At 4 a.m., the star of Qi slowly appeared in the east, indicating that dawn was coming...

This is the most tired time for people at night, and the same is true for the Japanese army in Yangon City. Although there are also patrol troops to keep alert, most of the soldiers on guard have been abandoned.

Apart from the fierce battle two months ago, the enemy did not move much during this period, and they would hardly launch a raid at night. The long-term confrontation made them more vigilant than before.

Little did they know that on a small earth slope one kilometer outside Yangon City, more than a dozen 92 infantry cannons have been set up, and the soldiers and artillerymen of the special agent battalion are making final calculations and adjustments.

If the Japanese shot a flare into the sky now, the scene they saw would definitely shock their chins.

A chubby figure moved left and right in the artillery team, directing the soldiers to conduct the final inspection.

If you look closely, you will find that they all have gas masks on their faces. They are afraid of making too much noise and being discovered by the enemy. Everyone is very careful in their movements.

It was not transported by any vehicles or mules or horses. It was all manpower to push more than a dozen cannons into this position. The shells were carried by the soldiers on their shoulders one by one.

In order to allow the artillery to cover most of the Japanese defense lines, the launch team was very close, and the fire exchange area was over a few hundred meters. If this were placed during the day, the Japanese opposite would probably have discovered and opened fire.

This behavior of bayonetizing artillery soldiers is very dangerous. If it weren't for the night cover, they would have been discovered by the Japanese.

At this moment, the artillery battalion commander took a walkie-talkie and reported to Krupp, who was still fiddling with the directional aircraft: "The commander is the brigade commander."

Krupp immediately put down his work without saying a word, took the walkie-talkie and put it in his ear: "What's the matter?"

"Sizi... what the hell is going to be dawn in another hour or two. Have you done it with a fat man??"

Li Liansheng was scolded in anger from the walkie-talkie, and his loud voice almost shocked his ears.

Krupp quickly kept the walkie-talkie away from his ears, and said with a slight silly look on his face: "It's almost done, has the order from Jun Zu come down?"

"The order has come down. I will launch a shelling attack on the Japanese army before five o'clock, but pay attention to the wind direction. Now it is the northeast wind. Remember, you must wait until the wind direction turns south before firing the artillery. Don't keep it at that time, give me all your energy!

And...before the enemy counterattack, you must light the shells and then immediately bring people to retreat to me!"

Krupp nodded and was about to answer, but suddenly he thought of something: "Then...what should I do with these 92 infantry cannons?"

"...Don't worry about those cannons! After a while, the shells are shot, run as fast as possible, otherwise you will have to explain the more than 200 pounds!"

Li Liansheng ordered unhappyly:

"There is another point... If the wind direction remains unchanged, the action will be cancelled. There is only one chance. You can't take the risk. If the poisonous gas bomb does not perform well this time, it will be meaningless to wait for the Japanese to prepare later."

Krupp, who seemed to understand, put down his walkie-talkie and looked at the artillery battalion commander next to him.

"Sir, sir? We need to be ready as soon as possible."

The battalion commander swallowed and subconsciously pointed to the poisonous gas bombs on the ground: "Now we are too close to the Japanese. Once the fire is exposed, it will be very dangerous. All the shells must be fired in a short time. In addition, this wind direction is also..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Krupp Saya, who knew it later, ran to the cannon position in front and personally calibrated the soldiers to shoot the various elements.

Krupp on the artillery position was completely different from the fat man who only knew how to eat and drink. The entire army had few control over artillery and could catch up with him.

As a curved weapon, it is relatively easy to hide in the backscene and shoot. It is just for the sake of range and coverage. The artillery position chosen by Krupp is relatively flat and there are no more mountains to cover it.

Although this artillery fires at a fast rate, it still takes a lot of time to finish the four tons of poisonous gas bombs. Once this artillery position is discovered by the enemy and counterattacks, they will be really in danger.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sky was getting dark. It was about to be five in the morning, but the northeast wind was still blowing.

Krupp lay beside the sandbag, his cheeks under the gas mask were covered with sweat.

He held the firing rope of a cannon tightly in his hand, staring at the watch without blinking, obviously still waiting for the opportunity.

The battalion commander next to him was already sweating profusely, and the sweat had already wet his back. The huge pressure seemed to make people breathless.

When using biochemical weapons on a battlefield like this, you have to consider the direction of the wind, and you must also pay attention to your positional relationship.

Yangon is in the south, and their artillery positions are on the northeast side of Yangon, while the entire expeditionary force positions are in the east and west. If they have to fire poisonous gas bombs in the reverse wind, it may cause harm to their side.

Perhaps the main force is far apart and has no effect, but their operators are mostly left alone, and even the effect on the enemy will be greatly reduced.

"Ten minutes to five o'clock..." Krupp put down his wrist and murmured to himself.

"Sir, are we...we are we going to withdraw?" the artillery battalion commander asked hesitantly.

The skyline was slightly white and it was almost dawn, but the wind direction still did not change, which also indicates that they had to stop their actions.

Although he was unwilling to accept his heart, no one knew what the consequences would be. After all, it would affect the action of the entire battlefield when it was activated.

Krupp did not answer, but looked blankly at his head and listened carefully to the sound of the wind shaking from his ears.

About two minutes later, he decisively stretched out his thumb and licked it in his mouth, and raised it above his head to feel the change in the wind direction in the air.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed another handful of weeds and threw them into the air. As the weeds slowly fell down, surprise slowly appeared in Krupp's eyes.

Five minutes later, he did the same thing again, and the weeds scattered in the air drifted in the wind. This time, it slowly fell in the opposite direction.

"The direction of the wind... has changed?" The battalion commander stared at the grass clippings on the ground with disbelief.

A gust of breeze strode, and everyone could feel a hint of coolness behind them, which was extremely cool in this hot morning.

What is obviously blowing south now is the wind. Although the wind is not fast, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

Krupp did not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered loudly: "Order, everyone should prepare to use the No. 1 gun position as a signal and fire at the same time."
