Chapter 234 Completely wiped out the Segawa Brigade
Chapter 234 Annihilate the Segawa Brigade
Baoshan Brigade artillery position in the western suburbs of Qinghe County.
Under the night sky, the 75th Mountain Cannon, 92nd Infantry Cannon, Combat Defense Artillery and Mortars had taken off their camouflage, revealing their ferocious fangs. The black muzzles were all aimed at thousands of meters without exception.
If the Japanese army fired a flare in this direction at this time, it would definitely surprise them.
The Japanese army never expected that Niu Dagen's artillery battalion would dare to build artillery positions under their noses.
Niu Dagen's artillery battalion is now much richer than before. In terms of equipment, it is actually an artillery regiment: it has a total of 1 combat defense artillery battery with 4 37mm combat defense guns; a field artillery battery with 4 75mm field guns; 3
Of course, these guns are all captured Japanese weapons and equipment.
What makes Niu Dagen slightly unhappy is that there are not many shells for various artillery guns.
The most abundant artillery shells are the 12 92 infantry guns, which have six bases. The least are 4 combat anti-cannons, which do not even have half a base. What is even worse is that these artillery shells have been used up and there is no ground.
I would like to add that the little devil is not a fool and will not just bring precious shells to the Baoshan Brigade.
Therefore, Niu Dagen now dreams about the Baoshan Brigade having its own arsenal.
The scale of this arsenal does not need to be too large, nor does it need to be able to produce cannons. It only needs to be able to reload artillery shells. In this case, even if his artillery battalion still does not have enough to eat, at least it will not have to go hungry all the time.
Just as Niu Dagen was thinking about it, two recruits struggled to carry a box of shells and placed it next to a Type 92 infantry gun. One of the recruits curiously picked up a shell from the box and looked at it over and over for a long time.
, wondered: "It's weird, what kind of cannonball is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Don't move, put the cannonball back for me."
Niu Dagen turned around and saw it, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
This thing is not an ordinary artillery shell, but a real mustard gas bomb. If someone accidentally triggers the fuse, it will kill someone. Mustard gas is highly poisonous. Just inhaling a small amount can be fatal! If you accidentally let the shell splash
If the venom released directly contacts the body, the whole body will fester and die in a short period of time!
This thing is a powerful weapon, and it is also the trump card used to deal with the kid tonight.
Unfortunately, Niu Dagen's artillery battalion now only has a total of more than 200 poison gas bombs, and they were captured with great difficulty from the Qinghe County Arsenal by the special operations brigade after they captured Qinghe County.
…………
Thousands of meters away, the Segawa Brigade is stationed.
Yoshida Minetaro walked into Segawa Shiro's field command tent with a solemn expression, put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "General, the artillery brigade has less than half of the remaining shells, the medicines carried by the health team have been used up, and the infantry brigade has also been with the army.
The Chinese army fought fiercely for nine consecutive days and nights, and the officers and soldiers had reached their limit both mentally and physically."
Segawa Shiro was silent, his reason told him that he should decisively withdraw his troops now!
However, as a proud soldier of the Japanese Empire, Shiro Segawa was reluctant to withdraw to Shijiazhuang in despair. The well-equipped and well-trained independent mixed 8th Brigade was defeated by a group of poorly trained and poorly equipped soldiers.
Such a result is unacceptable to Segawa Shiro no matter what.
"General, are you ordering a retreat?" Minetaro Yoshida suddenly lowered his head and said sincerely.
"Haga." Shiro Segawa was furious, and when he was about to reprimand Minetaro Yoshida, the shrill scream of a cannonball passing through the sky suddenly came from outside the tent.
Upon hearing this voice, Segawa Shiro and Yoshida Minetaro's expressions suddenly changed.
92 Infantry Artillery! And it’s a group of artillery pieces, definitely more than ten in number!
The 92 Infantry Cannon is a lightweight infantry support artillery, with a height of less than 1 meter and a weight of less than 400 kilograms. It can fire 70mm caliber grenades or chemical bombs. It does not pose any threat to permanent fortifications with reinforced concrete structures.
, but for hastily constructed field fortifications, the 92 Infantry Artillery is enough to pose a fatal threat!
Suddenly, a shrill scream fell directly towards Shiro Segawa's command tent.
"General, be careful!" Minetaro Yoshida was suddenly startled. He rushed forward and threw Shiro Segawa to the ground. A dazzling red light flashed, and then there was a loud "boom", and Shiro Segawa's field command tent
He was immediately lifted into the air, and was torn into pieces all over the sky by the huge air wave.
Before the smoke cleared, Segawa Shiro and Yoshida Minetaro quickly turned over and sat up.
When the two looked up again, they saw that the entire sky was already filled with streamers of artillery shells trailing long tail flames. The streams of light soon followed with ear-piercing screams and landed on the head of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade.
On the sky, dazzling explosions burst out, and the originally dark night sky was suddenly illuminated as bright as day.
"No, it's impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Yoshida Minetaro said in disbelief, "How could the China Army have such a large artillery group?"
Shiro Segawa also had a face full of disbelief.
Looking at the momentum of this shelling, the Baoshan Brigade's artillery had at least dozens of infantry cannons, cannons and even field artillery!
