Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately rushed to the headquarters to discuss countermeasures. He knew that this problem was absolutely serious. Now that the Japanese army is using poison gas on the Ming army in Anton City, regardless of the political impact, it is definitely timely in terms of military. This is absolutely timely.
This means that Anton, who has been unable to capture for a long time, is very likely to be completely captured within a few hours to a day.
When he arrived at the headquarters, he found that the atmosphere on the Army side was already very tense. On the huge map of the Central Command Hall, a skull and two crossed bones had been marked on the Anton area, indicating that something had happened here.
Chemical warfare. Some of the small map racks and map tables below have also been replaced with detailed maps of Dadonggou-Anton.
From the central broadcasting station in the hall, the voice of the broadcasting lady echoed from time to time:
"Type 3 special bombs have been shipped and are now on standby at Zhujiajian Airport...Type 3 special bombs have been shipped and are now on standby at Zhujiajian Airport..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that "Type 3 special bomb" is actually a vague name for a certain kind of poison gas bomb. Zhujiajian is a large island next to Zhoushan Island. This island has a lot of flat area and is suitable for building an airport. It is the most important island for the East China Sea Fleet.
Air Force Base. These gas bombs are not used at all. They are sealed in warehouses and kept strictly. These warehouses are in extremely remote places, such as mountains far away from human habitation.
In addition to the Army and the Navy, all major fleet bases also have poison gas bomb warehouses. The Navy's poison gas bomb warehouses are usually on uninhabited islands. The East China Sea Fleet's poison gas bomb warehouses must not be on Zhujiajian. Zhujiajian
Jian is not only an important base, but also has towns and many fishing villages. The warehouse should be on a nearby desert island, and it has been temporarily transported to Zhujiajin Airport.
…
Xiang Xiaoqiang came back relatively late. The Japanese army used poison gas bombs at noon, and it was already night. He was eager to understand the situation, so he asked Xiuxiu to go to the Navy to inquire, and then he went to Army Aviation Commander Li Guoliang and asked how the situation was.
.
Li Guoliang briefly told him the situation. What is known now is that the Japanese army fired dozens of poison gas bombs into the Ming army-controlled area in Andong City. According to the telegram from the 66th Division headquarters in the city, they determined that these were obviously mustard seeds.
Poison gas. Although mustard gas is not the most toxic, it is the most commonly used in wars. It is a traditional military poison gas with obvious effects and low price. It was used in large quantities during World War I.
It is known as the "King of Poisonous Gases". Mustard gas is an erosive poisonous gas that mainly invades the body through the skin and respiratory tract, and has an erosive and irritating effect on the skin and mucous membranes. It can cause skin burns, redness, swelling, blisters, ulcers, inflammation and necrosis of the respiratory mucosa,
Severe coughing and thick phlegm may occur, even hindering breathing, and conjunctivitis may occur in the eyes, resulting in redness, swelling and even blindness. Moreover, there is no specific medicine for mustard gas.
Of course, the Ming army has gas masks, which are standard equipment for Ming army soldiers. Now gas masks also play a big role. No one from the Anton Ming army has died yet. However, because mustard gas is an erosive poison, it not only damages the respiratory system, but also
Will burn the skin. Prevent
The poison mask can only prevent poisonous gas from being inhaled into the respiratory system and protect the face and eyes, but other parts of the body can only be exposed to the poisonous gas. And it is summer now, and the officers and soldiers are all wearing thin summer clothes and no gloves, and many people's skin has been damaged.
Got burned.
This afternoon, the Dongjiang Fleet has air-dropped chemical protective suits to the Ming Army in the city twice. Judging from the current situation, the overall situation of the Andong Ming Army is not too bad. Most of the officers and soldiers have put on overall chemical protective suits, and they are still in trouble.
After insisting on fighting, the Japanese army stopped using poison gas two hours ago after several rounds of poison gas bombs. They probably felt that it did not have the expected effect, and the poison gas was not accurate, and it was easy to accidentally injure yourself depending on the change of wind direction.
.
