Chapter 46 A Shocking Explosion

The Chinese people on the south bank of Suzhou River in the concession were absolutely thrilled today.

Their mood was like a roller coaster of twists and turns.

First, the Japanese army was so powerful that it seemed that they could conquer the warehouse building in one battle, which made people very worried; then the Chinese defenders emerged suddenly, and a wave of firepower output made the Japanese invaders lose their prestige and struggle for their lives; then the Japanese army showed its power on the front battlefield and suppressed the firepower of the Chinese defenders, and their hearts were lifted again...

However, the fierce battle of more than ten minutes made the Chinese people's hearts fluctuate greatly, and their throats suffered even more. Many people's throats had been hoarse, and they couldn't make a loud sound at this time.

Then, a dozen dark blue military uniforms suddenly stood up at the window of the warehouse near the river, shouting at the top of their voices: "Stupid kids, get down for me! Hold your heads up!"

...

Stupid! A face full of confusion!

Not to mention that the Western soldiers responsible for maintaining order on the shore were very confused, even the Chinese people were confused.

Although Sichuan dialect has a strong accent, it is not as difficult to understand as the Jiangnan dialect. It is normal for two neighboring counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to not understand each other's speech. Chinese people who can hear this sound basically understand it.

The only people who can't understand it are foreigners.

That is, it is a bit difficult to accept psychologically.

What does it mean? We cheer for you, and you call us idiots?

Of course, there are also smart people. Seeing the anxious state of more than a dozen soldiers with red faces and thick necks who are about to shout their throats, they immediately lie on the ground and call on the people around them to lie down.

Herd mentality is like this. Seeing that many people are doing this, those who haven't figured it out also lie down, and those who haven't lied down are also dragged down.

The middle-aged man in a long robe who was excited to take his son to buy cakes was more clever. He quickly pulled his wife and children to hide in the corner of a building, and used his body to protect the two people he wanted to protect the most.

His father is from Sichuan, and he knows that "Gua Wa Zi" is just a catchphrase in Sichuan Province. It can be shouted like this, and the subtext is just that those who don't lie down are idiots, ha!

"What?" Lieutenant Xifang's face was full of question marks.

And his immediate superior's immediate superior, the brigadier general who was still sighing slightly and preparing to express his thoughts, looked at the Chinese people who suddenly fell on the shore, his face froze slightly, and he didn't care about bragging to his subordinates anymore, and suddenly looked up into the distance, his pupils shrank fiercely.

"Shit!"

"Target No. 1, detonate!"

Tang Dao's voice was as cold as a knife.

"Blast it for me!" Liu Datou, who received Tang Dao's order, was as hot as fire.

The sergeant squad leader who pressed the detonator rod hard was flushed at that moment, and it seemed that his head was swollen because of excitement.

How could he not be excited!

The 1st Battalion, who was determined to die, brought a thousand kilograms of explosives before coming, intending to send themselves and the position to the sky at the last moment. Who would have thought that Tang Dao would persuade the deputy regiment to change his mind as soon as he arrived, and put half of the explosives elsewhere.

Liu Datou thought the same as most people. Suzhou Hebei Road is a very prosperous street in Zhabei District. There are many buildings similar to the Sihang Warehouse on both sides of the street. Although many of them were damaged and turned into ruins in the artillery fire, there are still several buildings left. Who knows which one the Japanese will choose?

It is no problem to blow up a building with hundreds of kilograms of explosives, but if the explosions are dispersed, it will not have the best effect.

It was still Tang Dao who selected the building. He almost bet everything on the four-story bank building more than 200 meters away.

Although Tang Dao is very powerful, this can only be a gamble. With the idea that flying bricks may be able to smash the Japanese to a bloody head, the first squad of the third platoon arranged the explosion point under the leadership of the squad leader Datou. The ultra-long distance of more than 200 meters also used up all the special wires for explosions, including digging trenches, burying, and camouflage. This project alone took a lot of effort.

Then, no one expected that the Japanese actually entered the building.

Now, we finally don't have to rely on bricks and wood chips to hit people.

Instead, we can fly people in the air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were several deafening noises that were almost indistinguishable from each other. At the same time that visible flames appeared in various places of the bank building about 200 meters away from the Sihang Warehouse, an invisible force swept around.

The brigadier general, whose pupils were still shrinking, didn't care about "sh*t" or "wow", and rolled to the crude and simple fortifications on the roof with a hook of his waist.

That thing was just for the occasion, but who knew it could really be used. The agile posture of the old man in his fifties did not match his age at all.

The shock wave of this degree of explosion may not kill people from such a distance, but a flying brick can still kill people.

What noble and military manners, only the living can hear the evaluation of others. Brigadier General Smallett has lived for more than fifty years and is very transparent.

The Chinese are so cruel!

"What?" The Western lieutenant who was knocked down by the shock wave in the fortifications fainted gloriously after asking the last question.

In comparison, his subordinates who had been lying in the fortifications had their heads dove down at that moment, and the damage they suffered was much less, at most they were hit by the falling debris.

The Chinese people lying on the ground now knew why they were asked to lie down. If they didn't lie down, they would be like a leaf in front of such a shock wave, even if they were more than 300 meters away.

Fortunately, they were far enough away, and there was a river several meters deep that divided the battlefield and their location into two.

Otherwise, with their unprofessional crawling, I don’t know how many people would become victims of this terrible explosion.

If the chest and abdomen touch the ground, the seismic waves caused by this degree of explosion are enough to break the human internal organs.

In the Battle of Songhu, many soldiers did not die directly from the shock wave of the artillery explosion, but were killed by hiding in trenches and anti-gun holes.

The Suzhou River, which originally had only a few ripples, was actually surging at this moment, and the waves rolled up were more than two meters high, as if a giant hand was stirring the river fiercely.

For the Sihang Warehouse, which was a little closer, the shock wave was naturally stronger, but the soldiers had already made all preparations in advance, stuffed cotton in their ears, and squatted in a strong enough position with their hands holding their heads.

But the terrible explosion still made them dizzy and dizzy, and the building that was so strong that even the 70mm infantry gun could not penetrate seemed to be trembling, and dust kept falling from the ceiling.

200 meters away, the Chinese defenders hiding in the building with half-meter-thick walls could still feel this destructive force, let alone the place closer to the detonation point.

The air waves generated by the violent explosion of hundreds of kilograms spread out and destroyed the surrounding buildings, but there were also several buildings dozens of meters away from it and on both sides. Although they were shaken by the air waves like small boats in the waves, they were blocked after all. This is also the main reason why the Chinese people who crawled to the ground were not injured. It is just estimated that their hearing will be damaged to a certain extent after today.

The shock waves in front, left and right were all blocked, and more energy could only be released to the rear.

Most of the rear were small alleys composed of countless residential houses with mixed brick and wood structures like Songhu. They had long been destroyed by artillery fire into a pile of broken walls and ruins. How could they withstand such violent energy?

Destroying with great force, wherever the air waves went, the broken walls became flat and the ruins became rubble. If you look from the sky, with the building blown up by 500 kilograms of explosives as the center, the damage caused by the air wave radiating outward is like a regular fan.

In this fan, the ruins have become even more ruins.

Toyota Hide just ordered his two infantry squadrons to move forward to about 400 meters in front of the Sihang Warehouse. In order to prevent being hit by the machine guns on the roof of the warehouse, more than 300 people moved more than 500 meters horizontally.

It seems that there are one or two infantry squads, just at the edge of the fan...

Toyota Hide, about 600 meters away from the explosion point, screamed!
