    "Blow them up!!!" Sun Desheng roared, then pulled the explosive package away and threw it towards the tents.

    They don¡¯t even need to throw it into the tent, the bomb is enough to blow through the tent and ignite the gunpowder inside.

    The other cavalrymen also began to throw the explosive bags in their hands into the warehouses.

    As the fuse burned to the end, bursts of explosions suddenly sounded in the Japanese ammunition warehouse.  The Japanese soldiers stationed here raised their rifles and fired wildly at the cavalry troops, but they still could not stop them.

    After entering here, dozens of cavalrymen from the cavalry company simply spread out and threw explosive packets everywhere.

    In other directions, the progress of the other two cavalry units was not so smooth.  The cavalry unit that attacked the headquarters was originally a feint attack unit. After attracting some Japanese troops, they directly chose to retreat.

    And another cavalry unit that attacked the material storage warehouse had already lost half of its hundreds of cavalry companies when they charged there. At this time, there were only less than fifty people left.

    The damage they caused was relatively limited, and they only blew up part of the material warehouse.  However, this can be regarded as achieving the goal. Even if it can destroy a Japanese warehouse, it can be regarded as a blow to the Japanese army.

    The attack on the ammunition depot can be regarded as the smoothest.  These warehouses filled with gunpowder and explosives were originally flammable and explosive dangerous areas. At this time, they were violently attacked by so many explosive packets. It didn't take long for them to trigger a series of explosions.

    Many Japanese soldiers no longer had time to control the cavalry company at this time and were busy extinguishing the flames in the ammunition depot.

    Because once these flames spread, not only this area will be destroyed, but the nearby camps will also be affected.

    At this time, on the mountains, they saw violent explosions in the direction of the Japanese ammunition depot. Bai Mingxuan and Li Jiajing suddenly cheered.

    "They did it, they really did it. With such a violent explosion, the Japs' ammunition depot must have been blown up." Li Jiajing shouted.

    And Li Yunlong, who was responsible for commanding this battle, was even more excited.  If the cavalry company cannot succeed, the members of the death squads will basically die in vain.

    But now the cavalry company successfully completed its mission and blew up the most important ammunition warehouse of the Japanese army.

    "Order the death squads to retreat immediately. The heavy machine gun positions around them will provide them with fire cover. Don't be stingy with bullets. Take as many as you can withdraw." Li Yunlong shouted.

    "Yes, commander." The soldiers responded loudly, and then the bullets from the heavy machine guns were poured out at the Japanese army as if they were free of charge.

    The cavalry company and the death squads began to break out frantically at this time.

    Inside the headquarters of the 114th Division, which was originally very noisy, it seemed very quiet amid the bursts of explosions.

    Suematsu Shigeshi's face was as dark as water. No need to report, he could already judge from the violent explosion that the ammunition depot had been attacked.

    This is undoubtedly a huge blow to their troops. If they want to continue the attack, they must ensure that they take down the mountain ridge in front of them before the remaining ammunition is used up.  Then wait for subsequent supplies and ammunition to arrive.

    "Send electricity to the Commander-in-Chief and ask them to use their air force to air-drop ammunition to our army. All transport aircraft, even bombers, must be used to replenish as much as they can." Shigeshi Suematsu said.  This is already the best supplement to their troops' ammunition. Although the transport aircraft of this era have limited carrying capacity, at least they will not be in the embarrassing situation of having no bullets to shoot.

    "Yes, Your Excellency, Division Commander, I will send a telegram to the Commander-in-Chief right away." Saburo Isoda responded.

    The fighting here lasted until about five o'clock. The last group of death squads finally broke through the Japanese encirclement and successfully returned to Xiongfeng Ridge under the cover of heavy machine gun fire.

    The thousands of death squads who participated in the attack suffered heavy losses this time.  The casualty rate of one death squad even reached 90%.  Although the situation of several other branches is slightly better, it has also reached a terrible 40%.

    As for the cavalry company, the casualties were equally heavy.  The best situation was that of the cavalry company of the Second Guard Regiment, which pretended to attack the enemy's headquarters and attracted the enemy's troops. Only a dozen soldiers were killed or injured.  The cavalry company of the Independent Regiment had a casualty rate of 50%, and the cavalry company of the 189th Regiment had a casualty rate of 70%.

    The three cavalry companies originally had a strength of more than 300 people.At that time, only more than a hundred people were left able to continue fighting.

    In total, they had a total of 220 soldiers killed and more than 100 injured.  In fact, there are still many injured soldiers in the Japanese camp. There is no way to bring them back. I can only watch them explode their grenades and die together with the Japanese army.

    But such heavy casualties allowed them to successfully complete their mission.  The Japanese ammunition depot was severely damaged, and even the surrounding Japanese camps were affected by the flames caused by the explosion.

    ¡°If it hadn¡¯t just snowed at this time, and there was a lot of snow on the ground, blocking the spread of the fire, the scope of the impact would be even greater.

    The Japanese army¡¯s material warehouses also suffered some losses. Many of their medicines and some food were destroyed by the bombing.  But overall, it does not affect their continued fighting.

    As for the Japanese casualties, they were even more heavy.  Because of the initial chaos, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were directly killed in the first ten minutes.  Many of them were killed directly in the tent.

    In the ensuing battle, after the Japanese army resumed command, they also suffered a lot of casualties when fighting the death squads.  Many of the Japanese soldiers were killed by suicide squad members who blew themselves up.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
