Chapter 435 A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood
In the bunker, Inaba Shiro was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!Because, at a glance, the elite Sixth Division under his command now looks like a rabble.

"Eight Grid Road!"

After scolding angrily, Inaba Shiro looked at everyone, "You are all warriors of the empire. Now think of a solution. How should we solve this problem?!"

Inside the headquarters, several commanders of the Sixth Division saw what they could do when they saw the endless roars of the division commander.

Now the Sichuan Army has set up an artillery regiment. There are fifty or sixty 75mm-caliber artillery pieces alone. Such powerful artillery fire, both special smoke and conventional artillery shells, will completely kill the Sixth Division. Forced on the road!

At the same time, at the Sichuan Army's artillery position, the artillery led by Yu Dazhu has arrived at the No. [-] artillery position. According to the Sichuan Army's artillery firing habit, it is to fire five rounds in a row to see the effect!
After firing five rounds of artillery shells, the Sichuan Army's artillery immediately began to move. The artillerymen led the mules and horses, and the others carried the artillery shell boxes. Everyone quickly left and headed to the next artillery position.

As for the artillery regiment of the Sixth Division deployed in the low mountains outside the airport, there are now very few living artillery units left.

Because when the Japanese artillery captain came out with artillery to set up artillery positions, he disliked the gas masks getting in the way. In addition, the Sixth Division spread across the Chinese battlefield. It had been more than a year since the war started, and the Chinese army had never used special smoke.

This led the artillery captain of the Sixth Division to believe that the Sichuan Army did not have special smoke. Now that the Sichuan Army's artillery regiment fired a burst of special smoke, all the Japanese artillery units were hit!

At the airport, three divisions and an independent brigade of the Sichuan Army, plus Zhang Yungang's reinforced regiment, have all arrived at the predetermined location. Now that the artillery bombing is about to end, they are waiting for the poisonous gas at the foot of the mountain to disperse.

Then put on the gas mask issued by the Sichuan Army, rush into the Japanese airport, and perform last-ditch attacks on the little Japanese!

Guo Xunqi, Rao Guohua, Liu Yuqing, Liu Changqing and others were also using telescopes to observe the changes in the battlefield below.

At this time, a soldier carrying a shortwave communication radio came to Liu Changqing: "Report, brigade commander."

"Adjutant Yu's latest order is that the Japanese Sixth Division has been hit by artillery fire from our army. In order to prevent it from jumping over the wall and breaking out, the independent brigade is also asked to prepare for battle."

"Prevent the Japanese troops from breaking out of the encirclement at all costs!"

Liu Changqing patted his chest: "Give Adjutant Yu a message and tell him that our independent brigade will not let him down."

At the same time, Liu Changqing also called the messenger: "Give me the order. The light and heavy machine guns, mortars and Type [-] infantry guns of the entire brigade will be deployed for combat and aimed at the direction in which the Japanese army may choose to break out."

"When you see the Japanese troops breaking through, you don't need to ask for instructions. Just open fire for me and kill these beasts!"

At the same time, on Rao Guohua's side, the signal corpsman also repeated Yu Hua's order. When Rao Guohua saw the signal corpsman coming to deliver the order, he looked like a young man entering the bridal chamber, he couldn't wait.

There was a lot of excitement here at the airport. The Sichuan Army troops were in attack positions, watching the show.

In Anqing City, the Botian Detachment also strengthened its defense tonight. A division of the Sichuan Army's 27th Group Army, plus troops from the 26th Group Army, totaling 3 people, were also in place.

Especially outside the city, Zhang Zhenhan led his 41st Division as the vanguard to meet the Sichuan army.

When Zhang Yun, commander of the newly formed 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army, met with Zhang Zhenhan, both sides were not polite and directly asked about the upcoming battle.

Zhang Zhenhan saw the weapons carried by the Sichuan Army's 27th Group Army, which were all Czech-style light machine guns, civilian-type 26 general-purpose machine guns and submachine guns, plus M2 heavy machine guns.

