Age of Conquest Reborn

At dawn, everything was quiet, not even the birds chirped. The gunshots became more and more sharp, shaking the air and spreading into the distance. Under normal circumstances, this string of gunshots would be heard by a veteran field unit like the 6th Brigade.

, enough to stimulate the reaction of the soldiers on the position, or there was a loud sound of gunfire, or a noisy gathering of people, but nothing happened. Jiang Xianliang's shuttle of submachine gun bullets seemed to disappear in the air.

A few days before this, the commander of the independent division ordered Major General Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the division's logistics department and the Peking Joint Logistics Department, to equip all soldiers participating in the northern campaign with gas masks. Zhou Yushan overcame various possibilities and completed the task.

, gas masks were distributed to every soldier, and the 6th Marine Brigade was no exception. However, during the Japanese raid at dawn, the gas masks did not work.

By mistake, the commander of the Japanese 107th Division, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon, did not know that the independent division troops were issued gas masks. His plan was for the special mortar brigade to launch special shells -

- The nerve gas bomb code-named ""A--V"001". This kind of gas bomb can paralyze a person's nerves and cause them to lose their ability to move and their consciousness, but it cannot kill them immediately.

Then, the division's artillery group carried out all-round bombardment on the main position of the Phoenix Mountain of the Independent Division and the surrounding positions. According to Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon's vision, there were people who retained their consciousness everywhere on the position, but they

The soldiers of the independent division who were unable to move helplessly

Watching the imperial army's artillery shells, overwhelming, unable to dodge, unable to hide, that kind of fear is so strong. What he wants is this effect, to mentally destroy the fighting will of the soldiers of the independent division, and set the future for them.

Infantry charge, fully clearing obstacles.

If Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon followed the Japanese army's habit of attacking first, shelling first and then firing gas bombs, then the gas masks carried by the soldiers of the 6th Brigade would make the Japanese gas bombs ineffective at all.

Doesn't work.

A small change in tactics brought a huge disaster to the Sixth Brigade. The soldiers were all asleep and unknowingly poisoned by poisonous gas. At dawn, a moderate northeast wind blew, causing the poisonous gas to explode.

Spreading throughout the Phoenix Mountain position, the changes in tactics and the favorable natural climate made Lieutenant General Shin Yuemon's attack plan unprecedentedly smooth.

Jiang Xianliang did not give up. He fired another round of bullets into the air, and this time there was a reaction. However, it was not at the forward position, but at the rear of the position. Officers and soldiers wearing gas masks appeared in Jiang Xianliang's field of vision one after another.

,

Fortunately, when they first arrived at the Fenghuang Mountain position today, Jiang Xianliang ordered the regiment to dig more communication trenches and make the defense as deep as possible. The second-line troops in the rear were less poisoned. Although they were also exhausted, they could still move.

Looking at the assembled troops, which looked like a little more than a battalion, and a regiment of reserves, and then listening to the direction of the first line of positions, there was still silence. Jiang Xian's conscience was burning with discomfort, and unknowingly, he was injured.

The way of the devil!

Jiang Xianliang glared fiercely at Meng Jianzhu, the commander of the first regiment, and said: "Meng Jianzhu, the situation is not good. The troops on the front line have all been poisoned by poison gas. You should bring the reserve team up immediately. Ignore the little devil's attack first. The poisoned soldiers must be killed."

, everyone, withdraw to the third-line position. Don’t worry about the weapons, ammunition and equipment for now. It’s more important to save people! I order the brigade heavy artillery regiment to cover your actions with artillery fire, be quick!”

Seeing a battalion of soldiers, wearing gas masks, disappearing into the dawn mist, Jiang Xianliang's chest felt as heavy as a huge boulder. Since the little devil thought of releasing poison gas first, he must have the back-up plan to attack later.

Now, we know that the first regiment has lost more than 80% of its combat effectiveness. What about the other regiments?

Jiang Xianliang rushed back to the headquarters of the first regiment and called the second and third regiments. The situation was similar to what he expected. The soldiers in the first-line position, including the second-line position, were all asleep, and they were possessed by the little Japs.

Dao'er, the situation is similar to that of the First Regiment. The main troops are all on the front line.

Jiang Xianliang almost vomited blood, which meant that the Sixth Brigade had basically lost its combat effectiveness. He had no time to think about it, why did the vigilant skirmishers three kilometers away from the front position not issue any alarm? How did the little Japanese secretly

Touching the front edge of the position silently?

After walking around anxiously in the shelter, Jiang Xianliang suddenly remembered something and grabbed the phone, "I'm Jiang Xianliang. Get me to the brigade field hospital immediately and find the director! Hurry!"

The call was quickly connected. The Sixth Brigade Field Hospital was at the rear of the position, where the Japanese poisonous gas had not yet spread. The director did not understand the situation. He heard that the brigade commander had called in a hurry in the early morning.

, inexplicable, "Brigadier, I am the dean Fang Zhizhou, what are your orders!" he said.

