Chapter 311, The Battle of Texas 4
"Get down!" Jiang Qiang killed more than a dozen machine gunners of the devil one after another, and then saw one of the devil's Type 97 medium tanks aiming its gun at himself! Jiang Qiang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately shouted at the soldiers around him, and then pressed down the tiger that was frantically output next to him.
Boom, almost at the same time, a caliber shell exploded on the women's wall in front of Jiang Qiang, and the powerful explosion power directly blew through the wall more than half a meter thick, and countless shrapnel swished everywhere! The huge explosion made people's eardrums buzz, and no sound could be heard for a long time. Thanks to Jiang Qiang's timely shouting, the dozen or so soldiers around him reacted quickly, and they squatted down as soon as possible, except for being shocked and covered in dust, their eardrums buzzed, and there were no casualties!
But under the close shelling of the devils, not everyone can be so lucky, many soldiers were hit by shells and fell in a pool of blood, and their lives and deaths are unknown! The war-torn ancient city wall of Texas was once again dusted, and shocking craters appeared!
The smoke inside and outside the city of Texas is filled, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke and blood is pungent and unpleasant, making it difficult for people to breathe! "Brother Jiang, I had to lose you just now, otherwise I would have confessed here!" Huzi smiled, the infantry commander who was concentrating on sniping the devil just now, really didn't pay attention to being targeted by the little devil's tank, and he was killed directly in seconds when he was almost lost!
"Damn it, don't say it, the little devil is really accurate enough to shoot this cannon! I almost didn't even react! Jiang Qiang smiled, patted the dust on his head and said: "Let everyone be careful not to be strong, let the devil tanks and artillery run rampant for a while, let's slowly eat the devil infantry!" ”
"Assault, Tao Ci Change, Tao Ci Change...... "Assault, all have, Assault, Tao Ci ......" "Rush! Kill these damned Shina people for me, kill them! ”
The Japanese tanks bombarded the artillery in unison, and the firepower of the Independent Brigade and the 243rd Brigade was suppressed at once, and when the artillery fire stopped for a while, the devil infantry crawling on the ground quickly got up from the ground, babbling and shouting slogans to charge forward again! "Little devils, you think too much! Brothers, don't panic, wait until the devil is close before fighting! ”
You don't need to look up to hear the devil's hurried footsteps, Jiang Qiang immediately squatted half-squatting by the city wall, this time Yang Fan made a bold decision, until the devil had come to the city wall and began to climb up the gentle slope that was blasted out, this time he pulled the trigger and slammed out a ghost soldier who commanded the battle! "Kill!"
Immediately afterwards, other fighters also came forward, assault rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and grenades began to greet vigorously, and the powerful firepower network began to frantically harvest the heads of the devils, and in an instant, the devils who rushed to them were sieve! "Tao times change, Tao times change ......"
The little devil was red-eyed and crazy, and the ancient city wall that was close at hand charged many times but failed, this time seeing that it was only one or twenty meters away, but it encountered stubborn resistance again, and everyone fought desperately to rush forward! I saw that the little devil completely ignored the casualties, and kept pulling the trigger and throwing out the grenade, which was completely a life-for-life play! "Dang!"
A bullet whistled and hit the helmet of a 243 Brigade soldier next to him, and with a metal crisp sound, the bullet sparked and flew away! "Oops! Am I going to die? "The warrior only felt a huge force coming, his head buzzed, and the whole person involuntarily fell straight backwards!" Erhu, are you alright? Wake up! ”
A comrade-in-arms next to him hurriedly leaned down to check and found that the bullet did not penetrate the helmet, but when he saw Liu Erhu's eyes rolling and motionless, he also said that he was shocked to death! "Huh? Cousin, am I not dead yet? Wow, it didn't even penetrate? Haha, the steel helmet of the Independent Brigade is really sturdy! ”
Only then did the warrior react and laugh when he touched it with his hand! Jiang Qiang deliberately brought some more bulletproof helmets this time, and after entering the city yesterday to rendezvous, he distributed the helmets to the friendly troops, this batch of helmets is not a little stronger than the devil's Type 30 steel helmet! Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to penetrate the little devil's 38 big cover if it is not hit head-on at close range, and those grenade shrapnel are even more impossible!
