Chapter 284 The Devil Shows His Prestige
"Brimstone bomb!"

"Gas bomb!"

Looking at the clusters of fireballs and strangely colored smoke that burst out not far away.

The regular soldiers in Songjiang City looked panic-stricken.

Especially for the 67th Army who fought against the Japanese army on the North China battlefield, these two types of bombs are not unfamiliar to them.

The so-called "sulphur bomb" is actually the original version of the gasoline bomb, but in addition to the terrible effect of burning, it is also a "chemical weapon" that is banned internationally because of the addition of some chemicals such as white phosphorus.

It's just that the Japanese even took out poison gas bombs, so why do they care about chemical weapons?
Either of these two kinds of bombs falling in the city may cause quite a few casualties.

But it is clear that the Japanese army has limited reserves of this special type of ammunition, and their main focus of attack is Cangcheng and residential areas that make it difficult for them to move.

Looking around, huge fireballs rose from two positions outside the city, accompanied by light green smoke drifting away.

All the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who were still near the city wall were evacuated into various fortifications, and then wet cotton cloth with clean water and covered their mouths and noses.

This most primitive gas mask may still not be able to withstand the attack of poisonous gas, but it is already the most effective method that the Chinese commanders can come up with.

Otherwise, once the poison gas bombs are fired, there will be no way to fight the war.High-end gadgets like gas masks may only be available in the more affluent Central Army.

As soon as these two kinds of special artillery shells were launched by the Japanese army, even Songjiang City, which has a complete fortification defense system, trembled, let alone the two positions that were being ravaged by artillery fire.

Bear the brunt of the Cangcheng position.

Because of Tang Dao's early warning, the soldiers hiding in the underground bomb defense caves left extremely small ventilation holes and covered them with tulle, and the rest of the gaps were firmly blocked with cloth. Forcingly, the light green smog enveloped the entire Cangcheng, but in fact it didn't play a big role.

Moreover, because Cangcheng itself is relatively airtight, after the incendiary bombs constantly bombarded into Cangcheng exploded, the heat waves aroused could not escape, and could only go upward under the action of force. , the poisonous damage to the ground is very little.

It can be seen that the use of these two types of ammunition in special environments has not achieved the effect of one plus one greater than one.

On the contrary, the most harmful thing to the Cangcheng position is the 'brimstone bomb'.

This thing is a super combustion accelerant, and there are a large number of houses in Cangcheng. Although a lot of them were damaged in the previous rounds of shelling, there are still many houses.

Even though there was a small river running through Cangcheng, the Japanese army fired at least a hundred "sulphur bombs" into the area of ​​Cangcheng, almost igniting the entire ground buildings in Cangcheng. The soldiers who were several meters away were sweating profusely.

It was not only hot, but also frightening.

After the gunfire stopped, Tang Dao specially sent someone to go through the exit to have a look at it, but before reaching the main exit, he was forced back by the terrible high temperature.

Fortunately, there were buckets prepared inside, and the soldiers were able to walk out of the exit after wearing wet quilts. Their eyes were full of burning flames, and there were a lot of turbulent waves in the small river that crossed Cangcheng. Belly fish, reach in and take a look. The extremely cold water in November can definitely soak in hot springs.

However, the Japanese army did not start attacking while the shelling was over.

The reason is very simple, not only the sea of ​​flames in Cangcheng, but also the poisonous gas bombs falling outside the city are still floating slowly on the ground without the heat wave bringing the poisonous gas to the sky!

Wearing a gas mask seems to be awesome without fear of poisonous gas, but in fact, that thing will generate a lot of water mist when running, even if there is a device to defog, it will affect the line of sight.

In case there are still Chinese people alive on the ground, why not give the Chinese people a chance to put their backs on their backs before they die!
For the Japanese troops who have already entered the first-line trenches, the best ending is to just sit and wait, the poisonous gas will not kill the Chinese people, and the burning fire can also burn the Chinese people to death, even if they have anti-bunker holes, this is how they roast sweet potatoes Cooked.

