Chapter 348: Poison Gas War (Part 1)

"Baga, Chief of Staff, what exactly do you want to say? I want you to get to the point immediately. What I want to know is how to solve the difficulties our army is currently encountering. I am not asking you to analyze past battles for me. Then

It’s something that will happen in the future.” At this moment, General Shun Tada’s roar interrupted the chief of staff who wanted to continue.

"Hi, Commander, here are the specific tactics I want to talk about..." Seeing Jun Tada's angry eyes, the chief of staff quickly stood up from his seat.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think that if we want to prevent the *** Division from continuing to develop like this, with the current strength of our army, we should mainly focus on the harassment of small units and constantly harass the Biang Jingjing in the base area of ​​the *** Division.

, at the same time, inflict a large amount of damage to the *** division, and slowly weaken the military strength of the *** division." The chief of staff replied loudly.

"Nani? Harassment, did the Chief of Staff forget what he just said so quickly?" Commander Lieutenant General Shun Tada said contemptuously.

"Hi, Commander, the harassment I am talking about is not ordinary harassment. It is obviously different from General Bin Sanyuan's tactics. Commander, please finish your words first and don't rush to conclusions." See.

Lieutenant General Tada Shun, whose face was full of contempt, and the chief of staff were also annoyed for a while, and replied unhappily.

"Um? Different kind of harassment, okay, Chief of Staff, in that case, I will listen attentively today and listen carefully to the Chief of Staff's tactics. What's different about it?" Lieutenant General Tada Shun still had a look of contempt on his face.

Said with daring belief.

"Hi, Commander. I don't know if Commander knows that among all the weapons and equipment of our great empire, there is a kind of equipment that our North China garrison has used except when it first attacked North China. It will be used in the future rule.

Period, especially in the past year, it has basically not been used?" the chief of staff nodded and asked.

"What, there is still equipment that has not been used? Chief of Staff, do we have any secret equipment for our army?" After hearing the Chief of Staff's question, Tada Shun frowned and said.

"Hi, Commander, our army does have a piece of equipment that has not been used in North China for more than a year. Moreover, all this equipment is stored in various ammunition depots." The chief of staff clicked.

He nodded and replied.

"How is it possible? There is secret equipment. Why don't all the troops put it into use? Especially the fifth division of the Japanese Empire that was wiped out by the Japanese division." Tada Shun still didn't react and asked in confusion.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's not that the units don't want to put it into use. It's that the use of this weapon must be approved by Your Excellency, Commander. When the fifth division was completely destroyed, all communications were interrupted, so the division commander

Itagaki-kun did not get approval and ultimately did not put this weapon of mass destruction into use," the chief of staff explained.

"Nani, let me think about it...Chief of Staff, are you talking about the poison gas bombs that have been equipped to our North China garrison?" After hearing the explanation from the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Tada Shun finally reacted and let out a loud surprise.

shouted.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander, what I am talking about is poison gas bombs. Now the entire North China region has entered autumn, and it has entered the season where poison gas bombs can be used. I think if we give every small unit that is responsible for the attack

Equipped with a certain number of poison gas bombs. I think even if they encounter several times the siege of the Eighth Route Army troops, they will be able to eliminate them all in the end and win the final victory. More importantly, we can also use the poison gas bombs in our hands to

To intimidate the Eighth Route Army's *** division..." A cruel smile appeared on the chief of staff's lips.

"Yoshi, Chief of Staff, although this idea is very inhumane and harmful to the peace of the world. However, for the future of the Japanese Empire, I, Shun Tada, will bear this cruel crime. Chief of Staff, I now agree to garrison in North China.

All military departments can put poison gas bombs into use. At the same time, all matters will be handed over to you. I hope that the Chief of Staff will not disappoint me this time. I am here, waiting for your good news?" Commander Lieutenant General Tada Shun said at the corner of his mouth.

He also showed a hint of smile and ordered loudly.

"Hi, Commander, I will definitely live up to your high expectations in this humble position. I will put a telegram of victory in front of you as soon as possible." After hearing the order from Commander Lieutenant General Shun Tada, the Chief of Staff was filled with excitement.

replied.

"Yoshi, Chief of Staff, go ahead and do the work. I'll be right here, waiting for your good news?" Lieutenant General Tada Shun nodded and ordered.

And less than a day after Tada Shun made up his mind, Jinzhong County, which is on the edge of the base area, unexpectedly launched two squadrons of Japs early in the morning. Two squadrons, more than 400 Japs, with

Two infantry artillery pieces, led by a major captain, marched out of the city gate of Jinzhong County and headed towards the Eighth Route Army base area north of the county seat. And their ultimate goal of this trip was inside the base area.

The location of Fengjiazhuang, the first division of the Japanese Army Division and the headquarters of the Third Army Regiment provided by the Japanese military intelligence organization.

"Your Excellency, Captain, for a month, the Taiyuan Headquarters has been ordering us to stand still and wait for reinforcements, prohibiting any troops from attacking and entering the Eighth Route Army base area. Why are we suddenly asked to dispatch two squadrons of troops to attack the Eighth Route Army *** Division base area today?"

