a target to attack.
Those who deserved to be beaten were beaten. It was okay to beat people up if they were looking for trouble, but it was obviously not appropriate at this time.
As an officer who could rise to the rank of captain, he still had this bit of control.
Weinan Neji, as his most capable subordinate, was hit by the high-explosive grenade and now his life or death is unknown. He has sent someone to the Taiyuan Army Hospital.
It's been more than an hour since the explosion in the machine shop, but the damn thing still hasn't been caught.
Not only was he not caught, but he now suffered nearly a hundred casualties, and Wei Nan's team was almost completely wiped out.
With slightly insufficient troops, he had no choice but to ask for help from Taiyuan.
The number of people he can use now is only 167. After deducting the dozens of people who cannot move, the number of people he can mobilize is only a little over 100. It is obviously not enough to search such a large steel plant.
It would have been okay in normal times, but he couldn't guarantee it now, because the high-explosive grenade, Thomson, and the smoke bomb all made him deeply fearful of the Eighth Route Army.
In his impression, the Eighth Route Army were all poor people, and it was impossible for them to have such a weapon that he was not equipped with.
He also withdrew the original order to capture the victims alive, which meant that Shen Chunliang and Tu Hanqing were now in an even worse situation.
Sitting in the armored jeep, he suddenly remembered the incident that had just ended when he was bombed.
The steel plant has three workshops: blast furnace, hot rolling, and machining. Two of them have been attacked. Although the hot rolling workshop is fine now, there is still one blast furnace that has not been attacked.
It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army not to miss this core of the steel plant.
The reason why it didn't explode may be because it wasn't time yet, or maybe for other reasons.
Thinking of this, Takeuchi shouted to the driver, "Stop!"
After accepting the order, the driver immediately stepped on the brakes.
Takeuchi jumped out of the car and immediately called the messenger, "Tell the engineer squad to go to the blast furnace to check immediately to see if there are any bombs planted by the Eighth Route Army."
"Hi!" The orderer took the order.
"Well, check carefully and thoroughly, don't miss any details."
The messenger went down. Takeuchi looked at the huge blast furnace and suddenly had a bad premonition. He felt that this tall building would collapse in an instant.
After thinking for a moment, he felt that just sending out the engineer squad was obviously a bit weak.
If this cunning Eighth Route Army attacks another ambush like it did just now, then the engineer squad he sends out this time will be like Wei Nan Neji, a meat bun and a dog, never to return.
"Let's go to the blast furnace!" After giving the order to the driver, he jumped into the jeep.
The medicine Shen Chunliang took was good, carefully prepared by the Taoist priest, and the hemostatic bandage was also genuine that Dong Jinbao bought from the black market.
Under the dual effects, Shen Chunliang's injuries were basically no longer serious.
Of course, this is no longer a serious problem only for an Eighth Route Army soldier with an iron will like him. If it were an ordinary person, he would be in so much pain that he would be unable to walk.
After walking out of the open-air warehouse, Tu Hanqing saw a jeep not far away slowly driving in the direction of the blast furnace with a team of engineers and a team of guards.
"Have the Japanese discovered our bomb?" Shen Chunliang asked.
"It doesn't look like it. There are ordinary Japanese soldiers on the side of the jeep, and they look like engineers following behind. They look like they are going to investigate. With us making such a fuss, if they haven't noticed anything strange yet, it means there is something wrong with their commander's head. But if we let them pass, it is inevitable that the explosives we planted will not be discovered." Tu Hanqing said with raised eyebrows.
"Then stop them." Shen Chunliang said and pulled the bolt of Thomson's gun. "I will go to the front and put a grenade to attract their attention, and then you can make a sneak attack from the side."
"Well, the power distribution room will explode in less than twenty seconds. Then we will take advantage of the gap before they can switch to the backup power supply." Tu Hanqing looked at his watch and said.
"Okay!" Shen Chunliang said, making a gesture to indicate the direction of the two people, and then rushed out with a low body.
He silently calculated the time for the explosion in the power distribution room, and at the same time prayed that Fatty Dong's craftsmanship would not be overwhelmed at this critical moment.
With six seconds left, Thomson was given a new magazine.
With five seconds left, he adjusted his breathing.
There are still four seconds left. Check the positions of the armored vehicles and engineers again.
With three seconds left, he pulled the tab of the high-explosive grenade and cracked it on the ground.
In two seconds, he moved, like a wild horse running off the reins, and came within a blink of an eye from a distance of more than ten meters.
In one second, he pulled Thomson's trigger, and the bullets fired wildly, hitting the engineer's body with crackling sounds. The driver on the other side also reacted quickly. He stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, blocking the bullets fired from behind. At the same time, the shooter on the armored vehicle pulled the trigger of the onboard machine gun.
Zero seconds! He rolled forward to avoid the bullets and threw the grenade, which rolled under the jeep.
"boom!"
The grenade exploded with such force that the camouflaged armored vehicle flew out. It flipped several times in the air before falling to the ground with a "snap".
Shen Chunliang saw this power from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but smile with relief, and thought to himself, although Fatty's battle is unreliable, the explosives made are absolutely perfect.
"Boom!" Another explosion came from the distance, and then the entire steel plant fell into darkness.
"Da da da~"
"Da da da"
Tu Hanqing also touched the designated position at this moment, and used the crooked handle in his hand to shoot wildly at the engineers who had not been killed.
In the darkness, the gunfire disappeared, leaving only the screams of the Japanese.
Without fighting, after achieving their tactical goals, Shen Chunliang and Tu Hanqing escaped again, but this time they did not join together, but went to guard two passages leading to the blast furnace.
They all know that the Japanese have discovered something strange at the blast furnace, so they must not retreat before the blast furnace explodes.
Shen Chunliang hid behind a bunker and gasped, gritting his teeth and applying some more medicine to the wound.
The series of violent movements just now caused his wounds to collapse, and blood started to flow out again.
The backup power supply had not yet been activated. Tu Hanqing groped in the dark and dug quickly in a soft soil area.
It didn't take much effort to complete an extremely simple machine gun fortification.
The lighting in the steel plant that lost power was extremely poor, with nothing else but the faint moonlight. But under this faint moonlight, in the overturned camouflage armored vehicle, Takeuchi Konosuke's head was twisted contrary to common sense.
At this moment, he was no longer breathing, staring out the window with a pair of scarlet eyes.
Captain Yukinosuke Takeuchi was killed in action! ——
