He raised his telescope with both hands and observed the Yuhuatai position opposite. A sinister sneer appeared on the face of Division Commander Tani Hisao.

After being hit by a poison gas bomb, the Yuhuatai position has been shrouded in a yellow-green smoke.

This batch of poison gas bombs was newly developed by the Imperial Nagoya Chemical Factory. It is extremely toxic. It is estimated that few of the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side will be able to handle a gun.

It seems that this afternoon, the Sixth Division will be able to complete the battle goal of capturing the entrance to Zhonghua Gate.

Next, the battle mission of the Sixth Division was very simple, which was to rush to the Yuhuatai position with a bayonet, hit the Chinese soldiers who were still breathing, and then plant the imperial rising sun flag on the commanding heights of Yuhuatai.

This task is so simple that it's almost unchallenging.

The commander of the division, Hisao Tani, believed that several of his regiment commanders would definitely compete for this combat mission.

However, in order to take care of his nephew, Hisao Tani's division intentionally left this good job to Colonel Nagasawa of the 47th Regiment.

Looking at the yellow-green smoke of Yuhuatai, the commander of the Division Hisao Tani gave a stern order: "Nagazawa-kun, I order you to lead two squadrons of warriors to take down Yuhuatai before 18 o'clock."

The commander of the division, Hisao Asaya, stood at attention, and Colonel Nagasawa raised his voice and responded: "Hai! I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the division commander!"

However, at this time, the captains of several other regiments suddenly had an idea.

After being attacked by poison gas bombs, there was a 100% chance that the Chinese army had lost its combat effectiveness. It was almost no difficulty to lead troops to capture Yuhuatai.

In the past few days, several other regiments have suffered greatly in the Yuhuatai position and lost many men and horses.

However, when Colonel Nagasawa first arrived, he took such an easy combat mission, which aroused the dissatisfaction of several other colonels.

A colonel named Yoshizawa said: "Division commander, do I have any objections?"

His face suddenly darkened, and the commander of the division, Hisao Tani, said: "Yoshizawa-kun, what do you think? Do you not believe in Nagazawa-kun's ability or do you question the hiring standards of the division commander?"

Hisao Asaya's division straightened its back, and Colonel Yoshizawa shouted: "Subordinates don't dare! Nagasawa-kun is young and promising, a young officer who just graduated from the Imperial Army University, and the command level of the division commander is definitely the highest in Shanghai.

It is understandable that the dispatched army is one of the best, but I think the division commander's dispatch is unfair."

Raising his eyebrows, the commander of the division, Hisao Tani, asked, "Tell me why it's unfair."

Colonel Yoshizawa said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, our Yoshizawa United Team also wants this combat mission. Why can the newly arrived Nagasawa United Team be able to carry out the task of leading the charge, but my Yoshizawa United Team cannot!"

Several other commanders also agreed: "That's right! Your Excellency, the division commander, please make a new decision!"

A smile appeared on his face, and the commander of Tani Hisao Division pondered: "That's it! You are all veteran officers who have been fighting for several months. You came from Hangzhou Bay and have made many military exploits. And Nagasawa-kun

They just came out of the military academy to lead the troops. You seniors can't give young people a chance! There are many battles in this battle! There are many opportunities to make contributions! After fighting Nanjing, our Sixth Division will continue to fight Wuhan and Changsha.

, fight against Hengyang, or even against Chongqing, you are still too short-sighted! You will fight the future battles. Is it interesting to fight for an almost easy task? "

After hearing what Commander Hisao Tani told me, the commanders felt that it made sense. This combat mission would be easier for Nagasawa.

There is no way, why is Colonel Nagasawa the nephew of the commander of Hisao Tani Division!

They all straightened their backs and several commanders shouted in unison: "Hai!"

With a slight nod, the commander of Hisao Tani Division shouted: "Colonel Yoshizawa!"

Colonel Yoshizawa responded: "Hai!"

