Fortunately, this time the Japanese army only released vomit gas bombs, not terrifying mustard gas and other erosive ones, otherwise none of them would have survived.

The smell of poison gas wafting up this time was a mixture of bitter almonds and garlic, and it was supposed to be vomiting biphenyl arsenic chloride and biphenyl arsenic cyanide.

Xiao Shu, a health soldier of the Eighth Company, had learned this from the monks of the battalion headquarters health team before, and he was much more relieved when he smelled this stinky poisonous gas.

After getting Xiaoshu's exact affirmation, the commander of the eighth company suddenly thought of a way to do what he planned, wrote down a few notes, and ordered the herald to pass it to the various platoon commanders.

It's just that this method has to aggrieved the bodies of the martyrs piled up on the side.

"Amitabha!"

The soldiers wearing gas masks of the Eighth Company, while silently reciting the Buddha's name in their hearts, carried the martyrs and placed them on the trenches, so that they could lie on the walls of the trenches or lie down in the trenches.

If an outsider or an uninformed person sees this scene, he will be scared half to death, a group of people wearing gas masks like skulls, silently carrying piles of corpses in the misty light, it is indeed very terrifying.

But as the soldiers of the Eighth Company, they were very sad and uncomfortable, carrying the bodies of these comrades-in-arms whose hands and feet were already cold, and they felt very guilty and sorry for them.

Some of the martyrs were already stiff, and the shape of their bodies was a little strange, and the Balian brothers tried to straighten him, but to no avail, they could only lie him down and put him in the trench.

In order to kill the devil, I can only let you be wronged again, and I can't help but be sorry brothers.

After placing the remains of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Eighth Company retreated into the bunkers and the second defense position, aimed their guns at the first defense, the bullets were loaded, and the caps of the grenades were unscrewed and piled aside.

Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, Japanese soldiers also wearing gas masks came up, devils in woolen winter clothes, and bright bayonets.

In the gray morning, with the sound of fragmentation all the way, the devil dressed like a "devil", slowly touched it, like a group of ghost soldiers from hell, and approached the first defense position of Qiangongling step by step.

At this time, the dogleg is under a lot of pressure in his heart, and it is certain that by doing this, he can kill more enemies, but it is indeed very risky to use his own defense as a bargaining chip.

Even if this group of devil soldiers is killed in a sudden situation, there is no guarantee that there will be many Japanese soldiers behind them, and if there are many, it will be very troublesome.

What if a large number of Japanese troops rushed to the first defensive position at the foot of the mountain, and the Eighth Company could not finish the battle at once? Let the enemy rush to the second defense and rush to the top of the mountain, and the Eighth Company will all be martyred.

This is not to use a first-defense position as a bargaining chip, but to take the entire Eighth Company and Qiangongling position to take this risk, and ordinary company commanders would not dare to be so bold.

Although fighting a war is based on law and strength, more often than not, it is a gamble based on these foundations, and even if it is fought in all directions, the whole army may be defeated because of a certain point.

But if you can make some unexpected changes and suddenness in some local battles, you will also receive great surprises and achievements.

Take a gamble!

When he came to Qiangongling and saw the piles of brothers left by the Ninth Company, he couldn't stand it, and felt that the Eighth Company couldn't fight like this, and couldn't wait to die like this.

If you want to die, you have to take the initiative to kill the enemy and then die, it's much more comfortable than waiting here to die, since you can't choose life and death, then choose a way to die.

Come on!

Those devils saw that the Chinese army was silent in the Qiangongling position, and it had been 400 meters or 200 meters until they reached the front line of the first defense, and the devils walked upright and boldly with confidence, and climbed over the chest wall of the first defense position in a swarm.

Just as the devils saw the "Chinese soldiers" lying in the trenches, they thought that these people had been poisoned, and happily raised their bayonets and stabbed the Chinese soldiers.

At this moment, a loud bang suddenly erupted, and then a loud bang erupted in this first-defense position.

It was a grenade exploding, that's right, it was raining grenades from the Chinese soldiers, and dozens of grenades flying from the second defense flew over in the mist.

The devils wearing gas masks really couldn't see what was flying over until they exploded, but these devils didn't have time to hide, and almost all of them were blown up by grenades.

The grenades with prefabricated fragments were accurately thrown into the trench of the first defense from the position of the second defense, and the devils in the first defense trench almost had no place to hide, and under such a dense shrapnel attack, they fell to the ground one after another.

Before the grenade rain was sent out, the telescope of the eighth company commander dogleg had been diligently searching, looking for the Japanese troops behind the mist, but only the current group could be seen.

Perhaps the Japanese army only sent a group of forwards wearing gas masks to come up first, and after killing the defenders of the Chinese army, they sent a signal to the main force and the main force of the attack before they came out to occupy the position.

After all, in poison gas, even if there is a gas mask, there is no guarantee that the poison gas will invade the human body, and even if it is vomiting poison gas, it is also harmful to the human body, whether it is inhaled or exposed to the skin outside the clothing.

Therefore, the Japanese army first sent a forward force similar to the anti-chemical warfare unit to deal with the Chinese soldiers who were poisoned by the poison gas, and the main force behind waited until the poison gas was dispersed before going up or occupying the position.

On the premise of not knowing how great the effect of the poison gas is, it is normal for a small force to be sent to search, and even if it is ambushed and blocked, the loss is not large.

Of course, it is estimated that the Japanese army did not think much about this, after all, since the use of poison gas warfare, they have been too easy to succeed, so as long as they encounter such an opportunity, they generally operate like this.

It is very rare to find that after the poison gas, the Chinese army can still launch a counterattack in the poison gas, and it is already very good to be able to escape without dying, as long as you stay in the poison gas area, you will faint if you don't die.

But this time, they still underestimated the elite degree of the Chinese army, thinking that although the 51st Division of the 74th Army was the elite of the Chinese army, it was just a little better in weapons and a little better in the quality of the soldiers.

Since the 74th Army became a national strategic attack force and was equipped with some US-aided weapons, US military advisers came to the 74th Army and gave officers and sergeants a lot of professional training on how to prevent drugs.

Among them, the quality of gas masks has also increased significantly, and the quantity is also, basically able to be equipped in the hands of squad leaders, which is much better than the previous equipment in the hands of platoon-level officers.

Moreover, this time, the division headquarters and regimental headquarters predicted that the Japanese army, which could not be attacked for a long time, was very likely to launch a poison gas war, and demanded that the front-line combat units of the company and platoon should pay close attention.

The defense of Qiangongling by the Third Battalion was carried out in a wheel battle, and after each company went up, it put on almost half of the gas masks of the whole battalion and approached one man.

This time, except for some people in the reserves, the other front-line fighters were given priority to be equipped with gas masks, all of which were not known to the Japanese army.