What is particularly unbelievable is that the quality of the artillery of the Baoshan Brigade is even better than that of the Segawa Brigade. Their first round of shelling accurately killed Segawa Shiro's headquarters, and the second round of shelling hit the target.
The artillery position of the Segawa Brigade and the twelve infantry guns of the 8th Independent Artillery Battalion were immediately blown into the sky.
Suddenly, there was another strange scream of artillery shells in the sky.
"Bagagaru." Yoshida Minetaro suddenly changed his expression and said, "Poison gas bomb!?"
"What! Gas bomb!?" Shiro Segawa's face suddenly lost all color, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "These despicable and shameless China pigs dare to use chemical weapons in flagrant violation of international conventions. It is a shame. It is simply a shame for the military. It is a big shame."
The Japanese Empire should sue them to the League of Nations, sue them!"
This little devil is so shameless. He turned a blind eye to the Japanese army using chemical weapons so many times on the Chinese battlefield. In turn, the Chinese army used chemical weapons against Japan once, and he clamored to complain to the League of Nations. But if he really wants to say it,
, this is actually normal, weak countries never have diplomacy, and "justice" is always in the hands of strong countries.
"Order!" Shiro Segawa shouted to the sky, "The transport team quickly issued gas masks!"
"Serviceman!" Yoshida Minetaro also shouted angrily, "Gas mask, put it on quickly!"
Gas masks are the standard equipment of the Japanese army. However, because they are easily damaged, they are usually carried by the baggage teams and are only issued to the infantry teams when needed. This is not because of the carelessness of the little devils, but because of the gas bombs.
It is almost a unique weapon of the Japanese army. The National Government's scientific research capabilities are extremely weak and cannot develop lethal gas bombs at all. Moreover, the National Army has almost no artillery, so there is no need to carry gas masks with them at ordinary times.
Soon, Yoshida Minetaro's orderlies received gas masks from the baggage brigade.
Minetaro Yoshida and Shiro Segawa put on gas masks and took a deep breath of oxygen. The disgust in their chests suddenly eased. When they looked at it again, Colonel Yoshida's orderly had already foamed at the mouth and fell down.
He stretched out his hands and grabbed his throat tightly, with a look of pain on his face, and then quickly became silent.
Half an hour later, the shelling by the artillery battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade finally ended, and an infantry group of about 2,000 people wearing gas masks appeared at the outer positions of the Japanese army station.
A Japanese infantryman struggled to get up and when he was trying to shoot, two sharp bayonets mercilessly penetrated his back, followed by several more stabbing blows. The entire back of the Japanese infantryman was suddenly wounded.
It turned into a sieve of blood, and the Japanese infantry only twitched twice and then fell silent.
A Japanese second lieutenant could barely sit up. The oncoming Chinese soldier raised his hand and fired a shot, hitting the Japanese second lieutenant between the eyebrows. The Japanese second lieutenant didn't say a word and fell to the ground, with black blood mixed with white foam.
It overflowed from the corner of his mouth and instantly dyed the ground beneath him red. Soon, the Japanese army commander's eyes became empty.
A Chinese second lieutenant stepped on the Japanese second lieutenant's body and stabbed a bayonet in the Japanese second lieutenant's vest!
Behind the second lieutenant of the National Army, dozens of National Army soldiers wearing gas masks and carrying bright bayonets were searching and following up. When they met the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, they stepped forward with a bayonet regardless of life or death!
Looking around, the entire Japanese garrison was filled with smoke and raging fire. The visibility was less than ten meters. Thousands of Japanese soldiers were foaming at the mouth and lying on the ground. Most of them had fallen into a severe coma. Occasionally, some Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground.
The few who were sober were quickly picked up by the national army search team.
…………
Qinghe County, Baoshan Tourism Headquarters.
Liu Yi hurriedly entered the war room and said to Yue Weihan: "Brigade, the Segawa Brigade is finished!"
Yue Weihan's face was as dark as water, and he was not at all excited about annihilating the Segawa Brigade.
Originally, the Baoshan Brigade had more than 6,000 elite veterans plus more than 30,000 rabble-rousers, as well as poisonous gas bombs, a big killer. If the Segawa Brigade could not be wiped out quickly, then the Baoshan Brigade would not be the Baoshan Brigade. You know
, the Baoshan Brigade is a hard-core unit that can defeat the Japanese ace 5th Division in a head-on duel!
"Brigade, gas bombs are really powerful!" Liu Yi said with lingering fear, "No wonder we suffered such big losses in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Xuzhou. This thing is indeed very evil! The little devil has five
There are six thousand people, but if more than two hundred gas bombs are thrown in, they basically lose their combat effectiveness. Winning this battle... is effortless!"
After saying this, Liu Yi said with regret: "It's a pity that the artillery camp has run out of poison gas bombs, and we can't produce this stuff ourselves. If our artillery can have enough poison gas bombs, how can we deal with the little devils?"
Isn’t it much simpler? By then, let alone Shijiazhuang, it will be possible to capture Baoding and even Peiping.”
"Poison gas bombs are not as powerful as you say." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said coldly, "If the little devils are prepared and distribute gas masks to the infantry team in advance, it will be useless no matter how many gas bombs we have.
, by the same token, as long as we are alert in advance, the poisonous gas bombs of the Japs will not cause much harm to us."
