The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 679 Burning Down the Demon's Lair (Part 3) (Bonus chapter for readers 2020...1751)

Using a Type 38 rifle, a satchel charge was placed against the wall of what appeared to be a warehouse and secured.

The guard yanked the fuse, igniting the explosive charge, and immediately shouted "Get down!" as he sprinted backward.

Throughout this process, the serious police officers of the entire modern world wore expressions of indescribable pride and delight.

Just minutes before, he and about twenty of his men were about to storm into the warehouse and burn it to the ground.

To their surprise, they discovered that this seemingly ordinary warehouse, which appeared no different from others, was surprisingly well-defended.

Not only were there more than thirty Japanese soldiers guarding the inside, but they also had two Type 96 light machine guns in their hands.

Caught off guard, two of the guards were shot. Although neither wound was fatal, it still left the guards, whose operation had gone exceptionally smoothly that night, feeling extremely frustrated.

Furthermore, with the Japanese having two light machine guns providing crossfire, they were temporarily unable to advance.

However, for Shouzheng, who was a seasoned veteran and had plenty of resources for this battle, it was not a big deal.

While calling to his twelve or thirteen brothers to continue exchanging fire with the Japanese and drawing their attention, he led the remaining brothers to a position on one side of the warehouse.

After secretly releasing a rifle and a pack of explosives from the vegetable basket, he planned to blow up the wall and then rush in for another assault.

And so, the beginning unfolded, and that scene occurred...

After running for about twenty meters, the guard suddenly dropped to the ground.

Almost immediately, an explosion that was louder than usual rang out; the reason for this was that the explosive charge contained genuine TNT obtained from the Jiamusi City arsenal.

It's not like the granular black powder explosives they made themselves using materials like charcoal, sulfur, saltpeter, and egg whites; their power is definitely not comparable.

After the flying bricks and other debris subsided, the noise from them flying overhead gradually subsided.

The guard immediately leaped to his feet, grabbed a Czech light machine gun, and sprinted towards the hole that had nearly blasted down an entire wall.

The seven or eight KL brothers behind him quickly followed.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese soldiers in the warehouse were stunned by the bombing, they cooperated with the brothers at the main gate and soon wiped out all the Japanese soldiers entrenched there.

The whole process was incredibly easy, like a whirlwind.

That's why, when he fired three bullets and took out the last Japanese soldier in the warehouse, Morimasa was quite pleased with himself.

There was a feeling that they were just a bunch of insignificant Japanese devils.

This continued until he was able to see clearly the area not far away by the light coming in from outside the door and windows.

The boxes, neatly stacked in layers, were mostly marked with a red laurel wreath emblem.

And they also bear the words 'carrying anthrax diagnostic equipment' and 'veterinary and animal production instruments' respectively.

I shuddered violently; I was so scared I almost died.

No other reason than that! According to the historical data he possessed, the weapons such as bacteria and poison gas produced by the Japanese were disguised under the aforementioned false names.

Therefore, his act of daring to use a proper TNT explosive charge to blast a hole in the warehouse was tantamount to dancing with death.

If I had been just a tiny bit unlucky, I would have died a hundred times over by now.

No wonder so many Japanese soldiers held their ground against such an ordinary warehouse.

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Shouzheng issued the order in a trembling voice: "Get out of here immediately, as far away from this hellhole as possible."

Be careful not to knock over these boxes; they contain poison gas and bacteriological bombs made by the Japanese.

Upon hearing this, all the KL warriors paled.

If they had no concept of these weapons before, what they saw with their own eyes tonight made them clearly aware of what kind of demons they were.

He hurriedly followed the guard's orders and ran outside.

Seeing that the guard was standing still, she still called out with concern, "Commander, you should run too!"

Upon hearing this, the guard replied, "You go first, I'll plant some delayed-action bombs; we must destroy these damned things, we can't let the Japanese use them to harm our colleagues and compatriots." That's right! This warehouse is quite large, so the total amount of bacterial bombs and poison gas bombs inside could easily be over a hundred tons.

