132: Chapter 132 Never Surrender
The captain of the 3rd squad looked at the Chinese Soldiers nearby.
Given the current situation, there was basically no hope of a safe retreat.
Therefore, the best outcome was to detonate the ammunition depot and perish together with the Little Devils.
The Chinese Soldiers understood what the captain meant and shook their heads one after another.
"We aren't afraid. Being able to take so many Little Devils with us to the grave before we die is worth it."
"That's right. As long as we can kill the Little Devils, dying is worth it."
The captain of the 3rd squad nodded heavily upon seeing the reaction of the Chinese Soldiers.
"Alright, then let's drag them down to hell with us."
The viewers in the livestream room felt teary-eyed seeing this scene.
"Wuwuwu, are they really going to perish together with the Little Devils?"
"This is the best choice right now; at least it's much better than being captured."
"Right, I saw in another game streamer's livestream room that once you're captured by the Little Devils, life is worse than death. The Little Devils won't care if you're a prisoner; they just drag everyone off and kill them."
"Surrendering won't have a good outcome. Even if they surrender, the Little Devils will still kill them."
"I watched another livestream, and there was a streamer about to clear the level. Seeing the Training Corps captain over there run away, and the last few hundred defenders detonate the ammunition depot to perish with the Little Devils, I was so angry I almost died."
"What? What's going on? Tell us about it."
...
Old Kui's livestream room. He had retreated from Zijin Mountain with some of the Chinese Soldiers.
However, although he had retreated, Zijin Mountain was lost.
He watched with his own eyes as a violent explosion erupted on the mountain.
This explosion echoed across the entire world.
He still remembered that there were quite a few defenders left up there.
As a soldier on the front line, he had been separated from his unit and had no choice but to retreat down the mountain.
The Little Devils launched a general offensive in the morning.
Old Kui had wanted to use the bunker fortifications to hold out against the Little Devils.
But he ran out of ammunition.
Plus, the Little Devils' flamethrowers kept clearing out the bunker tunnels.
He didn't dare stay in the tunnels at all.
After struggling all morning, he heard the order to retreat near noon.
But the commander-in-chief of the Training Corps had already received the news and fled long ago.
He hadn't notified them at all.
It wasn't until the war zone commander's order came down that they knew they had to retreat.
But by then it was too late; the Little Devils' general offensive had already been launched, surrounding Zijin Mountain.
Large-scale retreat was basically hopeless.
Old Kui escaped with a dozen or so Chinese Soldiers. The main force had long been scattered, so they could only retreat down the mountain together.
Originally, they wanted to go back and find the main force.
But after some analysis, they immediately gave up on that decision.
Because going back to find the main force at this time had a very low probability of retreat.
The commander-in-chief had already run away; now it was basically a case of a dragon without a head.
There were Little Devils everywhere on the mountain.
They could only preserve their strength first and retreat toward the Jinling urban area.
"Old Kui, walk faster." The few Chinese Soldiers in front called out to him.
Along the way, the dozen or so of them dodged the Little Devils while retreating toward the Jinling urban area.
On the way, he saw many Little Devils capturing Chinese Soldiers.
Even when they passed by a river, they saw the Little Devils escorting dozens of Chinese Soldiers to the riverbank.
Then, gunshots rang out.
These Chinese Soldiers were all shot and killed, and their bodies were thrown into the river.
Seeing this scene, Old Kui felt his blood boiling.
These Little Devils were too insane; they didn't even spare the prisoners.
The war between the Little Devils and China was a fight to the death.
The Little Devils were trying to destroy China and exterminate its people.
Seeing this, Old Kui finally truly understood why the Little Devils were called Little Devils.
All the viewers in Old Kui's livestream room felt indignant upon seeing this scene.
After seeing this, the dozen or so Chinese Soldiers with Old Kui were equally furious.
But they couldn't act; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get away.
They didn't know how many Little Devils were in the vicinity.
They didn't have much ammunition on them right now, and if they ran into a large force of Little Devils, they would have no way to resist.
They could only suppress the grief and anger in their hearts and continue rushing toward Jinling City.
There were still Chinese Soldiers defending the Jinling urban area.
...
Back to the Eastern Military Region's livestream room.
The gunfire around the perimeter of the ammunition depot gradually lessened; the Little Devils had broken in.
The Chinese Soldiers inside the ammunition depot saw the Little Devils arriving and immediately opened fire to block them.
After being attacked, the Little Devils also began to counterattack.
However, they clearly had reservations.
They were afraid that the exchange of fire would detonate the ammunition depot.
If the ammunition depot exploded because of their firefight, that would be a huge disaster.
Five or six hundred meters away from the ammunition depot, the other two squads of Chinese Soldiers reunited.
Fighting had also broken out on their side, because the sound of the heavy artillery explosion had awakened all the Little Devils in the entire Little Devils' artillery position.
There were thousands of Little Devils in the artillery position, and they could only fight while retreating.
As for the 3rd squad, they couldn't manage them at all.
If they didn't retreat, they would all be left behind here.
They could only pray in their hearts for the 3rd squad to survive on their own.
At this moment, inside the ammunition depot, the captain of the 3rd squad looked at the Chinese Soldiers beside him and grinned, saying:
"Hahaha, look, those Little Devils don't even dare to fight, they're afraid of detonating the ammunition depot."
"But the more they fear something, the more we have to do it."
After he finished speaking, he brought over the switch that connected all the explosives.
"Brothers, our deaths won't be in vain. Having these Little Devils accompany us to the grave is enough."
As he spoke, he pulled the switch.
The sky-high flames swept over everything in the vicinity, and everything within a hundred meters of the ammunition depot was destroyed in an instant.
Fujita Isamu was blown away by the shockwave of the explosion. It took a moment before he fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times before stopping.
Fujita Isamu recovered from his dizziness and looked at the sea of fire in the distance with eyes splitting from rage.
The surrounding tents were all blown away by the shockwave, revealing the center of the explosion.
A large crater remained at the center of the explosion.
None of the Little Devils close to the center of the explosion survived.
Fujita Isamu was lucky; he happened to be a bit further away, so he was only seriously injured. He wasn't killed outright.
Not far away, both sides, who had been fighting, all stopped.
Their eyes looked straight at the place where the ammunition depot was located.
The sky-high flames there were like a mushroom cloud, illuminating the entire Little Devils' artillery position in that instant.
Only then did the booming sound of the explosion slowly arrive.
Along with the explosion came the shaking of the ground.
Taking this opportunity, the captains of the other two squads immediately woke up their own Chinese Soldiers and then hurried to retreat.
However, even more terrifying than the explosion was the fact that the ammunition depot where the Little Devils stored toxic gas bombs was filled with thick smoke.
These smoke spread continuously to the surroundings with the shockwave.
It wasn't just one explosion; after the big explosion came countless small explosions.
At this moment, Regimental Commander Zhao Liang, who was outside the Little Devils' artillery position, also heard the commotion on the Little Devils' position.
Hearing this violent explosion, Regimental Commander Zhao Liang knew they had succeeded.
This explosion lasted for a long time, and even the defenders on Zijin Mountain heard the commotion.
