Chapter 139: In the final battle, the gas bomb reappeared

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

The Tiger Ben Regiment waved its troops all the way to cover the kill!

In order to speed up the evacuation, the devil soldiers could only abandon the ruins of the buildings that were heavily blocked and go to the streets and alleys instead.

As a result, he was killed by the tiger group, and the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were everywhere.

When he was still about 150 meters away from the East City Gate, Yang Jing suddenly stopped his pursuit, raised his hand and ordered the monkey and others behind him: "Okay!" Stop the pursuit! ”

The monkey was puzzled: "Company commander, why don't you chase it?" ”

"Because if we pursue again, we will be the ones who will be beaten!" Yang Jing pointed to the east gate in front of him through the ruins of the building, and said, "Poor Kou Mo chase!" Do you still see the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that the devils set up on the castle in front of you?

As long as we pursue a few dozen meters further, we will leave the construction area and will be exposed to the fire range of the devil's heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns! ”

The monkey said: "Tuanzao, didn't we kill a lot of devils' heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns before, besides, the artillery battalion will soon come up to support."

We don't need to be scared at all, huh? ”

Yang Jing said in a deep voice: "Do you naively think that snipers are omnipotent in street battles, and they can decide the outcome of a war with a single gun, right?" ”

The monkey, as well as the few sharpshooters behind him, even the soldiers couldn't help but nod subconsciously.

This is not blind self-confidence, but they really think that as long as Yang Jing is there, it is enough to decide the victory or defeat and defeat the Japanese army!

The monkey even counted the numbers from beginning to end, and in just over half an hour of counter-assault battle, Yang Jing killed at least 60 devils with one shot per person.

More than half of them are machine gunners of devils, as well as junior officers.

If you are not a picky eater, you will kill the devil, and this efficiency can at least be doubled!

Yang Jing said: "Snipers can play a vital role in street fighting, and even in any battle!" But you have to remember that if you encounter heavy machine guns and flat-fire guns, you still have to go around as much as possible!

Because snipers are also human beings, after all, they are flesh and blood, and if they hit a machine gun bullet or a battle defense artillery shell, they will hang up!

Especially when the position is exposed, the sniper is actually very vulnerable!

Kill the enemy invisibly, that's what a sniper should do, not charge! ”

The monkeys, as well as the soldiers of the sharpshooter company, nodded solemnly.

…………

Knowing that the well-planned attack of the 20th Infantry Wing ended in defeat again, the face of the old devil Kusaba Tatsuya suddenly turned into a pig's liver color.

Two hours earlier, he had told his chief of staff, Ikeda, that this Watanabe Takemasa was not easy and was likely to surprise them with a big surprise.

As a result, Watanabe's performance disappointed him!

Slap in the face!

It's still the crackling kind!

Seeing that His Excellency the Brigade Commander showed a disappointed expression, Chief of Staff Ikeda said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Watanabe-kun, it seems that the quality of military teaching in Berlin is not necessarily much better than that of the Imperial Army University!" The so-called familiar street fighting, after all, is just talk on paper! ”

"Hello!"

Win or lose, for the loser, any explanation seems redundant.

Therefore, although Watanabe Takemasa's face was flushed, he didn't say a word of explanation, just 'snapped' and straightened up, and paused heavily.

Ikeda was about to continue to make sarcastic remarks, but was interrupted by Tatsumi Kusaba raising his hand.

Kusaba Tatsushi said, "Watanabe-kun, I believe you did some research on street fighting, so I'm curious, how did this attack you command fail?" ”

Watanabe Takemasa said suddenly: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I don't want to make excuses for defeat, but I must say that the commander of the Chinese Army on the opposite side is better at fighting street battles than me!"

Moreover, there are a large number of excellent snipers in the Chinese army that are comparable to the imperial army, as well as artillery! ”

Ikeda sneered angrily: "You also said that you don't want to find a reason for the defeat, you are clearly justifying your own incompetence!" ”

"Hello!" This time, Watanabe Takemasa did not evade, but paused and said: "I was incompetent, and I failed to capture Kunshan City and defeat the enemy, which disappointed Your Excellency the Brigade Commander and the Chief of Staff!"

Please give your excellency the brigade commander and the chief of staff a heavier punishment in accordance with military regulations! ”

Seeing that Ikeda was getting angry, he was about to continue to speak, but was stopped again by Tatsumi Kusaba raising his hand.

Kusaba had already raised his hand to look at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only about two hours before it got dark.

If you are full of battles, you may not be able to launch an attack!

What made him most anxious was that according to the current situation, even if he launched another attack, he might not be able to successfully capture Kunshan City.

