Chapter 200 Poison gas bombs attack
The command room of the 13th Division in Guanjia Town.
When the news came that the baggage train was attacked in Baligou, the commander of the Ogisu Ribing Division was so angry that he chopped off the corner of his desk with a knife.
With a trembling look on his face, the communications soldier shouted in a low voice: "Your Excellency, division commander, I have another piece of bad news to tell you!"
Grabbing the collar of the communication soldier with both hands, the commander of the Ogisu Division shouted: "Nani? Is there any other bad news?"
The communications soldier shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division! A brigade of the 33rd Regiment was also completely wiped out when it rushed to Baligou!"
With a dumbfounded look on his face, the commander of the Ogisu Division shouted: "Baga! Is the 33rd Regiment a pig? All the members of a brigade were shattered in Baligou!"
The communications soldier shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander, what I need to tell you is that that brigade was killed by our own Type 92 infantry artillery!"
The commander of the Ogisu Division said angrily: "Bagaya Road! This is what the Chinese army did! They killed two of our troops at the same place on the same day. This is simply a great shame for our 13th Division!"
chief of staff!"
Taking a step forward, the chief of staff responded: "Hai! What are your orders from the division commander?"
With an angry look on his face, the commander of the Ogisu Division groaned and shouted: "Chief of Staff, call the intelligence department immediately to investigate. What unit of the China Army did this?"
The chief of staff paused heavily and said: "Hai!"
The communications corps interfaced: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the speculation of the 33rd Regiment Captain, the same group of Chinese troops attacked the baggage train and assassinated the 33rd Regiment's former commander!"
Hearing this, the commander of the Dizhou Division shouted: "So, this unit should be specially designed to support Zhang Baling's defenders, and its purpose is to delay our 13th Division's attack on the Huaihe River?"
Nodding, the chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is right. This small unit comes and goes without a trace. It does not fight us head-on. It has been carrying out sabotage operations behind the 33rd Regiment!"
The commander of the Ogisu Division shouted: "Chief of Staff, the current main task is to find out the specific location of this small unit. Once the specific location of this small unit is found, immediately encircle and suppress it with heavy troops at all costs!"
The chief of staff shouted: "Hai! I will definitely investigate according to the order of the division commander! However, the division commander, we must make some adjustments to the attack on Zhang Baling!"
With a raised eyebrow, the commander of the Ogisu Division shouted: "What do you think?"
The chief of staff groaned and shouted: "The battle at Zhang Baling must be fought quickly. According to the current situation, it will take a lot of time to transport the Type 92 infantry cannon to the 33rd Regiment. It is better to follow the request of the 33rd Regiment Captain and ask the Air Force to drop it.
poison gas bombs, and at the same time send a regiment to outflank Zhang Baling, and capture Zhang Baling in one go!"
Nodding, the commander of the Ogisu Division shouted: "Chief of Staff, this is a good idea, Yossi! Just do as you say!"
After a pause, the commander of the Ogisu Division called out: "The 16th Regiment is good at roundabout operations. Takeda-kun, this flank attack mission will be left to you!"
Taking a step towards the commander of the Ogisu Division, Captain Takeda shouted in response: "Hai! At your service to your Excellency, the division commander!"
Walking to a situation map of the battle in Huainan, the commander of the Ogisu Division shouted: "Takeda-kun, I have thought about the route of this flank attack! Wanjiacun, yes, attacking from Wanjiacun can be done without being noticed.
Appear behind Zhang Baling's defenders and respond to the 33rd Regiment!"
Staring at Wanjia Village on the map, Captain Takeda responded in a low voice: "Hey! Attack them unprepared and take them by surprise. Your Excellency, the division commander, is so clever! My regiment will definitely be able to catch Zhang Baling's defenders off guard!"
…
In the dim light of morning, the position of Zhangbaling Independent Regiment.
The soldiers are resting in the trench.
Suddenly, a soldier at the forward observation post shouted at the top of his voice: "The Japanese plane! The Japanese plane is coming!"
The color suddenly changed, and Wei Shengli looked towards the distant sky.
Sure enough, bombers with red military emblems painted on their fuselages were flying in a straight line towards Zhangbaling.
At that moment, Wei Shengli raised his voice and shouted: "Brothers, the Japanese bombers must get into the bombholes right away!"
Upon hearing the regimental commander's order, the soldiers got into the nearby artillery holes one after another.
Suddenly picking up a Czech light machine gun, Wei Shengli shouted: "First battalion commander, masturbate! Quick!"
He also picked up a Czech light machine gun, and the battalion commander shouted: "Team up! It's too dangerous! Hurry up and hide in the bombproof hole!"
He raised his Czech light machine gun and fired wildly at the Japanese aircraft. Wei Shengli shouted: "Hide your ass, I have to fight off a Japanese plane!"
With a heavy sigh, the battalion commander could only control the machine gun to shoot at the Japanese aircraft in the sky.
For a time, several Czech light machine guns at Zhang Baling's position formed an anti-aircraft fire net, but they did not injure a single Japanese aircraft.
The Japanese bombers carried out horizontal bombing, and their altitude seriously exceeded the effective range of Czech light machine guns.
Amidst the roaring sound of engines, aerial bombs roared toward Zhang Baling's position in free fall.
In an instant, bombs appeared on the trench position one after another, but there was no sound of bomb explosions.
At the same time, an aerial bomb fell next to Wei Shengli.
Suddenly throwing away the Czech light machine gun in his hand, the battalion commander shouted at the top of his voice: "Team leader! Get down quickly!"
Wei Shengli suddenly fell to the ground.
However, after being knocked down for a long time, Wei Shengli did not hear the explosion of the aerial bomb.
While he was hesitating, patches of red-green gas surged out of the position.
The coughs of the soldiers could be heard one after another.
Handing a set of gas masks to Wei Shengli, the battalion commander covered his mouth and shouted: "Tuanzuo! It's the gas bomb from the little devil! Quick! Put on the gas mask!"
Reaching out to push away the gas mask, Wei Shengli shouted: "Put it on yourself! The little devil has thrown gas bombs! Brothers, listen to my order, pee on the towel and cover your mouth!"
The equipment of the Gui Army is backward, and gas masks cannot be provided for each person like the Central Army.
In order to deal with the poison gas bombs of the Japs, Wei Shengli could only rely on the old methods to prevent the poison gas.
After hearing Wei Shengli's order, the soldiers who had not been harmed by the poisonous gas hurriedly used local methods to release the poison.
Even so, the crude anti-virus method of diapers is not very effective. The poison gas bombs dropped by the Japanese not only damage the respiratory tract and lungs, but also corrode the skin.
Many soldiers began to feel extremely itchy and in unbearable pain. They fell to the ground and rolled and struggled. In severe cases, they foamed at the mouth.
At this moment, the combat effectiveness of the Zhangbaling Independent Regiment has been lost by at least 80%.
But then, something worse happens.
A shot was fired into the sky, and a sentry whose throat was damaged by poisonous gas shouted at the top of his lungs: "Tuanzuo! Japs! A large area of dark little Japs is coming!"
Covering his nose with a wet towel, Wei Shengli turned over and lay on the parapet!
Pointing the 20-shot German-made pistol at the Japanese in front with one hand, Wei Shengli shouted: "Everyone who can breathe, let me enter the position!"
Chapter completed!
