The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Tianjin, Little Devil's North China Front Army Command.

The newly appointed commander of the North China Front, Hisao Nishio, now feels extremely aggrieved in his heart, but he can't vent his unhappiness, which makes Hisao Nishio's face look very ugly.

Hisao Nishio had already read the telegram sent by the 39th Division of Tangshan Little Devils, but for a while, Hisao Nishio had no good solution.

Now, the vanguard of the Kwantung Army's reinforcements has been wiped out by the No.30 Sixth Army, and the Kwantung Army has suspended going south to reinforce its North China Front Army. Nishio Hisao already knows this.

In the past, Nishio Shouzo placed his hopes on the Kwantung Army, hoping that the Kwantung Army could help him. Unexpectedly, even the Kwantung Army was defeated by the No.30 Sixth Army. [

There was no good countermeasure for the time being, Hisao Nishio had no choice but to walk up and down in the huge command hall of the little devils, the officers of the little devils on the side also had their heads down, and the little devils officers also had no good solution for the time being.

Just when all the little devils were downcast, the chief of staff of the little devils walked in quickly, with a happy face, and shouted happily: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the two who came by boat from the mainland of our country Divisions, the 71st and 72nd divisions have already landed at Tianjin Port."

"That's great!"

Hearing this, Nishio Hisoka was in a great mood.

Now, it was the time when the little devil's North China Front Army was stretched out. Unexpectedly, at this time of urgent need for troops, the two divisions assigned to him by the base camp would arrive in Tianjin.

Now, the little devil has more than 90 divisions.There are more than 40 divisions in mainland China, including the Kwantung Army, North China Front Army, Central China Front Army, etc., with a total of nearly 200 million troops.

These 200 million troops include more than 40 field divisions, many mixed brigades and garrison brigades, cavalry and aircraft, and armored units, as well as some supplementary regiments, but do not include the puppet army and puppet Manchukuo troops.

Among them, the Kwantung Army numbered nearly 70 at most.The second is the North China Front Army with nearly 50 people, and the rest are distributed in several other front armies.

There are more than 90 divisions of the little devil, except for more than 40 divisions in mainland China.There are 20 divisions that have just been formed, and the rest are basically fighting in Southeast Asia.

Now, the little devil is trying to deal with the United States.For the upcoming Pacific War, the little devil conducted a large-scale conscription and formed 20 divisions in one go, with division numbers ranging from the 71st Division to the 90th Division.

Among the newly formed divisions, the Little Devils Base Camp plans to allocate 4 to 5 divisions to the North China Front Army, mainly to resist the No.30 Sixth Army's massive counterattack.

The 71st and 72nd divisions were the first of these 4 to 5 divisions to arrive in Tianjin. It won't be long before the next two or three divisions will land in China one after another and be incorporated into the battle order of the North China Front Army.

so.Just now, when he heard that the first two divisions had arrived at Tianjin Port, Commander Nishio Hisao, the little devil, was elated and swept away his depressed and aggrieved mood before.

Seeing that Hisao Nishio was in a good mood, the little devil's chief of staff immediately said: "Your Excellency, Commander, according to the plan of the base camp. The two or three divisions that will be incorporated into us will reach Tianjin within half an hour at the latest."

Upon hearing such good news, Hisao Nishio laughed wantonly.

After laughing, Hisao Nishio felt that he had more confidence now, and immediately ordered: "After the 71st and 72nd Divisions disembark, they will immediately go to the front line of Tangshan. This time, I will give a good lesson to the No.30 Sixth Army. "

It is said that many little devils in the entire headquarters are slightly looking forward to it. With the 71st and 72nd Divisions heading to Tangshan, there will be three divisions in Tangshan, the 39th Division and the 71st Division. , The 72nd Division, a total of [-] to [-] troops.

Together with the troops from Beiping, Baoding, Tianjin and other places, the total strength in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area would be 10,000+. With such a large number of troops, the confidence of the little devils was unprecedentedly high.

*****************************[

Northeast suburb of Tangshan.

The first regiment of mechanized infantry was heading towards Tangshan, the little devil's first line of defense had been broken through, and all the little devils in the way were killed.

Cooperating with the first regiment of mechanized infantry, there are also soldiers from two infantry regiments. These three regiments, a huge team, are slowly approaching the little devil's second line of defense.

The cavalry regiment followed these three regiments far away. Once the mechanized infantry regiment rushed to the little devil's position, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment would ride their horses and rush up to kill or "shoot" the little devil. .

Now, the first mechanized infantry regiment and the two infantry regiments are in complete battle formation, and behind each off-road vehicle or Type 39 armored personnel carrier are soldiers from at least one or two infantry squads.

