The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Commander, the little devil is too ruthless. He actually used poison gas bombs on a large scale against the attacking troops. If Xiao Huang hadn't given the order to retreat in time, every one of the two thousand attacking troops would have run back... This revenge must be avenged. Blood for blood!" Chief of Staff Li Wensheng cursed with righteous indignation when he returned to the headquarters.

"Have all the losses been counted?" Kong Jie asked calmly.

The angry expression on Li Wensheng's face instantly turned into grief, and he lowered his head and reported with a heavy face.

"The first battalion sacrificed 439 people... The second battalion sacrificed 458 people... The third battalion sacrificed 402 people... Fifty-one soldiers were seriously injured after being poisoned and have been taken away by the field hospital. No one knows whether they can be rescued in the end. !"

Kong Jie immediately ordered: "Tell Director Tang of the field hospital that they must be rescued at any cost..."

"Enough soldiers have died due to poisonous gas, if there is one less death, then one less death!"

"The field hospital still needs to use this opportunity to sum up experience, how to quickly rescue soldiers seriously injured by poison gas..."

"If the Zuo Fuji Division dares to use gas bombs against us once, there will be a second, or even a third time. We must be prepared in advance."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Li Wensheng and continued to ask, "How is the morale of the troops?"

"Very depressed!" Li Wensheng replied with his head down.

"There are even many cadres who are full of doubts about our anti-mopping up! They think that the devil has poison gas bombs. No matter how powerful we are, we can't be the opponents of gas bombs!"

Kong Jie didn't answer, and asked again: "I remember we seized gas masks before!"

"Have you ever counted... how many gas masks are in stock in the logistics warehouse!"

"If the Zuo Fuji Division continues to use gas bombs against us, the soldiers must wear gas masks to fight, otherwise we will have to retreat!"

Li Wensheng shook his head and replied helplessly: "Our Eighth Route Army is not equipped with gas bombs, and the devils basically don't carry gas masks when fighting us!"

"It was the last anti-sweep that seized a batch from the headquarters of the Guizi United Army. The Yamamoto Special Forces seized some before, and the rest were one or two. There is no victory..."

"After knowing that Lieutenant General Zuo Fuji used gas bombs on us, I immediately contacted the logistics department and asked them to count the number of gas masks..."

"A total of 429 were found, and they are on the way to be sent..."

The expression on Kong Jie's face became more and more dignified, and he sighed and said, "Too few, this gas mask is not enough to equip a battalion!"

"On the battlefield, even the Zuo Fuji Division can't stop the attack for half a day!"

Huang Yu interrupted suddenly: "Regimental Commander...I don't think the troops can put all their hopes on the gas masks..."

"The devils use mortars to fire the gas bombs. They still have [-] or [-] mortars. Once the troops are divided, they can launch a gas war against us anywhere and at any time!"

"Unless all fighters of the Independent Regiment are equipped with gas masks, we will be defenseless!"

Kong Jie knew Huang Yu too well, so he asked directly, "Say what you think!"

"Think of a way to prevent the devils from using gas bombs on us!" Huang Yu blurted out the solution he had just thought of. …

Kong Jie was stupefied when he heard this, and shook his head, "Except for the advantage of artillery fire, we have almost nothing in our hands that makes the Zuo Teng division worry. How could we not dare to use gas bombs against us!"

"What if we also have gas bombs?" Huang Yu asked Kong Jie's incredulous eyes.

Li Wensheng seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly interrupted: "Leader, Xiao Huang's method may be really useful!"

"The combat materials carried by the Zuo Teng Division were basically destroyed by the assault battalion, even if they wore gas masks, they were gone!"

"If we have gas bombs in our hands, Sato must be worried that we will retaliate with fire and have to give up using gas bombs!"

Kong Jie was not optimistic about this method, and immediately expressed his concern: "Yoshio Iwamatsu can air-drop gas bombs to the Zuo Fuji Division, and he can also air-drop gas masks to them!"

"As long as they have a pair of gas masks, it's useless for us to equip more gas bombs!"

"And poison gas bombs are weapons that are banned all over the world. Our Eighth Route Army has discipline. Even if there are poison gas bombs, we can't use them rashly!"

