The commander of Li Yifang used a local "poison gas bomb". The Japanese army choked and coughed all the time. He squeezed into the trenches and tried to breathe fresh air. Li Yifang, who observed this situation in the telescope, quickly asked for artillery support. The artillery group took the opportunity to launch a round of rapid fire, and precise artillery fire covered the Japanese position. The fierce artillery fire easily tore the Japanese soldiers apart, with minced meat and blood everywhere, and the splattered limbs and internal organs dancing with the explosion air waves.

Li Yifang saw that the time was ripe and ordered an attack. A battalion of soldiers rushed to the Japanese position quickly. The intermittent shooting sound came from the Japanese position, and the firepower of heavy machine guns and light machine guns was greatly weakened. The soldiers sometimes lay down, sometimes stood up and charged, constantly avoiding the bullets fired by the Japanese army. After a few leaps, the attacking soldiers approached the Japanese position. A row of grenades flew over in a burst. In the "rumbling" explosion, smoke filled the gun and shrapnel splashed. The soldiers rushed into the trenches with the smoke and dust of the grenade explosion.

The trenches were full of soldiers' grappling sounds and flashing figures. It seemed like a silent movie was being staged. The trenches were flashing with bayonets. The soldiers on both sides fought in a melee. In the narrow trenches, the rifles could not turn off at all. The Chinese soldiers simply pulled the bayonets as daggers, which was a big advantage. The long body of the 38 rifle limited the flexibility of the rifle. Some clever Japanese soldiers also took the bayonets and stabbed the Chinese soldiers. Where the blood light burst, they fell to the ground in gray or yellow military uniforms.

The second echelon of the Chinese team rushed up and joined the battle group immediately. The battle situation quickly changed. The soldiers of both sides who were in a stalemate were like two cows meeting on a single-plank bridge, evenly matched. At this time, even a mouse on either side could break the deadlock. The ** of a battalion joined the battlefield, which was an invincible force. The ** of the two battalions drove out the Japanese in the trenches, chasing them backwards. The exhausted Japanese soldiers could not escape the second echelon of the replenishment, and were soon caught up and surrounded.

Major General Jinghuxuan in Xiaoao Town saw his soldiers being chased and fought in the telescope, and ordered reinforcements one after another. Tang Enbo was not a mediocre person. The force of a division firmly stuck the position between the two commanding heights and cut off the connection between the Japanese outer positions. The Japanese army attacked several times from the town, and were ruthlessly repelled. When the major general saw the bloody bayonet pulling out of the chest of the last Japanese soldier in the telescope, his hand couldn't help but tremble. His face changed from yellow to red, and from red to white, showing that the major general's heart was struggling fiercely.

Laoshuling was captured by Li Yifang, so he immediately turned around and used local "poisonous gas bombs" to deal with Sun Jiashan's Japanese squadron. Soon, Sun Jiashan was also taken down.

In the battle for Xiao'ao, ** used dried chili shells to wipe out two Japanese corpses. Major General Ideo-chan saw ** using "poison gas bombs" in his telescope, and was shocked. In order to cover up his defeat and to remind the base camp, he immediately telegraphed the army headquarters. He said that the Chinese team ignored international conventions and used a new "poison gas", causing the Japanese Imperial Army to lose its combat effectiveness in a large number.

Lieutenant General Gangmura Nishiji, the commander of the 11th Army, received a report and held the telegram and did not speak for a long time. He did not dare to confirm the information, because in his heart he knew that only the Japanese army had used poison gas bombs in China. China's backward chemical industry and biological bacterial technology could not have poison gas. However, Major General Ikebuchi said that the poison gas bombs fired had a serious spicy and irritating smell, and unlike mustard gas, this gas could penetrate wet towels. If it weren't for poison gas, what gas could have such power?

After thinking for a long time, the Lieutenant General decided to believe that he had it rather than not. The telegram was reported to the Central China Expeditionary Army Command, and the Central China Expeditionary Army Command immediately telegraphed the base camp. The Japanese base camp urgently ordered the intelligence department to find out what kind of poison gas the Chinese were using as fast as possible.

When I came out of Xuan, Major General was forced to shrink his troops and defend Xiaoao. Colonel Weibanjiro of the 36th Regiment was busy arranging the Japanese defense. Tang Enbo stopped when he saw the opportunity and sieged Xiaoao Town. As long as the Japanese army did not retreat, he would not attack.

Besides, the Japanese Major General Hatan Shigeichi's detachment retreated to Bijia Mountain and licked his wound for several days. The fighting beast regained its brute force. When Tang Enbo restrained the attack on Xiao'ao, Hatan Shigeichi saw Chen Cheng's plan. The Chinese team attempted to use the 100,000 troops on the Ruichang line to annihilate the Ninth Division, which had been arranged in a long snake wave. Then, after succeeding, it advanced to the Jiujiang line. Even if Jiujiang is lost, the Chinese team can use the Lushan Mountains and the mountains in the southwest of Jiujiang to form a powerful defensive position and threaten the Japanese army occupying Jiujiang at all times. Force the Japanese army not to divide the troops too much. Once the troops are dispersed, the Chinese team will gather heavily, and they will bite the Japanese army without hesitation.

