Chapter 175: Little Rascal
"Gas bombs?"
"What you say is true?"
Luo Zhuoying, as well as Chen Cheng, who was sitting on top of him, asked almost at the same time. If hundreds of heavy artillery pieces and more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles were still within the psychological range that they could barely accept, then tens of thousands of poison gas bombs did not appear in their imagination at all. Although, the Japanese did not fail to use this weapon in previous major battles, but instinctively, before the start of each battle, they ignored this kind of thing. And now, Zheng Jiemin told them that Okamura Ninji not only needs to use it, but also the quantity is very huge...... How can this be fought? Let their soldiers rush barehead and face the poisonous gas? But even if they did that, those soldiers were still sent to death in vain.
"Then how do you fight?" Luo Zhuoying muttered blankly, but suddenly, he looked up at Zheng Jiemin again: "Director Zheng, since you know the news, you must also know where Okamura Ningji put these poison gas bombs, right?" ”
"Zhilu Dao." Zheng Jiemin nodded, "The military commander has already found out where the enemy's poison gas bombs are stored. But it's a pity that Okamura Ninji has placed heavy troops around us, and we don't know where to start. ”
"What about the Air Force?" Luo Zhuoying turned her gaze to Zhou Zhirou again.
"The Air Force is preparing weapons." Zhou Zhirou was a little embarrassed, "Chief He has already given us an order that we must destroy all Okamura Ningji's heavy artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and poison gas bombs before the battle. But now we are seriously underarmed! If it was reluctant, at most it would destroy his heavy artillery and armored units, but the gas bombs would not even dare to touch it. ”
"I don't ask you to touch those gas bombs, I will go to the chairman of the committee and ask the military committee to urgently collect a batch ......of gas masks," Chen Cheng said.
"If you are looking for a gas mask, you might as well find the Air Force." He Yingqin sighed. "There were already few gas masks in the country, and we didn't expect Okamura Ninji to use poison gas in advance, so it was too late. But Okamura Ningji waited left and right, and his plan to attack Nanchang had been delayed for more than two months, and now we have blown up most of their air force in Wuhan and killed Sugiyama Moto, even if the 11th Army can wait, Nishio Shouzo can't afford to wait. Their offensive will certainly not be able to wait for two days. ”
"And Okamura Ninji also thought for a long time that our air force might bomb his heavy artillery and armored units, so he arranged a large number of anti-aircraft guns around the stations of these two forces. If the Air Force is dispatched, it must be prepared to take the losses. Zheng Jiemin also said.
"What then? Isn't this inexplicable? Luo Zhuoying shouted.
"In fact, the Air Force has helped us clear the threat from the air. This has helped us a lot. Guo Rugui, who had been sitting behind He Yingqin's side, suddenly spoke.
"I know this." Chen Cheng sighed. Luo Zhuoying is his old friend, and Guo Rugui is also the chief of the operations department he pushed all the way up, and both of them have a close relationship with him. But the problem is that although the Ninth Theater is now led by Xue Yue, he is the actual commander of the theater. Xue Yue was nothing more than his agent. And the problem is here, although Xue Yue is only the acting commander. But he is a veteran of the Kuomintang. The acting commander is actually no different from the formal one. Even if he makes meritorious contributions, it is impossible for people to share a little bit of him. Only Luo Zhuoying's right wing is the only one he can count on. But now Okamura Ningji is eyeing the tiger and his fangs are exposed, but Luo Zhuoying's side is in trouble everywhere.
"If it really can't be done, the only way to avoid the frontal enemy is to strike at the Japanese from the flank." Luo Zhuoying sighed. Able to know in advance the attack method of the enemy army. It is indeed an advantage for the defenders. But the strength that Okamura Ninji showed this time really made people sound a little terrifying...... Especially poison gas bombs, which can be much more ruthless on the battlefield than heavy artillery and tanks.
"Why don't we invite foreign journalists to the battlefield?" Feng Yizhong, deputy director of the Military Command Department, who was still sitting behind Zheng Jiemin, suddenly said: "The use of poison gas bombs is prohibited internationally, and I remember that the "Geneva International Convention" explicitly prohibited it. In this way, the Japanese violated international regulations. Once it is preached, it ......"
"Cough, cough......" Qin Wei interrupted this guy very inauthenticly, he had already inquired about the name of this old man from Zhou Zhirou: "Vice Chief Feng, this ...... How much do you think international conventions can bind Japan? ”
"You can always make a difference, right?" Feng Yizhong replied, "It's really not possible, we can invite the International Military Observer Corps." I don't believe it, he Okamura Ningji dares to risk the world's disapproval! ”
"Senior," Qin Wei squinted, "When Italy invaded Ethiopia, it used mustard gas and phosgene gas with the air force, which are also two kinds of poison gas. As a result, in January ~ April of 1936 alone, Ethiopia suffered 15,000 poisoning casualties, accounting for 1/3 of the combat casualties. But do you see that the international community is in charge? ”
"Japan is not Italy." Feng Yizhong frowned.
"Japan is much stronger than Italy." Qin Wei said with a smile.
