The cold wind howled, carrying the humid air of Nanjing, blowing straight towards Su Rui's position. The soldiers of the Independent Battalion, who had fought bloody battles with the enemy for a long time, were already a little tired. At this moment, the Japanese field artillery and the remaining infantry artillery unexpectedly
The bombing began. However, what is strange is that the Japanese artillery bombing was not violent this time. Although artillery shells continued to explode, there was no expected scene of air waves exploding and shrapnel flying everywhere. Instead, there was a scene of
Thick green smoke began to extend in depth in just a few minutes.
Li Yifeng on the side was still wondering at first: "Damn it, what kind of artillery shells did the Japanese shoot!"
But Bai Jingran's face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted loudly: "Gas bomb, it's a poison gas bomb, put on a gas mask quickly!"
After saying that, Bai Jingran took the lead in opening an iron can on his waist, took out a gas mask and put it on. Seeing this, the soldiers and officers around him also followed suit and took out their masks.
Brought it up.
During World War I, in order to break the long-term stalemate on the European battlefield, the German army released Pandora's Box of chemical poisons for the first time. Since then, gas masks, something that can protect the lives of soldiers, have become the standard in European countries.
One of the individual equipment.
In the early 1930s, the Nationalist Government of China also planned to purchase a batch of gas masks from Germany. However, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, due to national financial difficulties, the army sometimes could not even supply bullets normally. How could there be extra money to purchase such masks that were not necessarily used?
What is gained?
Therefore, except for a few elite troops equipped with gas masks, most other troops are not equipped with them.
Fortunately, Su Rui repeatedly saw in later film and television works that the Japanese army used gas bombs to poison Chinese soldiers and civilians in the country, so when distributing equipment to the soldiers, he did not forget to equip each soldier with a gas mask. Now, the soldiers have
He took out the gas mask and put it on.
Not to mention Suri, as early as the first sentence Bai Jingran shouted, he hurriedly took out his mask and put it on.
What Suri distributed to the soldiers were M30 gas masks produced in Germany in the early 1930s. This gas mask was made of two transparent glass lenses and thick canvas, with a rubber connection in the middle, and a pig-like shape in the front.
Nose-like filter tank.
Although this early type of gas mask had better air-tightness, it was not light in weight and was relatively hot. Soon after putting it on, Su Rui felt sweat start to form on his forehead. Even so, he looked at the green sky floating around him.
He also knew that he had to endure the smoke no matter how boring it was.
On the Japanese position in the distance, Colonel Kentaro Murata, captain of the 45th Regiment of the Sixth Division, looked at the green gas spreading everywhere on the national army position in front, with a ferocious smile on his face.
"Damn Chinese people, I'll see how you die this time! Pass my order, all soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Brigade put on gas masks, fix bayonets and prepare to charge!"
During the invasion of China, due to the weak national strength and poor anti-virus capabilities of the national army, the Japanese army had already prepared a variety of poison gas bombs, and their models were also diverse.
But it can be roughly divided into the following categories: 1.
Sneeze gas bomb (red tube)
It appears as a light green solid and can paralyze the oxygen absorption function in the blood, causing people to sneeze and shed tears, and can lead to death in a short period of time.
2.
Tear gas bomb (green tube)
It appears as a light yellow solid and is highly irritating, causing tears, coughing, headaches, and in severe cases, convulsions, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and death.
3．
Destructive gas bomb (yellow tube)
It looks like a brown liquid, and when it touches the skin, it will cause severe pain and blisters within two to three hours; it will cause all internal organs to malfunction through the respiratory tract and lead to death.
4.
Asphyxiating gas bomb (brown cartridge)
It looks like a light brown liquid with a low boiling point and light specific gravity. It can spread in the air in a short period of time and cause people to suffocate.
What the Japanese army launched this time was a sneeze gas bomb, which could make people sneeze and cry, and eventually kill them in a short period of time.
Since the invasion of China, the Japanese army has generally used poison gas bombs as a trump card for positions that are temporarily difficult to conquer, and has achieved great results during this period. Therefore, Colonel Kentaro Murata was very confident when he saw that the poison gas had enveloped the national army positions.
ordered the troops to charge again.
Following Kentaro Murata's order, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers from the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the 45th Regiment slowly moved toward the national army position with rifles mounted on bayonets.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers lined up in an evacuated formation and began to move from a distance of 600 meters. Previously, their attitude was relatively cautious. The formation was spread out and the speed was relatively slow. They moved forward cautiously with guns in hand.
