Chapter 219 This is the real living fire molten city!
Captain Maeda had heard before that the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment had invented a very terrible weapon that could burn through flesh and skin, and could not be extinguished even by pouring water.
He thought it was an exaggeration at the time, but he didn't expect that the incendiary bombs he saw today were even worse.
96 incendiary bombs hit the small steel plant. After the explosion, sticky burning materials splashed everywhere. It can be said that almost every inch of land in the entire steel plant was burning at this time.
Captain Maeda was in a semi-underground fortress, and he felt that the temperature of the surrounding air had risen by at least ten degrees.
When the Japanese captain Maeda took a breath of air, he felt his lungs being burned by the scorching air so hard that it was unbearable, as if he was inhaling fire.
Maeda, who was semi-underground, was already in such a state, not to mention the Japanese soldiers on the ground who were using their bodies to bear the incendiary bombs.
Captain Maeda watched with his own eyes as the first Japanese soldier to be set on fire was burned to death in front of him after struggling hard for half a minute.
At this moment, even though he was the commander of a battalion of more than a thousand devils, and even though he had experienced many wars and seen countless dead bodies, Captain Maeda still felt a surge of fear deep in his heart.
He was very worried that he would be burned to death under such a fierce fire like the Japanese soldier who had just fallen in front of him, and his body would curl up and eventually turn into ashes.
So he immediately issued an order: "All locust soldiers give up defense and retreat to the tunnels."
At this time, there were no more than 400 Japanese soldiers in Maeda's battalion who could still move.
The Japanese captain Maeda felt a little sad. He originally had nearly 1200 Japanese under his command, and only more than 200 of them died when fighting with the Eighth Route Army. He didn't expect that in just a short while, he would lose more than 500 people.
Little did they know that Maeda leading his team to retreat into the tunnel was the beginning of their nightmare.
......
From the moment the first incendiary bomb exploded, the brigade commander had been staring at the direction of the steel plant through a telescope. Only after the first round of 300 shells had been fired did he turn around to look at Yu Ye.
"Yu Ye, is this the fuel-air explosive bomb containing white phosphorus that you used in the battle of Lijiaopo?"
"No, Commander, that thing doesn't work well here. White phosphorus burns slowly. Don't you want a quick victory?
Besides, our Liaoyuan Arsenal doesn’t have enough white phosphorus reserves recently, so I didn’t use it.
If we use white phosphorus, it won’t be able to withstand such consumption.”
Yu Ye explained with a smile.
"What kind of shell is this? Why is it so powerful?"
"Commander, this is a napalm bomb. Compared to white phosphorus bombs, mine can burn faster. Moreover, after the explosion, the burning material inside can stick to the surrounding enemies and objects, and it is impossible to tear it off.
If you want to get it down, there is only one way, and that is to wait until all the burnable things are burned out and then it will naturally disappear."
Yu Ye explained calmly, as if he was doing very simple popular science.
But the people around heard it and all shuddered. They couldn't imagine what would happen if their team was attacked by this kind of napalm bomb.
In the eyes of the 386th Brigade, the steel plant in the distance was like a volcanic crater, filled with raging flames. It could be called a real molten city of living fire.
After a long silence, the brigade commander said, "Yu Ye, these weapons of yours...ah, they are too effective in killing people.
It’s too harsh.”
Yu Ye: “?”
"Commander, isn't it because you are in a hurry that we use such violent weapons? I made these on the spot. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Li and Lao Zhao.
Normally, in our Liaoyuan Arsenal and in our independent regiment, I am very kind. "
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang nodded hurriedly, indicating that what Lao Yu said was correct.
Blind Cheng from the 772nd Regiment who was standing nearby almost laughed out loud. If one were to say who was the kindest among all the people present, Yu Ye would probably not be the one.
Looking at the flames rising into the sky, the brigade commander said, "Yu Ye, your napalm bomb is indeed good, but what if the Japanese hide in the underground fortifications?"
Yu Ye smiled contemptuously: "If the Japs hide in underground fortifications or tunnels, that would be exactly what I want.
Because this burning will consume a large amount of oxygen, I am afraid that all the oxygen in the three-dimensional space within a radius of several hundred meters will be consumed.
Brigade Commander, what do you think will become of the Japs?
Moreover, our napalm bomb does not just burn and produce high temperatures. You should have also seen the billowing black smoke.
That's also a deadly guy."
"Don't the Japanese have ventilation holes in their underground tunnels and mines?"
"Hey, Brigade Commander, do you know why I carried so many barrels of gasoline? I was just worried that he wouldn't run to the ventilation vents and tunnel entrances.
I have arranged for someone to carry gasoline to their vent and wait there."
There was a hint of madness in Yu Ye's eyes, which showed that he was planning to kill all the Japanese devils.
"Finally, Brigade Commander, if the Japs are still hiding in there and don't come out, then it will be easier to deal with. We can arrange for people to blow up this tunnel.
I buried them alive!"
Yu Ye said sternly.
The brigade commander also put down the telescope in his hand completely. He no longer needed to look at the Japanese position because he knew that the battle was over here.
The brigade commander tried to glance at Yu Ye in an inconspicuous way and sighed silently in his heart: "Young people nowadays, scholars nowadays, are too fierce!"
At this time, Captain Maeda, who had retreated into underground fortifications and underground tunnels with less than 400 people, felt extremely uncomfortable.
Like a fish that has been drained of water.
Every extra step they took felt like they were suffocating and painful.
The lungs of each of these four hundred Japanese soldiers were like a broken bellows, which made a wheezing sound with any movement, and the hot air they inhaled with every breath was like a knife tearing at their lungs.
Gradually, some Japanese soldiers could not bear it anymore and ran out of the tunnel howling, then disappeared in the endless flames, leaving behind only two more miserable roars.
People couldn't stand staying in the tunnel and started dying.
This is the ultimate pain.
The Japanese captain Maeda had no choice but to endure it.
He had experienced such situations many times since he entered China, but previously it was he who was trapped outside while it was the Eighth Route Army who suffered inside.
This time, he finally experienced what it meant to repay blood with blood and tooth for tooth.
