News of the failure of the front-line counterattack soon reached Naoto Suzuki's command.

"Nani? Chemical weapon?! Naoto Suzuki looked at Yoshio Suga in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

How is it possible that China's industrial manufacturing base is so weak, the chemical industry is almost non-existent, and even a small box of matches has to be imported from foreign countries, how can such a country develop chemical weapons with complex composition and huge lethality? It's as incredible as the sun coming out of the west.

"Hello!" "It's hard to believe, but the Shina Army did use a chemical weapon of unknown composition in the counterattack, which had to be used in conjunction with grenades, and the explosion produced yellow-green smoke that was very similar to the chlorine bombs used in World War I." ”

"Chlorine bombs?" Naoto Suzuki said, "You say chlorine bombs? ”

"Hay, suspected chlorine bomb." Suga paused again, "The chemical weapons used by the Shina Army can not only produce yellow-green smoke similar to chlorine, but also have similar properties, all of which can cause tears, runny nose, and cause severe coughing and respiratory diseases, and in severe cases, fainting, but ......"

Naoto Suzuki said, "But what, if you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

Suga said in a low voice: "But what is very puzzling is that the imperial army did not find a cylinder filled with chlorine gas on the battlefield, according to the surviving officers and soldiers on the front line, the chemical weapons of the Shina army are simply wrapped in cotton cloth, and when used, they only need to be thrown together with grenades, but I don't know what's going on?" ”

"Yaga." Naoto Suzuki said in horror, "Could it be that the Shina people have gone so far in the development of chemical weapons that their level is even far ahead of the Imperial Japanese Army?" ”

Yoshio Suga was silent, and he also found it difficult to accept.

Naoto Suzuki asked again, "How is the battle on the front line now?" ”

Suga said: "Due to the sudden attack by the chemical weapons of the Shina Army, the Imperial Army was not well prepared, so in the early stage, the 1st Infantry Brigade that was engaged in the counterattack suffered heavy casualties, and the 3rd Infantry Squadron was almost collectively shattered, and the other two infantry squadrons also suffered more than half of the casualties. ”

Naoto Suzuki gritted his teeth and said, "In other words, the 1st Infantry Brigade has lost the ability to counterattack?" ”

"Hello." Suga paused, "Unless the 3rd Infantry Brigade is transferred, the Imperial Army may not have the strength to launch a counterattack against the enemy on the opposite side." ”

"Yaga!" Naoto Suzuki cursed, and when he was hesitating whether to transfer the 3rd Infantry Brigade forward, gunshots suddenly rang out on the left and right flanks of the battlefield, and the intensity and intensity of the gunfire were unprecedented, hearing this gunshot, Naoto Suzuki's face changed in an instant, what is going on tonight? Are the Chinese crazy?

Guarding the north and south flanks of the crescent moon position, the two infantry squadrons of the 1st and 3rd infantry groups respectively, so Naoto Suzuki was not worried about the loss of the two flank positions, he was just a little annoyed, and the Chinese on the opposite side were inevitably too deceitful, not to mention the use of chemical weapons in a frontal attack, but they actually had to detour from the north and south flanks.

Do the Chinese want to do it? Want to wrap their Suzuki United dumplings?

The Chinese have such ambitions, and they must have such good teeth!

Naoto Suzuki immediately sent a signal corps to both wings to inquire about the situation.

After a while, the communication soldiers sent to the two wings to inquire about the battle situation returned, and brought back a news that made Naoto Suzuki and Suga jaw-dropping, the positions on the north and south flanks were actually attacked by the main force of the national army at the same time, and the national army that was engaged in the attack in these two directions had no less than one reinforced battalion!

"Baga, crazy, the people of China must be crazy!" Naoto Suzuki was dumbfounded.

"It's really puzzling." Yoshio Suga also paused, "According to reliable information, the remaining strength of the Chinese army in Feicheng is only one brigade and one independent regiment, a total of less than 5,000 people, and in the previous battle in the east of Feicheng, the Chinese army lost at least one regiment of troops, which means that there are at most 3,000 people left in the city now." ”

After a slight pause, Yoshio Suga said again: "But now, the Shina army has invested three reinforced battalions at a time, launching a fierce attack from three directions, and the Shina army is almost pouring out, this is preparing to fight with the imperial army, is the Shina army preparing to break through?" This is also not right, if the Chinese army wants to break through, it can completely break through from the north or west of the city, and the imperial army's forces in those two directions are relatively weak. ”

"I don't care what his intentions are." Naoto Suzuki waved his hand and said, "Since the Chinese army dares to attack, my Suzuki Wing has no reason to avoid the battle, no matter what, our 45th Infantry Wing is the elite of the elite of the imperial army, and the strong Russian army has also defeated our Kagoshima Wing, not to mention the only branch of the army?" ”

After a pause at this point, Naoto Suzuki said: "Order, the 3rd Infantry Brigade will be divided into two routes, with two infantry squadrons to meet the two wings of the Shina Army, and in addition, I will tell Kato-san for me that I will not ask for reinforcements from the division headquarters, and whether or not he can defeat the enemy on the opposite side depends on his own ability." ”

"Hello." Yoshio Suga paused, turned around and went to deliver the order.