"You! Don't hurry up and continue to kill devils, I've seen those who were killed, but I haven't seen anyone scared to death! Be careful, this time it's the devil's bullet that misses a little, and next time it's not so lucky! Niu He patted Liu Erhu on the shoulder with a smile, they are cousins who joined the army together, so they naturally don't want anything to happen to Liu Erhu!
"Hey, hey! Little devil, you can be regarded as a person who has died once, now it's your turn! Liu Erhu laughed, this time he picked up a life, and immediately half-squatted up and pulled the trigger towards the ghost soldiers who were surging like a tide.
Bang bang bang! Da-da-da-da! Boom!
The Chinese defenders, who occupy the geographical advantage and firepower advantage, did not panic in the face of the swarming devil soldiers, and the powerful firepower network soon knocked the devil soldiers who dared to charge and rise to the ground! Then he began to shoot accurately, naming the stubborn devil soldiers lying under the city wall!
The Japanese attacking force was once again frustrated, the corpse of the little devil fell to the ground, and there was already a river of blood near the city wall, and a large area of dirt was dyed purple and black! In the high-intensity fighting at close range, the independent brigade and the 243rd brigade paid a lot of casualties, but with the advantages of logistics and medical care, the wounded soldiers were quickly and effectively treated, and the actual death rate was far lower than that of the attacking devil soldiers! "The brothers put the devil close and then fight, so that the devil's heavy artillery field artillery has nowhere to call!" "Damn, if we fight in Gaomi County, Lao Tzu's heavy artillery regiment will not be vegetarian!"
When the enemy and us in Dezhou City fought to the death, the defenders of Lingxian County were also in a bloody battle with the little devils, and the first and second regiments relied on the ancient city wall of the Tang Dynasty in Lingxian County to build an inverted triangle defensive position, and stubbornly resisted several attacks by the devils! I have to say that although only 5 of the devil's heavy artillery pieces were mobilized to Lingxian for fire support, the pressure and casualties caused were very heavy!
In particular, this kind of passive rhythm of beating made the officers and men of the first and second regiments extremely aggrieved, because the medium mortars they carried could not reach the heavy artillery positions of the devils at all! The Tang city wall of Lingxian County is built into three city walls with rammed earth, which is wide and solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are buildings, parapet walls, forts, etc. built on the city.
The wall is about five zhang high, about two zhang wide on the top, the circumference is 20 miles, the three cities surround, it is a whole, the momentum is majestic, it is magnificent. Although it has been damaged by historical changes, it still exerts an extremely powerful barrier defense! The officers and men of the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment of the Jiaodong Independent Brigade resisted bravely and tenaciously while facing the indiscriminate bombardment of the devil's artillery, destroying five light tanks of the devil before and after, and annihilating nearly 1,000 infantry of the devil!
The fierce battle lasted from dawn to noon! Thousands of devils stormed Dexian and Lingxian for a whole morning, using tanks, artillery, mortars, and onboard charges to exhaust all kinds of moves, and paid more than 3,000 lives, but they still couldn't conquer Dexian and Lingxian!
"Baga Ya Road! How can the Chinese army still have such a strong fighting force? Why can't you capture these two earthen cities? Yaga! "The commander of the Japanese division, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, kept dripping blood in his heart, this time he has given enough attention to the independent brigade, but he is still beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, this evil breath is really unbearable! Ryosuke Isoya immediately became evil from the side of his guts, and viciously ordered: "Order the troops to suspend the attack and withdraw to a safe area, we must use new weapons!" "Haha, the devil has retreated again!"
"Little devil, aren't you very powerful, why don't you dare to continue to attack? Ha ha! "Ahem, ahem, Lao Tzu killed more than 10 little devils today, even if he dies now, it's enough!" Ha ha! "Immediately clean up the scene and rescue the wounded, the little devil will definitely not give up!" "Be careful to hide, beware of the devils coming to shell again!" "Hurry up and get something to eat, everyone!"
After half a day of fierce fighting, I finally saw the devil retreat on his own initiative, and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade and the 243rd Brigade could finally breathe a sigh of relief. "Chief of Staff Jiang, today is really relieving! Haha, let's take a cigarette first! The commander of the 243rd Brigade, Yun Qichang, came to Yang Fan's side with a smile, handed out a cigarette, took out a match and scratched it on his body, covered the lit match with his hand and lit a cigarette for Yang Fan!
