Chapter 937 938 Ishii Troops
The Ishii troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army are called epidemic prevention troops to the outside world, but in fact, most of what they do is actually trying to make the other party's epidemic prevention troops anxious. Most of the soldiers in Ishii's unit, including Shiro Ishii, are high-tech criminal "talents" with high academic qualifications.
If there is such a large group of people, who have gone to school and put aside their good work for the benefit of mankind and do not go to work honestly, but gather together all day long to study how to use crooked ways to violate international law more efficiently, then for the whole world, this group of people is the legendary terrorists, and everyone will be punished.
It is a pity that Shiro Ishii, who was wounded by Accardo's own hands, is such a group of high-level intellectuals who are stupid at reading and studying all day long thinking about using the "atomic bomb of the poor" to expand the territory of the Japanese Empire -- once a scholar embarks on a crooked path, the destructive power will be greater than that of others, and this is a good example.
When Shiro Ishii ignored the dark wounds on his body, vomited blood and took medicine while still insisting on working, when Ishihara was preparing to attack the Soviet Union north and needed his troops, the killer of Unit 731 decided to go into battle in person, and a group of Japanese "scientists" witnessed and summarized his bacteriological chemical weapons with his own eyes, so as to obtain first-hand data and use them to develop better superweapons.
At a time when the world is focused on developing new weapons technologies and committing justified crimes with emerging nuclear weapons to circumvent international law. The Japanese, on the other hand, bet on winning the war with a single relentless crime, and then evading sanctions as the victors...... I have to say that from Hideki Tojo to Shiro Ishii, it is difficult to find another country like Japan, which has taken such an unusual path from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, from strategy to weapons research and development.
At the same time that Germany's General Quchreel ordered a change in the original pace of the attack and stormed Stalingrad at all costs, the Japanese Army's infantrymen, who were best at attacking fortified positions, were putting aggrieved gas masks on their heads.
An hour after General Ishihara gave the order to use Ishii's troops, Shiro Ishii finally arrived at his operational headquarters, as convoys carrying chemical weapons and ammunition were required to stay away from his troops and had a strict system of custody and transportation. It can be seen from this that hooligans are not terrible, but what is terrible is that hooligans have culture.
"Your Excellency General Ishihara, please be sure to retreat your headquarters back 3 kilometers. Shiro Ishii knew how terrible the weapons his troops were studying, so as soon as he entered the room, he asked Ishihara to move his headquarters backwards to avoid being accidentally injured by chemical weapons.
You must know that there are many departments in the entire 731 unit, in fact, Shiro Ishii is in charge and cares about the most, it is the bacteriological weapons department, but this kind of bacteriological weapons has no effect on offensive operations, after all, this weapon currently lacks the ability to destroy the enemy's will to resist in a short period of time.
Because it is difficult for the attacking troops to wait for a few months to swagger into the occupied area contaminated with bacteriological weapons, it is simply creating more trouble for their own people. Therefore, this time, Unit 731 did not use powerful bacteriological weapons, but chemical weapons that were effective and dissipated quickly.
This was the first time that the Japanese army had used a dangerous weapon that violated international law outside of the Chinese battlefield, and it was also a concrete manifestation of Ishihara's determination to give it a go after sensing the danger. This Ishihara is a genius and wise general who is good at considering the changes in the combat mission in his theater of operations in terms of the situation in Japan as a whole, and has the ability to judge the situation with great agility like a mouse on a ship.
He had recently received an internal report about the unfavorable situation of the Japanese army in Australia, and from this news from the army, Ishihara calmly judged the unfavorable situation of the Japanese Combined Fleet. Referring to the fact that the navy did not question the Japanese Army's northward movement, it is easy to know that the Japanese Navy's harvest in the Solomon Sea is not as amazing as the base camp advocates.
In Ishihara's view, if something goes wrong with the navy, then it should be up to the army to turn things around -- this has always been an old tradition on the part of the army, and even Ishihara is not exempt from it. Therefore, when Ishihara did not complete the intended goal according to his will, he did not hesitate to adopt the most urgent plan.
