Chapter 279: I won't miss a chance

The field command post was not very comfortable, and even in order to guard against the other side's kind of shells with tail flames, Gu Shoufu's command post was dug out of the ground.

However, after digging less than two meters, there were traces of water, and the soldiers had to use several layers of sandbags and logs to build a strong, fortress-like command post.

Although the floor was covered with broken bricks and wooden planks, it was still very damp. Take a towel and hang it on the wooden nails nailed to the wall, and it won't take long to almost wring out your hand.

Next to the command post is the place where the radio, walkie-talkie and other equipment are placed, and the noisy radio sound inside is almost completely blocked by a wooden door.

In order to prevent a sneak attack by the enemy, it is not even possible to light a fire in the command post. The only thing that could keep warm was the gas lamp hanging inside, and the bright light brought a little heat.

Hearing that there were no footsteps outside, Tani stood up and put his gloved hands on the gas lamp.

While feeling the warmth of these words, I occasionally saw the shadow of my finger on the wall. The fingers subconsciously moved twice, simulating the long mouth of a monster.

Just as his mind relaxed slightly, there was the sound of footsteps outside the canvas curtain, and there was a confusing "coo" sound.

Don't......

"General......

The staff officer who came in was wearing a raincoat, and the light of the water on it reflected the light of the gas lamp. However, two things with long pipes in his hands attracted the attention of Gu Shoufu.

"Sir, it's raining. Rest assured, good drainage ditches were dug around the command post. ”

was almost caught by his subordinates on the battlefield, and he was actually playing a child's trick, Gu Shoufu was a little embarrassed,

"What's going on over there at the forward base?"

A brigade of troops was stationed at the front, which was a unit that gave early warning to the entire 6th Division, and the current situation was ...... They are being targeted by the "Four Elements Demon King", the situation must be ......

"There are no more than 300 soldiers in a brigade alive, and those 300 have been attacked with severe chemical weapons, but the medical response should not be crippled. In addition, the squadron of tanks that went to support lost contact. ”

Frowning tightly, Gu Shoufu couldn't believe it, because Huaxia didn't have the ability to fight biochemically. Huaxia has no production capacity, whether chemical or biological, and their protective equipment is almost non-existent.

Such an army dares to use biochemical agents?

As for the tank squadron that lost contact, it should have been a broken radio. He did not believe in the infantry weapons of the night attack troops and dared to make a move on an armored squadron.

Holding off his glasses, Gu Shoufu asked in a calm tone,

"If you lose contact, their radio may be broken, but it will be poison gas...... What kind of poison gas is ......"

To the disappointment of Gu Shoufu, the staff officer who rushed to report lowered his head,

"Reporting to the general, the military doctors do not know, including our own chemical defense personnel, that the symptoms of the wounded soldier are not the same as any known poison."

Shen Nakatani Shoufu wanted to pick up the gas mask to check, but the staff officer was busy,

"General"

Without answering, Gu Shoufu only swept over with his eyes, and the staff officer immediately closed his mouth. However, there was a look of admiration in his eyes, and it was really touching that a general could care about his soldiers like this.

Picking up the gas mask, carefully probing his nose and sniffing inside the mask, a stimulating smell came to his nose, Gu Shoufu couldn't help but ask himself,

"Vasami?"

The strong pungent smell was a bit like mustard, but it was only a little bit like it, and he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Telegraph to the military department to let them know about the existence of this weapon and formulate corresponding countermeasures."

"Hi"

However, to Gu Shoufu's surprise, the staff officer did not leave immediately after receiving the order, but asked,

"General, the rain outside tends to get heavier and heavier, and it will be very cold if you get wet. For the sake of the health of the soldiers, the general is not ...... the troops in ambush"

Gu Shoufu was slightly stunned, he knew that the soldiers were somewhat afraid of the "Four Elements Demon King". Based on the results of today's tentative attack during the day and the results of the opponent's air raid tonight, it proves that this guy is really difficult to deal with.

Subconsciously lifted the curtain of the tarp, took off the gloves and reached out. The December rain was as cold as iron on the hands.

After a deep groan, he frowned and asked the staff officer,

"Did you find anything from the heavy artillery unit?"

"Report to the general, the heavy artillery unit, as well as the machine gun squadron in ambush and the infantry on the outer line, nothing was found."

Slowly putting on his gloves, Gu Shoufu raised his head.

He could imagine soldiers hiding in foxholes ready to ambush, with only a raincoat or tarp to keep the rain out, and he could imagine cold rain flowing into the pits.

In winter, the temperature is not frighteningly low. But the winter here is really cold, the kind of cold that makes you shiver in the bone marrow.

But what if, that treacherous "Four Elements Demon King" insists on attacking at night regardless of such weather......

Retreat now, and the strategy of using heavy artillery units to fish will be useless, in case the demon king appears.

Now that guy has appeared, the infantry of several brigades around him is fully capable of besieging them, and this is probably the only chance to capture that guy.

The military department attaches great importance to that guy, and there is even a legend in private that if anyone can catch the guy who is favored by the German generals as "the star of tomorrow, the youngest general", then ......

"If you were the Demon King of the Four Elements, would you attack on a night like this?"

Hearing Gu Shoufu's inquiry, the staff officer, who was still concerned about the health of the soldiers just now, thought about it, looked up at Gu Shoufu, and replied seriously,

"General, the "Art of War" in China pays attention to surprise and unpreparedness, and the lower officials understand that the more nights like this, the more likely the other party is to attack."

Hearing the consideration of the staff officer in front of him, Gu Shoufu nodded slowly,

"Look, you've just proposed that the soldiers leave the ambush and rest in the barracks and trenches. Maybe that guy will think the same way, our soldiers will be tougher than the Chinese soldiers. Moreover, they are relatively warm in the paratrooper pits, but the enemy who comes to attack will be more difficult than ours. ”

As he spoke, Gu Shoufu came back and paced back and forth in the war room for a few steps, and then suddenly turned around, looking at the staff officer with burning eyes,

"Tell the soldiers that the Demon King is the most dangerous enemy facing our Imperial Japanese Army. If we can defeat him, it will be even more important than the significance of capturing Jinling City. And we tempt with precious heavy artillery troops, he will definitely be fooled. ”

"Hi"

This time the young staff officer no longer objected to the lurking of the soldiers, a flame called hope flashed in his eager eyes, and his mind recalled the ambushed troops.

All infantry brigades were ambushed within a kilometer of heavy artillery, or were they double-decked on the basis of infantry brigades. In addition, in the heavy artillery units, mortar and grenadier crews were placed in deep earth pits, as well as machine gun squadrons.

The enemy's attack could not be taken for a while, and the infantry wings on the periphery would surround them from all sides, and by that time......

It was the 6th Division that took down the German officer who was a headache for the military headquarters, and then the Japanese Empire would bring him to the Germans......

No matter how well equipped the German army was, in spirit and tactics, they were far inferior to the Great Japanese Empire......

As if victory, the young staff officer's face, in the dim light of the war room, was filled with the hope of chasing glory that belonged to the samurai.
