Wang Guangyu's intention of handing these phosgene shells to Qiu Jintang is self-evident, so that he can use them as a weapon when necessary. The anti-union forces on the Aruhorqin Banner battlefield are insufficient, and they are facing a complete Japanese division.
.Although equipped with a large number of heavy artillery and aircraft, it is still unknown whether these equipment can stabilize the war situation.
In order to ensure the stability of the Alhorqin Banner battlefield, Wang Guangyu handed over all phosgene artillery shells to Qiu Jintang. Although these phosgene artillery shells, as well as phosgene, mustard gas, and Lewis gas mixed artillery shells, were only among the Japanese chemical weapons arsenal.
It's not a very powerful weapon.
But it is not that they are ignorant of the matter. The 7th Division without gas masks can resist it. Especially in such a small area, thousands of poisonous gas shells are fired at one go, and the concentration of poisonous gas formed is in
In the shortest time, it is enough to kill all defenseless living creatures. Even if it is not fatal immediately, it is enough to make the Japanese army lose their combat effectiveness.
In less than half an hour, most of the Japanese troops who stayed behind quickly lost their combat effectiveness in the high concentration of phosgene produced by the explosion of a thousand poison gas shells. However, the Japanese troops who tried to rush out of the poison gas dispersion range were surrounded by surrounding
The machine gun bullets and various infantry guns, mortars, and even rifles fired by the anti-alliance forces were accurately shot at long distances and knocked down.
Looking at the Japanese troops struggling in the poison gas, Yang Jicai held down the company commander who wanted to attack in order to completely eliminate these Japanese troops. He believed that there was no need to pay some insignificant casualties at this time. As long as the Japanese troops did not escape from the poison gas shells
Let them stay there within the scope of the poisonous gas generated.
The weather today is very good, with almost no wind. The concentration of poisonous gas on the Japanese positions will not weaken for a while. Let them enjoy the so-called decisive weapons they have painstakingly developed to massacre the Chinese.
.For the Japanese army, this can also be regarded as a kind of retribution in a cycle of cause and effect.
It's too cheap to buy them a bayonet now, and you might be charged with killing prisoners. When the time comes, those in the political department of the military region will have to look after their mother-in-law. Rather than waste more words then,
, it would be easier to wait until they are all deeply poisoned before harvesting.
And according to the concentration of phosgene accumulated over there, it is not yet known whether the gas masks in his army are still effective, so Yang Jicai does not dare to act rashly. Yang Jicai is not sure about poison gas. He does not want to when the time comes,
He himself was also unlucky.
But no matter whether he takes action now or not, the Japanese troops here are no longer a threat to him. Just like a ripe fruit, it will be harvested when the time comes. In addition to leaving a platoon of troops to monitor these Japanese troops, Yang Jicai
Apart from that, there is no longer any attention.
Compared with the overall situation here that has been decided, Yang Jicai's thoughts are more focused on the battle situation over there with Su Yingqi and Gou Zaihe, who are fighting with the retreating Japanese army. In Yang Jicai's view, the Japanese army here is basically close to being resolved.
Under such circumstances, whether we can achieve a decisive victory depends on that.
In fact, Yang Jicai also knows that even the troops participating in the war there currently have a certain advantage in strength. But this extremely weak advantage faces an old Japanese division such as the Seventh Division, with roughly equal firepower.
.It is also difficult to guarantee that the Japanese army can be completely wiped out in the shortest time and at the smallest cost.
If the two troops had not been completely mixed with the Japanese army, it would be extremely difficult to separate now. Yang Jicai ordered Su Yingqi and Gou Zai and two people over there to surround the retreating Japanese remnants first, instead of doing what they are doing now at all costs
Fight to the death with the Japanese army.
The kind of battle that Su Yingqi and Gou Zai are currently fighting with two people, which is likely to cause damage to both sides, is the kind of battle that Yang Jicai dislikes the most. A battle like annihilating one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred self-inflicted wounds is to make full use of the battle.
Firepower or terrain, minimizing casualties as much as possible, is the most unacceptable battle for Yang Jicai.
Now, for Yang Jicai, in addition to the battle here, he is most worried about the fact that he has not been given a reply to his superior's report, which is also the most troublesome thing for him.
Soldiers need to be quick, and if this delay continues. According to the current situation of insufficient troops, and the troops in hand are already extremely tired. If reinforcements are delayed, then according to the current situation, even if the retreating Japanese army is wiped out,
, I am afraid that the number of casualties myself will be quite high.
Among the two units currently involved in the retreat of the Japanese army, Su Yingqi's unit fought fiercely on the Zagastanol line for most of the night last night, and then forced a long march to retreat to Bayannuoer. Although they did not encounter a large number of Japanese troops along the way,
, but there are still small-scale interceptions.
The Japanese army is not the kind of army that refuses to leave when they see enemy troops passing by. If enemy troops pass by in front of them, they will definitely stop them with all their strength. Starting from the Zagastanol line last night and retreating to Bayannuoer, they must definitely
It won't be a smooth retreat. Even if they have rushed over, the casualties and exhaustion must have accumulated to a certain extent.
At present, they have just retreated to Bayan Noor. Before they can sit down firmly and take a breath, they are ordered by themselves to rush to Balaqirud at the speed of a forced march. The casualties last night, the separation, and the retreat
The fatigue caused by continuous marching and fighting. Although we arrived at the designated area on time, I am afraid that there is not much combat effectiveness left.
