Chapter 103: The whole line is in an emergency
At this moment, several poisonous gas bombs also fell into the middle of their crowd, and the highly toxic gas in the roar suddenly walked on the front line, and many soldiers inhaled these poisonous gases before they had time to react. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, the faces of these soldiers instantly became extremely painful, and their hands kept clutching their throats, trying to speak but could not say anything, but made strange gurgling sounds.
"Plug your nose! The communication corps quickly notified the anti-virus platoon"! Li Zuo shouted and hurriedly blocked his nose.
"Retreat! Evacuate! "A battalion commander shouted, he didn't go to plug his nose and stood on a high place and shouted loudly.
"Cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth, be quick! If you don't have water, pee! Move fast! Quick..."
His words had a great effect, and many soldiers hurriedly poured water to wet their clothes, tore them off and wrapped them around their noses, and soldiers who did not have water also urinated and put their clothes wet on them.
At this moment, the face of the battalion commander, who had inhaled too much poisonous gas, gradually showed a look of pain, and his body fell to the ground violently, and a mouthful of white foam spat out of his mouth, but after a while, he was already exhausted.
Although this is the case, in this short period of effort, there are nearly a battalion of soldiers on the front line who have been deeply poisoned, and some have died of foaming at the mouth, while the soldiers on the front line who are hidden in the cat's ear hole are almost dead at this time.
In just a few minutes, seven or eight hundred people were poisoned, and more than 500 people were killed in battle.
And this was just the beginning, as a burst of poisonous gas filled with highly toxic gas roared and exploded in the hillside.
"Pull it down, get out"! Li Zuo shouted.
The crowd hurriedly lifted some of the wounded soldiers and withdrew behind the mountain, and the Japanese were only 100 meters away from their forward position.
"Hurry up and inform the regiment commander, the devil used poison gas, the front line suffered extremely heavy casualties, and the devil attacked again to ask for support, otherwise the position will not be able to hold"! Li Zuo shouted.
"Yes"!
The gag-gagged ones are ready to hit the Japanese troops, and the rest quickly carry the wounded soldiers down"! Li Zuo commanded.
At this time, the Japanese army had already stepped directly on the front-line position all the way unhindered, and Li Zuo shouted: "Prepare to detonate"!
"Deputy commander, the detonator is on the second-line position"! A soldier hurriedly shouted.
"Get a shovel!" Li Zuo cursed.
At this moment, a small number of anti-gas platoons of the 60th Army finally came, and I saw that they were all wearing masks stuffed with cotton, and these masks were already soaked, and they were holding a few gas masks in their hands.
"A row! Put on a gas mask and go down to detonate the explosives! Heavy machine guns fire at Lao Tzu to suppress! ”
"Yes"!
At the same time, at the regimental headquarters behind the defensive line, Zeng Zesheng slapped the table violently and said, "What's the matter?" has not yet fought one or two lines of defense and all retreated"!
"Regiment commander, the devil has gassed the front with heavy casualties, the defense line is about to collapse, and the deputy regiment commander asks for reinforcements!" The communications soldier said in a hurry.
"Poison gas! The little devil actually used poison gas, how about the specific situation in front"? Zeng Zesheng said angrily.
Six or seven hundred people were killed, several hundred wounded, and the strength of the two battalions was almost completely gone." The correspondent cried.
"Howl like that, such a **** little devil! Inform Lao Tzu to everyone, including the guys in the cooking class, take weapons to Lao Tzu, cover his mouth with a wet towel and say to the front line to fight the Japanese army, if anyone dares to escape, Lao Tzu will personally kill him! ”
"Yes"!
After finishing speaking, Zeng Zesheng picked up the phone and shook his mouth and said: "Commander, the little devil used poison gas, the casualties on the front line are extremely heavy, and the position may be lost, so I beg for reinforcements quickly!"
"What? ... Okay, I'll send reinforcements, you must resist it!" Zhang Chong said.
"I don't know if I can withstand it, but as long as I'm alive, this is still our position, and I'm going to the front line to command"!
Without waiting for Zhang Chong to say, Zeng Zesheng put down the phone, took out a broken step slip, put it in the basin, stirred it and wrapped it around his face, then picked up a 79 rifle, installed a bayonet, and said to the guard: "Bring a bottle of water to Lao Tzu"!
Saying that, Zeng Zesheng walked out directly. The same situation was also staged on the position of Yang Hongyuan's regiment, and the sudden poisonous gas also caused heavy casualties to Yang Hongyuan's regiment, but the position of Yang Hongyuan's regiment was relatively less important than Zeng Zesheng's, and there were mostly mountains and forests behind, and they also had a defensive line in the mountains and forests, so Yang Hongyuan's regiment withdrew to the position in the forest to defend after paying heavy casualties.
On the front line, almost all the Japanese troops had already reached the first-line position, and hundreds of people were about to arrive at the second-line position, and at this moment, a platoon of soldiers who had changed into gas masks rushed down to the second-line position.
There are also many explosive packs buried deep in the front-line position, once detonated, a large number of Japanese soldiers can be killed and injured, just now everyone was forced to the edge of the mountain forest by poison gas, and forgot the detonator in a panic, this can rush to the second-line position to detonate the detonator, otherwise so many Japanese troops charged up, how could their soldiers of less than 1,000 people be able to fight in the poison gas and the completely superior Japanese army?
