Chapter 240: Beaten Badly
"Gas bombs?!"
The nearby warriors shouted in low voices.
"This is an erosive mustard gas bomb!" Wang Ye said sharply, "Tie your clothes tightly, wear gloves, wrap your feet and neck in towels, and try not to expose your skin to the air!" ”
The last batch of gas masks was looted with gloves, but without protective clothing.
The feet and neck can only be wrapped in a towel, and with the protection of the towel, even if there will still be mustard gas penetrating into it, the dose will definitely not be much, at most there will be a few red spots, and it will definitely not be erosive.
The order was issued, and the soldiers of the new 2nd Regiment and the members of the Wolf Squadron who were guarding the wall road checked their equipment to ensure that their protective measures did not leave any loopholes.
In general, the problem is not serious.
Because most of the gas bombs fell in the open space in the middle of the water kiln mountain,
The number of poison gas bombs hit on the surrounding cliffs was small, so the dose of poison gas that penetrated into the wall-hung road was not large.
Moreover, the specific gravity of mustard gas is smaller than that of air, and once volatilized, it will rise upward, while the wall-mounted highway has no chimney effect, so the poisonous gas will not change the flow direction and enter the wall-hanging road.
Over time, mustard gas will naturally evaporate.
Kong Jie suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Xiao Wang, the devil carried out a poison gas bomb attack, Lao Li and Lao Ding are not wearing gas masks, do you want to send someone to inform them to come back slowly?" ”
Wang Ye said: "The head of the regiment and the head of the Ding regiment will not come back so soon, but for the sake of insurance, I would like to send someone to inform them." ”
At that moment, Wang Ye sent another wolf warrior to inform Li Yunlong of them.
At this time, the bombardment of the devils had completely stopped, and the water kiln mountain was quiet all at once.
Kong Jie's voice sounded in the wall-hung road: "Pass the order, everyone is ready to fight!" ”
Kong Jie's order was passed down from mouth to mouth, and soon spread throughout the entire walled road, and nearly 2,000 soldiers of the new 2nd Regiment and more than 100 members of the Wolf Squadron were quickly ready for battle.
However, I saw that a stiff Type 92 heavy machine gun, Type 96 light machine gun, and Type 38 rifle all stretched out of the shooting holes carved out of the wall-hung road, and the black muzzles were even stretched out from the left and right sides of the crossing and in the few shooting holes on the ramp, but they were the 12 75 field guns of the two field artillery companies and the 6 37 rapid-fire guns and 2 75 anti-aircraft guns of the rapid-fire artillery company.
All the muzzles and muzzles of the guns were pointed at the open space in the middle of the Water Kiln Mountain.
Once fired, it will quickly weave into a net of firepower with no dead ends!
……
Outside the water kiln mountain.
Yuta Tsuchiya said: "In the previous battles, our 2nd Guards Division has not used poison gas bombs, so the Eighth Route Army must not have thought that we would suddenly use poison gas bombs!" ”
After saying this, he said: "This is habitual thinking, which is difficult for human beings to overcome. ”
"Yo Si." Maeda Tadanobu nodded happily and said, "Tsuchiya-kun is very good at psychology. ”
"Don't dare." Yuta Tsuchiya waved his hand and said, "Therefore, the Eighth Route Army will definitely be killed and injured by mustard poison gas when it is caught off guard, and maybe there is no longer a living Eighth Route Army in Shuiyao Mountain at this time." ”
As he spoke, the artillery preparations of the 2nd Guards Field Artillery Wing and the 10th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Brigade had ended, and the original deafening explosion disappeared at once, and the whole world showed an eerie silence.
Maeda Tadanobu immediately stretched out his white-gloved right hand and pressed it weakly forward.
"Command!" Yuta Tsuchiya turned around and shouted, "Team Noda, attack!" ”
One of the heralds immediately raised his flare gun and fired a red flare!
……
Koji Ono was a private in the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Guards Infantry Wing.
The airtight gas mask covered his head, and Koji Ono felt that the whole world was cut off, and he couldn't hear the sound outside, only the sound of his own heavy breathing could be clearly heard.
Fortunately, the glass cover of the gas mask has a decent field of vision,
You can clearly see the robes squatting on both sides.
