 Chapter 178 Qian Bojun fanned the flames (please subscribe)

"The brigade commander, Ge Dong, does not dare to question your combat orders."

"Based on the current situation, if they use special bombs to launch an attack, they will definitely gain results."

"The Jinsui Army has strong defensive capabilities. If they continue to carry out conventional attacks, I am afraid that their brigade will suffer heavy casualties."

"Now that they are under attack in many places in the occupied area of ​​Shanxi Province, after their brigade has dealt with the Shanxi-Sui army, will they be able to accomplish much?"

"So he believed that they could not suffer too many casualties there, which would affect subsequent operations."

Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff looked at Tsuda Mitake in front of him, and he hurriedly went to explain.

Tsuda Mitake frowned and glanced at the map, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

According to his irritable mood, he has already received the combat order, so he will never change it.

But Mitake Tsuda was touched by the words of the chief of staff.

He knew whether he could defeat the Jin-Sui army and then fight in other areas to achieve great results would be a great achievement.

Even Mitake Tsuda could reach the rank of lieutenant general with so many military exploits.

After all, he has been a major general brigade commander for many years, and has never been promoted in his position.

"Xinxi, what I said makes sense."

"If they want to use special bombs, they do not need approval from the military headquarters."

"Ma Zai contacted the military headquarters and requested permission to use special bombs."

Tsuda Mitake's face showed a smile, and he said immediately.

The combat suggestions of the Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff were directly adopted by him.

To request the use of special bombs for an attack in Xinxian County, the Japs do not need to obtain approval from the military headquarters.

The so-called special bombs of the Moon Army were actually poison gas bombs.

Because the Jinsui Army and other troops did not wait to use poison gas bombs, the Yue Army had no fear.

If the attack does not go smoothly during the battle, they will use the poisonous gas bomb to solve the battle.

The independent mixed fourth brigade had previously asked Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong's troops to completely eliminate them, so they distributed poison gas bombs.

After receiving the order, the Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff immediately contacted the First Army Headquarters.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning on August 22nd, and they were at the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters. Yoshio Shinozuka and others did not rest.

They stood in front of the map, with solemn expressions on their faces, and the relevant staff members were constantly marking the map.

More than a thousand reinforcements mobilized by the independent mixed ninth brigade were stubbornly blocked by Li Yunlong's new regiment and were unable to rush to the battlefield as planned.

At the same time, out of the more than 1,000 troops that had been exhausted in successive battles, only more than 500 people had been defeated, and a large number of weapons and equipment were lost and damaged.

Their situation was very dangerous and they were in danger of being annihilated at any time, so they quickly sent a request for help message to the military headquarters.

Shinozuka Yoshio did not expect that Li Yunlong's new group was ambushing too far away, and for a moment his face was filled with anger.

But now that the First Army has no extra troops to deploy, they can just ask the more than 500 little devils to defend tenaciously.

"Commander Ge Dong, relevant troops from southern Shanxi have been quickly mobilized, and they are also rapidly advancing towards the front line."

"The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade of Bu Nao failed to attack the 48th Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army. They sent a message requesting the use of special ammunition."

"According to their report, those who appeared in Xin County were none other than Chu Yunfei's 48th Independent Brigade."

"And in the second lesson, we also got more detailed information. The front lines of Qicun Town and Hesuo Town are the 358th Regiment under the personal command of Chu Yunfei."

"And those fighting on the front line in Zhuangmo Town are the 11th Reserve Regiment, headed by Chen Ziyun."

"The Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade made deployments based on battlefield conditions, but their attacks had no effect."

At that time, Chief of Staff Hideyoshi Kusuyama quickly came to Yoshio Shinozuka and rushed to make a report.

After Yoshio Shinozuka heard the report, he quickly took the message and checked it.

Then he looked towards Xin County and frowned tightly.

The Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade was a mobile combat force controlled by the First Army, but they were also restrained because of the participation of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops in the war.

In the follow-up combat plan, that brigade will be responsible for relatively heavy combat tasks.

They were unable to break free from the constraints of Chu Yunfei's troops, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"The 48th Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army has developed to such a terrifying stage."

"It's really unbelievable, that team was on such a hateful journey!"

"Quickly call back to the headquarters of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade to approve their use of special bombs."

"Tell Mitake Tsuda that it is now three forty in the morning. Before four o'clock in the morning, they must completely defeat the 48th Independent Brigade."

Yoshio Shinozuka did not hesitate and immediately issued the battle order.

He also knew that if he did not use special bombs to attack, it would be difficult for the independent fourth brigade to achieve results.