In this way, when they walked until they were two hundred meters away from the national army position, the position opposite was still deathly silent.
Seeing this situation, the Japanese soldiers became bolder, and they gradually increased their speed. But when they came to a distance of a hundred meters, without the commander's instructions, all the Japanese soldiers shouted in unison and started.
Charge at full speed.
"Kill me!"
"The Emperor is on board!"
Groups of Japanese soldiers in tan military uniforms rushed forward at full speed with bayonets in hand. Just when the Japanese soldiers thought they had a chance to win, a clear gunshot suddenly sounded from the front, followed by bursts of bullets like a violent rain from all corners.
It was fired and swept towards the Japanese troops.
Nine MG34 machine guns, four M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns, more than a hundred Garand rifles and dozens of MP38 submachine guns sprayed angry tongues of fire at the Japanese troops in front.
Suri was lying on a pile of rubble, holding an MP38 submachine gun and firing desperately at the Japanese soldiers in front. The angry bullets kept flying forward with the owner's anger.
At this time, Su Rui only felt that his throat was dry. His sour eyes looked through the lenses of the already blurry gas mask and saw the Japanese soldiers in the green smoke twitching and falling like dead snakes. His mood was not at all.
Instead of feeling uncomfortable, there was a surge of indescribable joy.
"Kill...kill these two-legged beasts!"
Su Rui laughed loudly, and the sound sounded particularly dull coming from the sealed gas mask.
It wasn't until there was a "click" sound coming from the barrel of the gun that he released his finger from pulling the trigger.
The corner of his eye was staring at an empty bullet casing that was still shaking on the ground, and blood rushed to his head. Suddenly, Su Rui felt that he actually liked this feeling, this pleasure of killing.
Without thinking, he took out a neat magazine from his waist, put it in the gun in his hand, and pulled the trigger again.
Screaming, he stood up, swung his submachine gun and fired at the climbing Japanese not far away. Suri was a little surprised to hear that his own scream was so weird, like a beast on the verge of death.
Japanese soldiers continued to fall under the chase of bullets. Suri's eyes began to become blurred, and he felt hot tears falling from the corners of his eyes. He began to laugh, and the laughter became louder and louder.
Finally, the submachine gun in his arms lay quietly in his arms after firing the last bullet, and the battlefield gradually became quiet. Suri's finger was still holding the trigger tightly, and his body was pressed against a broken wall behind him.
"Sir Su, Sir Su!"
"Major, Major!"
The voices of Bai Jingran and Li Yifeng seemed to come to Su Rui's ears from nowhere. He shouted for a long time before he came back to his senses. At some point, the gunfire on the position had stopped, and the sound that was originally filling the air had stopped.
The thick green smoke above the position had been blown away by the cold wind. When he saw the faces of Bai Jingran and Li Yifeng, Su Rui realized that his legs were still shaking.
Bai Jingran tapped Suri's mask a few times with his fingers, indicating that he could take off the gas mask.
Suri took off the gas mask with difficulty and took a deep breath, but the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke made her lungs sting and she couldn't help coughing loudly.
"Sir, here it is!" Li Yifeng handed me a kettle.
After two big gulps, Suri finally regained some strength.
"Li Yifeng, have we repelled all the Japanese troops?" Su Rui raised his head and asked.
"Sir, the Japanese have been defeated by us. There are more than a thousand Japanese, but less than a hundred can go back alive. This Japanese brigade has been crippled!" Li Yifeng's words were filled with excitement that could not be concealed.
"Really?" Su Rui couldn't believe it, but in less than a moment, a large group of Japanese soldiers were crippled?
Li Yifeng became anxious when he saw it and said quickly: "It's true. If you don't believe me, ask Chief Bai!"
Suri's eyes turned to Bai Jingran, who nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his usually stern face.
"Captain Li is right. The Japanese didn't expect us to be equipped with gas masks. We were caught off guard. This brigade was severely beaten by us, leaving at least eight or nine hundred corpses. Just look outside and see for yourself.
knew."
Su Rui quietly poked his head out of the position, and what he saw was a dense collection of corpses wearing yellow-brown military uniforms, all lying in a dense pile on the front position. Su Rui looked at the corpses in front of him and could no longer restrain himself.
The joy in my heart made me laugh...