If the Japanese had used it on the battlefield, or in the Kuomintang-controlled areas or our Party's base areas...

God knows! How many casualties and how many families will be devastated.

Having considered these scenarios, the guards decided to destroy all the poison gas and bacteriological bombs to prevent them from being used by the Japanese.

However, just as the KL brothers had retreated a considerable distance, the guards were preparing to release a large amount of explosives and fuel from the vegetable basket to completely destroy the warehouse.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and a bold idea arose in his mind:

As expected, after destroying Unit 731 tonight, they will immediately return to the modern world and then face the actions of the island nation.

Therefore, based on basic human decency, these poison gas and bacteriological weapons should not be used on Japanese civilians.

But surely it wouldn't be a problem to apply it to the brains of those Japanese troops who claim that if Taiwan is in trouble, it means they are in trouble too?
After all, they created this themselves, so getting some of this is just retribution.

Or perhaps, it wouldn't matter if it were used on the heads of soldiers stationed on the island nation? After all, they've been intentionally or unintentionally indulging the Japanese, so let them enjoy the Japanese's tribute.

After these bold ideas came to mind, the ammunition that the guards had previously despised suddenly became a treasure.

With lightning speed, they quickly collected all the poison gas bombs and bacterial bombs into the space inside the vegetable basket.

Finally, a large amount of explosives and fuel were released. A fuse that could burn for about three minutes was attached to one of the explosives, and it was lit before he ran away.

As he sprinted, the thought of tons of poison gas and biological bombs crashing down on the soldiers' base on the island filled him with extreme elation.

Even the night breeze seems to carry a sweet scent...

*******
At the same time, another member of the time traveler team also discovered the vegetable basket, a rather unconventional spatial device.

With a thud, Mina slammed her fist on the plane's instrument panel, her pretty face filled with frustration and resentment.

Could it be that her attempt to cause trouble over Halbing in her fighter jet today didn't go smoothly? Of course not.

During World War II, the Japanese ground-based anti-aircraft firepower was incredibly poor; it was only against the Nationalist army, whose aircraft were almost all destroyed, that it didn't seem so inadequate.

The Kwantung Army garrison in Harbin, being far from the Russian border, had no concept of being subject to air raids.

So even though the troops are equipped with some anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, they are all now sitting in warehouses gathering dust, and no anti-aircraft positions have been set up at all.

In addition, the fighter planes equipped by the Kwantung Army no longer have much night combat capability.

So when Mina began her operation tonight, apart from the firepower of the Type 38 rifles on the ground and some light and heavy machine guns, she had absolutely no chance to retaliate.

Such a counterattack is a joke at high speeds.

Therefore, the plane piloted by Mina was like a wolf rushing into a sheepfold, completely unmatched.

This girl recklessly used an aircraft machine gun to sweep the ground, searching for bombs to drop; the whole process was incredibly exhilarating.

The crux of the problem lies precisely in this aspect.

Before she knew it, Mina realized with dismay that the bombs and machine gun ammunition on the plane had all been used up.

Even though the Japanese soldiers on the ground were all defenseless and as docile as lambs, she had no means of attacking; she couldn't very well just hold a pistol and fire at the ground.

In her frustration, Mina had a sudden inspiration.

As the plane flew over a group of Japanese soldiers, on a whim, some gasoline from the vegetable baskets was released, creating a gasoline rain down on the Japanese.

Unfortunately, there were several Japanese soldiers on the ground firing futilely into the air.

The scalding bullets immediately ignited the gasoline, turning the gasoline rain into a rain of fire that enveloped them, causing terrifying area casualties.

As for what Mina will use after she runs out of gasoline and returns to the island nation in the modern world, what will she use?
That's a terrible question. If you have money, you can buy any amount of gasoline in the modern world.

Besides, why buy gasoline? A million cubic meters of space, even if filled with rocks, suddenly released from a great height would be incredibly destructive...