This made his eyes turn red. This damn equipment is all good. If such good equipment can be used by his own troops, Zhang Zhenhan guarantees that his 41st Division can at least serve as a brigade of the Japanese army.

The troops from the Sichuan Army must be elite. This was Zhang Zhenhan's guess, because, judging from the equipment alone, he believed that the newly formed 133rd Division was an elite division within the Sichuan Army.If Zhang Yun knew Zhang Zhenhan's thoughts, he would definitely smile and say: "Brother Zhang, our Sichuan Army's current standard configuration is like this!"

"It's not an elite division. If we want to talk about elite strength, we have to look at the independent brigade under Liu Changqing. This brigade is now the trump card in the Sichuan Army."

"The independent brigade has an establishment of 4000 people, including artillery battalions, machine gun battalions, anti-aircraft machine guns, combat artillery, as well as cavalry battalions, special operations battalions, etc."

"The artillery battalion is equipped with 105mm howitzers. Only the troops equipped with 105mm howitzers can now be regarded as the elite division of the Sichuan Army."

The newly formed 133rd Division cannot keep up with the independent brigade in terms of artillery configuration. It only has six Type 12 mountain guns, six Type [-] mountain guns, plus [-] Type [-] infantry guns!
With this little artillery power, they really can’t be considered an elite division in the Sichuan Army!
"Brother Zhang Yun, how will your Sichuan army fight in this battle?" Zhang Zhenhan said slightly, today the 26th Army attacked Anqing City.

Although the city was captured by the Japanese army, most of the city walls were preserved and very strong. If they were to attack by force, the casualties of the troops would be very small.

"Brother Zhang, don't the little devils like to use gas bombs?"

"Let's give him a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood today, so that these Japanese soldiers can also taste the poisonous gas."

Zhang Zhenhan's eyes widened: "Brother, do you really have this thing in the hands of the Sichuan Army?"

Zhang Yun nodded, "Yes, the commander of our Second Route Army of the Sichuan Army has said that as long as the Japanese army does not use special cigarettes, our Sichuan Army will never use it."

"Now that the Japanese army is violating the rules, don't blame our Sichuan army!"

"Okay, okay..." Zhang Zhenhan clapped his hands and applauded, feeling very happy inside.

From the Battle of Songhu to the Battle of Jinling, the 26th Group Army was persecuted by Japanese poison gas. Many soldiers died from the poison gas. Zhang Zhenhan hated this stuff and itched his teeth.

It's just that China's poor chemical engineering capabilities and lack of countermeasures allowed the Japanese army to use poison gas liberally on the Chinese battlefield.

"Poison these beasts!" Zhang Zhenhan looked at Zhang Yun: "Let these beasts also taste the poison gas and pay homage to my fallen soldiers."

Nowadays, Sichuan Province's major infrastructure projects, not only chemical plants, but also automobile plants and arsenals, have been initially completed.

In order to deal with the poison gas bombs of the Japs, the chemical plants in Sichuan Province, after producing the poison gas bombs, sent several special trains to the Sichuan Army in various war zones.

In the Battle of Wuhan, the Ninth Theater was the top priority. Yu Hua specially asked his wife Xiao Ningxin to send several ships of gas bombs to Wuhan. The number was definitely enough for the Sichuan Army.

Since the Sichuan army wanted to use poison gas bombs, Zhang Zhenhan said: "Can our guns reach the Japanese ships on the river?"

"If this ship is not destroyed, it will be detrimental to our future operations."

Zhang Yun nodded: "It's enough. There is an artillery battery behind our division. The car tows four 105mm howitzers. The range of this gun is enough to reach the Japanese ships."

Good guy!
Zhang Zhenhan heard about the 105mm howitzer. The range must be at least [-] or [-] kilometers!
Unexpectedly, the Sichuan Army is now richer than Principal Chang's Central Army, and they all use 105mm howitzers.