Now the Ming army is ready to counterattack. Some of the Dongjiang Fleet's stockpile poison gas bombs have been loaded onto the aircraft and are now on standby in the hangar. The East China Sea Fleet's poison gas bombs have just been loaded onto the aircraft and are also in the hangar.
On standby. However, it has been several hours now, and the order has still not been issued. It is already dark and the plane cannot take off.
Xiang Xiaoqiang frowned and said:
"Can't we bomb at night?"
Li Guoliang sighed:
"This is a poison gas bomb. Even if it is approved for use, it must not cause accidental damage. It doesn't matter if the ordinary bomb still misses the target. At most, it will blow up a few craters in the farmland next to it. This poison gas bomb is not a joke. Once it still misses,
A single bomb can kill half a village of civilians... The battle is still taking place on our soil, and there must be no mistakes."
Xiang Xiaoqiang sneered and said angrily:
"I dare say that this is one of the reasons why the Japanese dare to use poison gas bombs."
"Your Excellency is right!" Li Guoliang also shook his head and said, "They are sure that the war is being fought within our territory. They don't have much scruples about using poison gas, but we have a lot of scruples about using it, or simply don't dare to use it. More
What’s annoying is that now the Japanese simply refuse to admit that they used poison gas bombs.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled:
"Don't admit it? Why don't you admit it?"
"This afternoon, our Ming Dynasty has filed a complaint at the League of Nations. The Japanese representative refused to admit it at all, saying that they had never used it, and asked us to provide evidence. Damn it, how are we going to get it? Now Anton only has thousands of people
, there were no investigators from the League of Nations, no observers from third countries, and not even a reporter accompanying the army. Even if there were reporters
It's useless even if you take a photo and you can't send it out. Now we can airdrop things in there, but it's impossible to send something out. Little Japan is aware of this, and they plan to use poison gas to attack it quickly.
After coming down, those prisoners of war will either be locked up or killed without any evidence...The key is that there is one more thing..."
Li Guoliang lowered his voice when he said this:
"The Japanese were still slandering the League of Nations, and they brought up the matter of our fleet's bombardment of Hakodate. It is said that the Masanori squadron completed the bombardment of the port, didn't they also bombard the city? The Japanese said that a large number of civilians were killed and injured. They said it was countless
Thousands of them..."
"Nonsense!" Xiang Xiaoqiang was filled with anger, but he lowered his voice and said, "There were only so many rounds in total. It's a big deal to kill a hundred of them, but thousands of them...the original bombardment of Badawi
Ya, it only killed a hundred and eighty natives...Does Japan live in sardine cans?"
Li Guoliang also sneered:
"Everyone knows it's definitely not that much. But whoever is putting this matter on has to talk more about it, so that it seems reasonable."
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed irritably. He knew that if chemical warfare retaliation was approved, Hainan Airlines and Army Airlines would definitely bear the brunt. He asked in a low voice:
"Why, haven't you approved the revenge yet?"
Li Guoliang shook his head:
"No. The use of biological and chemical warfare involves the political level and requires the personal approval of the Prime Minister. They are still studying it now."
At this time, Xiuxiu came over from the Navy. She reported the situation to Xiang Xiaoqiang, which was roughly the same as what Li Guoliang introduced. However, she was more detailed.
"The Hai Zong Shen side is not in favor of hasty chemical warfare retaliation," Xiu Xiu said, "Master Xiong said that the Japanese used poison gas bombs in Anton, which was a military necessity. They used poison gas bombs
We can capture Anton faster, and we can die without evidence. So we obviously can't use poison gas just for the sake of using poison gas. Using poison gas is a very unpopular thing, unless there are absolute practical benefits.
Due to exact military necessity, otherwise it would be uneconomical to use poison gas purely for revenge. Mr. Xiong said that on the Fengtian battlefield, poison gas must not be released in large quantities. Those are our common people. Even in North Korea, we have no choice but to use military targets.
Use. But since you can throw poison gas bombs over the Japanese military camps in Korea, you might as well throw bombs and incendiary bombs. They are more lethal than mustard gas, and they are less condemned."
