62. The Last Killer Feature

Motegi called Shintaro Umei and said in a low voice: "Umei-kun, you and I have never encountered such a powerful opponent since the landing of the army in Korea to the war in Manchuria. Now the entire outer positions of the battlefield have been disrupted by the Chinese army, and the internal positions have also been infiltrated, mixed, and collided, and they have been chaotic. For now, there is only one way, and this is also the last resort of the imperial army......"

Shintaro Umei already knew what Motegi meant, so he said: "General Motegi, the amount is not a gentleman, and he is not a poisonous husband, it's time to be ruthless and give them something powerful......"

Motegi Maenotsuki waved his right hand into a fist, and finally made up his mind, and said: "Umei-kun, it's not that the imperial army is too ruthless, but that the conscience of the 41st Army is greatly broken, and it dares to go all the way to oppose the Kwantung Army. Do unkind to them, do unrighteousness to us......

For the sake of the Yamato nation to occupy China step by step, and for the honor of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, you should go and inform the poison gas team, and I have to pray to Amaterasu......"

Shintaro Umei listened to his rare gentle and low-key underground orders, and knew that General Motegi's iron blood was iron blood, and he was still secretive about the use of poison gas, and he also prayed to Amaterasu, also to find a stand-in or excuse for his conscience. He is not only devout to Amaterasu, but also mainly wants Amaterasu to bear this conscience debt for him.

Motegi Mae Zhizhu studied Sun Tzu's art of war deeply, and he understood that "soldiers who surrender without fighting", and at the same time, poison gas is something that cannot be moved lightly, first of all, as soon as the poison gas is released, the defenders will suffer greatly, and the nearest Japanese army will also be more or less poisoned, this fact, poison gas experts can not explain. In addition, gas warfare and chemical warfare are things that are strictly forbidden by the League of Nations and international law......

Umei also has a bit of an opinion about Motegi, although he has followed Motegi for many years, and has been in the smoke of war, and he has been saddled up all night before and after the horse, and he only obeys his orders. But in front of me, you Motegi went to pray to Amaterasu to shirk the responsibility, can I, Shintaro Umei, take this responsibility?

The 117th Brigade and the 18th Regiment of the defending army fought desperately from the north and east, the remnants of the 118th Brigade attacked from the southwest and south from the southwest and south with the experience of the Battle of Shanshui Slope, and the 119th Brigade (missing one and a half regiments) stepped up to attack on the wide front of the south; There are also individual direct teams that are also constantly attacking......

Although the attrition on both sides is very large, and even the defenders will be larger than the Japanese army, the defenders have an absolute advantage in numbers, and there are reserves to be sent...... At the same time, the 117th Brigade fought a more active offensive battle than other units, and the regiments cooperated with each other to attack the west, and the 19th Wing could hardly support it......

The situation on the battlefield was becoming more and more unfavorable for the Japanese army. Shintaro Umei can't take care of that much anymore, whether he is Amaterasu or not, and he can't take care of his conscience. He went out and said to a herald, "Hiroya-kun, go and pass my order, ask Captain Kuroba of the poison gas team to run to meet me, and order the gas team to prepare for ......"

Herald Hiroya snapped and said, "Hai." He turned and ran down a hidden passage. After a while, Captain Kuroba wore a chemical protective suit and stumbled to the headquarters, and he was panting heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

As early as 1915, the army and navy successively researched and produced poison gas, and successively set up schools to serve chemical warfare, training more than 30,000 students, all of whom were sent to China, Taiwan, and Nanyang. Kurohara, formerly known as Kutaro Kurohara.

After graduating in 1925, he was ordered to come to Manchuria to serve in the Japanese army's chemical warfare and bacteriological warfare.

At the end of 1932, the biochemical squad (also known as the Kuroba squad of the Manchurian water supply force, internally known as the poison gas squad) received an order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters and was subordinate to the 4th Brigade of the Motegi Cavalry. It is said that it is a squad, but it is actually based on the biochemical indicators of the squadron to be reinforced.

At this time, Chief of Staff Shintaro Umei had already ordered several staff officers and adjutants to first set up a channel for the release of poison gas at the position of the 7th Wing according to the battlefield situation and the current situation.

The second lieutenant of the wing's staff team, with the order of Kameda Helpless Osa, led the Kuroba team to the 222 position and asked them to spray poison gas on the most fiercely beaten defender position in the west.

Captain Kameda and Chief of Staff Oda Tongo laughed out loud in the headquarters, and they felt that they had grasped a life-saving straw, because their wing was too attritional and their command was ineffective.

The leader of the Kuroba squad ordered the two lieutenants to covertly take out their anemometers and measure the direction of the wind within a radius of 100 meters. At the same time, Kurohara found that the positions were staggered, that is, the wind direction was suitable, and the situation of this position would also be a defeat for both sides, maybe the defenders did not hurt much, but the imperial army hurt more.

Captain Kuroba saw the two sides fighting again, the bullets roared and went straight to the east and west, north and south, the sword and the sword, and the blood stained the mountains and rivers, and hurriedly greeted the captain of Kameda Wufu, Kameda Wufu and Oda Tongo listened to Kuroba's report and stayed in place, their hearts were as cold as water. Kuroba quickly took the squad and withdrew to the brigade headquarters along the same route.

When Motegi and Umei learned what Captain Kurohara said, they were so anxious that they wilted, and everyone in the headquarters tacitly became anxious.

Yamaoka Jie of the Seventh Wing called the brigade headquarters and said, "General, our Imperial Japanese Army has never been involved in such a dangerous place. For today's situation, there is only one way to break through the siege......"

Motegi was so anxious that he threw his hat on the table and said angrily: "Yaga, where did the evil energy of the Chinese army come from, everyone dares to pick a knife, and everyone has to fight hard? All of them have entered my position......"

Yamaoka Jie Dazuo said again: "General, I have been going to tell you about this question a long time ago, since he was attacked by him at night in Damajiawan, our department has detected that there are some Communists in the 41st Army, according to the interpreter who was captured by them and fled back, these ** are also called red elements, and they have recruited a group of students and teachers from some schools or universities along the way to form a student corps.

These people are highly educated, have ideas, and are most inclined to the anti-Japanese proposition, and some of them have been developed into Communist Party members or Communist Youth League members on the way to ......"

Motegi snorted, remembering something...... said: "Shangang-kun, you go on." ”

Shan Gangjie continued: "General, let's withdraw first, the morale of the Zhina army, let's talk about it later, in today's battlefield situation, you gather your troops and withdraw first, our 17th Wing will be broken......

Motegi also made a difficulty, it was really difficult to fight, and it was even more difficult to evacuate. It is not the consistent practice of our bears to protect their handsomeness. It was almost afternoon, and they did not withdraw from the battlefield, and they were afraid that their men would be good at night attacks.

Shintaro Ume has already drawn up a list of troops to be withdrawn and those that may be withdrawn with his staff officers, a rough list.

Motegi took a look, the Seventh Wing withdrew the least, and less than half of the Wing; The 19th Wing was able to withdraw all the teams under its command, plus less than two squadrons; Brigade and regimental units, including poison gas squads, can be withdrawn......

If the 17th Wing is broken, it is still unknown how many people will be able to withdraw in the end......

Motegi was so anxious that he was in a cold sweat, and the people were trembling, gritted his teeth and said: "The forty-first army, Sun Dianying, I, Motegi, will come back......"
