    Chapter 161: Poison Gas Bomb (New book, please watch)

    "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

    The artillery of the Chinese army finally made its voice heard. The shells broke through the muzzle and hit the Japanese artillery position a few kilometers away.

    Since the Chinese defenders basically did not use artillery this day, let alone large-caliber artillery, and even small-caliber mortars were useless, they only occasionally used grenades to lose their temper. Therefore, the Japanese troops on the front line thought that Li Guoyao  The headquarters did not have artillery, so when setting up the position, it was amateurish to move the artillery position forward about two kilometers.

    Since the distance between the artillery positions of both sides is very close, only a little more than three kilometers, the defenders can even see the situation on the Japanese artillery positions through telescopes, thus creating important conditions for the defenders to counterattack.

    After all, if the distance between the two sides is far enough, even if they are caught by surprise, they will not be able to directly see the situation of the opposite position, and the results will be very limited.

    However, it is different now. As the shells fell directly into the Japanese artillery position, a huge explosion enveloped the entire Japanese artillery position in an instant.

    For a time, the sounds of explosions and shells exploding one after another shook the ground so much that the charging Japanese infantry and the Chinese defenders on the rear positions subconsciously stopped and looked back to check the situation.

    What happened at the Japanese front-line headquarters and artillery positions completely shocked Hisao Tani and others!

    "Baga, where did that person get the artillery? How could it be so ferocious?"

    "Your Excellency, the Commander of the Division: From the start of the battle yesterday to just now, the army has not used artillery. Even our reconnaissance planes have not discovered the artillery position of the army. It may be that the opponent hid the artillery from the beginning.  !" replied Huo Dazuo Shimono, Chief of Staff of the Sixth Division.

    "Bagaya Road, that person is very cunning!" Hisao Tani roared angrily.

    Just as he was talking, a captain's staff officer hurriedly ran into the command tent and said: "Report: The artillery position was counterattacked by an artillery unit, and 76 artillery pieces of various types were lost. The other two-thirds of the artillery shells exploded, and more than one soldier was injured.  Fifteen hundred people!¡±

    "idiot!"

    Even a man like Hisao Tani, who has experienced great storms, feels sad for such a heavy loss. This is more than 70 cannons. You must know that a complete artillery regiment of the Imperial Army only has 36 various artillery pieces. 76 is equivalent to two  A complete artillery regiment.

    More importantly, after these months of fighting, the artillery units of each division have suffered considerable losses. Some of the artillery units were blown up by the Chinese Air Force, and others were damaged naturally. In fact, the artillery units of each division have suffered heavy losses.  The team only has two-thirds of its peak strength, so these 76 artillery pieces have almost wiped out three-quarters of their strength.

    This is not the case in China, where any loss can be replenished as soon as possible. Artillery equipment has always been relatively tight. With so much loss at once, I don¡¯t know when it will be replenished. During this period, without the fire support of artillery, the combat effectiveness of the troops will inevitably be reduced.  affected.

    "That army is really too cunning. It has kept its artillery hidden. The purpose is to make us relax our vigilance and then kill us with one strike. The other side's commander is too scary!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke said in a deep voice.

    "What's scary about the other side is not just their mind, but more importantly their amazing endurance! In the battle yesterday, the troops lost at least 20,000 people, but even under such circumstances, the other side's commander  They haven't used their artillery, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to bear it anymore!" Lieutenant General Ogisu Rihei also said.

    "I didn't expect that there would be such a commander. To be honest, I really want to chop off his head with the command knife in my hand!" Lieutenant General Nakajima of the 16th Division said coldly.

    "Humph, what can we do without artillery support? Order the frontline troops to prepare special smoke!" Hisao Tani said angrily.

    When they heard about special cigarettes, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up!

    As senior commanders of the Japanese army, of course they knew what the so-called special smoke was. To put it bluntly, it was actually poison gas bombs.

    Since gas bombs are weapons banned by the international community, in order to cover up people¡¯s eyes and ears, the kid came up with this so-called "special smoke" name in an ingenious way. In fact, everyone who knows the inside story knows what it is.

    Although the international community is extremely disgusted with chemical weapons, the power of chemical weapons is obvious to all. In addition, the resistance of the Chinese army is far more intense than the Japanese army imagined. Therefore, the little devils began to use poison gas bombs in a small area in China to speed up the war.  end.

      Hearing that Hisao Tani actually authorized the front-line troops to use poison gas bombs to attack the Chinese defenders on the opposite side, all the Japanese generals were very excited. The lethality of chemical weapons is very terrifying. If the time is right, they can defeat or even completely annihilate the enemy on the opposite side.  Building an army is not a piece of cake.

    What¡¯s more, the poison gas bomber is very particular about using it in winter or other windy seasons, because this can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

    Gas bombs generally cannot be used in the summer because the temperature is usually higher in the summer. It is well known that high temperatures will generally cause the gas to float to high places, so the effect is particularly unsatisfactory.

    It is winter right now, and the wind is still blowing from the northwest. As long as artillery shells are fired from the northwest of the defender's position, the wind will blow the poisonous gas to the defender's position.

    Of course, in order to avoid accidental damage, the Japanese army also withdrew the troops downwind.

    After receiving the order from the front-line headquarters, the Japanese troops on the front line were overjoyed. Due to their superstition of poison gas bombs, the Japanese army, from the lieutenant general to the commander down to the ordinary soldiers, believed that poison gas bombs were the ultimate weapon for attacking cities and plundering territory, no matter how big the enemy was.  Because of their tenacity, a few poison gas bombs can often be used to defeat them, so as soon as they heard that the division headquarters was preparing to use poison gas bombs, all the soldiers were in a state of excitement.

    At this time, the Japs on the front line had been repulsed. Since the artillery positions behind them were blocked, the attack seemed a bit anticlimactic.

    But soon the Japs were ready to attack again, and a dozen mortars deployed on the front line were also ready!

    Following the Japanese commander¡¯s order, after a series of dull sounds of ¡°bang¡±, ¡°bang¡± and ¡°bang¡±, more than a dozen artillery shells hit the defenders¡¯ position again.

    "Lie down"

    "It's a bombardment from the Japs, please stay down"

    "You are so stupid, hurry up and get down"

    After an urgent sound of falling down, the soldiers on the garrison position fell to the ground one after another. This was their only way to avoid the Japanese shelling.

    However, what they did not expect was that none of the shells that the little devils landed on the position exploded, and only wisps of yellow smoke came out.

    Is it a stink bomb?

    But it shouldn¡¯t be. It¡¯s already a very small probability that there will be a dud among dozens of shells. How could there be dozens of duds in a row? The little devil¡¯s industrial production capacity shouldn¡¯t be so bad.

    Suddenly, several soldiers felt dizzy and then fell to the ground.

    Soon, Zhang Tengjiao, who was in charge of the command on the front line, suddenly thought of something, and then shouted loudly: "It's a gas bomb, put on the gas mask quickly and get ready to fight!"

    Zhang Tengjiao was from the Northeast Army and had fought against the Japs many times, so he had seen the Japs¡¯ gas bombs!

    After his reminder, the soldiers immediately woke up and each of them hurriedly took out the gas masks they carried and put them on their heads.  Those who do not have a gas mask should follow the instructions given by the host and find a wet towel to cover their mouth and nose.

    Although the defenders discovered it early and prepared a large number of gas masks in advance, due to lack of experience, the shelling still caused huge casualties to the defenders, and many soldiers were poisoned.

    Fortunately, the Japanese army only used suffocating gas instead of erosive mustard gas this time, so if the rescue is timely, it can still be relieved.

    However, before the soldiers could carry the injured brothers off the battlefield, a sharp whistle sounded again on the battlefield, and the little Japs came up.
