Chapter 63: Evil is rewarded
"Don't chase, we are all wearing coveralls, we will suffer in action, just wait for dawn, after dawn, we just clean up the battlefield, and leave the front things to the infiltrators and guerrillas" After changing into protective clothing for two days, Tang Lei's voice was a little urn-like, and it sounded a little ridiculous. But the mercenaries under him didn't dare to laugh, Tang Lei was an unsympathetic guy, if anyone touched his brow, Guan Bao could train you to death on the training ground, many mercenaries in the Qingfeng army had suffered like this.
"Send a report to the infiltrator team we contacted, the hunt begins" The 13th Wing withdrew, but Tang Lei's battle had just begun, and a rolling log battle and night poison gas caused the 13th Wing to drop hundreds of corpses under the Rolling Dragon Slope. These hundreds of people died directly, and those Japanese soldiers who had already inhaled the poison gas would die one after another in the next few days, and the inhaled poison gas would slowly erode their organs until they were too weak to support their bodies. And what Tang Lei and they have to do now is to pursue them and speed up the erosion of those Japanese organs.
Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops wanted to block the actions of the 13th Wing in Rolling Dragon Slope, and several infiltrator units that had been pursuing the 13th Wing knew about it, but they just didn't know the nature of the Qingfeng troops and the means they used. Before the operation began, Tang Lei used the radio to tell the infiltrator forces and the Burmese guerrillas to stay at least 5 kilometers away from the 13th Wing and not to rush near or pass through Rolling Dragon Slope for at least a few days. Although I don't know what Tang Lei wants to do, the infiltrator troops who received the notice tried their best to restrain the Burmese guerrillas who cooperated with them to withdraw to the rear of the 13th Wing, which would just stop the retreating 13th Wing.
"Captain, there's movement ahead, there's a lot of people listening" As soon as the team members lurking in the big tree on the left noticed the movement, the light from the truck's headlights flashed on the road ahead. As the vanguard of the 6th Division, the 13th Wing was also equipped with trucks, which were originally used to transport supplies, but now became a means of escape for Okamoto and his family. In fact, the poison gas released by Tang Lei did not cause much harm to the 13th Wing, and only a few soldiers were initially harmed by the erosive poison gas, but when Tang Lei ordered the shelling later, many of the soldiers of the 13th Wing in the panic were attacked by the poison gas.
Okamoto Hoyuki knows the dangers of poison gas, and his officers also know that there are still an unknown number of attackers shelling their temporary camp on the rolling dragon slope, and the best way is to get out of the gas zone as soon as possible and then find a way for the military doctor to treat those soldiers who have been attacked by poison gas, not to mention that Okamoto Hoyuki, as the wing commander, has been put on a truck by his guards, and where will the remaining officers stay for the soldiers who have been poisoned.
"Machine gun ready, stop their truck for me" The infiltrator team that had been waiting for a long time was equipped with a Type 92 heavy machine gun and a Browning light machine gun captured from the Japanese army, as well as a mortar and two grenadiers, it was impossible to stop the 13th Wing with such firepower, but it was not a problem to intercept the trucks that had withdrawn in a hurry. Okamoto Hoyuki and the others, who were wearing gas masks on their faces, thought that someone in front of them was ready to ambush them, but they only heard two "bang" and "bang" sounds, and two flares were shot into the air, and Okamoto Hoyuki, who felt bad in his heart, turned over and jumped out of the carriage.
Before Okamoto could climb down the roadbed, a burst of gunfire was heard, and the first truck with the "boom" had caught fire and stopped, and the truck with its head tilted to the side was so dead that the entire section of the road was blocked, and the trucks behind that had no way to go had to stop. "Poof", "poof", "poof", "poof" and "poof" bullets flew in a row, and a rain of bullets with dark red ballistics knocked out huge bullet holes for trucks parked on kilometers. The wooden carriage slabs and tarpaulins could not stop the accurate fire of machine gun bullets, and the Japanese soldiers crowded in the carriage climbed out of the carriage one by one with screams, and then fell heavily to the ground.
After experiencing the initial panic, Okamoto Hoyuki climbed down the roadbed with his hands and feet on the ground, and some of his officers and soldiers climbed down the roadbed with him. Under the white light of the flares, the entire section of the road had been soaked with blood and turned dark red, and some of the soldiers who had been killed by the bullets and forced to get out of the carriage were still screaming on the road, and many more had become dead.
The Japanese troops who reacted to the "boom" began to bombard the places where the gunfire appeared with mortars and grenadiers, but after a short pause in the enemy's fire, they reappeared on their flanks, and the Japanese troops suppressed by the gunfire on the road completely became their targets. There was more than one truck that caught fire and exploded, and the burning trucks lined up in a row became the best flares, illuminating the entire stretch of the road and providing the best view for the infiltrator's machine gunners.
