Li Zhenhe and others were really unable to withstand the Japanese army's charge regardless of casualties. They could kill many Japanese soldiers, but the replacement of bullets was becoming more and more unable to keep up, and more and more machine guns were damaged by the firing of the last time, and they had to come up with a final plan. The Manchurian Army withdrew from its positions with the wounded and dead comrades, and the turtles retreated to the beachhead of the landing site, and then Li Zhenhe personally ordered to detonate the preset poison gas shells in each position.

Mustard gas is a high-tech product, but the Japanese have never dreamed of it, where there will be any precautions. They all desperately squeezed into the positions abandoned by the Manchurian Army, wanting to show their merits, so they were all shrouded in fog in an instant. At first, they didn't think anything was out of the ordinary, but they were curious as to why the Manchurian Army suddenly released these smoke out, and wanted to use these things to block their attack. Japanese people who like to eat wasabi don't think the taste of mustard gas is particularly unpleasant, but they feel a little craving for sashimi.

The Japanese troops who attacked the position of the Manchurian Army did not stay too long, they still had to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and Li Zhenhe and others who retreated to the beachhead were stupid, how could the erosive mustard gas, known as the king of poison gas, not work? Li Zhenhe and the others also didn't read the manual, they took it for granted, mustard gas is indeed the king of poisonous gas, but the effect of this thing is not so fast.

Guo Xing'a, who was ruthless and wanted to kill the Japanese, got all the immoral things at the bottom of his box, and there were two kinds of poison gas bombs, one was mustard gas, and the other was *. Mustard gas is easy to use, has a wide range of damage, causes great damage, and is relatively less virtuous, and is designated as the king of poison gas by Guoxing Aqin. This kind of thing is a kind of treasure that makes people survive and not die, but it is not a sharp weapon for killing people quickly. However, * is easy to drift away and lasts for a short time, so Goxinga doesn't like it.

Li Zhenhe and others chose mustard gas based on Guo Xing's preferences, and they didn't know much about what effect this thing was in actual combat. They used this kind of thing against the enemy in the position on the heads of the Japanese in motion, and naturally it would not have any effect. Li Zhenhe and the others didn't have time to scold the street, and the Japanese who rushed through the fog chased after them again, and they had to stabilize their positions immediately, otherwise they could only go back to the boat and stay.

Fortunately, the area of the beachhead was limited, and the troops of their three brigades were concentrated together, and the firepower was greatly improved, and the density of the firepower of the naval guns at sea was also greatly increased, gradually curbing the pace of the Japanese advance. However, the stubborn Japanese army would not give up easily, they built another trench along the rear edge of the original Manchurian army's position, and actually began to shoot at the Manchurian army, with a posture of advancing step by step and compressing the Manchurian army's living space.

The two sides fought fiercely again for more than an hour, and finally stopped, the Manchurian army stabilized its position, and the Japanese army could only stop and start to redeploy troops. The high-spirited Tokugawa Yoshiki had the heart to come to the front line, but was stopped by Saigo Takamori, who was afraid that the general, who he had tried every possible means to kill, would have an accident at this time, so Saigo took over the task of the labor army before the battle. After personally surveying the position left by the Manchurian Army, Saigo Takamori only felt a chill on his back, and cold sweat had soaked his back.

"What a fluke!" Saigo let out a heartfelt sigh as he stroked the bullet-ridden walls of the bunker.

"The morale of our army is high, don't be discouraged!" Yeli Qiutong, who has been following Saigo's side, also feels the same way.,But I still want to encourage my idol.。

"Fortunately, the Manchurians are weak-willed, if they can fight to the death like my samurai, it will be difficult to capture such a position without 100,000 lives!" Saigo was not discouraged, he just felt that the position of the Manchurians was too strong.

"I've made a note of the patterns here, and we can imitate them in the future, and one day we will be able to surpass them and completely defeat these hateful creatures with the senseless spirit of our samurai!" Yeli Qiutong clenched his fists, and his heart was full of thoughts of counterattacking Manchuria one day.

"Your Excellency, please go into the bunker and rest for a while! The shelling of the Manchurians is about to begin, and it is safer for the two of you to rest inside! "A Japanese officer ran over and politely asked Saigo and Nori Akiki to take shelter from the shelling.

"How's the soldiers?" Saigo cares more about the soldiers, and he doesn't care about himself.

"There are many hollows in the Manchurian trenches, which are specially used to defend against artillery, and the soldiers are very safe to hide in them!" The Japanese army was not stupid either, and they quickly figured out the meaning of some of the settings.

"Oh, that's good!" While reassuring the safety of the soldiers, Saigo once again lamented the meticulous setting up of the Manchurian trenches.

"Hey! By the way, how did you know that the Manchurians were going to shell? Saigo suddenly noticed a strange situation.

