With the arrival of reinforcements.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Northwest Army of the 31st Division were also greatly encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted. Together with the reinforcements of the Tiger Regiment, they launched an unprecedented fierce counterattack against the Japanese.

Everyone strives for the first place and fights with their lives!

Especially the first and second battalions of Huben Camp, the two new forces, with the assistance of the magic gun company, killed the Japanese and injured everywhere and were defeated!

In the end, the Japanese offensive was completely disintegrated and failed!

After leaving behind corpses all over the ground, they fled back in panic.

"Run! Kill!"

"Kill these little Japanese devils and avenge those tragic brothers!"

The soldiers of the Northwest Army of the 31st Division were about to pursue them.

Seeing this, Bi Yuntao and Fan Tietou hurriedly pulled their necks and stopped them loudly: "Don't chase the enemy, be careful of the revenge bombardment of the Japanese!"

"hurricane!"

"Hurricane Hurricane!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the sound of wind breaking through the sky with shells tearing the air.

Seeing this, everyone immediately turned around and hid in the nearby fortifications.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The next moment, high-explosive grenades fell down fiercely, and the entire frontier position of the 31st Division was immediately blown into a sea of ​​fire.

The bodies of many soldiers from both sides of the enemy and us were destroyed again and were blown into the sky under the fire of the Japanese, turning into piles of broken limbs and broken arms.

There were also some soldiers from the 31st Division and the Tiger Regiment who were unfortunately at the near the landing point of the shells and were either bombed or killed or injured.

The artillery battalion, which was not willing to fall behind, also launched a retaliatory firefight against the Japanese's defeated army and the Japanese's field artillery positions as soon as possible.

...

Inside the Japanese Joint Command.

A Japanese liaison officer hurriedly ran in from outside and reported to two old Japanese gangs, Risuke Isotani and Kenji Doihara who were waiting for news.

"Two division commanders, the big thing is not good, the Imperial Army's attack failed!"

Isotani Ryosuke was furious at first, then roared with dissatisfaction: "Baga! Didn't you say before that the Imperial Army's attacking troops had already attacked the positions of the Chinese army? Why did the situation be reversed so quickly?"

Although Kenji Doihara did not speak, he stared at the second lieutenant of the Japanese who came to report.

The lieutenant liaison officer lowered his head and reported: "His division commander! According to General Sereta, who is responsible for commanding the battle on the front line, the imperial army's attacking troops had already captured the defending positions outside the north city of Taierzhuang and were about to enter Taierzhuang.

And at this moment, a reinforcement army suddenly came out of the city.

These Chinese armies are not only equipped with a large number of automatic weapons such as submachine guns, but their combat effectiveness of hand-to-hand combat is also far stronger than ordinary Chinese armies!

Moreover, these Chinese troops were very insidious and cunning. When they were fighting with the Imperial Army, they actually deployed a large team of sharpshooters to shoot cold guns behind them.

So the Imperial Army's offensive troops lost to their opponents in hand-to-hand combat, and then they were defeated!"

"It must be the Tiger Ben! Only this unit can defeat the Imperial Army in hand-to-hand combat, and only Yang Jing will do everything he can and use such insidious and despicable means in hand-to-hand combat!" Jigu Lianjie gritted his teeth with hatred: "Hmph, order the artillery corps to continue shelling and blow up these damn Chinese people!"

"Hayi!"

The second lieutenant of the Japanese bowed his head and then turned around and left quickly.

After he left, the chief of staff of the 10th Division, Hibuki, comforted Jigu Rensuke, and said: "Your division commander, don't be angry, once Deputy Chief of Staff Muto's surprise attack plan is successful.

The entire Xuzhou will be attacked from both sides, and by then, this Tiger Ben Group will inevitably have wings to escape.

It’s only a matter of time to be eliminated by the Imperial Army!”

"Yes." Jigu Lianjie nodded, his face relaxed a little, and continued: "Even so, we cannot be careless. We must continue to increase the offensive efforts so that the Taierzhuang defenders have no time to clone him.

It’s best to bite them so they don’t even have a chance to retreat!”

After thinking about it, Dibujiagui came up with a bad idea and said, "Your Excellency, you actually have a very labor-saving way to deal with the enemy guarding Taierzhuang."

"Oh?" Isotani Ryosuke asked subconsciously: "What's the solution?"

A vicious look appeared in Dibugugui's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Using poisonous gas bombs can definitely catch the Chinese army off guard! Maybe we can still occupy Taierzhuang in advance because of this!

Take down this extraordinary military achievements of completely annihilated the Chinese army's Tiger Ben, and get rid of this important problem for the Imperial Army and His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Yo Xi!" Isotani Rika looked happy and wanted to fulfill his promise.

Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, the commander of the 14th Division, who had not spoken aside, shook his head and said, "According to information, the 6th Division of the Imperial Army and the 16th Division, which had fought with the Tiger Regiment, had almost used poison gas bombs on the Songjiang battlefield and the Kunshan battlefield.

You all know the result. Neither the 6th Division of the Imperial Army nor the 16th Division of the Imperial Army, they did not achieve the desired results!

