And just when the company commander didn't know what was going on, the second "dud" was fired at his position again. Again, billowing smoke began to rise. After several shells, in less than a minute, the positions of more than 100 people of the entire infantry company were completely covered with these yellow smokes. And at this moment, the shooting of the soldiers could no longer be heard from the position, but the sound of coughing and screaming.

"It's not good, it's gas bomb comrades, quick, cover your nose with a wet towel, quick. Correspondent, immediately report to the regiment commander that our unit was attacked by the enemy's poison gas bombs, hurry up and report it" Seeing the situation on his position, the company commander's face could not help but turn pale and exclaimed loudly.

With the departure of the correspondent. The company commander hurriedly wet the towel he was carrying with the water in the kettle and put it on his nose. At the same time, they began to shuttle back and forth on their positions, guiding the fighters in anti-poisoning. However, at this time, the situation on the entire position was no longer under the control of the company commander alone. On the more than 100-meter-long position, most of the fighters lost consciousness due to inhaling poisonous gas for too long and fell limply on the position. In the end, under the constant guidance of the company commander, less than a third of the fighters, fortunately covered their noses with towels, and there was no danger to their lives for the time being, and continued to shoot the little devils in the encirclement.

However, covering your nose with a wet towel will only last a few minutes. A few minutes later, as the poison gas became denser and denser, the poison gas slowly penetrated the wet towel and was inhaled into the body by the soldiers, and the same thing happened not only in this position. At the same time, at least half of the positions of the troops of more than two battalions in the entire ambush circle were enveloped in yellow poison gas. More importantly, the gas is still spreading.

"Commander, commander, something happened. The little devil is really not as good as a beast, and he actually uses poison gas. The fighters have suffered heavy casualties, have lost their ability to fight, and can no longer fight." See your own fighters, in poison gas. Just now, they were still alive, but at this time, they fell softly on the ground one by one. The first battalion commander couldn't hold back any longer, and suggested loudly to the regiment commander who was silent beside him.

"Resolutely not retreat, don't forget, it's right behind us, but there are still thousands of civilians who have not been transferred. Today, we have all fought out the three regiments of our reading force, and we can't retreat. Ordered the artillery battery to bombard the enemy's artillery positions, weren't they going to use poison gas against us? Then detonate his poison gas and let them taste it themselves. Correspondent, immediately inform the political commissar and pull me up the third battalion of the reserve. Also, order the soldiers who can move on the position, give me the bayonets, polish the bayonets, prepare to charge, prepare for white-knuckle battles, and avenge the sacrifices of their comrades. Looking at the position that had been shrouded in poison gas, the regiment commander Zhong Wei clenched his fists tightly, and roared loudly at the communicators and the battalion commander around him with red eyes.

"Yes, regiment commander, for the sake of the villagers, I will not retreat" After listening to the words of the regiment commander Zhong Wei, the first battalion commander did not hesitate and replied loudly. At the same time, grab your own towel and cover your nose. He pulled out his shell gun and rushed into the position, which was already completely covered in poison gas.

Looking at the battalion commander who rushed into the smoke of the poisonous gas, Zhong Wei did not have any obstruction. Although he knew that his confidant, after rushing in, it was very likely that he would not return. And just when the regiment commander Zhong Wei was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the third battalion of the reserve, the little devils also began to act, in addition to the two infantry guns, which constantly fired poison gas bombs one after another at the surrounding Eighth Route Army positions, about two squads of little devils brazenly rushed out of their defensive positions and launched a counter-charge against the positions of the Eighth Route Army that were the first to be attacked by poison gas bombs.

Under the command of two ensign squad leaders holding command knives, forty or fifty little devils, holding snow-bright bayonets, brazenly launched a charge against the two positions that had been completely shrouded in poison gas. Maybe it was because the little devils believed in their own poisonous gas too much, and the little devils of the two squads, with almost no concealment, rushed towards the two positions with their bodies.

However, it really made the little devil right. After more than 10 minutes of poisonous gas attack, the two companies guarding the position, from the company commander to the ordinary soldiers, except for a few physically strong soldiers, almost all of the rest lay limply on the position and lost consciousness. And how much damage can the few remaining conscious fighters on the battlefield do to the little devils of this small team? After a sparse burst of gunfire, the few remaining fighters in the entire position fell under the enemy's guns.

And dozens of little devils in gas masks, after destroying the only enemy in the position. As if they were in a no-man's land, they paid the casualties of four or five soldiers, rushed into the position and began their frantic slaughter. A bright bayonet, in the hands of a hideous-looking little devil, stabbed into the chests of the soldiers who were lying on the ground and no longer conscious. In less than two minutes, nearly 200 soldiers on the entire position were slaughtered by these more than 40 little devils, leaving not a single living mouth.

