Chapter 5 The war begins, and the military division becomes an army (fifty-seven)
The power of poison gas bombs is self-evident. When the three shells exploded behind the warriors from both sides who were engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle, no one knew at first that these were actually the most evil shells in the world today. Where, It is a regiment of the 114th Brigade of the 38th Division. They are the second-line troops. At this time, they are rushing behind the first-line troops. When the soldiers near the impact point of the shells just heard the sound of the shells breaking through the air, they were reminded by the officer. , they all lay down to evade. After a while, they stood up, still shouting and rushing forward. In front, the little devils were completely defeated under the pressure of Xue Huahua's big blade. As long as they kept up with them, they Keep up the good work, and victory will belong to the glorious and heroic 38th Division.
The sinful yellow smoke began to disperse, and many soldiers smelled a slightly sweet smell of garlic.
The most poisonous thing about mustard gas is that it is incurable, so the injured will be accompanied by lifelong pain. Before the war, considering morale and combat factors, Zhang Zizhong only let officers above the battalion level know the news. Let them consider whether to wear gas masks based on the situation on the scene, and because wearing gas masks will affect their vision and seriously affect their combat effectiveness, when the general offensive began, no troops put on gas masks in advance, which directly led to a After this battle, the 14th Brigade suffered a massive attrition due to poisoning.
Li Jianke was the battalion commander of the second battalion of the regiment. When he smelled the faint smell of garlic, his heart skipped a beat, and then he instinctively shouted: "We are all here, hurry up, put on the gas masks." Li Jianke's reaction was unsatisfactory. It was unpleasant, but it was still a step too late. Although most of the soldiers put on gas masks in time, the three poison gas bombs still caused considerable damage. Among them, several soldiers close to the source of the poison gas had already attacked, and they were exposed Blisters began to appear on the skin in the air, and breathing became difficult. Many people even began to kneel on the ground, coughing violently, and subconsciously grabbed their throats with both hands.
"Boom, boom", there were three more violent explosions, and three more gas bombs were fired. Li Jianke looked at the miserable state of his men, pressed the gas mask on his mouth and nose with one hand, and waved the sword vigorously with the other hand. Shouting: "Wear a mask, hurry up, rush over."
As gas bombs were fired frequently, more soldiers inhaled the gas. Then, they collapsed on the ground. Because the respiratory mucosa was burned, many of them could not bear the pain and psychological fear, and began to scream hoarsely. Screaming in pain, he saw that many people began to hesitate in their footsteps, and some people began to try to take care of them because among the injured were their friends and fellow villagers. Li Jianke was so anxious that he almost jumped and cursed, but there was a feeling in his eyes. It was astringent, sour, and the exposed skin became red, swollen, and itchy. He simply took off his mask and shouted: "It's all there. Just rush forward and it will be fine."
But not many people listened to him. Maybe they didn't want to disobey their superiors' orders, but they were powerless after inhaling mustard gas.
"The little devil has started firing poison gas bombs." The temporary headquarters of the 38th Division is located here. The senior officials of the 38th Division and the Cadet Army all looked worried, and many of them looked indignant, wishing they could rush up and kill them in person. Those devils cut their bodies into thousands of pieces,
"The little devil is really not a human being. It would be great if we also had gas bombs." Some people said so hatefully,
Zhang Zizhong gritted his teeth and looked stoic. He picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling Ouyang Yun: "Forbidden City, Forbidden City, this is the Great Wall. Please call me back."
Ouyang Yun quickly responded: "Great Wall, this is the Forbidden City, received, completed."
"Forbidden City, the Japanese have started firing poison gas bombs. Please use cannon fodder to destroy it. Over."
"Received, completed."
In the artillery position headquarters of the 38th Division, Ouyang Yun put down the walkie-talkie with a serious look on his face. The officers around him heard the conversation between him and Zhang Zizhong just now, and they all couldn't help but look at him with indignation.
Ouyang Yun looked at the artillery commander and asked, "How many more shells are there?"
"About eight hundred rounds."
"Light it up, cover it and shoot." Ouyang Yun said coldly. After thinking for a while, he said, "I wonder how Solo Hero and the others are doing. Haven't they found the gas bomb storage point yet?"
Ten minutes later, the rumbling sound of artillery sounded again. Ouyang Yun walked out, opened his mouth and looked at the flashing muzzle of the gun in front of him, and a thought came to his mind: It would be great if there were planes, at least they could conduct reconnaissance as artillery. Positioning, if it was a helicopter, those gas bombs might have been destroyed by now.
As the special forces of later generations, helicopters were once one of their most relied-upon weapons. Thinking of the scene in which they used rockets to destroy the East Turkestan camp, Ouyang Yun felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help but think: Old man Chen is really unjust. If I were allowed to sit on the If we take a helicopter to travel through time, then the current Xuebing Army is already one of the strongest in the world. In that case, the little devils in front of us are really not enough to drink a pot.
Just when Ouyang Yun was talking about the single hero, Da Dao's warriors, supported by artillery, had already rushed into the village. After entering the village, watching the artillery fire advance forward consciously, the single hero was already sure that the artillery on their side was He knew his position, so he, who was always bold, simply asked the orderly to carry him on his back, took the banker with him, and directed his men to sort out the houses one by one starting from the head of the village.
