Zhou Wen even specifically told Miaohua and Zhao Xiaojin that if the senior did not listen to their advice, they would use coercive measures to stop him.
Hehe, for two powerful mirror masters, it is not easy to control Zhao Changshu, a half-time master.
Miaohua stood at attention and saluted Meng Yuting: "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission."
At this time, the brothers of the mercenary group must give due respect and praise to Meng Yuting as the commander-in-chief of the battle. Not only must they set a pattern for the proud soldiers of the Model Brigade, but they must also
Establish Meng Yuting's status and prestige.
Watching Meng Yuting hurriedly walk out of the headquarters bunker, Zhao Changshu also put on a gas mask, turned to Xu Zhiqin at the headquarters and said: "Let's go see the casualties of the troops. The brothers who were poisoned should be sent to the field hospital as soon as possible.
It is estimated that the Japanese army will launch an attack soon."
…
At this time, Hattori Jiro had already dispatched a reinforced squadron of more than 250 Japanese soldiers wearing Japanese 87-style gas masks to start the attack. The reason why he waited until the middle of the night to start the attack was not only to paralyze the vigilance of the defenders, but also to
It's about waiting for the wind direction to change.
You must know that it has already entered spring, and the wind in the mountains is still very strong. If the wind direction is not to the south, the gas bombs will be blown away by the wind in a few minutes. If the wind direction is north, the gas bombs will be blown away by the wind. If the wind direction is north, the gas bombs will be blown away by the wind.
But it drifts down the mountain, and it becomes self-poisoning.
However, just when he thought his plan was successful, the attacking troops reported that the Chinese defenders' positions were empty and had already evacuated before the gas bomb attack.
It must have been that Meng Yuting noticed something was wrong and withdrew all the 2nd and 3rd companies of the 1st Battalion and the directly affiliated troops half an hour before the Japanese opened fire. Otherwise, the 1st Battalion, except for the incomplete 1st Company that had been transferred to defense, would probably be on the position now.
There won't be many living people left.
You must know that although gas gas is not as deadly as mustard gas, even mild poisoning can cause blurred vision and general weakness. Facing the vicious Japanese army, these hundreds of model brigade officers and soldiers turned into lambs to be slaughtered, without any
The power of resistance.
"Baga! Is the Chinese commander on the other side a roundworm in my stomach? He actually retreated like a bag."
Hattori Jiro cursed in his heart, but still issued the order for the attacking troops to attack the top of the mountain. At the same time, the order had been prepared for more than 700 combat infantrymen of the 3rd Battalion, which was still intact, to also attack the top of the mountain.
You must know that even if Japan is able to produce gas masks on its own, due to military expenditure considerations, not every soldier is equipped with such equipment that is not used in daily life.
Moreover, they did not carry gas masks to protect against the Chinese army’s gas bombs, because China during the Republic of China did not have the ability to produce gas bombs at all.
The purpose of equipping the little devils with gas masks was to facilitate their use of poison gas bombs, and then sent soldiers wearing gas masks to massacre the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians who were defenseless after being poisoned.
Therefore, the Japanese have only one squadron of each combat brigade in the standing division equipped with gas masks.
In the past, the Japanese army controlled the timing of launching poison gas bombs very accurately. Now the strong wind blowing from the south blows the poison gas smoke clouds to the top of the mountain. Even if the poison gas smoke becomes thinner after reaching the top of the mountain, it will still cause a large number of poisoning and casualties to the Chinese defenders.
By the time the 3rd Brigade, which was supported by the Japanese army, rushed to the top of the mountain, the poisonous gas had been blown away by the mountain wind. For the more than 700 Japanese troops behind without gas masks, the risk of poisoning had been reduced to a minimum, while the Chinese troops on the top of the mountain were either
Those who were forced to retreat by the poisonous gas were either paralyzed on the ground and waiting for death.
Ten minutes later, the news from the top of the mountain cheered up Hattori Jiro.
A Japanese squadron in the vanguard has occupied the first position set up by the Chinese defenders on the ridge of the mountain. Although the position is still empty, from the attacker's point of view, occupying the ridge is equivalent to being on the top of the mountain.
It occupies a supporting point, and the city gate of Lenggou Pass is only 200 meters away from the ridge, so it can be said to be very close.
So, these more than 250 Japanese soldiers wearing gas masks moved toward the second position on the top of the mountain.
There were only a few trenches criss-crossing the city gates between the ridgeline position and the city gate, which didn't look very tall and majestic but was very simple. These Japs were confident that they could capture it with a single charge.
It was already 4 o'clock in the morning, and the poisonous fog on the top of the mountain did not stay long in the strong wind that kept blowing. It had basically disappeared. But except for the sound of the wind, the top of the mountain was surprisingly quiet.
The leading Japanese squad leader felt a little strange. If the Chinese army really suffered from large-scale poisoning, there would be soldiers who fell to the ground and were unconscious along the way, and there should even be corpses of people who died of severe poisoning.
Even if they are forced to evacuate their positions due to poisonous gas, there must be some signs and sounds of chaos.
However, on the top of the mountain now, except for the whistling wind and his own heavy breathing, there was no sound coming to his ears, which made people feel a little strange.
The Japs squad leader simply untied the sealing buckle on the back of his head and pulled off the gas mask. The suddenly clear sight and smooth breathing made him feel relaxed, but his mood began to become heavy, because the surrounding environment showed that
, there is no sign of large-scale poisoning of the Chinese defenders at all.
You must know that even the Japanese army itself cannot provide a gas mask per person, so they simply do not think that the Chinese army, which cannot even guarantee a single shot per person, will have such equipment.
But where did the Chinese defenders go?
He looked towards another trench that was vaguely visible in front of him. The long, dark trench was like the open mouth of a ferocious beast, emitting a deep cold air.
He instinctively made a gesture to order the team to stop. He looked back to the rear of the team, only to see the squadron leader's gesture to continue moving forward.
You must know that this Japanese squadron belongs to the 2nd Battalion, which was originally a unit of the 6th Division.
In yesterday's offensive battle, although the 2nd Battalion was not nearly wiped out like those stupid pigs of the 1st Battalion, only about 400 of the more than 700 offensive troops were able to return to the foot of the mountain position, which was basically considered a loss.
He was beaten to half a disability.
After the troops retreated, Major Taro Nojiri, the captain of the brigade, was slapped into a pig's head with more than a dozen slaps by the brigade commander. Major Taro Nojiri, who was so angry and had no place to vent, beat the three surviving squadron captains under him to a pulp.
Pig head.
This attack was an opportunity for the 2nd Battalion to wash away its shame. It gathered the elite veterans of the four squadrons that were already incomplete and formed a strengthened squadron, equipped with gas masks to take on the vanguard of this attack.
