Episode 101 Rip-off

Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately rushed to the headquarters, he knew that this problem was absolutely serious. Now that the Japanese army is using poison gas on the Ming army in Andong City, regardless of the political impact, it is definitely absolutely timely militarily. This means that Anton, who has not been able to attack for a long time, is likely to be completely taken in a few hours to a day.

When he arrived at the high command, he found that the atmosphere on the side of the army was already tense. On the huge map of the Central Command Hall, Anton's place has been marked with a skull and two bones crossed, indicating that there is a chemical war here. And some of the small map shelves and map tables below have also been replaced with detailed maps of Dadonggou - Anton.

In the central radio of the hall, the voice of the announcer reverberated from time to time:

"The Type 3 special bomb has been shipped and is now on standby at Zhujiajian Airport...... The Type 3 special bomb has been loaded and is now on standby at Zhujiajian Airport......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang knows that the "Type 3 special bomb" is actually an obscure name for a certain poison gas bomb. Zhujiajian is a large island next to Zhoushan Island, this island has a flat area, suitable for building an airfield, and is the most important air base of the East China Sea Fleet. These gas bombs are not used at all in normal times, and they are all sealed in the warehouse and strictly preserved. These warehouses are located in extremely remote places, such as in the mountains far away from the people.

In addition to the army, the major fleet bases of the navy also have warehouses for poison gas bombs. The Navy's gas bomb warehouses are generally located on uninhabited islands. The East China Sea Fleet's gas bomb warehouse certainly cannot be on Zhujiajian. Zhujiajian is not only an important base, but also has towns and many fishing villages. The warehouse should be on a nearby desert island, and now it is temporarily transported to Zhujiajin Airport.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang came back relatively late, and the Japanese army used poison gas bombs at noon, and it was already night. He was now anxious to understand the situation, so he asked Xiuxiu to inquire about the navy, and then found Li Guoliang, the commander of the army aviation, and asked how the situation was.

Li Guoliang briefly told him about the situation. What is now known is that the Japanese army fired dozens of poison gas bombs into the Ming-controlled area of Andong City. According to the telegram from the headquarters of the 66th Division in the city, they judged that it was obviously mustard gas. Although mustard poison gas is not the most toxic, it is the most used in war, belonging to a traditional military poison gas, the effect is obvious, the price is low, it was used in large quantities during the First World War, known as the "king of poison gas". Mustard poison gas belongs to the erosive type of poison gas, which mainly invades the body through the skin and respiratory tract, and has an erosive and stimulating effect on the skin and mucous membranes. It can cause skin burns, redness, swelling, blisters, ulceration, inflammation and necrosis of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, violent coughing and thick phlegm, and even obstruction of breathing, and conjunctivitis of the eyes, resulting in redness, swelling and even blindness. Moreover, there is no specific medicine for mustard gas.

Of course, the Ming army had gas masks, which were the standard for Ming soldiers. Now gas masks have also played a big role, and at the moment there are no deaths in Anton Ming's army. However, because mustard gas is erosive poisonous gas, it not only damages the respiratory system, but also burns the skin. Gas masks can only prevent poisonous gases from being inhaled into the respiratory system, protecting the face and eyes, but the rest of the body can only be exposed to poisonous gases. And now it is summer, the officers and soldiers are also wearing thin summer clothes and no gloves, and many people's skin has been burned.

This afternoon, the Dongjiang Fleet has twice airdropped chemical protective suits to the Ming troops in the city. Judging from the current situation, the overall situation of Anton Ming's army is not too bad, and most of the officers and soldiers have put on overall anti-chemical uniforms and are still insisting on fighting. After several rounds of gas bombs, the Japanese stopped using poison gas two hours ago. It is estimated that I felt that I did not receive the expected effect, and the poison gas was not accurate, and it was easy to accidentally injure myself according to the change in wind direction.

