1438 Attack 3
A 107mm cannon aimed at the target in the distance. At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close, only about 600 meters. The outline of the target was quite clear in the flames of the shell explosion and under the guidance of the tracer bomb.
"Use a flare?" asked a companion.
"No need, this brightness is enough, and the flares are easy to attract the attention of the enemy." The gunner didn't care. After firing two shots with side-by-side machine guns and determining the target distance, the thick 107mm cannon aimed at the target.
Boom! A thick and long flame ejected from the gun mouth, but under the cover of the long-range artillery fire, this fire did not attract the attention of the Japanese. After all, there were rapid-fire cannons on the western front using flat fire to suppress the opposite side. In 20 seconds, three shells flew out one after another, blowing the machine gun bunker into pieces. At the same time, three other self-propelled artillery also successfully killed the target, and a passage of hundreds of meters wide appeared on this position! After pulling out the firepower point, the only thing the Japanese soldiers could rely on on this line of defense was individual weapons! And this time, the Germans prepared a new thing for them!
Before entering the trench, a German soldier finally took a breath of fresh air, then suddenly pulled down the gas mask on his head. After confirming that his companions behind him were all ready, several white smoke-emitting objects were thrown in. After a while, there were bursts of violent coughing sounds in the trench and some shelters.
"Attack! No living mouth!" A simple gesture determined the result of all Japanese soldiers. Under the stimulation of tear gas released a large amount of toxic gas, the Japanese troops who were still in the trench were caught off guard. They had never encountered this situation. A white or green stimulating gas poured into their lungs along the trachea, stimulating the alveoli frantically. Under stress, the mucus secreted by the human body not only failed to protect the respiratory tract but also had a huge impact on breathing, blocking most of the organs. Due to lack of oxygen and stimulation, Japanese soldiers rolled wildly in the trench, with violent coughing and hysterical sounds shattering the night sky.
In addition to attacking the respiratory system, this non-fatal tear gas also has an effect on the human eye. After a moment, the Japanese exposed to the tear gas gas had red and swollen eyes and could hardly see the situation outside. They staggered out of the trench and tried to walk to a relatively "clean" place based on their own feelings, but unfortunately, they would never have a chance.
These Japanese defenders who bumped in the dark, had no ability to resist, and even lost the most basic perception of the outside world were almost the prey they came to their doors! Bright fire snakes suddenly filled the entire night sky, and dense gunshots sounded in the Japanese trenches, and balls of charge bullets easily swept down the rows of Japanese troops. Bloody flowers bloomed in the night. Groups of Japanese soldiers were easily knocked down like they were cut wheat, and the red blood flowed into the trenches, and corpses fell thousands of miles away from the local area.
The German commando cleared the opponent with extremely high efficiency. Submachine gunners were in front, riflemen and grenadiers were in the back, and the machine gun team set up machine guns in suitable places, and then blocked the sudden fire point. Unpredictable, the outermost infantry defense line collapsed.
"If we were using chlorine this time, we would probably not even need to clean the trenches!" A German soldier said. Before this attack, someone had proposed to use chlorine as an attack method, but it was rejected by the prince. It was not that the prince was so compassionate, but because, for countries of the same level, you can use chlorine gas to slaughter others today, and others can also use the same means to deal with you!
War is a continuation of politics, not just for killing, so too deep slaughter is unnecessary. Moreover, the release of poison gas in this era is not made with shells or bombs. Instead, compressed gas cylinders can be used, which can only be released when the wind direction, temperature and humidity are appropriate, so there are various restrictions when using it. Overall, it is a bit useless.
Although I didn't agree to the use of large-scale chemical warfare, the prince's legion still had defensive measures in place. Moreover, lethal large-scale poison gas cannot be used, but tear gas used for trench operations and breakthroughs have been created, and it is used as a tactical weapon. Then, when dealing with the Russians, it was useless, and when dealing with the Japanese, it was taken out.
Of course, these things are just a small episode, but the offensive troops provided some help. While cleaning up the surface positions, the subsequent Japanese army also reacted. According to the Japanese army's reaction, what they should do now is to rush up through the traffic trench immediately, and then use bayonets to overturn the opponent at close range!
"Follow the trench! Be careful to lower your body!" A sergeant kept reminding his colleagues behind him. After seeing the German firepower, even when they were operating at night, they still hid their bodies as much as possible. Relying on their familiarity with the environment, the Japanese army moved forward quickly. However, when passing by a corner, a long tube secretly extended from the other side.
Huh! A large ball of flames instantly filled the entire trench. Under the action of compressed air, fuel flew out of the nozzle and was ignited. The flames like fire dragons rolled and roared in the narrow trench, spreading death and fear! In the relatively closed space, the flamethrower was like the god of death. Before this group of Japanese troops could react, the few people in the front had turned into coke one by one.
The soldiers behind were even more miserable. Although they were not burned directly by the flames, after being hit by the rapidly contaminated flames, this organic oil will adhere to the skin and even penetrate into the human body! Unless you can dig a piece of meat with a knife, this flame will definitely not be able to get rid of it.
Some Japanese soldiers slapped the flames on their bodies in panic, and then this could only spread faster. A hysterical scream sounded from the trenches. When the remaining soldiers were at a loss and did not know how to save their colleagues who had become torches, from the other side, the rapid shooting of the Bavarian submachine gunmen suddenly appeared easily knocked the remaining Japanese troops to the ground, stepping on their unstiff bodies. Under the cover of the dark night, the young men of the Storm Commando continued to develop in depth with their weapons in their hands.
