On the morning of May 3, 1909, after the German, Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish forces of the five countries once again lost the positions of the Chinese Empire that they had worked so hard to capture, the battle on the front line of the Ural Mountains suddenly stopped, and the five countries did not continue to attack, and the officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, the first line of defense in the Ural Mountains, did not have nothing to look for, but honestly waited for the next wave of attacks by the five power alliances.

However, the coalition forces of the five countries of Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey are not really ready to stop, because the attack on the defense line of the Chinese Empire was blocked, and the alliance forces of Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey decided to use poison gas to attack, and the battlefield is now temporarily calm because the coalition forces of the five countries are waiting for gas shells and gas masks equipped with millions of coalition officers and soldiers to arrive at the front line of the Ural Mountains.

The Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire, which was waiting in the defensive positions of the Ural Mountains, was not aware of this at all, and Germany, Russia, and Italy, which were transporting poison gas to the front line of the Ural Mountains, all adopted strict secrecy measures, and even the intelligence system of the Chinese Empire did not notice anything abnormal, and they did not know at all that the German, Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish coalition forces, which had been forced to be in a hurry, were already preparing to carry out vicious poison gas attacks on the defenders of the Chinese Empire on the defense line of the Ural Mountains, and even the mustard gas, which was newly developed by Germany. It is also ready to be thrown into the defense line of the Chinese Empire.

More than ten days passed quickly, and on May 15, 1909, in the temporary headquarters of the Third Guards Army of the first line of defense in the Ural Mountains, Ni Fan, the commander of the Third Guards Army and the commander-in-chief of the defensive operation in the Ural Mountains, found the commanders of the other four field armies of the first line of defense, and then said: "Our Royal Air Force has not stopped bombing the five-nation coalition these days, but the troops of the five-nation coalition are only bombing them when our Royal Air Force bombs them. Stubborn resistance to our Royal Air Force fighters using anti-aircraft weapons, from the night attack of 2 May. The 5-nation coalition forces have never launched any scale of strong attack on the first line of defense guarded by our five main forces, and according to the reconnaissance of the Royal Air Force, the 5-nation coalition forces have no intention of evacuating, that is, in the past few days, the 5-nation coalition forces have suffered great losses, and after these days of rest. It's time for some action, I don't know what the hell the hell the 5-nation coalition is fighting? ”

The five-nation coalition forces suddenly stopped attacking the defense line of the Imperial Chinese Army in the Ural Mountains for more than ten days, which made Ni Fan, who firmly believed that the coalition would always attack, was a little confused, and couldn't figure out what the coalition was going to do.

Deng Zichao, the commander of the Third Field Army, frowned and said: "If the millions of troops of the Five-Nation Alliance want to cross the Ural Mountains and reach the area east of the Ural Mountains, they can only pass through this canyon. Could it be that the five-nation coalition is waiting for more troops, or are they also preparing to mobilize more fighters to compete with our Royal Air Force for air supremacy? ”

Hu Desheng, commander of the Fourth Field Army, then said: "In the past ten days since the five-nation coalition stopped attacking, the five-nation coalition has not continued to increase the strength of the first line of the Ural Mountains, and the five countries of Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey can gather more than 7 million troops here in the Ural Mountains, and the five countries have done their best, and it is estimated that in addition to Russia, they can send some additional army units, and the other four countries should not have the strength." The number of troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains has been increased, and there are more than 20 airfields in Russia along the entire west of the Ural Mountains. All of them have been destroyed by our Royal Air Force, and there is no indication that the five-nation coalition has the intention of increasing fighters and fighting for air supremacy. ”

Ni Fan said at this time: "Our Royal Army has gathered 17 main forces on the front line of the Ural Mountains. With more than 2.6 million Royal Army officers and soldiers, logistical supply is already very difficult, and the strength of the five-nation coalition is now more than twice that of ours, and their logistical pressure must be even greater, if the two sides continue to confront each other like this. It must be the first of the 5-nation coalition to be the first to stand up, we just need to respond to all changes with the same, strictly guard our 3 lines of defense, and wait for the attack of the 5-nation coalition, if the 5-nation coalition retreats directly, it will be better, and the final victory of this war, our Chinese empire will get it! ”

At 11 o'clock in the night of May 15, the five-nation coalition forces suddenly launched a poison gas attack on the first line of defense of the Ural Mountains of the Imperial Chinese Army without warning, and thousands of poison gas shells covered the forward position of the first line of defense of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire in an instant.

