Chapter 1357 refers to the deer as the horse

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Syrian government radio station once again broadcast in Chinese and English, broadcasting the full text of An Yi's solemn statement on the brazen use of poison gas bombs by the Japanese army in the war in eastern Hebei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as An Yi's remarks of "not hesitating to burn jade" came out, it caused a panic all over the world, especially the high-level military and political leaders who were secretly discussing the action against China behind closed doors, because it would take some time for the fighters to return to various places after transferring the fighters to participate in the war in North China, and for the huge territory and colonies, the current number of fighters is simply a drop in the bucket, and they simply cannot resist the attack of poison gas bombs dropped from a height of 10,000 meters, so they feel a trace of fear of death.

For this reason, the joint meeting of the five prime ministers, the General Staff Department, and the Military Command Department was quickly interrupted, and Prime Minister Konoe Fumima held a press conference at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, declaring that it is a disciplined country and will never use poison gas bombs prohibited by public international law in war. Lu Xiang Sugiyama Yuan said that he would actively cooperate with relevant countries to thoroughly investigate the matter and give an explanation to the people all over the world. Foreign Minister Hirota Hiroki appealed to European and American countries that the high-ranking generals of the Chinese People's Republic of China are willing to defy the condemnation of the world and openly call for the use of poison gas bombs against the civilians of a sovereign country. In addition, today's air raids on the islands and Taiwan, the Ryukyus, North Korea and other places have caused a large number of civilian casualties, and the government calls on all peace-loving countries to impose severe sanctions on the Chinese government and military, so that the world can restore the original order and stability.

Although it was late at night in Europe and the United States, the matter was of great importance, and governments of various countries convened emergency meetings to discuss the matter urgently.

The US government held a press conference at 5 a.m. Washington time and 6 p.m. Nanjing time, at which the spokesman said that An Yi, a senior general of the squadron, openly threatened to use poison gas bombs prohibited by international conventions against civilians of other countries, which seriously violated relevant conventions and international norms.

The US Government solemnly promises to increase economic exchanges with the "victim countries" and jointly maintain peace and stability in the Far East. At the same time, in order to ensure that the United States can have sufficient air defense and reduce the harm to innocent civilians, the U.S. government will urge Congress to pass a bill that allows the United States to purchase advanced fighter jets for the purpose of maintaining the safety of its airspace.

The US government's statement immediately received a positive response from the government, saying that the combined forces of the world will expel the death threat imposed on the Chinese air force by the Chinese people, and the government will actively cooperate with it and contribute its own strength to peace in the Far East.

The British government issued an emergency statement at 6:20 p.m. Nanjing time, feeling incomprehensible about the ignorance and arrogance of An Yi, a senior general of the squadron, saying that as a party to the League of Nations and the Geneva Conventions, Britain will not allow the appearance of such weapons of mass destruction that endanger mankind, and that Britain will cooperate with the United States and send biological and chemical weapons inspection teams to chemical factories in southwest China to conduct inspections to avoid poison gas bombs causing greater harm to human beings. At the same time, a spokesman for the British government warned the Chinese government and military to cooperate and accept the supervision of the international community.

Subsequently, the two senior generals of the British team, in the capacity of victims, listed the "disgraceful role" played by the local warlord An Jiajun in the Yunnan-Burma border dispute in the past few years, saying that such an army is not conducive to regional stability, and that it is irresponsible for the Nationalist Government to tolerate such a general holding an important position in the central government and the army, and that the An Jiajun, which belongs to the military and political system in the southwest of the country, bears unshirkable responsibility for the large-scale war that broke out between China and Japan.

Since then, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, the Netherlands and other signatories of the convention have issued statements condemning the irresponsible remarks of An Yi, the commander of the An Jiajun, the German government called on the warring parties to remain calm and not to expose mankind to the threat of poison gas bombs, and France, which has close business relations with the An Jiajun, stressed that it is necessary to respect the truth of the facts, find out whether poison gas bombs were used in the war in North China, and then discuss whether to take sanctions against the Chinese government and army is not in a hurry. But this call has not been heeded by other countries.

