reborn super empire

One-fifth of the people will be unable to participate in the battle for the time being. This result is within Su Dao's tolerance. Su Dao was not relieved until he heard that the armored troops had withdrawn. Although the initial expectation was not beyond Su Dao's Dao's tolerance range, but the next precautions are not sloppy at all.

While the troops were retreating, the artillery brigade also started a new round of bombing. The air force provided coordinates and calibration in front, and the artillery in the rear just kept firing according to the coordinates.Hearing that the Kwantung Army actually used poison gas bombs, all the members of the 99th Army showed angry expressions.

When the Kwantung Army used poison gas bombs, it was not unscrupulous. After a few rounds of artillery attacks, it only fired about a hundred poison gas bombs, but don't underestimate the impact of the hundreds of poison gas bombs. The Japanese are not stupid at all, a hundred gas bombs are enough for them to cover up, if there are more, I am afraid they will really provoke public outrage.

There is a slight westerly wind blowing in the sky today, and the artillerymen of the Kwantung Army obviously made some observations when they fired the poison gas bombs, so most of the shells were fired to a position a little to the west, and more poison gas was blown to the east by the wind , so as to achieve the expected effect of submerging the entire position.

And the 99th Army had to retreat several kilometers back to prevent the poisonous gas from invading. When the yellow gas filled the sky, there was no man's land between the two armies. The Chinese soldiers, or the panicked Kwantung Army, at this moment there is no living thing that can stand in this area.

The harm caused by this poison gas war made no one dare to imagine the losses caused.Even within a few days, it was impossible to count them. When the war started, the 766th Division had more than 5000 people.There are only about 766 people alive today, and the battle lasted only one morning.This caused the 7000 division to lose nearly [-] people. Among them, more than [-] people died during the charge, and nearly [-] people died during the subsequent retreat. The remaining nearly [-] people were all killed because they were too late to retreat. down soldiers.

When a force of more than 5 or nearly 99 people rushes forward with all its strength, a hasty retreat will inevitably cause greater panic. From this incident, it is not difficult to see that the army troops of the 7000th Army are cooperating with each other There are still some deficiencies, otherwise nearly [-] people would not have died under the poisonous gas.

silence.There was deathly silence, and no one dared to make any noise in the 99th Army headquarters, which was still extremely chaotic before. Holding the telegram sent back from the front line, Su Dao silently shed two lines of tears.

7000 people died from the poisonous gas. If they all died in a normal battle, Su Dao would not only feel angry, but also respect his opponent and would not use any despicable means to attack the enemy.But now 7000 people died in unconventional fighting, this is a reality that Su Dao can't accept anyway.

Su Dao quietly took off his military cap, and silently lowered his head in the direction of the 766th Division, letting the two lines of tears slide down his cheeks and drip onto the ground.Seeing this, other people in the military headquarters also took off their military caps one after another, and bowed their heads in the direction of the 766th Division.

After a long time, Su Dao slowly raised his head.He wiped away the tears on his face indiscriminately, trying to control his emotions as much as possible.Others only saw Su Dao's glory, but they didn't see Su Dao working hard where others couldn't.Many people are envious of Su Dao being promoted from a captain to lieutenant general in less than a year after returning to China. Su Dao's promotion path is indeed very dazzling in the eyes of others, and they are also very envious.

But they will never know that there is always a place deep in Su Dao's heart, which will always contain him. For those soldiers who died following him in battle, the army could not confirm their home addresses in order to prevent the soldiers from dying. Su Dao specially asked the soldiers to write their names, detailed home addresses, and family members on paper, and then put them in the helmets, so that they could confirm that the news could be sent back to their homes after they were killed.

In order to make up for the dedication these soldiers have made to the motherland, since Su Dao joined the Nationalist Army, he has not even received a penny of military pay, a single gun, or a single bullet from the central government. The army, no matter when, his military salary is the highest, and the money is obtained by Su Dao through various means.

Although Su Dao already felt very strenuous in order to maintain the livelihood of the troops, he still felt that what he had done was far from enough. In this troubled world, no one could value his own life more than himself, but they gave up for the sake of national righteousness. With the hope of life, Su Dao has always felt that he has always been ashamed of his soldiers.

This is also the reason why he can allow his subordinates to joke with him, and it is also because Peng Yongchang contradicted him face to face, which was basically equivalent to scolding him, but he still didn't think about wearing small shoes for him, except for loving talent , Su Dao also respects the dignity of the soldiers, and it is precisely this way that the 99th Army can trust Su Dao so much, and has been following Su Dao to fight in the north and south, and did not hesitate to come to the northeast.

