Chapter 429 The Original Recipe, Familiar Taste

Kanzaki Kaiichiro's proposal was also echoed by other generals of the Marine Corps. At the same time, some officers of the Namada detachment also suggested to Namada Shigeichi to use the empire's special cigarettes.

To attack the Sichuan army in the city, the mission of the Botian detachment now is to occupy Anqing City first!
In the conference room, Namada Juichi thought for a long time, and immediately agreed to let the Japanese Marine Corps use special cigarettes.

"Yo!" Kaichiro Kanzaki smiled happily: "Major General Shigeichi Namada, it's long overdue. As soon as the special smoke comes out, Anqing City will be in the possession of the imperial army."

Namada Juichi looked at Kanzaki Kaiichiro, "Kanzaki-kun, please contact the Imperial Navy now!"

"I hope your suggestion is right. Let's test together whether the Sichuan Army really has special cigarettes."

"Hi!" Kanzaki Kaiichiro nodded, then left the conference room and came to the communications department. He sent a message to the Japanese Navy on the river, asking the Navy to carry out a special smoke attack on Anqing City.

After receiving the message from Kaiichiro Kanzaki, Commander Eijiro Kondo of the 11th Japanese Navy Squadron called his adjutant: "Yamada-kun, order the fleet immediately to prepare special cigarettes for me."

"In 10 minutes, the artillery of the entire fleet will bombard Anqing City for 15 minutes!"

"Hi!" Yamada Jiro nodded heavily, and then went to execute the order.

In Anqing City!

Chu Ming convened a meeting of various battalion commanders: "Everyone, according to the news brought by the commando team, the Independence Brigade attacked the Japanese airport. Now the Japanese Sixth Division has gone to defend the airport."

"The only Japanese troops outside the city are the Botian detachment and the 3th Battle Group of the Japanese Navy's 11rd Fleet. Although the Japanese have evacuated, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of strength."

"Now that the Japanese army's encirclement has narrowed, we can also obtain new supplies. We still have to hold on to Anqing City."

Several battalion commanders patted their chests and said: "Commander, don't worry, we have supplies now, no shortage of food, grass, weapons and ammunition. If this little devil wants to take Anqing City, he will have to break his front teeth."

Now Chu Ming Regiment, both officers and soldiers, are very optimistic about the upcoming battle situation!

Before, they were trapped in a tight siege by the Japanese army and their ammunition and food supplies had been exhausted. Now the troops have replenished their ammunition and food supplies, and the wounded have been treated. Everyone is confident that they can continue to hold on to Anqing City.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Chu Ming felt warm in his heart. He stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Everyone! Now the Independence Brigade is less than thirty kilometers away from us. We are not fighting alone."

"Moreover, after Commander Yang learned of the situation of our regiment, he sent reinforcements to rescue Anqing City!"

The first battalion commander frowned slightly: "Commander, Commander Yang has sent reinforcements. Our group army's defense line is already wide, so deploying troops like this will be detrimental to our overall operations."

"Captain, you should call Commander Yang back and tell him that our regiment can still hold on and does not want reinforcements. We must put the overall situation first."

When Chu Ming saw the first battalion commander saying this, he felt better about the first battalion commander. You must know that the first battalion commander had been clamoring to withdraw the troops before.

"Don't worry, Daniel. The strength of our group army has now been replenished. The newly formed First Army has returned. We have no shortage of troops for the time being. The reinforcement team is a regiment of the newly formed First Army."

"Great!" A group of officers learned that the group army now had no shortage of troops. They were very happy in their hearts. "Commander, when the reinforcements arrive, let's start to fight back against the Japanese army and give the little devil a good beating."

"It's not an option for us to be beaten all the time! Fight back, we must fight back. Let the devils see that our Sichuan Army is also a team that dares to take the initiative."

The officers of the Chu Ming Regiment were gearing up one by one, preparing for a big fight with the Botian detachment.

Just when Chu Ming was about to speak, suddenly, outside the headquarters, a sharp sound broke through the sky! !

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"She was shelled! The Japanese army was shelled!"

"Everyone, hurry up and take cover!"

Sichuan soldiers and officers shouted, each looking for a hiding place to escape.

When the Japanese artillery shells fell into the city, a burst of red smoke spread out instantly. When Chu Ming saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Poison gas... this is poison gas!"

"The little devil has released poison gas, everyone is ready to put on gas masks to protect against poison!!"

Red smoke filled the city. Many Sichuan soldiers had no time to put on gas masks. After inhaling the poisonous gas, they twitched several times and fell to the ground with foaming at the mouth.

Because this was a sudden bombardment by the Japanese army, poison gas bombs were dropped, and some gas masks were damaged during the previous battle of the Chu Ming Regiment, and some gas masks fell into the previously occupied city.

Coupled with the hot weather, the soldiers carried gas masks with them and felt uncomfortable. Many soldiers threw the gas masks in their barracks.