In a short time, the more than 700 devil infantry who were sitting quietly in the ruins around the headquarters divided into two groups, entered the two flanks of the crescent moon position, intercepted the opposite national army and began a fierce battle.

(Dividing Line)

In charge of attacking from the north was Xu Dekun's 3rd Battalion.

In order to make enough momentum and confuse the devils, Xu Dekun put all three companies out of the way as soon as he came up, and launched an attack on the devils on the north side of the crescent moon position from a front with a width of more than 100 meters, but Xu Dekun did not give any death orders, and the orders given to the three company commanders were to advance if they could, and if they couldn't enter, they would be consumed with the devils.

Because Xu Rui clearly explained that the tasks of the 3rd Battalion are two, one is to bluff, and the other is to train the troops, so that the more than 500 recruits who have just been added to the 3rd Battalion can feel the atmosphere of the war, so that they can adapt to the battlefield environment as soon as possible psychologically, physiologically and spiritually, and prepare for more brutal battles in the future.

So, don't look at the 3rd battalion fighting lively, guns and cannons are firing, dozens of light and heavy machine guns are like no money, pouring bullets like rain at the devils, but the essence does not advance much, not to mention, this atmosphere is quite suitable for recruits, after spending the first ten minutes, more than 500 recruits immediately came to life.

At this time, the devil reinforcements who rushed to reinforce also arrived.

As soon as the two infantry squadrons of the devils entered the battle, the pressure on the 3rd battalion suddenly increased greatly, and the 3rd battalion, which was originally the attacking side, was soon forced to turn to the defense.

"Battalion commander, the 2nd company and 1st platoon have been defeated."

"Battalion commander, the 3rd Company and 2nd Platoon can't stand it."

"Battalion commander, a small unit of devils has broken into our depth from Mao'er Alley!"

"Battalion commander, Sheephorn Hutong has been lost, and about a squad of devils has broken in."

The communication soldiers continuously reported the battle report to Xu Dekun, but Xu Dekun was very calm, and said indifferently: "I know, tell Mei Xiucai and Huang Xiaocai, let them break in if the devil breaks in, they just guard their positions, don't be afraid of the defense line being disturbed, the regiment commander said, the more chaotic the situation, the better, and the water is muddy!" ”

"Yes!" The messenger agreed, turned around and went to deliver the order.

(Dividing Line)

To the northwest of the meniscus position, an unnamed alley.

The assault team composed of veterans of the 88th Division has been assembled, and the 198 veterans are divided into two columns, and sit silently with their backs against the walls on both sides of the alley, waiting for the order to be given.

Although it was the current war, these veterans looked indifferent.

Veterans are veterans after all, they have seen too much bloodshed and sacrifice, too many life and death, and there is almost nothing in this world that can move them.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhang Jingyu took out the military ID card from the jacket pocket of the military uniform, opened it, and then took out a yellowed photo from it, the photo showed a female student with short ear-length hair, smiling sweetly, and there were two cute dimples at the corners of her mouth, and the youthful atmosphere could almost come out of the photo.

Looking at the beautiful girl in the photo, Zhang Jingyu's eyes showed a faint sadness.

The next moment, the beautiful girl's shadow clearly appeared in front of Zhang Jingyu's eyes, and her crisp voice sounded in her ears at the same time: "Zhang Jingyu? How did you come up with a girl's name? If I knew you were a boy, I wouldn't have stupidly run over to see you, and I would never see you again. ”

Then the scene changed to the teaching building of Fudan University, his alma mater.

The girl glared angrily at Zhang Jingyu, who blocked her way, and said: "Why are you like this, I said everything, I don't like you, I don't like sissy, I like masculine soldiers!" ”

"I'm going to sign up for the army right now! You wait for me! Zhang Jingyu said.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Jingyu's mouth, so he became a recruit of the 88th Division, and just in time for the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, when he was injured and admitted to the hospital, he met a girl who was already a medical soldier, and on the day Zhang Jingyu joined the army, the girl also enlisted in the army as a medical soldier.

Then, the picture in Zhang Jingyu's mind froze, a faint scarlet, but from Zhang Jingyu's originally black eyes, as if two flames were burning faintly in his eyes: If the man loves, you watch, see how I kill the devils, see how I kill all these devils!

Footsteps sounded, and Luo Feng's sturdy figure appeared at the mouth of the alley.

Seeing Luo Feng come in, the veterans who were originally sitting against the wall got up one after another.

Zhang Jingyu clipped the photo back to the military ID, then put the military ID card into her pocket, then tightened the armed belt on her body hard, and stood up.