Although Lieutenant General Yoshisuke Ryosuke was not very popular, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was the army of the Japanese Empire after all. He, Hatan Shigeichi, at the most difficult time, Yoshisuke Ryosuke gave him time to supply and repair. The emperor still had to take into account the overall situation, and the interests of the empire were paramount.

Hatan Shigeichi secretly mobilized the main force and suddenly attacked towards Xiaoao at night. On the morning of September 4, the Hatan Detachment suddenly appeared behind the Tang Enbo Group Army. As soon as the fierce Hatan Detachment encountered a stern, he immediately launched an attack. The unprepared ** was beaten backwards. Hatan Shigeichi seized four important strongholds in a row, and stopped attacking, and stopped to build positions in a swagger, preparing to snipe **. The Japanese defenders of Xiaoao were quite tacit in tactics. After receiving a notice from Hatan Shigeichi, Major General Ide immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle. When Hatan Shigeichi attacked the periphery of **, the Japanese army of Xiaoao went out in full swing to launch a fierce counterattack.

Xiaoao's Japanese army avoided the defense zone of the 110th Division and selected the weaker Wang Jinzai's division. Major General Ideashi ordered the artillery to leave only one base of ammunition, and the rest of the shells were all hit on the Chinese positions. The Japanese artillery, who were fully prepared, fired several rounds of volleys, poured the fierce artillery fire onto the position of the New 35th Division.

The earth-shaking cannons and rain-like shells exploded. No new recruits from the New 35th Division had ever seen such a formation. Anyone who knows military knows that new recruits are afraid of cannons and veterans are afraid of machine guns. Those new recruits were so scared that their faces were bloodless when facing the shocking cannons. Some of them hugged their heads and lay on the ground without moving. Wang Jinzai kept urging the soldiers to stick to their combat posts. Judging from the formation, the Japanese were about to attack.

But these in-trained recruits did not obey the commander's orders, and they all shivered and had no courage to stand up. Watching the Japanese army rushing up, the Japanese army approached 50 meters of the position, these recruits were panicked and kept running back. Although some veterans insisted on resisting, their morale was declining after all, and they all retreated one after another. Wang Jinzai's new 35th Division was still a newly reorganized unit, which could not resist the fierce attack of the Japanese army like a wolf or a tiger. Although Wang Jinzai shot a battalion commander, he still could not stop his defeated soldiers.

Tang Enbo quickly mobilized his troops to encircle, but the ** action was half a beat slower. When the Jing came out of Xuan, Major General rushed out of Xiao'ao to siege. The Japanese army's cooperation in Xiao'ao was extremely exquisite. The timing and tactical cooperation of the two units launched an attack were quite tacit, showing the effect of the Japanese elite military policy. Compared with the ** soldiers, the tactical qualities of the Japanese soldiers were completely different.

Major General Ideo quickly met with the Hotan Detachment that was supporting him, and the two units joined forces to increase their strength greatly. Hatan Shigeichi and Ideo Risen were both relieved. The two men built a blocking position based on the positions occupied by the Hotan Detachment and slowly retreated without panic.

Just in time, Lieutenant General Yoshisuke Ryosuke's retreat order was issued, and the telegram was sent to Major General Idea. Major General Idea bowed deeply to Hatanichi: "Hata, thank you! Your vision is very unique. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to come out."

Hatan Shigeichi also immediately replied, "You're welcome, they are all emperors, and it's time to cooperate with each other in tactical ways." Lieutenant General Yoshisuke Ryosuke was wiped out one after another, and the combat effectiveness of the division was greatly reduced. Lieutenant General Komura received the battle report from the 9th Division and kept scratching his head. The Ninth Division's attack was not very meaningful to join Jiujiang's attack, and there were three divisions in Jiujiang. It seemed that he had to defend Ruichang first, wait until the troops were concentrated, and then attack westward.

Yoshisuke Ryosuke received a telegram from the military headquarters, urgently adjusting the deployment, and ordered Hatan Detachment and Major General Iide to return to Ruichang quickly and concentrate his troops to defend.

Gangcun Ningji originally wanted to attract as many troops as possible to reinforce in Jiujiang, and then encircle and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the gameplay of ** was completely out of order. He actually placed Jiujiang at the position where he could be guarded, regardless of Jiujiang's safety. Chen Cheng's tactics was very unhappy and did not fight according to the plan of the Ministry of National Defense. Chairman Jiang sent several telegrams in succession, asking Chen Cheng to concentrate his troops to defend Jiujiang. Chen Cheng was patient and sent a long telegram to Chiang Kai-shek explaining the reasons why Jiujiang could not defend to the death. The shrewd Chen Cheng understood that what Chiang Kai-shek cared about was whether he listened to his orders, so he repeatedly stated that he firmly supported the Chairman's decision. However, the battle situation on the front line changed rapidly, and he could only decide the fate of hundreds of thousands of soldiers according to the battlefield situation. And Chen Cheng took the initiative to request punishment.

Perhaps it was Chen Cheng's military achievements that moved Chiang Kai-shek; perhaps it was Chen Cheng who convinced Chiang Kai-shek that the Chairman finally stopped forcibly ordering to defend Jiujiang to the death.
