However, the Kwantung Army did not use it in the northeast or did not have time to use it, but the Japanese army in Korea may not have done so. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoCompared with the Northeast, the strategic position of the Korean Peninsula is even more important for the Japanese army to hold the defensive line on its homeland. The Korean Peninsula was lost, and the Japanese lost their last barrier on the west coast.

At this time, if the Japanese were really like mad dogs, when they were dying and struggling, they used poison gas on a large scale to bite themselves, it would be a big loss.

Although the headquarters has repeatedly and strictly stipulated that during the war against the Japanese army, regardless of whether the Japanese army has used poison gas or not, all gas masks and poison gas protective equipment must be fully worn. However, it has been about two years, and there has been no encounter with the Japanese army's grass-roots troops using poison gas on the battlefield, and this is somewhat paralyzed ideologically.

When the troops were fighting, they put their gas masks on the ammunition storage points, or they simply loaded the gas masks lightly when they were moving. After all, in the impression of many grassroots commanders, that thing is no longer useful. It's still a burden to carry, and it's better to carry more ammunition with that physical strength, and you have to carry a punishment if you lose this thing.

After making this discovery, he secretly transferred all the troops and equipment of the 17th Division's anti-chemical battalion to the front line. At the same time, all troops are required to carry gas masks when they go to the front. That unit was unwilling to take it, and the military and political chief of that unit directly handed over the command.

To be on the safe side, he even went so far as he was busy thinking about tactical adjustments while personally checking the gas masks carried by each unit. Even the troops at the front, he ordered that at all costs, either you go to collect the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, or you come down and take them yourself. Within the required time, each person must have a gas mask.

Because in the two days he has been at the front, he has not seen the cadre and soldier with a gas mask on his body. It's carrying a gas mask bag, but it's either bullets or other items inside. Even a considerable part of the warriors' defensive mask bags have become glove bags.

Not only the soldiers, but even some cadres, even cadres at the battalion and regiment level, did not carry gas masks in accordance with the regulations, which made Yang Jicai very dissatisfied. The troops below could not consider, or did not see, the possibility of the Japanese army jumping over the wall in a hurry, and he, the first deputy division commander who actually presided over the military work of the whole division, could not but consider this issue.

When considering tactical adjustments after taking office, at private family gatherings, Yang Zhen's words have been coiled in Yang Jicai's mind. He clearly remembered the words of his eldest brother, once the battle fell into a stalemate on the battlefield, as a military commander, he must first calm down, and he could not be swayed simply by the pressure of his superiors and the casualties of his subordinates.

At the same time, in the adjustment of tactics, it is necessary to consider targeted adjustments. It is not only necessary to adjust infantry tactics, but also to consider the adjustment of fire support. When making adjustments, we should not only consider the first-line adjustment, but also consider the adjustment of the enemy's first, second, or even third-line attacks.

As a military commander, you need more than determination and courage on the battlefield. More often than not, it requires a cool head, a comprehensive view of the problem, and a cold heart when necessary. Because it is often the last five minutes, or even the last minute, that determines the outcome or fate.

If you are distressed by the excessive casualties of your troops, you choose to give up the final stage of gnashing your teeth at the last moment. Then you are not only wasting resources and time, but you are squandering more lives. Giving up at the last moment may require the lives and blood of the warriors to compensate.

Military men are not politicians, let alone philanthropists. At the moment of gritting your teeth, even if you have one soldier left, you must hold on to this last minute. The phrase "Ci is not in charge of the army" will never be outdated for a commander, especially a senior commander.

In ordinary life, you should care more about your subordinates, but when you are a commander on the battlefield, you must harden your heart. The more critical the moment, the more the heart cannot be soft. If you are soft, it means that the previous sacrifices and efforts will be in vain, and the cost of recovering them will often be even greater.

Another sentence that made him remember it particularly deeply was that Yang Zhen repeatedly admonished him. On the battlefield never underestimate the Japanese army, the madness and unscrupulousness of this army. Even if you are in a state of overwhelming strength, you must beware of the Japanese army at the most critical moment, giving you a jade to burn or say that you will be killed.

Although the eldest brother's words were only said to himself in private, Yang Jicai knew that this was the lesson that the eldest brother had summed up over the years, fought bloodily on the battlefield, and led this army from weak to strong today. Behind these lessons are countless blood and lives.

In the past few years, whether he has served in the headquarters or in the grassroots army, the things he has been in contact with have made Yang Jicai know how his eldest brother has come over the years. Being able to turn the entire northeast battlefield around in that situation, at the end of last year, it completely solved the Kwantung Army, the cancer planted by the Japanese on the body of the Chinese, and how much hardship and sweat the big brother paid.

Although Yang Jicai, who bears more of Guo Bingxun's brand, does not agree with some of the eldest brother's views, and even some unscrupulous practices in some aspects. Although those things that really involve confidentiality, Yang Jicai doesn't know much, and it can even be said that there are very few.