"Haha, Brigade Commander Yun, all the brothers of your 243rd Brigade are good! It's a joy of life to be able to fight side by side with you! Everyone carried the sedan chair, Jiang Qiang smiled and praised it, then took out a lighter from his pocket and helped Yun Qichang light a cigarette with a click! Chief of Staff Jiang, all of your brothers in the Independent Brigade are extraordinary, and each of them is a good fighter for fighting devils! Our whole brigade is admired and admired! ”
Yun Qichang praised it from the bottom of his heart, and then looked at the luxury lighter that Jiang Qiang took out with bright eyes, and smiled enviously: "Wow, Chief of Staff Jiang, your lighter is too high-end!" It's exciting to watch! "If Brigadier Yun likes it, I'll send you a souvenir!" Haha, don't be polite to me, brothers, if you can afford it, take it! ”
Jiang Qiang smiled, and involuntarily stuffed the lighter to Yun Qichang, which is a gadget that can be bought for ten yuan in Shanghai, which is not worth mentioning at all.
Yun Qichang felt a great honor and took advantage of the sky, and nodded again and again in thanks: "Chief of Staff Jiang is arrogant, then I will be ashamed!" Thank you! "It's a little meaning, why bother!" Jiang Qiang took a puff of cigarette, then glanced at the devil troops who were retreating far away, and said in a deep voice:
"The devil has suffered a big loss today, and he will definitely not give up! Either they'll call for air support, or they'll use the shady trick to release gas bombs! We need to be careful! "Chief of Staff Jiang is strategizing to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and if the little devils have three heads and six arms, what can they do to us?" Ha ha! Yun Qichang first laughed a few times, and then scolded with a gloomy face: "These little devils are really despicable, they will only bully our country for not having chemical weapons!" Alas, it is really a weak country without diplomacy! ”
Yun Qichang sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, if it weren't for Jiang Qiang presiding over the overall situation today, and the well-equipped and well-trained Jiaodong Independent Brigade defending together, the 243rd Brigade of this combat intensity would definitely not be able to stop it, not to mention that the little devil would also use poison gas bombs! "Haha, Brigade Commander Yun praised it falsely! You don't have to be too upset, sooner or later, we will get back on our feet! Jiang Qiang smiled, and then said to the tiger beside him: "Let the brothers put on protective clothing now, the devil is likely to be angry!"
In addition, notify the first and second groups to pay attention to prevent the devil from using yin tricks! "Because he was besieged in Dexian and Lingxian counties due to the devil's calculations, Jiang Qiang knew that according to the murderous nature of the devil, as long as he could not attack for a long time, he would definitely use prohibited chemical weapons, so he had to make preparations for rushing and directly put tens of thousands of sets of protective clothing in the transport vehicle!
Now I have been tough with the devil for a long time, and I have thwarted more than ten full-strength attacks by the devil, according to the past practice, the devil will definitely sacrifice the big killing move of poison gas bomb! The Japanese military was well aware that Article 171 of the Treaty of Versailles, as well as other international conventions signed by Japan after World War I, explicitly prohibited the use of poison gas in war. However, after the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army used chemical weapons in the Beijing-Tianjin, Guangdong, Taiyuan and Wuhan battlefields in China.
The Japanese explained their blatant contempt for international conventions as follows: "The Army did not consider non-compliance with the ban to be a problem in dealing with a technologically backward enemy. "The types of poison gas used by the Japanese army in China are generally tear-jerking phenylchloroacetophenone, vomiting biphenyl arsine chloride and biphenyl nitrate arsine, erosive mustard gas and Lewis gas, as well as asphyxiating phosgene, methylpyridine chloride and cyanic acid gas.
In order to cover up the crime of conducting poison gas warfare, the Japanese army instituted a strict secrecy system, stipulating that poison gas was called special smoke, and the markings of ammunition and ammunition boxes had to be removed before they could be delivered to the troops! Contrary to Japan, the Chinese army did not have poison gas weapons for attack, and even gas masks and other anti-poison equipment were lacking!
The Supreme Command in China also lacked research on the chemical warfare of the Japanese army, the anti-drug organs were not sound, the higher-level organs did not pay attention to it, the establishment of the anti-chemical warfare troops of various units existed in name only, and the soldiers knew nothing about poison gas! Due to various reasons, the Chinese army and civilians suffered heavy losses under the Japanese army's chemical warfare attack, and in several battles, the number of casualties of the Chinese army by poison gas accounted for 20 percent of the total casualties.
