"Report to the regiment commander, our company commander asked me to report that the remnants of the Japanese puppet army have been driven out of the mountains by us. Because the Japanese army has troops stationed in the mountain pass, in order to alleviate the losses, the cavalry company has stopped chasing the enemy, and is now rushing back with the captured Imperial Army! As soon as the correspondent of the cavalry company rushed to Wang Ping, he reported excitedly.

Before Wang Ping could speak, the guards and even the communicator rushed over.

"Report to the regiment commander, the guard company, three battalions and one company, have eliminated the remaining Japanese puppet army in the Japanese puppet army station, and also captured a large number of imperial alliance troops. In addition, the artillery and heavy machine guns equipped by the devils, as well as a large amount of supplies brought, were all captured by us without taking them away in the barracks! ”

"Good! Well played! Little devils, this is called self-reaping the consequences. It's always been the devils who have used gas bombs against us, and today let them taste gas bombs! Wang Ping exclaimed with great joy, and his tense heart relaxed.

He ordered to a few staff officers around him: "The guard company, three battalions and one company, monitor the poison gas situation in the Japanese puppet army garrison at any time, and as long as the poison gas dissipates, clean up the battlefield immediately!" ”

"Cavalry company, reconnaissance company, search for remnants around the battlefield! By the way, take a good look at the Japanese puppet army that escaped, and report their movements at any time! ”

"Artillery, immediately transfer the artillery, and then draw out manpower, reinforce the guard company and the three battalions and one company at any time, clean up the battlefield, and take everything that can be taken away. After dawn, the devils will definitely send bombers to bomb here, especially dozens of mountain artillery and a few heavy artillery, they must find a way to tow them away, and they must not let the devils blow them up! ”

"Finally, send a telegram to the commissar to stop the transfer breakout. Dispatch all the soldiers in the regiment who can still move, and immediately rush here to clean up the battlefield, the devil has not much time left for us! ”

At the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, political commissar Cheng Xiaozheng frowned and commanded the troops to distribute supplies and prepare for a breakthrough for a while.

The chief of staff Zeng Quan was on the side to assist in commanding, and the brows of the two people never let go from beginning to end.

On the one hand, they are worried about the future of the independent regiment, and on the other hand, they are worried about the regiment commander Wang Ping, who is still on the front line.

At this moment, a voice full of excitement suddenly sounded at the door of the war room.

"Won, commissar, regiment commander won!"

Seeing the communications staff officer who rushed in with excitement, Cheng Xiao was stunned at first, and then reacted quickly.

"What is won, you will make it clear!"

"It's the regiment commander, and the regiment commander's raid on the Japanese puppet army garrison has been successful. The Japanese puppet army was heavily damaged, and the remnants had fled from the mountains. The regiment commander asked us to gather all the active fighters, quickly rush to the battlefield, and clean up the battlefield! The communications staff officer was very excited and stammered in his answer, but it did not affect Cheng Xiao's understanding.

"How did he do it!" This was a question that instantly arose in Cheng Xiao's mind.

However, Cheng Xiao did not hesitate for too long on this issue, and directly ordered: "Chief of Staff, notify all companies, bring all the active soldiers and the mules and horses that the regiment headquarters has been unified just now, and march to reinforce the regiment commander!" ”

"Tell everyone, the regiment commander has beaten the devil back, we won, there is no need to retreat!"

After speaking, Cheng Xiao was the first to rush out of the war room: "Go to the battlefield immediately!" ”

At this time, Nakamura Shaoza had already stopped, and he ran wildly for several hours in a row, directly tired and his face was red and out of breath.

After making sure that the cavalry chasing them behind him had completely stopped, Nakamura Shaoza directly ordered the troops to stop, gather the troops, and count the losses!

It didn't take long for a captain to come over with his head down.

"Sir, there are only more than 900 imperial troops rushing out with us, and there are more than 500 imperial alliance troops!"

"Nani? Nearly 5,000 soldiers lost more than 3,500 people in a few hours, how is this possible? Nakamura asked with a disbelieving expression.

The captain hurriedly replied: "In order to avoid the pursuit of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, many warriors have fled into the forest, and now there are still imperial troops coming out of the forest. If nothing else, there must be three or four hundred imperial troops in the forest! ”

"But the Imperial Allies were either killed by the Independent Regiment or taken prisoner on the battlefield!"

Nakamura's anger did not dissipate because of these few hundred people, staring at each other and scolding: "Even so, the imperial army has lost nearly a thousand people, and also lost all the artillery and baggage!" Such a big loss, how can you let me give an explanation to His Excellency the General! You know, yesterday afternoon I swore to the general that I would be able to kill the Independence Regiment at noon tomorrow at the latest and destroy them! ”

The captain officer also held back his anger and directly retorted: "Sir, I think that this is not our fault, no one thought that the independent regiment would have poison gas bombs, and dare to use poison gas bombs against us in violation of the Geneva Conventions. In this case, if you are any officer of the Imperial Army to command the battle, there will be no commander you do well! ”

Nakamura's anger disappeared at once, and his eyes lit up and he replied: "Yes, you are right, it is a poison gas bomb, and we have no responsibility!" ”

"The power of gas bombs is obvious to all, and no one can solve this problem. I immediately sent a telegram to His Excellency the General asking for operational guidance. Tubalu has a poisonous gas bomb in his hand, and for the safety of the warriors, he can't attack so unprepared! ”

At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Laiyuan City, Major General Ono was dreaming when the chief of staff suddenly broke in.

"Your Excellency General, something has happened!"

"Nakamura Shaosa was attacked by the night of the Tsuhachi Road and suffered heavy losses?"

"Impossible, Nakamura has nearly 5,000 troops in his hands, and the independent regiment is full of less than 1,000 people, and Nakamura can repel the attack of the independent regiment even if he is a fool! Chief of Staff, are you mistaken! Major General Ono, who squinted at his eyes, directly showed a look of disbelief.

The chief of staff didn't believe it at first, but after seeing the words "gas bomb", he believed it.

Since the invasion of China, no matter how powerful the opponents encountered by the imperial army, as long as poison gas bombs are used, the final victory will definitely belong to the imperial army, which shows how powerful the poison gas bombs are.

It can be said that in the face of poison gas bombs, if the imperial army is not prepared, it will also only have the fate of being slaughtered.

At that time, many of the Imperial Army, who were only concerned with evading the shelling, did not even wear military uniforms, let alone carry gas masks that they could not use in normal times.

Without any preparation, the Eighth Route Army used poison gas bombs to attack the station. If it weren't for the fact that the garrison was too large and the speed at which the poisonous gas spread was not very fast, it would have been possible for Nakamura and his thousands of men to be wiped out directly.

Thinking of this, the chief of staff with a solemn face immediately replied: "It's a gas bomb, and the independent regiment used a gas bomb." If it weren't for Nakamura's quick response, the more than 1,000 imperial troops who broke through with Nakamura would have been shattered on the battlefield! ”

"Gas bombs!" Major General Ono was stunned for a moment.

This kind of weapon exclusive to the imperial army was actually used by the backward independent regiment, and Ono's first reaction was still not convinced.

But the solemn expression on the chief of staff's face made him realize that it was true, and then his face turned pale.
