On the territory of the Northeast, somewhere a combat-ready warehouse.

The S39 combat readiness warehouse is not an ordinary warehouse, but a first-class combat readiness warehouse located deep in the mountains, under the belly of the mountain, where several kilometers have been zoned as a military exclusion zone.

Because the republic has always had a good habit of stockpiling materials, many important military materials are placed in combat readiness warehouses around the country, with special troops and units guarded, and the combat readiness warehouse itself has a very advanced password authorization system, since the southwest period these combat readiness warehouses have been unified by the Supreme Power Committee in charge, without the highest authority no one can open these core combat readiness warehouses, especially the numbered S level, if there is no supreme authorization, violent destruction will trigger a self-defense system, buried deep underground these combat readiness warehouses, Once someone tries to open it violently, it can attract garrisons thousands of miles away to open the mountain that has not yet been blown up.

This combat readiness warehouse is not the same as ordinary combat readiness warehouses in other places, it does not store ordinary combat materials such as tanks, guns and ammunition, but only one thing, poison gas bombs, which are guarded by a battalion of special troops. To the outside world, it is claimed to be a military camp, even if it is a mountain people more than ten kilometers away, for decades they only think that it is an ordinary garrison unit, who can guess that there are poison gas bombs stored below, although they are absolutely safe, even if they are leaked, there will be emergency measures that will not spread.

This area is mountainous, there are several combat warehouses, and there is also a field airfield with easy transportation.

Early in the morning, a team of slickers came to the S39 base with a special pass and authorization documents.

Colonel Li Zhongtian, the head of the S39 combat readiness warehouse, has been in this base for five full years, and according to the secrecy regulations, units of this level rarely change commanders, of course, these commanders generally face very strict surveillance, but in the past five years, Colonel Li Zhongtian has never seen anyone come to take away the gas bombs, but a steady stream of new gas bombs are being sent.

He looked forward to the use of such weapons by his country, and as a managerial and technical officer, he was very aware of how much damage such a weapon would inflict on the enemy on the battlefield. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a corpse strewn all over the field, he once experienced poison gas experiments, and several poison gas bombs stored here, any one of which is synonymous with death.

However, even when the war in the Far East was at its worst, he did not see the transport unit of Unit 201, a special poison gas unit to which he belonged, come to transport the poison gas bombs, but he heard that poison gas was used in both Ben and China on the battlefield in the Far East, and then the troops issued an order for the combat readiness warehouses to enter the first level of combat readiness, and he knew that the time to use these stockpiles of poison gas was approaching. Sure enough, in less than a month, the convoy came.

The 201 poison gas unit is very mysterious, there is no clear number externally, and there is only this number number internally. Many high-ranking officials of the republic were unaware that China also had a specialized gas warfare force, although they knew that China had powerful gas bombs.

He was very surprised that the person who came with the team to escort the poison gas was actually a major general, and according to the usual practice, the more senior the person in charge of the operation, the larger the scale of the operation, the more poison gas was used.

"Welcome General Ma!"

"Well, let me take a look at your warehouse maintenance for the last ten days." As soon as Major General Ma came up, he did business, and he did not procrastinate, and directly showed the action authorization letter, which indicated the type and quantity of poisonous gas, just by looking at it, Li Zhongtian trembled, and when he saw a few zeros behind that number, and the weight unit was tons, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that the scale of this operation was simply sky-high.

Soon, after checking the authorization letter and confirming by phone, Li Zhongcai handed over the warehouse maintenance to Major General Ma, and after checking that everything was correct, all the personnel put on anti-poison equipment, and under the joint vigilance of the 201 operation unit and the base guard force, the group came to the underground warehouse. The warehouses are partitioned, and except for the main gate of the underground warehouse, which is so thick that even a tank gun can't open it, each warehouse has a very thick metal door with an electronic lock on it. Next to the electronic lock, there is an electronic display screen of the air condition inside the warehouse, which can reflect the security status inside.

Major General Ma took out a special small instrument, approached the electronic lock, entered the authorization code, and then the two entered their fingerprints, and then opened one of the warehouses. It looks ordinary, but it is actually a high-tech instrument specially produced for special departments. Zhang Shusheng's habit is to produce some low-cost things, often exchanging a machine to make thousands of high-tech gadgets that cannot be made by current technology, which is completely enough for a small range and some use by the army.