Now the Ming army is ready to counterattack, and some of the poison gas bombs in the Dongjiang fleet have been taken out and loaded onto the planes, and they are now waiting in the hangar. The East China Sea Fleet's gas bombs have now just been loaded onto planes and are also on standby in the hangar. But it's been a few hours now, the order has not yet come down, and it is already dark, and the plane cannot take off.

Xiang Xiaoqiang frowned and said:

"Can't you bomb at night?"

Li Guoliang sighed:

"This is a poison gas bomb, and even if it is approved for use, it must not be injured by mistake. It doesn't matter if the ordinary bomb still doesn't reach the target, at most it will blow up a few craters in the farmland next to it. This gas bomb is no joke. Once it is still deflected, a single bomb can kill half the civilians of the village...... Now the fighting is still going on on the soil of our country, and there must not be a single mistake. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang sneered and said angrily:

"I dare say that this is one of the reasons why the Japanese dare to use poison gas bombs."

"Your Excellency is right!" Li Guoliang also shook his head and said, "They are sure that the current war is being fought in our territory, and they don't have much scruples about using poison gas, but we have a lot of scruples when we use it, or we don't dare to use it at all." What is even more infuriating is that now the Japanese simply do not admit that they used poison gas bombs. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned:

"Don't admit it? Why don't you admit it? ”

"This afternoon, we have filed a complaint at the League of Nations. The representative of Japan did not admit it at all, saying that they had never used it, and asked us to come up with evidence. , how are we going to take it? Now Anton has so many people, and there are no investigators of the League of Nations, no observers from third countries, not even a single reporter accompanying the army. Even if there is a reporter, it is useless, and you can't send out photos after taking them. Now we can airdrop things inside, but if we want to send something out, it's impossible. Little Japan also saw this, and they planned to use poison gas to quickly capture it, and after the capture, those prisoners of war would either be locked up or killed, and there was no proof of death. …… The point is that there is one more ......"

Li Guoliang lowered his voice when he said this:

"The Japanese also beat the League of Nations and brought out the shelling of Hakodate by our fleet. It is said that after the Zhengde detachment shelled the port, didn't it also shell the city? The Japanese say they killed and wounded a large number of civilians, saying that they are thousands ......"

"!" Xiang Xiaoqiang was angry in his chest, but he also lowered his voice and said, "There have been a few rounds in total, and it's great to kill more than a hundred, and there are thousands of them...... The original shelling of Batavia killed only 180 natives...... Does he live in canned sardines in little Japan? ”

Li Guoliang also sneered:

"The hell knows that there must not be so many. But whoever puts this matter on it, everyone has to say more, so that it seems reasonable. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed irritably. He knew that if chemical warfare retaliation was approved, then the first to bear the brunt would definitely be the Navy and the Army Airlines. He asked in a low voice:

"Why, haven't you approved the retaliation yet?"

Li Guoliang shook his head:

"Nope. The use of biochemical warfare, which involves the political level, requires the approval of the first and auxiliary ministers in person. They're still working on it. ”

At this time, Xiuxiu came over from the navy. She reported the situation to Xiaoqiang, and it was roughly the same as what Li Guoliang introduced. However, she said it in more detail.

"On the side of the General Staff of the Navy, I am not very in favor of hasty chemical warfare retaliation," Xiuxiu said, "Lord Xiong said that the Japanese used poison gas bombs in Andong because it was really necessary for military purposes. They were able to capture Anton faster with the use of poison gas bombs, and they were able to do so without proof. So we obviously can't use poison gas for the sake of using poison gas. The use of poison gas is a matter of a thousand people, and unless there is an absolute practical advantage, by military necessity, it is not worth it to use poison gas simply for the sake of revenge. Lord Xiong said that in the Mukden battlefield, poison gas must not be released. Those are our people. Even in North Korea, we have to use it for military targets. However, since it is possible to throw poison gas bombs over the Japanese military camp in Korea, it is better to throw bombs and incendiary bombs. More lethal than mustard gas, and not so condemned. ”