This resulted in only about 2000 soldiers carrying gas masks among the remaining [-] people;
The soldiers without gas masks quickly died from the poisonous gas. Chu Ming and several battalion commanders put on the gas masks inside the headquarters, and they began to contact the defenders in the city by phone.

However, the phone calls at many key commanding heights and passes have been unreachable. At this time, Chu Ming understood that most of the soldiers in these places were gone.

"First battalion commander, Wang Daniu!"

"Arrived!" Wang Daniu immediately stood at attention.

"Daniu, from now on, you will immediately lead the troops, gather the soldiers, and stop the Japanese troops from entering the city. Can you complete the mission? Are there any difficulties?"

"Report to the leader, I can complete the task without difficulty."

"Okay!" Chu Ming nodded heavily: "Brothers, the Japanese army suddenly launched poison gas bombs. Our regiment is finished. I will make a brief summary of the battle and report it to Commander Yang."

"You lead the troops to stop the Japanese troops from entering the city. I will come soon. Let's walk together on the road to Huangquan!"

After speaking, Chu Ming saluted several battalion commanders. Wang Daniu and others quickly returned the salute to Chu Ming, then turned and left.

Inside the headquarters, Chu Ming organized his regiment's battle briefing and asked the communications corps to send it to Commander Yang.

After the telegram was sent, Chu Ming said to the signal corps: "Burn the important documents of the regiment immediately!"

"Yes!" The signal soldier nodded!
After the documents at the regiment headquarters were burned, Chu Ming personally picked up the Min-26 submachine gun, pulled the bolt, and loaded the bullet. "Brothers, come with me to kill the Japanese!"

"Yes... Commander, let's go together. There are no cowards in our Sichuan Army!"

The communications corpsmen and several staff officers from the regiment, as well as Chu Ming's guards, all armed with weapons, moved towards the direction of Wang Daniu and others to reinforce.

Botian detachment headquarters!
The signal soldier came to Juichi Namada's side: "Reporting to the detachment leader, the troops entering the city are attacking smoothly."

"A large number of Chinese soldiers were found foaming at the mouth on the streets and in their rooms. They all died under the Empire's special smoke."

"There are still sporadic exchanges of fire in the city. There are only about a hundred enemy troops. Captain Inoue is cleaning up the remaining enemies. He guarantees that Anqing City will be completely captured in one hour!"

Namada Juichi widened his eyes, this result was completely beyond his expectation!

Kaichiro Kanzaki on the side raised his lips with a hint of arrogance: "Major General Shigeichi Namada, you see, the Sichuan Army does not have special cigarettes at all."

"If they had the special smoke, they would have retaliated against the Imperial Army by now."

"I see that the Sichuan Army's publicity that it has a large amount of special cigarettes and that it can also manufacture special cigarettes are all fake and deceptive." Shigeichi Namada saw what Kaiichiro Kanzaki said, and he nodded slightly: "Yoshi, thanks to Mr. Kanzaki, we saw through the Sichuan Army's conspiracy this time."

27th Army Headquarters!

Yang Sen received an urgent telegram from Anqing City. After reading the telegram, he said to Chief of Staff Xian Guangjun: "Old Xian... Anqing City is lost!"

"What!?" Xian Guangjun widened his eyes: "How could it be lost?"

"Show me the message!"

After Xian Guangjun read the telegram, he cursed: "The stupid little devil actually used poison gas bombs."

"Lao Yang, it seems that our troops have become lax in recent days, thinking that the Japanese army does not dare to use gas bombs, and many soldiers do not take gas masks to heart."

"This phenomenon must be rectified, otherwise it will have a huge impact."

Yang Sen nodded. He agreed with Xian Guangjun's statement, because Chu Ming's message had already summarized the fall of Anqing City. The first point was that the Sichuan army ignored the gas war and did not take the gas masks distributed by the troops to heart.

Since Sichuan Province was able to manufacture poison gas bombs and gas masks, Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua publicized that if the Japanese army dared to use poison gas, the Sichuan army would definitely retaliate.

Therefore, in the Seventh War Zone, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Niangziguan, when the Sichuan army and the Japanese army fought, the little Japanese did not dare to use poison gas.

This gave the Sichuan soldiers a feeling that the Japanese army would not use poison gas. Everyone thought this way, so they did not wear the gas mask.

The current battle in Anqing City is a wake-up call for the Sichuan Army!
Yang Sen called the signal corps: "Immediately forward this message to the Second Route Army Headquarters. At the same time, also tell the Independent Brigade and the newly formed 144th Division to let them be careful about the Japanese poison gas warfare."

After the communications corps of the 27th Group Army sent the message back to Sichuan Province, Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua also immediately sent messages to the Sichuan Army in each theater.

Let them rectify the Sichuan Army so that no situation like Chu Ming Regiment can happen again!

Inside the cave!

Yu Hua and Guo Xunqi were looking at the map. The signal soldier stepped forward, interrupted the two of them, and gave the message to Yu Hua.