"Good! Please rest assured, the chief of staff, the little devil is just that little bit of insidious tricks, and it's okay to deal with others, but it's not enough to deal with us! Ha ha! "Today's battle can be described as dripping and joyful, Huzi is completely addicted, and nodded excitedly." Don't be arrogant or discouraged when you win, and never get carried away until the last moment! ”
Jiang Qiang smiled, and then continued: "By the way, let our military reporters record the ancient city of Texas where the devil bombed into ruins, and if the devil really shamelessly drops poison gas bombs, I will also record it all!" In the future, we will collect the blood debt from the little devils one by one! Feeling the importance played by Wang Hui last time, after returning to Zhaoyuan County, Zhuang Tao specially set up an army post establishment for military reporters, and this time he brought 3 reporters with him!
"Your Excellency, Huang No. 1 and Huang No. 2 red special cigarettes are ready!" When the devil troops completely retreated to a safe distance to rest, the artillery unit moved out the gas bombs and could be dropped at any time! In order to distinguish ordinary ammunition, the Japanese army printed red or blue and several other colors of logo bands on the chemical bombs!
For example, yellow No. 1 indicates mustard gas, yellow No. 2 indicates Lewy erosive gas, brown indicates potassium cyanate, blue indicates carbonyl chloride, and red indicates asphyxiating toxic gas arsenic cyanide. "Red shells" and "yellow shells" are fired by artillery or dropped by aircraft, "red canisters" are fired with projectors or grenadiers, and "yellow agents" are directly sprinkled with mustard gas stock solution. "Yo Xi! There is no need to be merciful to the enemy, and the artillery units are ordered to immediately drop special smoke! Let the Imperial warriors rest well, and wait for the danger to be eliminated before cutting off the head of the commander of the Huaxia army! ”
Ryosuke Isoya's face was full of demonic hideousness, and his heart kept dripping blood and remorse: I knew that Jiang Qiang and the Hengsan Jiaodong Independent Brigade were so difficult, they shouldn't have used conventional tactics, and they should have directly sent these devils to hell with poison gas bombs! "Ready! Put! "Boom!"
The devil artillery who received the order soon did not hesitate to drop poison gas bombs at Dezhou City and Ling County, and one by one the shells fell accurately into the city, and after exploding, they turned into clouds of smoke! "Grass, these damn brutes have used poison gas bombs!" "Fortunately, our chief of staff is wise, otherwise this ubiquitous poisonous gas would not have been able to hide at all!" "Yes, yes! The chief of staff is so powerful that he even has a protective suit specially designed to protect against poison gas bombs! "Then I don't need to talk about it!"
Although wearing protective clothing and gas masks, they couldn't stop everyone's hatred, respect and pride, and they gathered in twos and threes to enjoy the "fireworks" released by the devils! After only hearing the sound of violent cannons, Dezhou City and Lingxian County were completely plunged into thick smoke! "Yo Xi, the gas bomb is starting to work! I'm going to see how you can survive this time, the Baga Ya Road, there is only one dead end against the Imperial Japanese Army! ”
The commander of the Devil Division, Ryosuke Isoya, saw through the telescope that Dezhou City was completely shrouded in poisonous gas, and said that the Jiaodong Independent Brigade and the 243rd Brigade must be dead, and said with an extremely arrogant smile:
"Order the troops to launch a general attack again after 2 hours, and be sure to completely annihilate the Chinese defenders before dark!" "Hello! The Imperial Japanese Army will win! "The chief of staff of the devil also laughed very sinisterly, this time he was able to completely annihilate Jiang Qiang's Jiaodong Independent Brigade, which made the base camp attach great importance to it, the merit and glory are definitely great, maybe he can also be promoted to major general!" It's okay now, let's everyone be careful and don't touch the venom left behind! After waiting quietly for nearly an hour, the poisonous gas in the air was completely dissipated, and after confirming that it was safe, Jiang Qiang took off his gas mask, took off his protective suit, and threw it aside!