After a Japanese squadron leader handed over the command of his squadron to the deputy captain, he rode up to the squadron leader and asked respectfully.

"Mr. Hase. Early this morning, your Excellency, the commander of the wing, conveyed to me the order from the Taiyuan headquarters. He ordered the troops of the two squadrons of our unit to attack immediately, and we must carry gas masks and the attachments of the wing headquarters.

An infantry artillery squad. However, Mr. Hase, haven't you noticed that the equipment of this infantry artillery squad is different from other artillery?" Seeing his beloved general, the captain did not hide anything.

The information he knew was revealed.

"But, captain, we only have two squadrons of troops, even with the assistance of two infantry artillery pieces from the infantry artillery squad. However, facing an elite infantry regiment of Fengjiazhuang *** Division, we are no match for them.

..Besides, if Fengjiazhuang is attacked, I believe the reinforcements from the *** Division will arrive within an hour and surround our entire unit. We will press in the Fengjiazhuang area and completely eliminate it..." Squadron Leader Chang Gu

The captain asked still puzzled.

"Mr. Hase, don't underestimate the two infantry cannons behind us. Even if more reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army arrive today, they will not be a match for our two squadrons." He looked at the two infantry cannons behind him that were glowing with blue light.

A smile appeared on the captain's lips and he said confidently.

"Nani, Captain, how is it possible that just two infantry cannons can have such an impact?" Captain Hase exclaimed in disbelief.

"Mr. Hase, have you forgotten what I just said? The infantry artillery team specially assigned to this wing headquarters is different from ordinary artillery. Have you forgotten the gas mask you are carrying on your back?" Captain?

Answered meaningfully.

"Gas masks? Gas bombs... Your Excellency, Captain, is it possible that the ammunition carried by the infantry artillery team is poison gas bombs?" Captain Hase, the squadron leader who reacted, exclaimed.

"Yo Xi, Mr. Changgu, in order to win this battle, we have carried a hundred rounds of poison gas bombs. I believe that with these weapons, the Eighth Route Army's *** division will no longer be our opponent. Let us

Let’s look forward to the battle later!” The captain sighed with emotion.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain. I believe that with the help of these weapons, the elite imperial troops of our two squadrons will eventually win and win the final victory." Seeing that the Captain has confirmed his guess.

The captain, Captain Hase, was also full of excitement.

"Yo Xi, Mr. Changgu, return to your command position immediately. According to the current marching speed of our army, we can arrive at Fengjiazhuang in two hours. So, you must be ready to fight at any time.

." The captain nodded and ordered.

"Hi, Mr. Captain."

And just when two squadrons of more than 400 Japs had just walked out of Jinzhong County. The investigators of the *** Division and the intelligence personnel lurking in Jinzhong County passed the news through various channels in the shortest possible time.

It was sent to the divisional headquarters and handed over to Commander Sun Xingbang.

Seeing the intelligence that the communications staff of the telegraph room had just handed over to him, the commander of the first division, Sun Xingbang, who had already reorganized the troops, was very happy: "Old Zhao, it's been a month, this little devil can really hold it in our hands.

After suffering such a big loss, there was no reaction at all. However, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and started to take action. Lao Zhao, there are only two squadrons of little devils, let's fight! It can also give the newly reorganized troops some practice.

, experience real positional warfare.”

"Old Sun, let's not discuss this issue for now. Don't you think there is something fishy about the little Japs sending troops today? There are only two little Japs from the squadron, and he didn't fear death and attacked us from the Third Regiment.

The regiment headquarters rushed over. Doesn’t the Japanese commander know that his two squadrons are nothing in front of our third regiment? "After reading the telegram in his hand, political commissar Zhao Dahe was not as excited as Sun Xingbang

, but analyzed calmly.

After listening to the political commissar's words, Sun Xingbang also fell silent. However, he soon seemed to make up his mind. "Old Zhao, no matter whether the little devils have a conspiracy or not, after all, these more than 400 little devils are just a piece of fat in our eyes.

, it’s all on our lips and we have to eat it. My idea is to order the Third Regiment of the *** to find suitable terrain and use ambush tactics to eat the little devils of these two squadrons. At the same time, other troops in the first division

We will immediately enter a state of alert and be ready to reinforce Fengjiazhuang at any time to meet any unexpected needs."

"That's all we can do, Old Sun, I hope the two of us are overthinking. In this case, let's give the order to the Third Regiment of the Japanese Army, so that they can prepare as early as possible and eliminate them in the shortest possible time.

These two squadrons are little devils." After listening to Sun Xingbang's order, political commissar Zhao Dahe also felt that this was the safest way and immediately agreed.

"Okay, then let's send a report to Zhong Wei, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Communist Party of China, and ask him to prepare for battle and eliminate the two invading squadrons of Japs." Commander Sun Xingbang nodded and ordered.

In this way, an hour passed. The first and second battalions of the Third Regiment of the Communist Party of China led by the regiment commander Zhong Wei, as well as the artillery company and heavy machine gun company directly under the regiment. A total of more than a thousand people, had already ambushed a section of the road.

