Chapter 234: The Battle of Nanjing: The Habitat of Xiashan to Defend the Enemy (Part II)
"The little one that the dog said was releasing poison gas again!" At this moment, almost every living Chinese soldier on the battlefield has a gas mask, and most of the gas masks worn by the officers and men of the garrison teaching corps are the 92-type self-priming canister gas masks that they are equipped with.
Jiro Yukimura, who lives in a small village called Uto in the countryside of Sendai, as an unlucky private, embodies all the advantages of the Yamato nation including lap legs, small and short, and big heads, and he always has to rush in front of veterans, captains, military Cao, and Cao Chang when fighting, and the vision of the 92-type gas mask is very unclear, which has a great relationship with his own concept of production, and under the premise that his vision is limited, it is quite wasteful to breathe things, There were once recruits who fell asleep while wearing gas masks and lost their lives, and the most frustrating thing was that they couldn't aim at all while wearing this thing.
Yukimura Jiro didn't know, and he didn't know, whether the bastards who studied gas masks had brought this thing to shoot, even if they brought this thing to fight bayonets, it was very inconvenient, in addition to being able to kill people by various accidents, Yukimura Jiro really didn't find any special advantages of the 92-style gas mask.
With the attacking brigade, Yukimura Jiro found that his companions fell to the ground from time to time, convulsions and rolled in pain, and the 7.92 mm Mauser bullet used in the middle [***] was extremely lethal compared to the 6.5 mm Tomosaka ammunition used by the empire, especially after the bullet entered the human body, it would roll violently, causing compound wounds that could heal and expand the damage to internal organs.
When Yukimura Jiro and several people hid under a ridge and tried to shoot, he suddenly realized that he was lying on the corpse of his own person, and Yukimura Jiro straightened his gas mask and looked left and right before he was surprised to find that there were seven or eight corpses of different shapes around him.
And it seems that every corpse was shot in the head or chest, apparently these guys were lying here trying to shoot before they were shot?
Without waiting for Yukimura Jiro to think about it, several soldiers from other squadrons also lay down near Yukimura Jiro, pulling the bolt and firing, with a dense exchange of fire, several soldiers were also shot and died on the side, then Yukimura Jiro suddenly realized that it looked like a ridge here, but in fact, it was a visual illusion from another angle, which was caused by the tilted eye lenses of the gas mask.
The so-called ridge is actually an open land with a flat and slightly sloping slope, and the soldiers who are crawling there are themselves exposed, not to mention leaning in to aim and shoot? Naturally, he became the target of the Chinese soldiers, and Jiro Yukimura used several corpses on the side as a cover, and carefully crawled away from this place of death!
In order to pursue the accuracy of shooting, many Chinese soldiers even ignored the threat of poison gas and directly took off their crappy gas masks.
The Chinese soldiers who discarded their gas masks were foaming at the corners of their mouths and howled, staring at the red eyes and piercing the bayonets deep into the bodies of the soldiers.
The sharp German-made sapper shovels issued by the teaching corps also became a nightmare for the soldiers, and the edges of the M35 Wehrmacht steel helmets, stones, wooden sticks, grenades, teeth, fists, and everything that could be used by the Chinese soldiers were all used.
In the entanglement and struggle between the two sides, the first reaction of the Chinese soldiers was to lift the gas masks of the Yue army, because the Yue himself, who was extremely afraid of the poison gas itself and was afraid of death, would definitely fall into a panic immediately.
Yukimura Jiro trembled and trembled as the large army broke into the position of Zhong[***], there were guns flying everywhere, and the muffled explosions and flashes of grenades did not appear, even if you are experienced in a hundred battles, you may also be killed by a stray bullet, Yukimura Jiro was terrified to see a Chinese soldier without a gas mask whose body was crossed by two bayonets, still yelling and screaming after shooting and killing a military commander in an instant, With a bayonet, he flew up and smashed the head of another soldier with the butt of his gun, and the white brains splashed all over the ground, and the Chinese soldier whose intestines were bleeding all over the ground also died in battle.
The ground under his feet seemed to be soaked in blood, and it was soft, sticky and slippery when he stepped on, and there were unrecognizable corpses everywhere, especially some corpses with purple faces, white foam mixed with blood clots flowing from the corners of their mouths, bleeding from seven holes, scratching their throats with their own hands, and their distorted faces made Jiro Yukimura feel his crotch hot.
Jiro Yukimura, who was almost insane with fear, discarded the Type 38 rifle in his hand, turned around and ran away howling.
