"Tick tick." The charge horn sounded, and the flag-bearing soldiers of the Overlord Brigade jumped up and unfurled their battle flags. "Brothers, charge." The officers of the Overlord Brigade shouted loudly, squeezing toward the Japanese formation. past,
Nearly three thousand Overlord Brigade soldiers wearing yellow-green camouflage combat uniforms stood up from the wheat field. They fought bravely onto the road. Looking from a distance, the yellow-green wheat field was suddenly waded out of the boat's path like running water.
The officer of the 27th Division commanding the battle in the woods was a regiment leader named Ma Yiming. The charge bugle sounded, and Ma Yiming waved his gun and shouted: "Brothers, charge with me, we want to capture Kei Setani alive."
The slogan "Capture Kei Setani alive" is obviously very popular and contagious. First, the ambush officers and soldiers of the 27th Division in the woods shouted in unison, followed closely by the cadets of the Overlord Brigade. The momentum was so majestic that the Japanese army did not know what was around them. How many enemies have been ambushed?
The Chinese army attacked from three sides, and the Setani detachment was caught off guard. The front line suffered heavy losses immediately, and at least half of the more than a thousand members of the vanguard brigade were killed. Setani Kai shouted at the few subordinates who were lying on him, raised his head to observe the battlefield, and recognized What came out of the wheat field was the Xuebing Army. They couldn't help but gnash their teeth with hatred. Setani Keinaka was good at reading. Hearing that the Chinese soldiers actually wanted to capture him alive, he was so angry that he couldn't help but tremble all over, "Stupid China pigs, since you are looking for death, wait and see." I will make you regret coming to this world." He said bitterly, gritting his teeth and giving the order to retreat.
The Japanese army fled without a fight, which made the morale of the ambush troops even higher. Huang Qiaosong saw that the ambush troops on both sides of the road had rushed onto the road and started a desperate fight with the Japanese army. However, the main force of the Japanese army retreated without a fight. He was afraid that the main force of the division would be crowded when entering the battlefield. On the contrary, it affected the ambush instead of annihilating the enemy, so he ordered the pursuit to be suspended.
"Setani has run away." Liu Shurong couldn't help but feel very regretful as he watched the main force of the Japanese army quickly withdraw from the battlefield.
"Segu Kai has run away, brothers, kill." Liu Shurong's soliloquy was heard by the soldiers around him, and it was immediately given a special meaning. As soon as such a slogan was shouted, the ambush party's morale became even stronger, and the surrounding soldiers The Japanese who lived there were heartbroken, and their hands and feet became weak by three points unconsciously.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, why do you want to retreat?" Kei Setani's retreat order made many Japanese soldiers strongly dissatisfied. Several junior officers surrounded him and asked,
Setani Kei glared at them coldly and shouted: "What, are you questioning my order?"
"No, no, but Your Excellency, the Akino Brigade is coming forward..."
Setani Kei ignored them. After the troops had withdrawn about a thousand meters, he shouted in a deep voice: "Ikeda-kun, pass my order to launch poison gas bombs."
"Hai." Ikeda rushed to the left and ran towards the mountain cannon that Setani detachment received as a gift from Isotani Rensuke.
The generals were stunned, and someone asked: "Sir, do you want to use poison gas bombs?"
"Yes, is there anything wrong?"
"There are still Imperial Army soldiers there,."
"So what, they sacrificed their lives for His Majesty the Emperor's great cause, and their souls have found their home. Isn't this a good thing?"
The evacuating Japanese troops built a defense line a thousand meters away, which made Liu Shurong feel faintly uneasy. At this time, he had already stood with Huang Qiaosong, and he said: "What do you want to do, little devil?"
Huang Qiaosong looked at him and asked, "You said before that the Segu detachment has no artillery."
"yes."
Just after Liu Shurong finished speaking, there was a sudden sound, and his expression suddenly changed. For a moment, he was stunned again, looked at Huang Qiaosong and said, "The Japanese only have one cannon."
Huang Qiaosong was also puzzled. Judging from the sound of the cannon fire, the Japanese army did have only one cannon. So what was the significance of Setani Kei's previous retreat? Could it be that he was timid before fighting and now just wants to hold on?
A few minutes later, he learned the answer. The first shell hit the place where the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides was the most intense. Although the explosion was very small, the yellow smoke that followed immediately knocked down all the soldiers fighting there. ,
There was a special course on biological and chemical weapons in the Xuebing Army Military Academy. Liu Shurong immediately woke up. He saw the soldiers huddled on the ground. Some of them scratched their throats with both hands. Their expressions changed with horror and they exclaimed: "Poison gas bombs, It's a gas bomb, quickly, retreat, let everyone retreat, everyone else, quickly put on gas masks."
"The Japanese dare to use poison gas bombs." Huang Qiaosong's eyes widened.
