The commander of the third battalion, Chen Dugu, held a sword in his right hand and a twenty-shot shell gun in his left hand.
He was already good at using both guns, and his left hand shot almost always without missing a hit.
When fighting hand-to-hand with the Japanese, you should shoot the enemy first, and then kill him with a machete.
You can be strong as you want, I will use a sword and a gun.
For this reason, Li Yunlong often criticized Chen Dugu: There are rules for hand-to-hand combat, so what's the point of using a knife and a gun?
Chen Dugu had no choice but to say: What are the rules to tell the Japanese?
Later, Li Yunlong saw that the soldiers of the third battalion had also learned some underhanded and damaging moves from Chen Dugu, which often caused the Japanese to suffer losses, so he didn't bother to criticize him.
There were less than 100 Kwantung Army Japs left in hand-to-hand combat with the New Regiment. As time went by, more and more Kwantung Army Japs died under the swords of the New Regiment soldiers.
It wasn't until the last Japs fell that Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, some of them were soldiers of the new regiment.
Li Yunlong also had to admit that the Kwantung Army did have some skills in hand-to-hand combat.
Although the Japs are very strong, the soldiers of the new group are not cowards. When fighting hand-to-hand with the Japs, the soldiers without exception attack fiercely and decisively.
He has the energy to dare to fight against the Japanese, and his killing move is always there!
In the fields and on the highway, the bloody corpses of Japanese soldiers lay scattered everywhere, like an open-air slaughterhouse.
Li Yunlong shouted loudly: "The first battalion cleans the battlefield, the second battalion rescues the wounded, and the third battalion is responsible for counting casualties!"
The soldiers began to perform their duties and clean up the battlefield, and the soldiers with bayonets called the Japanese by name one by one.
Whether it was a wounded Japanese soldier or a dead corpse, he would go up with a bayonet to make up for it.
This is the experience gained from the Eighth Route Army's several years of fighting with the Japanese. The Japanese are both vicious and cunning.
Wounded Japanese soldiers often deliberately set off grenades while cleaning the battlefield and die with you.
So Li Yunlong told the soldiers that unless the Japanese surrendered themselves, the new regiment would not take any prisoners, and all the Japanese they encountered on the battlefield would be killed!
Some soldiers began to rescue the wounded.
The whole battle ended in less than 5 minutes, so the Japanese reinforcements did not arrive that quickly.
Li Yunlong jumped onto the truck with the ghost head machete and lifted up the green cloth, revealing the green ammunition box underneath.
Seeing the skull and crossbones logo on the ammunition box, Li Yunlong shrank: "Damn it, it's really a gas bomb!"
It is common for the Japanese army to use poison gas bombs on the Chinese battlefield. According to incomplete statistics, under the orders of the Japanese base camp, the Japanese army used poison gas bombs more than 2,000 times on the Chinese battlefield. In total, more than 200,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were poisoned, including about 20,000
die.
In response to the Japanese army's poison gas bomb tactics, the Eighth Route Army had specialized chemical defense cadres who organized soldiers to carry out gas prevention training.
Wrap the garlic mixture in a wet towel and cover your mouth. Every soldier participating in the battle has prepared garlic and towels in case of accidents.
The battle went relatively smoothly, and the Japanese did not detonate poison gas bombs, killing both of them.
Zhang Dabiao jumped on the truck and said to Li Yunlong.
"Captain, I just counted, there are almost 20 large vehicles carrying poison gas bombs."
"Based on the Japanese Type 94 truck's load capacity of 2,000 kilograms, it's almost 20 tons of artillery shells."
"If one shell weighs 10 kilograms, that's a total of 4,000 poison gas bombs!"
The cost of manufacturing poison gas bombs is much higher than that of ordinary artillery shells, so the Japanese army does not have many equipment.
Many times it is used to turn the tables in unfavorable situations and as a trump card.
Li Yunlong looked solemn and said: "Blow them all up, and don't leave even a gas bomb for the Japanese!"
"Captain, I'm afraid this thing is not easy to explode." Zhang Dabiao said, "We don't have many detonators with us."
Li Yunlong glanced back and said, "Tell the soldiers to move all the ammunition boxes to the field over there and use a wire detonator to detonate them. Remember to stretch the wire a little longer!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao straightened up, and then helped the soldiers unload the artillery shells from the truck.
Li Yunlong jumped off the truck, and the second battalion commander Zheng Yu walked up to him with a rifle and gave a military salute: "Captain, I found four trucks of gas masks behind me."
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up slightly: "Gas mask? This is a good thing. Take it all off and take it with you when you retreat!"
"Yes!" Zheng Yu straightened up and walked back with the rifle in hand.
Under Zhang Dabiao's order, soldiers from the first battalion unloaded the shell boxes from the truck, moved them to the fields and stacked them together.
First, throw a border-made wooden handle grenade into the fuel tank of each truck, and the banging sound will continue.
Although the truck cannot be driven back, the truck is full of treasures, but Japanese reinforcements may arrive at any time, and there is no time to slowly dismantle it.
On the road and in the fields, dozens of trucks burst into flames.
The soldiers not only took away all the Japs' guns and bullets, but also took away their cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers and cotton-padded shoes, leaving white corpses all over the ground.
As soon as the wire detonating device was installed, Zhang Dabiao said: "Commander, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived!"
Li Yunlong quickly raised his telescope, and through the telescope's field of view, there was no less than a squadron of Japanese soldiers running towards the end of the road.
"Withdraw!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly.
The soldiers rushed towards the planned retreat route.
The Japs in this squadron are nothing to the current Xinyi Regiment, but this is the territory of the Japs, and Li Yunlong is afraid that the more Japs he fights, the more Japs he will get.
One of the two soldiers was holding a detonator modified from a telephone, and the other was holding the telephone cord behind, and ran to a safe enough distance.
The soldier in charge of the blast took hold of the detonator handle without hesitation, turned it to the left and then pressed it.
The electricity is instantly transmitted to the detonator buried in the middle of the poison gas bomb, and the explosive energy generated by the detonator detonates the poison gas bomb.
Immediately afterwards, there was an earth-shaking explosion where the gas bombs were stacked.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao raised their binoculars and looked back, only to see a ball of orange flames bursting out from where the gas bombs were stacked.
This ball of flames is like a flower of death blooming upwards. It rolls and blooms layer by layer within a short period of time. Every time it rolls, the range expands by one point and the height increases by one point.
Then the orange flame turned into dark red, rolled out into a mushroom cloud more than 100 meters high, and finally turned into a ball of black smoke rising upwards.
The various yellow, green, and red poisonous gases produced by the explosion suddenly filled the air. After being contaminated by these poisonous gases, the corpse of the Japanese soldier Bai Huahua quickly festered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "The poisonous gas has dispersed, let's evacuate quickly!"
Soon, the soldiers of the new regiment, led by Li Yunlong, left the battlefield and headed towards the Taihang base area.