Not far in front is squad leader Shiro Kamei, and in front of it is squadron leader Jun Kono.
At the front stood a lonely officer, also tightly wrapped in gas masks and protective suits, but it was their captain Hikochi Noda.
Koji Ono's mood is a little complicated.
Some excitement, some anticipation, and some fear.
As an imperial soldier who was brainwashed by the ideology of militarism, Koji Ono was extremely excited to be able to fight for the emperor and the empire.
Expectation, is looking forward to the thrill of slaughtering Chinese soldiers.
On the battlefield, every time his bayonet stabbed into the body of a Chinese soldier, Koji Ono could feel an unprecedented sense of intense pleasure.
As for fear, it is naturally the fear that you will die.
The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is very powerful, and has already killed more than 5,000 of them.
Therefore, no one dared to assert that they would not die in the next battle.
Time passed quickly in Koji Ono's gains and losses, and at a certain moment, a red light suddenly appeared in the night sky.
At this time, the heavy snow had stopped, so this red light in the night sky seemed so conspicuous and bewitching, this was the attack signal issued by the division headquarters, and it was time for them to attack!
Hikochi Noda also saw the red flare.
At that moment, Noda Hikochi drew his saber and pulled it forward, shouting, "Forward!" ”
Jun Kono and Shiro Kamei stood up one after another, and Koji Ono and the Japanese soldiers on both sides also stood up one after another, holding the 38 cover that had already been loaded with bayonets, and strode forward.
Due to the protective suit, it appeared a little clumsy.
At this time, fighting bayonets, it is estimated that it can only exert sixty percent of its strength.
However, looking at the robes on the left and right sides, and then at the squad leader, squadron leader, and even the brigade Noda Hikochi who were walking in front with a saber, Koji Ono immediately regained his confidence.
After all, mustard gas bombs have already been used.
The Eighth Route Army, hiding in the mountains, is estimated to be dead.
Koji Ono followed behind the squad leader Shiro Kamei and quickly passed through the Mizuya Pass.
When passing the water kiln pass, Koji Ono glanced at the two small mountain bags on both sides, and saw that the small mountain bags had collapsed completely and had become unrecognizable.
It is estimated that the Eighth Route Military first hollowed out the hill bag.
Then it was bombarded by the heavy howitzers of the 10th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery.
I don't know how many eight roads were buried alive under these two hills? But according to Koji Ono's estimate, it should be a lot.
Koji Ono continued to walk with a bayonet, and soon entered the water kiln mountain, and through the burning fire, he could vaguely see the shape of the entire mountain kiln mountain.
It looks like a well that has collapsed!
That's probably how the place name of Shuiyao Mountain came from, right?
The internal space of Shuiyao Mountain is large enough, with a diameter of four or five hundred meters!
They had 4 infantry squadrons, 1 heavy machine gun squadron and an artillery squadron in it, occupying only a small area.
"Captain!"
"There's a row of houses over there!"
"Captain, there seems to be a shooting hole in the cliff."
Finally, a devil with good eyesight found the hanging wall road on the cliff, but it was used as a shooting hole.
"Shooting holes? On the cliff? Noda Hikochi's heart sank slightly, and he shouted in a low voice, "Artillery squadron, fire flares!" ”
The artillery squadron immediately set up two Type 97 81mm mortars, and only two muffled toms were heard, and the two flares squeaked and screamed into the air.
Even if there is a bright light.
The interior space of the Water Kiln Mountain is illuminated as bright as day.
At this time, including Koji Ono, more than 1,000 devil soldiers of the entire Noda Brigade can see clearly, and the figure-7 hanging wall road carved on the cliff is still not clear, and can only see the chiseled skylight and rows of shooting holes of different sizes on the cliff wall.
From these shooting holes, Koji Ono felt a chill to the bone.
Noda Hikochi did not hesitate to order the retreat: "Withdraw, retreat, quickly drop!" ”
The Eighth Route Army had dug so many bunkers on the cliffs, and the effect of the mustard gas bombs would be greatly reduced, so there was no doubt at all that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops must have been hiding on the cliffs on both sides.
And most of the Eighth Route Army on the cliff is still alive!
It's a trap waiting for them to fall into their trap!