"Ishii-kun, we are His Majesty's courtiers, and we should be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!In this case, you asked me to move my headquarters backwards?" Ishihara smiled and pointed to the water cup on the table, signaling Ishii to drink water to quench his thirst: "This won't work, I understand the good intentions, but from the time I set out, I have already made up my mind that I will never take a step back." ”
"Your Excellency General Ishihara! A soldier like you is the pillar of the Great Japanese Empire, although the lower official is dull, he is willing to be a pioneer for you, Your Excellency the General!" Shiro Ishii was definitely a fanatical militarist, and when he heard Ishihara's reluctance to take a step back, a sickly flush welled up on his face.
In fact, the Japanese Army's main chemical weapons production base is located on Okunoshima, which is known as the "poison gas island," and the main development, maintenance, and use unit is the No. 516 professional chemical warfare unit. But because of a series of evolutions in this time and space, this 516 chemical unit has now become a neighbor of Unit 731 and is under the leadership of Shiro Ishii.
"Ishii-kun, how much are these chemical shells you brought affected by meteorological conditions? At least I want to know how far away from the front line can be called a safe zone once the wind direction changes?" Ishihara, as the supreme commander of the Japanese front-line troops, of course, wanted to understand some issues about the use of chemical weapons, and he asked Shiro Ishii while sitting in front of the map table with a glass of water.
Shiro Ishii immediately bent down and replied, "Your Excellency, the information returned from the battlefield of the Shina people shows that the range of action of this weapon varies greatly depending on the meteorological conditions. For unprotected troops, the lethality of these chemical weapons is very great, at least when we attack the Chinese army, we inflict incalculable losses on them. ”
"Whoosh!" Ishihara nodded, then shut his mouth. I don't know if it's because he personally doesn't have a good opinion about the use of chemical weapons, and I don't know why it's for any other reason. Anyway, he stopped talking, but fixed his eyes on the military map in front of him, so that people did not know what he was thinking again.
Shiro Ishii closed his mouth playfully, and sat there waiting for the scheduled general attack to arrive. For a moment, the entire forward command was lifeless, and everyone stopped talking to each other, as if they were locked in the throat by a ghost. Some staff officers waited around the two men with gas masks in their hands.
In order to encourage everyone to attack desperately, Ishihara did not retreat his headquarters a step, the purpose of which was to create such an enterprising atmosphere in front of him. If it is really time for the poison gas to be blown back by the wind, wear a gas mask as a necessary means of protection. Otherwise, if it loses its own supreme commander-in-chief, it will definitely be an unbearable loss for the Japanese army.
In the end, the Japanese shells that were half-silent still exploded on the Soviet positions, and the Japanese shells that soon surged with a small explosion were soon discovered because of the vigilance of the Soviets.
"Oh my God, the Japanese, the Japanese are using poison gas!" shouted a Soviet officer who saw the smoke of poison gas rising from the position, and began to rummage through the luggage pile behind him for the useless canvas bag with the gas mask.
"These damned Japanese are doing what they do!" said a Soviet veteran, donning his own gas mask, while attacking his enemies in the most vicious language. Just as he put on his gas mask and the deadly smoke began to attack his skin, the order to retreat was finally given.
Having dropped four or five hundred corpses, the Soviets abandoned their defensive positions, and the Japanese were able to continue their advance two hours after the gas attack, continuing their advance towards their goal. However, the Soviets did not give up their resistance, and behind this line of defense, there was a second and third line of defense waiting for these Japanese soldiers.
Kimura followed his troops through the first line of defense of the Soviet Union when he saw the corpses of the Soviet soldiers piled up in the trenches. The corpses were horrified, with a disgusting liquid flowing from the corners of their mouths, and even burns and decay on their bare skin. Kimura swallowed his saliva and continued to follow his troops, but his men subconsciously grabbed the gas mask he was carrying behind him - just a few hours ago, he had the heart to leave behind this seemingly cumbersome item. Now it seems that this equipment must not be discarded, it can at least save its own life in times of danger.
The effect of poison gas is much better than Ishihara's estimate, after all, the Japanese army has invested a large number of chemical weapons in China, and it is the first in the world to use it. With this strength as support, he can naturally achieve a more shocking effect, but he also seems to know that it seems impossible to rely on poison gas to raid again.
"Let the armored units in the reserve force go into battle! I will break through the last line of defense of the Soviets as soon as possible!" Ishihara said viciously, pressing his hand against the map in front of him.