After the warehouse door was opened, there were actually two sealed doors before entering the warehouse.

Looking at the rows of metal boxes marked with the death mark of the skull in front of him, Major General Ma took a deep breath, "No. 5 is 5 tons, No. 9 is 11 tons, and No. 11 is 24 tons......"

Li Zhongtian on the side was already nervous and excited, although he couldn't ask where the poisonous gas would be used, but his intuition told him that it must be the Far East army.

What Li Zhongtian did not expect was that it was far more than these 40 tons, and in the next month or so, Unit 201 actually emptied all the poison gas bombs in this poison gas storage warehouse, and directly removed more than 1,000 tons of poison gas bombs and sent them to the Far East.

…… While China was secretly transporting poison gas bombs to the front line, the Japanese army was also in full swing preparing to carry out the final evacuation plan.

According to the plan, the main forces of the entire army cluster will be evacuated to the most marginal areas of the coast in advance, because there are only a few days left before a large-scale retreat.

On the outskirts of Tokyo, somewhere in the countryside.

"Ishihara-kun, I didn't expect your plan to be so old-fashioned, I'm not as good as you in terms of strategy." Seishiro Itagaki and his old friend Ishihara were drinking, and even their favorite songs were nowhere to be seen.

"Itagaki-kun also has a lot of credit, and this time he was able to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to agree to carry out this plan, and Itagaki-kun was the first hero." Ishihara hides behind the lenses with a pair of mouse eyes, flashing a strange gaze that is unique to him.

Seishiro Itagaki said: "The Chinese have a saying that those who achieve great things are not informal. What Britain and France could not do back then, we can do in our empire. In the last two months, their soldiers have surrendered in Southeast Asia, division by division, without resistance, and as if they were freed, they could not wait to be driven into prisoner of war camps from the tropical jungle. What a disgrace to the military. Although the empire is also in a difficult situation at the moment, I believe that this is only temporary, and as long as we exchange small for big and abandon the car to protect the pawn, the empire can turn the situation around. ”

"The infantry units of the United States and Britain completely lacked sustained combat effectiveness, and it was good that the battle went well, but once the battle did not go well, it was really defeated. Fighting on land, with the same forces and the same equipment, only we can withstand the army of the Chinese. Not so good for the Soviets, not even more so for the British, not so good for the Americans. This is why I strongly recommend this plan to the Emperor and His Excellency Hideki Tojo, that once the situation is reversed, the Imperial [***] team will be fully armed with American weapons, and we will be stronger than ever.

Now that the second battlefield in Europe is about to open, I don't think that the Germans can withstand the fierce offensive of the Allies, once the Germans are defeated and Europe is disintegrated, the Chinese will face the attack of the allies all over the world, and our empire will be the first to land in China and counterattack the allies in China. ”

Ishihara's gaze became a little hideous, but because of the defeat of the Soviet Union, the Allied forces withdrew from the Far East, and the second battlefield in Europe was about to open, so that the army saw the light again. Senior military officers generally believed that once Germany was defeated and the Nazi puppet regime in Europe was sabotaged from within, China would become the enemy of the whole world in the future.

The dog that fell into the water, once it grabbed a straw, how crazy it was, it can be seen from this great retreat plan.

The entire Vanino retreat plan is very large, and it is also very bold and cruel.

Excluding the Americans, the plan of the military mainly includes the following aspects.

First, the Yue army cluster centered on Vanino began to shrink first, and according to the Chinese offensive, 10-20 divisions were used as blocking forces, and other troops quickly retreated to the coastline, while American planes would compete with the Chinese air force for air supremacy overhead.

Second, if the Chinese attack is particularly fierce, then the blocking troops of these more than a dozen divisions will retreat again, and then leave three to five divisions to form the final line of defense, and behind them will be a fan-shaped zone with the coastline as the baseline line to the inland, and the entire fan-shaped arc will be more than 20 kilometers long, and this zone more than 20 kilometers long and several kilometers wide will be used by the army to carry out the battlefield poison gas blockade, once implemented, not to mention the Chinese soldiers, even the Chinese tank units will not be able to pass.