But Guo Bingxun deliberately honed under the training of multiple job transfers, Yang Jicai, who has developed a very keen sense of smell, can somewhat judge the sword and sword shadow behind these problems from many clues, as well as the undercurrent hidden under the calm surface without waves. Yang Jicai also had to admit that some things were a helpless move under special circumstances. So although he doesn't agree with some of the big brother's methods, Yang Jicai still remembers the words of the eldest brother very firmly.

Some of these words have been repeatedly emphasized by the eldest brother in the training class for senior cadres of the military region. But when these words were said to himself in private, Yang Jicai realized the different meanings. And there are some things that the eldest brother just talks to himself in private.

Because these words, which are actually clear to everyone on the battlefield, once they are openly revealed, especially from the mouth of the eldest brother, who is in charge of the family, it will set off a huge wave. Not only in the Anti-Japanese Federation, but also in the military textbooks of that country, it will not be said so bluntly.

Even the Japanese army, which has always treated soldiers only as consumables on the battlefield, did not say it so bluntly in their military textbooks. Although this is a truth that every soldier, especially a senior commander, understands. But you understand it privately and you understand it privately, and you can't say it so bluntly.

In his heart, Yang Jicai, who regards his eldest brother as an idol and teacher, has always kept his eldest brother's words firmly in his heart. The current changes in the Japanese army's carry-on equipment made him immediately feel vigilant. So even when he was thinking about it the most nervous, he did not forget to personally check the carrying of gas masks in the troops.

It's just that when everything is ready, everyone is looking forward to what big moves Yang Jicai will make. However, Yang Jicai only adopted a small-scale encroachment tactic on the front line, and with the cooperation of the readjusted firepower cover cluster, little by little like a pawn in chess, unhurried, relaxed, and arched forward step by step.

The cement he asked for was put into the gasoline drums and pushed by bulldozers, following the attacking troops. In some of the repeatedly contested lots, these concrete-filled gasoline drums, with the cooperation of bulldozers, provided an improvised fortification for the attacking troops in a short time. Yang Jicai has been repeatedly adopting this tactic for three consecutive days.

Although this method progressed slowly, after three days of offensive, everyone was stunned. In the original most difficult sections, some nails were more or less wedged into the Japanese positions. The best point even advanced directly to the foot of a core high ground of the Japanese army.

In the rear, the two battalions of troops that Yang Jicai drew from the reserve team also continued to practice repeatedly during the three days. In the new tactics, the two battalions are no longer attacking in a battalion-company formation. With the exception of one main attack company, the rest of the troops were formed in squads. And behind these two battalions, there is also the last battalion of the entire 17th Division reserve, which is also conducting secret drills in the rear.

Three days later, on the eighth day after Yang Jicai took over as the first deputy commander of the 17th Division, Yang Jicai transferred the two battalions to the front. However, instead of directly replacing the attacking units on the front line with these two battalions, he placed these two battalions in the second line of positions. At the same time, the artillery groups of the 17th Division also began to distribute incendiary bombs and smoke bombs in large quantities.

At the same time that the troops below were in full swing preparing to launch a new attack, Yang Jicai also convened the first battalion and regiment-level cadre meeting in the entire Tieyuan and Jinhua battlefields after his arrival at the division headquarters.

Everyone who attended the meeting was taken aback by his bold plan. The young guy in front of him actually gave up the fight for all the points on the periphery, and after the front-line troops reopened the breakthrough, his goal was to directly point to the line of Gaotai Mountain and Munhui-ri, the most core position group of the Japanese army on both sides of the Hantan River in the battlefield south of Cheorwon.

Facing the cadres with different expressions below after throwing out this plan, Yang Jicai did not explain anything. He is now deploying combat missions, not soliciting opinions from all sides. On military issues, as the current military commander, he should act arbitrarily when he should be arbitrary.

At the meeting, in addition to deploying the combat plan, Yang Jicai also repeatedly stressed the issue of anti-poison equipment carried by various units. In this matter, he has reached a tacit understanding with the old and serious division political commissar. If anyone thinks these things are bulky and unwilling to carry them, the division doesn't mind killing two chickens to show the monkeys.

In this matter, there is the support of the political commissar who is nominally acting as the division commander, and no one in the cadres below dares to play any tricks. Fortunately, the troops of the Anti-United Nations have done quite well under Yang Zhen's long-term **. After these cadres returned to their respective units, they were used as burdensome gas masks and dragged back to the forward positions from behind for urgent distribution.

However, some cadres who directly threw these materials in the country could only temporarily find the logistics department of the division and beg their grandfather to sue their grandmother, and deduct some of the trophies from the logistics department. Fortunately, Yang Jicai did not embarrass them, although he was not satisfied on the surface, but in fact, he had already told the logistics department to prepare. After all, this is not the time to pursue responsibility, and everything must be focused on the war.

After all the preparations were completed, Yang Jicai began a general attack on the whole line. Under the cover of artillery, the intended attack force changed its original tactics. For all sides of the Japanese front, except for a few high ground that had to be contested, the main target was the core high ground to which it belonged.
