Chapter 110 Hatan fights Hukou again

Hatan Shigeichi was furious by the counterattack of the Ninth Preparatory Division. He could not tolerate being defeated by the Zhongzhang team again and again. While angry, he was also shocked by the tenacity of the Zhongzhang people. "If you can't continue like this, you have to consider using poison gas bombs." The major general secretly made up his mind.

In order to maintain the "glory" of the brigade, Major General Hatan finally decided to use poison gas bombs. At the front of Shizhongshan, the attacking Japanese army secretly transported the poison gas bombs to the artillery positions, and all the Japanese soldiers preparing to attack were wearing gas masks. The Japanese artillery positions were very lively, and the artillery carefully sent the special symbols into the mortar port, and the "bang bang" sounded. For the first time, the Japanese army only used mortars today, but did not use mountain cannons or howitzers.

The shells were pushed to the ** position. The ** soldiers on the position unexpectedly discovered that the shells fell to the ground and did not explode, but "hissed", and green smoke and yellow smoke came out. The alert leader Wu Yan shouted: "No! The Japanese devils use poison gas bombs! Cover their mouths and noses with wet towels!"

Fortunately, the leader Wu felt it was early and prepared a lot of water in the tunnel. The brothers wet the towel with water, took off their leggings, and wrapped them around their mouths and noses.

Commander Wu's heart suddenly lit up, "Damn the Japanese, why don't I take a plan and beat him up?"

Commander Wu ordered a battalion brothers on the position to lie quietly behind the bunker and in the trenches. When the Japanese came up, they suddenly opened fire and taught these turtle grandsons a lesson.

Hundreds of brothers, quietly waiting in their own battle positions, staring at the front of the position with concentration.

Today, there is no wind, which is a good day for using poison gas bombs. After the poison gas bombs fired by the Japanese army exploded, all the poison gases emitted were accumulated on the ** position. Because the density of poison gas is greater than that of the air, the more poison gases gather in the lower part of the mountain. Gradually, the poison gas on the position floated and gathered to the low-lying parts of the mountain. The concentration of poison gas on the position decreased a lot. Fortunately, the poison gases in the Japanese army were mainly mustard gas at that time, and wet towels could basically effectively deal with these poison gases.

Sato from the first brigade of the Japanese Taiwan Brigade at the foot of the mountain wanted Colonel Sato to rush forward a little anxiously. Major General Hatan Shigeichi shook his head slightly, "Sato, don't worry, let the poison gas soak for a while to build the man. Let's just occupy the position." The Major General seemed confident. Colonel Sato had to suppress his restless heart and wait for the Major General's orders quietly.

Hata waited until the poisonous gas accumulated in the ** position for more than 40 minutes before waved his hand gently, "Sato, please go out with your troops!" Sato "Hai" bowed deeply to the major general, turned around and issued an offensive order.

The deputy captain of the First Brigade led two squadrons in bulky protective suits and headed towards the Shizhongshan position one step deep and one step shallow. These Japanese soldiers thought that the Chinese were poisoned to death by poison gas, so the pace of progress was not very fast, as if they were traveling around.

When the Japanese soldiers approached the ** position, the regiment commander Wu still did not order the shooting. Until only 20 meters away from the ** position, the Japanese soldiers vaguely saw the Chinese soldiers lying on the ground. Haha, all the Chinese were dead. They no longer cared about maintaining their combat formation and rushed forward, all wanting to be the first warrior to occupy the ** position.

Seeing the Japanese army's dense formation, Commander Wu Yan stood up suddenly with a light machine gun in his arms, pulled the trigger with his fingers, and a slender tongue of flame shot at the Japanese army accurately. As Commander Wu's arms swung gently left and right, the machine gun was scattered with bullets on the fan, and the Japanese soldiers were knocked down when they touched it.

The gunshot is an order. While the regiment commander opened fire, the soldiers on the position fired the bullets from their gun chambers at the targets they had already chosen. The dense and sudden firepower hit the Japanese army that was close to the point as a living target. The veterans of the soldiers basically did not need to aim and fired at them.

Even the new recruits fired excitedly. At such a close distance, most of the new recruits were dirty. When they shot a Japanese soldier with their own hands, they unconsciously became veterans. Such a battle is an excellent lesson for the new recruits, which enhances their self-confidence and reduces their fear of fighting. Most of the new recruits said, "The Japanese are just like this. My bullets penetrate his forehead."

