Chapter 953 This is what you call efficiency
The building collapsed, affecting a wide area; all buildings and personnel within the headquarters of the Japanese 13th Army were destroyed.
Buildings around the main building, regardless of size, were damaged to varying degrees by the blast wave. Some houses had their roofs blown off, some walls that were not strong enough were directly knocked down by the blast wave, and the windows of houses further away were all shattered.
The Japanese soldiers who were working in the building before the explosion were buried in the rubble when the building collapsed. Some of the Japanese soldiers who were in other buildings or on patrol outside the office building were killed by the explosion, some were seriously injured, and some suffered minor injuries.
Several minutes passed after the building collapsed before cries for help and screams of pain could be heard from outside the rubble.
The person who had sustained minor injuries got up from the ground and saw the devastation all around. Seeing many people lying outside the rubble, and remembering that many others were buried inside the office building, he immediately shouted, "Help! Come quickly and help!"
One of the lightly wounded soldiers shouted, "Quickly, someone go outside and call the nearby military police and garrison to come and rescue us!"
The scene was extremely tragic. Many Japanese soldiers lay scattered on the ground outside the ruins. They were the Japanese soldiers who were patrolling and standing guard before the explosion. These people were closest to the explosion point, and apart from the Japanese soldiers inside the office building, they were the ones who suffered the most severe injuries from the blast.
Not long after the explosion, some Japanese military police patrolling the nearby streets rushed over after hearing the explosion and seeing the flash. As time went on, more and more Japanese soldiers arrived.
Although the explosion site was extremely tragic, the search and rescue and rubble clearing work only became orderly after a Japanese lieutenant colonel arrived and took command, whereas it had been chaotic before.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yunhe had already left the city and was guarding the only road that Zetian would take back to Lin'an.
If you're going to set up an ambush, you need to prepare in advance.
Zhang Yunhe dug 18 holes on the road that Zetian's convoy would inevitably take, buried 18 bombs in them, covered them with soil and ash to make them invisible, and then ambushed them in the branches of a large weeping willow tree 100 meters away from the road.
He was certain that Sawada would order the convoy to turn back after receiving the telegram, because if there were any problems with logistics, the battle would not only be extremely unfavorable to the Japanese army, but they might even be attacked by a counterattack, which would have extremely serious consequences.
Given this incident, Sawada had to return to headquarters to handle it and personally oversee the matter.
The Sawada team set off at 3 p.m. and it would take at least 4 hours to return. Zhang Yunhe wasn't in a hurry. He tied himself to a tree branch, set the timer, and then fell fast asleep.
At midnight, Zhang Yunhe woke up. He ate some braised dishes and roast chicken that he had brought from the restaurant, and drank some water. Soon after, he saw lights coming from the far end of the highway.
"They're here!" Zhang Yunhe perked up immediately upon seeing the headlights shining on them.
Soon, the roar of the convoy's car engines could be heard.
Zhang Yunhe took out the remote control and waited patiently. His purpose for this trip was to kill Sawada, that old Japanese devil. This old guy was wicked and his hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people.
He didn't want to kill the Japanese soldiers accompanying him one by one at this moment. That would be too inefficient and too time-consuming. It would be better to use bombs. With so many bombs, he didn't believe that he couldn't kill the old Japanese soldier Sawada and his guards.
Seeing that the entire Sawada convoy had entered the bomb's blast radius, Zhang Yunhe pressed the button on the remote control without hesitation.
"Boom boom boom..." The 18 buried bombs exploded violently almost simultaneously.
Some cars were blown high into the air and then crashed heavily to the ground. Some cars were blown away, and some trucks were overturned. All the car windows were shattered. No car was spared. All vehicles in the convoy, including the sidecars, were destroyed.
After the explosion, many car fuel tanks ruptured, causing gasoline to leak out and start a fire.
Even though Zhang Yunhe was hiding in a tree 100 meters away, he was still affected by the shockwave and was almost blown away by it.
After the shockwave subsided, Zhang Yunhe looked at the explosion site on the highway again. On the screen scanned by the Iron Blood Mask, flames soared into the sky, creating a large heat source. The people were all inside the vehicles at this time; some were killed instantly, and others were dying.
"That's what efficiency is all about!"
He jumped down from the tree and walked towards the road, observing the situation at the explosion site as he went.
As the vehicle caught fire, some of the Japanese soldiers inside, who had been knocked unconscious by the explosion, were awakened by the flames. They desperately kicked open the doors and tried to escape, but their bodies were engulfed in flames, and they screamed in agony. Although they escaped the vehicle, they could not escape the flames.
Zhang Yunhe strolled around the explosion site on the highway and found the old Japanese soldier, Sawada. Although he had never met the old guy before, the rank insignia on the old man's uniform betrayed his identity.
To Zhang Yunhe's surprise, Zetian was not killed in the explosion. He was only slightly injured and unconscious. This was after the car was thrown into the air by the explosion and landed, which knocked him unconscious.
The squadron of guards and accompanying personnel totaled 225 people. By this time, 189 people had died from burns, explosions, shocks, and falls. Another 27 people were seriously injured and on the verge of death. Including Sawada, only 9 people with minor injuries were still alive.
Zhang Yunhe took the life of these 27 seriously wounded Japanese soldiers, ending their suffering.
There were also nine lightly wounded Japanese soldiers who were unconscious at this time. They were either stunned by the explosion or knocked unconscious by the vehicles that were blown up and fell off.
Zhang Yunhe was in high spirits and decided to play a game with these Japanese devils. He saw an abandoned village nearby, so he took out a truck from his backpack, threw Sawada and eight other Japanese soldiers onto the truck, and then drove the truck to the abandoned village.
He found a landlord's courtyard in an abandoned village. Although it was deserted, the main buildings in the courtyard were still intact.
When Sawada and the others woke up, they found themselves in a main room. Several torches were stuck in the walls of the room, illuminating it brightly. The door to the main room was tightly closed, and a masked man with two submachine guns was sitting in a chair guarding the door and watching them.
Sawada and the other eight Japanese soldiers realized something was wrong and immediately reached for their guns at their waists, but they all found nothing; all their guns had been taken away.
"Hey little devils, wake up! The night is long, let's play a game. Stand up and line up in order of height. I'll count to ten. If anyone isn't in line by then, I'll have to shoot them round like a beehive!"
