However, the soldiers at this time had already accumulated a lot of anger when they saw their comrades-in-arms who were brutally killed by the little devils on the battlefield. And now, I finally see these little devils who are not even as good as beasts, where are they willing to let go of such a good opportunity for revenge. As for the sparse bullets in front of them, how can they stop the momentum of everyone's charge? The soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers behind did not hesitate and immediately filled the vacant seats and continued to charge. In a word, in the rain of bullets of the little devil, the momentum of the entire charge, without any stopping, is constantly advancing.

Finally, under the successive charges of the soldiers, the distance between the two armies soon changed from 100 meters to more than 20 meters. Seeing dozens of little devils just a stone's throw away, Zhong Wei, who was at the forefront, knew that the big army of little devils must have retreated. And if you want to catch the murderers who killed your own soldiers, you must break through the blocking position of dozens of little devils in front of you in the shortest possible time.

"Comrades, the grenade devil has escaped, destroy the remnants of the enemy in front of us, chase me, don't let anyone go," the regiment commander Zhong Dawei shouted. He raised the shell gun in his hand and pulled the trigger at a few little devils who were about to shoot twenty meters away. A shuttle of twenty bullets was fired. The four little devils, without exception, were all shot several times and fell in a pool of blood.

And the soldiers behind Zhong Wei, after hearing the regiment commander's order, took out the grenades or grenades on their waists one after another, and threw them at the little devil position in front of them one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom" accompanied by more than 100 grenades, which exploded continuously on the position temporarily constructed by the army with the corpses of soldiers. The blocking position of only forty or fifty little devils was blown to pieces by the grenades of the fighters at this moment. After giving the little devils on the position who were not killed by the bombing, one person made up a bayonet. The companies once again joined the pursuit, and began to desperately pursue the more than 100 remnants led by the captain of the army a few hundred meters in front of them.

However, due to the physical exertion of the fighters, plus a certain amount of poison gas was inhaled. In the end, the distance between the two armies was getting bigger and bigger. But in any case, hundreds of fighters, with all their might, still caught up with dozens of wounded little devils. As for the captain of the team led by the army, he took the remnants of the last less than two squads and retreated to Jinzhong County in embarrassment.

As time passed, the poison gas on the entire battlefield began to slowly subside. After an hour of fighting, it was finally fully displayed in front of everyone. At this time, the entire battlefield was quiet except for quiet, because, on the entire battlefield, except for the corpses, there were hardly any living soldiers to be seen. After nearly half an hour of baptism of poison gas, the entire battlefield was like a hell, and the corpses of soldiers with purple faces due to poisoning were everywhere.

With the arrival of the militia organized by the political commissar, the battle slowly entered the final stage. Faced with nearly a thousand corpses on the entire battlefield, whether it was soldiers or hundreds of militiamen. With tears in their eyes, they brought out the corpses of the warriors. And with the strength of nearly 1,000 bodies in the entire battlefield, hundreds of people carried it for several hours before the entire battlefield was cleaned up. A few hours later, the results of the entire battle were slowly handed over to the regiment commander Zhong Wei, who also had a purple face.

"Report to the head of the regiment, the results and losses have been counted." Seeing the loss data on the list in his hand, the third battalion commander almost didn't believe his eyes, lowered his head and came to Zhong Wei, and said in a low voice.

"Say a word to me and the political commissar," Zhong Wei nodded and said.

"Yes, Commander. According to statistics, only 86 soldiers survived in the first battalion, and all commanders above the company level were killed. 114 people survived in the second battalion, and in addition to the battalion commander, all commanders above the company level also died. The third battalion lost 63 people and 12 were seriously wounded, only 21 people survived the heavy machine gun company, and both the company commander and the instructor died. The regiment suffered a total of 1,046 casualties and 24 were seriously wounded.

"That's enough, don't read it any more. Political commissar, you should immediately report the results of the battle and the entire battle to the divisional commander, and you must truthfully report the enemy's use of poison gas bombs. I would like to send off these sacrificed soldiers, they are all the heroes of our Reading Force 3rd Regiment. Zhong Wei interrupted the third battalion commander who wanted to continue, and instructed the political commissar who was also silent beside him.

"Okay, old Zhong, then I'll report it, but you must pay attention to your body. Guards, take care of the regimental commander, if the regimental commander has nothing but business, you will not come back. The political commissar took the list from the hands of the third battalion commander and ordered loudly to the guards behind him.

"Yes, Commissar"

Less than two hours after the end of the entire battle, he was far away in the headquarters of the Reading Division in Zhangjiazhuang. Liu Hua, political commissar Luo Ronghuan, and chief of staff Li Qing sat in the conference room without saying a word. At the same time, the eyes of all three men were fixed on a telegram on the table in front of them. And this telegram is the telegram of Sun Xingbang of the 1st Division. After reading the above data on the casualties of the soldiers using poison gas bombs. Not only the political commissar, but even Liu Hua, who was mentally prepared, was shocked by the casualty data in front of him.