Therefore, I believe that these Chinese troops have been prepared for the Imperial Army's poison gas bombs, and may even be equipped with gas masks!"

Using poison gas bombs, he was still defeated in the end. This is an extremely shameful thing for the 6th Division or the 16th Division.

Therefore, Tanisuo and Nakajima Ashigo both tacitly chose to remain silent on this matter.

So many senior Japanese military officials, including Isotani Ryosuke, Tsubuki, etc., do not know much about this matter.

Kenji Doihara was once the third generation of Japanese spy chief engaged in espionage activities in China, establishing the pseudo-Manchukuo Kingdom and planning the "North China Autonomy".

Although he has resigned as a spy, he still has his own channel of news.

Of course, information about intelligence is much more informed than the two outsiders, Risuke Isotani and Fubuji.

After hearing this, he said sinisterly: "General Doihara, the Tiger Ben is equipped with gas masks, which does not mean that other Chinese troops in Taierzhuang area also have them!

According to the information sent back from the Special High School just now, the one stationed in Taierzhuang and the 2nd Army of Sun Fanglu should have been fighting with the Imperial Army.

Although this unit has good combat effectiveness, it is not the direct lineage of Chiang's Central Army.

Instead, Feng Huanzhang's former Northwest Army was born, so it was absolutely impossible to be equipped with a gas mask.

We can definitely catch them off guard by using poison gas bombs.

If we take a step back, even if it doesn’t work, we will just lose some poisonous gas bombs.”

"Yo Xi!" Jigu Liansuke couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Kenji Dohihara on the side and said, "Mr. Dohihara, I wonder what you are thinking?"

Kene Doihara thought for a while and said, "Tibujun's plan is not impossible to try!

However, my department came in a hurry and did not carry any toxic gas bombs."

"Hahaha!" Isotani Ryosuke smiled: "Mr. Doihara, although your 14th Division does not carry poison gas bombs, my 10th Division has it!

Our two divisions and divisions will be able to capture Taierzhuang in one fell swoop, and then annihilate Yang Jing and his Tiger Ben, and make this unparalleled warfare together!"

Kenji Doihara narrowed his eyes and said, "Isotani, in order to achieve unexpected results, I suggest that we mix the poison gas bomb with conventional shells!"

"Yo Xi! This plan is very wonderful!

If Taierzhuang is captured in one battle, Doihara Jun will be the first achievement of the 14th Division of the Imperial Army!" Isotani Ryosuke was overjoyed, and he understood the first time he was accused of being humble and refusal.

"No, no, no! This achievement must be from Isogaki Jun, your Imperial Army's 10th Division! After all, without the heroic battle of your Imperial Army's 10th Division, it would be impossible to lure Yang Jing's Tiger Regiment to Teng County and even Taierzhuang!

For this reason, the 10th Division of the Imperial Army even paid the price of heavy casualties!" Kenji Doihara also shirked the responsibility. After all, in this joint battle, Risuke Isotani was the commander-in-chief of the front army appointed by the Front Command.

"Hahaha!"

The two old foxes looked at each other and showed unconcealed smug smiles.

Then, because the proposal was proposed by Dibujiagui, he gave the full authority to arrange the matter.

…………

The picture is brought back to the 31st Division's position.

After repelling the attack of the Japanese, the division commander Chi Fengcheng personally came to thank Bi Yuntao and Fan Tietou who were leading the team to help: "Battlefield Commander Bi, Battalion Commander Fan, thank you for leading the troops to come to reinforce in time!"

Bi Yuntao quickly stood up and saluted: "Chief Chi, you are polite. We are all Chinese. Soldiers are fighting for the country and the people, regardless of each other!"

"I think your unit has suffered a lot of casualties. If you don't let your unit take over your unit's defense, Chief Chi will take the troops to the rear for a rest. What do you think?"

Chi Fengcheng politely rejected Bi Yuntao's kindness and said, "Thank you, Battalion Commander Bi, for your commander Yang has ordered to go up to the peak, but he is still unwilling to retreat.

Chi was ordered to stay in Taierzhuang. The battle had just begun, so how could he retreat without authorization?"

Biyuntao nodded to express his understanding.

The 31st Division defended Taierzhuang under the orders of the War Zone Chief. Without orders, no one of them could retreat without authorization.

Therefore, even if Chi Fengcheng wants to lead his troops to retreat to the rear for a rest, he dare not act without permission. He must have the order from the War Zone Chief Officer.

So Bi Yuntao and Fan Tietou handed over the position to the 31st Division, and led their troops to withdraw the Hu Ben Regiment's own defense zone and reported to Yang Jing, the regiment leader.

However, not long after Bi Yuntao and Fan Tietou and others withdrew, the Japanese used poison gas bombs to launch artillery bombs on the positions of the 31st Division.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

After a mixed bombing, the field defense position of the 31st Division was suddenly shrouded in flames, smoke, and poisonous fog.

The soldiers of the 31st Division were all from the Northwest Army and had never been exposed to poison gas bombs at all.