"Ahem, ahem, it's not good! Ahem, ahem, the enemy has released poison gas! Fast! Call everyone up, put on gas masks, cough cough cough! "A company commander of the Imperial Chinese Army was awakened by the muffled sound of shells, and then immediately asked the officers and soldiers of the whole company in the bunker to hurry up, but the last 220 people in the company, less than 160 people could get up and put on gas masks, and the rest had lost their combat effectiveness under the attack of poison gas, and many of them had even been poisoned to death.

This is still the poison gas shells that fell near this bunker are filled with chlorine gas, and some German gas shells are filled with mustard gas, which is even more powerful, that is, the officers and soldiers of the Royal Army wear gas masks, and mustard gas can also be through skin contact, bringing very large casualties to the officers and soldiers of the Royal Army.

The five main forces of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire in the first line of defense in the Ural Mountains found that the five allied forces had launched a poison gas attack in a frenzied manner, and immediately let the artillery positions of the five main forces use 105 mm howitzers and 155 mm heavy howitzers to bombard the artillery positions of the five allied forces without hesitating shells.

The infantry of the 5-nation coalition army took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the position of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire when it was attacked by poison gas, and dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to charge regardless of casualties, but it was still met with desperate resistance from the officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire in the forward position, although many officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire were killed by poison gas, but because everyone in the Royal Army was equipped with gas masks, the defenders of the forward position were not wiped out, and there were still many officers and soldiers of the Royal Army who escaped the poison gas.

Surviving Royal Army officers and soldiers. Wearing gas masks and using all weapons, he stubbornly blocked the hundreds of thousands of attacking troops of the 5-nation coalition army, after all, ignoring the mustard gas of gas masks, Germany did not transport much to the front line of the Ural Mountains, and even some mustard gas shells were detonated by the artillery of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, so that the artillery officers and soldiers of the coalition army also tasted the power of German mustard gas.

The German, Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish forces attacked with poison gas. In addition, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of army units took the opportunity to attack, and the result was that the onslaught until the early morning of the next day, did not occupy many forward positions of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, as the sky became brighter, the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, dispatched more than 1,500 fighters, and carried out carpet bombing on dozens of suspected coalition artillery positions, and cooperated with the counterattack troops on the ground. Once again, all positions lost during the night were regained.

At noon on May 16, in the temporary headquarters of the Third Guards Army in the first line of defense in the Ural Mountains, Ni Fan, the commander-in-chief of this defensive operation in the Ural Mountains, turned pale, and the other four commanders of the field army in the temporary headquarters of the Third Guards Army at this time also had very bad faces.

Ni Fan sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the five countries of Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey would be so frustrated and directly carry out a poison gas attack on our Royal Army, and I spent the night yesterday." Although we still did not allow the 5-nation coalition forces to capture many positions, the losses of our 5 main forces were very serious. According to preliminary statistics, there were at least 30,000 Royal Army officers and soldiers who were poisoned by the five-nation coalition forces last night, and more than 60,000 were injured to varying degrees in the poison gas attack. ”

Deng Zichao, the commander of the Third Field Army, shouted angrily: "Revenge! Revenge must be taken! These bastards, our Imperial Chinese Army is not without poison gas. Even the poison gas possessed by our Royal Army is more powerful, but we are unwilling to use these terrible weapons, and we did not expect that our enemies have no scruples to launch a poison gas attack on us, and our Royal Army must also retaliate, and we should report to the emperor immediately. Deliver the poison gas shells from our Chinese Empire's reserves to the front line of the Ural Mountains as quickly as possible, so that the 5-nation coalition forces can also taste the taste of poison gas. ”

