Lieutenant General Maeda, commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army, was happy at this time! In his opinion, it was the bravery of his subordinates who fought well, so he forced the Chinese army to retreat.

Yang Feng argued with the British there, gave the Japanese army enough time to prepare, and with the help of the mobilized monkeys, a series of defensive lines had been built on the Sino-Burmese border, and the dense jungle here offset the firepower advantage to the greatest extent, Lieutenant General Maeda felt that it was still very easy to resist the Chinese expeditionary force outside Burma with such good conditions, and when India was defeated, he could swing his army to Yunnan, and then go straight to Chongqing, China's rear.

In a happy mood, he could not wait to send the good news to the commander of the Burma Front in Mandalay, General Shunroku Hatata, and at the same time did not forget to show off to Lieutenant General Tanaka, the commander of the 41st Division, who was rushing from Mandalay for reinforcements.

But at this moment, the sky suddenly collapsed, and his impregnable defense line completely collapsed.

"What's going on, what the hell happened, didn't the enemy retreat?" He angrily grabbed the collar of Shao Zuo, who had come to report the news, and roared angrily.

"Poison, poison gas, zhina people used poison gas." Shao Zuo said tremblingly.

"Why is there no report from the front?" Lieutenant General Maeda was stunned for a moment and then shouted.

"This is a new type of poison gas, the lethal rate is very fast, the front-line soldiers have no time to react at all, Your Excellency the division commander, don't discuss this issue now, the Chinese army is only two kilometers away from here at most." Shao Zuo froze for a moment and said hurriedly.

"Despicable, shameless. This is a trampling on the Hague International Convention!" Lieutenant General Maeda's howl of grief and indignation rang out from the headquarters.

At this time, Huang Guanghua, the deputy commander of the 32nd Army, who was wearing a polyethylene protective suit and a gas mask on his face, was proudly looking at the Japanese army position full of corpses in front of him, he didn't expect this thing to work so well, 500 mortar shells smashed over, and the entire division of the Japanese army collapsed like this, and there was at least one brigade of corpses on the position in front of him alone, all the dead bodies were foaming at the mouth, and some of them were still convulsing.

"Ma, I'll have to play with this thing in the future." Deputy Army Commander Huang said to himself, and a staff officer next to him shouted, "Deputy Army Commander." What are you talking about?"

"I said I'd use this thing more in the future!" Huang Guanghua shouted. It's hard to communicate without shouting with a gas mask.

"Deputy Commander, poison gas can scare people, but if it is really used in every battle, it will not be a good thing. Let's use it. Japanese people can also use it. It was like gassing each other in World War I, and the Hague Convention also forbade the use of this thing in war, even though it was just a meaning. But using too much is not good for our reputation after all. The staff officer, who had returned from studying in the United States, said loudly.

However, he guessed this wrongly, and when the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southern Army, Senior General Yamasugimoto, almost tearfully complained in Singapore that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had used a cruel new type of poison gas on a large scale in the Battle of Lashio, resulting in the tragic death of 5,000 members of the Imperial Japanese Army on the spot, he was booed by reporters from all countries except Japan and their allies.

You have just finished the big tusha in Saigon, and now the Chinese smoke you with poison gas, then you deserve it, to say that this is still light!

Tomorrow's newspaper even glorified this as a righteous act by the Chinese Expeditionary Force to avenge the unjust souls of tens of thousands of innocent people who died in Saigon, and also called on the European and American people to petition the Expeditionary Force to ask the Expeditionary Force not to stop the gas war until 50,000 Japanese troops were killed.

In addition, tomorrow's daily newspaper also specially interviewed the US consul in Saigon on a full-page interview, and then used very graphic language to describe how more than a dozen Japanese soldiers killed the wife of the French Indian governor in Roulin on the street.

Of course, the Japanese will not be willing to be gassed like this, Shan Shanyuan immediately publicly announced that he would use gas bombs to retaliate against the expeditionary force, but even if he retaliates, he will have to talk about it later, the battlefield is not optimistic, after the defeat of Lashio and Bamo, the expeditionary force opened a gap in the first line of defense of the Japanese army, and then the 200,000 army divided into two roads, Wei Lihuang's first army went straight to Mizhina, Yingduo, Shang Zhen's second army killed Mandalay, and the 41st Division that reinforced Lashio encountered halfway, There was a slightly chaotic confrontation between the two sides in Pupu, the outnumbered Japanese army retreated in a hurry, and the situation in Burma was immediately reversed, and the three Japanese divisions that were attacking Imphal immediately returned to help, and at the same time, the three Japanese divisions that were sweeping the few remaining French strongholds in Laos and Khmer handed over the follow-up work to the monkeys and urgently reinforced Burma through Siam.

However, at this time, the expeditionary force suddenly flicked a shot, turned around and went straight south to Menglan, and then the Second Army divided its troops into two routes, the main force continued to threaten Mandalay, and the 58th Army of Sun Du went east to Jingdong.

