Chapter 5: Blood and Fire (20)

After dinner in the 172nd Division and returned to the 1056th Regiment, it was almost nine o'clock, although Zhang Guangwei was blindfolded, he still insisted on getting out of bed and having a drink with Li Benyi and Mo Di. Judging from his actions and emotions, his injuries were not serious, and Mo Di believed that the commanders at all levels came to visit one after another, and there were elements of comfort, but more because they wanted to see something new, after all, there were not many officers with the rank of general and division who were overturned by poison gas bombs.

Back at his station, Mo Di was surprised to find that Xu Ping and Gong Qingyuan had actually arrived! I rode for half a day and arrived in the middle of the night yesterday, and today is only half a day younger, and they actually arrived, and they really didn't grow scuds. After asking, I learned that Zhao Guolong was very smart, and after the telegram informed them to leave, he borrowed three American Dodge trucks from the military department, and for this purpose, he sent 50 yuan to the ocean. When the three cars met Xu Ping on the road, Xu Ping was overjoyed and boasted that the fifty oceans were worth it.

Before dinner, they arrived at the garrison of the 1056th Regiment, and He Degui, the commander of the third battalion who came first, had prepared a place for them to stay and a large amount of food. When he came to the big army, He Degui knew that he didn't have to worry about what he ate, the logistics department of the division would be uniformly deployed, as long as there was a list on the establishment, there would definitely be no shortage of your share, only Gong Qingyuan was a supernumerary, He Degui joked that he was hungry.

When Mo Di came back, a group of people were still waiting for him in Huang Tianhua's room, because Zhang Suhe came with a strong medical team, and the 1056 regiment infirmary became the best field hospital. There are professional doctors, professional nurses, a few women rescued from Nanqiao as nurses, and a large number of medical equipment and medicines, this infirmary is even more powerful than the hospital directly under the 176th Division, and the brigade commander Tan Heyi is also placed here to get the best medical treatment. In the evening, Tan Heyi woke up and knew that Mo Di had led his troops back, and the 526 Brigade had more than enough to protect itself, so he fainted with confidence. An hour ago, a special car was sent by the military department to send him to Wuhan. Before leaving, he woke up again and told Chief of Staff Li Desong that when he was away, the work of the 526 Brigade was in charge of Mo Di.

With the merger of the 526 Brigade Medical Office into the 1056 Regiment Infirmary, the wounded soldiers directly under the 1055 Regiment and the brigade headquarters were also transferred to the 1056 Regiment, and the 1056 Regiment has become a brigade headquarters that is not a brigade headquarters.

Mo Di told Zhang Guangwei about being injured by a poison gas bomb, and everyone except Gong Qingyuan was shocked, the gas bomb was a thing, but he had only heard of it, and he had never seen it, and it could hurt people invisibly, and he felt terrible when he thought about it.

As the director of intelligence, Gong Qingyuan is relatively familiar with this thing, and said: "Our intelligence system conducted a centralized training in May last year, that is, to study the Japanese army's poison gas bombs in a targeted manner. As early as 1927, the Japanese Army Scientific Research Institute proposed the establishment of poison gas service, and the Japanese War Department set up a chemical superintendent, which was served by Lieutenant General Machijiri Shiki. In order to carry out chemical warfare, the Japanese army set up field chemical test departments in each theater. In order to guide chemical warfare, before the Lugou Bridge Incident, two operational divisions in Northeast China and North China were also set up. After the fall of Nanjing, I lost contact with the intelligence services, and the situation after that is no longer clear. ”

Everyone looked at Gong Qingyuan with a blank eye, these things, the people of the Gui family did not understand, because the contradictions between Ning and Gui did not understand each other until after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and some of the preparations of the Military Commission of the National Government for Japanese aggression were carried out by avoiding the Gui system.

