After receiving the final decision from the country, Okamura Ninji, who was deploying the blocking war, was undoubtedly relieved. www.biquge.info With this resolution, Okamura could also guess that the cabinet ministers had realized that the campaign was very unfavorable to them.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese army had to adjust its combat deployment and find ways to seek a new direction for breakthrough. And the current flames of war in Europe undoubtedly made the Japanese see their opportunity to dominate Asia.

Even the rapid rise of the Eighth Route Army has caused them a certain crisis. But in fact, at present, almost all of China's large and medium-sized cities are under the control of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army also controls China's sea dominance.

As long as it always maintained its absolute superiority in the navy, the Japanese army could launch an attack on the interior of China at any time. Avoiding the edge for the time being is nothing more than adjusting their operational deployment for greater East Asia co-prosperity.

In fact, at the same time as the Japanese Cabinet made strategic adjustments. Not only was the North China Front given an order to retreat to Tianyi, but also a new instruction was given to the Kwantung Army to end the counterattack on the Eighth Route Army.

All participating troops will be transferred back one after another to ensure the safety of the Northeast production base. At the same time, we will intensify public security control over the Northeast, so that the Northeast, which is currently in a state of chaos, can quickly restore its pre-war stability.

Regarding the operational instructions issued by the Cabinet of the Military Department, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Mei Xian Mijiro, was undoubtedly very unwilling to say: "Yaga! Now that the battle has been going on, let's stop fighting. Aren't all our earlier deployments in vain? ”

In the face of Mei Xian Mijiro's unwillingness, the staff officer also said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency Commander, as far as the current situation is concerned, I think it is understandable that the military department has made such a decision.

As far as the current situation in Tohoku is concerned, our first priority is to ensure local security and factory stability. During this time, the sabotage actions of the Eighth Route Army have had a very bad impact on us.

If it weren't for the fact that we had a certain amount of material reserves earlier, I am afraid that the ammunition and materials needed by many troops at present would be greatly affected. Once this kind of consequence is caused, I am afraid that the ministers will also hold us accountable! ”

Accompanied by the staff officer's words, Mei Yan Mijiro finally said: "I'm still unwilling!" To send electricity to the 2nd Division, I gave them permission to use special ammunition. In any case, it was necessary to break through the fortifications set up by the Eighth Route Army outside Jinzhou.

Even if we want to cancel the counteroffensive, we must let the Eighth Route Army know that the Kwantung Army is not an object to be provoked. As long as they break down their fortifications in Jinzhou, our troops behind them can also attack from all sides. ”

'Your Excellency Commander, if you use special ammunition, you are afraid that it will attract the attention of the international community, right?' ’

At this time, who cares about the life and death of these people. As long as the empire is as strong as ever, no one will say anything about us. What's more, it won't be long before the empire will have to take action against those European and American powers.

Since we will become enemies with them sooner or later, let us tell those people through this incident that the Empire will do whatever it takes to complete our combat deployment in the process of fighting. What's more, how can other countries not have special bombs? ’

In order to vent the evil anger in his heart, Mei Mijiro finally decided to let the front-line troops use special ammunition. Although he knew that spreading such a thing would have a bad impact on their military and national image.

But in fact, since the Japanese army launched a full-scale campaign of aggression against China, they have not used special ammunition once or twice. Now that the Northeast has entered winter, why not use it once?

With the order of Mei Yan Mijiro, the Second Division of the Kwantung Army, which was far away in Jinzhou, received this secret order. The division commander also felt that the commander's sense of revenge was really strong!

It's just that as the commander of the division, Yoshimoto Sadachi also understands that there is no mercy on the battlefield. Any move that helps to win can be used. And special ammunition also exists in the armament of the main combat division of the Japanese army.

Whether it is used or not depends on the commander. To be honest, after losing the previous attack, Sadachi Yoshimoto also thought about using special ammunition. It's just that he doesn't want to bear such a charge.

Now that there is a secret order from the headquarters, it means that once a bad impact is caused, then the person who will ultimately be responsible is no longer him. To put it bluntly, he was just doing what he was told.

'Command the artillery units, prepare for the reloading of special ammunition. The attacking troops were immediately issued gas masks. If this time fails, the commander in charge of the front line command will let him be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ’

'Hey! ’

The staff officer who took the order knew very well that this was a dead order. He also believes that after this order is given to the commanders of the front, he believes that the commanders of the front line will also know that they have no way out.

On the other hand, during this period of time, the Higashino Third Column, which successfully blocked the Second Division of the Kwantung Army, never relaxed its vigilance against the Japanese army. And its reconnaissance unit also successfully lurked behind the forward positions of the Japanese army during this time.

Faced with the sudden abnormal behavior of the Japanese army after a few days of rest. These lurking reconnaissance troops naturally sensed that something was wrong with the little devils. When they found out that the Japanese army was distributing gas masks, they also knew what that meant.