"You stupid little devil." "I'm CTN." "Despicable Japanese pirates."... There was a lot of curses around the two of them, and when everyone saw the miserable sight of the soldiers in the yellow smoke, their first reaction was to feel a surge of emotions. A breath of cool air arises,
Not only the Chinese army, but also the Japs on the Setani detachment saw this scene on the battlefield. Except for a few who acted extremely crazy and shouted hello, most of them remained silent and frightened, fearing that they would be attacked one day. Such treatment,
"Boom." The gas bombs were still exploding. Although Liu Shurong and Huang Qiaosong issued the retreat order in time, the ambush force still suffered a heavy blow. Among them, more than 700 people from the Overlord Brigade fell on the spot, and five others were killed. More than a hundred people were injured to varying degrees,
"Oh, oh..." Many soldiers couldn't help but cough, their faces flushed red due to lack of oxygen. They scratched their throats with both hands, eager in their hearts to open a gap from there to let in fresh air. Through it, the same goes for the Japanese army. At this moment, they have become the same victims and no longer care about killing the enemy.
The most vicious aspect of mustard gas is that it does not cause immediate death except inhalation of high concentrations that block the respiratory tract and cause suffocation and immediate suffocation. However, because of skin erosion and injuries to the respiratory tract and corneas, this kind of life is more terrifying than death. Because with the current level of medical skills, there is no way to rescue mustard gas poisoning.
Seeing more and more soldiers being injured due to inhalation of mustard gas, Liu Shurong was so anxious that his eyes were splitting with anxiety. He shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat quickly, run back." He was so anxious that he ran directly to the battlefield.
"Hurry and catch him, Brigadier Liu. It won't help if you go. Brothers, we can only withdraw now." After all, Huang Qiaosong has more knowledge than Liu Shurong. After weighing the pros and cons, he suggested,
The order to retreat was passed to the battlefield. The soldiers looked at their comrades and brothers who were struggling in pain not far away and left the battlefield in tears.
"This, oh, this is mustard gas, oh, brothers, oh, it's death anyway, I, oh, let's flush." Although Gu Changyou put on a gas mask, the poisonous gas he had inhaled before had already It severely damaged his respiratory tract, making it difficult for him to even speak.
Gu Changyou was the commander of the third regiment of the Overlord Brigade, and at this time he became the backbone of this group of injured soldiers who were poisoned by mustard gas.
In addition to those who were immediately incapacitated or died directly due to inhaling excessive poison gas, more than 300 people ran out of the mustard gas area. Because they were seriously injured, they gave up their escape and decided to confront the Japanese army who was waiting for them. die,
"Let's fight." Those who could speak immediately agreed. Those who could no longer speak nodded their heads and looked at the enemy with hatred. They made up their minds: kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one. ,,Fighted,
There was no charge, and there was no inspiring cry of killing. More than 300 soldiers, including more than 50 officers and soldiers of the 27th Division ambush force, after they escaped from the mustard gas, they did not withdraw their large forces, but resolutely launched an attack on the Japanese army. charge,
"Let me go, let me go. How will I explain to Master Huang and the others when I go back?" Liu Shurong was carried away from the battlefield by two soldiers. He looked at the backs of more than 300 people who had no hesitation and struggled to shed tears. Huang Qiaosong understood his difficulties. He was only temporarily commanding the Overlord Brigade. If the Overlord Brigade suffered excessive losses, it would really be difficult for him to explain when he returned.
This battle was fought in vain,
Kei Setani is cruel enough,
Ge Zengfu and Zhou Tai watched as more than 300 brothers rushed towards the Japanese formation. The two of them straightened their clothes, stood at attention, and solemnly raised their hands in salute. The gunshots of the 38-type cover and the Type 92 heavy machine gun rang out occasionally. Mixed with several explosions, more than 300 men fell down like a mountain from time to time. The two of them looked at each other, and couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes.
"Send off comrades and embark on a journey..." Naturally, Ge Zengfu sang the song "Camel Bell", and in the distance, the figures of comrades were becoming blurred.
The Battle of Huangshulin ended with the heroic sacrifice of three hundred warriors. Although they killed only a limited number of Japanese troops in the end, their tall figures have been deeply reflected in the pages of China's anti-Japanese history. Isotani Rensuke and Se Setani Kei could never imagine the consequences that their misuse of poison gas bombs would bring to Japan. At this time, Setani Kei, who had studied Buddhism, also forgot that evil will be rewarded with evil, and good will be rewarded with good.
When the news reached Tongshan, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi took off their hats to express their condolences, and personally drafted a letter to thank the heroes in Wuhan. When the news reached Guangzhou, Ouyang Yun sat quietly in the office for three hours, and when he stood up The first thing he did after getting up was to issue an order to the R&D Institute, asking Hou Debang to organize manpower to develop biological and chemical weapons. Then he also ordered that in order to express the highest respect and condolences to the heroes who died in Huangshulin, the whole territory of Fujian and Yue Qiong Everyone paid their respects and mourned for three days.
Subsequently, in the next day's "Renqiu Times", "Guangzhou Daily" and "Xuebing Daily", an article written by him appeared in a prominent position. For the first time, he publicly stated that the Xuebing Army would use all means to deal with it at all costs. Japanese army,
When the Battle of Taierzhuang was about to end in mid-July, the First Xueying Division and the Mountain Division proved with actual actions that Ouyang Yun was capable of making such harsh words. In the last few battles, the Xuebing Army used weapons including mustard gas. Among the three types of poison gas bombs, the most powerful one can kill people instantly, which directly led to the failure of the Japanese army's offensive in Taierzhuang, thus delaying the decisive battle in Xuzhou for more than three months.