'Snapped!Snapped! '

Su Dao clapped his hands heavily, waking up those staff officers and other officers who were still mourning silently. After raising their heads, they all put on their military caps, waiting for Su Dao's next instruction.

"Cheer up, these seven thousand brothers will not die in vain, what to do next, Xiao Chen, ask Tang Pingyao to come over, old Wu, let me know, the army will issue new benefits after the battle is over, The pensions of the soldiers who died in this war will be implemented according to the new welfare benefits." Su Dao said, holding back the pain in his heart.

The new benefits were actually drawn up by Su Dao a long time ago. Before that, it was only because of lack of money that they had been dragging on like this, and they hadn’t been announced. But now Su Dao plans to stop hiding it. This crushed the straw that suppressed guilt in Su Dao's heart, and now Su Dao even felt that if he didn't make any changes, he would be in pain.Everyone heard that Su Dao said that new benefits would be issued, and they all looked at Su Dao in disbelief. Now the treatment of the 99th Army is the best in the country, and even soldiers who have just joined the army for less than a year, The military salary they can get is more than that of the veterans who have been in the army for two years in the Central Army. If new benefits are issued, how terrible should their military salary be?

Tang Pingyao is the brigade commander of the artillery brigade. When Tang Pingyao was called here at this critical moment, Su Dao naturally planned to fight back. Gas bombs are not limited to the Japanese. Su Dao's equipment atlas is not a joke, as long as it is from World War II How many gas bombs can he not exchange for?

It turned out that in line with the principle of not using chemical weapons at will, Su Dao never dared to order the troops to use chemical weapons. Even when the Battle of Lanfeng was so urgent, he did not order the use of gas bombs.It wasn't because Su Dao was a nice guy, but because the Japanese army on the opposite side didn't use chemical weapons, and because it was the Central Plains, the use of chemical weapons would definitely have a serious impact on the local people.

Now the actions of the Kwantung Army have completely angered Su Dao, play gas bombs with me, see if I don't play with you to death.Your gas bomb took the lives of my brother Qiqian, and my gas bomb took the lives of your entire army to be buried with you.Su Dao secretly shouted in his heart.

The distance between the artillery position and the military headquarters is not too far, at most three or four kilometers away. When the military seat called, Tang Pingyao rushed over directly in a truck pulling the cannon, and it only took more than ten minutes. , Tang Pingyao appeared in front of Su Dao.

"Army seat!" Tang Pingyao stood in front of Su Dao with red eyes. When he heard the news that the Kwantung Army had launched poison gas bombs to the front line, the angry Tang Pingyao ignored his identity as brigade commander, took off his coat and ran directly to the front. After setting up the position, he and the soldiers worked together to lift the shells one after another, and angrily sent them to the opposite position. At this time, Tang Pingyao, who was standing in front of Su Dao, had mud all over his face and white shirt. It's like a clay figurine.

"Did Group D go to the battle?" Seeing Tang Pingyao's arrival, Su Dao asked directly without any other polite words.

Group D, this is the only unit in the 99th Army named with letters, and the reason for choosing this letter is also because of the special nature of its units. In other words, they are actually the chemical weapons group, but anyone who mentions chemical weapons units , it is inevitable that the word poisonous gas will come to mind, and Su Dao named this army from the initials of the word poisonous gas.

Its size is not large, only five 105mm howitzers, usually mixed in the artillery brigade, like other troops, they should march and do whatever they want, the only difference is that their shells are transported separately and secretly. Although they only have five howitzers, their logistics force has a full battalion.

It's just that they always stay far away when fighting. Since the formation of the Artillery Brigade, they have never fired a shell on the battlefield, because the soldiers below don't understand why they don't go to the battlefield, and even made troubles. There were few jokes, but if Tang Pingyao hadn't come forward, the two sides would probably have fought.

"Now they are drawing the artillery to the position, and the soldiers have already started to prepare. It is estimated that they can carry out the mission within 10 minutes." Tang Pingyao took a deep breath and replied a little excitedly.

In fact, Tang Pingyao ordered Group D to enter the position as early as he learned that the Kwantung Army released poisonous gas. As for their position, they started building positions like other troops when they first arrived. Instead of pulling the artillery to the position, it hid it in the distance.

"Sarin gas bomb, one artillery shell within two kilometers, cover shooting, order the guards of your brigade to stay within three kilometers around Group D, and no one is allowed to enter. The Air Force will calibrate for you. We must retaliate. Any one of the Kwantung Army in front of you escapes and executes!" (To be continued...)
