Just as Nakagawa Hiroshi said, because Japan was the most shameless at that time and shamelessly carried out all kinds of biological and chemical weapons tests, especially experiments on living people, their poison gas bombs were still relatively advanced.

The use of poison gas bombs in the case of their existing army weapons, which could not effectively suppress the tank armored units of the independent brigade, was indeed a feasible strategy for the Japanese army at that time.

As for the Geneva Conventions, they are all binding on human countries, and they are not valid at all for animal states like Japan.

As a result, the two old devils, Yoshika Ryosuke and Yamamuro Sotake, can be said to hit it off, and immediately quickly concentrated the poison gas bombs equipped with the artillery wings directly under the two master regiments.

At the same time, the baggage units were ordered to distribute gas masks to all combat units.

Before Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo arrived with the independent brigade, the Japanese army was fully prepared to use poison gas bombs.

In order not to startle the snake, the independent brigade was put on guard.

Ryosuke Yoshika ordered all the Japanese troops stationed in the field position north of the city not to take the lead without an order, let alone to shoot.

In order to facilitate the command and maximize the lethal effect of the gas bomb, the two old devils, Yoshika Ryosuke and Yamamuro Sotake, even left the headquarters originally set up in the city and ventured to the north gate of Suzhou.

Because here they climbed high and looked into the distance, relying on the telescope to see the entire position in the north of the city, and they could find out the movements of the independent brigade at the first time, so as to make the most accurate response.

Almost Ji Jia Liangfu and they had just reached the top of the North Gate, and Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo and others took hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, air defense combat vehicles, and military trucks of the Independent Brigade to kill.

Zhou Weiguo stood in the Leopard tank, looked at it with a telescope, and then said to Xu Wen in the Tiger tank next door: "Brigade commander, the enemy in Suzhou should have been prepared, and we can't underestimate the enemy." ”

Xu Wen nodded, immediately picked up the radio and ordered: "The air defense regiment immediately get out of the car and set up all the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns for me!" In addition, if there is an attack by enemy aircraft, the armored regiment will also assist the air defense regiment in the operation, give me protection of the tank regiment! ”

The air defense regiments, which received the order, quickly dispersed and went into action.

A mm anti-aircraft gun, which was unloaded by the soldiers from the rear of the military truck, began to be erected on the spot.

Boxes of anti-aircraft shells were also removed from the truck.

Almost after the air defense regiment was ready, Xu Wen stood in the Tiger tank and gave the order to attack the tank regiment and armored infantry regiment that were ready to attack: "The tank is in front, the infantry is coordinated, the armored vehicle is covered, and the attack on Suzhou is launched!" ”

This time, because Xu Wen wanted to try the devil's hypocrisy, he didn't let his Tiger tank take the lead and lead the charge.

Instead, there was Comrade Zhou Weiguo, deputy brigade commander, who sat in the Tiger tank and directed the tank regiment to attack.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Wen escaped the fatal blow of the devil's gas bomb.

Because at this time, neither he nor Zhou Weiguo thought that the devil would use poison gas bombs in the next battle.

As the saying goes, there must be a mistake in the hundreds, and the independent brigade that has become very strong and has just almost completely annihilated the 6th Division, no one would have thought of this.

Under the command of Zhou Weiguo, Li Wu and others, the hundreds of tanks of the tank regiment formed a huge steel cluster, guiding the thousands of infantry of the armored infantry regiment covering their own side, and slaughtered the Japanese positions on the offensive line that was thousands of meters wide.

Before reaching the range of infantry firepower, Zhou Weiguo ordered his tank regiment to take the lead in firing, and hundreds of tank guns roared one after another, hitting rows and rows of hundreds of shells at the Japanese army's field defensive position north of Suzhou City.

Boom Boom Boom! Shells fell from the sky and exploded suddenly when they landed on the Japanese positions.

Clusters of dazzling fire and billowing smoke soon rose from the Japanese position.

Many devils hiding in the trenches, because they had no time to dodge, were hit by the raging explosion fragments, and died tragically on the spot.

There were even some unlucky guys, whose trenches were directly hit by shells, and a nest of devils all made dirt planes, and they were blown upside down and flew out, killing and wounding.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese position was heavily bombarded by their own tank artillery and shrouded in fire and smoke, the soldiers of the armored infantry regiment accelerated their speed with their guns in their hands and rushed forward quickly after their own tanks.

Because a hundred tanks were enough to provide strong defense and fire support for the infantry of the armored infantry regiment, Xu Wen did not send out the more than 200 armored vehicles and air defense combat vehicles of the armored regiment.

It was not that Xu Wen was cautious, but he knew that when he began to counterattack Suzhou, the Japanese army would definitely do its best to block it, and in addition to the heavy defense of the ground troops, they would also send their navy and air force to support.

And at the moment, the only thing that can pose a threat to the independent brigade is the Japanese navy and air force.

Therefore, Xu Wen must keep a hand, just in case.

The hundreds of antiaircraft guns of the air defense regiment are mainly used to strike at high-altitude targets, and the armored regiment, which is equipped with antiaircraft machine guns and vehicle-mounted combat vehicles with general-purpose machine guns, can just form a high and low match with the antiaircraft guns, so that the enemy's air defense fire network will be more complete and dense, and when necessary, it can also cover the retreat of its own offensive troops, so that nothing goes wrong.

Facts have proved that Xu Wen's deployment has avoided a heavy loss.

When the independent brigade infantry tank coordinated the attack group, it rushed to about 300 meters from the front of the Japanese field defense position.

At the head of the city, Yoshika Ryosuke and Yamamuro Sotake immediately ordered their artillery wings to open fire, and on the streets of the city, artillery groups composed of more than 100 large and small caliber guns of the two artillery wings immediately opened fire.

It's just that the devil artillery did not shoot grenades, incendiary bombs and other conventional shells, but all poison gas bombs.

In the first round of shelling, hundreds of poison gas bombs whistled over the north gate of Suzhou and the Japanese defensive positions outside the city, swept over the heads of their defending troops, and viciously smashed at the attacking troops of the independent brigade that were coordinating their forward attack.

In the face of the sharp and piercing whistling sound in the sky, Zhou Weiguo, Li Wu and other officers and soldiers did not care, because they had absolute confidence in their own tank defense armor.

In the previous battles, they were not less bombed, but the devil's shells basically could not cause substantial damage to them.

In addition, the offensive formation of the tank regiment is relatively scattered, and it is still moving forward at high speed, so it is not so easy for the devil shells to hit.

Therefore, they did not pay attention to the shells falling from the sky, but directed all the tanks to continue to advance.

The infantry also followed behind the tanks and charged forward at full speed.

Boom Boom Boom! The shells fired by the devil's first round of shelling fell one after another, most of them fell to the ground, some of the shell warheads drilled into the ground that was not hard, and some rolled to the ground.

A handful of shells hit the advancing Separate Brigade tanks, but the expected explosion did not occur, and the shells bounced off the tanks as soon as they landed, emitting a thick cloud of russet smoke in the process.

Soon, other shells also burst out of smoke of the same color.

At this time, the Japanese artillery group fired a second round of shelling, and hundreds of poison gas bombs broke through the sky with a piercing whistling sound.
