Chapter 211: Advantageous Choice
After a horse whip 'pumped' away the mount of Tsuruta Numan who was looking at the battlefield in a daze, he was afraid that he would become a prisoner if he delayed for a while, and he didn't dare to do any more stay here. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast. He also took the reins of his horse with him, and rode his own horse to follow behind Tsuruta Nunan, and ran in the direction of the Qiaokou stronghold.
At this time, Li Ziyuan on the other side of the mountain was at the highest concentration because of the poisonous gas under the mountain. I didn't know what these things were, and the soldiers who were worried about injuring themselves didn't dare to go down the mountain rashly. I could only watch these two guys, relying on the four 'legged' war horses under their buttocks, and quickly fled in the direction of Qiaokou.
After Tsuruta Numan and Rakuai Kanshiro fled, only the Japanese puppet army of this attack was left behind, still struggling in the poison gas. Except for a few lucky ones, who escaped with poison gas. One by one, the rest were choked and fell to the ground.
This scene has been common on the battlefield in China since the July 7 Incident. But the average victim is the vast majority of the squadrons who don't even have the most basic gas masks. It was the Japanese army that was smoked by poison gas, but it was the first time since the beginning of the world.
Because he didn't know what kind of poisonous gas was seized, he didn't dare to go down the mountain rashly when he saw the Japanese puppet troops under the mountain being smoked one by one. It wasn't until half an hour later, under the action of the winter mountain wind in the southeast of Jinjin, that the thick smoke under the mountain dispersed slightly. Li Ziyuan led the second company of Qian Defu and rushed down the mountain after putting on a gas mask.
Looking at the Japanese puppet army lying on the ground and no longer able to resist, Li Ziyuan could only give an order helplessly. After all the weapons of the Japanese puppet army were collected, there was not enough rope to tie them up directly with the Japanese puppet army's own 'trousers' belt, and then one by one they were smoked with poisonous gas, a handful of tears, and they were dragged to the upwind with a wild cough.
However, Li Ziyuan's order was to drag the puppet army first, and as for the Japanese army, let them suck it well, which they themselves developed to use to slaughter the Chinese. Although those puppet soldiers said that these people were dogs for the Japanese, they were all Chinese. It can be regarded as for the sake of the flesh and bone compatriots, and some should be taken care of at this time.
After all, among these puppet soldiers, except for a few lazy and lazy ruffians, most of them are just to receive a salary for their families, and they are even national soldiers who were 'forced' out by the Japanese. Except for a few hardcore 'traitors', most of them are still guilty of not death.
As for the Japanese troops who started the attack, let them stay in the poison gas for a little longer. Anyway, the ravine is ventilated, and although the wind speed is a little lower now, it doesn't mean that there is no mountain wind at all. Although the amount of poison gas released by himself is a little more, judging from the performance of the Japanese puppet army after the poisoning, even if it is smoked for a while, no one should die.
Just when Li Ziyuan commanded the troops and quickly cleaned up the battlefield, one by one the Japanese puppet troops who were killed and alive smoked by poison gas were dragged to the upper hand. But he found that his old chief, who is also his current brother-in-law, with the cooperation of Zeng Sheng, I don't know when he also rushed over with the sub-district cadre group.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Ziyuan's troops under the mountain were wearing gas masks, the smell from the mountain was not right, and there was a lot of smoke under the mountain, which made Wang Cheng, who felt that something was wrong, and stopped the reinforcements from rushing down the mountain, it is estimated that it was not only the Japanese puppet army that was unlucky.
Wang Cheng's department is not the company under Li Ziyuan's current command, but a gas mask for each person. The divisional backbone regiment also had a small number of seized gas masks, but most of them still did not have them. This poisonous gas is at its most concentrated now, and if these warriors rush straight over, they will all have to be knocked down.
The poisonous gas released by his own people poisoned his own reinforcements, and Li Ziyuan had to become a big joke at that time. Fortunately, Wang Cheng, who was no stranger to the Japanese army's chemical weapons and was also a victim of the Japanese army's poison gas warfare, found out that something was wrong and stopped the troops who were about to go down the mountain in time.
Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, he threw the task of cleaning the battlefield under the mountain to Qian Defu, He Huizhang, and Liu Lianming. Li Ziyuan walked up the mountain in a few steps. Seeing that he didn't know what kind of means Li Ziyuan had taken, he had solved the problem in such a short time, and Wang Cheng, who was looking at the mountain in amazement, hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Although he also felt the troops under the mountain, everyone in Li Ziyuan's troops was wearing gas masks, and this scene had already fallen on Wang Cheng's telescope. But in the battle, it has always been the Japanese army that uses poison gas, and the Eighth Route Army is the victim. How did it turn upside down today? This point made Wang Cheng a little 'touching' his head.
No matter how powerful he Li Ziyuan is, it is impossible for him to get his hands on the Japanese army's chemical weapons under the same strict control and strict secrecy as the Japanese army. And to say that he Li Ziyuan has the ability to make it himself, in Wang Cheng's opinion, it is purely a myth. When Li Ziyuan went up the mountain, Wang Cheng, who had always been steady, was full of doubts.