"Withdraw! Evacuate! Noda Yanqi decisively ordered.
However, it was already too late, and it was too late to evacuate.
As soon as Noda Yanqi's words fell, tongues of fire erupted from the shooting holes on the cliffs on both sides.
This tongue of fire, like a flame whip in the hand of death, struck the Japanese soldiers violently, and the Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard fell down in rows.
Immediately after, a cloud of red light suddenly rose from the center of the clearing.
The red light was accompanied by a loud explosion that shattered a person's eardrums.
"Boom!" Koji Ono felt the ground trembling violently under his feet, and in his field of vision, more than a dozen robes were instantly swept into the air by the air waves generated by the explosion.
The two robes at the center of the explosion were even more directly torn apart.
"Yaga!" Koji Ono cursed, turned around and ran back desperately.
Just by looking at the power of this explosion, you know that it is a mine converted from a 150mm caliber high-explosive grenade! Grenades of this caliber can directly shred creatures within a radius of five meters.
Creatures within a radius of 30 meters will also be killed by fragments.
And Koji Ono believes that there will never be only one such mine.
Almost as soon as Koji Ono's thought crossed his mind, a continuous violent explosion sounded in his ears, and a huge wave of sound continuously and violently hit Koji Ono's eardrums, causing deafness in an instant.
However, Koji Ono still relied on a strong desire to survive and ran back quickly.
While frantically fleeing, Koji Ono saw out of the corner of his eye that his robe was falling to the ground one by one.
Some were swept down by the light and heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army, some were swept away by the air waves generated by the explosion, but many more were killed and injured by the fragments generated by the grenade explosion.
At least hundreds of modified mines exploded intensively,
In an instant, the flat land in the Water Kiln Mountain turned into purgatory.
While running, Koji Ono felt a strong wind sweep across his face.
Koji Ono knew that it was the fragments formed by the explosion of the shell that swept around him at high speed.
Due to his deafness in both ears, Koji Ono could not hear the screams of the fragments, but his eyesight was not lost, so he could see the blurred trails of the fragments in the air.
Koji Ono doesn't know when he's going to fall?
Maybe in the next second, his body will be pierced by fragments.
Just now, Koji Ono saw the squad leader Shiro Kamei being cut off half of his head by a piece of shard.
However, the miraculous thing is that Koji Ono ran for nearly a hundred meters, almost to the water kiln mountain pass, and he was still unharmed, not only the fragments, but also the bullets did not hit his body.
There were a dozen other people who rushed to the mountain pass with Koji Ono.
Among them was their squadron leader, Jun Kono, who seemed to have run out of good luck.
Seeing that he could hide behind the two small mountain bags, another tongue of fire swept over, and Kono Jun's entire back was instantly beaten into a sieve, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
Koji Ono looked around again, and there were only a few people left.
At that moment, Koji Ono used his strength to breastfeed, and miraculously accelerated again.
The moment he crossed the mountain pass, Koji Ono turned and jumped violently, and his whole body fell diagonally behind the small mountain bag on the right, and almost at the moment when he fell to the ground sideways, another tongue of fire flew over, and several robes behind him were instantly swept to the ground.
Fewer than five escaped!
This time, I was really beaten!
……
The Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment are also about to be unable to attack.
The outer defense line of the Tsuda detachment was greatly expanded, and the defensive forces were relatively scattered, so in the initial offensive, the independent regiment and the new 1st regiment appeared to be broken and unstoppable.
But after breaking through the outer fortifications of the devils,
The front of the devil's defense narrowed, and the forces were concentrated.
So the strength of the whole defense was raised at once.
The advance of the Separate Regiment and the New 1st Regiment began to become difficult.
It feels like you've been stuck in the mud.
In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of troops, but the 2 regiments have to be divided into 8 roads, and it is really difficult to play the momentum of 8 regiments, which is called excessive use of troops.
From a military point of view, this is undoubtedly extremely stupid.
Because when you can't attack, you will stop with a counterattack from the enemy.
And you don't even have room to redeem, because you don't have reserves.
For example, now, the commando team led by Li Yunlong himself has been blocked by devils again.
Two Type 92 heavy machine guns hid behind two rocks, one left and one right formed crossfire, and after sacrificing two fighters, Li Yunlong began to shout the pillar again.