In the face of this mysterious and powerful tiger group, his self-confidence was hit like never before.

It gives birth to a deep sense of powerlessness!

Originally, the order of His Excellency the division commander was that Kunshan City must be taken early this morning.

After that, the extension of the deadline to the afternoon was already the greatest grace for His Excellency the Division Commander.

Of course, there is a precedent for the 30th Infantry Brigade to be defeated yesterday and almost completely annihilated, even if he goes back, His Excellency the division commander will only reprimand him fiercely at most.

And they won't really dismiss him, let alone shoot him.

But Kusaba Tatsuya is really unwilling to give up!

He stared at Kunshan City for a long time with a cold gaze, and finally asked in a deep voice: "Watanabe-kun, you tell the truth, if my 19th Brigade attacks with all my troops and puts the 9th Infantry Wing, which has just completed the replenishment, into it, is it possible to take Kunshan City before dark?" ”

"Before dark?" Watanabe Takemasa shook his head and said categorically: "This is absolutely impossible!" ”

Kusaba Tatsuna's face was completely gloomy, and he could almost drip water.

Watanabe Takemasa continued: "If we launch a strong attack at any cost from now on, the most optimistic estimate is that it will take two days to take Kunshan City and wipe out all the remaining enemies in the city!" ”

After a pause, Watanabe Takemasa said with an extremely solemn face: "Moreover, even if the enemy army can be completely annihilated, the price paid by the imperial army will be amazing!" Even the most conservative estimates put the casualties of the Imperial Army at least over 8,000! ”

"Nani?" Chief of Staff Ikeda's eyes widened and he said, "More than 8,000 casualties? ”

It's no wonder that he was so shocked, because when their entire 19th Infantry Brigade was full, the total strength did not exceed 8,000 people, not to mention that they were all about to be crippled now.

The capture of Kunshan City actually had to pay 8,000 casualties, so it's still an egg!

"Hello!" Watanabe Takemasa paused again: "It is precisely because of this that it is not recommended to take a strong attack.

Instead, a long-term siege tactic should be carried out against Kunshan City!

At the same time, a small force was dispatched to attack and harass, and the energy of the Chinese army in the city was exhausted as much as possible, so that it was tired to deal with!

In the end, the imperial army seized the opportunity to complete the battle and annihilate it in one fell swoop! ”

"A long siege?" Ikeda asked, with a dark face, "How long will the siege be?" ”

Takemasa Watanabe said solemnly: "It can be as short as five days, or as long as a week." ”

"Baga Ya Road! What do you say? A week? Ikeda was furious and said, "After a week, the main force of the Shina army gathered in the area east of Taihu Lake has already run away!" What's the point of our war? ”

Kusaba Tatsumi glared at Ikeda and said, "Chief of Staff, anger is the stupidest thing to do!" Because anger doesn't solve anything! ”

"Hello!"

Ikeda paused, but said no more.

But there are 10,000 grievances in my heart, Your Excellency the brigade commander, I'm not here to pat your ass?

Kusaba Tatsuya looked at Watanabe Takemasa again: "Watanabe-kun, is there no other way?" ”

Takemasa Watanabe: "As far as the current situation is concerned, there are two ways to deal with it. ”

"Oh? What are two other ways to deal with it? Kusaba Tatsumi was suddenly interested, and continued to ask, "Which two ways to deal with it?" ”

Watanabe Takemasa said: "First, bypass Kunshan and go straight to Suzhou." ”

Kusaba Chen shook his head and denied: "No, not to mention that the Tiger Ben Regiment has brought endless shame to the 16th Division of the Imperial Army.

Just talking about the location of its existence, for the 16th Division of our Imperial Army, it is simply like a man's back and a fish in the throat!

If we can't destroy it, but choose to go around, and it suddenly kills from behind, how should we respond? ”

Watanabe Takemasa said again: "Then we can only take the second method." Use gas bombs!

No matter how powerful the Chinese Tiger Regiment is, it is impossible for them to resist the poison gas bombs released by the Imperial Army! ”

Kusaba Tatsumi bowed his head and thought for a moment, and finally agreed to Watanabe's proposal.

"The poison gas bomb is in the 16th Wing of the Baggage, and if you want to use it, you need to get the permission of Your Excellency the Division Commander.

I'll go back to the division headquarters! ”

Kusaba Tatsumi was already a man of action, and after speaking, he turned around and got off the hill, and took Chief of Staff Ikedami straight to the division headquarters a few kilometers away.

……

When the division commander Nakajima learned that the attack of the 19th Brigade had failed again, he was angry and severely reprimanded Kusaba Tatsuya.