However, for Wang Cheng, Li Ziyuan didn't know what to call him for a while. Do you call your brother-in-law, or do you continue to call the old chief? Although it is more cordial to call his brother-in-law, under the watchful eyes of so many cadres and soldiers, Li Ziyuan is really a little unspeakable. After hesitating for a moment, Li Ziyuan still spoke: "Old chief, why are you here for this Chinese New Year?" β
Li Ziyuan's question, Wang Cheng frowned when he saw Li Ziyuan, who had just taken off his gas mask, but he still didn't ask Li Ziyuan first what he did. However, at this time, the battle below has ended, and there is no need to make his own move for the time being, and Wang Cheng also has time to understand the ins and outs of the matter.
After thinking about the wording, Wang Cheng spoke: "This group of devils deceived themselves and chose to think that our defense would be the most lax Chinese New Year's Eve sneak attack. When I passed through Ludong to the north of the pot, I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the boundary of Ludong, I was discovered by our local armed forces. β
"This Japanese puppet army thinks that they are doing a hidden thing, but in fact, as soon as they enter the mountain, how can they escape our eyes? If we didn't have this ability, would we still be able to survive and develop until now? It's just that our means of communication are too backward, and by the time the sub-division received the armed report below, the Japanese puppet army had already entered Hubei. β
"After careful analysis by the intelligence officers, the divisional command found that this Japanese puppet army was coming for you. The commander and the commissar were worried that your boy would suffer, so they asked me to come over with troops to reinforce immediately. When the troops were assembled, they were also delayed a little because they were scattered and stationed for the New Year. β
"Although the journey was all a hurried march, it was still a little late. I heard the sound of artillery from afar. I originally thought that I could only collect the corpse of your boy, but I didn't expect that your kid would not die, and actually let you basically retreat with your whole body, not to mention, this Japanese puppet army was bitten back by you. β
Speaking of this, Wang Cheng looked at Li Ziyuan's eyes and said, "You kid honestly 'confess', where did you get so many poison gas bombs." There is no such thing in the general stronghold of this thing. Also, did you release poison gas during the battle before? Otherwise, how could this Japanese puppet army collapse so quickly? β
"Although the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not good, the devils under the mountain have at least one reinforced squadron. There are devils supervising the battle and pressing the formation, and the puppet army is not absolutely vulnerable. Your troops and firepower are absolutely inferior, and in this case, you can defeat these Japanese puppet armies in such a short time. I don't know of any other reason than the fact that you used a captured gas bomb. β
Li Ziyuan, who knew that Wang Cheng could not hide the situation, simply explained how he decided to use Chinese New Year's Eve to sneak attack the fallen stronghold to seize weapons and reorganize the basic militia in Hubei in order to solve the militia's weapons and equipment. After seizing the Fallen Horse Stronghold, how did they discover a batch of chemical weapons and a batch of anti-poison equipment that the devils had stored in the Fallen Horse Stronghold?
How did you encounter the devil during the march, and why did you decide to use these chemical weapons? Although Li Ziyuan's statement is quite simple and to the point. But it took a full ten minutes to say this. In order to prove that he was using a captured Japanese chemical warfare weapon, Li Ziyuan also 'handed over' an unused poison gas cartridge to Wang Cheng.
Looking at the poison gas bag in front of him, he was looking at Li Ziyuan, who although his face had not changed color, but he seemed a little weak. Wang Cheng pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Don't tell me, you don't know that this practice is a serious violation of discipline." The higher authorities have repeatedly stipulated that all seized chemical weapons should be handed over and that no unit may use or retain them without authorization. β
"This order, you should have known a long time ago, why do you dare to use it in violation of discipline? Don't tell me that your subordinates suggested that you use these things. If you don't have this intention from the beginning of the seizure, you can't destroy it on the spot. On the way to retreat, why not find a place to destroy? β
"Otherwise, why did you leave all these things behind when Zeng Sheng retreated? Is it true that none of these things are safe? How many 'flower' and 'flower' intestines do you have in your kid's stomach, I don't know yet? Are you the one who can be swayed by your subordinates? If you don't have this idea yourself, how can you be moved by a few words from your subordinates? β
"Devils are brutes who do anything on the battlefield. Do you want to learn from them? Can we do anything to achieve an end? If this is really the case, then I will recommend to my superiors that you be removed from the post of battalion commander. I can't look at my subordinates and become such a person. β
Facing Wang Cheng's stern gaze, Li Ziyuan 'touched' his nose, but said with some unconvinced: "Old chief, it's not okay for the devil to transport these chemical weapons to the downhorse stronghold, right?" They transported these chemical weapons to the Fallen Horse Stronghold to deal with our base area. β
"In the past few years, our troops have lost their lives under the chemical weapons of the Japanese army because of the lack of gas masks and the most basic anti-drug knowledge? I can't leave this pile of chemical weapons back to the devils. If you bring it back to Li Jiawa, we won't keep and maintain it, so that this thing is no different from a super bomb. β
"I seized such a bunch of chemical weapons, just in time for the devil to sneak attack. You can't let me wait for the whole army to die here, and you can't respond to these devils with the weapons they use to slaughter our Chinese. Old chief, I'm not unscrupulous. It's just that between the annihilation of the army and the risky fight, we have made a choice in our favor. β
"Old chief, I made up my mind to use this thing, but there really is no way. I don't know how to use this thing, how lethal it is. If I detonate it, will we suffer with ourselves? If I had any other way, who would use this kind of thing to set myself on fire. β