"Pillars?"
"Pillars?!"
"Where's the pillar of the dog day?"
Ge Erdan, who was lying beside Li Yunlong, whispered: "Regiment Commander, Company Commander Wang, he was injured and has been carried down by the stretcher team. ”
"Look at my memory, forget this to death."
Li Yunlong patted his head and said, "Are there still artillerymen?" ”
"It's gone." Ge Erdan shook his head and said, "The dozen or so artillery soldiers assigned to the team directly under our regiment headquarters were not injured and carried back after they had already been sacrificed. ”
"Damn, then this battle is hard."
Li Yunlong's brows tightened suddenly.
Ge Erdan was eager to try: "Commander, why don't you let me try it?" ”
"You?" Li Yunlong snorted and said, "Pull it down, don't waste Lao Tzu's cannonballs." ”
"Commander, why do you underestimate people." Ge Erdan said unhappily, "I've been watching Company Commander Wang fight for a long time, and I've already learned it in those few strokes." ”
"Just blow it."
"It's not so easy to shoot a cannon."
While the two were talking, Wei Xilai came over panting and chased after him.
"Commander? Head! Wei Xilai chased after Li Yunlong, gasped and said, "The captain asked me to inform you that the devils of Shuiyao Mountain have begun to attack, and the independent regiment and the new 1st regiment will withdraw immediately." ”
"Got it." Li Yunlong shouted, "Erdan, immediately notify all battalions, alternate cover, and withdraw from the battlefield one by one, but before retreating, we must lay mines to prevent the devils from attacking our counter-assault!" ”
After fighting devils for so many years, the Eighth Route Army has also been trained.
After a pause, he said to Wei Xilai again: "Xinei, has the notice arrived from the new 1st regiment?" Do you want to send someone to inform? ”
Wei Xilai said: "I met the communication soldiers of the new 1st Regiment on the road just now, and Regiment Commander Ding should have been notified. ”
"That's good." Li Yunlong thrust the box cannon into the armed belt around his waist, and shouted, "Commando, hurry up and bury mines!" ”
As soon as the offensive of the Eighth Route Army stopped, the devils on the opposite side immediately noticed it, and even organized troops to launch a counter-assault, trying to entangle the Eighth Route Army and prevent the other party from retreating.
As a result, he crashed headlong into the minefield of the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army charged again and killed many little devils.
After losing several infantry squads, the devils decisively abandoned the pursuit.
About half an hour later, the independent regiment and the new 1st regiment withdrew to the first line, and at this time, the battle in Shuiyao Mountain had just ended, and a Japanese infantry brigade that attacked was almost completely annihilated.
This kind of battle of closing the door and fighting the dog is really not suspenseful.
……
Koji Ono stood in front of Maeda Tadanobu with a blank face, like a fool.
Until this moment, Koji Ono still had dazzling red lights flashing in front of his eyes, and severed limbs and stumps flying in the air, as well as brains and blood throwing in the air.
The brain melon seeds are still buzzing.
Koji Ono's hearing has not yet recovered.
Maeda Tadanobu didn't say a word, but the expression on his face was so cold that it seemed to be able to scrape off a layer of frost.
Maeda Tadanobu was in a really bad mood at this time, but he also knew that this defeat had nothing to do with the senior soldier in front of him, not even with Noda Hikochi.
What's more, Hikochi Noda has also sacrificed his life for the empire.
If you want to blame, you can only blame the prince, this guy is really cunning.
After fighting this guy, you really have to be mentally motivated.
Because if you are not careful, you may fall into his way and suffer unbearable losses.
Taking a deep breath, Maeda Tadanobu suppressed the anger in his chest and asked, "Ono-kun, you are one of the six survivors of the Noda Brigade, and you are the only survivor who is not injured. ”
"Could you please tell me what happened in the Water Kiln Mountain?"
"There are more than 1,000 people in the Noda Brigade, and they were almost wiped out so quickly?"
Yuta Tsuchiya then asked, "How many Eighth Route Army are still hidden in the Water Kiln Mountain?" Also, how did the Eighth Route Army escape the attack of mustard gas? ”
The other dozen or so officers were also questioning.
Koji Ono just looked at Maeda Tadanobu with a wooden face.