'Quick, immediately send electricity to the front command, the little devil is very likely to use gas bombs!' Damn, these little devils really dare to use poison gas bombs, aren't they afraid of condemnation from the international community? ’

'If condemnation is useful, will the little devils still invade us?' Don't talk nonsense, send the news back immediately. I believe that after the commander learns this news, there should be a new move! ’

When the information was quickly transmitted back to the front-line command, the defenders of the defensive positions who received the telegram quickly made corresponding preparations. As for He Zhengdao, who received the information, he felt that there was nothing unusual about it.

'Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the Third Column Command, and ask them to immediately dispatch doctors from the rear hospitals to prepare for emergency rescue. Although our troops have been issued with gas masks, there will certainly be soldiers who will be poisoned by then.

At the same time, let our war correspondents, as soon as possible, send the news to the rear in the form of photos. We will strive to send these materials to the consulates of various countries in Peiping in the shortest possible time, and make the news public immediately.

Also, be prepared to write a telegram. If the little devil really uses special ammunition, it will be directly stated to the Japanese army in the telegram. In the next battle against the enemy, our side does not rule out the possibility of using special ammunition as well.

Even, in order to deter the Japanese army's crazy behavior, our army did not rule out launching the captured special bombs into places where Japanese soldiers and overseas Chinese lived. From now on, it will be forwarded in a clear and power-on manner. ’

'Commander, isn't that right?' ’

It is very clear that the use of gas bombs is also prohibited by various countries. It's just that when the war started, most of the participating countries did not take this ban seriously. As long as victory can be achieved, the means will be exhausted.

But if the Eighth Route Army really wants to use this method to retaliate, I am afraid that it will also cause even worse consequences. But in He Zhengdao's view, he had to do this, and he had to let the Japanese army know the serious consequences of using special ammunition.

Facing Ye Jianying's worries, He Zhengdao also said solemnly: "Chief of Staff, I know that it is very inferior to use this method. But this is war, and it is the little devil who first used this weapon, so we must retaliate.

Maybe when the troops are attacking, we won't use this kind of special ammunition. But we have a saber and a special division, and we only need to send a small detachment to carry a few poison gas bombs, and then the Japanese army will know the consequences of using such shells easily.

The effect of this electrification is not to say that we should abuse poison gas bombs, but to let the Japanese army know. And it's not just that they have it, we actually have it. Their troops have gas masks, and it is impossible for the diaspora in the rear to have them, right? ”

In He Zhengdao's view, everyone in the future knows that the nuclear bomb is a good thing, but they all know that it cannot be used lightly. In war, nuclear bombs are also a deterrent weapon that cannot be easily used.

At present, nuclear bombs have not yet been developed by various countries, and poison gas bombs are, in a sense, a weapon of strategic deterrence. If they do not give a resolute counterattack, I am afraid that the Japanese army will often use poison gas bombs for defense and attack in the future.

After listening to He Zhengdao's explanation, Ye Jianying didn't say anything in the end. After sending a request to Yan'an for instructions on the content of the telegram prepared by He Zhengdao, he soon received a telegram from the third vertical.

'Commander, the little devil really used a poison gas bomb! ’

'What do they say?' ’

'I haven't received a call back from Yan'an! ’

In fact, after receiving a telegram from He Zhengdao, the deputy head of state immediately summoned Major General Sam and his party, who were staying in Yan'an. Upon learning that the Kwantung Army had used poison gas bombs on the Jinzhou front, Major General Sam naturally expressed great indignation.

But the problem is that Major General Sam also said that for a Japanese bowl that has gone into a state of war madness, they are not afraid of such international condemnation at all. But this news will still be transmitted back to China as soon as possible.

At least with this incident as an excuse, the plan to sanction the Japanese bowl that the United States is currently discussing can also be smoothly promoted. After all, he believes that many American civilians should be disgusted with such a murderous country.

While discussing countermeasures in Yan'an, the Japanese troops who had made a comeback once again began to attack the positions of the Eighth Route Army with gas masks. And they didn't know that the Eighth Route Army on the position also waited for a long time.

According to the operational instructions given by the Third Column to the front-line troops, this time they will be caught off guard by the little devils. Even the commander of the Third Column directly said that a defensive counterattack could be carried out moderately.

Artillery units, arranged in the rear, this time also participated in the counteroffensive. The Third Column wanted to use tonight's artillery bombardment to tell the Kwantung Army, which was still relying on the Jinzhou front, that their methods would not work at all, and would only provoke the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, He Zhengdao also sent a telegram to the column directly under him, telling them to be ready to attack at any time. Once the third column launched a counterattack, the directly subordinate column immediately launched an offensive against Fuxin and formed a threatening momentum against Fengtian!
