Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 837 Gap
This time Yuta Takemura didn't hesitate, he immediately fired a few "special shells" at the Eighth Route Army's attacking surface.

Unlike the last time when he fired fifteen "special shells" in one go, this time Yuta Takemura only fired five.

On the one hand, this is because there are not many "special shells" in stock, and Yuta Takemura thinks that they should be used sparingly, especially since he doesn't know how long the Eighth Route Army's offensive will last, so he has to make some plans for the future.

On the other hand, Yuta Takemura believes that gas bombs are more of a psychological warfare, which can affect the morale of the enemy. At the same time, it can also create several gaps in the enemy's offensive surface, and cooperate with the firepower and defensive offensive of the imperial army. Blocking the enemy's offensive is no problem at all.

But soon, Yuta Takemura discovered that this was not the case.

Although the daunting yellow smoke of "special artillery shells" rose on the battlefield again, the offensive formation of the Eighth Route Army did not fluctuate because of this. They still used a strange formation under the cover of mortars ([-] small artillery) The form (three-three system) attacks the position, sometimes conceals and sometimes leaps forward, seemingly chaotic but orderly.

If it wasn't for the occasional person falling down under the yellow smoke, Takemura Yuta wondered if the Eighth Route Army's method of covering his mouth and nose with a towel worked.

What Yuta Takemura didn't know was that Zhang Dabiao was also under a lot of pressure.

Zhang Dabiao rushed in the middle of the team in this battle, although this was not allowed by the superiors... battalion-level commanders should command from the rear instead of rushing to the front, and commanders below the battalion must rush to the forefront.

But Zhang Dabiao believed that under such circumstances, if he, the battalion commander, did not step up, the troops might not be able to stabilize their position.

As the saying goes, "the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds", and the Eighth Route Army is no exception.

If Zhang Dabiao didn't make it, there would always be some soldiers who would think: "The words of the battalion commander are just nice to hear. We rush to the front and he commands from the back. Of course, he said it lightly!"

Usually the battle is fine, but if someone escapes under control when facing the gas bomb, it will soon cause a collective panic. Then how can Zhang Dabiao go back to see the regiment leader? !

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao didn't care about any discipline or irregularity. He had already thought about it. If the regiment leader asked, he would say: "As the regiment leader, don't you always go to the battlefield and rush to the forefront? The regiment leader can Why can't my battalion commander do it?"

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao not only stepped onto the battlefield, but also stood in the most dangerous position: in the middle of the team, which is the best position for devils to throw poison gas bombs.

However, this time the devils changed their tactics, and they dropped the gas bombs at the front of the attacking team... Zhang Dabiao thought that maybe the devils wanted to use these gas bombs to scare off the Eighth Route Army and prevent them from continuing to attack.

Because throwing the gas bombs at the front means that if the main force of the Eighth Route Army who follows behind wants to attack, they have to pass through the gas control area, which means either death or injury, especially the eyes...the eyes cannot be covered Yes, unless you close your eyes, but closing your eyes on the battlefield is almost equal to courting death.

(Note: The painter in World War I was blinded by mustard gas poisoning on the battlefield, and it took a long time to recover)

Because of this, Zhang Dabiao's tactics before the battle lost their effect... If only the front half attacked and the middle and rear all retreated, it would not have much impact on the devil's position.

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao could only grit his teeth and shout: "Continue to attack!"

however……

To continue to attack is to bear the pressure of continuing to attack.

Although the devils only fired five poison gas bombs, these five gas bombs were relatively evenly distributed in front of the Eighth Route Army's assault front, and the poisonous gas that came out was blown by the wind, and soon formed a poisonous gas belt.

At this time, there are thousands of people in a battalion of the Independent Regiment. If all of them rushed up like this, even if they were only injured or affected by a little bit of poisonous gas, even if they could win the devil's position, there would be too many soldiers who would be affected after the battle.

But Zhang Dabiao gritted his teeth and endured, and continued to command the troops to charge forward.

Because Zhang Dabiao knew that this battle might determine the fate of the Independence Regiment, the fate of Yuncheng, and even the fate of the Eighth Route Army.

the reason is simple.

If the devils are not repelled in this battle, the devils can use mortars to send poison gas bombs directly into Yuncheng.

As a result, Yuncheng could not be defended, the people had to evacuate, and the independent regiment became a river without a source and a tree without roots, so naturally it could not defend Yuncheng.Once Yuncheng was lost, the Eighth Route Army lost its military industrial base.

Therefore, this battle cannot be lost or retreated.

You can only move forward and not retreat, no matter how heavy the casualties are, you will not hesitate.

Zhang Dabiao said silently in his heart: "I'm sorry, comrades! I, Zhang Dabiao, are the first!"

As he said that, he took the lead to rush to the poisonous smoke control area...

Suddenly, Zhang Dabiao was thrown to the ground by a guard.

Zhang Dabiao took a closer look and saw that it was Gu Haisheng who he had brought with him since the Long March.

Zhang Dabiao suddenly became angry for no reason, struggling and shouting: "What the hell are you doing, let go! Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

Gu Haisheng only took one look at Zhang Dabiao, and said, "Battle Commander, you and the soldiers wait a moment!"

Said "teng" and rushed forward, took off his cotton coat while rushing, quickly ran to the gas bomb, covered it with the cotton coat, hugged it, and ran downwind...

Gu Haisheng held his breath the whole time.

Gu Haisheng understood that he was so close to the gas bomb, as long as he opened his mouth to breathe, the high-concentration gas bomb would enter his internal organs along the esophagus and corrode them, and then he couldn't do anything.

But the poisonous gas still made his eyes burn and hurt, his vision became more and more blurred, and he couldn't see anything after a while.

Gu Haisheng did not give up, relying on the impression and the "beep" sound from the gas bomb, he then found the position of the second bomb, and then he lay down on the gas bomb with his body and the bomb, and used up the last gas bomb before losing consciousness. With all his strength, he picked up a few piles of soil from the side and covered it...

Zhang Dabiao finally understood why Gu Haisheng threw him down, and why he asked him to wait.

Gu Haisheng did the right thing. He removed one gas bomb, the most dominant gas bomb, and then lay on top of the second gas bomb to weaken its release.

As soon as the evening wind blew, a gap appeared in the poison gas control line, a gap that could allow troops to pass through, a gap that Gu Haisheng used his life to open for the soldiers.

Zhang Dabiao took a look at the place where Gu Haisheng fell, he didn't have time to check and he wasn't allowed to check.

Zhang Dabiao could only shout at the soldiers around him: "Comrades, go! Cut down all the devils!"

"Come on!" The soldiers shouted, pouring into the devil's position from the gap like a tide.