Everyone moved forward slowly, and the soldiers of the infantry regiment trotted to keep up. The terrain here is flat and wide, and the field of vision is very good, and you can see far away.

Far ahead, the soldiers saw that the little devils had dug several parallel trenches. There were many little devils in the trenches. Every trench could hardly be seen from both sides, at least two kilometers long.

The distance between these parallel trenches ranges from 300 meters to 600 meters. It seems that the little devil's second line of defense is ahead.

In front of the second line of defense of the little devils, the little devils also dug an anti-tank trench in order to deal with the tanks of the No.30 Sixth Army. Obviously, the purpose of the little devils to dig this anti-tank trench is to To stop the soldiers' tanks from advancing.

The terrain here is flat, and the trenches are very good fortifications. It seems that the little devil has learned to be smart now, digging so many trenches, and also dug anti-tank trenches.

"Comrades! Prepare to fight!"

Seeing the little devil's defense line ahead, many commanders shouted orders.

Ahead, on the little devil's position.

The little devils saw from a distance that the No.30 Sixth Army's team was slowly "pressing" towards them, and many little devils also began to prepare for battle and start shooting.

In this huge little devil position, there is a little devil infantry regiment with a total of more than 3000 little devils. At this time, the little devils are already in full formation, waiting for the soldiers to rush over.

On the outskirts of Tangshan, on the huge second line of defense, the little devils built a large number of trenches and deployed nearly [-] troops. The purpose of the little devils was obvious, which was to prevent the soldiers from entering Tangshan City.

At this time, not only was the battle here imminent, but the soldiers were also gradually approaching the little devil's position in the other directions. The situation was similar to that here.

Some mortars and infantry guns of the little devils have also been erected, and many little devils are carrying boxes of shells. If you look carefully at these shell boxes, you will find that these shell boxes are somewhat different from ordinary shell boxes. the difference.

On each shell box, there is a yellow "1" marked. These little devil artillerymen are also different from before, all wearing gas masks and rubber gloves.

It seems that the little devils are preparing to use poison gas bombs on the No.30 Sixth Army that is slowly approaching in the distance.

The types of poisonous gases used by the Japanese army are generally tear-jerking phenyl chlorophenone, vomiting "biphenyl arsenic chloride and biphenyl arsenic cyanide", erosive "mustard gas" and "Lewis gas", and occasionally asphyxiation. Sexual phosgene, potassium chloride-based pyridine and cyanic acid gas.

In order to cover up the crime of conducting poison gas warfare, the Japanese army formulated a strict secrecy system, stipulating that poison gas is called special smoke, and the marks on ammunition and ammunition boxes must be removed before they can be delivered to troops. For chemical ammunition, the Japanese army printed red or blue and several other color marking bands on the chemical ammunition. [

For example: yellow 1 means mustard gas, yellow 2 means Lewis erosive gas, brown means potassium cyanate, blue means carbonyl chloride, red means arsenic cyanide.

This time, these shell boxes were marked with the word "1" in yellow. Obviously, the little devils used erosive mustard gas bombs.

Mustard gas is a corrosive agent that is effective on the eyes, respiratory tract and skin.It can cause redness, swelling, and even ulceration of the skin.Eye contact may cause conjunctivitis, corneal clouding or ulceration.Inhalation of steam or mist can damage the upper respiratory tract, and high concentrations can cause lung damage. Severe damage manifests as necrotic inflammation of the throat, trachea, and bronchial mucosa.

Symptoms of poisoning include general malaise, fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, depression, lethargy and other central depression and parasympathetic excitement.Severe poisoning can cause death.

Seeing that the No. 30 Sixth Army is too strong, the little devils are going to repeat the old trick and use corrosive mustard gas bombs on the No. 30 Sixth Army that liberated Tangshan.

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the little devils have used poison gas bombs more than once. In a series of large-scale battles such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Defense Battle of Wuhan, the little devils used a large number of poison gas bombs on the Chinese army.

During the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army used poison gas more than 370 times and fired more than 4 poison gas bombs, poisoning tens of thousands of Chinese anti-Japanese officers and soldiers, with a poisoning rate of 80%.

In the battle of Guangji alone, the Japanese army used a large amount of poison gas, causing more than 2000 Chinese officers and soldiers to be poisoned and injured.

It is not the first time that the little devils have used gas bombs. Today, the little devils are going to use gas bombs against the No.30 Sixth Army.

The little devil's artillery was ready soon. The little devil's gas bombs can be fired with mortars and infantry guns. Therefore, the little devil seems very skilled. There are thousands of meters, and the little devils are ready for the front.

The little devil major who commanded the launch of the gas bomb looked at the soldiers approaching slowly with a telescope. The little devil grinned all over his face. They will fire gas bombs.
