Chapter 115: The Eastern Hebei Incident (6)

However, Yang Ruihua still underestimated Gu Shoufu, or underestimated Gu Shoufu's madness. At five o'clock, the army took cover alternately and slowly withdrew from Jining City, giving up all the results of a day's hard work.

Seeing that the devils had really retreated, the soldiers cheered excitedly, of course, they were entitled to pride, because they had once again repelled the most elite Sixth Division of the army.

But Yang Ruihua and Zhang Hao in the underground headquarters of Jining City didn't think much about it, they knew that the army would not give up so easily, after all, the North China Front Army Command gave Gu Shoufu, an old devil, a very limited amount of time, although I don't know how many days it will be for the time being, but it won't be too long. It is said that the army is retreating now for the purpose of retreating, there must be some conspiracy.

Yang Ruihua pondered for a while and said: "Lao Zhang, I don't think Gu Shoufu will give up, he has at least more than 10,000 people under Jining City, how can he withdraw like this, there must be a conspiracy here, we must guard against it!" ”

Zhang Hao is an old soldier, and he has a keen observation of war, he smiled and said: "Lao Yang, I agree with this sentence, and I don't think Gu Shoufu has this kind of mind, with his kind of surname that will be avenged, he will not give up if he can't capture Jining City." To be honest, I really admire people like him, hehehehe! ”

Yang Ruihua glanced at Zhang Hao and said: "Let the commander hear this, you kid will shed his skin even if he doesn't die, admire Gu Shoufu, don't you know how much the commander hates this Gu Shoufu and the Sixth Division?" ”

Zhang Hao quipped: "Our old Zhang doesn't dare to mess with the commander, but I know that the commander hates devils, haven't you heard that this time the commander has controlled all the expatriates in Chengde City, but I don't know if all these people will be clicked?" ”

"Not really, I know the Commander better than you, although he hates him very much. Moreover, there is no shortage of killing prisoners in the field, which is a semi-public matter in our military region. However, the commander is still very principled, and he will not do anything to massacre civilians, don't worry, I think the commander is trying to blackmail Shouichi Terauchi! Yang Ruihua said with a smile.

Zhang Hao said: "Lao Yang, I don't know if you have noticed it, in fact, the commander is very similar to this Gu Shoufu's surname, he will not stop until he achieves his goal, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and it is really terrible to be an enemy with such a person!" ”

"Don't say it, the two of them are really a little similar, but the surnames are different. Gu Shoufu is a real aggressor, he came to China to enslave our Chinese people, and his cruelty and ferocity are all inflicted on the suffering of our Chinese nation. But our commander is a national hero, his ruthlessness is only shown to his enemies, and to the masses of the people, our commander is still a man who respects everyone Mr. Han. Yang Ruihua said.

Zhang Hao said: "That's right, but Lao Yang, why did you say that the devil retreated in a good manner?" What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Gu Shoufu, an old devil? ”

Yang Ruihua was actually puzzled in his heart, but after Han Yunhua's teaching for so long, Yang Ruihua still had a little experience in commanding battles, thought about it and said: "The devil's retreat now is not to enter the east of Jidong, it is likely that he is using some kind of trick against us, and this kind of thing will cause irreparable damage to themselves while causing us harm." Of course, it is possible to use some weapons and other things that we haven't seen before, and anyway, it will definitely not be a good thing for the devil to retreat now. ”

After Yang Ruihua's reminder, Zhang Hao suddenly thought of a very terrible thing, and immediately turned to Yang Ruihua and said, "Old Yang, do you think the devil will use poison gas to deal with us?" ”

Yang Ruihua also thought of this problem, but Yang Ruihua immediately thought of another situation, so he said: "Probably not, the devils have fired some poison gas bombs at our positions almost every day in the past few days, and that should be their Red No. 1 special smoke!" But the commander had been prepared, and these things would hardly help us. I don't think Gu Shoufu didn't find out about this situation, how could he stupidly use poison gas bombs to attack us. But it's not impossible to take precautions, Lao Zhang, you still go to the battlefield to take a look, and tell the soldiers to strictly guard against the army's poison gas bomb attacks. ”

"I'll go." After speaking, Zhang Hao turned around and walked out. However, no one expected that Zhang Hao's departure would become a farewell between him and Yang Ruihua.

Neither Han Yunhua nor Yang Ruihua expected the madness and cruelty of the Yue Army, as Zhang Hao expected, the devil retreated in order to use poison gas bombs. However, the poison gas used this time was not the Red No. 1 as Yang Ruihua and others recognized, but the Yellow No. 1, which is known as the prestige in the army. The so-called Red No. 1 and Yellow No. 1 are both chemical weapons used by the Japanese army, which is known as poison gas bombs. Within the invasion of China, the name of the poison gas bomb is special smoke, and because of the different substances that constitute the poison gas, the code name is also different, so the so-called yellow No. 1 and red No. 1 and other titles have appeared.

Most of the poison gases used by the army were phenylchloroacetophenone with the surname of tear gas, biphenyl arsenic chloride and arsenic biphenyl cyanide with the surname of vomiting, mustard gas and Lewis gas with the surname of erosion, and occasionally phosgene, potassium pyridine chloride and cyanic acid gas with the surname of asphyxiation. There are clear international regulations on the use of chemical weapons, and the chemical weapons used by the military are internationally prohibited. In order to cover up the crime of conducting poison gas warfare, the Chinese army has formulated a strict secrecy system, stipulating that poison gas is called special smoke, and that the markings of ammunition and ammunition boxes must be removed before they can be delivered to the troops. For example, yellow No. 1 means mustard gas, yellow No. 2 means Louis erosion surname gas, brown means potassium cyanate, blue means carbonyl chloride, and red means arsenic cyanide. The power of various types of poison gas bombs is also different, and for this reason, the military has also deliberately set up a strict authorization system, first of all, the so-called special cigarettes are produced by domestic or foreign production bases, and this production is top secret. It is then handed over to front-line combat units for use, usually with the personal authorization of the commander of the front army. There are also clear provisions on the authorized use, and if the authorized use is Red No. 1, then the combat unit must use Red No. 1, and cannot use Yellow No. 1 or Yellow No. 2.

It is said that the armed forces have always had great enthusiasm for chemical warfare and have not hesitated to invest tremendous manpower and material resources in the study of chemical warfare. As early as 1928, the experimental production of mustard gas began. Six years later, his ability to produce poison gas had reached the terrible production of one ton of Lewis gas per week, and at the same time, the army's use of chemical weapons had reached a very strong offensive combat capability. In addition to all kinds of poison gas bombs and artillery shells, there are mainly poison gas cylinders, poison distribution devices, poison trucks, poison cylinders, and so on.

The most used poison gas in Chinese mainland is arsenic biphenyl biphenyl, a "red" poison called "red", and in its use, the army requires that it must strive to annihilate the enemy and destroy people. However, in the previous battles with Han Yunhua's subordinates, the poisonous gas of the Yue army almost did not play a role, so there was no talk of destruction certification. However, it is an indisputable fact that one-third of the total ammunition shipped to China is chemical munitions.

There are three types of units that conduct gas warfare: field gas units, mortar brigades, and infantry temporary smoke units. Field gas units and mortar brigades are specialized poison gas units of the Chinese army, which can carry out large-scale poison gas attacks, and the infantry temporary smoke units are poison gas attack units temporarily reorganized from the infantry to carry out local poisoning. The poison gas unit equipped by the Sixth Division is a field gas unit and a mortar brigade, of which the field gas unit is the largest in scale, and the logistics and forward combat units add up to a whole wing, and the attack capability is extremely strong.
