Liang Shanhao commanded the 720th Regiment to defeat the 24th Wing again, but Liang Shanhao concluded that the devil's next revenge would be even more ferocious.

It is not impossible that the devils may intensify the bombing of the air force, and even release poison gas.

As the saying goes, it doesn't hurt to be prepared, and Liang Shanhao ordered the soldiers of the 720th Regiment to strengthen the fortifications such as anti-artillery holes.

Each anti-artillery hole was remodeled overnight, reinforced with logs.

As for preparing for a possible poison gas attack, Liang Shanhao also made preparations in advance.

Once the attack is unfavorable, poison gas is the killer weapon of the devil's attack.

The 24th Wing's attack on Bengbu has been repeatedly frustrated, and the devil's headquarters will definitely use ruthless moves, and poison gas is one of them.

The gas masks of the 720 regiment were not enough, and Liang Shanhao trained the soldiers to cover their noses with local methods according to his own ideas.

This is done with urine for poisoning.

Although urine and towel anti-poison are not as effective as a serious gas mask, they are better than nothing.

It's disgusting, but it's life-saving!

Pinching his nose with both hands, Han Chongcheng shouted: "Tuanzao, this method is too stinky!"

Glancing at Han Chongcheng, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Do you want to stink to death or choke to death by the poisonous gas of the devil!"

With a smiling face, Han Chongcheng responded: "Of course I want to save this little life!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "That's nonsense, according to the method and essentials just mentioned, cover Lao Tzu!"

With a look of disgust on his face, Han Chongcheng stiffened his scalp and covered it with a stinky towel.

Glancing at the soldiers of the 720th Regiment, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Brothers, in the Battle of Songhu, our friendly troops were attacked by devils' poison gas in Shanghai and suffered heavy casualties, but some friendly troops used this method to reduce casualties, so once I was attacked by devils' poison gas bombs, I can hold the position with this local method!"

The warriors looked at each other and talked about each other.

One of the veterans shouted: "Tuanza, this method of anti-poison is too inefficient, in case you are in a hurry on the battlefield, you don't even have the skill to pee, why don't you give us a gas mask!"

With a wry smile, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Brothers, I want to too, but the supply of military materials in the Fifth War Zone is tight, especially gas masks, which are even rarer!" There's no way around it! ”

Hearing this, the fighters expressed their understanding.

In addition to anti-poison, anti-aircraft, the anti-tank of the 720 regiment must also be done.

Although the Huai River blocked the attack of the devil's mechanized troops, once the devil's sappers erected a pontoon bridge on the Huai River, the Bengbu position in Pingchuan would face a great threat.

To this end, Liang Shanhao not only dug an anti-tank trench in front of the position, but also ordered Han Chongcheng to form a death squad to deal with the devil's tank.

The list of daredevils was voluntarily applied for by the fighters of the whole regiment.

Liang Shanhao was originally worried that the honor list of 18 people would not be able to be completed in the end, but when Han Chongcheng handed the honor list to Liang Shanhao.

Liang Shanhao's heart couldn't help but feel moved.

The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband.

The Chinese military are good.

Although the Northeast Army lost the territory of four provinces, it was brave to be ashamed, and the soldiers of the Northeast Army guarding the Huai River defense line were all good.

In the end, the original list of 18 people ended up with 180 volunteers.

In desperation, Liang Shanhao had to limit the number of people, and finally expanded the list to 36 people.

The enthusiasm of the 51st Army for the Anti-Japanese War moved Liang Shanhao to death.

China has such a great wall of flesh and blood, and little Japan does not want to destroy China.

……

13th Divisional Headquarters.

Hearing the bad news that the 24th Wing's attack had been frustrated, the division commander couldn't help but blush.

The chief of staff shouted: "Division commander, the commander guarding Bengbu is not good at stubble, he is proficient in the art of war, no matter how the 24th Wing attacks, he will not be able to shake the Bengbu defense line!"

With a long sigh, the division commander shouted angrily: "I don't think it's how powerful the Zhina Army is, but the 24th Wing Captain is ineffective in leading the troops, resulting in the 24th Wing being disabled by the Zhina Army, and the 24th Wing Commander must be severely punished to warn the whole division, otherwise this battle will not be fought!"

Shaking his head slightly, the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the military commander of the 24th Wing does not need to be punished by you!" He has killed himself to thank the Emperor! ”

With a cold face, the division commander shouted: "This wing commander is quite conscious!" Chief of Staff, how should this battle be fought next! The 24th Wing has been scrapped and must be withdrawn for the time being! ”

Nodding, the chief of staff shouted in a deep voice: "What His Excellency the division commander said is extremely true, next, other wings must be reassigned to take over the offensive mission!"

With an eyebrow, the division commander asked in a deep voice, "What does the chief of staff suggest?"

After thinking for a while, the chief of staff shouted: "I think the 11th Wing is suitable, the 11th Wing has just returned from Nanjing to recuperate, and has been replenished into the reserve troops of the 13th Division.

The division commander shouted: "Yo Xi! I heard that the commander of the 11th Wing is also not a simple commander! ”

Nodding, the chief of staff shouted, "Hai! The commander of the 11th Wing graduated from the Imperial Army University, attacked the city in the Songhu-Nanjing area, was very brave, and was once praised by Commander Yanagawa Heisuke for his military exploits, but unfortunately he was assassinated by the remnants of the Chinese army in Nanjing City, and was slightly wounded, and he has only returned to the line of fire until now! ”

The division commander shouted: "With such a brave and invincible officer, the Bengbu position is just around the corner!"

Frowning slightly, the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency the division commander, although the 11th Wing can take on the main attack mission, if the war is unfavorable, I still recommend taking unconventional means!"

His eyes were stunned, and the division commander shouted: "You mean to use poison gas bombs?" No, no, no, it's not glorious to win this style of play! I very much despise the defeat of the Chinese army by other troops with gas bombs, which is not in the spirit of bushido in our empire! ”

The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division! Regardless of the process of modern warfare, it is only about winning or losing, as long as the Bengbu position can be taken, what does it matter if poison gas is used?"

The division commander shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, poison gas bombs cannot be used lightly, I despise this method of operation very much, this is simply an insult to the combat effectiveness of my 13th Division!"

Seeing that the division commander refused, the chief of staff no longer insisted.

However, the chief of staff still privately called Shunroku Hata of the Central China Front.

In the event of unfavorable fighting on the Huai River front, the 13th Division could use poison gas bombs from the Shanghai Naval Port.

Shunroku Hata is also an unscrupulous master, he only cares about the outcome of the battle, and as for how the Shina army died, he didn't care at all.

Shunroku Hata especially advocated the use of poison gas bombs, although the means were tragic, but its war efficiency was particularly high!

Once the gas is released, the enemy will have to fall to the ground obediently, and the Imperial army will be able to take the position with zero casualties, so why not?

So after receiving the request of the chief of staff, Shunroku Hata immediately sent a telegram to the naval port.

Soon, a batch of new poison gas bombs that had just been developed from the Tokyo Arsenal encountered the advance base in Guanjiazhen.

Of course, the chief of staff had to give face to his superiors, and all this was done without the command of the 13th Division.