"Comrades, kill, avenge the sacrificed soldiers" And just when these little devils were excited about the fighters they had just obtained, and were ready to take advantage of the situation and continue to expand the results on both flanks of the Eighth Route Army's position. An earth-shattering shout of killing suddenly reached the ears of these little devils.

It turned out that just after a squad of little devils rushed into the position of their own battalion. The commander of the first battalion, who had just returned to his position, immediately guessed what might happen on the position. Thinking of the soldiers who had no ability to fight back, they were brutally slaughtered by the little devils. The commander of the first battalion was annoyed, and immediately took more than 100 people who could still move on the position of his first battalion, together with the guard platoon as a reserve, to launch a counter-charge against dozens of little devils. However, when he saw these soldiers only covering their noses with towels, a trace of excitement immediately appeared on his face.

Because he knew that in the midst of this poisonous gas, the wet towel would only last a few minutes. And after a few minutes, these soldiers will slowly lose their combat effectiveness like the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who have just been killed by themselves, and become lambs to be slaughtered under the bayonets of the imperial army of the Great Empire.

Thinking of this, the squad leader's heart was excited, and he shouted an order to the dozens of soldiers around him: "Yo Xi, the warriors of the empire, these soldiers are here to send them to death." In order to establish greater merits, kill them all with me, kill all the people of China, and kill them."

"Kill and give" Immediately, dozens of little devils who got the order showed excited looks on their faces. Immediately, a three-person combat team formed an assassination formation and launched a counter-charge against the oncoming commander of a battalion. In an instant, the sound of metal colliding sounded, and the two sides collided together. In the first collision, the warriors relied on their outnumbered numbers and stabbed down more than a dozen imps who rushed to the front at once. However, the first battalion also paid a heavy price, more than twenty fighters, fell under the bayonets of these little devils.

"Comrades, kill, avenge the comrades-in-arms who have just died" I saw the more than 20 soldiers who had just died, and on the battlefield, the soldiers who were stabbed to death by the little devils were neatly arranged. The commander of the first battalion couldn't help but be furious, and shouted loudly at the soldiers behind him. At the same time, he picked up the bayonet on his back and rushed into the bayonet formation of the little devil.

"Kill" shouted and killed, as long as it was the little devil encountered by the battalion commander, they were cut to the ground by the big knife in his hand. In less than half a minute, the first battalion commander rushed out of the little devil's bayonet formation covered in blood. Behind him, four headless corpses fell horizontally and vertically.

Maybe these little devils discovered the difference between the battalion commander and saw that four imperial soldiers in a row had fallen into the hands of this Eighth Route Army officer. Immediately, there were three little devils who rushed out of the assassination formation. The three bright bayonets were all aimed at the battalion commander who was standing in the middle, panting.

"Kill and give" Just when the commander of the first battalion was panting, a little devil saw that he had an opportunity, and immediately roared, holding the bayonet in his hand, and stabbed the first battalion commander in the chest.

"Damn, the little devil wants to sneak attack, your uncle and I are not so easy to bully, kill" I felt a trace of murderous aura suddenly appeared behind me. The battalion commander, who had a keen intuition, subconsciously twisted his body and dodged a dash from the little devil. When he saw the little devil who was stabbing at him, he couldn't help but scold. With all his strength, he lifted the big knife stuck in the ground and slashed at the little devil's neck.

"Baga" flashed with a knife light, and the big knife quickly flew in front of the little devil. Unsurprisingly, a round head, with the kinetic energy of the big knife, flew out several meters away before landing on the ground. However, at this time, due to the excessive inhalation of poisonous gas by the commander of the first battalion, coupled with the fact that he had exhausted all his strength. In the face of the bayonets of the remaining two little devils, there is really nothing to be done.

"Kill to give" A little devil's shout of killing sounded, and two bright bayonets, without accident, all stabbed into the stomach of the first battalion commander. Looking at the blood hole in his chest, which was bubbling out, the eyes of the first battalion commander showed a complicated look, some unwilling, some relieved

"Comrades, I'm here to accompany you," the battalion commander shouted at the corpses of the soldiers in front of him. At the same time, a grenade that had already been inserted in his waist was revealed, and without any hesitation, the grenade on his waist was sounded.

Seeing a grenade emitting white smoke from the waist of the battalion commander, the two little devils showed a look of fear. Immediately, he wanted to pull out the bayonet inserted in the body of the first battalion commander, and at this moment, the first battalion commander did not know where the strength came from. looked at the two panicked little devils in front of him, and the corners of his mouth actually emitted a sneer. At the same time, the two hands were raised at once, and the muzzles of the two rifles were tightly pinched, no matter how hard the two little devils tried, they just didn't let go.

"Baga, lie down and boom" A huge explosion sounded on the battlefield. The battalion commander who was still standing between the two little devils just now, at this moment, his body was blown into several sections. The severed limbs and arms that were shattered by the grenade flew everywhere like rain. And the two little devils standing next to the battalion commander also did not dodge the explosion of the grenade, and they all fell on the side of the battalion commander covered in blood.