The emergence of gas bombs brought the last hope to the little devils. Under the supervision of the officers, or perhaps deceived (they told their men that reinforcements were already on the way, and the gas bombs were brought by the reinforcement commander) (with permission from the headquarters to launch), the originally loose defense line became tight again, and the hand-to-hand combat became unprecedentedly fierce. Originally, the soldiers of the 38th Division could replace a Japanese soldier by themselves, but now, it takes one and a half Only one Japs can be replaced, and when the Japs only rely on their bayonets, while the soldiers of the 38th Division use swords and guns, often a soldier will kill a Japs with a machete, and then he will be stabbed in his body. Put on a bayonet, and then, when the Japanese guy pulls out the bayonet, his comrade's sword will hit the Japanese soldier's head. However, the little Japanese soldier's head hasn't been cut off yet. I don't know where it came from. He came with a bayonet and stabbed his comrade down again...
Compared with the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division who were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the battle of Dadao seemed easier. Close combat has always been the strength of the special forces. Originally, because they were surrounded by enemies, the soldiers of Dadao hesitated and couldn't let go. At one time, everyone was still Carrying a little devil's disease as a scapegoat, now, the fierce offensive of various units of the 38th Division has greatly reduced the pressure behind them. Under this situation, whether it is hand-to-hand combat or shooting, it has become the performance time of the sword warriors, fighting against the wolf The same thing is that Da Dao, as the former Kenichi Regiment, the so-called Chairman's Special Guard, has many people who are martial arts practitioners and have a variety of ways to kill people. Facing a life-and-death battle, at this time, some people become "Xiao Li's flying knife", some people are "invincible". Of course, all of them also have another title: sharpshooter, one bullet can definitely destroy an enemy.
Seeing the single hero, a small group of Chinese troops, committing crimes wantonly, and the small group of troops on their side being completely vulnerable in front of them, the old Japanese from the fourth floor of Tamamidi who had been paying attention to the entire battlefield situation could no longer hold his breath. At this time, , he has joined Gao Shujiayi. In order to avoid the artillery fire, under his leadership, with the officers and soldiers of the 108th Division command center as the main body, a group of more than a thousand people are retreating towards the northwest Japanese concession while fighting. Behind them, several horses pulled three field guns, firing poison gas bombs from time to time.
The battle has lasted for more than two hours since a single hero broke into the first line of defense of the Japs. Originally, with the help of poisonous gas bombs, the fourth floor of Tammidi boasted that even if they could not successfully break through, they would at least inflict heavy losses on the 38th Division. However, it turned out that he had overestimated his own strength. Not to mention that he had lost troops and generals in the previous encirclement and annihilation of Da Dao and failed to achieve his goal. Even now, even with the help of poisonous gas bombs, the 38th Division still achieved a comprehensive victory. He took the initiative and was carrying out purposeful compression. The old Japanese was originally determined to fight to the death, but now, he knows that the situation is over and he no longer dares to say such big words.
Seeing that a large group of Japs began to exit Lizhuang in an orderly manner, the sword warrior saw it and hurriedly reported to Shan Renxiong: "Brigade, the little Japs are going to run away." Shan Renxiong asked the orderly to put him down, holding on to the wall and facing On the fourth floor of Tammidi, he looked in the direction where the others were retreating. After a while, he said: "I asked why cannons can't destroy poison gas bombs. These devils just want to change places with one cannon." He looked back and saw the gas bombs exploding. In the direction of driving, although the soldiers of the 38th Division wore gas masks, many soldiers still fell in pain. He did not know that this was because the mustard gas had a corrosive effect on the skin, and thought that the gas masks were too ineffective, and his eyes were He couldn't help but burst out with anger. He gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Brothers, leave the little fish and shrimp alone. Let's follow up and destroy those three field guns as soon as possible. We can't let him harm anyone anymore."
"yes."
"The first squadron is responsible for intercepting the rear. The second squadron rushes with me. The third squadron pays attention to both sides."
As soon as the solo hero finished speaking, in his field of vision, a burst of fire suddenly appeared between the three field cannons. In the fire, several little devils were blown up and flew around, and then turned into residual limbs and fell in a rain of blood. On the ground, "Oh." He didn't expect this cannon to be so accurate. He just sighed. Then, another cannonball landed near the field cannon. This one was more accurate than the one just now. The fire caused by the explosion spread to The gas bomb on the carriage was fired, and then, one after another explosions were heard, and then, a piece of light yellow smoke dispersed. The Japanese who were already lying on the ground, as if they were frightened, got up and ran away desperately. The little Japanese officer reacted quickly. He quickly put on the gas mask he had prepared long ago, and swung his command knife to chop off the heads of the Japanese soldiers, as if he wanted to stop them from escaping. However, the reputation of mustard gas was too great. , those Japs were so frightened that they paid no attention to the strict military discipline. The officers were better, but the soldiers completely lost the momentum of the imperial army. They just started firing, shouting something while firing. Soon, more than a thousand people came. The troops were thrown into chaos and fell into disarray,
