Chief of Staff Zhou put down the phone and said with a frightened expression: "Junzao, this is a big trouble!" In order to travel lightly, the 33rd Brigade did not bring gas masks and gas vests. The 34 Brigade changed its mask to a grenade and brought only a gas suit. ”

Everyone was taken aback, looked at each other, and felt that something was wrong. Duan Shuanghu was anxious, and said loudly: "Military seat, I will immediately take someone to send the anti-poison equipment to the south bank!" It's not dawn yet, so it should be too late! ”

Zheng Weiguo pushed him and said hurriedly: "Why are you stunned, don't you go quickly!" He also said to Chief of Staff Zhou: "Did the 14th and 36th Cavalry Brigade bring anti-poison equipment?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "I am still in contact, and I have already asked the communications battalion to send an emergency telegram." "Because of their remote location, the two brigades did not have field telephones and could only communicate by radio.

Deputy Army Commander Wang interjected: "In my opinion, not only the south bank must be prepared, but our north bank must also be prepared. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "What Deputy Commander Wang said is right! On my orders, all brigades, regiments, and units directly under them must be urgently mobilized, especially field hospitals. In addition, the villagers in the vicinity should also be evacuated......"

One order after another was quickly conveyed, and the entire 97th Army, whether on the south bank or the north bank, began to move. Of course, the most anxious is still Zhao Yunxiang's department. They were entangled with the Japanese army, and even if they received anti-poison equipment, they could not distribute it for a while.

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang suggested: "Brigade seat, let's gather the troops that can still be mobilized to fight a counterattack, and strive to gather the troops as soon as possible." ”

At present, except for some of the outer positions that have been infiltrated by the Japanese army. The main positions were still under the control of the 33rd Brigade and the 34th Brigade, but most of the troops were arranged in front of the army, and they were mixed with the Japanese army, which was difficult to command.

Zhao Yunxiang thought for a moment and said: "Don't stop the troops who are too far ahead, with them, you can also contain the devils." Besides, the little devil shouldn't be wearing anti-virus equipment now, right? ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang said: "Judging from the situation yesterday afternoon and evening, the individual soldiers of the devils all carried anti-poison bags, but they did not wear them. Besides. It's a big night. You can't fight even if you wear a gas mask! ”

The Japanese army's gas masks were particularly tightly covered, and the vision was greatly affected. Visibility is already low at night, and if you put on a mask again, you can't hear or see clearly. Don't think about war.

Zhao Yunxiang waved his hand. Say, "Then don't be afraid!" According to my analysis. The little devil must have planned to take advantage of the dawn to move south, and while gathering his troops, he would release poison gas on our positions. Then kill a rifle or send reinforcements in other directions, depending on the situation. ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, if the little devil wants to use poison gas, this is the best way." ”

Zhao Yunxiang snorted and said, "Tu Feiyuan has a good plan, but I don't let them get their wish!" ”

As the minutes ticked by, there was a sudden whiteness in the east—the sky began to lighten. Suddenly there was a call from the Japanese position.

The fighters who were in charge of listening to the movements of the Japanese troops immediately reported the enemy situation to the Southern Front Command. Zhao Yunxiang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked, "Can you understand what the little devil said?" ”

The chief of the intelligence section reported: "We have arranged for fighters who are proficient in Japanese, and according to their reports, the Japanese army mainly conveyed three orders. The first was to order the wearing of anti-poison equipment, the second was to assemble the squadrons, and the third was to prepare the divisions for the transfer to the south. In addition to this, there are some dos and don'ts and promotional slogans. ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "It's almost exactly the same as what the brigade speculated, and it seems that Tufeiyuan has no other tricks." ”

Zhao Yunxiang was also determined, and said: "Now we can't be careless, let the 14th Cavalry Brigade and the 36th Brigade speed up to the middle, and strive to fight with the devil before he releases poison, if not, we must also give enough involvement to prevent him from escaping south." ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang whispered: "Brigade seat, if the devil wants to run, why should we stop it, isn't that a sharp increase in casualties?" Now that we have sacrificed so much, it is time for our allies to do their best. ”

