Chapter 454 Commander, something big happened on the battlefield
The First Battalion of the Independent Regiment attacked the position. When Huang Yu arrived, the artillery bombardment was nearing its end. Under the cover of artillery fire, the attacking troops also reached the vicinity of the Japanese blocking position and were ready to go.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang, aren't you at the headquarters? Why are you here at the front line?" Looking at Huang Yu who suddenly appeared in front of him, Shen Quan was startled and asked quickly.
"The Japs' reaction on the battlefield was a bit abnormal. They also had fifty or sixty artillery pieces...but we were the ones firing the artillery throughout the whole battle. Don't you think this is different from their character of retribution?"
Shen Quan immediately asked: "You mean the little devil is planning some conspiracy that we don't know about!"
Huang Yu nodded and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
"The next attack on you must be cautious...if you find something is wrong, withdraw the attacking troops!"
"Now the artillery advantage is in our hands. If the first attack fails to achieve the goal, we can attack a second time. If the second attack fails, we can attack a third time!"
"But we only have so many troops left, and we must not suffer too many losses!"
"Otherwise, no matter how much artillery superiority the independent regiment has, they will not be able to severely damage the Sato division!"
"I will also keep an eye on the battlefield!"
"When you find something is wrong, you will shoot three red flares in the sky!"
"I don't care what the attacking troops were doing at the time or what big fish they caught. They must retreat when they see three signal flares. There can be no delay for one second!"
After saying that, Huang Yu walked out of the offensive position with a submachine gun and went straight to the battlefield.
This place is too far away from the front line. If you want to find out the conspiracy of Sato Division in time, you must be as close to the battlefield as possible. It would be better if you can see every move of the Japanese army!
Dozens of special forces teams followed closely behind, with Huang Yu as the center, forming two battle formations to protect Huang Yu's safety anytime and anywhere...
"Battal Commander... our offensive artillery fire has stopped!" Duan Peng reminded Huang Yu as he jogged two steps to catch up.
"Let comrades be more alert..." Huang Yu ordered seriously: "I feel that the little devil is about to take action!"
“Dong dong dong… da da da…”
As soon as he finished speaking, intensive firefights came from the Japanese blocking position, and the assault speed of the attacking troops instantly slowed down.
Because the attacking troops behind had not received the news, they still maintained the original attacking speed and continued to advance...
The originally sparse offensive formation slowly began to become denser...
This is a situation that occurs in all attacks, and Huang Yu didn't see any problems.
As long as the grenades accompanying the team's attack join the battle in time and cooperate with the rear mortars to quickly knock out the fire points on the blocking position, the attack speed can be restored to its original state.
The attacking troops can also take the opportunity to enter the Japanese camp...
But at this moment, the attacking troops became chaotic. Many soldiers looked as if they had been frightened and lost their souls. They covered their mouths and noses, ignoring the rain of bullets flying around them, and ran around among the attacking troops...
After running a few steps, he fell to the ground. I don’t know whether he was hit by a bullet or for other reasons...
If only one or two soldiers did this, it might be an accident...
At a glance, at least fifty soldiers directly in front were in chaos. They covered their noses and tried to escape from the battlefield, but they only ran a few steps before falling to the ground...
Some soldiers have fallen to the ground, still covering their mouths and noses, struggling in pain...
"No...it's poison gas bombs...the little Japs will fire gas bombs at the attacking troops again..." Huang Yu's face was quickly replaced by panic, and he shouted anxiously!
"Hurry up and shoot three red flares in the sky... All attacking troops must retreat..."
"Contact the artillery immediately, find the Japanese artillery position as quickly as possible, and destroy it at all costs..."
Three red signal flares quickly took off, but the attacking troops in front of Huang Yu had been hit by five rounds of poison gas bombs, and the rapidly spreading poisonous gas had already enveloped more than half of the attacking troops.
As a new round of poison gas bombs fell, the yellow poison gas continued to spread to the surrounding area.
If the three red flares hadn't been launched in time and the remaining soldiers of the attacking force had not retreated in time, they would have been shrouded in poisonous gas.
Shen Quan was so far away from the attacking troops that he didn't realize something was wrong with the attacking troops until three red flares were launched into the sky.
Quickly arrange for troops directly under the battalion to respond...
Then I saw more than a hundred soldiers helping the wounded back. Many soldiers even withdrew to the offensive position, still with expressions of shock and panic on their faces...
At the enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie only knew that something happened on the battlefield when he saw the red signal flare, but he did not know what happened there.
It was too dark, and the headquarters was far away from the battlefield, so he could only see an outline. It wasn't until Zhang Xuelin rushed in with a panic on his face that he realized that something big had happened on the battlefield!
"Regiment Commander, Deputy Chief of Staff Huang reported... The Japanese used poison gas bombs on a large scale on the battlefield..."
"All attacking troops were attacked by poison gas bombs..."
"Most of the soldiers have not withdrawn. The attacking troops suffered heavy losses. We have contacted the heavy artillery battalion to carry out artillery counterattack and destroy the Japanese artillery positions at all costs..."
Kong Jie suddenly dropped the telescope in his hand to the ground, strode up to Zhang Xuelin, and asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Poison gas bombs...you said the Japanese used poison gas bombs against us..."
Zhang Xuelin replied with a heavy face: "That's what the telegram said!"
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang will definitely not joke with us about such a big matter!"
Hearing this, Kong Jie was so frightened that he almost lost his balance.
When he returned to the observation port, he clenched his fists and ordered: "All attacking troops should retreat one kilometer..."
"The reconnaissance company has stepped up its vigilance and is keeping an eye on the Japanese camp. If there is any situation, report it immediately!"
"The heavy artillery battalion immediately carries out the order of Deputy Chief of Staff Huang and counterattacks the Japanese artillery positions!"
"The field hospital immediately dispatched all doctors to the attacking troops to rescue the wounded. The speed must be fast..."
"There is one last order: let Huang Yu return to the regiment headquarters immediately..."
On the high ground next to the Japanese military headquarters, the expression on Sato's face was very complicated, including happiness, relief, and disappointment...
The chief of staff looked excited and said excitedly before the battle was over: "Division commander, in this battle just now, we killed at least 1,300 people from the independent regiment!"
"If we include the injured people they rescued, there will be more than 1,500 people!"
Lieutenant General Sato stared at the battlefield and replied: "The independent regiment responded too quickly..."
"If it weren't for those three red flares... all the two thousand people they attacked would have stayed on the battlefield..."
"Order the troops to strengthen their alert and move the artillery immediately... to prevent the independent regiment from retaliating against us!"
"After all, the advantage of artillery fire is still in their hands. If you can't fight them desperately in the next battle, don't fight hard... try to use poison gas bombs to consume their troops!"