The Japanese only came close to succeeding.

If Cangcheng hadn't experienced several shellings and destroyed a lot of houses, the scale of this fire would probably be two or three times larger than it is now.

Well, at least half of the defenders of Cangcheng who were hiding underground were roasted until they were sizzling, and they would definitely be fragrant throughout the city.

Although the current level of burning is painful, it will never completely roast a person.

The Cangcheng defenders escaped a catastrophe because of the sharp Japanese artillery fire.

But the densely populated residential area is not so lucky.

The fire caused by the incendiary bombs made people feel the scorching heat wave from two 300 meters away.

The fires lit by "incendiary bombs" everywhere look like piles of bonfires from the city wall.

If there is no accident, if there is a gust of southeast wind, the layers of residential buildings will become a sea of ​​flames.

However, for the two commanders, this was something they could only wish for.

There are so many houses, if you want to burn them all, you will have to burn them for a day or two!Anyway, the security team inside basically withdrew.

That is, Cangcheng is worrying.

There are still elites from the 67th Army and the 43rd Army. At this time, the two commanders would rather give up the dangerous position of Cangcheng and let Tang Dao and these hundreds of people withdraw.

However, as long as the fire continued to burn, Tang Dao and others could no longer evacuate if they wanted to. The road to the city through the block had become a dead end.

But the Japanese, can you give them this chance?

Naturally it is impossible.

To the south, 800 meters away from Cangcheng, the Japanese army had already begun to build field trenches.

"No matter what, the Chinese in these two positions are dead." Kunisaki stared at everything in front of him with a telescope.

Since Tani Hisao, a titan, can wait for the arrival of the heavy artillery brigade without rushing for success, he can afford to delay that time.

It doesn't take much force to kill these two hateful Chinese troops, which can be regarded as a disguised response to Shigeru Suematsu who put on his shoes.

Perhaps, the Chinese gods saw all this.

So, the most common autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River came.

There is no need for heavy rain. The drizzle in late autumn in the south of the Yangtze River in China can chill people to the bone marrow. Even the people of Heijiang, who live in the extreme north of China all year round, can feel shivering.

How humid is the air far beyond the imagination of northerners?The Japanese who first landed in Jiangnan, China, have gained a lot of knowledge.

It looked like the flames of the burning company were gradually extinguished.

Those gas bombs that Kunisaki had placed high hopes on were even more invisible under the nourishment of the drizzle.

"Baga!" Kunizaki stood in the drizzle, staring dumbfounded at the residential houses with white steam rising continuously.

That means that his dream of roasting the defenders who were too late to run away as sweet potatoes without firing a single shot has come to naught, and he still has to send troops into it.

However, the two types of special ammunition will still play a decisive role. The major general of the Japanese army does not believe how many Chinese people can survive under such cruel conditions.

He only needs to deploy a small number of troops to search, and then send a large army to station, and he can completely occupy this block.

There is nothing wrong with the major general of the Japanese Army having such an idea.

Gas bombs didn't play a big role in Cangcheng, but they were extremely terrifying in the neighborhood with densely packed houses.

The hiding place of the soldiers of the security regiment is basically a simple basement. It may be okay to hide from the explosion shock wave on the ground, but the defense against gas bombs is basically zero.

If it wasn't for the headquarters to immediately withdraw the security team into the city, this round of gas bomb attack alone would have killed and injured more than 60.00%, and the remaining combat effectiveness would have been greatly reduced.

Coupled with the fire, the soldiers who were so scorched by the flames would definitely try to hide in places with waterways. Under such a double blow, there was still a little fighting power there.

After waiting for 20 minutes, an infantry squadron of Japanese troops wearing gas masks could not wait to brave the still steaming heat wave. They were divided into 9 squads and entered the block from various places.

As expected, almost no resistance was encountered.

The 'dark neighborhood', where the Japanese troops from the two divisions were battered, seemed to have become a place of death.
