A Scout in the War of Resistance

Chapter 42 Brake Failure

The oil drums in the oil depot were all stacked together, and one explosion immediately detonated more oil drums next to it.Although the iron barrel full of fuel exploded, so much fuel inside would not be evaporated instantly. The oil barrel flew into the air, and the fuel ignited by the high temperature was thrown everywhere with flames. Zhu Rong's fire followed the invisible fuel The liquid spread, more barrels caught fire and exploded, and more fuel oil instantly turned into a vile and beautiful fusion of flames.From time to time, a large oil barrel more than one meter high was blown into the air. With the loud noise of "Boom! Boom!", flames splashed everywhere, and the fire got out of control in the shortest possible time!

"Let's go!" Gao Quan's five trucks were too close to the fire scene, and there was a possibility of disaster at any time.Seeing that something was wrong, the gang of perpetrators started the car and fled quickly.

The devil's supply corps leader led his men on the way when he heard the explosion of the oil depot.The Colonel's heart sank suddenly, and he hurriedly urged his troops to leave.As for the small Japanese army guarding the oil depot, most of them were killed by random gunshots at the beginning. Flee, but it's too late.Everyone blocked every corner of the oil depot, and the guards of the oil depot who escaped the initial catastrophe became part of the flames after struggling in the sea of ​​flames and calling for help a few times.

When more than 300 devils rushed to the accident site under the leadership of the captain, the fire in the oil depot had already burned to the point of being uncontrollable. When they came here, there was nothing they could do except that two more devils were seriously injured.

There was such a big commotion here, even on the battlefield where the guns were ringing, Lieutenant General Sakagaki could hear the loud noise behind him.When the frightened Sakagaki was about to send someone to ask what was going on, the Captain of the Supplies Regiment had already called.Sakagaki was so angry that his face was livid, and he dropped the phone with one hand!That oil depot is the general fuel depot of his entire Fifth Division. Once the oil depot is burned, how do you let his tanks and armored vehicles drive?

The bombing of the oil depot had a chain reaction. Due to its huge sound and light effect, the impact was greater than the doctor-patient disputes in the Fourth Field Hospital.After all, few people saw what happened in the hospital. If a director Matsushita and several doctors died, as long as the military chiefs at all levels were notified to control the soldiers under him, it would not be easy for more people to know.But the explosion of this oil depot was heard by most of the people in the division, and the flames several feet high could be seen from several miles away.All the soldiers of the Fifth Division felt ominous when they saw the smoke and flames, so that when they were fighting on the battlefield, they couldn't concentrate their energy. There were a few attacks that should have the upper hand, and they were abruptly defeated. The 59th Army was defeated.

Lieutenant General Sakagaki was so angry and hated that he dismissed the unlucky captain of the supply corps at that time, and what awaited him would be severe punishment by the military court of the headquarters.The lieutenant general once again informed the entire army that the oil depot incident is a typical safety incident, and all troops must take it as a warning, strengthen awareness of fire prevention and theft prevention, and prevent similar vicious incidents from happening again.

As for the gunshots before the explosion of the oil depot, it was deliberately concealed by the wise Lieutenant General Sakagaki. That is too embarrassing, the fifth division will be reduced to the laughing stock of all divisions in the entire empire.

Not to mention how Lieutenant General Sakagaki was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, he arranged to trace the course of these vicious incidents.As far as Gao Quan is concerned, it is said that his five trucks are already very conspicuous. He has been around the oil depot, so he must have been seen. He cannot kill all the witnesses.Xiaohezi Village, fifteen miles to the southwest, is not far, but not at all close.Gao Quan knew that Itagaki Seishiro must have dispatched a large number of men to search for his five vehicles. Normally, they should get off the vehicles and form a file to walk through the Japanese army defense area, but the risk is also great, the distance is long, and the time is long. If there are any flaws on the road, although taking a car is more risky, but he can beat the time, and now time is victory.

Gao Quan's guess was correct. Just half an hour after the oil depot exploded, Sakagaki received a report from the armored brigade, saying that they had only gone to the oil station to pick up fuel 10 minutes before the explosion. See you near the oil depot. Seeing five strange military vehicles, combined with the descriptions of eyewitnesses in the hospital, before the riots broke out in the Fourth Field Hospital, some people also saw a convoy of five vehicles headed by an armored personnel carrier.Itagaki Seishiro immediately realized that there was something wrong with these five vehicles, and immediately, in the name of the division headquarters, telegraphed to all the troops that as soon as they found these five suspicious vehicles, they would be detained immediately for interrogation, and those who did not obey orders could be intercepted by force. <The wind was blowing head-on, although the soldiers did not speak, the smiles on their faces showed how relaxed and happy they were at the moment.

Gao Quan had already sat on the first armored truck at this time, and he wanted to know whether there was any emergency along the way as soon as possible.A patrol team of about 30 people appeared in front of them. We have encountered several such patrol teams along the way, and the devil's vigilance has obviously strengthened.

The driver Gao Guozhong was just thinking about the same as the previous few times. As soon as he gasped and drove over, the patrol team suddenly crossed the middle of the road, and two Japanese sergeants among them waved their hands, signaling the convoy to stop.Gao Guozhong turned his head and glanced at Gao Quan, asking for the chief's opinion.

"Speed ​​up, drive over!"

Gao Quan's cold voice made Gao Guozhong stunned, and then the Japanese driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the moving car let out a low growl, and jumped forward suddenly, and the people in the car were habitual Leaning back, the armored truck rushed towards the patrol team blocking the road like crazy!

"Get out of the way! The brakes are out of order!" At the critical moment, Gao Quan didn't forget to poke his head out of the car, and yelled loudly at the obviously dumbfounded patrol team. It's like the car broke down.

The two sergeants blocking the road in the middle of the road were still in a daze, and the soldiers next to them had already pulled their chiefs aside. Five cars rushed past each other with the sound of the wind, and the dust was blown up. The devil patrol team looked at each other.

"Baga! How do these car soldiers drive?" One of the sergeants cursed angrily.

"The brakes failed. How could five vehicles fail at the same time? These vehicles must be the ones that caused the accident reported by the division headquarters!" Doubtful.In order to cover up the truth of the matter, the head of the Sakagaki Division still did not announce his suspicions to the public, but only said that these trucks violated military discipline and caused a car accident, and asked the patrol teams at all levels to conduct strict investigations, and demanded that people be detained after discovery Well, if it was clearly stated that these vehicles were shot by the police, the patrol team would have shot and shot them immediately, so they would not have asked to stop the vehicles.

When the patrol team reported their new findings to the wing, and the wing reported to the division, Lieutenant General Sakagaki immediately opened the map and began to check the possible direction of the convoy.Are there any important military facilities over there?Going forward is an ordinary small village, Xiaohezi Village. In the village, there is only one squad and a cavalry commander who is injured and recovering from illness.Cavalry Colonel?Chen Xiang Gong Heng II? !Lieutenant General Sakagaki's eyes widened in an instant!