"Everybody talks, what should we do? This is the life of more than a thousand soldiers, more than a thousand soldiers, just like this, died in the hands of the little devil gas bomb. Anyway, this thing can't be over like this. Liu Hua broke the silence in the conference room and said to the two people in front of him.

"Division commander, I think it is imperative that the soldiers know how to survive the enemy's gas bombs. During this time, due to the continuous expansion of the troops, coupled with our negligence. With regard to anti-drug training, the commanders of the various units basically ignored it. In my opinion, the most urgent task now is to let all the soldiers in the division know how to protect themselves against the enemy's use of poison gas in the shortest possible time. Chief of Staff Li Qing replied first.

"Yes, I also agree with the chief of staff's suggestion to let the soldiers know how to better protect themselves in a poisonous gas environment. I think that if the soldiers had covered their noses with wet towels when they knew that they had been exposed to poison gas in this battle, perhaps there would not have been such a large number of casualties. Political Commissar Luo Ronghua nodded and said.

"Okay, then let's settle this matter first. In addition to teaching the soldiers how to fight in a poison gas environment, it is also necessary to equip the soldiers with certain anti-poison equipment. Chief of Staff, in the past two years, among all the equipment we have seized, there is no such thing as a gas mask. Liu Hua nodded and continued to ask.

"Commander, it's hard for you to be sorry for me. All I know is that we have captured this equipment, even gas bombs. As for the specific amount of this equipment, I don't know, we can only ask our logistics steward, Director Wang, who knows the logistics materials of our reading division best. The chief of staff nodded and said.

"Okay, guard, immediately notify Director Wang of the Logistics Department to come to the conference room, quickly." After listening to the chief of staff's answer, Liu Hua didn't say a word, and ordered loudly to the guards on duty at the door.

Soon, Director Wang Daoguang came to the conference room with a red face: "Report, Wang Daoguang of the Logistics Department was ordered to come and report." ”

"Director Wang, you're here so soon. Come in and sit down, the political commissar and the chief of staff and I are in such a hurry to come over, there is a situation that needs to be learned from you. You are the logistics butler of our reading division, and I would like to ask how many captured gas masks of the Japanese army are in your logistics warehouse. Plus, how many gas bombs. When Wang Daoguang sat in front of everyone, Liu Hua didn't have any politeness and asked straight to the point.

"Report to the division commander, political commissar. Gas masks, our ammunition depot in Baoding County, the ammunition depot in Taiyuan City, and the baggage troops of the Fifth Division have been captured, and the number is still very large, about 18,000 sets, all of which are now stored in the logistics warehouse. As for the gas bombs, we also seized quite a few, but because they were so cruel, I was afraid that something would happen if they were put in the warehouse, so I put them all in a cave in the back mountain. And for the sake of safety, the cave was blown up and buried in the cave. And the specific location, only a few comrades in our logistics department know, as for the number, I probably remember a little, there were more than 1,200 rounds before and after," Director Wang said the data he knew.

"Okay, great, with this batch of equipment, we're much better. Director Wang, I will now give you an order, you must take out 12,000 sets of gas masks in the shortest possible time, and send 4,000 sets to each of the three military subdivisions. At the same time, the remaining 6,000 sets were all sent to the subordinate columns, and the main equipment was given to light and heavy machine gunners and a small number of non-sought-after. The sooner the better, how's that, is there any problem. Liu Hua ordered happily.

"Report to the division commander, now my logistics department has a car battalion of dozens of cars, and there is absolutely no problem in transportation, please rest assured that the division commander and political commissar will ensure that our logistics department will complete this task." Director Wang Daoguang agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, there's another problem, that is, dig out the gas bombs hidden in the back mountain for me, I'll be useful. However, this matter must be kept secret, and when the time comes, I will ask the first regiment of the guard brigade to come and assist you. How, are there any difficulties? Liu Hua then ordered.

"Commander, are they all dug up? This is 1,200 rounds of gas bombs" After listening to Liu Hua's order, Wang Daoguang asked suspiciously. Even the political commissar and chief of staff around him looked at Liu Hua in front of him in confusion.

"Well, let me think. Dig out two hundred rounds, since the little devil is unkind, then don't blame me Liu Hua for being unjust. Liu Hua ordered decisively.

"Division commander, with the cooperation of the guard regiment, you can relax, I promise to complete the task." Wang Daoguang replied loudly.

"Division commander, what do you want to do with so many poison gas bombs, you can't make mistakes, this gas bombs, our Eighth Route Army resolutely can't use them!" Seeing Director Wang Daoguang leave the conference room, political commissar Luo Ronghuan hurriedly reminded.

