Chapter 868: Self-inflicted!
Feng Yi asked Wang Ning to give up all the highlands and stick to Pagoda Mountain; He wasn't worried that Wang Ning wouldn't be able to hold it, he wanted to relieve Wang Ning of a little pressure and let go of the east, maybe the devil's offensive direction would turn to Tangji.
Tangji has two-pounder guns and mortars, as well as reserves, and the devils want to take it, it's not that simple.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw......"
"The explosives are connected together, get more mixed mines, and they must blow up ......"
On the two heights to the east, the defenders, who had suffered more than a third of the casualties, were urgently retreating with their wounded brethren and weapons and ammunition, and as for the fallen brethren, they were too late, and after a hurried farewell, they retreated towards the pagoda hill.
"Put!"
"Knock, knock, knock......"
Several of the devil's 90 mortars made a fart sound, and the shells crossed the field and landed on the two heights to the east.
"Poof......
There was no explosion, the shells that landed stuck in the floating earth, emitting gas to the high ground, and gradually, the entire position was covered in smoke of strange colors.
"Strange, how could the mountain fog in Myanmar be so early?"
Wang Ning held the binoculars, the sun had not yet set, and it stands to reason that there should be no fog now.
"Battalion commander, did you do it by a devil? Good cover for their attack? ”
A company commander beside him hesitated to say this possibility, in his heart, all the strange phenomena must be inseparable from the devil.
"The devil has gassed me, give me the head of the regiment."
Wang Ning sighed at his luck, if the brothers were still on the high ground, under the poisonous gas, I am afraid that the whole army would really be wiped out.
"Commander, the devils have gassed, there are no gas masks on those two heights, I want to withdraw them."
Wang Ning reported the situation on the phone.
"Yes, Zhang Chuan's position in the east is ready, if the devil besieges Pagoda Mountain on all sides, Zhang Chuan will support you."
Feng Yi nodded.
"Look at it, the devils are starting to release poison gas, send out all the gas masks, the machine gun team must have one, hurry up!"
Feng Yi frowned, and gave an order to the defenders on several positions on the phone, and what he said was to let the gas masks stay by the brothers' side, and if there was an abnormality, they could be used immediately.
Similarly, gas masks were also distributed at this time on Pagoda Mountain, but gas masks were not enough after all, and not every brother could get them.
"Remember, once the devil releases poison gas, all those who don't have masks retreat backwards, and retreat towards the upwind position......"
The platoon commander gave an explanation to the masked brothers while handing out things.
"Up!"
But a squadron of devils had that thing, and the devils of a squadron were divided into two parts, bent over, and they were both carrying rifles, and on the rifles were bright bayonets.
"Up!"
There was not even a scream on the mountain, and the devils did not rush up, but let more than a dozen devils go up to see the situation first.
"The Chinese ran away!"
The devil in the mountaineering position looked at the empty position and muttered in his heart; They wore masks, and they couldn't speak.
The two soldiers stepped back, gesturing for safety.
"Up!"
Jun Cao waved his hand and led more than fifty devils into the position, the devils were very confident, they did not let everyone enter the position, they were afraid of being yin by the Chinese.
"Report! The Chinese on the two heights to the east retreated; The other two highland Chinese also gave up, and all of them retreated back to Pagoda Mountain. ”
When the soldiers from the other two heights ran towards Pagoda Mountain, the officers of the devil naturally found out, and they quickly passed the news to the division headquarters.
"Yo Xi, order the 113th Wing to surround Pagoda Mountain without attacking; All the arriving troops of the Search Wing, the 146th Wing, and the 148th Wing attacked Tangji, and all the chariots and mountain artillery cooperated with the attack; Here, the Chinese no longer have any terrain to use, and before dark, they must attack Tangji. ”
Masao Watanabe slapped the map, he had received the news that the 56th Infantry Regiment in charge of blocking had exchanged fire with the 200th Division, and they were also struggling to defend in the face of the elite of the expeditionary force.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The commander of the Devil Division, who was arranging the attack, did not know that there was an explosion on the two high ground covered in poison gas.
"Ahh
The devils with masks screamed in the explosion, they are difficult now, they are not as agile as before in gas masks, and their gas masks are not reliable in the face of grenades and explosives, the devils are crazy, throw away the guns in their hands and run down the hill frantically.
"What's going on? Did the mountain artillery start shelling so early? We don't have that much ammunition in abundance, so let's save a little. ”
The faint sound of explosions made Watanabe Masao's brow furrow, and he waved his hand and told the staff officer to go out and let the artillery stop.
"The commander of the division, not our artillerymen, Chinese planted explosives on the high ground, and few of the warriors of the two squads retreated, moreover, they were all ...... by mustard gas"
More than ten minutes later, the staff officer ran into the division headquarters with a bitter face and whispered.
"Yaga, it's done!"
Masao Watanabe cursed, he didn't expect that the sins he had created himself would finally let his own soldiers taste the consequences.
As for why he chose to dispose of those soldiers who were devastated by mustard gas, it was because it would take a lot of medicine and resources to cure one, and it would take a lot of time and troops to send them back, and he was now advancing so much time and not so much time.
"Buzz ......"
The devil's plane appeared in the sky over Tangji again, and their second wave of air support came so quickly that these aviation units seemed to be assigned to the 56th Division.
"Devil plane, get into cover!"
"Commander, go!"
Zhang Chuan took Feng Ye and shouted to order the soldiers to enter the bunker, while he himself pulled Feng Ye into the camp headquarters.
This battalion headquarters is different from the south, it is no longer a simple battalion headquarters, and it is certainly much stronger than those individual bunkers.
"Boom, boom......"
When the bomb landed on the eastern position, Feng Ye and Zhang Chuan glanced at each other, and they understood that the devil was coming at him.
"Boom, boom......"
On the position east of Tangji Town, the devil's plane kept flying back and forth, bombing the smoke-filled position.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The devil planes are still the same, and after the bombing, they are just a burst of machine-gun bullets, which smoke everywhere they hit the dilapidated positions.
"All on the line, three company commanders, let your men clear the traffic trenches."
The sound of the explosion passed, Zhang Chuan didn't wait for Feng Ye to rush out of the headquarters, he ran out first, he predicted it according to the explosion.
"Squeak......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
In the roar of the engine, the eight tanks of the devils lined up in a row, followed by the devils of the brigade, slowly after the position, behind them, the devils of the 113th Wing were building positions, one was to cover the attacking devils, and the other was to prevent the Chinese defenders on the pagoda hill from rushing down to attack the rear of the attacking troops.
