Chapter 31: Accidents

Mizuhara Yoshishige actually has a bit of military spirit. Originally, he didn't want to take Matsui Ishone's suggestion, thinking that it was not a man's doing, but after witnessing the strict appearance of the Cadet Army through the telescope, especially the kind of high-powered artillery that could move on its own, he began to realize the gap between himself and the Cadet Army. What he didn't expect was that the Cadet Army would come up with the idea of using "poison gas bombs" - in this time and space, tear gas bombs still belong to the category of poison gas bombs, at least most laymen think so.

After the idea of using tear gas to break the enemy was determined, after asking the relevant technical personnel of the Xuebing Research and Development Institute, a question was put in front of him - the Xuebing Research and Development Institute did produce a large number of tear gas canisters according to Ouyang Yun's requirements, and because the main ingredient used was Xies, it was very toxic, and if it was inhaled for a long time, it would seriously threaten life safety, and he suggested that it was best not to use this method, because once it caused a large number of deaths of the people who were held hostage, then the consequences would be unimaginable. Li Hansoul and others knew little about tear gas, and were startled when they heard the words, and then asked if there was a way to solve it. The technician said that there is a solution, that is, the tissue is left as soon as possible, and then the eyes and other exposed organs are rinsed with plenty of water.

After obtaining detailed information, considering the seriousness of the consequences, Li Hansoul did not dare to make a decision easily, and at this time, a staff officer of the army made a suggestion: If you want to let the coerced people transfer as soon as possible, it is actually not impossible, because there are still a large number of puppet army troops in Yingtan City, if some of them can be reversed, then they can be allowed to take this responsibility.

This is indeed the only realistic and feasible way under the current situation, Li Hansoul took the advice of this staff officer, and immediately contacted the people of the Fox Pupil Foreign Affairs Department to ask them if they could plot against the puppet army in Yingtan City.

The Foreign Affairs Department of Fox Tong more or less rebelled against some puppet troops as informants in the Japanese-occupied areas, and in the Yingtan puppet army, there was a deputy regiment commander who was rebelled. Half a day later, Zhang Xingjian, the head of the Fox Pupil Yingtan Group, spread the news that he had successfully rebelled against the two regiments, and they agreed to help transfer the people at that time, but put forward a request, they needed to provide sufficient gas masks from the student army, they were worried that they would not be able to act after being poisoned, so let alone help transfer the people, their own safety is a problem, how to help? After weighing it, Li Hansoul agreed to their conditions, and at the same time proposed to let them tie a white towel around their right arm to show their difference.

Successfully getting the help of some puppet troops in the city, then the next thing is relatively easy, and the only thing missing now is enough tear gas.

The efficiency of the logistics department of the Cadet Army is very fast, and the person in charge of this part is Huang Yongqin, the former director of the Dingzhou base. Huang Yongqin's ability to go from the chief of a base department to the head of the logistics headquarters of the Cadet Corps stems from his meticulous attitude towards his work. He divided the work of his department into very detailed sections, especially in the area of munitions, and divided them into a number of departments according to ammunition, mechanical support, medical care, and other items, and each department had a specific person in charge, and he was personally responsible for verifying the needs of the troops in front of him, and once verified, he immediately ordered the distribution.

The Cadet Corps Quartermaster Transport Department is divided into two parts, one consisting of veterans and belonging to the military establishment, and the other is contracted to engineering companies made up of disabled and veterans. Among them, there are five convoys belonging to the military, and the largest convoy has more than 200 trucks under its jurisdiction, which ensures the material application of the front-line troops.

A day later, Li Hansoul got the tear gas he needed, and when he saw boxes and boxes of tear gas canisters being moved down from the truck, everyone who knew what it was used for couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If you can really use tear gas in unlimited quantities, then the hard bone of Yingtan can be regarded as gnawing down.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Hansoul made a decision: "Launch a night raid battle!" If the light is not enough, it will take a lot of effort for the Japanese to coerce the common people! The time was set for 11 p.m. ”

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Mizuhara Yoshishige, who had been restless, inspected the forward position again, especially to check the common people who were used as human shields, and found that there were no problems with the human shields at each point, so he decided to go back and rest for a while.

The 9th Division, the 3rd Division, and the 13th Division were all moving towards Yingtan and Shangrao, and Okuichiro's golden cicada shelling plan was used beautifully, not only immediately solving the dilemma in southern Zhejiang, but also making the Japanese army take the initiative in the overall situation, which made Mizuhara Yoshishige see the opportunity. He knew that he only had three or four brigades of troops available now, but as long as it was firmly nailed to Yingtan, then it would be a dagger buried in the heart of the Cadet Army, and it could give a fatal blow at any time.

Learning from the frontline positions of the Second Army, Li Hansoul personally lectured the officers and soldiers who were equipped with grenade launchers on the guns that had been gathered. He gathered everyone into squads and put the locations of each squad in place, and then asked them to go to the spot and wait for the battle order to be issued.