Jiang Xianliang said hurriedly: "President Fang, the situation is urgent. The front line position of Phoenix Mountain and the positions on the left and right wings were attacked by gas bombs by the Japs. Most of the soldiers fell in the trenches. I order you, all military doctors and nurses in the field hospital.

, organize rescue immediately, yes, go to the front line! If someone dies, I will question you!"

Director Fang grinned and said: "Brigadier Commander, it is okay to dispatch the entire field hospital, but we have to know what type of poison gas the soldiers were hit by before we can take targeted rescue measures. Therefore, we need to take samples first.

After conducting physical and chemical index tests to determine the type of poison gas launched by the Japanese army, we should carry appropriate antidote agents. If our field hospital does not have an antidote, we still need to ask the headquarters hospital for help!"

Dean Fang was an intellectual and was very strict. He rambled a lot, which made Jiang Xianliang furious. He shouted, "That's enough, Dean Fang. Just send someone right away. There's so much nonsense."

, I’ll tell you the symptoms are weakness and confusion!”

The brigade commander swore. This was the first time for Dean Fang to tremble with fright. Fortunately, the symptoms described by the brigade commander were clear enough. He immediately said: "I understand, brigade commander, it is a nerve gas. I

Organize a medical team to go to the front line immediately!"

After Jiang Xianliang issued strict orders to the brigade field hospital, he called the heavy artillery regiment of the brigade, "Heavy artillery regiment? I am Jiang Xianliang, ordering you to prepare for battle immediately and wait for my order!"

Just as he put down the phone, Jiang Xianliang suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the northern sky. It was the sound of high-speed flying metal projectiles rubbing the air. Moreover, there were definitely a lot of them. His face,

It will turn pale immediately, and it will take a long time

Jiang Xianliang, who had gone through the battle formation, could certainly hear that it was a salvo of at least two hundred artillery pieces of different calibers, "The little devils have shelled. On the front line, most of the soldiers of the three regiments were still lying unable to move.

This little devil is going to kill them all!"

Jiang Xianliang hurriedly grabbed the phone and said, "Heavy artillery regiment, I order to fire immediately to suppress the Japanese artillery fire and shoot out all the artillery shells. Even if there is only one cannon left, we must continue the bombardment. On the forward position, more than 10,000 soldiers

My life depends on the protection of your heavy artillery regiment!"

When he issued this order, Jiang Xianliang did not have much confidence in his heart. He did not know and forgot to ask whether the position of the heavy artillery regiment had been hit by the Japanese gas bombs. In just a few minutes, the first round of artillery shells from the Japanese artillery

Before Phoenix Mountain and the surrounding defense lines exploded, a scream came from behind the Sixth Brigade's position, quickly passing overhead and flying to the north.

The heavy artillery regiment of the 6th Brigade and the artillery group of the 107th Division of the Japanese Army began a brutal artillery battle with disparity in power. The sky was immediately filled with whistling and intertwined ballistic trajectories, and the peaceful dawn was no longer

There were violent explosions and smoke everywhere.

Jiang Xianliang took a deep breath. Fortunately, the heavy artillery regiment was fine. Otherwise, the Sixth Brigade would have suffered a big loss today. Only then did he feel that all the strength in his body seemed to have been taken away from his legs.

It was as soft as stepping on a pile of cotton, his head was dizzy, and stars were shooting out of his eyes. He wanted to find a place to have a good sleep, but Jiang Xianliang knew that he could not fall.

Although the brigade heavy artillery regiment can exert a certain suppressive effect on the Japanese artillery, since it is a carefully planned attack by the Japs, it cannot be just an artillery attack. What follows will be a large-scale infantry assault. He fell.

The sixth brigade is finished!

He held on and walked into the radio room of the shelter. He saw several operators, all wearing gas masks, guarding the radio station energetically. Although they were poisoned, they had not lost the ability to move. Han Tie commanded the troops to enter

In the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, the three Marine Corps brigades on the Gaizhou and Andong lines were directly under the command of the division command. Jiang Xianliang sat on the damp ground in the shelter and dictated the message to the division command.

"The division pointed out that at dawn today, our Sixth Brigade's main position at Fenghuang Mountain north of Andong and its surrounding positions were suddenly attacked by Japanese gas bombs. Unprepared, the troops lost more than 80% of their troops.

Combat strength, now, the Japanese army has begun to bombard our positions. Please ask the division commander for instructions on what to do next. Although we are in an extremely unfavorable situation, all the officers and soldiers of the 6th Brigade will never lose an inch of our position and are willing to live or die with the position!"

After dictating the telegram, Jiang Xianliang's face turned sallow and he was breathing heavily. Outside the shelter, the sound of artillery became more intense. The shells exploded above the shelter, shaking the soil on the ceiling and falling down. He ordered the guards,

"Go, get a bucket of cold water and pour it on me!"

Several guards were strong, and after putting on gas masks, they basically regained their ability to move. Soon, a large bucket of cold water was brought, but the guards hesitated. Jiang Xianliang became angry and shouted viciously: "Pour it on quickly!

Don't act like a bitch!"