As soon as the soldiers of this platoon rushed out, they attracted the attention of the Japanese troops, and the Japanese troops below the mountain opened fire one after another.
A few soldiers were hit by Japanese bullets and died on the ground as soon as they rushed a few steps, while the rest of the soldiers were still rushing down.
"Heavy machine gun fire is a little stronger"! Li Zuo shouted.
As soon as Li Zuo finished shouting, he rushed down and took off the gas mask on the face of the soldier he had just killed, and then rolled and hid in the road traffic trench.
The soldiers who rushed out had already caught fire with the Japanese troops, and the Japanese troops at this time were only about 10 meters away from the second-line position.
In the face of the fierce fire of the Japanese army, dozens of people could not stop it at all, and after a while, the entire platoon was actually dead, and only one platoon commander was left and was shot in the shoulder by the Japanese army.
Just as the Japanese rushed closer, Li Zuo grabbed the detonator placed in the trench and pressed it violently.
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
The earth shook violently, and everyone's ears were deafening roars, and most of the Japanese troops on the front-line positions were instantly engulfed in flames, especially those Japanese soldiers closest to the bombing point, and even their bodies turned into flying ashes in an instant.
In an instant, about a squadron of Japanese troops was blown up in a violent explosion, and even if they did not die, they completely lost their combat effectiveness.
Similarly, the violent explosion set off the earth and stones, and instantly knocked Li Zuo to the ground, and a series of earth and stones almost crushed his entire body.
At this moment, on the last position, Zeng Zesheng stepped forward with a rifle, and behind him were all the still alive personnel of the entire regiment, including the guy who usually cooked in the cooking class, Zeng Zesheng glanced at the Japanese soldiers who were charging up and said: "Brothers! We must not allow the Japanese to break through from our positions and give me a hard blow"!
The Japanese troops who had just rushed to the second-line positions fell one after another under strong firepower, but how could the Japanese troops retreat easily when they finally stepped onto the second-line positions, and continued to charge and shoot under the help that they had gas masks.
The same was true of Yang Hongyuan's regiment at this time, after the explosives in the front-line position were detonated, everyone could only organize a defensive line in the woods to block the Japanese offensive, and both sides were in full swing, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the reserves of Zhang Chong's four battalions were sent by him and his limited cars were used to reinforce rapidly, and those who could not sit in the car were also advancing at full speed, because once the defense line of Zeng Zesheng and Yang Hongyuan collapsed, it would shake the defense line of the entire group army, plus they had only been here for three days, in addition to the fortifications on the forward position, the fortifications of the follow-up troops were still being repaired, if the front line collapsed, the Japanese army attacked and they could only continue to fight with the Japanese army in the mountains and forests.
Since the beginning of the battle, the Chinese army has been under heavy artillery fire from the Japanese army, and even these mountains and forests would not be enough to stop the fierce Japanese offensive if there were no fortifications.
Ahead, the battle was fierce, and many soldiers were firing with all their might, not even caring that the strips of cloth on their mouths and noses had dried, and some machine gunners had been poisoned by the Japanese gas when they were firing.
"When the water is dry, get it wet"! Zeng Zesheng shouted.
Everyone hurriedly changed the strips of cloth, and the soldiers who had not yet dried were still firing fiercely, and kept throwing grenades, and the Japanese troops were also suffering heavy casualties, but none of them retreated.
On the other side of the battle group, Lu Hai and the others had now touched the periphery of the Japanese artillery position.
"Why is the Japanese army's shells different from the previous ones?" Lu Hai said as he observed.
"I'll take a look". Li Zheng said.
Lu Hai handed the telescope to Li Zheng, Li Zheng glanced at it, and his face changed instantly: "No, this is not an ordinary shell, this is a poison gas bomb"!
"Gas bombs"? Lu Hai's face changed dramatically.
"Oh no, there are only more than a hundred gas masks in our brigade, so the brothers on the battlefield..."Chen Liang didn't even dare to continue.
"Look at measuring the distance of these artillerymen, notify the brigade commander, request artillery support"! Lu Hai said.
After a while, Li Fan spoke: "The distance of fifteen kilometers is within the range of our heavy artillery, but the angle they chose is too tricky, and our shells will basically hit the mountain in front of us, and the artillery can't do anything!"
Lu Hai frowned and pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what, no matter what, we have to take this artillery position, but this time the number of Japanese defenders is too large, our number is not denied, if Li Fan uses mortars, are you sure?"
Li Fan measured for a while and said: "This angle is not good, I need to advance 500 meters, so that I can be sure"!
"Okay, we'll cover your advance, and we'll have to give me this artillery position!"
"Wait a minute, let's cover our mouth and nose with a damp cloth to prevent the explosion of the gas bomb from reaching us." Li Zheng suggested.
"Plug your mouth and nose with moisture." Lu Hai ordered.
After a while, everyone was ready, Lu Hai pointed forward with his right hand, and everyone carefully touched the artillery position where the Japanese poison gas bombs were being fired. (To be continued.) )