"Boom" and "Boom" two huge craters appeared near the ambush of the infiltrator team, and the mountain artillery towed by the Japanese follow-up truck finally fired. "Retreat, retreat, let's change places to clean them up" In less than an hour, the sky will light up, and once the line of sight is restored, the power of the Japanese mountain artillery will be multiplied, and the infiltrator squad will not be able to risk the danger of ambushing the 13th Wing. Leaving behind a field of bullet casings, the infiltrator squad spent hours in the night with weapons and ammunition, and the burning trucks on the highway were like torches lit in celebration of victory.
Two rounds of mountain artillery smashed over, and the opponent's machine gun finally stopped, but Okamoto Hoyuki, who was protected by the Guardian Corps, was in a terrible mood. Just a rolling dragon slope made his 13th Wing suffer heavy casualties, ran here and encountered an ambush, and lost several trucks, so if he continued to fight, he didn't wait for himself to fight with Thunder's troops, his 13th Wing was almost consumed, and the damn Thunder was really hard to deal with.
"Gather your troops, send a search team to search both sides of the road, and be sure to eliminate all hidden dangers" Okamoto Hoyuki, who was already frightened by the attack, finally planned to stop retreating and start gathering his troops, the place where they were attacked was at least 3 or 4 miles away from Rolling Dragon Slope, and the poisonous gas released by the attackers would not affect here. One of the guards closest to Okamoto was sacrificed and ordered to take off his gas mask to test for the presence of poisonous gas in the air, and after ten minutes, all the Japanese soldiers who had successfully retreated here took off their gas masks and the gas crisis was resolved.
"Vomiting" Some of the Japanese soldiers who took a break began to vomit, and some people began to have symptoms of rolling on the ground and scratching their chests and throats with their hands. The soldiers of the 13th Wing, who had already been gathered together by the officers, rioted again, and when they were attacked by the poison gas last night, the light was not very good, and everyone could not see it very clearly.
But this will be a good sight, the tragic condition of the poison-haired soldier clearly appeared in their sight, the soldier with a festering face and yellow water is simply a nightmare, but that's it, the soldier is still not dead, just rolling on the ground and screaming. With his scratching, his chest, which was originally covered with sweat and stains, was already covered with pus, and who was not afraid of such a scene, even the ambulance soldiers, who were accustomed to seeing death and wounded, did not dare to approach the soldier, but just watched him die slowly.
"Eight grid tooth road, immediately check the soldier's body, and immediately isolate any ulcers and abscesses on the body, and gather the soldiers who are not poisoned together" The collective outbreak of poison gas symptoms was simply worse for Okamoto Hoyuki, and when he used poison gas bombs when he was on guard against the attackers the day before yesterday, he was still complacent about the power of the Empire's biological and chemical weapons. But it's not even three days, the same bad luck fell on his head, it seems that only that day's coming to China is right, this is called evil retribution, if it wasn't for the fact that he first used a gas bomb to deal with Thunder's troops, I'm afraid the other party would not have dealt with him like this, this is simply a revenge from Thunder.
The ambulance soldiers and the officers organized a physical examination of the soldiers, and they were busy fighting the rising sun, and Okamoto finally got the final result, the 13th Wing gathered less than 2,500 soldiers, and more than 1,000 were found to have symptoms of poison. All in all, the 13th Wing, which Okamoto was so proud of, was almost gone, and with only 1,500 intact soldiers, he was no longer qualified to approach Lashio.
"Let's go, let's go back to Lashio" Tang Lei, who was cleaning the battlefield in a one-piece protective suit, received a message from the infiltrator team in front, confirming that the 13th Wing had seized a hill and planned to hold it for a long time, and the infiltrator troops and the Burmese guerrillas could not find a chance to continue the sneak attack for the time being. Tang Lei was reluctant to wade into this troubled water. The order his Qingfeng troops received was only to give the 13th Wing a severe blow, and put almost half of the soldiers in the most annoying, this purpose has obviously been achieved, Tang Lei can't take the Qingfeng troops to match the infiltrator troops to fight a sneak attack, that is not their strong point.
Compared with the infiltrator troops and those Burmese guerrillas, Tang Lei's trophies this time can be described as rich, except for the fire mortar shells, the guns and bullets they brought are almost useless. The weapons and ammunition of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were discarded by the 13th Wing in the temporary camp were all intact, not only that, but the mercenaries under Tang Lei also found a 75 mountain gun that was pushed down the roadbed by the Japanese army in a panic, although there were not many shells, but it was enough to fight a war of annihilation. In short, Tang Lei will make a lot of money, the loose carriage is full of loot when he comes, if he doesn't drive down some mercenaries on foot, I'm afraid it will be impossible to bring back all the loot that has been captured.