Zhao Yunxiang shook his head and said categorically: "If everyone thinks so, then when will the devil be driven out of China?" Besides, these devils have killed and injured our brothers, how can they let it go? ”

The reason why the Battle of Lanfeng in history has become a laughing stock for the ages (the words of the chairman) has a lot to do with the preservation of the strength of the various departments of the national army. Needless to say, like Xiao Guizi, Qiu Maniac, Long Muhan, Huang Jie, and Peng Linsheng, the other departments are also mostly soy sauce, and they generally drove the Japanese army away, and did not strive to annihilate the vital force, causing the Japanese army to continue to shrink and hold together. Therefore, after the last day, the national army became more and more difficult to fight, and it was unable to conquer it for a long time, which eventually led to the collapse of Tufeiyuan.

The 14th Division originally had 20,000 men, plus more than 30,000 artillery, engineers, and baggage soldiers temporarily attached to it, which was equivalent to 30 brigades, but the Nationalist army besieged it for so long and conquered so many strongholds that it failed to form a group to annihilate a brigade (it is likely that even a squadron could not be formed and destroyed, but there is no clear data to confirm it).

Hearing Zhao Yunxiang say this, Deputy Brigade Commander Huang looked ashamed and said with a red face: "The lesson of the brigade is that you are selfish and selfish, please punish you!" ”

Zhao Yunxiang said with a smile: "It's serious, in fact, what you said is not unreasonable. He pointed to the map and said: "Tu Feiyuan is definitely not willing to be trapped by such a large army, and will definitely send troops to rescue it when the time comes, so the 36th Brigade cannot all come, and it is best to send one or two battalions to block the enemy's reinforcements." ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang hesitated for a moment and said, "The combat effectiveness of the 36th Brigade is average, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it." ”

The 97th Army now has four main brigades, and the 33rd Brigade is of course the strongest in combat effectiveness, and they are the old foundation of the Northwest Army, and the officers and non-commissioned officers have good military qualities, and they also have a large number of veterans with rich combat experience. The other three brigades do not have such good conditions, including the 34th Brigade from the Northeast Army, although it is Zheng Weiguo's descendant, but at the critical time, he still likes to drop the chain, which makes people not so reassured.

Zhao Yunxiang said: "The 36th Brigade is the old foundation of the Jin Sui Army, and the defense should be good. Besides, we can only count on them for now. ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang nodded. Didn't speak. The 33rd Brigade and the 34th Brigade were suppressed by the Japanese from the front, and the 35th Brigade was far away in Xinxiang, who else could you use without the 36th Brigade, and the 14th Cavalry Brigade could not be transferred, right?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Da Da Da ...... Boom Boom Boom ...... Suddenly gunfire rang out on the front line, which had been silent for most of the night, followed by machine guns and artillery, and the fire of war spread from sporadic bits and pieces, and soon swept over the boss's area.

Now that it was almost dawn and the cover of night had been lost, the armies of both sides were quickly moving into action. Since both sides were busy wearing anti-poison equipment and gathering troops. And the position is staggered. Conflict is inevitable.

"Hit! Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! Li Dazhuang was able to kill, rolled up his sleeves, and fired wildly at the Japanese army with a fast and slow machine in one hand.

At dawn, they suddenly discovered that a large group of Japanese troops lurked in front of the position. And this Japanese army suddenly found itself under siege. So the two sides fought without saying a word. Li Dazhuang took the lead. After leading the brothers in a bloody battle. Finally annihilated all these devils.

"Vice-seater, the brigade seat will let you go back to the brigade headquarters immediately!" Li Dazhuang was about to lead his team to continue the attack to the south, and the commander of the third battalion was quick to move. Hurriedly dragged him back to the trenches.

Li Dazhuang was a little unhappy and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The commander of the third battalion said: "A batch of gas masks has just been issued, saying that the devils want to release poison gas!" It's a big deal, so you might as well go back right away! ”

Li Dazhuang said angrily: "Why did you only tell me such an important thing now!" With that, he shook his hand and went back in a huff.