"What?" Feng Yizhong was stunned, "You say that Japan is stronger than Italy? ”
"It's not strong, it's much stronger!" Qin Wei emphasized: "I can assure you that if the Japanese and the Italians meet each other, with the same strength, not counting the equipment, the Italians may not be able to stop the Japanese for a day!" I'm not kidding. It's like the Germans' definition of an ideal war: with German weapons, the USSR provides winter equipment, Britain provides summer equipment, the United States takes care of the food, France provides entertainment, the Finns cover the flanks, and the enemy in front is the Italians...... Italians, in fact, are very stubborn. ”
"I don't care what you make this judgment based on, Chief of Staff Qin, I don't want to pay attention to the question of whether Japan is strong or Italy is strong, I just want to know now, what to do with those poison gas bombs?" Chen Cheng looked at Qin Wei unhappily, "We can't let our soldiers fight against poison gas, right?" That's simply sending people to death. ”
"Give me half a month, as long as you can drag Okamura Ninji for half a month before launching an attack, our air force will have the ability to destroy the enemy's gas bomb warehouse!" Qin Wei replied.
"Half a month?" Guo Rugui frowned, "If it's normal, there are still some possibilities." But now that the Air Force has just killed Sugiyama Moto, Okamura Ninji must be in a hurry to take revenge, why did it drag on for half a month? ”
"Even if Okamura Ninji wants to drag, Nishio Shouzo will force him to attack. Sugiyama Gen died too unproductively, and the Japanese couldn't afford to lose this face. Chen Cheng said.
"Then I can't help it." Qin Wei spread his hands, "It's not that we don't want to help. The problem is, we can't just throw a bomb and detonate those gas bombs...... Okamura Ninji set up a poison gas bomb warehouse on the edge of Wuhu City. Tens of thousands of poison gas bombs and gas cartridges, once exploded, half of Wuhu would die, and the remaining half would all be sick and slowly die again. ”
"He's M, if only we had poison gas bombs." Luo Zhuoying scolded suddenly.
"We don't have gas bombs, but we still have a bit of a chemical weapon." Qin Wei said.
"'Soil' chemistry?" Everyone was stunned again. They are all high-level, so naturally they have heard of Qin Wei, and they have also heard that this kid has a lot of ideas, but this chemical weapon is not simple...... Can you also use "earth"?
"The Air Force has just ordered fifty tons of chili noodles and forty tons of pepper recently," Zhou Zhirou was a little embarrassed, "According to Chief of Staff Qin, it is to mix these things and mix them into the bomb......"
"Actually, the best way to do it is to leave it to the army and have the soldiers throw these things out of the army with grenades and unconscionable cannons, or mortars. It's more accurate and lethal. Qin Wei ignored everyone's astonishment, "Of course, things like chili flour and pepper are still too expensive, in fact, I think the best thing is lime powder, but this thing is white, and it can't be shaped like smoke of various colors similar to chemical weapons, and its deterrent effect is limited." ”
“……”
Rogue fights! And a little rascal!
He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and the others stared at Qin Wei very unkindly...... With this kind of thing in the national war, what did this kid do with their dignified National Revolutionary Army? By the way, the "conscienceless cannon" seems to have been invented by this kid. A broken gasoline drum is basically all work, and the Japanese were blown up enough to choke on it, and they suffered a big loss from this cheap cannon, but the dead ducks had a hard mouth, and kept mocking them as "calling Huazi...... Now this kid is actually going to engage in some "earth" chemical weapons, he is afraid that the National Revolutionary Army will not be able to get rid of the name of "called the Chemical Army", what's the matter?
"Great idea! The two armies are at war and do everything they can. Since our national strength is inferior to Japan's, and we have not been able to develop poison gas bombs that can be relatively resisted for the time being, it is still feasible to use a little negative method. Since Qin Wei thinks that it is better to hand over these things to the army, then simply send them to the Ninth War Zone quickly, so as not to miss the battle. Opposite He Yingqin, Bai Zhenxi had not spoken, but at this time, he suddenly resolutely supported Qin Wei. And when they heard his words, He Yingqin was nothing, but Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying felt like 10,000 grass and mud horses flying by...... Your surname is white, don't be afraid that others will call you "called the Son Army", and don't harm us. Anyway, when you Gui was in the Northern Expedition, you had already put the hat of "Calling the Son Army" on your head, and you are not afraid to wear it again. Oh, by the way, the Gui army is basically gone, and there is still the Sichuan army, the Sichuan army is our second "Huazi army" in China, and it is delicious and spicy and spicy, and it is also appropriate to support a few catties of chili noodles and pepper to improve the food in the past.
"That Wang Lingji seems to be still in Jiangxi, if this surnamed Qin really transports things, he will be sent directly to his troops." Luo Zhuoying really couldn't afford to lose that person, thinking that the "Wang Lingguan" in the Five Elements of the Sichuan Army was still in his own war zone, he simply made a decision secretly. As for whether the troops in Wang Lingji's hands were still not the original Sichuan army, he couldn't care about it. Anyway, he can't make people point their noses at him later and say that he fights like a little hooligan.
"Actually, if you want to deal with Okamura Ninji's poison gas bomb, there should be another way." Zhou Zhirou said suddenly. (To be continued......)