"Comrades battalion commanders, avenge the battalion commander" saw that his battalion commander and the little devil died together, and not even a complete corpse was left. The dozens of remaining fighters on the position shouted loudly, and they didn't care anymore, and in the same way, they hugged the little devil in front of them and pulled the grenade on their bodies.

"Boom, boom, boom" After a grenade explosion, the whole position was completely silent. As the smoke cleared, there was no longer a single person standing on the entire battlefield, whether it was a little devil or a soldier.

"Little devil, your ancestors, return my battalion" After hearing a violent explosion, no sound was heard in the entire battalion position. At the same time, none of the forty or fifty little devils who rushed into the position withdrew. A bad premonition came to his heart. The head of the regiment, Zhong Wei, slammed his fist on the trench in front of him, and said with a murderous face.

"Report to the regiment commander, the third battalion of the reserve was ordered to come to report and ask the regiment commander to issue a combat mission." Just as the regimental commander was immersed in grief, a roar interrupted him. I saw that the commander of the third battalion had already brought the whole battalion to his face.

"Well, comrades came at a good time. I think you've seen what the first and second battalions have just encountered. The little devil is simply inferior to a brute, and he actually used a poison gas bomb. Comrades, now I order you, the whole regiment starts with me, and all the rest immediately charge the little devils in the encirclement. Destroy them with the bayonets in our hands and avenge the fallen warriors. Trumpeter, blow the trumpet, comrades, kill with me" saw the 500 soldiers in front of him. The regiment commander Zhong Wei didn't do much combat mobilization, and shouted loudly at the soldiers in front of him. At the same time, pulling out his own pistol, the first to rush out of the temporary command headquarters.

"Comrades, avenge the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, kill" More than 500 soldiers, under the personal leadership of the regiment commander Zhong Wei, did not hesitate, quickly rushed out of the command headquarters and launched a charge against the little devil a few hundred meters away.

"Your Excellency Captain, our infantry artillery squad has been destroyed by the Chinese artillery, and the remaining shells have also been detonated, Your Excellency the Captain, retreat immediately, if you don't leave, the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army will come" Seeing the messy artillery position behind him. Squadron Leader Hase, who had already put on a gas mask, came to the captain's side and reminded loudly.

"Baga, the two sortie squads of the first squadron have not returned yet, how can we leave our own soldiers behind? Order everyone to wear gas masks, and as long as the Eighth Route Army arrives, let them taste the power of our samurai of the Imperial Army. Seeing that the flanks of his position were still quiet, and he couldn't see a single Imperial soldier rushing out, the team leader glared at the squadron leader Nagatani in front of him dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, please think twice about the explosion just now, the two squads of the first squadron must have fallen for the annihilation of the Eighth Route Army and sacrificed their lives for the emperor. Your Excellency, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have charged us, and their strength is more than three times ours. Captain, look at it" And at this moment, the three battalions personally led by the regiment commander Zhong Wei had already appeared in the field of vision of the little devil.

"Nani, didn't our gas bombs work, why are there so many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who have not lost their combat effectiveness?" Seeing the hundreds of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushing towards him, the captain asked suspiciously.

"Baga, it must be reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army coming. Quick, prepare to retreat immediately, quickly organize the soldiers to retreat quickly" listened to the sound of the charge getting louder and louder. The team leader reacted suddenly, and ordered loudly to Squadron Leader Hase, who was still about to continue to admonish.

"Hai, Your Excellency, Captain. Please retreat immediately, I will bring a team to cover, and I will definitely cover the safe withdrawal of His Excellency the Captain. Hearing that the captain in front of him finally agreed to his request to retreat, Captain Hagatani couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and replied loudly.

"Yo Xi, Hase-kun, I'll leave you here quickly, leave the fourth squad, and the rest of the people will retreat immediately, retreat quickly" For the request of the captain of the Hasei squadron in front of him, the captain nodded with satisfaction. Under the protection of the personal guards, he quickly retreated to the rear with the remaining more than 100 soldiers, leaving only a crippled squad of less than 50 people to the captain of the Hase squadron.

"Comrades, kill" And at this moment, the three battalions led by Zhong Wei himself had already rushed to a distance of less than 100 meters from the encirclement of the army. Through the pale yellow poisonous gas on the entire position, Squadron Leader Hagatani could already clearly see the anger and murderous aura on the faces of every soldier opposite him.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army has come here. Quick, shoot immediately, shoot quickly, be sure to block their charge" Under the command of Squadron Leader Hase, a squad had only three light machine guns. Under the influence of the little devil soldiers in gas masks, they began to shoot intermittent bullets at the soldiers of the three battalions who rushed towards them.
