On the position of the 5th Division, most of the sleeping troops were a little flustered after the sudden shelling and bombardment, but there were no mistakes, and most of the Japanese troops were in the fortifications.

Dead holding his head and hiding in the fortifications, the experienced devils still lay in the trenches with their hands on the ground.

Captain Motoshima, who had survived repeated attacks, was even more alert this time, and when he was awakened by the sound of the engine of the Air Force of the Reading Division, he dodged into a bomb shelter next to him.

Compared with the subordinates on the position, there was chaos in the headquarters of the 5th Division, and Shouichi Terauchi, who had drunk with Chief of Staff Ando Toshiyoshi last night, was so startled that he almost rolled off the marching bed.

Fortunately, he was supported by the adjutant who rushed to report the news and the squadron leader of the divisional guard squadron, so he dragged his drowsy body and hid in a terrified dug in the air-raid shelter dug by his subordinates.

Before entering the cave, Shouichi Terauchi came back to his senses and roared at his adjutant: "Immediately send a telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, requesting that aviation units be sent immediately to provide air support." ”

…………………… On the position of the 1st Division, similar to the 5th Division, most of the devils of the 1st Division were afraid to hide in the trench fortifications, and did not dare to show their heads at all.

The only thing that is better than the 5th Division is that the 1st Division has a lot of more air-raid shelters, which is the result of the persistence of the division commander Lin Xianzhi.

At this moment, many of the surnames of the 1st Division were saved.

The division headquarters of Lin Xianzhi, the commander of the 1st Division, was built in a semi-embedded manner behind a col, and as long as it was not directly hit by aerial bombs, it was generally very safe.

At this time, Lin Xianzhi was also awakened by the sudden air raid and artillery bombardment.

"What madness is there going on in China? Such a fierce aerial bombardment and artillery bombardment just after dawn? Lin Xianzhi seemed to be talking to himself and as if asking, and said to the chief of staff, Asano.

Asano Yuto Osa shook his head and said, "I can't guess what the Shina people are trying to do." ”

"Order all troops, no matter what, to prepare for the attack!" Lin Xianzhi ordered.

"Hay!" Asano Yuto suddenly bowed his head, and then walked towards the telephone with his saber on his shoulder, and picked up the telephone: "Missi Mixi......"

………………………… The air force and artillery of the Reading Division carried out a fierce bombardment of the three divisions of the Chinese army for an hour, and at this moment the air force of the Chinese army was halfway through.

Almost ploughed the defensive positions of the three divisions of the devil back and forth several times.

The entire south of Qinglong Mountain was filled with fire and smoke, and within ten minutes, the artillery of the Reading Division opened fire again, but this time it was not a high-explosive bomb, but a poison gas bomb that only sounded but did not explode.

The Air Force also went and returned, and while the smoke of gunfire was still clearing, they began to drop a large number of poison gas bombs.

In the bunker of the headquarters of the 1st Division, Lin Xianzhi listened to the sharp and piercing sound of air raids and bombs and deafening artillery sounds heard outside again.

Lin Xianzhi's face changed greatly, and he said with anger: "Baga Yalu, the people of China are too deceitful, when will the Imperial Army Aviation arrive?" ”

"A large number of Imperial Army Aviation troops are on their way, and it is expected to arrive in half an hour at most, General, please be calm!" Chief of Staff Asano Yuto said.

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the sky above their headquarters, "......"

Asano Yongdou's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pounce on Lin Xianzhi and shouted, "Division Commander be careful!" ”

However, to the surprise of Lin Xianzhi and Asano Yuto, a bomb fell at the entrance of their headquarters very coincidentally, and it did not explode.

When Lin Xianzhi and Asano Yuto got up to find out, they were horrified to find that a puff of russet smoke had poured in from the headquarters.

"Yaga! It's poison gas! Lin Xian's heart was horrified, and he hurriedly covered his nose and ran out.

The chief of staff, Yuto Asano, also had a drastic change in expression, and hurriedly held his breath and ran out, but when they ran out of the headquarters, they found out in despair.

The guards outside were all covered in poisonous gas, and some of them had already foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground with convulsions.

Yuto Asano and Hayashi Sennoto are not immortals, nor are they professional divers, and they can't stop breathing for long periods of time.

After running out, both of them quickly inhaled poisonous gas to varying degrees, and soon began to have poisonous hair.

Fortunately, the gas masks sent to them by the captain of the baggage wing were soon avoided, which prevented the two from being poisoned to death.

However, the officers and men of the other 1st Division were not so lucky, and the gas masks under the jurisdiction of the baggage wing could no longer be delegated to the front-line troops in time for this chaos.

Compared with the 1st Division, the 5th Division was even more miserable, they were already killed and wounded by the open and ground fire of the Reading Division, and they suffered heavy losses, and they were suddenly attacked by poison gas bombs.

A large number of devil soldiers were poisoned, and even the captain of Motoshima, who has always been extremely lucky, was not spared this time, hiding in the air-raid shelter, he could not even get out of the air-raid shelter, and was poisoned to death by dense poison gas.

