Boom Boom! The second batch of poison gas bombs fired by the devils also fell with a bang, and at this time, the poison gas emitted by the first batch of poison gas bombs had already spread in all directions.

After the second batch of poison gas bombs landed, they also quickly emitted a russet poisonous mist, which spread to all sides.

As the commander of the tank regiment, Li Wu was driving the T-34/5 tank, and he was standing in the tank chewing gum at this time, directing the attack of the troops.

Suddenly, he saw a cloud of smoke in front of the right side of the tank, and he couldn't help but be surprised and asked over the radio: "Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, did you notice anything abnormal?" ”

Zhou Weiguo also found out that something was wrong at this time, and immediately got out of the leopard tank, looked out, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, and immediately retracted the tank and picked up the radio and roared in an almost roaring voice: "Oh no, it's a gas bomb, the devil used a gas bomb, everyone immediately retreated!" Retreat! ”

All the tank fighters who were in charge of driving the car quickly turned around or directly hung up the reverse gear, slammed the accelerator to the end, and drove the tank backwards.

The infantry of the armored regiment who followed the tank charge were a little surprised that they did not know the situation, but soon a tank commander came out of the tank and shouted at them: "Retreat!" Evacuate! It's all poison gas! Hurry up! ”

Thousands of armored infantry of the Independent Brigade suddenly turned around and ran away this time.

At this time, Xu Wen also learned about the situation in front of him through the radio, and immediately said with annoyance: "Fuck, I didn't expect the devil to use gas bombs, I knew that all the soldiers should be equipped with gas masks in advance, alas, this time the fucking miscalculation!" ”

However, Xu Wen also understood that the matter had come to this point, and it would be useless to be in a hurry, so he could only hope that Zhou Weiguo and the others could withdraw as soon as possible without too many casualties.

At this moment, hundreds of fighters and bombers of the Japanese sea-based and land-based aviation units were divided into two clusters and flew whizzing from the southeast and southeast directions.

Without any reason, the Japanese fighters swooped down on the retreating independent brigade attacking troops on the ground, and a wave of dive strafing immediately poured down countless machine guns and machine gun bullets like splashing water.

Wherever countless bullets went, smoke and dust several meters high were splashed, and a series of dazzling sparks burst out on the tank.

Some of the armored infantry who were following their tanks to retreat in poison gas were hit by the dive fire of the devil fighters, and they were shot and fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing this, Xu Wen couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered the air defense regiment and armored regiment behind him: "Give me all the fire, kill them, and take the attacking troops back!" ”

With Xu Wen's order, the armored vehicles that had been prepared for a long time, all the anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and vehicle-mounted machine guns of the air defense regiment opened fire one after another.

In an instant, the ground anti-aircraft fire was in full swing, and countless bullets rained out at once, forming a very dense anti-aircraft fire network.

The Japanese fighters that swooped down were caught off guard and plunged headlong into the anti-aircraft fire network, and were immediately hit with a thousand holes, some of them exploded in volley, some lost control, caught fire and burned, dragging a long thick smoke into the Taihu Lake in the distance, and the plane was destroyed and people died.

However, only a dozen Japanese fighters flying at the front were destroyed, and the rest of the Japanese planes all reacted quickly.

At this time, the pilots of the devil had not yet experienced the bloody struggle between the Pacific Ocean and the US military, and both their flight level and air combat capability were among the top in the world.

Therefore, they reacted very quickly, and immediately drove the fighters to turn on both sides and pull up to dodge.

The independent brigade was able to kill more than a dozen of their planes as soon as it opened fire, and in addition to catching the devil pilots by surprise, its own firepower was strong enough was also one of the main reasons.

Just imagine, hundreds of mm anti-aircraft guns, 230 anti-aircraft machine guns, and 460 general-purpose machine guns fired at the same time, how dense is the network of anti-aircraft fire?

As the devil fighters split up and turned to the two wings to dodge, the anti-aircraft fire of the independent brigade was also divided into two parts, chasing the devil planes.

At this time, there were already many soldiers in the retreating attacking troops, who had begun to foam at the mouth and fell into a coma because of the excessive amount of mustard poison gas inhaled.

This situation is most acute for armored infantry on foot.

The fighters in the tank were in slightly better condition, but quite a few of them were poisoned.

However, the nightmare has just begun, with the devil's fighter being pinned down by his own air defense forces.

Dozens of Japanese bombers suddenly began to bomb, and one after another heavy bombs smashed down from the air with a piercing scream.

Boom Boom Boom! A series of very violent explosions suddenly sounded, and in the earth-shattering explosion, the armored infantry was blown to pieces of flesh and blood, and suffered heavy casualties.

Even the tanks of the tank regiment were destroyed on the spot or overturned because they were too close to the explosion point.

The tank soldiers inside were killed and injured by the shock, and the wounded were quickly swallowed by the diffuse poisonous gas and died one after another.

Looking at the sea of fire and the continuous explosions ahead, Xu Wen couldn't breathe in pain, and took the radio to urge Zhou Weiguo and the others: "Weiguo, Li Wu, how are you?" Hurry up and withdraw it for me! Hurry up! ”

"Brigade commander, I'm fine, I'm retreating!" Li Wu's anxious voice appeared first on the radio.

Zhou Weiguo immediately responded: "Brigade commander, I'm fine, I'm retreating to your side, but many tanks have been blown up, and the infantry has also suffered very heavy losses!" ”

"Don't care about the dead, how much can be withdrawn! Hurry up! The green mountains left are not afraid of no firewood! Xu Wen yelled at the top of his throat.

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

At the north gate of Suzhou, holding a telescope and looking at the armored troops of the Independent Brigade in front, they were covered by the air attack fire of their own bomber groups and suffered heavy losses.

Ryosuke Yoshika's face finally showed a smile: "Yo Xi! This time the Chinese army was defeated! It can be seen from this that they are not yet strong enough to be invincible, and as long as the tactics are used properly, they can still be defeated! ”

The commander of the 11th Division next to him, Yamamuro Sotake, nodded happily and said: "That's right, there is no truly invincible army in this world, any army has weaknesses, as long as you can find and catch the flaw, it will not be difficult to defeat it!" ”

The chief of staff of the 9th Division, Nakagawa Hiroshi, was quite excited and suggested to the two: "Two generals, the defeat of the Chinese army is now decided!" Please also order the independent heavy artillery brigade to immediately open fire, increase the fire on the Chinese army, and expand the results of the battle! ”

Ryosuke Ji nodded happily and said, "Yo Xi, order the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade to open fire immediately!" Also ordered the 9th and 11th tank tank tank vehicle wings, as well as all cavalry units, to be ready for sorties! When the air raids and bombardments are over, immediately counterattack on all fronts! Completely defeat the independent brigade and capture Zhu Ziming alive! ”
