Chapter 160: The Battle That Shocked the World

The yellow smoke drifted along with the majestic wind throughout the predetermined area, because of the fear that the poison of the sarin gas bomb would drift to the area outside the predetermined area, when Group D fired the cannon, it would often mark the entire predetermined area on the map, draw a large source or square, and then start from the inside of the circle to draw an inner circle for a range of a few kilometers or so, and the area within this inner circle is the area they want to bomb, and the area outside the inner circle will not bomb in principle.

The purpose is to prevent damage from being too large due to uncertainties such as weather. Because there were hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city, and because of the fear that some of the poisoned Kwantung Army soldiers would be infected and flee back to the city, there were 20 105-mm howitzers and 155-mm heavy guns in that area.

The firing frequency of group D is not too high, in order to ensure absolute safety, each gun can only fire a maximum of two shells per minute, after each shot, the main and auxiliary gunners will do a small inspection of the artillery, after all, they are not playing with ordinary shells, and the most they will kill if they explode.

Fifteen minutes later, the artillery brigade of the 99th Army had already poured about a few thousand heavy shells into the opposite direction, and Group D, which had only five guns, also fired hundreds of sarin gases into the opposite direction, and these nearly 100 sarin gases were enough to wipe out all the Kwantung Army soldiers on the opposite side.

The commander-in-chief of Group D suddenly raised the black flag and the white flag in his hand, crossed his hands so that the flags were crossed, and signaled the five guns to start the final round of firing on a large part of the area of the shell bombing point. Gas warfare is no better than ordinary artillery warfare, they only need to figure out the coordinates, which one cannon hits a coordinate wrong or something will not be too big a problem, Group D has set some dead coordinates for each gun long before it starts shooting, and a cannon can only fire at these coordinates, and where the gap is relatively large, they also know it.

Therefore, after the commander-in-chief gave the order, the gunners of the five guns quickly adjusted the coordinates of the guns, and waited for the shells to arrive before proceeding to the next round of firing. The whole artillery battle lasted about 20 minutes, and after the artillery attack was over, more than 20 soldiers who were also wearing protective suits, each carrying a white iron bucket in their hands, quickly ran to the position of the five guns.

Then the eight soldiers of each cannon lined up in a row, stood there with their arms outstretched, and let the soldiers who came after them spray the somewhat muddy water on them, and after doing this, the soldiers disinfected every corner of the artillery, and even the base of the cannon was sprinkled with some disinfectant water with their sprinklers lying underneath.

Although these disinfectants do not have a good disinfection effect on sarin gas, it is better than nothing, and at this stage they do not have an antidote to these gas bombs, so they can only use the simplest way to prevent and control them.

Military Headquarters of the Ninety-ninth Army.

The officers got rid of the dullness just now and devoted themselves to their work, and now the most important task for them is to defeat the Kwantung Army as soon as possible and avenge the death of the 7,000 brothers who died under the poison gas.

"Military seat, Brigade Commander Tang sent a telegram that he had completed the covering bombardment of the enemy's Eighth Division and the Twelfth Division, and requested instructions on the next battle plan." The communications staff officer took the latest telegram that had just been translated from the translator's hand, and walked up to Su Dao to report.

"Tell Tang Pingyao to continue the bombing and don't let the Kwantung Army leave the bombing range." Su Dao calmly gave the order.

The news that the 99th Army has chemical weapons still needs to be kept secret for the time being, even for people within the 99th Army, chemical weapons are forbidden to be used in any country, although he loves to use chemical weapons, even if the whole world knows the fact that he loves chemical weapons, doesn't he still admit that they have used chemical weapons?

Moreover, Huaxia has been weak for many years, and if it is suddenly revealed that it has chemical troops, and in just half an hour, two divisions of the Kwantung Army and nearly 40,000 troops will be wiped out, and the result will be something that can be imagined with your toes. What did the Germans do to the Jews? Cruel enough, right? At the end of World War II, Germany's military strength was obviously unable to keep up with the needs of the battlefield, and every one of their soldiers fought for several years with gas masks on their backs, and chemical weapons troops carried poison gas bombs all over the battlefield every day.

Especially after the advent of sarin gas in the later period, the number of sarin gas bombs equipped by the German army was by no means a few, but they never used sarin gas bombs on the battlefield, and in the later stage of the war, some Nazi generals who were unwilling to defeat suggested that Hitler use chemical weapons, but a greater disaster was avoided under the efforts of those generals who still maintained their sanity.