Hu Desheng, commander of the Fourth Field Army, said: "We must guard against the coalition forces carrying out another poison gas attack on our forward positions, in addition to letting the officers and men of the forward troops wear gas masks at all times, we should also ask the logistics department to send us a batch of full-body protective clothing to the front line. ”

Yu Lichen, commander of the Ninth Field Army, followed and said: "I think we can let the main forces of the second line of defense, the third line of defense and the reserve corps transfer a part of the 105 mm howitzers and 155 mm heavy howitzers to strengthen the artillery fire of our first line of defense. This time, we did not transport the gas shells of our Chinese Empire to the Ural Mountains, and we could only rely on the large-caliber artillery of our artillery to counter the gas shells of the coalition forces. ”

Ni Fan sighed again and said: "We still have to ask the logistics department to bring us a batch of medicines for the treatment of poison gas injuries, last night alone, we had more than 60,000 wounded people who were damaged by poison gas, and now we are very short of medicines for treating poison gas injuries on the front line of the Ural Mountains." ”

The Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, guarding the Ural Mountains, was extremely shocked and angry at the allied poison gas attack, and the five-nation coalition was not satisfied with the long-planned poison gas attack.

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon of May 16, in the underground headquarters of the 5-nation coalition army in the city of Zwutoust, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Hindenburg, the commander of the Russian army, Sonokopsky, the commander of the Italian army, Hannaved, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian army, and the commander of the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Army, Bagilya, did not have a very good-looking face, the poison gas attack last night did not achieve the results they hoped for, and they fought for half the night, and did not capture many positions of the Chinese Empire, shortly after dawn, These positions of the Chinese Empire, which had been occupied with great difficulty, were recaptured by others under the attack of the Imperial Chinese Air Force and the Imperial Chinese Army, as before.

Hindenburg said in a deep voice: "Our attack last night was too far from our assumption, and our coalition forces fired a large number of poison gas shells at the Chinese Imperial defense line, which did not produce too significant results, and now all the positions of the Chinese Empire that we captured last night have been lost. ”

The commander of the Italian army, Hannawede, sighed and said: "The chlorine and phosgene gas that we Italy transported from China are still too small for the Chinese Imperial Army, where everyone has gas masks, as long as the German mustard gas is the most threatening to the Chinese Imperial Army, but unfortunately the amount of mustard gas shipped by Germany is still too small, not enough to bring greater damage to the defenders of the Chinese Imperial Defense Line, as a result, millions of army troops from our five countries took the opportunity to launch a strong attack, and still encountered the stubborn resistance of the Chinese Imperial Army, Bansu didn't capture many positions of the Chinese Empire, but as soon as the morning dawned, all such a small position was snatched back, which was really depressing. ”

Russian Army Commander Sonokopsky said: "We can't give up, I think our five-nation coalition army should continue to carry out poison gas attacks on the army of the Chinese Empire, our Russian army still has a large number of chlorine shells in its hands, our five-nation coalition army should continue to launch a poison gas war, and strive to solve the Chinese Imperial army in the Ural Mountains before the poison gas of the Chinese Empire reaches the front line of the Ural Mountains, otherwise our trouble will be very, very big!" ”

Listening to Sonokopsky's words, the other four coalition commanders couldn't help but sigh secretly, now that the coalition forces have carried out a poison gas attack first, then the Chinese Imperial Army with poison gas will definitely not be merciful, and will inevitably transport a large number of poison gas shells from the Chinese Empire to the front line of the Ural Mountains.

The officers and men of the Imperial Chinese Army were able to withstand the poison gas attack, but the land forces of the Five-Nation Alliance did not know if they could withstand it. (To be continued.) )