Beside the highway less than three miles away from Fengjiazhuang, people were quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

Soon, when the soldiers were stunned, the Japanese army appeared in front of everyone. However, although the Japanese army at this time had experienced several major defeats in front of the Japanese divisions, they were arrogant.

There was no change in his heart. The army of more than 400 people dispatched a group of vanguard soldiers just 100 meters in front of the team. The remaining soldiers were in a neat queue with badges, carrying neat steps and arrogantly

March forward proudly.

"Order all troops to prepare for battle. No one is allowed to shoot without my order." Seeing the little Jaap, Zhong Wei couldn't restrain his excitement. He quickly loaded the pistol in his hand and pointed it behind him.

The correspondent ordered loudly. At the same time, a pair of eyes stared at the little Japanese who was getting closer and closer.

Although the encirclement of the Third Regiment of the Japanese Army was very close, the little Japanese from the two squadrons lined up more than 300 meters long did not find anything. Still under the leadership of the captain, they marched towards the soldiers with high spirits.

The encirclement was encircled. Slowly, two squadrons and more than 400 Japs finally completely entered the ambush circle of the soldiers.

Seeing the kid getting closer and closer to him, Zhong Wei, the commander-in-chief, also showed a hint of excitement. He slowly pointed the sight of the shell gun in his hand at the kid closest to him. The corner of his mouth

He also showed a confident smile and shouted loudly: "Comrades, don't save bullets, shoot me..."

"Bang, bang, bang..." Commander Zhong Wei quickly pulled the trigger of the shell gun in his hand. The kid closest to him, without any surprise, was hit by several bullets and was honored to be the first person killed in the ambush.

A little devil.

"Da da da... bang bang..." Immediately after Zhong Wei's gunfire sounded, more than a dozen light machine guns from the first and second battalions of the Third Regiment of the *** and all the heavy machine guns from the heavy machine gun company, mortared

The sound of artillery shells popping out. Due to the carelessness of the little Japs, more than 400 soldiers were killed. In the first round of intensive firing by the soldiers, more than 100 Japs from two squadrons were swept away in just an instant.

.

However, faced with being surrounded, the remaining three hundred or so little Japs didn't seem too anxious. Under the command of the battalion leader and two squadron leaders, they quickly formed a simple circle with two infantry cannons as the center.

Fortifications. At the same time, with the help of the corpses of fallen soldiers, bunkers began to be built amidst the hail of bullets from the soldiers. At the same time, all light machine guns and riflemen began to fight back in the shortest possible time. More importantly, the Japanese army launched

The grenade that he was proud of also began to fire grenades one after another at the three regiment positions on both sides.

"Order the artillery company to knock off the grenades of the little Japs for me immediately, quickly..." I saw the soldiers around me being blown up one after another by the constant shooting of several grenades of the little Japs.

On the ground. At the same time, the light and heavy machine gun positions that had been spitting out dense flames just now were also destroyed one by one under the attack of the Japanese grenade. The regiment leader Zhong Wei, who was originally unwilling to waste artillery shells again, became cruel.

He ordered loudly to the correspondent beside him.

As the correspondent left, the dull sound of mortars being ejected was immediately heard from the artillery position not far behind the regiment leader Zhong Wei. Immediately afterwards, a burst of fire broke out at the Japanese grenade position.

There was a dense explosion. Through the telescope, Zhong Wei could clearly see that one-third of the 12 grenade launchers that had been firing grenades just now were lost in one round of firing from his own artillery battery.

However, what makes the artillery company feel depressed is that the speed of the Little Japanese grenade launcher is too fast. Just when the artillery company fired the second round of artillery shells at the grenade position just now, the remaining few Little Japanese cannons were

The grenade launchers had already moved their positions. In the shortest possible time, they began to fire grenades at the new positions on both sides.

While the infantry of the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle, the two infantry cannons surrounded by the little devils also began to move. With the help of the grenades and the artillery company of the Third Regiment of the ***, the two infantry cannons fired at each other.

With the efforts of dozens of little devils, the infantry artillery pointed the muzzles of the two infantry cannons at the two wings of the entire encirclement. At the same time, rounds of different artillery shells were also fired by these artillery personnel wearing gas masks.

Stuffed into the muzzle.

"Boom... woo... comrades, the bombardment of the Japanese heavy artillery, quickly cover up..." I heard the shelling of two infantry guns and the whistling of the shells across the sky. I felt the shells heading towards

Commanders at all levels flying over their positions shouted orders to the soldiers who were shooting around them.

And just when the soldiers heard the order, they hugged their heads tightly with both hands and lay on the ground, two artillery shells also fell to the ground. However, what surprised the soldiers was that the artillery shells that landed on the position

, the explosion did not occur as the soldiers imagined.

"Comrades, keep shooting, this is a dumb bomb..." Seeing that the shell did not explode, the company commander who had just delivered the order couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, facing the more than a hundred gunmen on his position.

He ordered with a * sound. However, at the moment when he turned around and prepared to shoot, a thick yellow smoke suddenly appeared from the shell that had just landed.
