Ito Masaki kept reporting the number of his casualties. After listening, Matsui Iwane fell into silence.
He knew the combat effectiveness of the 101st Division very well. Although it was not a standing A-level division, but a special division, during the Battle of Songhu, the 101st Regiment of the 101st Division defeated two Chinese infantry divisions head-on.
But just such a unit was defeated by 800 Chinese troops more than ten days later. Matsui Iwane knew that there must be other reasons for this, not just the commander's lack of ability.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Matsui Iwane looked at Ito Masaki, and Ito Masaki looked at Matsui Iwane, and finally seemed to have made up his mind: "I am going to use special ammunition!"
"Special ammunition? Are you crazy? This is Shanghai. Once we are found to be using special ammunition, those Western countries will definitely come over and point fingers. Diplomatic pressure is already very high, and there are already many voices of dissatisfaction in the country!"
"Your Majesty Commander, we can use it secretly at night, so no one will find out!"
"Evening? When do you decide?"
"When you hold a dinner party tonight, I will arrange for Sanbei to use special ammunition to capture the Four Lines Warehouse as soon as possible!"
Matsui Iwane nodded slightly. Tonight is his celebration banquet. He has invited half of the celebrities in Shanghai to attend. As long as he has invited military attachés from various countries in Shanghai, in addition, there are others.
Journalists from various countries.
The celebration banquet was a big one. Basically, the eyes of Shanghainese tonight were focused on the people celebrating the victory. No one would look at what happened at the Sihang Warehouse. It was the best time to use special ammunition.
"Then tonight, be careful, you must control the scope and avoid big problems. If it brings great diplomatic pressure to the country, I may not be able to protect you by then!" After Iwane Matsui finished speaking, he said forcefully
He waved his hand, indicating that Ito Masaki could retreat.
After Ito Masaki heard about it, he understood what the commander meant. He pretended that he had not heard the matter, which made him confident in making a decision. When Ito Masaki returned to the headquarters, a group of trucks soon came outside and delivered a truckload of artillery shells.
Came over.
There was no sign for it. After Ito Masaki took a look at it, he asked the staff officer next to him to give it to Sanbei and said to Sanbei that this was his last chance!
The truck filled with special ammunition drove to a hidden location two kilometers away from the Shihang Warehouse. Sanbei personally received the ammunition. After receiving the command from Ito Masaki, he also understood that this was really his own.
Best opportunity.
There is no country in the world that is so crazy that it would openly use special ammunition in a city. If you do so, you will have to bear a lot of risks, and Sanbei is the person who takes the risk. As long as the matter is exposed, everything will be ruined.
It was his personal reasons. Ito Masaki and Matsui Iwane would not come out to protect him.
"Everyone, please be alert. No one is allowed to enter or exit this place without my order!"
In order to prevent the Chinese army from shelling, the place chosen to store the artillery shells this time was a strong basement. It can be said that Sanbei put all his hopes on these special artillery shells.
On the roof of Sihang Warehouse, Sihang Warehouse is the tallest building in the surroundings. Standing at the top, you can clearly see some of the surrounding scenery. The location of the Japanese headquarters has long been figured out, but Yu Zhiqian never ordered the bombardment and kept pretending. have no idea.
The reason is very simple. An exposed Japanese command can calculate what the Japanese are preparing to do and whether they are preparing to attack based on the entry and exit of people around it and various other things. Therefore, Dai Qiang reported that he was suspected of being a Japanese command. At that time, Yu Zhiqian kept him.
They may not find any big fish after the bombing, and the Japanese will definitely build a command post in another place. It is better to let them stay under their noses, so that they can respond immediately if there is any time.
"Boss, it seems like there are a lot of good things coming from the Japs headquarters. Are you interested in taking a look?"
"I'll be there soon!"
Yu Zhiqian quickly ran to the top of the building. Dai Qiang pointed in a direction. Yu Zhiqian looked over and found a truck parked at the headquarters. After several Japanese officers glanced at the truck, they began to say something. Yu Zhiqian did not See what’s special!”
