Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 276 Devil's Secret Weapon: Gas Bomb

Ichiro Tada, the chief of staff at the side, said with an ugly face: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, I really didn't expect that there would be such a gunner in the Eighth Route Army of China, who could accurately hit the moving Imperial Army tanks with a curved gun.

Judging by the explosion of the shell, it should be the Imperial Army's Type [-] infantry artillery, right? "

"With such artillery in the Independent Battalion, it may not be so easy for the Imperial Army to rely on tank squadrons to defeat them."

Masao Nishiyama nodded with a gloomy face, and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's independent battalion is indeed somewhat beyond my imagination, but it is still a dream for them to defeat our Imperial Japanese Army."

"Order the 5th Battalion to launch an attack from the front to divert the attention of the Independent Battalion. The 1st and 2nd Battalions will outflank the past from the left and right wings!"

"Hi Yi!"

A ghost messenger nodded heavily, then turned and left.

The order was delivered, and soon, the Japanese army organized another attack.

However, this time the Japanese army did not use the front as a breakthrough, but sent a brigade of troops to feign an attack to attract the firepower and attention of the independent battalion.

In addition, two brigades were dispatched to make detours from the left and right wings.

Wang Chengzhu had anticipated this, so he deployed a large number of mines on the left and right wings, and deployed machine gun fire in some dangerous positions.

So, the devils who went back and forth from the left and right flanks left hundreds of corpses, and had to retreat back the same way.

Furious and angry, Masao Nishiyama finally completely released his inner demons and decided to use a secret weapon.

The Chief of Staff Tada Ichiro next to him was startled, and said with some concern: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, do you really want to use gas bombs? This is a violation of international conventions! Afterwards, the Chinese Army will definitely make a big fuss about it and use it to Public opinion is attacking our Great Japanese Imperial Army internationally!"

Masao Nishiyama sneered and said, "Violation of international conventions? History is always written by the victors. Moreover, as long as we wiped out the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army of China, who would know that we used gas bombs?"

"Indecisiveness is not the behavior of my big Japanese military officer. Hurry up and pass on my orders!"

"Hi Yi!"

Tada Ichiro stopped talking, and after a sudden pause, he hurried towards the artillery position.

……

On the front line of the Independence Battalion, Xu Hailang and Tian Shuisheng, with a few guards, were patrolling the frontline trenches, expressing condolences to the soldiers who stood there for the rest of their lives.

Once again repelled the crazy attack of the devils, and won a rare peace on the battlefield!
Xu Hailang patted the shoulders of several soldiers whose heads were wrapped in blood-soaked gauze to show encouragement.Then they came to a foxhole, stood side by side with Tian Shuisheng, and looked out through the binoculars.

After observing for a long time, Tian Shuisheng found that the Japanese army did not immediately launch retaliatory artillery strikes and reorganize the attack after being repelled like the previous two times. Instead, there was no movement for a long time. He couldn't help wondering: "Deputy Battalion Commander, what kind of trick do you think the little devil is selling? The attack failed, and until now there has been no retaliatory artillery attack on us!"

Xu Hailang said solemnly: "The 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army came prepared, even the tank troops were dispatched, it must be aimed at destroying our independent battalion.

Right now, the devil is so silent in the midst of the war, it must not be preparing to withdraw, but a conspiracy is brewing! "

Tian Shuisheng put down the binoculars and said, "Then we have to be more vigilant!" Just as his words fell silent, shells suddenly flew from the sky in front of him.

Out of the soldier's instinctive reaction, Xu Hailang and Tian Shuisheng quickly took the lead and squatted down to avoid it.

However, those shells roared and landed on the position, but did not explode.

One of them landed on the bunker not far from the two of them. The projectile warhead was inserted into the soil, most of the projectile body was outside, and it was smoking outwards.

Xu Hailang and Tian Shuisheng looked up when they heard the sound, and saw a puff of reddish-brown smoke continuously coming out from the tail of the shell.

Not long after, the soldier next to the smoke foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground in convulsions.

"Not good! This smoke is poisonous, everyone cover your mouth and nose, hold your breath, and retreat!"

Although the two didn't know about gas bombs, they realized that the smoke must not be simple, so they immediately signaled the soldiers next to them to cover their mouths and noses, hold their breath, and retreated.

Although the fortifications they dug and built can withstand the attack of conventional artillery shells, they cannot stop the erosion of the poisonous fog. Therefore, retreating back and leaving the poisonous fog area is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it.

Because staying on the ground and sacrificed in vain has no effect...

Rear artillery positions.

Wang Chengzhu also saw the reddish-brown poisonous mist rising from the forward position, and his knowledge was far beyond that of people of this era.

Moreover, in the anti-war dramas he participated in, there are often plots where devils use gas bombs.

Therefore, almost at the moment when the poisonous fog rose, Wang Chengzhu realized that the little devil had used a poisonous gas bomb.

As a person who is born to be strong and inspired to act as the protagonist of the Anti-Japanese War drama, Wang Chengzhu will not only learn to strengthen his acting skills in his spare time, but also learn about the history of the Anti-Japanese War era.

Therefore, he also has a certain understanding of the devil's poisonous gas.

Therefore, Wang Chengzhu was not too panicked, because according to historical records, the level of poison gas bombs during World War II was far from being as sophisticated as in the 21st century, and the mustard gas of the Japanese devils melted when exposed to water.

Therefore, even if the independent battalion does not have a gas mask, it is nothing to be afraid of.

So, Wang Chengzhu immediately took out the towel he carried with him, and then took off the marching water bottle on Monk Wei's waist next to him, poured water on the towel, soaked it, and finally covered his mouth and nose.

"Quickly, pass on the order, and everyone will follow! If you don't have a towel, you can use cloth strips! The shells fired by the devils are poison gas bombs, so they can prevent poison!
If you don't have water, you can also use urine, and the effect is even better! "

Covering his mouth and nose, Wang Chengzhu ran towards the forward position. After meeting the soldiers of the Second Company who had retreated head-on, he immediately explained the method of defusing the poisonous gas.

In fact, this method can only have the best effect when used in a place with air circulation. If it is used in a place with a sealed space and no air circulation, the effect will be greatly reduced. It can only be relieved for a while, and the effect is difficult to last.

The messengers quickly conveyed Wang Chengzhu's demonstration and orders. The soldiers naturally believed in what the battalion commander Wang Chengzhu said, and they were omnipotent about his orders, so they hurriedly followed suit.

Those who did not have towels tore off their military uniforms, and those who did not have water borrowed them from their comrades-in-arms, and those who could not borrow them decisively used urine.

Although this thing is a little disgusting, it is nothing to the resolute Eighth Route Army soldiers.

What's more, they still know how to choose between disgusting and losing their lives.
