Chapter 116: The Eastern Hebei Incident (7)

In the past, General Terauchi Shouichi only authorized Gu Shoufu's department to use the Red No. 1, but this time Terauchi Shouichi was really forced by Han Yunhua to make an exception and authorize Gu Shoufu to use the Yellow No. 1. Although the color is only red and yellow, its power is far from the same. Red No. 1 is only tear-jerking phenylchloroacetophenone and vomiting biphenyl arsenic chloride and biphenyl cyanide arsenic, while Yellow No. 1 is erosive mustard gas and Lewis gas, and there is a big gap between the power of the two poison gas bombs.

At around 5:30 p.m., at the behest of Gu Shoufu, a field gas unit called the Water Quality Survey Brigade began to fire poison gas bombs into the city of Jining, covering the entire urban area of Jining. For a while, the entire Jining City was filled with smoke, and the gray-white poisonous gas began to spread in Jining City.

The regular field troops of the Eighth Route Army were fine, and the troops in the bomb shelters and some units equipped with gas masks were basically unharmed, but the few local security regiments that were transferred to the city by Yang Ruihua were not so lucky, and like the ordinary people in the city, these soldiers had almost no protective equipment. There is no other way to cope than to cover your nose with a wet towel. In a short period of time, the city of Jining was filled with painful moans......

Ten minutes later, a large number of devils in chemical protective suits once again rushed into the city, and unlike the last time, this time the Japanese army encountered much less resistance. Fortunately, the devils don't have a protective biochemical suit per person, otherwise the Sixth Division will be pressed up, and it won't take long for Jining City to be breached. At that time, Yang Ruihua and others, who were under heavy siege by the Japanese army, would be in danger.

Besides, after Zhang Hao left the command headquarters, he quickly rushed to the forward position with a platoon of guards. As soon as he got on the position, the Japanese army's Type 92 infantry artillery shells were overwhelming, and the time lasted for nearly five minutes, fortunately, Zhang Hao's guard was more clever, and immediately threw Zhang Hao to the ground after hearing the sound of artillery.

Zhang Hao himself was fine, but his guard platoon suffered a lot of losses, and the devil's round of shelling almost reimbursed Zhang Hao's guard platoon, and there were less than ten fighters who still had combat effectiveness, and Zhang Hao ordered these soldiers who were not injured to quickly retreat into the trenches of the forward position with the wounded.

The first line of defense to defend Jining City is the second regiment of the provisional independent first brigade, the regiment commander is called Chen Jie, a person who is very good at fighting, once spent a period of time in Han Yunhua's guard battalion, and was later sent to the independent 77th brigade as a company commander, and then the army was expanded, and he was naturally promoted to battalion commander. Because Han Yunhua was extremely dissatisfied with the work ability of several regiment commanders of the original supplementary regiment, he couldn't even suppress a few soldiers, so three were withdrawn on the spot, and the remaining three were also demoted. And Chen Jie was also transferred by Han Yunhua to the supplementary regiment as the head of the regiment at that time. After the formation of the provisional independent first brigade was completed, Chen Jie's regiment was incorporated into the first brigade, and its number was the second regiment of the provisional independent first brigade.

After the start of the offensive and defensive battle in Jining, the second regiment has always been used as a firefighting team. There was an emergency there, where was the second regiment transferred, and the devils who fought with it were all well-deserved elites of the sixth division, so in more than five days, the combat effectiveness of the second regiment dropped by more than half, and the personnel loss exceeded half. The 1st Regiment and the 5th Regiment in a slightly better situation were transferred by Yang Ruihua to guard the bunker group on the Hushan Heights, so the 2nd Regiment, a half-crippled regiment, was also transferred by Yang Ruihua to the southern front to guard the first line of resistance.

Zhang Hao was in distress just now, and Chen Jie saw it from a short distance, but he and the entire second regiment were pressed by the devil's artillery fire on the position and couldn't raise their heads, even if they wanted to save Zhang Hao, they were powerless. Fortunately, the dog is still smart, if Zhang Hao is allowed to die on his position, he will be the head of the regiment.