"I just saw the skull symbol!" Dai Qiang said in a low voice. After Yu Zhiqian heard it, he couldn't help but become serious. The skull symbol in this era represents poison gas bombs, which is what the Japanese call special ammunition.
"Are the Japanese going to attack with gas bombs? They are crazy!"
Yu Zhiqian looked at the ammunition truck in the distance. Although he couldn't believe it, he could understand it when he thought about the crazy things the Japanese had done. After all, this nation is a very crazy nation. In order to achieve the goal, it can be said that play hard.
"If it is a poison gas bomb, then it will explain why there is only one truck transporting ammunition!"
"The Japanese have started moving!"
Soon, it was clearly visible through high-powered telescopes that the Japanese were moving box after box of ammunition from the truck. You could clearly see the skull and crossbones signs on them. It was obvious that these were poison gas bombs.
"No wonder the Japs didn't attack. It turns out they were preparing to use poison gas bombs!" After Yu Zhiqian read it, he handed the telescope to Xie Jinyuan. After Xie Jinyuan read it, he nodded heavily. This is not the first time that Japs have attacked China. Poison gas bombs were used on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that the Japanese would be so frantic that they would use poison gas bombs in downtown Shanghai.
"Do you have many gas masks?" Yu Zhiqian put down his binoculars and looked at Xie Jinyuan.
"Yes, but not a lot!"
"Try to find a way to look for it on the surrounding Japs. Japs generally carry gas masks with them. Generally, Japs with bags should have them in their backpacks. Try to collect as many as possible so that every soldier must have a gas mask in his hand, as well as church brothers. How do we use gas masks? Don’t let the time come when you have one in your hand and you don’t know how to use it!”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes!"
"Boss, do we want to fire two shots at the Japanese to detonate their gas bombs so that they can steal the chicken but lose the rice?"
Staff Liu next to him suddenly spoke. Yu Zhiqian looked at this guy, who was also a clever guy, but shook his head: "By the time we set up the various elements and started firing, the Japanese shells had already been transferred, and the Japanese also knew that we had guns. , If nothing else happens, they will definitely be on guard against us. Even if they are not on guard against us, look at what is over there!"
Not far from the Japs' headquarters, there is a residential area inhabited by a large number of civilians. If the Japs' headquarters is blown up by artillery fire, even if a gas bomb is detonated, the unlucky people will be the people living around.
"Don't worry, the Japanese will definitely not dare to use it openly, and will definitely use it secretly at night. When the time comes, we will let the Japanese know what it means to steal chickens and lose rice, and inform the brothers so that they can take turns to rest.
"yes!"
After knowing the Japanese's next plot, the next thing will be much easier to do. First of all, as Yu Zhiqian said, find enough gas masks first. Japanese individual soldier equipment includes gas masks, but they are rarely used. , generally if you want to use it, you will be reminded.
Some soldiers went out and rummaged through the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. Sure enough, they found gas masks in the backpacks of the Japanese soldiers. They were all the most primitive gas masks. It is better to say that they are gas masks than a filter. Some carbon powder is added inside to provide some filtering properties.
Some soldiers who know how to use gas masks have become popular. They put together gas masks and taught how to wear them. Today's gas masks are not as convenient as they will be in the future. They are a bit like a large welding helmet, but the material is not steel plate.
The Japanese soldiers' ones are slightly lighter and easier to carry, but it will be a bit troublesome to wear them. However, this is related to the life safety of the soldiers. Everyone understands that they do not dare to take it lightly. They are all very studious, and soon almost everyone knows it. Knowing how to carry them, all soldiers were prepared in their minds. The Japanese might use poison gas bombs to attack.
"Everyone has learned to wear gas masks, right?"
"Sir, I learned it!"
"Learned it!"
When a group of soldiers saw Yu Zhiqian, they immediately shouted excitedly. Yu Zhiqian smiled: "The devils use poison gas, and we can't just sit back and wait to die. However, this gas mask is only a side effect. We should not let our bodies be exposed in any way now." Outside, just like you, Shunliu, I’m talking about you, are you cold or not?”
