Chapter 434 Successful Detonation

Kang Tingshan continued, "I'll leave Lao Wan at the sewer entrance to observe and see if anyone discovers any signs of our sabotage during the day. If everything goes smoothly, we'll continue our operation tomorrow night!"

Ji Hongyi nodded in satisfaction. Kang Tingshan was very meticulous, which ensured the safety of the operation. If the Japanese found any signs of sabotage, the operation would have to be called off. He hoped everything would go smoothly and that all the preparations they had made over such a long period of time would not be in vain.

The group packed up and left quickly. That same evening, Kang Tingshan led several team members back into the passageway.

Lao Wan, one of the team members who stayed behind, had been working for a day and a night and was exhausted.

“Everything is normal, no one has come to this corner, we can continue!” Lao Wan instructed.

“Very good, Lao Wan, you can leave now. Go back and rest. We'll take care of things here!” Kang Tingshan said.

That night, Tang Tingshan and his team continued to damage the wall. After a whole night, they cleared a gap of about one square meter, leaving only the last layer of blue bricks inside undamaged. They withdrew on time at five o'clock in the morning.

On the third night, Huo Yueze personally led a team of action members, carrying explosives and detonators, to the sewer outlet.

He looked at his men and ordered in a deep voice, "After so many days of preparation, we must complete the demolition mission tonight. All personnel shall act according to the action plan we have formulated. Zhihong, you will be in charge of the final demolition. Let's begin!"

At his command, Kang Tingshan led Deng Zhihong into the pipeline first, while the other team members were responsible for transporting the explosives and detonators that had been packaged in waterproof and shockproof packaging.

When they reached the previously damaged part of the wall, they began to lift out the innermost layer of blue bricks. With a gentle push, a slight clattering sound was heard, and a large hole was revealed in the wall.

Kang Tingshan nodded to Deng Zhihong, indicating that the rest of the work would be his responsibility.

Deng Zhihong entered the warehouse through the opening. It was pitch black all around, so he used a flashlight to survey his surroundings.

From the previous architectural drawings, he knew that the current location was in a corner of the warehouse, and there was a load-bearing pillar ten meters to the west. He followed the location on the drawings in his memory and found the pillar. It seemed that the location and direction were correct.

At this moment, the team members behind them also climbed in one after another. Each of them carried some explosives and, like ants carrying food, transported the explosives into the warehouse little by little.

Deng Zhihong carefully examined the supplies in the warehouse and was greatly disappointed. The warehouse was indeed full of supplies, but he did not find the ammunition he had expected. It only contained firearms, tents, clothing, and the like.

Fortunately, the Fukuoka warehouse is very large, with ten large warehouses in total. They are only entering the seventh warehouse now, and there is a convenient passage between each warehouse.

When Deng Zhihong arrived at warehouse number five via the convenient passage, he finally found what he needed.

The entire warehouse number five was filled to the brim with ammunition, large quantities of artillery shells, and boxes of hand grenades piled up like a small mountain.

Deng Zhihong was overjoyed. This place must be the focus of the blast! The large amount of TNT stored here, once detonated, would generate a powerful shockwave that would cause the munitions to explode, enough to destroy the entire Fukuoka warehouse.

Deng Zhihong directed everyone to pile the explosives in the designated location before allowing the team members to quickly evacuate. There were a total of three detonation points, and he placed a full 300 kilograms of TNT at the detonation point in Warehouse No. 5.

Next came the installation of the detonators and detonating devices. He first inserted the detonators one by one, and then fixed the detonating devices before slowly adjusting them.

Time passed slowly, and finally at three o'clock in the morning, he finished all his work. The timer started to tick, and there were only twenty-five minutes left. Deng Zhihong dared not delay any longer and immediately made a quick evacuation.

He quickly left the warehouse through the opening and entered the sewer, evacuating as fast as he could. He knew that if, as he predicted, the ammunition stored in the warehouse were to detonate, the power of the explosion would be extremely astonishing, even causing the sewer pipes to collapse or break. If he was too late, he feared he would be buried underground.

The timer in the warehouse ticked away, time ticking away second by second, and everyone was already waiting anxiously at the exit.

The moment they saw Deng Zhihong's figure appear at the exit!

"Boom!!"

A violent explosion suddenly rang out, the roar echoing through the sky, and the dark night was instantly dyed crimson by the firelight.

Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shake, and Deng Zhihong, who had just stood up, lost his balance and sat back down on the ground.

A scorching wave surged into the sky above the Fukuoka warehouse, accompanied by a deafening roar, and billowing smoke rose into the air like a sandstorm.

"Success!" Everyone shouted excitedly. The demolition work, which had been in preparation for more than a month, was finally completed successfully thanks to their efforts.

But this was not the end. Just as they were cheering, another violent explosion rang out, and crimson flames flickered in the air, deafeningly loud like giant fireworks.

Immediately following were the deafening explosions, and the flames from the explosions once again illuminated the night sky, turning it completely red as if the sky had been shattered.