But in the end, he still agreed to Kusaba Tatsuya's proposal.

And gave it an ultimatum, this time it must be done in one battle!

Set foot on Kunshan City, annihilate the entire Tiger Regiment, and bring endless shame to the imperial army with snow!

Kusaba Tatsumi had already made a military order in front of the division commander Nakajima Imasayo, and then confidently returned to the east gate of Kunshan with a poison gas bomb.

…………

Inside Kunshan City.

First floor of the Central Bank Building.

In the previous battle, the Tiger Ben Regiment also won again, and everyone's faces were filled with irrepressible excitement.

In particular, a large number of light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were captured in this battle, as well as several anti-aircraft guns.

Putting aside light and heavy machine guns, let's just talk about anti-aircraft artillery.

This thing is a good thing, and the tanks used to fight devils are a dozen and one accurate, and they are better than Molotov cocktails.

Yang Jing raised his hand and looked at the time, half past four in the afternoon.

Then he raised his head and said with a cold face: "Everyone, it is at least an hour and a half before it gets dark.

If nothing else, the Japanese army will definitely attack again!

The little devil has waited so long and has not yet launched an attack, which can only show one point, there must be a huge conspiracy brewing! ”

The second battalion commander Fan Tietou said nonchalantly: "Tuanzuo, we were able to defeat the attack of the little devils before, and we will definitely be able to do it this time!" ”

Rake Ear followed: "Yes, not to mention that we have also captured several battle defense guns!" ”

Yang Jing said in a deep voice: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" Lao Tzu said before that the little devil is far more powerful than we imagined.

Moreover, this attack is bound to be even crazier than before!

So, don't be careless! ”

When everyone heard this, they put away their contempt and their faces became serious.

Yang Jing said again: "Of course, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you resist this attack of the little devil, after dark, we will be waiting for an opportunity to break through!"

Let's all go back to our respective positions. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and got up to leave.

Yang Jing turned his head to look at Ma Haifeng on the side and asked, "Chief of Staff, how is the injury of the fourth battalion commander?" ”

Ma Haifeng said: "The fourth battalion commander only suffered some skin injuries, but did not hurt his muscles and bones, and now he has woken up. ”

Yang Jing nodded: "That's good!" ”

"Hurricane!"

"Hurricane, hurricane! ——”

As soon as Yang Jing's words fell, a short and urgent scream suddenly came to mind outside, the scream of a cannonball breaking through the air!

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

Immediately afterwards, earth-shattering loud noises rang out violently.

As soon as he heard this, Yang Jing's face sank slightly.

Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng's face changed even more: "This is a little devil's large-caliber howitzer!" ”

Fan Tietou, Chen Lin, Zhao Hong, and Rake Ear and others had not yet had time to go out, and they couldn't help but look at each other at this time.

Now there are nearly seven or eight hundred little devils stranded in the city, especially in the eastern part of the city.

And the entire front is in a state of staggered teeth, and the devils are not afraid of blowing up their own people when they launch a cluster artillery bombardment at this time.

Ma Haifeng said: "It is estimated that this is a little devil playing a cold cannon!" ”

Cold artillery is a relatively common thing on the battlefield, and this is mainly a bluff and annoying the enemy.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Kongming used this hand.

Of course, he didn't shoot cannons, but drums and gongs, and beat drums and gongs again and again in the night.

As a result, the enemy soldiers were so panicked that they did not dare to sleep at all.

So much so that the next day he was mentally exhausted and was easily defeated by the Shu army led by Zhuge Kongming.

"It's not like a cold cannon!" Yang Jing shook his head and said: "And the little devil shouldn't choose this time to play a cold cannon, it doesn't make any sense at all!"

What's more, when you listen to this injury, where is it like a cold cannon?

It's clearly a covering bombing! ”

As soon as Yang Jing's words fell, a cannonball landed on the roof of the Central Bank Building.

The huge power of the heavy howitzer shook the entire building as if it was about to collapse.

A chandelier on top of the conference table shook violently a few times, then fell directly and slammed into the conference table.

Fortunately, Yang Jing, Rake Ear, Monkey and others reacted in time, and when they saw that the situation was wrong, they immediately dodged and retreated, so that they were not affected by the broken fragments of lamps.

"Ge Laozi!"

Yang Jing scolded angrily and was about to give an order to prepare for war.

At this time, a scout suddenly ran into the headquarters in a panic, and he didn't have time to salute before he said directly: "Tuanzao, it's not good, gas bombs, the little devil is using gas bombs again!" ”

This is a veteran of the Tiger Ben Regiment who participated in the Battle of Songjiang, so he is no stranger to poison gas bombs.