Only the Soviet Union understood the remarks of An Yi, the commander of the An Jiajun Army, and believed that it was understandable that a country that had been bullied by other countries had such an excessive reaction to the despicable and shameless gas bomb attacks carried out by the aggressors in the Great Patriotic War against aggression.

At the same time, the spokesman of the Soviet Government solemnly declared that the Soviet Union has a powerful system for the production of biological and chemical weapons, and although the Soviet Union has promised not to be the first to use poison gas bombs against other countries, it will not give up its right to use poison gas bombs to defend the territorial and sovereign integrity of its homeland when it is invaded by other countries.

Unlike the overreaction abroad, there is a lot of applause in China.

Because at 12 o'clock at noon, the Syrian government radio station broadcast the bombing of the mainland and Taiwan, Ryukyu, and North Korea by the Anjia Army Air Force.

Now that the Japanese army has used chemical weapons, Hu Jialin, Huang Zhi, Zhang Chengzhu, and other famous anti-Japanese generals who have frequently appeared in the good news recently, have been injured by poison gas bombs.

By 8 o'clock in the evening, the remnants of the Fifth Army Corps had safely evacuated to the county seat of Changping, and after the whole regiment was united into the 70th Division and the guard brigade directly under it, a total of more than 30,000 men, most of whom were wounded and sick, and nearly half of the wounded and sick were injured in the poison gas bomb attack.

At the same time, the entire process of the Legion's poison gas bomb attack and the subsequent war report were sent to An Yi's desk.

The Japanese army used more than 100 fighters in this campaign, of which more than half were bombers, and all of them were poison gas bombs. Poison gas bombs are mainly "mustard gas" and "hydrocyanic acid", of which "mustard gas" is the representative of erosive poison, the Japanese army called it "Huang No. 1", this poison is droplet and aerosol after being applied, people are poisoned after inhalation through the respiratory tract or skin contamination, and in severe cases, it will cause systemic poisoning and even death; And "hydrocyanic acid" is a systemic toxic poison, the Japanese army called it "Tea No. 1", is a kind of rapid killing poison, can destroy the blood oxygen supply capacity, causing body tissue hypoxia, once the concentration reaches a certain level, the poisoned person can cause death in one minute to three minutes.

Lu Yixuan recounted in the telegram as follows:

"At that time, the convoy transporting chemical defense suits and the convoy of the field hospital were all blocked in the narrow area between the Jiangang River and the Chaobai River, and during the Japanese air raid, I accepted Commander Hu's order to lead people to evacuate and hide, and after discovering that the Japanese bombers were dropping poison gas bombs on a large scale from the south to the north, I immediately distributed the chemical defense suits to the soldiers and the wounded and sick around me. Fortunately, the Japanese fighter group did not pay attention to the convoy five kilometers west of the town, which was all covered with a thick camouflage net, circled in the sky, flew from the south to the west bank of the Chaobai River, and poured thousands of poison gas bombs on the positions of the guard brigade and the 170th Division directly under our command, and then flew urgently southward. Afterwards, we received a report that it was a Japanese reconnaissance plane that had discovered a large number of Chinese fighters that had taken off from our Baoding airfield and had come to intercept them, and that the Japanese fighter group knew that it was invincible and took the lead in retreating; it is said that a fierce air battle broke out on the Xianghe line, and the Japanese army again lost more than 40 fighters.

However, at this time, I couldn't think too much, and after ordering the logistics officers and soldiers to quickly allocate chemical defense uniforms to various departments, because I was worried that the Japanese army would take advantage of the spread of the poisonous fog to take the opportunity to enter Beiwu Town, in order to ensure the safety of the corps headquarters, I took the special task force and drove back to the rear, at this time the town and outside the town were already shrouded in thick smoke, and the sound of gunfire was faintly heard in the south.

I knew that something was wrong, so I immediately rushed to the southern position with the special service group, and through the smoke with visibility of only five or six meters, I found that the Japanese troops wearing chemical protective clothing had begun to attack. At this time, the poisonous fog inside and outside the town began to dissipate, and the doctors and nurses of the Legion Field Hospital wearing chemical protective suits began to enter the town for rescue.

