My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 309
The fighter planes in the sky were still harassing the main positions of the Third Division from time to time, but Li Jie arranged the anti-aircraft artillery positions in a well-proportioned manner, and the little devil didn't have many opportunities.

The entire anti-aircraft shooting range almost covers the main position and most of the artillery positions. No matter which direction they come from, they will be fired by at least two anti-aircraft guns and several heavy machine guns.

Each Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun group carried a half base, a full 300 rounds of shells, and there were countless bullets for heavy machine guns. Liao Mingyu had already made sufficient preparations before the war, enough to deal with a high-intensity battle.

Under this hedgehog-like air defense system, only a few Japanese pilots dared to break through the fire blockade with excellent flying skills, quickly dropped the bombs under the wings and hurriedly pulled up to escape.

Other fighters only dare to hover at a high place, shoot a wave of bullets downward from a farther position and then quickly evade, or climb up beyond the range of the opponent's anti-aircraft gun, and drop bombs directly from high altitude.

If you can't hit it right, let it go, anyway, it's true that it's the safest.

Up to now, 6 Japanese fighter planes have been shot down successively, but the air defense battalion has also paid a corresponding price. 4 anti-aircraft guns were destroyed, and more than 200 soldiers died in battle. Even the artillery battalion lost 5 guns and did not have time to hide 75 mountain artillery and dozens of artillery.

Smoke billows, charred craters and burning wreckage abound, but the fighting continues...

The offensive team of the 55th Wing advanced to a place 1 km away from the main position and then stopped, where they began to dig ditches to build a defensive position.

Because of the threat from the air, the Artillery Battalion of the Third Division had to move its artillery and conceal it, so as not to be destroyed by enemy planes one by one. The main position fired and provided cover for the attacking troops.

Taking advantage of this wave of cover, the seven 7-inch infantry guns in the wing quickly deployed, lying down among the low bushes, and it was difficult to spot them from a distance.

"気をつけろ, you all be careful."

"Hayaku!"

The lieutenant officer gave orders to his soldiers with a serious expression. Everyone put on a gas mask on their heads, and then boxes with skulls painted on them were delivered to them one by one.

Under the guidance of the biochemical personnel, the artillery quickly stuffed the gas bombs into the barrel.With the officer's shouting, all the guns were aimed at the enemy's position.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Seven infantry guns fired at the same time, firing more than 7 poison gas bombs in just 10 minutes, and a lot of yellow-green smoke instantly filled the 300 Heights and the left-wing position.

This time, the little devils were ruthless enough to use up all their money at the bottom of the box, in addition to mustard gas, there are also various biochemical bombs such as phosgene bombs that are poisonous to the whole body, and choking chlorine gas.

"Cough cough..."

"Ah! Goo...voo!"

"Put on the gas mask!"

The soldiers on the front line took off the gas masks on their waists and buckled them on their faces. The gas bombs covered a wide area and were extremely dense. If they moved a little slower, they would surely die. Countless people were poisoned and foamed at the mouth. .

Although each soldier of the three main regiments was equipped with a gas mask, there were still some careless soldiers who lost their lives in this wave of attacks, especially in places covered by mustard gas. The poisonous gas will cause erosion and redness in an instant, making the poisoned person unbearably itchy and painful.

The soldiers had to stay away from the range of mustard gas. Fortunately, except for this corrosive gas, other types of chemical agents can be isolated by gas masks.

"Don't panic, put on the gas mask, wrap your neck with a towel first, all officers hold the line for me! If I don't retreat, you all have to stay here!"

The situation became extremely serious, and there was some confusion in the troops. Chen Jize personally came to the front to stabilize the morale of the troops:
"Old Hong, arrange for someone to carry the wounded down. The other soldiers are ready to fight. The devils may take the opportunity to attack. Where's Li Jie?"

"Li Jie... the boy just choked on the poisonous gas, and now...he has already sent it down." Hong Mu walked over with a gun and said weakly, no one could see his expression under the gas mask.

Just now, a chemical bomb exploded in an anti-aircraft artillery team where Li Jie was, and they were enveloped in poisonous gas before they could react in time.

Fortunately, a group of infantrymen not far away found them in time and rescued them. Fortunately, the chemical bomb was not mustard gas, otherwise it would be difficult for a god to save them.

"Regimental Commander, why don't we retreat a little bit, many brothers in front were burned by mustard gas, rolling all over the floor in pain." A battalion commander ran over and said with difficulty.

The terrifying burst of mustard gas caused great harm in the crowded place. Even though they were wearing gas masks, the skins of many soldiers were burned so badly that the other comrades were all terrified when they saw it.

Chen Jize couldn't bear it. Indeed, as he said, there were still many soldiers in the center of the poisonous smog on the front line. Their only protection was gas masks, which could protect against phosgene and the like, but not against the pervasive corrosion of mustard gas.

"The troops must not be withdrawn! The little devils who are withdrawing this time will definitely rush forward. The southerly wind is blowing now. Otherwise, the poisonous gas will dissipate. Let the brothers persevere!" Before Chen Jize could speak, Hong Mu said on the spot Refused.

"But the deputy head..."

"If you fucking shake the morale of the army, I will kill you!"

Hong Mu yelled loudly, took off the gas mask on his head, and pointed his pistol at the battalion commander's head at the same time: "At worst, I will die with you, but I must not withdraw from the position! Don't forget your identities!"

"what!"

"This……"

The surrounding officers and soldiers were stunned, not because of Hong Mu's behavior, but because of his face...

A baby face that was originally full of joy is now covered with scars like an avocado, half of his face was burned and rotted by poisonous gas, and yellow-brown pus slowly flowed out from the wound, including his raised arm, It is unbelievable that he can still stand here and command the troops after suffering such serious injuries.

"Huh...huh...our three regiments only have soldiers who died in battle, and there are no cowards who escaped!"

Hong Mu was gasping for breath, the sweat dripping down his forehead, the roar seemed to exhaust all his strength, but his eyes were still bright and his body was straight.

Everyone was deeply shocked by him, no matter how iron-blooded a soldier is, it would be nothing more than that.

"Everyone obey orders! Stand firm, I will advance and retreat with you!" Chen Jize stepped forward to support Hong Mu, who was a little tottering, and said with firm eyes: "Qi Ri has no clothes, and I will be in the same robes with you!"

"I don't have clothes for a day, but I wear the same robes with my son!"
