My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 476
At the headquarters of the 88th Army in Lashio, Liao Mingyu was sitting at his desk writing hard, with a thick pile of paperwork piled up in his hand, which showed that he had been busy for a long time.

The beeping sound of the radio was beeping rhythmically, and several staff officers around were still gathered around the sand table, holding documents to discuss and formulate a battle plan. The small sand table was like a shrunken battlefield, and the landscape and soldiers were clear at a glance.

Liao Mingyu put down the pen and paper, rubbed his temples, slightly relieved his stiff arms, looked at the results of the past few hours on the table, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The Battle of Mandalay is entering its final stage, and the next base plan is imperative. Although it is not clear what changes the system will bring to itself, it is always good to plan ahead and make more preparations.

And now that the army is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things to manage, it is no longer possible to do whatever you want like before.

creak...

The door of the war room was pushed open, and Meng Fan came in with big strides. Before anyone arrived, the voice came in first: "Jun Zuo, the artillery brigade is ready, please..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold gaze swept towards him, Meng Fanyao realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

"You go out first, and no one is allowed to approach without my order." Liao Mingyu stood up and waved his hands.

"Yes…"

Although I don't know why Jun Zuo suddenly drove people away, the soldiers and staff officers in the war room still went out obediently.

After everyone left, Meng Fanle regained his composure, walked up to someone and said shyly, "Then what...Junzuo..."

"What and what? Didn't I tell you that the confidentiality of this matter is very important? You don't want your head anymore?"

"Yes, yes... damn the humble position, the humble position is stupid, please forgive me, Junzuo."

Liao Mingyu rolled his eyes at him angrily, sat down on the chair again, escaped from his pocket with a lighter, lit a cigarette, and asked casually, "Have all the troops on the front line been withdrawn?"

"Hui Junzuo, the first and second main forces of the third division have all retreated to a safe position, and the third main force has not completely withdrawn from the battlefield because it has advanced too far." Meng Fanle replied hastily.

"Tell them to hurry up. No one can be left in the kill zone. The front line will be temporarily handed over to the secret service battalion for management and deployment, and...notify the Americans that the attack will be suspended, and all planes will return to the airport for standby."

"Understood, I'll arrange it now."

After giving all the orders, Liao Mingyu took a puff of his cigarette, and while puffing, his fingers danced rhythmically on the table, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.

The secrecy of this operation is very important. Those who know the details in the military will not miss the first-hand numbers. Not only can they not disclose any information to the outside world, but even the US military must keep it secret, otherwise it is very likely to become a target of public criticism. After all, that thing...

Tabun... This extremely terrifying word that represents death may be very unfamiliar to many people, but there is another name that makes everyone in the world frightened, and that is the famous "sarin toxin".

It is the first artificially synthesized nerve agent in human history, and it is also the most toxic biochemical weapon in World War II, with a hundred times the toxicity of ordinary biochemical weapons.

In front of it, mustard gas, chlorine gas, phosgene... all become pediatrics. The former may take hours or days to kill someone, while Tabun only takes a few minutes to kill a person, and there is no possibility of rescue. .

The nightmare began when a young German chemist, Gerhard Schrader, originally worked for this ordinary chemical company. At that time, he received an order from his superiors to develop a new type of pesticide to reduce agricultural pests.

The scientist tried to synthesize several fluorine- and sulfur-containing compounds, but the effect was mediocre.Then he tried his luck with phosphorus and cyanide, and he did have some shit luck and managed to synthesize a highly toxic substance at the cost of the guy being in the hospital for weeks.

This highly toxic substance can not only kill pests, but also cause vomiting and diarrhea in humans, and kill mammals such as apes!The research results of this young German chemist were not recognized by his superiors, but instead got the attention of the German military. This was the beginning of the nightmare.

During World War II, the German military began to develop the "tabun" into a chemical weapon. It took only two years to extract and synthesize "sarin poison" from "tabun", which was successfully used in military weapons.

Then Germany began to mass-produce sarin poison and make biochemical gas warheads, but they did not use chemical weapons in actual combat. It is speculated that Hitler did not want to use chemical weapons because he was injured by chemical weapons in World War I.

Secondly, the United Kingdom at that time also had the ability to produce chemical weapons. Lao Xi was afraid of the retaliation of the Allied forces and did not approve the use of such weapons by the army. Therefore, nerve agents such as tabun and sarin failed to show their style on the battlefield of World War II.

The reason why Liao Mingyu had this thing was also out of accident...

Two days ago, Chen Jize ran long distances like a god of war descending to the earth to kill all directions. While earning enough points for someone, he also unlocked a few chances for weapon lucky draws.

What people didn't expect was that the notorious "Tabun Poison" was actually drawn in these lucky draws, which really scared Liao Mingyu, the person involved.

Sarin's reputation is extremely terrifying, and as its predecessor, Tabun, its lethality is not weak, and even a small dose of it can kill a person within a few minutes.

It is divided into two forms: liquid and gaseous. A drop of poisonous liquid the size of a needle eye can cause an adult to die quickly. After poisoning, it will manifest as miosis, dyspnea, bronchospasm and violent convulsions. In severe cases, death will occur within a few minutes.

A 105mm gas bomb contains about 2 kilograms of liquid poison. Once it spreads out, it can kill and injure people within 2 kilometers. Its power and lethality are terrible.

On the one hand, although Mandalay has become a turtle in a urn, its defense force still exists, and the resistance of the Japanese army is still tenacious. Even though the current situation is like that of the 88th Army, it will not take a day or two to take down the whole of Mandalay.

On the other hand, although Chen Jize led his troops directly to Meiktila, since it was the first blitzkrieg operation, there were still some problems in the cooperation and coordination of the various troops. Among them, mechanical failure was an important reason for the sharp decline in the armored brigade's combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it was originally planned that the armored brigade would attack from the south and the north, and cooperate with the honorary third division on the north bank of the Ayeyarwady River to outflank Mandalay, but it seemed unrealistic at this time.

At present, Chen Jize and the others can only guard the main roads to the south, so that Yamashita Fufumi's troops lose their final strategic space, forcing the latter to become angry and make mistakes in confusion.

As long as the little devil's mentality collapsed and he started to retreat southward without thinking, the whole battle would basically be over.

But now it seems that the Japanese army shows no signs of retreating. It seems that Yamashita Fufumi is determined to coexist with Mandalay City. This can be seen from the degree of resistance of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese's failure is already doomed, Liao Mingyu also understands that it will take a lot of effort to completely solve Mandalay. He learned from the U.S. military's aerial reconnaissance plane that the Japanese defense is very deep. To carry it to the end, this battle will last at least ten days and half a month.

There is not so much time now, and even with this effort, the battle damage will not be too low when the time comes, and I only have 5 to [-] people in my hand. If the loss is too great, there is no place to replenish it.

After thinking about it, only poisonous gas bombs can solve it the fastest and most perfectly. It just so happened that the "Tabun Poison" was extracted from the weapon. This is God's will.

To be honest...it is very inhumane to use this thing on the battlefield. After all, the Germans are so arrogant, but they never used it once until they were defeated.

But when he thought that the other party was a little Japan, all the guilt in Liao Mingyu's heart disappeared instantly... There is no need for pity to deal with those bastards, they deserve everything...