As the visibility increased, I was presented with a miserable hellish scene, the trenches were full of corpses of our soldiers and soldiers, the faces of the officers and soldiers were all scratched by themselves, the wounds were still bubbling with yellow blood bubbles, and some soldiers even scratched their camouflage uniforms, and in order to alleviate the pain, many of them chose to commit suicide, their broken nails were stuck deep in their throats, and their eyes turned into blood.

After a careful search, I found the commander and chief of staff in the underground command post behind the position. Because their mouths and noses were covered and their bodies were covered with thick marching quilts, they did not inhale much poisonous gas, but they remained in a coma. In the entire underground command post, except for the brigade commander Zheng Songjian, who was stunned by his guards, covered his mouth with a wet handkerchief and stuffed it into the corner of the wall and wrapped it in bedding, the rest of the staff officers were all killed, and the six guards brought by the commander and the chief of staff were killed at the same time.

In the tunnel at the end, we found the officers and soldiers of the 17th Division who were resting and standby, because the department was all veterans, when the poison gas bomb attacked, most of them correctly chose to wrap their faces with a towel dipped in their own urine, and then put their heads on the ground, and quickly dug a small hole to stuff their heads in to dodge, not many sacrificed, but most of them also fell into a coma, only a few people could still stay conscious, and Zhang Zuying, the division commander, was also unconscious.

Subsequently, we found Deputy Commander Zhang Chengzhu and other generals and colonels of the headquarters in the temporary headquarters of the Land Temple Regiment in the north of the town, because there was a large water tank in the main hall of the Land Temple, and our regiment filled it with water after stationing, most of the generals were able to cover their mouths and noses with wet clothes and wet handkerchiefs in time, but because the poison gas could enter the human body through the skin, and the amount of poison gas bombs thrown by the Japanese army this time was large and lasted for a long time, coupled with the hot and stuffy weather and poor air circulation, the damage of the poison gas bombs was more serious, and the generals fell into a coma.

In order to ensure the safety of all the wounded and sick, Yang Guan, who came out, led his troops back to help, responsible for guarding the southern line of Beiwu Town, and at the same time, several divisions of the Japanese army on the eastern front slowly pressed towards our department after a short rest. At 1:10 p.m., Division Commander Yang Guan was seriously injured and carried down the line of fire, and I had no more generals to send, so I had to personally lead my troops into the front-line position, until all the wounded and sick were evacuated to Shunyi County, and then I joined Yang Jiuxiao and retreated. In order to stop the Japanese attack, the Model Battalion and the Engineer Regiment blasted and blew up all the bridges on the Jiangang River, Chaobai River, and Crescent River.

By 8 o'clock in the evening, under the protection of General Song Mingxuan of the 29th Group Army, our troops had safely retreated to Changping County. At the time of writing, the specific losses of the corps were still being further cleaned up. Lu Yixuan 8 p.m. on August 8, the 26th year of the Republic of China"

Although Lu Yixuan did not exaggerate too much the thrilling images of being attacked by poison gas bombs and fighting with the Japanese pursuers, everyone could feel the tremendous pressure he was under at that time from this nearly 1,000-word message.

An Yi quickly issued an order: At 12 o'clock tonight, the entire Air Force Regiment was dispatched to cover the ten AN5 large passenger planes of Southwest Airlines, and all the injured generals and colonels were airlifted to the Syrian General Hospital for emergency rescue. Due to the lack of fuel, the group will land at Luoyang and Yichang airports for refueling on the way, and the Anjia Army Command has urgently coordinated with the Central Air Force and received support.

The Fifth Army Corps was temporarily assumed as the commander of the corps, and after resting in Changping for a night, he led his troops to Datong by train. The expert rescue team dispatched by the Syrian General Hospital has set up a large field hospital in the southern suburbs of Datong with a large amount of medicines and diagnostic and treatment equipment, and they will work with doctors and nurses from the field hospital of the Fifth Army Corps to rescue the wounded officers and men.
