Seeing Rensuke Isotani roaring like a roaring bull in the headquarters, all the staff officers in the headquarters did not dare to approach him. After a while, Chief of Staff Tsutsumi Tsuki reminded him in a low voice:
"Your Excellency, General, Major General Kei Setani, commander of the 33rd Brigade, reported that the Chinese used a new type of poison gas bomb, which resulted in the annihilation of the 10th Regiment in a short period of time.
Moreover, they have already begun to attack the 63rd Regiment, and we must be prepared to prevent the Chinese from attacking with poison gas again."
Isotani Rensuke clenched his fists and choked with pain: "They... they... how could they..."
Speaking of this, Isotani Rensuke couldn't go on. He knew that this was the Chinese people's revenge on him. Not long ago, the 10th Division used poison gas bombs in Feng County, killing more than 3,000 defenders in Feng County.
Everyone died in battle, and today is the beginning of China's revenge.
There was silence in the headquarters, and all the staff members were silent. Just a few days ago, they were cheering loudly for the poisonous gas released by their side, but now the other side's revenge is coming soon, and it's coming so hard
So sudden, so violent.
A staff officer couldn't help but jumped out and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, division commander, the Chinese are provoking the majesty of our Japanese Empire by doing this, and we will never tolerate it. We will fight back fiercely, and I suggest that you order it immediately
All artillery units are equipped with special ammunition to cover all positions in China, we will let them reap the consequences!"
"Snapped……"
The jumped up staff officer was immediately slapped on the face, and Colonel Tsubuchiaki shouted at him: "You idiot, don't you know that all the Chinese troops are now equipped with gas masks?
Are the poison gas attacks no longer effective on them?"
In the past few days, the 10th Division has launched more than one poison gas attack on the 31st Division, but the effect was really minimal. Later, the Japanese army found gas masks on all the dead Chinese soldiers, and then gave up this futile effort.
way of doing.
Now this stupid staff officer suggested another poison gas attack on the Chinese army. Naturally, he was despised by his colleagues and reprimanded as last time.
Isotani Rensuke took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mind. After a while, he thought of something to say to Colonel Tsutsubu-kun and asked: "tsubu-kun, it stands to reason that the 10th Regiment has also received chemical defense."
Training, why didn't the Chinese take any precautions when they released poisonous gas? Even if it was a large-scale poisoning, they should have survivors. Why couldn't anyone escape? Didn't they even have time to wear gas masks?
"
Colonel Tsubujiagui smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, have you forgotten that at the beginning of this year, the headquarters issued an order to each of our divisions, saying that the Chinese have recently developed a new type of poisonous gas?
Poison gas can poison people through human skin contact, and the order also stated that in order not to anger the Chinese government, we are not allowed to use special bombs at will, so as not to anger the Chinese people."
"hiss……"
Only then did Isotani Rensuke remember that he had received a telegram from the base camp at the beginning of the year. In addition to telling their troops not to release poison gas bombs at will, the telegram also told them that the Yamada detachment had poisoned gas at Yijiangmen in Nanjing.
Later, there was news that the entire army was annihilated.
At that time, after reading the telegram, he just regarded it as a joke and threw the telegram into the trash. He was arrogant and did not believe that backward and barren China could develop such a powerful poison gas. Isoya
At that time, Lian Jie laughed at the base camp for making a fuss out of a molehill, but now it seems that all of this is actually true.
Thinking of this, Isotani Rensuke panicked. Normally, as long as generals at his level didn't make any big mistakes, the base camp wouldn't do anything to them. After all, he could become one of Japan's seventeen standing divisions.
There are only a dozen or so general commanders in all of Japan.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the elite among the elite among all Japanese soldiers. As long as they have not committed any serious crime, the base camp will at most reprimand him, and at most they will transfer him to the reserve force and put him in cold storage.
But the matter of losing the regiment flag was thrown into the sky. No matter what, the base camp had to give an explanation to the emperor.
"No, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"
Just when Isotani Rensuke was about to issue an order, a staff officer stumbled in from outside the door and said with a cry: "Your Excellency, division commander, it's bad, the Chinese have used poison gas on the 63rd Regiment again.
, the people of the 63rd Regiment can no longer be contacted now!"
"What!"
Isoya Rensuke felt a rush of heat surge into his throat, and then a stream of fishy-smelling liquid spewed out from his mouth. Immediately afterwards, the headquarters was filled with the sound of chickens and dogs jumping around.
"Oops, the division commander fainted. Someone come quickly!"
"Medical officer...Medical officer, come here quickly!"
The whole division headquarters was in a state of panic.
When Rensuke Isotani woke up, it was already nightfall. At this time, Rensuke Isotani's face was pale and he looked as if he had aged more than ten years. In front of his bed, there was still Chief of Staff Nagatsumi Bujiaki.