Even if they can repel the 48th Independent Brigade, they will still pay heavy casualties, which is something the First Army Headquarters is not willing to see.

On the contrary, poison gas bombs can be the killer weapon of the Moon Army. After using poison gas bombs, they can achieve maximum results with minimum casualties.

"Hi, Commander, Hideyoshi." Kusuyama Hideyoshi immediately agreed to come.

At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was gradually getting brighter.

After Mitake Tsuda received the approval message from the military headquarters, he quickly began preparations.

The 11th and 12th Independent Field Battalions began to prepare to continue the attack.

The artillerymen of the four Type 94 mountain guns would otherwise start wearing gas masks.

Boxes marked with skulls were quickly transported to the artillery position.

At 4:15, Mitake Tsuda began to issue the bombardment order.

The four mountain cannons continued to fire grenades towards Qicun Town, and dozens of rounds of grenades were fired towards the 358th Regiment position in Qicun Town.

If the Moon Army confuses the shelling, the purpose is to make the Shanxi-Sui Army troops think that this is not a routine shelling.

After the grenade shooting was completed, the Little Japanese artillery unit began to load poison gas bombs and fired directly towards the Qicun Town position.

Poison gas bombs landed on the position one after another, and not long after, layers of smoke began to appear in the position.

There are four types of gas bombs commonly used by little devils, namely green bombs, red bombs, yellow bombs and tea bombs.

Those four colors will be marked on the gas bombs to distinguish them.

Among them, the yellow bomb is an erosive gas bomb, which will cause ulcers on the skin and mucous membranes after use.

Tea bombs, on the other hand, are highly poisonous and can directly lead to heart failure and death on the spot.

Those two kinds of poison gas bombs are rarely used by the Moon Army. After all, once the Moon Army comes into contact, they will also pose a fatal threat.

So usually they would use those two types of gas bombs to cover their evacuation in order to prevent pursuit during an emergency retreat.

When attacking, they use green bullets and red bullets the most.

What is currently appearing in the 358th Regiment position is not a green bomb. The so-called green bomb is actually a tear gas bomb.

The kind of gas bomb that causes constant tears and loss of combat effectiveness is the poison gas bomb with the least power and damage.

Are the little devils equipped with gas masks so that they can easily deal with green bombs?

After the Moon Army uses green bombs, the troops will wear gas masks and quickly rush to the position.

The poisoned officers and soldiers were crying constantly and were completely unable to aim and shoot. Naturally, they would not deny the little Japanese's wrong leg.

At this time, at the Qicun Town position, as the poisonous gas spread, some soldiers had begun to show symptoms.

Tears kept flowing down their eyes, and even though they kept wiping them, there was no relief.

Experienced military officers Ma Zai realized that the Moon Army had used poison gas bombs, and they rushed to shout.

After Chu Yunfei at the brigade headquarters received the report, he immediately issued an order to evacuate eastward and westward.

The artillery company directly under the 358th Regiment quickly carried out covering artillery fire with six Shanxi orogenic guns east of Zhu Mingxuan's command.

Each row of grenades will fire out a few smoke grenades to create smoke and cover the evacuation of various units.

The four infantry battalions quickly evacuated from Qicun Town, and Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong took personal command.

Acting commander Qian Bojun followed the troops and moved directly towards the high ground on the west side.

After that period of continuous fighting and training by Chen Ziyun, will the overall level of the 358th Regiment be greatly improved?

Even if they were attacked by poisonous gas and then relocated, the battalions would not have time to stop the chaos, but could effectively provide cover.

The fourth battalion, which was the first to break away from the position, continuously launched fire suppression against the Moon Army to prevent them from quickly advancing to the position.

The remaining three infantry battalions quickly evacuated, and by five o'clock, the 358th Regiment broke away from the Qicun Town position.

A large number of little devils came to Qicun Town, so they got an empty position.

Because of the timely transfer, the 358th Regiment did not discard any wounded soldiers or weapons and ammunition.

But the poison gas attack caused the casualties of the 358th Regiment to increase to about 600.

At this time, their combat strength was more than 2,000, and more than 300 wounded people began to be transferred for treatment.

Chu Yunfei stood on the high ground, raised his telescope to observe, and frowned tightly.

After all, according to the plan, Group 358 seeks to quickly capture the villages and towns in the east, as well as the hilly areas to the east.

Can we fight until now? Not only have the hilly areas not been taken away, but all the villages and towns have been lost.

