With Qiao Youhua taking the lead, the soldiers who had been fighting smoothly came out from behind the ruins one after another, and followed Qiao Youhua to launch a counterattack charge against the devil.

The light machine gun in Qiao Youhua's hand chased the devil soldiers and kept firing, and in just a few shots, more than seven or eight ghost soldiers died under his gun.

At the same time, Jiang Haidong and the others heard the shouts of killing here, and they also occupied the ruins of some houses on both sides of the street, and tried their best to block the devil soldiers who tried to retreat and escape.

Under their firepower, the devil soldiers who were bent on retreating and escaped from the town were shot and fell down in pieces, killed and wounded.

In the end, under the siege and interception of the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Tooth, there were less than 500 devils who escaped, and many of them were still injured in different ways.

After the battle, the 1st Battalion of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force regained control of the entire town, but the fortifications outside the town were blocked by the devils with light and heavy machine guns, and the 1st Battalion failed to take advantage of the situation to recapture.

In order to avoid a strong attack and cause unnecessary casualties and losses, Qiao Youhua ordered the soldiers to stop the pursuit, quickly retreat, pass through the Guò tunnel, and enter the tunnel again to prepare for a counterattack at night.

At the same time, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong also organized manpower to clean up the entrances and exits of the tunnels that may be repaired.

In the headquarters of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Knowing that the attacking troops were ambushed by the other side and returned with a crushing defeat, Major General Toshiji Miura, the commander of the 21st Brigade, was furious, and knocked the wing commander in charge of the attack to the ground with a slap, and roared angrily: "Baga Yalu, the imperial army has been shelling for more than half an hour, and so many precious shells have been consumed, and you can't even capture the town that has become a ruin, it's just a rice bucket!" Damn it, damn it! ”

The beaten wing captain was full of grievances, and he couldn't care about his cheeks, which had already begun to be red and swollen, so he quickly got up, bowed his head and said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please calm your anger, it's not that the imperial army is incompetent, it's really that the people are very cunning, they have underground tunnels!" Moreover, there were many secret entrances and exits, and the artillery bombardment of such a scale by the imperial army failed to bury and destroy all of their entrances and exits.

When the imperial army shelled, they hid in the underground tunnels, and the troops did not suffer any losses at all, and after the shelling was over, they drilled out again and ambushed the imperial army, and we couldn't defend against it at all! ”

"Yaga! So you say, what are we going to do? After a day of onslaught, with so many troops and so many ammunition consumed, but still failed to capture the town, only captured inconsequential peripheral positions, how do you ask me to explain to the division and regimental headquarters? "What Toshishi Miura said when he saw his subordinates also made sense.

After all, the people of China have underground tunnels, and no one could have predicted that they are so cunning, so their anger has been slightly reduced.

The attack failed, suffered heavy losses, and was beaten by the commander in public, the devil Dazuo held back his anger and resentment in his heart, and the evil was born to the guts, he quickly came up with a vicious method, and said to Major General Toshiji Miura: "General, use special bombs!" ”

"Nani? Special bombs? Miura's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he seemed to be very interested in this.

Seeing this, the devil Dazuo nodded and continued, his cheeks, which seemed to be already red and swollen, were no longer painful: "Yes, general, the people of China are hiding in the underground tunnel, with the ground building as a cover, we can't find their tunnel entrance in a short time, and even if we do, it will be difficult to attack."

The use of special ammunition can cause great damage to the Chinese people, because once the poisonous gas smoke spreads, it is pervasive, especially in the underground tunnels, as long as the air enters, the poisonous fog will enter, so that the Chinese people will be suffocated alive in the underground tunnels.

The Imperial Army would be able to win without a fight, and it would be easy to capture the town. ”

Although the Geneva Conventions stipulate that warring countries are not allowed to use inhumane gas bombs, in China, little Japan, which bullies the weak and exterminates humanity and never treats Chinese as human beings, obviously will not have any concerns.

Worried that he would not be able to break through the defense of the first battalion of Longya and achieve a decisive victory, Major General Toshiji Miura, who asked the division headquarters for merit and made a name for himself, naturally did not refuse, and immediately nodded happily in agreement.

Once poison gas bombs are used as unconventional weapons of mass destruction, if they are equipped with a certain Japanese combat unit, they are kept separately by the Japanese army's baggage units, and when they need to be used, the supreme commander of this unit will issue an order and distribute them to the formed artillery units at all levels that need them.

After Toshishi Miura reported the difficulties he was facing to the division headquarters, Seishiro Itagaki, who had never shown mercy to the lives of the Chinese, happily agreed to the request to use gas bombs.

Dozens of wooden boxes filled with hundreds of rounds of poison gas bombs were quietly pulled out of Shimen County by a military truck and driven to Erdaogouzi Town. Of course, there were also two military trucks full of gas masks that came out of the car, and like poison gas bombs, gas masks were carried and stored by the logistics troops, and distributed to the combat units when needed.

An artillery squadron of the artillery wing directly under the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, which cooperated with the 21st Brigade to fight, obtained the right to use it, and hundreds of devil artillerymen and ammunitionmen carefully moved these dozens of wooden boxes with death marks such as skulls painted on the outside to their artillery positions.

Preparations for the shelling were quickly prepared, and with the order of a Japanese artillery lieutenant, the first eight poison gas shells were loaded into the chamber, and the main gunner pulled the firing rope as the devil's main gunner pulled the firing rope.

The eight shells shot out with a whistling sound, heading straight for the second ditch where the smoke had not completely dissipated.

After the gas bomb fell with a whistling sound, it pierced into some building ruins or landed in some courtyards and street clearings, and did not explode, but began to fill with russet smoke.

The shelling was repeated more than ten times, and nearly 100 rounds of poison gas shells fell into Erdaogouzi Town one after another, and when the devils finished the shelling, the entire town was soon covered by poisonous fog.

The Japanese health guards and baggage soldiers had already distributed gas masks that looked like pigs' faces to the Japanese combat units on the front line, and of course, the blockade troops of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for the east and south directions, were no exception.

Because the baggage and other logistics units of the 10th Division to which they belonged were still on the way, even if the 5th Division was reluctant, they had to give them a gas mask.

In the town, in the underground tunnel, Qiao Youhua had already sensed the devil's conspiracy, and was the first to take out the towel he carried with him, soak it with water and cover his mouth and nose, and instructed other soldiers to follow him.

The towels and water prepared in advance came in handy at this moment, and the mustard poisonous gas that would dissipate with the water failed to cause substantial damage to the officers and soldiers of the dragon's tooth.