"From the moment we occupied the position, the Manchurians launched an artillery bombardment every half hour or so, but it was not violent, and the heavy artillery was hardly used, as if to scare us, except to raise some dust, it was useless!" The officer was also a little puzzled by the strange behavior of the Manchurians.

"Hmmm! You go and arrange the soldiers! "Saigo was very incomprehensible, and the Manchurian shelling did not seem to make any sense.

After the officer left, Saigo and Yeli Qiutong, who had long known the power of Manchurian artillery fire, obediently hid in a nearby bunker. The reinforced concrete bunkers of the Manchurian Army are really strong, except for the direct hit of their own heavy artillery, it is difficult for ordinary artillery to gnaw through them, and after Saigo and Yeli Qiutong entered, they also felt stable in their hearts. After a while, the shelling came as scheduled as the officer said, and it was indeed no heavy artillery, and after an understatement, it soon stopped, and I am afraid that no one was hit at all.

"Why did the Manchurians launch a meaningless shelling?" After Saigo walked out of the bunker, he was still puzzled, and asked about Yeli Qiutong as if talking to himself.

"To raise the dust!" Except for a little more dust in the air, Yeli Qiutong really didn't find much.

"Why?" Saigo suddenly felt that his eyes were a little uncomfortable, and there was no improvement after rubbing them.

"That wasabi-like flavor has become stronger again!" Yeli Qiutong didn't feel any discomfort, but he felt a little craving for yusheng again.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Suddenly, more and more soldiers began to cough violently, as if they were all suffering from Grade 7 tuberculosis. As the cough became louder, the number of people rubbing their eyes increased, followed by widespread vomiting and diarrhea, and the coughing person also vomited a large amount of thick phlegm. The battle-torn position suddenly became dirty, like a septic tank blown up public toilet. Saigo's eyes were getting more and more painful, and he could only insist on trying to see the situation on the battlefield clearly, but his vision was getting blurred more and more.

There were more and more people vomiting and diarrhea in the Japanese army, and many people were lying on the ground and vomiting as if they were going to vomit their stomachs. The cough was getting worse and worse, and they seemed to be coughing so violently that they shattered their lungs, and there was already a lot of blood in the sputum they spit.

"Ahh …… Why...... Yes! I can't see! ”

"Ahh What's wrong...... Yes! …… Where...... Yes! What ......"

Amid the sound of vomiting and coughing, there were suddenly many frightened shouts, and some Japanese soldiers began to stumble around, and although there was nothing unusual to see, everyone could see that they were blind. In addition to these people, there are some more unlucky people, who have almost all the symptoms, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, blindness, and none of them are left behind. Flanking back and forth and stumbling around, they presented their misery to everyone and brought panic to everyone.

Some of the soldiers, who had no symptoms, also felt that they were starting to feel uncomfortable, wanting to vomit and cough, and their eyes were also a little dry. More people just feel a burning sensation on their skin, and gradually some people find that their skin is red, swollen and blistered, and more serious ones simply ulcerate, ulcering for no reason. The soldiers began to scream in terror, rubbing their troubled bodies with their hands, and then exacerbating their pain.

When Li Zhenhe retreated to the shore, Tan Taiyan, a chemist who grew up in Manchuria, gave them clear guidance and let them understand the principle of mustard gas. Li Zhenhe and others, who have figured out the cause and effect, even if they understand what to do, the seemingly meaningless shelling is their masterpiece. When the weather is cold, mustard gas settles on the ground, and if the military boots step on the frozen ground, the mustard gas rises murderously. At this time, it was the middle of winter, and it was indeed cold enough in Japan, so Li Zhenhe and others, who felt that they were slow to pedal with their feet, immediately launched a very rhythmic artillery bombardment, so that the Japanese army always lived in the dust full of mustard gas.

Saigo's eyes also lost light, and although he didn't know how the Manchurians did it, he knew that it was another sinister trap for the Manchurians. It must have been some terrible poison planted in the Manchurian position that caused so many people to suddenly become ill. Saigo Takamori, who had changed dramatically at first glance, did not panic, he stabilized his mind and immediately ordered the rescue of the injured. However, Saigo understood that if he mobilized rear support at this moment, more people would inevitably be poisoned, so he gave a very cruel order. Poisoned soldiers, only those who have completely lost the ability to fight can leave on their own, and others who can still hold on to the battle must stay and hold their ground. Moreover, unless the Japanese troops in the position were killed, the other Japanese troops in the rear were not allowed to enter the position range. Some mildly poisoned Japanese soldiers could only stay here to deepen their poisoning, and then silently wait for death to come.

"Go back! The country needs you! Saigo very forcefully pushed away Yeli Qiutong who was supporting him, he was a poisoned person, he wanted to stay and command the battle, Yeli Qiutong almost didn't react, he could go back to assist Tokugawa Keiki.