As soon as Zhang Hao retreated into the trenches, Chen Jie hurriedly pulled Zhang Hao into the command center built with train sleepers, and said in a loud voice: "Brigade commander, you can frighten me, what do you want to have three long and two short, then the commander will not peel off my skin." ”

Chen Jie's words made Zhang Hao's heart warm, and he wiped the blood on his face and said: "Look at your little bit of interest, don't worry, even if I die on the battlefield, as long as you kid fight devils without ambiguity, the commander won't do anything to you, and if you don't do it, you will be promoted." ”

Chen Jie said: "Don't want such a promotion opportunity, I don't want it, brigade commander, you better live well, this little devil can't jump for a few days, at most the commander will clean them up in half a month, and then see how I teach these dogs." ”,

Speaking of this, Zhang Hao felt the same way, and said angrily: "This group of dogs* is not as good as his grandmother, not to mention the use of poison gas bombs, but also fired at the ordinary people in the city, the real grandmother's beasts are not as good as Chen Jie, you go and tell all the comrades of the second regiment, wait for the devil to come up and beat me hard, don't be afraid of wasting bullets, it's good when the bullets run out, the commander has already earned it for us in Jidong, and we will lose once." ”

"I'll go now, although there are few people here, but the rest are elites, as long as the ammunition is full, I guarantee that even if the devils are all pressed up, we can resist it." After speaking, Chen Jie turned around and ran out.

As soon as the cannon stopped, Chen Jie saw through the high-powered binoculars that a large number of devils wearing biochemical protective suits began to assemble, and slowly drove towards him, and Chen Jie was very familiar with that posture.

The devil's gas bomb did not cause much casualties to the Second Regiment, and the Second Regiment, which had been prepared for a long time, almost had a gas mask on its hands, and even if it didn't, it was replaced by something else. After the artillery stopped, the fighters of the 2nd Regiment quickly jumped out of the dugout and entered the position.

Attacking the southern front was the 36th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, the commander of which was named Genichiro Magen, who was a typical militarist. The casualties of this 23rd Infantry Wing in these few days of attacks were not large, and the casualties of the 23rd Wing were negligible compared to the 45th Infantry Wing, which also belonged to the 36th Infantry Brigade.

But as a staunch supporter of typical militarism, Genichiro Osa hated these cunning Shina troops, who, like a herd of Hokkaido's giant turtles, wrapped their bodies in a thick shell that made it impossible to start. In the opinion of Zhenyuan Ichiro Dazuo, hundreds of bunkers inside and outside Jining City are the turtle shells where the Eighth Route Army is hiding.

Despite this, Genichiro did not have a good way to deal with this Eighth Route Army, and watched as groups of Yamato warriors rushed forward with enthusiasm, and before they could approach the bunker group, they were beaten back again, and fought day after day for more than five days. At first, he also went to inquire about the casualties of the troops, but now he didn't bother to ask, that number was really worrying, and even now Magen Ichiro had to detour when passing by the field hospital. If nothing else, I just don't want to hear the heart-rending howls and painful moans of the wounded.

Today's attack made Genichiro see the hope of victory, so at the first time, he asked for a combat mission like the brigade commander Major General Ushijima Mitsuru, and he wanted to lead the 23rd Infantry Wing of LinkedIn to rush into this small Shina city at the first time, and take the heads of all the Shina people in the city to sacrifice the dead souls of the 6th Division, so that they can also see the enemy's painful expressions in the heavenly kingdom guarded by Amaterasu.

Major General Ushijima, the commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade, agreed to his request and also sent an artillery brigade as artillery support, so before the attack, Genichiro gave the 2nd Regiment a dismount. After the artillery bombardment, the Japanese army rushed towards the tide of charging troops, and the Japanese army was still accustomed to the wave attack method, and the 23rd Infantry Wing, with the brigade as the most basic combat unit, rushed towards it in a dense charging formation.

In Genichiro's view, the backward and poor Shina has no way to talk about protection in the face of the terrifying Yellow No. 1 special smoke, and the simplest anti-poison tool of gas masks does not know if the Eighth Route Army has troop equipment, let alone those advanced biochemical protective clothing. So he ordered the troops to take the forward position of Jining before the Zhina troops reacted, and he wanted to watch those hateful Zhina people die painfully under the attack of special smoke.
