Chapter 45 Chemical Attacks
In the battlefield hospital of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, many wounded soldiers were wailing, many of them wounded by devils who had been smoked and burned by white phosphorous bombs.

Captain Takeda United is also one of them.

Looking at the gauze wrapped on the face of the captain of the Takeda Regiment, Hisao Tani asked, "Takeda-kun, how do you feel today?"

Seeing Hisao Tani's head of the division personally asking about the injury, the leader of the Takeda Alliance couldn't help but burst into tears: "Your Excellency, division head, I'm guilty, I'm sorry!"

Taking the samurai sword from the hands of the captain of the Takeda Regiment, Tani Hisao shouted loudly: "Without my order, you can't die! It's not your fault, but the Chinese army is too cunning to use chemical weapons? Takeda-kun, you are a top student in the chemistry department of the empire, do you know what this weapon is?"

After thinking for a while, the leader of the Takeda Regiment said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to my judgment, the Chinese Army probably used something called white phosphorus as a chemical weapon?"

His eyes froze for a moment, and the head of the division, Gu Hisao, asked: "What is white phosphorus? This thing is so powerful? It has burned so many soldiers, and some of them have difficulty breathing."

The wound on his face hurt slightly, and the leader of the Takeda Regiment said: "Your Excellency, Commander, have you ever seen a wildfire in the countryside!"

Nodding his head, the head of his division Gu Hisao replied: "When I was a child in the countryside, I could often see this kind of thing appearing in the cemetery in the distance! Takeda-kun, you mean..."

Before the words fell, the leader of the Takeda Alliance echoed: "That's it! If it ignites, it can't be extinguished. If it sticks to the skin, you can only reluctantly cut off the piece of meat! The Chinese army doesn't know where to get this weapon. White phosphorus is If there is no high level of scientific research for a chemical, it is impossible for the Chinese industry to produce it on a large scale, let alone use it on the battlefield!"

After pondering for a while, the head of the division, Hisao Gu said: "It's too late to investigate now. The most urgent thing is to find out the specific method to deal with this weapon. I wonder what countermeasures Takeda-kun has?"

The leader of the Takeda Regiment said: "The ignition point of the white phosphorus bomb is too low. Once attached to the clothes and skin, it can burn violently! You can see how powerful it is by looking at my face! There is no solution to this weapon at present! Although this kind of weapon, the gas mask can avoid the poisonous smoke, but once it is contaminated with white phosphorus, it is basically immortal or disabled!"

Taking a breath, His Excellency the head of the division shouted coldly: "Is there really no solution?"

The leader of the Takeda Alliance nodded and said: "We can hide as far as we can when encountering this kind of weapon, but there are ways to do it, but according to the current military industry level of the empire, we are not yet able to defend against the chemical attack of this kind of weapon!"

With a long sigh, the head of the Gu Hisao division said sadly: "It seems that the 88th division on the opposite side is not simple! If this is the case, we have no choice but to treat him in his own way!"

The leader of the Takeda Regiment said: "Tani Hisao means..."

The corner of Gu Hisao's division commander's mouth curled up into a sneer: "Since they use gas bombs, then we also use gas bombs! I have already requested a batch of gas bombs from Commander Matsui."

The leader of the Takeda Regiment said: "This gas bomb is not used well, but even our own soldiers have to be hurt! Besides, we need to be equipped with gas masks when we release poison gas, considering the wind direction. At present, our division has a tenth of the gas mask shortage. , if you make a mistake in using it, and poison our own soldiers to death, your Excellency, Division Commander, you have to think twice!"

The concern of the captain of Takeda, who was born in the Department of Chemistry, is not unreasonable. Gas bombs are really a double-edged sword.

From a military offensive point of view, gas bombs are a highly effective weapon for killing people.

During World War I, the German army took the lead in using a type of poison gas bomb. In the past, the French army positions that required human lives to fill were able to be taken without a single soldier.