Hisao Tani division commander said: "I order you to serve as the second echelon of Nagasawa United. If anything happens, reinforce Nagasawa United at any time!"

According to intelligence, the 88th Division is still equipped with gas masks. Although not every soldier is equipped with one, you still have to be careful about using Wannian Ship.

With both heels together, Colonel Yoshizawa responded: "Hai! Please rest assured, division commander, I will definitely provide reinforcements in time."

Walking in front of Colonel Nagasawa, Hisao Tani's voice clearly showed the love of his elders for his juniors: "Ichiro, the battlefield is unpredictable. Although we have used poison gas on the Chinese Army's positions, we still have to be careful of the Chinese Army's firepower.

!”

The commander of the division, Hisao Asaya, nodded, and Colonel Nagasawa called out: "Uncle, please rest assured, Ichiro will not let you down."

The commander of the division, Hisao Tani, nodded.

By taking down the Rain Flower Terrace, Nagasawa Ichiro can make meritorious service and gild his military experience. This is exactly the selfish intention of Division Commander Hisao Tani.

Training young officers is only a formal reason, and promoting one's relatives is the real purpose.

1,000 meters in front of the Yuhuatai position.

With his sword slashed forward, Colonel Nagasawa, wearing a gas mask on his head, shouted at the top of his voice: "Warriors of the Empire, attack me!"

Spreading out a scattered line of skirmishers, the soldiers of the Nagasawa Regiment, also wearing uniform gas masks, began to advance towards the Yuhuatai position with bright bayonets!

The goal of Nagasawa United is very simple, that is, last hit, last hit, last hit.

Perhaps for real soldiers, this kind of unchallenging combat mission is meaningless and even unfair.

But Colonel Nagasawa liked this mission because he could use the blood of Chinese soldiers to give himself a chance to be promoted.

Prepare the first regiment position at Yuhuatai.

The soldiers in the first group of preparations were basically able to put on gas masks in time to protect against the poison gas as soon as the poison gas bombs struck.

However, some recruits had not received systematic training on the use of gas masks. In desperation, they failed to put on gas masks in time, and seven or eight recruits were unfortunately poisoned and died.

This is the result of lack of training. Without scientific training, no matter how good the equipment is, it is useless.

Isn't there a saying that says so?

The best swordsman is not because the swordsman has a good sword, but because the swordsman who uses the sword is a good swordsman.

Liang Shanhao carried the body of a recruit who was foaming at the mouth and had bulging eyes into the shell-proof hole and put it away: "Hey! First Battalion Commander, what did you do? I didn't tell you repeatedly to teach the recruits to wear gas masks. Look at it.

?”

With a mournful face, the first battalion commander said: "Regimental leader, I know this soldier. I have personally taught him several times, but he still doesn't know how. It's not my fault! After all, the quality of our recruits is really poor!"

Look at how smart those college students who just came in are!"

With a frown, Captain Liang asked: "What happened to those male classmates? I didn't pay attention to them for a while!"

The first battalion commander laughed and said: "What could happen? Those college students are so smart. They actually know how to use diapers to resist poison. They seem to have some brains."

Nodding, Liang Shanhao said: "First battalion commander, if you start fighting with the Japanese later, you have to watch carefully and don't let them hit dangerous places. They are college students, they are all talented people, and they are very valuable!"

The first battalion commander smiled and said: "Don't worry, regiment! I gave them the task of carrying ammunition, they are safe!"

At this time, Wang Daniu, carrying an MP40 submachine gun, ran towards this side.

Liang Shanhao asked in a low voice: "Have Yue Xiaoyang and the other three girls gone back?"

Wang Daniu nodded hastily and said: "Tuanzu, don't worry! I specially sent four soldiers to protect them!"

With a look of relief on his face, Liang Shanhao shouted sternly: "Okay! It's time for the Japs to come up too. First battalion commander, give the order to go down and prepare to catch fish!"
Chapter completed!
