Chapter 12: Poison Gas?

Received an order from Zhao Zhi. Squatting outside the city and panicking, Chekov immediately came to his senses, Zhao Zhi for the safety of the artillery and snipers, but left a team of machine gunners outside the city gate as their cover fire, a full 6 Czech light machine guns. The firepower of the Czech light machine gun is not too fierce, Zhao Zhi can get the American-style Browning light machine gun, but the Czech light machine gun is the most popular firearm in the Chinese army after all, and the bullet is easy to replenish, and what Zhao Zhi values most is the weight of the Czech light machine gun and the magazine of 30 rounds.

Among the mercenaries under Zhao Zhi, there was no problem at all with a firearm as heavy as a Czech light machine gun carrying out formation attack operations in their hands. Moreover, the Czech light machine gun is equipped with a 30-round reload magazine, although the reload is a little less, but the Czech type hidden in the attack formation can well supplement the shortcomings of the submachine gun's short range, and it is not as troublesome to operate as the Japanese light machine gun. The Czech secondary shooter can also act as a submachine gunner, providing ammunition for the machine gun and also acting as a cover for fire in an attack formation.

Chekov is now very powerful, not only with enough grenadier ammunition, but also with 6 more light machine guns, not to mention a team of snipers lurking in the pit in front of him. It's just that Chekov doesn't know it yet, Takeshi Okamoto in the city gate is gathering his soldiers and preparing to rush out to fight him to the death, if Chekov knows the news, he will definitely jump up with joy. Suddenly there was a terrible whistle outside the city gate, and a few metal cylinders were suddenly thrown out behind the snipers hiding on the side of the avenue, and before the Japanese puppet military binoculars on the city gate could see clearly, bursts of white smoke came out of the metal cylinders that were gurgling and rolling on the ground, and the white smoke from the cylinders gradually became a piece, making the city gate like a fog, and nothing could be seen.

"Beware of poison gas, gas mask, wear a gas mask" Takeshi Okamoto, who had re-boarded the city gate, looked out with a telescope, and what entered the line of sight was several figures wearing gas masks. The white smoke has shrouded a large area more than ten meters away from the city gate with the direction of the wind, Takeshi Okamoto shouted in Japanese, and only the Japanese soldiers could understand what he meant, the city gate was full of Japanese soldiers who were busy rummaging through their backpacks for gas masks, and those smarter Imperial Cooperative Army simply secretly threw their guns away, no one is a fool, the Japanese have that pig's nose to wear to save their lives, they have nothing.

Putting on a gas mask, the frightened Okamoto Takeshi gradually calmed down, the power of poison gas, Okamoto Takeshi has seen, as the troops just entered Shanxi, the military department sent a few experts in bacteriological warfare, just a small smoke can erupted from the poison gas poisoned hundreds of national prisoners at a time, Okamoto Takeshi still can't forget those prisoners of war foaming at the mouth and looking black and purple. It's just that where did the poisonous gas come from on the dirt Eighth Road outside the city, Takeshi Okamoto, who had settled his heart, was a little surprised, in his understanding of the Eighth Route Army, there should be no one who understood the poison gas warfare in the army that was tattered and lacking guns and ammunition, and after inadvertently moving his eyes to those imperial alliance troops, Takeshi Okamoto got the answer he wanted.

The white smoke wafting from outside the city was not a poisonous gas at all, he had been deceived, and this was the answer Takeshi Okamoto had gotten. That's right, just now, when Takeshi Okamoto inadvertently moved his gaze to the Imperial Allied Army on the city gate, he suddenly found that the Imperial Allied Army without gas masks did not show any signs of poisoning at all. The reason why those Imperial Cooperative troops shrank into a ball and hid under the battlements was mainly because they were frightened by the dirt road outside the city, and with the change of wind direction, the white smoke outside the city kept circling more than ten meters away from the city gate, and it did not drift to the city gate building at all.

"Yaga, the conscience of the earth is dead, it's bad" The angry Takeshi Okamoto took off the gas mask on his face and fell to the ground, sure enough, the white smoke was just smoke, and he didn't even feel a little uncomfortable when he inhaled it into his lungs, and Takeshi Okamoto was completely deceived. "Open the cannon, fire at the smoke outside the city" Takeya Okamoto didn't care who was standing next to him, he rushed to the mortar side and ordered them to open fire on the white smoke outside the city. It is indeed not easy to force the men of non-artillerymen to hit a fixed target, but if it is just a bombardment of smoke, as long as it is an individual, it can be done.

There was a booming explosion, and the qi formed after the explosion of the cannonball tore apart the white mist little by little, and the avenue shrouded in smoke reappeared in Takeshi Okamoto's sight. There was no shelling, no gunshots, it was quiet inside and outside the city gate, Takeshi Okamoto looked left and right with a telescope, those nasty dirt roads should have left, he saw nothing with the telescope, not even a little abnormal. "Where's the gun?" A dense burst of gunfire suddenly rushed into Takeshi Okamoto's ears, and the direction from which the gunshots came should have been the west side of the county seat, where was his barracks.

The gunfire was dense and rhythmic, and Takeshi Okamoto could tell that it was not the gunfire of a Japanese firearm, could it be that the troops of the Shina people had entered the county, but where did they enter the county from here? Takeshi Okamoto slapped his head, it's too bad, he has fallen into the trap of the people of China, and the dirt road outside the city gate is simply attracting his attention, so that he thinks that they are going to attack the county seat, in fact, the main force of the people of China has been lurking in other directions of the county town early, and when he is entangled with people here, he has already entered the city, this is the so-called sound of the people of China.

"You take someone to stay here to guard the city gate, you must not be broken through by the people of China, I will take half of the soldiers back to the barracks to rescue, Takeda-kun, please leave it to you here" Okamoto Takeshi Takeo bowed deeply to his adjutant Takeda Kino, turned around and went down the city gate building with his orderly, and gathered a part of the Japanese puppet army to rush along the street towards the barracks on the west side of the county. There was not only a large amount of food supplies in the barracks, but also a large number of weapons and ammunition hoarded, and the defense of the city gate was lost.

So no matter what, Takeshi Okamoto has to ensure the safety of the barracks, even if it is at the risk of his own life.
