At the field hospital of the Japanese Sixth Division, many wounded soldiers were wailing, including many wounded Japanese soldiers who had been fumigated and burned by white phosphorus bombs.

Captain Takeda is also one of them.

Looking at the gauze bandaged on Captain Takeda's face, Commander Hisao Tani asked comfortingly: "Takeda-kun, how are you feeling today?"

Seeing the division commander Hisao Tani personally asking about the injury, Captain Takeda couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude: "Your Excellency, division commander, I am guilty and I can't forgive you!"

Taking away the katana from Captain Takeda's hand, Commander Hisao Tani shouted loudly: "You can't die without my order! It's not your fault. If not, it's the China Army that's too cunning to use chemical weapons?"

Takeda-kun, you are a top chemistry student in the empire, do you know what this weapon is?"

After thinking for a moment, Captain Takeda said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to my judgment, the China Army probably used something called white phosphorus as a chemical weapon?"

His eyes were stunned, and the commander of the division Hisao Tani asked: "What is white phosphorus? This thing is so powerful? It actually burned so many soldiers, and some even had difficulty breathing."

The wound on his face hurt slightly, Captain Takeda said: "Have you ever seen the will-o'-wisps in the countryside, Division Commander?"

Nodding, Commander Tani Hisao Division responded: "When I was a child in the countryside, I often saw things like this appearing in cemeteries in the distance! Takeda-kun, you mean..."

Before he finished speaking, Captain Takeda echoed: "That's it! If it catches fire, it's basically impossible to extinguish it. If it sticks to the skin, you can only reluctantly cut off the piece of flesh! The Chinese army doesn't know where to get this weapon. White phosphorus is

Without a high level of scientific research, it is impossible for China's industry to produce a chemical on a large scale, let alone use it on the battlefield!"

After pondering for a while, the commander of the Hisao Tani Division said: "It's too late to investigate now. The top priority is to find out the specific method to deal with this weapon. I wonder what Countermeasures Takeda-kun has?"

Captain Takeda said: "The ignition point of the white phosphorus bomb is too low. Once it adheres to clothes and skin, it can burn violently! You can see how powerful it is by looking at my face! There is currently no solution for this kind of weapon! If you encounter it,

Although this kind of weapon and gas mask can protect you from toxic smoke, once it is contaminated with white phosphorus, you will basically die and become disabled!"

Taking a deep breath, the division commander shouted coldly: "Is there really no solution?"

Captain Takeda nodded and said: "We can hide as far as we can when encountering this kind of weapon, but there are no ways to do it. It's just that according to the current level of the empire's military industry, we don't have the ability to defend against the chemical attack of this kind of weapon!"

With a long sigh, the commander of the Tani Hisao Division said sadly: "It seems that the 88th Division on the opposite side is not simple! In this case, we have no choice but to treat others in their own way!"

Captain Takeda said: "What Tani Hisao means is..."

A sneer appeared on the lips of Division Commander Hisao Tani: "Since they used poison gas bombs, then we will also use poison gas bombs! I have already requested Commander Matsui to allocate a batch of poison gas bombs."

Captain Takeda said: "This poison gas bomb is not easy to use, but even our own soldiers have to be harmed! Besides, when using poison gas, you need to be equipped with a gas mask, considering the wind direction. Currently, our division has a shortage of one-tenth of the gas mask.

, if it is used incorrectly and our own soldiers are poisoned to death, the division commander should think twice!"

Captain Takeda, who was born in the Department of Chemistry, is reasonably worried. Gas bombs are really a double-edged sword.

From a military offensive perspective, poison gas bombs are an efficient killing weapon.

During World War I, the German army took the lead in using a kind of poison gas bomb, and the French positions that used to cost lives could be captured without spending a single soldier.

There is a poisonous gas called mustard gas that is very lethal. If you encounter it, it will be choking even if you wear a gas mask. It is also harmful to exposed skin.

The Sixth Division's gas masks are not fully equipped. Once the wind direction changes during the release of poison gas, the consequences will be disastrous.

Hisao Tani division commander said: "Takeda-kun, there is no need to worry too much. The poisonous gas this time is the famous mustard gas. If we hit Yuhuatai, I think there will still be a few who can resist with guns! By then, our Sixth Division will be able to

Easily take out the Rain Flower Terrace and go straight to the Chinese Gate!"

Captain Takeda asked back: "This is really against the spirit of bushido advocated by the Imperial Army. Does our Imperial Army need to use this method to capture the territory of the Chinese Army?"

Suddenly his face became serious, and the commander of Tani Hisao Division cursed: "Baga! If I ask you to attack Yuhuatai again, can you win it? If we continue the attack, I will have to lose several organic regiments. The 45th Regiment

The team has been crippled, I can’t let the empire’s soldiers suffer any more losses!”

The commander of the Tani Hisao Division also had his own reasons. After attacking the Yuhuatai position for several days, the Chinese Army was able to fight evenly with the Sixth Division.

The 45th Regiment was defeated, and the captain of the 45th Regiment was killed. To make matters worse, overnight, the 88th Division on the opposite side actually dared to attack the Sixth Division's camp at night, destroying eight heavy artillery pieces.

For an elite division, this is a naked provocation!

In any case, Commander Tanihisao Division will have to play hard this time.

The purpose of war is to defeat the opponent, and the means do not need to be calculated too much.

The use of chemical weapons not only caused the Chinese army to quickly lose its combat effectiveness, but the troops under Hisao Tani were able to occupy Yuhuatai without any casualties.

Why not use this method of fighting that is all-profit?

As for the negative impact of poison gas bombs, they can be ignored for the time being.

Victory inherently depends on luck, and Division Commander Tani Hisao is willing to make this bet.

Hisao Tani Division Commander believed that the gas masks of the Imperial Army could withstand the damage of this poisonous gas. As long as the wind direction did not change, great success would be achieved.

Captain Takeda still said: "Your Excellency, division commander, think twice!"

The commander of the Tani Hisao division shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! Recuperate well! You will see the Empire's sun flag planted on the 82nd highland of Yuhuatai this afternoon!"

The field tent of Division Commander Hisao Tani.

A Japanese second lieutenant wearing a gas mask walked in.

The commander of the division, Hisao Asaya, saluted, and the Japs second lieutenant said: "Reporting to the division commander, as per your request, six base number of poison gas bombs have been delivered to the forward position. This is the list of poison gas bombs and the specific usage methods.

"

After taking the list and browsing it, Commander Hisao Tani showed a smile on his face: "Yoshi! Good job! Go down and rest! A chemical bomb attack will be carried out on the Yuhuatai position in two hours."

With both heels together, the Japanese second lieutenant straightened his waist and responded: "Hai! Thank you, Your Excellency, Division Commander!"

The figure of Second Lieutenant Japanese disappeared from the sight of Division Commander Hisao Tani. Division Commander Tani Hisao looked at the list of poison gas bombs and couldn't help but fall into the longing for victory.

The chemical weapon clearly stated on the list is mustard gas.

This is a very horrific chemical weapon.

Without protection during war, poisoned soldiers' eyes and nasal cavities will suffer varying degrees of damage, and in severe cases, vomiting and suffocation may occur.

The Chinese army was not equipped with enough equipment, and there was not enough gas mask for each man. Hisao Tani confidently believed that the defenders of Yuhuatai would have no choice but to shoot themselves!

And Hisao Tani's Sixth Division can easily win Yuhuatai. Although the victory is not glorious, so what!

Although from the perspective of war ethics, this violates the rules of engagement of the Geneva Convention, for the aggressive imperial army, it is a joke, and victory is the most important thing.