Gong Qingyuan went on to say: "The largest unit of the Japanese Army's combat formation is the Army Poison Gas Wing: about 3,000 people. Includes: poison gas mortar brigade (24 chemical pursuit guns); Poison blowing team F30 kg poison gas cylinder L20); poison projectile artillery brigade (160 mm gas projectile guns 24 pieces); Gas sapper brigade, etc. This is followed by the military field gas wing: about l000 people. Including: mortar brigade (36 Type 94 90mm mortars, 4230 rounds of poison shells, *l080 rounds); Poison Gas Squadron (2 Type 94 minelaying vehicles, 12 Venom Loading Vehicles, 2 Type 94 disinfection vehicles, 9 Transport Vehicles). Again, the divisional special gas brigade: 500 people. It includes three squadrons, namely, poison distribution, fire breathing, and disinfection, as well as logistics support and support detachments. Equipped with 96 light gas ejectors, 46 heavy gas ejectors, *140. And then there's the gas squadron: 165 people. 3 squads, 4 detachments per squad, 3 teams per detachment, 3 boxes of poison cartridges per team, a total of 2240 poison cartridges are equipped, and the front width of the cast is l800 meters. ”

Hearing that Gong Qingyuan was like a treasure, everyone showed a look of admiration.

"Don't look at me like that, I was training and studying, and these are all required to be memorized." Gong Qingyuan said with a wry smile: "The training instructor said that once this poison gas bomb is discovered, it must be investigated, and all of them must be collected and disposed of. I'm still good, I've read books for a few days, and I'm not afraid to memorize things, but the miserable ones are those who haven't read anything, and it's more painful to memorize these things than to take medicine. ”

The crowd laughed.

"The Japanese army's poison gas bombs used different colors as code names. The asphyxiating gas bomb is a blue agent, and the erosive gas bomb is a yellow agent. Irritating gas bombs are red agents. Tear gas bombs are green agents, nerve gas bombs are tea agents, and there are two kinds, not poison gas, but also with face *, black is *, white is *, and the difference is to paint a very clear color on one end. The poison gas bombs used by the Japanese in China mainly include the red No. 1 and the yellow No. 1, the red No. 1 is not very toxic, but it is very applicable, this kind of poison gas bombs can quickly make the unprotected soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, and the most important thing is that the effective time of the poison gas is short, usually it can be dissipated within dozens of minutes, which is very suitable for supporting the attack of the infantry, once the opponent is poisoned, you can charge the opponent's position after half an hour, and the opposing soldiers who are poisoned have only one way, that is, they can be slaughtered. Poison gas bombs can be bombs, thrown with artillery, or they can be agents, blown by poison trucks, poison devices, and airplanes, which are especially suitable for close combat. I estimate that the day before yesterday it was this red No. 1 poison gas that dealt with the 172nd Division. Huang No. 1 is also called mustard gas, which is highly toxic and has a long time of action, and the use of this poison gas, although it poisons the opponent, can not enter his own troops for a long time, but will restrict his own actions, so in addition to giving up this area, he will not use it easily. The general method of use is to use poison trucks to spread the positions to be abandoned, villages, or the roads that must be taken to retreat, forming a drug-infected zone several kilometers wide and lasting for more than ten days or even dozens of days, and the enemy will not be discovered immediately after entering the area, and a large number of casualties will be caused by the time they are discovered. Gong Qingyuan's words were very plain, but they completely shocked the others.

After a long time, I heard Xu Ping sigh: "Fuck, it's so fucking poisonous, I still feel when I hit Red No. 1, and I don't know how I died when I hit Yellow No. 1." ”

"So he had to be killed." Huang Tianhua gritted his teeth and said: "Playing against the Japanese, the Japanese on dog days, give us a break every once in a while, won't we be able to eat and walk around." ”

"That's right! We have to get rid of it, we add it up and come up with a plan. Tomorrow I will disguise myself as a Japanese ronin to see how the Japanese military camp is arranged, and strive to start tomorrow night, enter the Japanese defense area at night, and get rid of all his poison gas bombs. Mo Di said with a hideous face: "I don't believe that the Japanese can't kill the Japanese with gas bombs." ”

Gong Qingyuan looked at Mo Di in surprise: "It's not bad for you to look like a Japanese ronin like this, but as soon as you open your mouth, you will be exposed." ”