The Third and Fourteenth Armies surrounded the Japanese 108th Division in Myitkyina, and the Japanese troops who returned from Imphal were blocked by Li Jiayu in Yingduo.

The situation in India, which was already in danger, immediately improved, and the British troops stationed in India could finally take a breath, and for a time the major British newspapers and radio stations were about to boast about the expeditionary force.

What they don't know, though, is that the expeditionary force won't go one step further.

"That's fine, urge Wei Lihuang to quickly pack up the 108th Division, and then we will hold the strongholds of Mizhina, Yingduo, Pubu, and Menglan, and drive the Japanese army far away from our national border, and then turn to the defense to watch the excitement there." Boss Yang, who flew to Yunnan in person, looked at the map and said with satisfaction.

"Wei Lihuang is afraid that it is very difficult there, the 108th Division is also considered elite in the Japanese army, he only has two armies in his hands, and it is not easy to swallow it." Zhu Peide said that he, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, was going to set up his headquarters in Nankan, and now the airport was being repaired there, so he had not yet passed.

"If it doesn't work, I'll send bombers over to provide him with some air support." Yang Feng said that he had transferred a brigade of twin demons to Kunming to be responsible for air cover on the battlefield in Burma, and that after the airport in Nankan was completed, this brigade would be moved to Nankan.

"That's fine!" Zhu Peide said, of course he welcomes it, there are those liberator bombers, it is estimated that the 108th Division can be wiped out by bombing alone, but before that, it is good to let the twin demons hang up the bombs and blow them up first, after getting Yang Feng's order, the twenty twin demons stationed in Kunming immediately took off, ten hung napalm, and ten were responsible for escorting and flying towards Mizhina.

The fighters of the Japanese Army Aviation in Burma, after the appearance of the twin demons, basically did not have the courage to fight, and those 97-type land battles had a psychological shadow on this kind of fighter planes that could be said to have their nightmares, and from the beginning of the expeditionary force's entry into Burma, this sky was the territory of the twin demons.

After the 20 planes flew to Myitkyina, they first took napalm to Roulin the Japanese troops who were fighting hard with Wei Lihuang, and then strafed them with machine guns for a while, and then they were ready to return with great force, but at this time, the radar set up in Nankan suddenly discovered that 20 Japanese planes were approaching.

After getting the news from the radio, the captain of the team, Prince He, casually cursed: "Madamn, these little Japan still dare to come to seek death."

Scolding and scolding, you can't let go of those who come to deliver food to yourself.

"Climb, wait at a height of seven thousand meters, all of them are neat, we don't have many bullets!" He then ordered.

Twenty twin demons immediately put on a standard ambush posture, this kind of large fighter planes against the Japanese planes in air combat is extremely simple, that is, high-altitude skimming, there is radar early warning, there is an altitude advantage, why do you still run down and work hard to play stunts with them?

Just as the twin demon planes had just climbed to the ambush height, a Japanese army group appeared below.

"What kind of plane is this?" One of the pilots immediately exclaimed, what he didn't know was that it was the main opponent after the twin demons, and it was the Zero Battle of twenty planes that took off from the aircraft carrier Akagi.

"It doesn't matter what kind of plane he is, let's fight one by one at the current altitude." After Wang Zihe finished speaking, he quickly assigned tasks to each plane, and then aimed at a Zero Battle and dived down directly.

The sudden appearance of the enemy immediately caused the Japanese aircraft group below to be chaotic, and one after another Zero Combat quickly played maneuvering, trying to dodge the enemy who pounced at a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour, and the prince and the one aiming at it flew to one side to the other side in a very dashing manner, and a series of large-caliber bullets flew past his belly.

"The response was pretty fast." A miss made the prince and vigilant, it is obvious that this new aircraft is more flexible than the ninety-seven type, you must know that he has never missed the ninety-seven type before, of course, this is not a big deal, it is nothing more than to turn around and do it again, he does not believe that this kind of plane can fly more than 10,000 meters.

The twin demon did not hesitate at all and then pulled up and climbed, the zero battle below was also trying to climb, and the climbing speed was not weaker than the twin demon, and even seemed to be faster, seeing this scene The prince did not hesitate to turn around and break away, but he knew very well what would happen once he was pressed and beaten by the other party.

However, the other party's reaction was not slow, he also turned around and bit him, a series of bullets hit, Wang Zihe even saw that there were two more bullet holes on his right wing, but this was not a big deal for the thick-skinned double demon, and at this time, the high-speed advantage of more than 600 kilometers was immediately displayed, and the Japanese plane behind was quickly thrown away.

At this time, Wang Zihe found that the situation of his subordinates was not very good, although four enemy planes were shot down in the first round of dive, but this number was far less than he expected, and in the next air battle, it was okay to disengage at high speed like himself, those who wanted to fight with the Japanese army were obviously in trouble, and he had already watched one of the twin demons fall to the ground with a body of fireworks.

This was the first plane to be shot down in an air battle.

The other two planes had obviously suffered a big loss in the dogfight, and with smoke on their bodies, they were accelerating north away from the battlefield. (To be continued......)