In addition to these specialized tear gas shots, the snipers of various units were also grouped and arranged, and then there were the commandos. The task of the sniper is to find and eliminate firing points, fire points, and dead spots that may pose a threat to the commando team, as well as dead spots that are not affected by tear gas. The task of the commando team is to rush into the enemy's position, no matter what method is used, to completely destroy the Japanese army that is holding the common people.

At the end, Li Hansoul said: "Brothers, the people's soldiers are not screaming nonsense, and today is the time to verify our title." Whether our student army deserves this glorious title or not depends on you! So, you have a lot of work to do! I hope that everyone will show 12 points of courage and responsibility, and I hope that after this war, the Japanese will never dare to engage in similar indiscriminate methods! I repeat once again, this time in battle, we don't leave a living mouth, understand ?! ”

"Understood!"

At eleven o'clock in the evening, with Li Hansoul's order, three red signal flares were lifted into the air, and immediately, the shooters at each point began to fire tear gas intensively according to the terrain that they had inspected during the day, and just as the tear gas was issued, the commandos took action.

The Japanese fortifications in Yingtan were divided into two key points, one of which was in Tongjia Township and the other was in Xiabu Township. With these two points as the starting and ending points, the Japanese built a defensive line of about four kilometers. 3,000 devils and more than 5,000 puppet troops coerced nearly 10,000 people to defend a four-kilometer area, at least on the surface, it was more than enough.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this consideration that the Japanese began to relax a little after a few days and nights of nervousness, and even some devils were optimistic, as long as the Chinese civilians were firmly tied to their side, then the Chinese army would not dare to attack casually.

At eleven o'clock, except for the troops on duty, most of the devils fell asleep by the fortifications or trenches. When the three flares were raised, the guards on duty immediately fired the alarm. As soon as the gunshot rang out, Mizuhara Yoshishige, who was lying in his clothes, immediately jumped out of bed nervously and asked the staff officer standing at the door, "Did the people of Shina attack?" ”

Mizuhara Yoshishige lives in a private house in Xiabu Township, which is only a little more than 100 meters away from the front line, and can detect a slightly louder noise from the front line. When the grenade launcher fired tear gas, the sound was not violent, and the muffled sound of "bangbang" could not be heard. He walked out of the gate, but saw that there was no other light in the sky and earth except for a dozen searchlights shining back and forth on his position, and he was feeling strange, suddenly the telephone in the house rang, he went in to answer it, and the anxious and frightened voice of the captain of the 32nd Independent Brigade Kiyo Tanaka came from inside: "Your Excellency, the people of China have begun to attack, and the people of China have actually fired poison gas bombs!" ”

"What?" Mizuhara was shocked, then he picked up the phone and walked to the door, paying attention to the light of a nearby searchlight, and then looked back and forth, and sure enough, he saw the white mist rising, and his face immediately changed. "Let the soldiers hurry up and put on gas masks! Then retreat towards Tongjia Town. After putting aside the call, he immediately called the other two brigade headquarters, ordering them to immediately put on gas masks and retreat towards Xiabu Township.

As soon as the assault team was dispatched, the flares rose into the sky one after another, and when the magnesium powder in the flares began to burn violently and emitted dazzling light, Mizuhara Yoshihiro glanced left and right, and found that the frontline positions were covered in white smoke, and he couldn't help but scold indignantly: "The frenzied cadet army actually disregarded the safety of civilians!" Hmph, do they want to blame the Imperial Army for poison gas again? These despicable chinas! Pass my order, immediately get the puppet army to shout, tell the civilians of China, their army is starting to release poison gas bombs, let them, well, drive them to the opposite side! ”

"Hello!"

The commandos of the Second Army of the Second Army all wore gas masks and rushed to the enemy position, and the gunshots of "Da Da Da" and "Horn" rang out, and the devils began to counterattack, and some of the commandos fell to the ground, and at the same time, the snipers began to shoot. Soon, gunfire rang out along the entire four-kilometer-long front.

In the trench, the puppet army with a white towel tied to its arm quietly put on gas masks, and then they joined the other puppet soldiers who fled in panic.

"Brothers, don't run, our mission is to take these civilians! Brothers...... "Seeing this situation, Xia Gaole, the deputy commander of the puppet army, was anxious, he shouted loudly, and then shouted twice, and was knocked to the ground by several puppet soldiers, one of whom directly took off his gas mask and put it on himself, and then joined the fleeing team.

Most of the people who were held hostage fell asleep in the trenches and fortifications, and they were unprepared to inhale the poisonous fog of tear gas, and many of them immediately began to cry and cough violently, and soon some of them collapsed to the ground. They had never experienced this scene before, and they were so frightened, but at this time, the puppet soldiers around them began to shout: "The student soldiers are gassing, brothers, run!" And some devils wearing gas masks forced them with guns: "Eight grids, get out of the gang quickly." Want to stay alive? Then hurry up and run to the opposite side, and on the other side is your own army! Ha Lu Ha! ”

At first, some civilians were threatened to run towards the position of the Cadet Army, and many snipers and commandos saw this scene and did not know what to do. And when they were blocked by the common people, the devils began to retreat towards Tongjia Town and Xiabu Township - seeing this scene through the telescope, Li Han's soul was stunned.