Moreover, after the entire regiment fought, the total casualties directly exceeded 600 people, which was almost the strength of a battalion.

"Brigade, what does Chen Ziyun mean? Until now, he is standing still on the front line in Zhuangmo Town."

"Does he want to see the 358th regiment completely annihilated? If he could rush to help quickly at this time, why would they be in such a mess?"

"He sees if Chen Ziyun is arrogant about taking credit and only cares about his immediate interests without any sense of the overall situation."

"Letting him serve as the leader of the 11th Reserve Regiment is completely a wrong decision."

"The three battalion commanders Wu Ziqiang, Shi Yujie, and Zhang Fuli are all capable of taking over his command to command the 11th Reserve Regiment for combat."

Qian Bojun started to run to Chu Yunfei's side and directly fanned the flames.

Whether the 358th Regiment can be Chu Yunfei's direct troops, it cannot be the troops he trained and brought up by himself.

At this time, the 358th Regiment suffered more than 600 casualties and lost all the villages and towns. This was the moment when Chu Yunfei was most angry.

Qian Bojun was accused by Chen Ziyun of standing still and watching the annihilation of his brothers' troops.

If Chu Yunfei is confused, Chen Ziyun will most likely lose Chu Yunfei's trust completely.

"Captain Qian, if I had half the commanding ability of Ziyun, how could the 358th regiment lose Qicun Town?"

"Okay, don't say those words anymore, quickly check the weapons and ammunition loss of each battalion."

"Brother, Ma is establishing contact with the 11th Preparatory Regiment and asking them about the situation there."

"In addition, all units in the brigade are informed to be on guard against gas bomb attacks by the Moon Army."

"Especially in the town of Hesuo. It is the focus of the Lunar Army's attack from the east. It is very likely that they will be placed there."

Chu Yunfei glanced at Qian Bojun with a gloomy expression, and quickly began to issue combat orders.

The Yue army formed an independent fourth brigade. After they took over the villages and towns in Dongqi, they did not stop fighting.

Mitake Tsuda made the mistake of letting go of the main force of the 358th Regiment, and was very dissatisfied that he could not expand the results.

He transferred two squadrons of the reserve team to Qicun Town to fight independently as the main force of the 11th and 12th Field Brigade, otherwise he would take advantage of the situation to fight in the southeast.

The four mountain guns deployed in the hilly area also moved accordingly.

Now is he ready to assemble the main force, quickly attack Hesuo Town, and completely eat up the hundreds of elites there?

There are two squadrons of 400 Japs in Qicun Town, and Tsuda Mitake is not worried about the 358th Regiment's counterattack at all.

Because the relevant gas bombs have been sent to two squadrons.

The little devils were well prepared for the use of poison gas bombs. They made various poison gas bombs.

Not only are there specialized equipment for firing poison gas bombs, but grenades, mountain cannons, field guns and other artillery can also fire poison gas bombs.

The two-month army squadron stationed in Qicun Town can directly launch poison gas bombs at any time through the grenades equipped by each squad.

Once they encounter a counterattack from the 358th Regiment, they will immediately launch poison gas bombs to defend themselves.

At about 5:20, the main force of the independent mixed fourth brigade appeared in Hesuo Town in great force.

The 11th Field Brigade and the 12th Field Brigade are equipped with a mountain artillery squadron. More than a thousand troops appeared in the area north of Hesuo Town.

The 13th Field Brigade and the Cavalry also have more than a thousand troops in the area east of Hesuo Town.

Four Type 94 mountain guns were set up and fired directly at Hesuo Town.

That time they didn't cover up at all, and fired gas bombs one after another towards Hesuo Town.

Not long after, a large amount of smoke began to cover the town of Hesuo.

Hundreds of little Japs wearing gas masks quickly rushed toward Hesuo Town.

After receiving orders from Chu Yunfei, the troops stationed in Hesuo Town had quickly moved to Xihui Village and Yangpo Village.

Zhou Wenbo's field artillery battery and four Liao-made field guns also moved to the high ground and set up sheltering positions.

At this time, there are no defense forces in Cooperation Town.

At 5:40, more than 500 little devils came to Hesuo Town.

One of the Japs peered through a gas mask, but they didn't find any defensive troops.

"Boom boom boom."

Some Japs continued to move forward, but soon they detonated the booby traps set by the guard company.

With the sound of explosions, the field artillery battery that evacuated to the high ground on the west began to shell.

Four Liao-made field guns were directly deployed in Suo Town for shelling.

The four 81MM mortars belonging to the guard company and the cavalry company in the east also conducted shelling.