This time, the devil not only used suffocating gas bombs, but also used erosive gas bombs, which are attached to protective clothing and other objects, and once they come into contact with the skin, they will also cause damage! "These brutes are really inhuman!" "Hurry up and take pictures of them, so that everyone knows about the anti-human acts of these beasts!"
When the gas cleared, the three military reporters began to travel again, going to various parts of the city to photograph the tragic scene after the gas bombs were dropped! Before, Jiang Qiang asked the 243 Brigade to evacuate the people in the city to other places in advance, otherwise it would have been a catastrophe, but all the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep left by the people in the city were killed! In addition, the bodies of some fallen soldiers who did not have time to be disposed of were also made miserable by erosive gas bombs!
The devil's gas bomb was dropped, and no one felt extremely angry and hateful, but it also angered Jiang Qiang, who was protecting the calf, and directly took out the gas bomb that was seized last time to Jiang Qiang! The little devil's despicable and shameless anti-human behavior is really the anger of people and gods, and he took the initiative to ask Jiang Qiang to fight back! "Alright! I'm still going to do it myself! ”
Jiang Qiang was secretly thinking about revenge against the Japanese, and Jiang Qiang also deployed a large amount of drugged ammunition, last time it was against the Sixth Division, Jiang Qiang secretly calculated, although there is no long-range heavy firepower, but the medium mortar can still be hit several kilometers away, and then quietly touch around the devil's camp at night, then it will not be able to catch it? But before that, there will be at least some hard and bloody battles, and the devils will come to attack the city again in an hour at most!
"Hehe, the little devil will definitely think that the chemical weapons that have been tried and tested on the battlefield in China can make miraculous achievements again, this time we can use the information difference to arrange it well, so that the devil can plant a big heel and cut a piece of meat down!" Thinking of this, Jiang Qiang's heart was happy!
"The little devils are really here again, haha!" Sure enough, as Jiang Qiang expected, as soon as everyone arranged the "miserable" scene, they saw the devil tank covering the infantry from far and near, and this time there were more than 800 devils in 4 squadrons in the four directions combined! "Inform the brothers, put them all in the city, and we'll close the door and beat the dogs when the time comes!"
The devil's tank and artillery positions are eyeing outside, Yang Fan doesn't want to play a positional battle with the little devil like he did in the morning, so he simply put the little devil directly into the city, and then use the powerful firepower to fight the dog! "Shy ga, it's so quiet, is it possible that all the Huaxia troops have been poisoned?"
"Yo Xi, the special smoke of the Great Japanese Empire has always been invincible, this time we only need to collect the corpse!" "Yaga! If you don't want to lose your head, be careful, our opponents are well-equipped and extremely cunning, so don't be careless! "Hello! Everyone searches and advances, and when they encounter something suspicious, they immediately open fire! Don't let the Huaxia rat who pretends to be dead have any chance to fight back! ”
The little devils are still the old routine before, the tanks, heavy machine guns, and grenadiers all stay at a distance of three or four hundred meters to build defensive positions, and the devil infantry is lined up in a skirmish line with three or eight big covers and light machine guns and quickly swarms towards several gaps in the city wall! "Yo Xi, the special smoke of the Great Japanese Empire is really invincible!" "Shw! Damn Huaxia rat, it's finally over! "Hurry up and find out, where is the commander of the Huaxia army dead, I will cut off his head and kick it as a ball!"
The little devil carefully climbed the Texas city wall more than ten meters high from the gentle slope at the gap with a gun, and at a glance, there were thousands of corpses lying on the city wall and inside the city, especially the terrifying dead corpses with pus all over the body! "Die to the Chinese rat! Matsuda-kun, I've avenged you! "A devil soldier held a three-eight big cover, and put the bright bayonet directly next to a corpse, and with a pop, the white knife went in and the red knife came out!" Ono-kun, be careful, these corpses are poisonous, don't hurt yourself! ”
A ghost soldier next to him glanced at the ghost soldier with an idiot look, does this Nima's pus-covered corpse still need to mend the knife? "Yo Xi, thank you Jun Cao for reminding me, I was reckless!" The devil soldier hurriedly saluted, and then continued to carefully search along the city wall, looking at the unpleasant one and stabbing a knife to make up for a shot! And more devils quickly searched and advanced towards the city along the stairs of the lower city wall, because they all thought that the officials must be hiding somewhere in the city, and their heads were all merit medals worth ten thousand gold!