And now Su Dao wants to continue to keep the D group secret is also very simple, he does not have enough strength to protect the D group, once the D group appears in the eyes of the world, then the status of China in the world will be greatly improved, and the final result will only make people feel that there is no need to support the war in China at all, because they have the ability to eliminate several of their own divisions in a short period of time, or even more. But in reality? The Huaxia army without the support of chemical weapons, let alone defeat them, it would be good to go up to a division of troops, and half of them would survive alive.

In other words, to put it more ugly, the speed at which he produces poison gas bombs is much faster than that of Su Dao, although Su Dao is exchanged, but after all, the number of troops is limited, and it is impossible for Su Dao to change the whole army into a chemical weapons force, and the poison gas will be released wherever he goes.

"Send a telegram to the Wuhan side and report to them the situation on our side, saying that we were besieged by six divisions of the Japanese Army in Jinxi, and after the bloody battles of the officers and men, more than 20,000 people of the Kwantung Army were killed, and the Kwantung Army, which was embarrassed and angry, fired hundreds of poison gas bombs at our unit at about 1:20 this afternoon, and our artillery then launched a counterattack on the Kwantung Army, and unfortunately hit the Kwantung Army's poison gas bomb storage point at about 2 o'clock this afternoon, causing a large-scale poison gas leak. The 12th Division will be completely annihilated, but our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and they will no longer have the strength to continue to launch a large-scale offensive against the Kwantung Army in a short time. After thinking about some things clearly, Su Dao immediately spoke to the communication staff officer who had been following him.

It's already November, and the sky in the Northeast is also gray, as if there is a sense of heavy snow coming, fortunately, Su Dao has exchanged winter military uniforms for the troops before, but think about the temperature of minus 120 degrees in the Northeast, and their soldiers are basically from the Central Plains or southerners, and there are rarely more than minus 10 degrees in the coldest winter in their hometown, I don't know if the soldiers can carry this winter.

After receiving the order, the communications staff officer directly turned around to supervise the sending of telegrams, although he had not received accurate news from the front line, but Su Dao's words were orders, Su Dao said that he had eliminated two divisions and regiments, that is, he had eliminated two divisions and regiments, and he did not have any doubts at all.

"Isn't that right? The Air Force has not yet sent back the news of the destruction of the two divisions of the Kwantung Army, so we have reported the results of the battle to the Wuhan side. Wu Zhongguo frowned and asked, he had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and he didn't know where this feeling came from, but he could feel a creepy feeling.

"The Air Force will have news soon, can you still hear the sound of my guns on this distant battlefield? Since I dare to release poison gas on a large scale, then there must be a lot of poison gas bombs in their artillery positions, and our artillery bombarded them with a surname, do you think they can escape? Su Dao pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said in a loud voice.

"Throne, this is not a joke, if there were enough gas bombs on my position to destroy their two divisions, we should have been able to detonate a few of them as early as our first round of artillery attacks, but at that time there was not one, but now it suddenly detonated, who would believe it? Tell me the truth, are we also poison gas troops? Tell me, what does group d mean? Wu Zhongguo asked in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.

It wasn't until now that Wu Zhongguo understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from, what he was most afraid of was that Su Dao was messing around, desperate to avenge the soldiers, and now seeing Su Dao's full self-confidence, Wu Zhongguo realized that what he was most worried about had happened, and what made him the most angry and the most incomprehensible was that Su Dao didn't notify him, the chief of staff, of the fact that the army had poisonous gas.

Although Su Dao did not answer Wu Zhongguo's question, his movements, his expression seemed to have answered his question to Wu Zhongguo, this time, Wu Zhongguo finally realized that he was a little powerless, everything was kept in the dark, everything had to wait until it happened, and he, the chief of staff, would not know that the earliest special forces were like this before, that is, they had passed a few of them to the current poison gas unit, which made Wu Zhongguo feel very tired.

"Old Wu, it's not me talking about you, you don't want to think about it, since I dare to use poison gas bombs so boldly, they must be ready to be wiped out, knowing that we have a heavy artillery brigade, they still dare to take such a risk, if you want to blame them, you can only blame them, okay, this matter will end here, get ready, and the two of us will go down to see the situation of the troops later." Su Dao waved his hand with a smile, not caring about Wu Zhongguo's words at all, Wu Zhongguo is a good person, but he is a little cautious in doing things, if he is a partner with Wu Zhongguo, he must find someone who is more courageous.

Wuhan, because Su Dao annihilated a division of the army in Lanfeng, which led to a sharp drop in the morale of the army, and the bursting of the embankment at the mouth of the garden brought a lot of trouble to the army, and successfully delayed them for a few months more than in history, and now it is November, at this time the army has just appeared around Wuhan, and at this time in history, the Wuhan political axe has almost announced the relocation of the capital to Yucheng.