Third, a large fleet of ships at sea should be dispatched to transport troops to escape at night, while during the day, a large number of fishing boats and small civilian boats would be concentrated and mixed in with the large fleet of evacuating ships, so that in the event of an air attack, the losses would be large and small, and the objectives of the fleet would be minimized, and the purpose of sacrificing a part to protect the majority could also be achieved.

And there are two most critical points in the plan, which is also the most resourceful place where Ishihara claims to be the most resourceful.

First of all, once the plan of the battlefield gas separation zone was implemented, the association first publicized to the world the large-scale use of poison gas by Chinese to exterminate people's surnames, and the plan would also report in conjunction with the media of some allied countries, and the policy of media control during the war made most mainstream newspapers completely obey the orders of the political axe.

Secondly, it is also the last big trick of my plan.

If the blocking troops of the dozen divisions can escape to the poison gas zone after the blockade is successful, then there is no problem, once they cannot evacuate, they will die under the poison gas prepared in advance, and then they can also bite back a bite of the Chinese, of course, if the retreat plan fails, these poison gases may even be used on the main forces of the Yue army.

"It's just that I think the last step can be considered more, Ishihara-kun, an emperor of this scale, shouldn't be such an ending." Seishiro Itagaki still wants to persuade him.

As a result, Ishihara waved his hand and said, "Itagaki-kun doesn't need to say more, Your Excellency Tojo means that if the plan goes well, then everything can be easily solved, but if the plan does not go well, then if not all, there must be some people who will pay the sacrifice, and they will exchange for more political advantages in the empire."

Actually, from my point of view, I desperately don't want those warriors to become prisoners of war in Chinese and serve their sentences under their enslavement......"

"Ishihara-kun, let's just say this kind of thing in private, I've heard the rumors that some weak generals think you're too cruel......"

The two continued to talk, but they didn't know that their plan to keep it secret in the best possible way had been leaked.

And the information about the rough plan was sent to China even shortly after Ishihara put forward the plan, and the detailed plan, especially the details of the gas warfare, soon appeared on Zhang Shusheng's desk.

…… When Zhang Shusheng looked at the top-secret information that had just been delivered in his hand, he couldn't help frowning, and then looked at Luo Feng in front of him, and said angrily, "I really cut off my surname, more than a dozen divisions and regiments, they actually want them to die under the poison gas bombs of Yue Ben after losing the battle, and they also tried in vain to frame us."

What bullshit public opinion advantage, I think they are trying to win the sympathy of the Americans. ”

Luo Feng hadn't seen Zhang Shusheng so angry for a long time, and he knew that although the chairman was not afraid of these little tricks of himself, it was still very uncomfortable.

In the presence of super sleeper agents, his military plan is almost impossible to keep, but what if China does not have a sleeper plan that has been launched decades in advance? What if the Chinese agents coincidentally didn't get this information? That would at least be a passive situation.

Of course, now that we know the situation, it would be a real fool's mind if we don't respond.

"Chairman of the National Committee, in fact, there is still a way to sabotage the conspiracy of the Yue himself, we only need to announce one step ahead of them that the Yue army has used poison gas bombs on a large scale and use them on our own people in a frenzied manner; as long as we have tangible evidence, it will be difficult for the Yue himself to quibble, and when the time comes, in cooperation with some small and medium-sized newspapers of the allies, there will be a large amount of empirical evidence, and it will be difficult for him to argue."

Luo Feng suggested that there are still many newspapers secretly controlled by China in the world, some of which are very deeply hidden, and they can be directly exposed once used, and there are also many other propaganda methods, such as using hot air balloons to scatter newspapers and pasting newspapers in cities.

Zhang Shusheng nodded and said, "Well, this plan is entrusted to you, I will order the mobilization of the best aerial reconnaissance aircraft with the clearest camera function, we will also use poison gas, once the battle is delayed, we will also build a quarantine belt, even if the devil is crazy, he will not be able to run." ”

After the response and strategy of the poison gas war were decided, Zhang Shusheng's attention was quickly diverted by the large air battle and the fleet group that was already gathering.
