Chapter 185: Lost
Under the cover of the fog, the Japanese released a large amount of erosive mustard gas in the fog, which led me to believe that they had already developed the poison gas in that underground gas chamber, and not before we destroyed it.
In charge of garrisoning is my battalion, plus Zhou Dalei's mixed battalion, and half of the veterans and recruits are recruits, but most of them, whether they are veterans or recruits, are encountering poison gas warfare for the first time.
Even if many Qiu Ba had gas masks, they didn't know what to wear, and they casually buttoned their faces and went to fight with the Japanese army.
As a result, after a while, I felt a tingling pain in my throat, and my hands scratched my throat desperately. A few minutes later, the throat was scratched, and the poisonous gas immediately invaded the broken skin, and in an instant, there were large blood marks similar to those burned by strong acid, which was particularly terrifying to watch.
The tragic situation of these gas-smoked soldiers seriously interfered with the judgment of the others, who feared that even if they wore gas masks, they would end up in this fate.
Excessive fear made people lose their fighting spirit, and as more and more Japanese soldiers shouted "Wuya" in the fog and frantically rushed to the defensive position, our position was actually a little chaotic.
Some of the soldiers began to turn and run, trying to escape from the area shrouded in poisonous fog, not because they were afraid of bayonets and bullets, but because they were so frightened by the gas that they lost the courage to continue fighting.
I was in a gas mask, looking at all this, and shouting, "Stand up!" Resist me! The devils are this wave of death squads, put on gas masks and kill them! ”
We fought the Japanese in the fog and in poison gas, and in this hand-to-hand combat, the inferiority of our weapons was immediately apparent.
The Japanese came prepared, all with bayonet rifles, and more than half of our soldiers were armed with Thompson submachine guns. Bayonet to butt, advanced weapons at this time are not as good as a large knife, we are only relying on the superiority of numbers, we can finally block the impact of the Japanese army.
Ma Shun picked up the butt of his gun and knocked over a Japanese soldier, and before he could make up for it, another Japanese soldier rushed up with a strange scream, and I half-squatted on the ground, holding my Mauser pistol "Bang bang bang!" "Shoot down this Japanese soldier.
Now our army and the Japanese army are stuck together, because they are afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, heavy weapons have all become decorations, and they are completely useless, and the few Zhongzheng rifles have become good weapons at this time.
Ani hid more than ten meters away, kept pulling the trigger, and shot the Japanese soldiers who were only looking for us to fight bayonets. A Japanese soldier found that Ani's bullet was not missing, and rushed towards Ani, Ani was about to raise his gun to aim, but Tan Weimin caught up with him and knocked over the Japanese soldier with the butt of a gun.
The two of them rolled and scuffled on the muddy ground, and Ani didn't dare to shoot after a few glances, she was worried that Tan Weimin would be injured by mistake.
Another Japanese soldier stabbed down one of our soldiers, and suddenly pounced on Ani from behind, a soldier lying on the ground, covered in blood and dying, suddenly hugged the thigh of the Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier could not get rid of him, and stabbed frantically with a bayonet, and the bayonet flew sideways in the mist with flesh and blood.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Ani fired three shots in succession and shot the Japanese soldier who was held and could not get out. The comrade who was stabbed several times by the Japanese soldier did not let go until he died, hugged the thigh of the Japanese soldier tightly, and died with his enemy.
Although Tan Weimin has some kung fu under his hands, he has never experienced this kind of hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. He was originally pressed on the body of the Japanese soldier, but the Japanese soldier twisted his body and actually rode on Tan Weimin's body, punched Tan Weimin in the face, reached out and pulled out a short knife from the leggings, screaming and raising the knife to stab down.
Bang! A gunshot rang out, and the Japanese soldier piled up on Tan Weimin, and Ani shot him in the head, and a large amount of hot blood spurted on Tan Weimin's face and clothes.
Ani yelled at Tan Weimin: "Take care of yourself!" ”
We went all out to fight hand-to-hand with these Japanese soldiers who were killed in the fog, and I soon found that although the Japanese troops who rushed forward head-on, although there were two squads and nearly 100 people, they were not the main attackers in this sneak attack.
This part of the Japanese army only used poison gas to disturb the morale of our troops and create panic and confusion, and they were not enough to break down the defenses of our hundreds of men. The real attack of the Japanese army is to kill the main force from the tunnel!
We were holding back this wave of Japanese troops who were determined to die in poison gas, and the defenders of our army who were responsible for guarding the tunnels had already joined the battle group, and the tunnels had become a place where no one could handle them.
The second wave of the Japanese attack was to suddenly rush out of the tunnel, they did not rush blindly and randomly, and immediately occupied the favorable terrain after rushing out of the tunnel, forming an attack state.
Tom tom! In the fog, we heard the sound of Japanese artillery shells, and when I was still wondering if the Japanese were not afraid of bombing their own people by mistake, the white mist began to fill with red gas, which was another batch of poison gas bombs dropped by the Japanese army.
Fog, poison gas, sneak attack.
- The Japanese army smoked our vigilant sentries with poison gas, and took advantage of the fog to divide the troops into two ways, one rushed to the position to create chaos, and the other way was covered up in the tunnel we left them intact! Like a bunch of mad devils, they rampaged through the poisonous mist.
The Japanese troops who rushed out of the tunnel were no longer fighting us with bayonets, they were the first to rush out with a group of light machine gunners, and they were obviously stronger than those of us who had just occupied this place for a short time.
The crooked light machine gun was quickly set up, "Tutu Tu Bu "Bullet casings fell to the ground in piles, and bullets pierced through the poisonous fog and fired at our troops who were fleeing.
Our garrison had at least four or five hundred troops, and the Japanese army was overwhelmed in a short period of an hour, and was driven out of the first defensive position in a hurry.
We not only left behind the corpses of countless comrades, but also left behind our small military supplies, and I retreated from the Japanese army's first defensive position with the remnants of the defeated soldiers.
It took us two days and three nights to take their first defensive position, but we lost it in less than a day.
Such a failure made Huang Wenlie unacceptable, he was almost a rare loss of control, roaring in front of us like thunder, and said: "What kind of battle is this? Yes? We paid such a big price and gave it back to others in less than a day? ”
Wang Tingyue sighed and said, "Alas, not to mention the loss of soldiers, the materials, ammunition and those heavy weapons are too late to be withdrawn. ”
Huang Wenlie became more and more annoyed and said, "I understand, you just go and send ammunition supplies to the Japanese army!" ”