"Hehe, political commissar, you are too careful, I didn't say that I wanted to use these gas bombs. Besides, the little devils are brutes, that's why they use these weapons. Our Eighth Route Army is a benevolent and righteous army, how can we use such a cruel and harmful weapon? Seeing the anxious political commissar, Liu Hua explained with a smile.

"But, Commander, if you don't use these gas bombs, you ask Director Wang to take out 200 for no reason. That's 200 gas bombs, how many people can be killed! The commissar asked, still puzzled.

"Political commissar, the reason why the little devil dares to use these gas bombs is very simple, that is, he knows that our Eighth Route Army is poor and has no gas masks. At the same time, bullying our Eighth Route Army did not know how to conduct chemical warfare, and bullied us that the Eighth Route Army did not have poison gas bombs in its hands. And I, today, I want to let these little devils know that not only his little devils have poisonous gas bombs in their hands, but we also have poisonous gas bombs in the hands of our readers. If you dare to put gas bombs into use next time, then don't blame our reading master for being unkind and throwing two in his barracks. Liu Hua explained without any tone.

"Okay, Commander, that's a really good idea. Use the gas bombs in our hands to deter the little devils. Let the little devils not be so arrogant and use poison gas bombs as a harmful weapon casually. After listening to Liu Hua's explanation, the political commissar slapped the table in front of him and replied excitedly.

"Yes, what the political commissar said is very correct, my purpose is to use these gas bombs to deter the little devils in front of us. Let them stop being so arrogant." Liu Hua nodded affirmatively.

"Commander, what are you going to do with these 200 gas bombs. You know, this gas bomb is not a good thing, as long as there is an accident, it will kill people" Chief of Staff Li Qing nodded and asked the most important question.

"Well, political commissar, chief of staff, I think so, give all these 200 rounds of poison gas bombs to the hands of the special operations team. Let the special operations team find a way to send all these poison gas bombs to the commanders of the little devils around us. Whether it is a military stronghold or a county seat. In short, as long as there is more than one squadron of little devils garrisoned, it must be sent. Let the little devils in the whole North China know that our readers also have poison gas bombs in their hands. Liu Hua ordered.

"Well, this kind of thing can only be done by the special operations team. Commander, leave this matter to me. Chief of Staff Li Qing nodded and said.

"I also agree with the division commander and leave this matter to the special operations brigade to complete." The political commissar also nodded in agreement.

"Good! Then let's settle this matter. This matter will be left to the chief of staff to complete, and these gas bombs must be handed over to the little devil commander in the shortest possible time. Liu Hua ordered affirmatively.

Seeing that the political commissar and the chief of staff agreed to his decision, Liu Hua took a sip of water and continued: "Political commissar, chief of staff, such a tragedy happened in our first division today. If my estimation is correct, the little devils will definitely make a move before our gas bombs are delivered to the little devil commander, so we readers can't sit idly by, it's time to make a move. ”

"By the way, Commander, if you don't say it, I almost forgot. Our Strength Reader has been repairing for more than a month since the last war. Except for a friction in the middle, almost nothing has been experienced, and it is time for the fighters to go out and practice. I guess if we don't go out again, the little devil will think that we are easy to bully. The chief of staff was the first to stand up excitedly.

"Commander, what are you going to do?" The commissar did not show the same excitement as the chief of staff, but asked with a calm face.

"Commissar, that's right. I'm going to give the little devils a movement to keep them busy. Let's see if they have time to march to our base. Seeing the political commissar's puzzled eyes, Liu Hua did not hesitate and replied affirmatively.

"Movement to control stillness?" After listening to Liu Hua's answer, the two asked rhetorically almost in unison.

"Yes, it's to control stillness with movement. I think that in the past month, there is an important reason why the little devils have not sent troops to retaliate against our readers, that is, the little devils' troops are tight, and there are no extra troops to retaliate against us. In order to get sufficient troops, the North China Army must be increased from the country or the northeast, which will take a long time, and our reading division is different. The large number of militia organizations and garrison units in the base areas can be said to have provided us with sufficient troops. So, in the past month, the number of our teachers has not only not decreased, but has also increased several times. More importantly, thanks to the replenishment of a large amount of equipment and ammunition, the combat effectiveness of the troops has not decreased at all. Therefore, I am incomparable to the army in this aspect. Liu Hua analyzed.

"The division commander's analysis is very correct, and I think so too. But, Commander, does this have anything to do with your use of movement to control stillness? The commissar nodded, still puzzled.

"Of course there is a connection? Isn't the strength of the little devils insufficient now, and the combat effectiveness of our troops has not declined in any way, so why don't we give each unit a live-fire exercise? It not only tempered the actual combat ability of the fighters but also enhanced the combat effectiveness of the entire unit. At the same time, you can also put a few more handfuls of salt on the little devil's wound," Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Division commander, do you mean to let the troops attack, constantly fight the little devils, and make the little devils' troops even more lacking, in this case, they will have no troops to send, and our base will be safe" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan was the first to react, and asked with excitement on his face.