There is a poisonous gas called mustard gas that is very lethal. If you encounter it, you will be choked even if you wear a gas mask. In addition, it is also harmful to bare skin.

The gas masks of the Sixth Division were not fully equipped. Once the wind direction changed during the release of poison gas, the consequences would be disastrous.

Gu Shoufu said: "Mr. Takeda, you don't need to worry too much. This time the poisonous gas is the famous mustard gas. If we shoot a wave at Yuhuatai, I think there are still a few who can resist with guns! At that time, my Sixth Division will be able to fight back!" Easily take down the Yuhua Terrace and go straight to the Zhonghua Gate!"

The captain of the Takeda Regiment asked: "This is really against the Bushido spirit advocated by the imperial army. Does our imperial army need to use this method to capture the territory of the Chinese army?"

Suddenly his face became serious, and the commander of Gu Hisao's division scolded: "Baga! If you are asked to attack Yuhuatai again, can you take it? If the fight continues, I will have to pay for several established regiments, the 45th regiment The army has been disabled, I can't let the soldiers of the empire suffer any more losses!"

Gu Shoufu's division commander also had his reasons. After attacking the Yuhuatai position for several days, the China Army was able to fight the Sixth Division unexpectedly.

The 45th Regiment was defeated, and the captain of the 45th Regiment was killed. What's worse, overnight, the 88th Division on the opposite side dared to attack the camp of the [-]th Division at night, destroying a total of eight heavy artillery pieces.

For an elite division, this is a naked provocation!
In any case, Commander Tani Hisao had to play hard this time.

The purpose of war is to defeat the opponent, and there is no need to worry too much about the means.

The use of chemical weapons can not only quickly lose the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, but the troops under Gu Hisao's command were able to occupy Yuhuatai without casualties.

Why not do this kind of profitable combat method?

As for the negative effects of gas bombs, they can be ignored for now.

Victory already requires luck, and Commander Tani Hisao is willing to place this bet.

Commander Tani Hisao believes that the gas masks of the imperial army can withstand the damage of this poisonous gas. As long as the wind direction does not change, great success can be achieved.

The leader of the Takeda Regiment still said: "Your Excellency, division commander, think twice!"

Hisao Gu shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! Take care of your wounds! This afternoon you will see the sun flag of the empire planted on the 82nd height of Yuhuatai!"

The field tent of the commander of Tani Hisao's division.

A ghost second lieutenant wearing a gas mask walked in.

Commander Chao Gushouo saluted, and the devil second lieutenant said: "Reporting Division Commander, according to your request, six base gas bombs have been delivered to the forward position. Here is the list of gas bombs and the specific use method. "

After taking over the list and looking through it, the head of the division, Hisao Tani, showed a smile on his face: "Yo Xi! You have worked hard! Go down and rest! We will launch a chemical bomb attack on the Yuhuatai position in two hours."

With both heels together, the devil second lieutenant straightened his waist and responded, "Hayi! Thank you, Your Excellency, division commander!"

The figure of the second lieutenant Guizi disappeared from the sight of the head of the Gu Shoufu division. The commander of the Gu Shoufu division looked at the list of gas bombs and couldn't help but fell into the longing for victory.

The chemical weapon prominently on the list is mustard gas.

This is a very terrifying chemical weapon.

In the case of no protection during wartime, the eyes and nasal cavity of poisoned soldiers will be injured to varying degrees, and vomiting and suffocation may occur in severe cases.

The Chinese army is not fully equipped, and there is no gas mask for each person. Hisao Tani confidently believes that the defenders of Yuhuatai will have to shoot themselves at that time!

And Gu Hisao's Sixth Division can easily take down the Yuhua Terrace, although it won't be honorable, so what!

Although from the perspective of war ethics, this violates the rules of engagement of the Geneva Convention, but for the militaristic imperial army, it is a joke, and victory is the most important thing.

For Tani Hisao, who values ​​military exploits, it doesn't matter how despicable the means are, the last word is to win Yuhuatai!