Jiro Yukimura's escape brought a very bad example, many soldiers who were already frightened in the poisonous gas began to stop and watch, some soldiers who were already cowering began to shoot blindly and indiscriminately forward, and quietly retreated, and the formation of the Yue army's attack was suddenly chaotic, and there was a fatal break between the Yue army troops and the follow-up troops who broke through the Chinese defenders' positions.
A lieutenant who was commanding a Type 92 heavy machine gun that was shooting at the entrance noticed this situation, and had no choice but to shout with a gas mask, and it was on the battlefield where the guns were rumbling, so after shouting in vain, the angry captain began to order the heavy machine gun shooters to shoot the deserters.
Naturally, the heavy machine gunners did not dare to fire at their own people at will, and in case Captain Noguchi was killed in the subsequent battle, this order would be a matter of death without proof, and the poison gas affected the line of sight of the shot, and if one of the commanders was accidentally injured, he would not be able to eat and walk away.
Captain Noguchi saw that the heavy machine gun shooter hesitated, so he scolded and kicked the heavy machine gun shooter, personally picked up the heavy machine gun and turned the muzzle at 90 degrees, and pulled the trigger violently in the direction of Yukimura Jiro and the others fled.
Because, all the twenty-five rounds of the entire platoon were shot by Captain Noguchi, and Jiro Yukimura and several soldiers who fled back in embarrassment beside him were unharmed, but the attacking troops of the Shigedo detachment were knocked down seven or eight people, and one of them actually seemed to be wearing brown calfskin boots.
The offensive of the 1st Infantry Wing of Taiwan under the Shigeto detachment suddenly stopped, and the red-eyed Captain Noguchi desperately urged the secondary shooter to shoot the bullet, insisting on putting several deserters such as Jiro Yukimura to death, what shocked Captain Noguchi was that Jiro Yukimura's deserters had changed from a few people to a dozen people, and in a blink of an eye, they became dozens of people, and the Shigedo detachment, which had just been attacked, seemed to have discovered the location of Captain Noguchi's heavy machine gun.
In the blink of an eye, a 60-millimeter mortar and several grenadiers were transported into place, and the other party ignored Captain Noguchi's waving and shouting, and before the poison gas almost dissipated, several shells were fired in succession at the location of the heavy machine gun commanded by Captain Noguchi.
One person retreats and can sweep away ten, ten people retreat can sweep away a hundred, and one hundred people can sweep away a regiment! Although the sentence is used on the middle [***] team more than himself, but the book is not cast in iron and copper, they will retreat when they encounter fierce firepower, and the attack will collapse the same.
A Type 92 heavy machine gun from the headquarters of the 13th Division fired at the attacking unit of the 1st Infantry Wing of the Taiwan Infantry Regiment under the Shigeto Detachment.
The effect of the poison gas bomb can only be maintained below the mountainside, and once it crosses the mountainside, it will be quickly blown away by the mountain wind, so the army can only occupy the two lines of defense between the foot of the mountain and the mountainside, but what makes the troops extremely entangled and depressed is that after three rounds of poison gas bomb attacks, all the special ammunition and 20 gas canisters allocated by the 13th Division were all used.
And the results of the battle were only maintained at the foot of the previous mountain, and after paying huge casualties, they could not occupy the already weak mountainside position of the enemy army? The soldiers of the continent felt incredible.
Once again, he received the urging and reprimand of Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, and the soldiers of Zhou Lifu were angry pacing back and forth in the division headquarters, and it was obvious that the middle [***] was known as the elite of the elite, but the [***] backbone of the teaching corps was very difficult to deal with, and it was obviously impossible to make a rapid breakthrough in a very short time.
Moreover, the misshooting incident seriously affected the tactical coordination between the 13th Division and the Shigeto detachment, and now the two armies are guarding against each other to prevent the other side from attacking from behind, and the battle has reached such a point that the most basic coordination cannot be achieved, let alone full cooperation.
As a result, the soldiers immediately decided to punish a group of officers with unfavorable command and cowardly soldiers who cowered in battle, and proposed to Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya to unify the command between the 13th Division and the Taiwan Shigeto detachment.
The Zhou soldiers believed that although the artillery fire of the Chinese [***] occupied a certain advantage, but after these three large-scale poison gas attacks, the casualties of the Chinese defenders teaching corps would not be too small. Thinking that this is the capital of China, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty suddenly developed an extremely vicious tactic.