The commander of the 5th Division, Toshiichi Terauchi, and the chief of staff, Toshiyoshi Ando, were slightly more lucky, and the aerial bombs and poison gas bombs fired by the artillery were quite far from their hiding places.

By the time the poisonous gas had filled the air, they had fled in advance in great panic and narrowly escaped.

As for the 11th Division, because the current division commander Taketo Shotaro is a straw bag, his performance is even more unbearable, and the fifty-four-year-old Taketo Shotaro values his own life even more.

Therefore, when the shelling and bombardment of the Reading Division had just begun, he handed over the task of remaining behind to his chief of staff, and he himself took a group of guards to hide in the mountains and forests behind the division headquarters.

Compared with the 1st Division and the 5th Division, the 11th Division is quite different in terms of the quality of its commanders and the quality of its soldiers, and even they are not comparable with the 9th Division.

All the soldiers were recently drawn from the reserve veterans, and the division had been formed for less than two months.

They are well-armed and well-trained compared to the average squadron, but compared to a true division of a hundred battles, they can at best be counted as a group of well-trained recruits who have not yet seen blood.

Although most of the officers at all levels of the army have graduated from the army non-commissioned officer school, those who really experienced the Russo-Japanese war more than 20 years ago have already been promoted to high positions.

Most of the middle and lower-ranking officers are graduates who have just graduated from military academies.

As a result of various factors, when the 11th Division was again subjected to repeated heavy bombardments by the Reading Division, the casualties were extremely heavy, the morale of the troops was fluctuating, and the morale of the troops plummeted.

When the Reader's gas attack took place about ten minutes later.

On Qinglong Mountain, more than 10,000 officers and men of the 702nd and 704th Regiments, as well as the garrison regiment and the airport reading battalion, put on gas masks and held weapons, rushed out of the fortifications one after another, and launched a full-front attack on the army from the front.

"Little devil, your grandfather Wu Chengfeng is here!" The second battalion of the garrison regiment, under the leadership of regiment commander Wu Chengfeng, charged at full speed, almost the most in the whole division.

Wu Chengfeng personally held a general-purpose machine gun, with bullet chains on his body, and took the lead, which greatly boosted the morale of the officers and men of the station, and they followed closely behind and accelerated the charge.

"Attack!" As soon as Zhang Xinghan gave the order, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles of the armored company, which had been waiting for a long time, started one after another, roaring towards the rear of the army.

"Kill!" Sabuli raised his saber and shouted.

"Kill!" Nearly 3,000 cavalrymen behind him raised their swords in response, shouting and killing to instigate the war horses, swearing to follow each other to the death!

The charging group composed of thousands of cavalry was as black as the tide, the horse's head was rushing, the horse's hooves were galloping, and the bright swords formed a forest of swords, filled with an endless aura of slaughter.

"Brothers, the time has come to be ashamed, rush forward and destroy Xiao Yueben!" Feng Zhanhai suddenly got up with a crooked light machine gun and roared, and then took the lead and rushed forward.

Behind him, thousands of Jilin Rescue [***] soldiers jumped up one after another, and followed the assault troops of his Reading Force Division to rush forward.

Guo Zhong also rushed up with the guard battalion, and Zhang Xinghan was left with Shen Xingye's reconnaissance company responsible for guarding a large number of military vehicles.

Behind the position of the 1st Division, the division commander Lin Xianyuki, who had already put on gas masks, and the chief of staff, Yuto Asano, had just evacuated to safety under the escort of the surviving guards.

Suddenly there was a sound of killing in the direction of Qinglong Mountain, and Lin Xianzhi hurriedly ordered: "Quick, order the troops to block it with all their might, and you must block the attack of the Zhina, hurry up!" Cough...... Cough...... Ahem......"

Obviously, Lin Xianzhi had been poisoned a lot, and before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cough violently.

In fact, Lin Xianzhi was very uncomfortable at the moment, and an unbearable feeling of nausea was constantly tormenting him.

"Division commander, there is poisonous gas everywhere, and the wings are probably powerless to stop it!" Chief of Staff Yuto Asano said with a sad face.

"Yaga!" Lin Xianzhi angrily gave Asano Yongdou a slap, threw the gas mask in his hand to him, and strictly ordered: "Go immediately, you will personally go to command the troops!" ”

"Hay!" Asano had no choice but to bow his head and answer, put on a gas mask, and return to the position full of poison gas.

However, once he went, he never returned.

........................ "Da Da Da...... Bang bang ...... "Wu Chengfeng and his troops are storming the forward positions of the 1st Division.

This place has long been taken care of by the air force and artillery of the Reading Division, and most of the devils guarding the front line have been killed or poisoned by gas bombs.

Only a few remnants of the poisoned defeated army remained, still resisting stubbornly.

Wu Chengfeng swept with a machine gun, killed all the wounded soldiers of several devils, rushed into the devil's position with flying steps, crossed its first trench, and continued to rush forward with his subordinates.

Most of the officers and men of the charging Reading Division opened the way with submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns, and when they encountered resistance, they went up and fired a fierce strafing attack.

From time to time, individual riflemen with accurate marksmanship also half-crouched down to fire a few shots, specifically targeting the remaining devil machine gunners.