Huang Yu immediately explained: "I didn't intend to use poison gas bombs on the devils, just to threaten them!"

"As for Yoshio Iwamatsu airdropping gas masks to the Zuo Fuji Division, that's just right!"

"Aren't there not enough gas masks in the regiment?"

"The most important thing is that the Zuo Fuji division has a pair of gas masks, we just captured them and used them for me..."

"If the independent regiment is equipped with one or two thousand gas masks and the troops use them in rotation, there is no fear that the Zuo Fuji division will use gas bombs against us again!"

The more Li Wensheng listened, the more he felt that what Huang Yu said made sense, and he immediately supported it: "Captain, Xiao Huang's proposal is indeed a bit risky, but it's better than us holding four or five hundred gas masks and fighting the Zuo Teng Division!"

"I think I can try it!"

Kong Jie nodded, looked at Huang Yu seriously and asked, "What are you going to do with gas bombs!"

"The gas bomb is Zuo Teng's last trump card against us, so he must guard it like a treasure!"

"Our attack just now didn't even break through their outer defense line, let alone break into their garrison!"

"Even if I agree with this plan, we can't get gas bombs!"

Huang Yu thought for a while before answering: "The special forces can try it! If there is a heavy artillery battalion and a cavalry battalion to support it, the chance of winning is at least [-]%!"

Kong Jie's face was more serious than before, and he fixed his eyes on Huang Yu, as if trying to see through him, and asked seriously, "Are you sure you didn't talk big to us just now!"

Huang Yu replied very firmly: "Don't worry, leader... I, Huang Yu, will definitely not open my mouth about things that I'm not sure about!"

"Okay...then let's try..." Kong Jie no longer hesitated.

At two o'clock in the morning, the Japanese military garrison, which had experienced a big battle, became quiet again.

Like a group of ghosts, the fifty or so soldiers of the Special Forces slowly disappeared from Kong Jie's vision.

Ten minutes later, the screech of shells across the sky resounded across the battlefield again.

The little devil in his sleep was suddenly awakened, and he had no choice but to pick up a weapon in the lost lake and enter the position...

Lieutenant General Zuo Teng was also so frightened that he jumped up from the bed, grabbed the binoculars and the armed belt, rushed out of the tent, and climbed to the high ground beside him...

"Is the independent regiment crazy... just lost more than a thousand people, and they come to attack, aren't they afraid that they will lose another thousand people?" Lieutenant General Zuo Teng panted to the chief of staff as he climbed to the high ground.

"Division commander... The independent regiment's attack is a little different..." The chief of staff who climbed up to the high ground first analyzed.

"All the artillery fire was concentrated on our east and south sides, and the northwest two directions were not attacked at all, and we didn't even see the shadow of the Eighth Route Army!"

"The independent regiment should have seized gas masks...but not too many. After all, our combat troops are rarely issued when they are out in action!"

"I suspect that they don't have enough gas masks, so they have to concentrate their forces and firepower to launch a key attack from one or two directions!"

"I think we should gather heavy troops to defend the two directions to the southeast, and send them more mortars and gas bombs..."

Lieutenant General Zuo Teng calmed down a lot, shook his head and analyzed: "This is only a possibility!"

"The independent group has gas masks in their hands, but there are not many... I agree with this point!"

"But the independent regiment may not launch an attack from two directions in the southeast!"

"Maybe all we see is an illusion!"

"You mean that the independent regiment is attacking the west? It's fake to bombard the southeast, and the two directions to the northwest are their real attack directions?"

Lieutenant General Zuo Teng nodded: "This possibility is not ruled out!"

"But as long as the independent regiment doesn't launch an attack, no one can judge their real main attack direction!"

"The troops will immediately enter the position and strengthen their guard..."

"Without my order, no troops can be rashly mobilized..."

"The artillery tactics remain the same... As long as the independent regiment enters the artillery coverage area, it will immediately use gas bombs..."

Two directions to the northwest of the Japanese garrison, the cavalry battalion was divided into two, and slowly moved towards the Japanese garrison...

When the blocking position was still [-] meters away, more than [-] mortars suddenly joined the battle...

Compared with the mountain artillery, the density of the shells they fired is higher...

After a while, the devil's blocking position was bombarded with bombardment and smoke filled the sky...