Mo Di laughed loudly, and burst out in Japanese: "Imperial samurai, let the horses come!" ——おとといきやがれ！ ”

After Gong Qingyuan was surprised, he said with a smile: "I really can't see it, I didn't expect that the group seat can be reached, but it is just a short line." ”

The outfit is ready-made, the Tokugawa family sword given to him by Li Benichi is stuck in the belt, a pair of slippers are sandwiched between the feet wearing thick socks, a top hat on the head, and a mustache is pasted under the nose, and the temperament of the Japanese ronin suddenly appears. A kimono wrapped around it, full of a Japanese boring ronin. Unless you finish stripping Mo's Enemy, you'll notice that he's wearing shorts instead of a crotch cloth on his baseplate. At first, he decided not to bring an entourage, no partner, and pretended to be a lonely traveler, and finally thought twice and asked Zhao Guolong to be a Chinese porter for him, responsible for the work of Senior Brother Sha.

First, let the two men take their luggage to the Jinpu Road not far from the garrison of the Ninth Division, where the horses and the receiving personnel waited and watched the two begin to walk along the railway to the Japanese garrison.

The station of the 9th Division is a village called Shimen, where the Jinpu Railway has a small station, which is the northernmost part of the current railway. Because of the more than a month of fighting, there is no Chinese in a radius of ten miles. March spring has arrived, and the fields are still desolate, except for the faint smoke rising from the barracks of the Japanese army, as if to say that there are still living people here.

On the tattered platform of the railway station, a Japanese man was standing guard with a gun, and when Mo Di saw this Japanese, he hurriedly ran over happily and said hello: "Great, I finally saw the imperial army, today, I finally don't have to eat the unpalatable pig food of the Chinese." ”

The Japanese on the platform also laughed and said, "Do the samurai still have any dietary requirements when they walk in all directions?" ”

Mo Di said with a smile: "I have been walking on the Yangtze River for half a year, and I have no requirements for food. But when I saw you, I felt a sense of homesickness, and I couldn't help but think of sushi, sashimi, miso soup, and tempura. ”

The Japanese also smiled: "I've been in China for more than half a year, and every day except for rice balls, bento boxes, tempura, can only be seen in dreams." ”

Soon, the two looked like they hated each other, and the Japanese soldier was called Chi Tian, a junior soldier, from Fukuoka. After chatting for a while, the next post came, and Mo Di followed Chi Tian, who was already an old friend, into the barracks.

The layout of the 9th Division was simple, lined up along both sides of the railway, with four wings living in the four corners of the railway, and in the middle were the divisional headquarters and the field artillery wing of the armored vehicle unit. In the lower reaches of the river, the only small camp that had no Chinese dwellings and was composed entirely of marching tents hung alone, Chi Tian and other soldiers said, don't go near there, that place, the air is filled with poisonous gas, Mo Dou smiled, did not ask carefully, he knew, that is the poison gas brigade of the Ninth Division.

In the canteen of the Japanese army, Mo Enemy ate a meal that was difficult to swallow, because the railway was destroyed, there was no non-staple food for two days, and they could only eat some simple dry goods, and the soldiers obviously had some dissatisfaction, because they heard the leaders of the gang say that tonight, they could not do without non-staple food, and even non-staple food could not be guaranteed, so they could only drink white porridge without anything.

Mo Di stayed in Chida's squadron for a long time, and pretended to learn sword skills with the sword master of this squadron, although he learned from the Japanese instructor the three-knife flow movement is not in its shape, but it is more than enough to fool these soldiers, and bragged that the Tokugawa family's sword was captured by their ancestors during a competition with the Tokugawa family's samurai, which made the soldiers greatly admired and admired. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, according to the behavior of the samurai, holding the sword, he bowed to the ground, did not look back, and left in style, leaving only a group of soldiers with envy in their eyes, wishing that he could also become a samurai in the next moment.

Mo Di returned to the place where he had dismounted before, and the soldiers who received him were already waiting in a state of confusion, and only when they saw that Mo Di could return safely did they show a smile. Turn over the horse and walk away.