"Anqing City has been lost!"

Guo Xunqi, Liu Changqing, and Yu Dazhu all looked puzzled: "This shouldn't happen!"

"We attracted the Sixth Division, and Yang Sen sent a commando team to contact the Chu Ming Regiment. The food, grass and ammunition of the defenders in the city have been replenished. Logically speaking, Anqing City will not fall so quickly. .”

Yu Hua looked at the big guy: "The Botian detachment used special smoke. Due to carelessness, many soldiers of the Chuming Regiment in the city did not wear gas masks and left them in the barracks."

"Alas..." Liu Changqing sighed: "It seems that our Sichuan Army must rectify it!"

When Guo Xunqi first came to the Wuhan area, when he was training in the rear, he also strictly required the troops to carry gas masks with them.

Unexpectedly, a few months after I returned to Sichuan Province, the frontline troops were fighting the Japanese army, and I had forgotten about poison prevention.

"It's time to rectify it!" Guo Xunqi's eyes narrowed: "Otherwise, we will suffer the big loss."

Yu Hua looked at the map, "Tonight, we will attack the Sixth Division at the airport, and we will also give the Japanese a poison gas bombing."

"It seems that if our Sichuan Army doesn't teach the Japs a lesson, they will take what I, the Sichuan Army, say as farts."

"Fight!" Guo Xunqi gritted his teeth and said: "We must fight to avenge the thousands of brothers in Anqing City and let the little devils taste the power of poisonous gas."

"Lao Yu, let's play big tonight!" Liu Changqing's eyes were blazing: "The troops led by Rao Guohua and Liu Yuqing will meet us at twelve o'clock in the evening."

"With three divisions and an independent brigade, plus the poison gas for the Japanese, there is no problem at all in eating the Sixth Division."

When Yu Hua heard this, he looked at Liu Changqing: "Okay!"

"This Sixth Division is the fat in our mouths tonight and must be eaten."

After discussing the elimination of the Sixth Division, Yu Hua began to plan the campaign!

After the sun went down, at six o'clock in the evening, the leading troops of Rao Guohua's division and Liu Yuqing's division each came to the independent brigade.

Rao Guohua and Liu Yuqing came with the vanguard. After seeing Yu Hua, Liu Changqing, and Guo Xunqi, they hugged each other.

"Brother Yu! Brother, I miss you so much."

Several elders hugged each other, but they didn't mind it either. After chatting with each other for a while, Yu Hua took everyone into the cave.

In the cave!
Yu Hua spread out the map, "Brother Rao, Brother Liu, tonight we are going to fight Inaba Shiro's Sixth Division."

"My scheduled attack time is twelve o'clock!"

"Two brothers, after your troops have been on a forced march, do you need to rest for a while before launching an attack on the Japanese Sixth Division? I can postpone it until two o'clock in the morning."

"No!" Rao Guohua waved his hand, "Brother Yu, my new 145th Division does not need to rest. The brothers have all slept well on the train."

"Now that we are full of energy, our division can launch an attack on the Japanese Sixth Division as planned."

Liu Yuqing also stood up: "Brother Yu, my 26th Division can also attack the Japanese Sixth Division according to the planned plan."

Seeing the two brothers patting their chests and ensuring that they would arrive at the scheduled location tonight and launch the attack on time, Yu Hua issued a combat mission map.

Liu Yuqing and Rao Guohua looked at the mission map after getting it. They looked at each other and smiled. It was still the original recipe and the familiar taste.

Also attending this meeting was Zhang Yungang. Since the last time his troops and the Sichuan Army ambushed the Japanese airport and achieved results, the Sichuan Army divided the battle achievements and allowed the 26th Group Army to show its face in front of the people across the country.

Xu Yuanquan also gave Zhang Yungang an order to cooperate more with the Sichuan Army to attack the Japanese troops on the front line of Anqing City and try to gain more face for the 26th Group Army.

Seeing that all units of the Sichuan Army had received combat missions, Zhang Yungang approached Yu Hua: "Adjutant Yu, where is our regiment's mission?!"

"Our regiment is willing to obey the Sichuan Army's command, Adjutant Yu, and our regiment will also participate in this battle."

Zhang Yungang wanted to participate in this battle. Yu Hua frowned slightly. First of all, Zhang Yungang's regiment had many new soldiers. The Sixth Division that ambushed Inaba Shiro this time was one of the seventeen permanent divisions of the Japanese army.

The combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division is also very strong among the seventeen permanent divisions. Yu Hua is a little worried about the combat effectiveness of Zhang Yungang's regiment, fearing that they will not be able to withstand the pressure of the Japanese army.

After all, during the last military training, a company of more than 100 people under this regiment was almost overwhelmed by a Japanese squad.

If it were not for the proper command of the grassroots officers of the Sichuan Army, the defense line during the training would have completely collapsed.