A soldier who looked similar to Wang Baobao's soldier showed two dark arms. How to describe it, he looked like a machine gunner who was shrunk to one size, but he still looked very capable. A soldier who survived on the battlefield. , no one dares to look down upon.
"Sir, I'm not cold. You think I'm thin, but I'm strong, look!" After saying that, he flashed his biceps at Yu Zhiqian.
"I can't tell you still have muscles!" Yu Zhiqian laughed immediately after hearing Shunliu's answer and performance, and then looked at everyone: "Do you know the types of gas bombs used by the Japanese?"
"have no idea!"
"Don't you know? Then I will give you some popular science today! There are many kinds of devil viruses, but they can be roughly divided into two categories. One is the breathing type. If you inhale it, you will feel that you have no strength. This kind Most of them are called nerve gas, which usually paralyzes nerves, but this thing is relatively expensive, and little devils can't afford it."
"There is also contact gas. This kind of gas bomb contains real viruses. It comes from mice or animals. As soon as it comes into contact with the skin, your skin will feel itchy and unbearable. Then you will scratch it, just like this!" Yu Zhiqian said while scratching himself, his legs were still rotating very rhythmically, and there was a happy expression on his face.
"That's it, you scratch, scratch, and then you will slowly scratch the skin on your body, and then these viruses will be transmitted to your body, and finally your whole skin will ulcerate! On your body There is not even a piece of good skin. When the time comes, you will grab my hand and say: Sir, please give me a good time!"
At first, the group of soldiers saw Yu Zhiqian's actions and cooperated with Yu Zhiqian's words. They laughed from ear to ear. But when Yu Zhiqian said the last part, no one could laugh anymore. Yu Zhiqian laughed at this time: "Of course Okay, don't be afraid. This virus is not fatal, as long as you don't expose your skin. But for people like Shunliu who like to show off their muscles, it's hard to say. If Shunliu and you encounter problems by then, If so, everyone must help him, because no one can bear that kind of pain!"
After listening to Yu Zhiqian's words, Shunliu first put down his sleeves, and then lowered his head and said nothing. At this time, a soldier raised his hand: "Sir, our body will not leak, but our hands What should we do? We don’t have gloves!”
This is indeed a problem. In the Kuomintang army, gloves are not standard equipment. Only officers of a certain level will be issued white gloves, which are the ones often seen in TV dramas.
"Thank you, Commander, do you have any needle and thread?"
"have!"
"Which of you knows how to sew?"
A group of soldiers looked at each other. As a big boss, no one really knows how to do needlework. This era belongs to an era where men are superior to women. Women do such things as needlework. If among this group of people, There are several girls, and I guess they all know how to do it.
"Sir, I know how to sew pants, does that count?"
A soldier raised his hand. Yu Zhiqian smiled after hearing this. Of course, forget it. It is not difficult to rest assured. Anyone who can thread a needle or sew can raise his hand. Don't be afraid of being attacked. Ridicule, whoever wants to laugh at you, don’t give them the gloves you made later!”
"I!"
"I!"
"I!"
In the end, among the more than 300 Chinese defenders, about a dozen soldiers were found who could sew. These big-headed soldiers had fingers much thicker than needles. It was not easy to find some who could sew.
"The rest of you, except those who are resting, go outside and pick up some Japs' clothes for me. I want the Japs' military uniforms. I don't want the ones inside. Then Dai Qiang and Mao Sanbai, please be careful upstairs and don't give them." The devils are attacking us!"
"receive!"
A group of soldiers immediately started busy according to Yu Zhiqian's order, and Yu Zhiqian gathered the needleworkers, found a piece of cloth, and then drew a shape like a person's palm on it, which was a little larger than the average palm. Then cut it off, two pieces in total, and handed it to one of the soldiers: "You sew it along this edge, but don't sew it down here!"
"okay!"
The soldier quickly started busy with the needle, and soon a very ugly simple glove was made.