And the Japanese troops who are now mixed with them, although some of them survived the crazy bombardment from the front of Bala Chirud to the stone table and then to Sumoyantara at all costs in the morning scene.
However, there are still quite a few Japanese troops who have not participated in the battle before and have been recuperating their strength.
Although most of them were lost due to artillery fire interception during the retreat, Yang Jicai could still clearly see through the telescope that there were still five to six hundred remaining Japanese troops. Coupled with the physical fitness of the Japanese troops, even if they ran for more than a dozen soldiers in one breath,
kilometers, but compared to Su Yingqi's unit, it can still be said that it is easy to wait for work.
The troops that Su Yingqi arrived, even including the stragglers who arrived later, were only three companies with incomplete structures. Although Su Yingqi reported three companies in terms of actual troop strength, according to Yang Jicai's observation, all of his troops were
The total strength of the troops is definitely less than six platoons.
One is a tired division that has been marching long distances after a long battle, and the other is a considerable part that is recuperating its strength. Although the composition of the troops is somewhat mixed, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's baggage troops and engineers at their peak is actually no better than that of the Japanese army.
The regular Japanese field infantry is far behind. In a desperate battle, who knows how high this combat potential can be?
The battle situation after Su Yingqi's unit encountered the Japanese army has proved his own judgment. If Gou Zaihe had not broken through the small Japanese interception force at all costs, I am afraid that facing the remaining five or six hundred Japanese troops, they would have been extremely tired, and
Su Yingqi's interception operation, which has very little ammunition left, may not last long.
However, although Gou Zaihe arrived in time to stabilize the battle situation, Yang Jicai was deeply worried. The two units were now entangled with the Japanese army. Although they delayed the retreat of the Japanese army, they also made him move towards Bala.
To the southeast of Qirude, the artillery group moved close to the battlefield, and its firepower advantage could not be exerted.
Moreover, in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, they faced the advantage of the Japanese army in hand-to-hand combat. Even if the Anti-Japanese Alliance had a small advantage in strength, it did not take much advantage. The Japanese army used the stabbing skills and appropriate tactical combinations developed by the Chinese.
, the effect in hand-to-hand combat is still quite strong.
Even if the Anti-Japanese Alliance has a slight advantage in strength, it is only half a catty to eight ounces at most. Even if the Japanese army that breaks out of the encirclement is completely wiped out, I am afraid that the remaining strength of these two regiments will be almost exhausted.
In a hand-to-hand combat in which both sides have received strict training in hand-to-hand combat, generally no one is the real winner, at most only a few fewer people are sacrificed.
Moreover, what worries Yang Jicai the most is that the two troops are now putting all their effective forces into the melee. Except for the company around him that cannot be moved for the time being, he has almost no reserves. Once a new enemy situation appears,
I'm afraid that I will be hit hard instead.
The exposed enemy troops are not terrible, but the enemies that have never appeared are the most worrying. Once a new enemy situation appears, especially excessive fatigue, judging from the battlefield performance, Su Yingqi's troops may have exhausted the embers of ammunition. Once they withstand
Under excessive pressure, it is likely to collapse first.
What caused Yang Jicai to be so worried was that he discovered a serious omission in his thinking after discovering that Su Yingqi's input of troops was seriously inconsistent. The Japanese 7th Division Headquarters and last night's battle have not yet been able to find out the reason.
It may not be impossible for the remnants of the 28th Regiment that were defeated later to appear on the battlefield at any time.
Balachirud faced the Japanese army, and when he arrived, he found that they were in an offensive state. There were also a large number of non-combat troops mixed in, which showed that the Japanese army was ready to make a desperate move. It was able to issue this order that the Japanese troops of several different formations could execute uniformly.
, only the 7th Division Headquarters.
As for the actual situation of the two regiments in the forward position, the 7th Division Regiment Headquarters would not have been unaware of the order when it issued such an order, otherwise it would not have added a large number of non-combat troops to strengthen the remnants of the two regiments.
Strength. Since even the miscellaneous soldiers were sent out, Noboru Kunizaki might not be able to send out the security forces around him at the critical moment.
There is also the remnant of the 28th Regiment that he may have gathered, and will definitely be sent out after the reorganization is completed. According to the current actual situation of Su Yingqi and Gou Zaihe, and the comparison with the strength of the Japanese army in front of them, there is no need for more, just one more squadron
, it would be difficult for Su Yingqi and Gou to reconcile.
Compared to the 7th Division Regiment Headquarters, which definitely still has some guard troops, how many troops do the 28th Regiment have left after the melee last night? Where have the remnants retreated to? Have they retreated in one breath?
On the other side of the Xilamulun River, this is what Yang Jicai is most worried about.
Because he knew that compared to the 7th Division Headquarters, which would not disperse all the security forces, the remnants of the 28th Regiment, whose whereabouts have not yet been identified, would be the greatest threat to him if they appeared on the battlefield at this moment. But
The most uncertain thing right now is that the remnants of the 28th Regiment will not appear on the battlefield.
The most critical thing is that he really cannot mobilize troops to conduct tactical reconnaissance and warning around the battlefield. He has not mobilized the company deployed behind Su Yingqi by Gou Zaihe because he believes that he should keep some preparations on hand in that direction.
The team was relatively correct. But except for this company, he could not mobilize any soldiers to detect whether there were other scattered Japanese troops in the surrounding areas.