The third battalion commander shook his head with a wry smile, and was busy distributing the gas masks he had just received. Fortunately, the 34th Brigade brought gas suits, otherwise it would be troublesome.

The soldiers did not like to wear it, thinking that this gas mask was too bulky and very ugly. To be honest, the Japanese manufacturing in this era is really not very good, it is basically synonymous with shoddy production, and there is no ergonomics, so it is naturally uncomfortable to wear. But no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to put it on.

The third battalion commander scolded: "Are you looking for death, if you don't bring it again, Lao Tzu will kill you one by one!" ”

A platoon commander complained while wearing it: "There are better German-style masks, why do you want to make them for us little devils!" ”

The commander of the third battalion said: "Go, go, go!" Don't make Lao Tzu unhappy! How much did the German-style mask go to the top? It has long been occupied by the 33 Brigade. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were even more unhappy, and shouted one after another: "Why should all the good things belong to them?" The military seat is also eccentric! ”

"That's it! We are the descendants, why are the elbows of the military seat turned out! ”

……

The commander of the third battalion couldn't stand it anymore, and he wanted to get angry again, but the battalion cultural instructor (quite a battalion instructor) came forward to calm the emotions of the soldiers.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Several shells suddenly flew from a distance towards the ferry position on the south bank of the Yellow River, and then quickly exploded. Immediately afterwards, one shell after another smashed in, and the soldiers hurriedly burrowed into the anti-artillery holes to hide.

Curiously, these explosions were very minor and did not cause much damage. At the same time, a strong pungent gas filled the air.

One of the recruits was startled and exclaimed, "Oh no, the devil is gassing!" ”

The squad leader knocked on him and said loudly: "Brothers, don't be afraid, we wear gas masks, German goods, don't be afraid of little devils!" ”

The soldiers laughed and touched the high-end goods on their faces, and their hearts calmed down a lot. In this era, made in Germany is the guarantee of quality, and it is the most assured to use it.

Ahh One of the fighters leaning outside suddenly sneezed. The soldiers didn't care at first, and one old soldier even joked, saying, "Hey, Xiao Liu, your little daughter-in-law misses you!" ”

As he spoke, the old soldier himself sneezed, and the soldiers laughed loudly together.

Unexpectedly, this sneeze spread like a contagious disease, and everyone began to sneeze. Some fighters began to feel nauseous, vomited and had to take off their gas masks. But this time, the sneezing became even more severe, and some fighters even fainted and had convulsions. The hygienist ran around, sweating profusely and soon began to sneeze wildly.

"Not good! Gas masks don't work, evacuate to a well-ventilated place! "The officers finally realized that something was wrong and rushed to direct the transfer of troops. Ran outside, was blown by the river breeze, and the situation was slightly better. But there is no shelter on the river beach, what if the Japanese bombardment?

This information quickly reached the military headquarters. Chief of Staff Zhou was so anxious that he got into trouble and said, "Military seat, why doesn't the gas mask work?" How good is that! ”

Zheng Weiguo's head was also a mess, so he rubbed his face vigorously to calm himself down, and asked, "Is this the case with all brigades and battalions?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly said: "At present, the problems are all the 33rd Brigade, and the 34th Brigade says that the problem is not big. ”

Deputy Army Commander Wang said strangely: "This is strange, could it be that the poisonous gas of the little devils is mainly concentrated in the 33rd Brigade?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "It is quite possible, perhaps, that the ventilation of the positions of the 34 Brigade is better. ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "Even so, the gap won't be so obvious, let them check it again, right away!" Then he asked, "Has the third battalion of the engineer regiment been dispatched?" ”

The engineering units of the 97 th Army mainly include two major parts, one is the engineering troops, which have a large establishment but have no technical content, mainly building roads, laying bridges, digging tunnels, and doing coolie work, and the other is the engineering regiments, battalions, companies and other units that are incorporated into the regular army, and they are mainly divided into three major parts: engineering construction, mine laying and mine clearance, and poison disinfection.

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly said: "It's already gone!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Let them speed up the progress!" In addition, let the front line immediately count the situation, and you must stabilize your position in front of the devils! (To be continued......)
