Baode County, Waist Zhuang Town, 13th Wing Headquarters of the Japanese Army.

The reports of the various divisions have been transmitted to the wing headquarters, and the situation of the Japanese army is obviously at a disadvantage at present.

The first reserve brigade of the Japanese army in Hequ County, the second reserve brigade, and the mountain artillery brigade, it is impossible for them to conquer Hequ County, the first independent regiment will not retreat from the county seat, the Japanese army has already suffered casualties, and the third cavalry regiment, armored company, and reconnaissance company troops began to return to the county seat of Hequ County, and the Japanese troops are likely to be flanked.

The Japanese Okamoto Brigade and Araki Brigade on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River in Baode County are currently facing the attack of four battalions of the First Reserve Regiment, and the two infantry brigades currently have only more than 1,300 combatants, and most of these personnel are slightly wounded.

There was no critical situation in the battle on the south bank of the Zhujiachuan River for the time being, but the cavalry units were never able to break through the positions of the Sixth Garrison Regiment, and the Saito Brigade also began to be blocked in the artillery positions.

Faced with these situations, the expression on Momoyo Kunomura's face changed slightly, and his eyes began to turn red as he stared at the map.

He didn't have a good rest for several days and nights, which made Kunomura Momoyo not very good, and when the battle made progress, he was very excited, and his spirit was nothing, but now that his troops were blocked, Kunomura Momoyo's head seemed to explode, and his ears also had tinnitus.

"Carry out a chemical ammunition attack on the troops of the 1st Reserve Regiment, intercept the attack of the Shina troops, and let the cavalry troops immediately abandon the attack on the face-to-face Shina troops, and the cavalry troops will quickly reinforce the Saito Brigade to attack, and after conquering the artillery positions in China, the cavalry troops and the Saito Brigade will immediately carry out annihilation operations against the Shina troops on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, and I will arrange a field artillery brigade to support them in the battle at that time."

After a period of silence, Momoyo Kunomura began to give orders, and he began to relent, approving the use of chemical weapons by the field artillery brigade.

The Japanese troops have never been humanitarians, they have a clear advantage in weapons, but occasionally there will be Chinese ace troops who are at a loss for what to do, whenever they encounter this, the Japanese troops will use chemical weapons, and their artillery will use poison gas bombs to attack.

During the previous shelling, the commander of the field artillery brigade, Captain Shosa, requested the use of poison gas bombs to attack, but considering the situation at the time, Kunomura Momoyo did not approve it.

Now that the Japanese troops are at a disadvantage in an all-round way, Kunomura Momoyo naturally has no worries, and he decides to use poison gas bombs to attack.

At the same time, he immediately began to deploy two reserve infantry brigades and one mountain artillery brigade in Hequ County to garrison Hequ County, and he demanded that these troops abandon the attack on the county seat and be stationed in the villages of Hequ County to contain the Chinese troops in Hequ County.

Kunomura Momoyo did not let the reserve 1st and 2nd brigades evacuate, he knew that once these troops were evacuated now, they were likely to be attacked by the Chinese cavalry troops, so he simply deployed these troops in Hequ County to contain the troops in Hequ County.

He believed that with these two reserve brigades stationed and the mountain artillery brigade to assist in the battle, even if there were many Chinese troops in Hequ County, the Japanese troops would be able to hold their positions.

Kunomura Momoyo began to arrange for the communications corps to generate electricity, and orders began to be sent out from the wing headquarters.

The first to receive the order was naturally the Okamoto Brigade and the Araki Brigade, and after the two Japanese soldiers received the telegram, they immediately abandoned their positions and began to assemble towards the town of Gyino.

"Deputy commander, the little devils have retreated on all fronts, do we launch a pursuit?"

The Japanese troops began to withdraw, and the battalion commanders at the front immediately began to consult Sun Ziyuan to ask if they would begin the pursuit.

Sun Ziyuan was a little suspicious of the sudden withdrawal of the Japanese troops, he knew that the command of the Japanese troops was not simple, and the Japanese army still had the ability to fight, but they all withdrew, and this matter was obviously fraudulent.

Before Sun Ziyuan could give any instructions, the Japanese field artillery brigade began to shoot, and one shell after another began to hit the Chinese troops.

Unlike in the past, there was no shrapnel after the shell exploded, but instead puffs of yellow smoke began to appear.

"Battalion commander, what are the little devils doing, what's going on with all this smoke." A soldier asked, standing behind the commander of a battalion, Yoon Jin.

"Gas bombs, get a towel in water." When Yin Jin saw the yellow smoke, he shouted loudly.

Thanks to the "care" of the little devils, every soldier of the 1st Reserve Regiment had a military kettle, and everyone carried a towel.

Even though his own troops had not encountered a Japanese poison gas bomb attack, Sun Weiguo's training in this area was very strict.

Hearing the three words of gas bombs, the fighters immediately began to take out the water bottles they carried with them, they quickly poured water, and then covered their mouths and noses.

The yellow smoke continued to spread, and the four battalions of troops were completely enveloped in yellow smoke, and the fighters reacted quickly, covering their noses and mouths with wet towels.

But this is a dirt method after all, and even if it does, there are still soldiers in the various departments who inhale the poisonous gas, and begin to cough, and their eyes become red and swollen.

Sun Ziyuan immediately began to give orders, and the warriors quickly moved towards the north, avoiding the smoke zone.

After the field artillery brigade fired gas bombs at the 1st Reserve Regiment, they began to fire grenades at the artillery company to support the Saito brigade.

The cavalry units led by Iwata Fumizo also began to quickly bypass the positions of the 6th Garrison Regiment, and they began to cooperate with Saito's brigade.

Kunomura Momoyo was clearly an excellent commander, and he used poison gas bombs to relieve the pressure created by the 1st Reserve Regiment, and at the same time began to pose a great threat to the artillery battery.

Shanxi, Wuxiang County, Zhuangbi Village, Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army of the Second Theater.

Vice President Peng looked at the report of the 120th Division, and he looked towards the area of Hequ County, obviously Division Commander He reported the situation of the Left Route Army.

"The number of Japanese puppet troops is more than 10,000, Wei Guo is a little impulsive this time, Division Commander He reported that the Japanese army used poison gas bombs, and the situation of the Left Route Army is a little bad."

After handing over the telegram to Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, Vice President Peng pointed to the location of Hequ County on the map, and he said in a worried tone.

"Vice President Peng, I think you still give an order to Sun Weiguo in the name of the headquarters, this time it is a mandatory order, let the Left Route Army give up the decisive battle with the Japanese puppet army." The left deputy chief of staff looked at Vice President Peng, and he suggested softly.

"Sending a compulsory telegram to the Left Route Army may affect Sun Weiguo's command." Vice President Peng shook his head and said, he looked at the map and began to ponder.