These Japanese troops have been in trouble for eight lifetimes. They originally thought they would occupy the position smoothly. Now, the dense formations have become the best target refining opportunity under the fierce close-range shooting of the Chinese. The firepower net rushed over in a fan. At such a close distance, the Japanese army had no chance to dodge, and many people were shot and killed in a daze.

Some Japanese soldiers who were quick to react raised their guns and fired at each other. However, although their bulky protective suits prevented them from being attacked by poisonous gas, they affected their combat flexibility. Before they could raise their guns and aimed at them, the bullets of the man in the middle penetrated his body.

The Chinese people were so happy that they were not as happy as they were. Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were not in good condition, they quickly ran down the mountain. However, their bulky protective suits made them stagger. The Chinese people chased the Japanese with guns and beat them on the butt. Some of them had a flexible legs and feet, and they didn't even use bullets, and directly inserted bayonets into the Japanese vest nest with bayonets.

None of the Japanese in the two squadrons went back alive. Commander Wu Yan ordered to quickly pack up the Japanese weapons, collect all the ammunition, and take them back to the position.

Major General Hatan Shigeichi's face turned green. He originally thought that he could easily occupy the position without any effort, but he didn't want to steal chickens and lose a handful of rice. He was caught off guard by the Chinese defenders' tricks, and none of the Japanese soldiers from the two squadrons came back. The major general could imagine how his soldiers were massacred by the Chinese.

"Blasting! Shoot me, and you must flatten the Chinese people's positions!" the major general shouted hysterically.

In a moment, the sound of "shushing" artillery shells breaking through the air was like a shrill ghost howl, cutting through the sky, and white smoke slid towards the ** position. "Boom" one after another, and the Japanese artillery concentrated its firepower to bombard Shi Zhongshan.

In the top position on the mountain, Commander Wu and his brothers hid in the tunnel and allowed the Japanese to bombard him. In the cradle-like tunnel, the soldiers tightly stuffed their ears, hugged their guns, and silently waited for the Japanese army to vent their venting and started the attack.

The artillery bombardment for more than 60 minutes consumed a large amount of Japanese shells, but it also shattered the main position of Shizhongshan, and the entire mountain was almost flattened. However, Major General Hatan, who had repeatedly fought with the Central ** team, did not rush to attack his soldiers. The vicious Major General Hatan, after the Japanese artillery fire stopped, was probably rushing to the position, and he ordered a large number of incendiary bombs to be fired.

** Hearing that the Japanese cannons stopped bombarding, they rushed out of the tunnel and entered the position. But the position was in a mess, the trenches were filled with sand and soil, and the stone walls on the edge of the trenches were blown up and collapsed. Everyone was cheering up and preparing to resist the Japanese attack, suddenly, the sound of "shushing" shells broke through the air, and some brothers shouted, "Come into the tunnel, the Japanese have fired artillery again!"

So the brothers quickly stood up and ran towards the tunnel. Then, more and more shells fell on the positions. "Huhuhuhu" these shells did not explode, but burned a big fire. The fire was evil and could burn even if it was stained with stones. Many Chinese soldiers didn't know what this thing was, and they felt a deep sense of fear in their hearts.

After all, Commander Wu is an official and has seen some worldly things. "Brothers, don't get caught in this fire. This is a burning bomb, and the body of the bullet is napkin. If it gets caught in this fire, don't splash it with water. The more you splash the fire, the stronger the fire. We can only bury it with soil."

Before he could finish speaking, a fire bomb fell near him, and the splashed sparks were stained with his clothes. In an instant, the fire burned his clothes. Commander Wu hurriedly lay down and rolled on the ground. The smart brother next to him grabbed the soil on the ground and sprinkled it on the commander, finally destroying the fire on the commander's body.

Several brothers were unlucky and were surrounded by the flames after the explosion of the incendiary bomb. They could not rush out and were burned to death. The other brothers were taken into the tunnel by the regiment commander to avoid the incendiary bombs.

On the position, the fire became bigger and bigger, the stones were burned red, the ground was roasted hot, the weather was already hot, and the tunnel was even more stuffy and uncomfortable. At this time, Commander Wu discovered that his tunnel was ignoring the ventilation function. The thick smoke from the incendiary bombs drilled into the tunnel, choking the soldiers to cough constantly. Some weak soldiers were almost exhausted by the scorching heat.

The regiment commander, who had no choice but to do anything, was anxious. A soldier said, "Captain, can you still cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel and minimize the thick smoke you sucked in."