Colonel.
Seeing Isotani Rensuke waking up, Colonel Tsubuta Takaki said in surprise: "Your Excellency, division commander, you are awake. This is great. I will call the medical officer in right away."
"No need." Isotani Rensuke asked feebly: "Tsibushi-kun...where am I?"
"Division commander, we are at the north gate."
Isotani Rensuke was slightly startled, "Why, aren't we in Nanzhuang? Why did we come to the north gate? How is the 63rd Regiment?"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we...we!" Colonel Tebujiagui lowered his head sadly, and said in a voice as low as a mosquito: "Nanzhuang has been lost, and the 63rd Regiment...has also been completely destroyed!
"
"Buzz..."
Isoya Rensuke only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, but this time he miraculously did not pass out again, but tried to calm down and said:
"You... you immediately tell me the details of today's battle. It needs to be detailed!"
"Hai!"
Colonel Tsubukkaki slowly talked about today's battle situation. After the Japanese tenth regiment was wiped out today, Su Rui commanded the 398th and 399th regiments to launch attacks on Nanzhuang and Zhongzhuang where the Japanese were entrenched.
attack.
Li Yifeng, the leader of the 399th Regiment in charge of the attack in Zhongzhuang, was not to be outdone. He fired hundreds of sarin gas bombs at Nanzhuang where the 63rd Regiment was stationed. Half an hour later, when the 39th Regiment
When the Ninth Regiment entered Nanzhuang, it had become a dead place. Li Yifeng commanded the No. 399 Regiment to simply clean the battlefield. Also as expected, the flag of the 63rd Regiment also
It was also captured by the 399th Regiment.
The destruction of two consecutive regiments nearly frightened the 10th Division. It happened to catch up with Rensuke Isotani unconscious at this time. The division's chief of staff, Colonel Cho Tsutsumi Takaki, immediately commanded the division's headquarters.
Zhuang withdrew to the north gate where the 40th Regiment was stationed.
However, the red-eyed Chinese army still had no intention of letting them go. The troops of the two regiments began to march towards the north gate again, trying to drive the Japanese army out of Taierzhuang in one fell swoop.
But for some unknown reason, after a while the Chinese army miraculously stopped attacking. Colonel Tsubuzaki and others, who had put on gas masks and were ready to die, breathed a long sigh of relief.
Isoya Rensuke closed his eyes and asked in pain: "So it's not that you repelled the Chinese attack, but that the Chinese took the initiative to stop attacking?"
Colonel Tsubuta Ki said in a low voice: "Yes, Your Excellency, Division Commander, but we don't know the reason for this. Maybe those Chinese people ran out of gas bombs, so they stopped attacking."
Isotani Rensuke sighed and said: "You are wrong, Tsubu-kun, the Shina people are not exhausted gas bombs, their superiors should have given the order!"
Yes, the only thing that can stop the 300 Brigade, a beast of war that has already started, is an order from the top.
In less than three hours, the news that the 300 Brigade annihilated two Japanese regiments and captured two regiment flags not only shocked the entire fifth theater, but also shocked the Wuhan Military Commission, and even more.
The entire top management of Japan.
Less than an hour after the destruction of the 10th Regiment, Japan's Tokyo base camp received a report from the 10th Division.
Shocked by the news, the headquarters immediately issued an order to Juichi Terauchi, commander of the Japanese North China Front, asking him to immediately contact the Wuhan government of China and ask them to stop this inhumane behavior immediately, otherwise Japan will immediately launch a full-scale bloody revenge against China.
Against this background, Chairman Chiang personally issued an order to the Fifth Theater Command, ordering the Fifth Theater Command to immediately stop this behavior.
It has to be said that the efficiency of the Chinese and Japanese governments was still very high at this time. However, when the orders were passed layer by layer to Suri, the 63rd Regiment followed in the footsteps of the 10th Regiment.
All of them became lonely ghosts in a foreign land.
After receiving a call from Chief Li personally, Su Rui, who had to withdraw his troops angrily, glanced at the north gate unwillingly. If the call had come an hour later, he would have definitely been able to keep Isoya Rensuke.
Come down.
Even Lin Shiqian said angrily: "Taikoo, are we not going to attack? If we take down the north gate again, this old devil, Isotani Rensuke, will be doomed!"
Liang Zhi on the side sighed and said: "We can no longer use gas bombs. We have made a big fuss this time, and there must be some action in Xuzhou."
Liang Zhi was right. On this day, the whole of Xuzhou was in turmoil. Almost all reporters stationed in Xuzhou got the news. That is, the Chinese army released a large amount of poison gas in Taierzhuang today and wiped out two people.
The nearly 6,000 Japanese troops in the regiment also captured two regiment flags. Seeing that the Japanese 10th Division was about to be destroyed, the entire Xuzhou was almost boiling... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels
