"Search from the Japanese!" Li Qinglin shouted.
A Japanese soldier in the trench in the distance, who was blown into a blood gourd, was holding a grenade that had pulled out of the insurance and was about to struggle to climb up. Li Qinglin raised his hand and shot him to death. After waiting for a few seconds, the grenade in the Japanese hand did not explode. It might be that he had not had time to activate the grenade on the hard object. Li Qinglin touched the grenade and reached out to find several grenades from him. He held a grenade in his hand, pulled off the insurance, and then knocked the grenade hard on the buttstock, and waited for two or three seconds before throwing it out in the direction of the Japanese.
The Japanese grenades were not as lethal as the national army's m24 grenades, but they were just right in such a small space in the trenches. The soldiers also looked like Li Qinglin to search for grenades from Japanese corpses, and then used the Japanese grenades to bomb the Japanese.
The close-killing forces no longer require any strategy and tactics, but only the close-killing forces fight to the death. After a fierce attack, all the Japanese troops in the fortification were destroyed and the positions were captured by the Second Battalion.
The guns and cannons stopped, and the soldiers began to search for spoils on the Japanese corpses. Suddenly, the Japanese army on Qingshui Spike began to fire again, and the whistling sound of shells passing by came from the air.
The shells landed on this small position and on the position of Fenglishan. But strangely, there was no explosion. Instead, there was a "hiss" sound at the bounce point, and thick yellow smoke rose.
"The Japanese's poison gas bomb!" Li Qinglin shouted.
Chemical poison gas bombs are not new weapons. They were widely used in World War I. Because of their huge lethality and extremely inhumane harm to humans, international law explicitly prohibited their use on the battlefield after World War I. During World War II, the war madman Hitler only used it in concentration camps that massacred Jews, and even when Germany was about to lose, it did not use it on the battlefield on a large scale. In the entire World War II, Japan was the only country that really carried out chemical warfare that violated international law on a long and organized basis on a large scale on the battlefield.
However, Japan, a perverted country, is moving against the trend. They use chemical and bacterial weapons that are despised by the world as their trump card. Since the 1920s, the Japanese Navy and Army have invested a lot of manpower and material resources for research and production, and have used them on a large scale on the Chinese battlefield. The Japanese army has a wide variety of chemical poison gas weapons, in addition to poison gas bombs and artillery shells, there are also poison gas cylinders, cloth poisonous vehicles, gas cylinders, cigarette smoke tanks, gas boxes, etc.
There are three types of Japanese troops engaged in poison gas warfare: field gas troops, combustion brigades and temporary smoke brigades. Field gas troops and combustion brigades are professional Japanese gas troops, which can carry out large-scale poison gas attacks; temporary smoke brigades are temporary poison gas attack troops in infantry, which can release poison in local areas.
Field gas troops became a permanent branch of the Japanese army, and poison gas became a necessary equipment for the Japanese army. In order to cover up the use of chemical and bacterial weapons, they named this ammunition "Special Smoke".
Poison gas bombs have actually been brought. Some time ago, either the climate conditions were poor, which would affect the release effect, or the Japanese army was in an offensive advantage, and there was no need to use poison gas bombs at that time, so the Japanese army had not used it.
This time, the Japanese army did not expect that the 10th Division would kill one of their teams with one charge and take away such an important position. The Japanese army was so angry that the shameless weapon of poison gas bombs was taken out.
The poisonous gas was "hissing" and soon spread around. Some soldiers who could not dodge inhaled the poisonous gas and began to cough violently. But the more they coughed, the more poisonous gas they inhaled, they finally got flushed and could not breathe, and their bodies became soft as they saw it.
Li Qinglin hurriedly shouted: "The Japanese have bombed the poisonous gas, cover their mouth and nose with a wet cloth!"
For the flexibility of the body, the soldiers would throw away everything except weapons and ammunition before charging, and they didn't bring anything like a kettle. Some soldiers cried and shouted: "Squad leader, there's no water, we're dead this time!"
Li Qinglin cursed: "If you don't carry water on your body, you won't look for it on the Japanese? See if there is any in the Japanese kettle."
Since they were defending positions, each of the Japanese soldiers basically carried a kettle on their bodies, and there was also drinking water in the fortress of the Japanese army. Everyone quickly tore a piece of cloth from their bodies and wet them with water, and then covered their mouths and noses.
The level of poison gas produced and dispensed by the Japanese army at this time was incomparable to that of Europe and the United States. The ones they used the most were sneezing and vomiting poison gas. Now the Japanese army was using this type of poison gas to the position. As long as they covered their mouths and noses with a wet cloth and did not directly inhale poison gas, the poison gas bombs did not have a great impact on people.
World War I has proved that large-scale poison gas can kill soldiers who are stuck in the trench at the lowest cost. The Japanese army not only wanted to kill the officers and soldiers of the National Army, but also wanted to regain their positions. With the launch of poison gas bombs, the Japanese army on Qingshui Spike began to rush here.
The mortars of the Kuomintang army on Mount Tailing began to fire, and heavy machine guns also began to fire. They were blocking and firing the Japanese army on the attack.
Hearing the sound of gunfire, Li Qinglin leaned out and looked out. A group of yellow people were pressing towards Qingshuijian. This was the Japanese army pressing over. Looking back at Fengshu Mountain, there was also a cloud of smoke on the trenches of the National Army. Only heavy machine guns arranged a little further were firing, and other positions were silent.
Revenge is the biggest feature of the Japanese army and the most basic psychological characteristic of the island country with few people. They used poison gas this time to retaliate.
Li Qinglin sighed in his heart. The Chinese army did not pay enough attention to the Japanese gas war. Not to mention that there is no special gas mask for equipment, the army even had very little basic gas training. It seems that the officers and soldiers on the main position are in danger.
In fact, the current meteorological characteristics are not the best time to distribute poison gas. There is still a slight wind on the position. After a period of time, the poison gas on the position was blown away by the small wind.
The Japanese army was approaching, and the company commander who led the team to rush in tied the wet cloth around his mouth and nose, waved his pistol and ordered loudly, "Hurry up! The Japanese are coming up, prepare for battle!"
The soldiers who were still alive on the position took action, and each found a position under the command of their own squad leader, set up weapons, and prepared to fight at any time.
The Japanese army fired poison gas bombs just now. Although he reminded the soldiers in time to make preparations, one of the new recruits in one squad inhaled some poison gas, and now he was lying on the ground and couldn't get up at all. Three fell down on the way to charge just now, and I don't know whether they were killed in battle or were only injured. Li Qinglin counted the remaining personnel in his squad. Even with him, there were still nine people who could fight.
Three grenade launchers were left on the Japanese position, one of which was broken, and two were still good. In order to defend the position, the Japanese army equipped a large amount of ammunition. Li Qinglin took a grenade launcher and brought a large number of grenades to throw.
The platoon leader hugged the box and touched him with a bandage on his head, and it seemed that he had been injured just now.
When the platoon leader saw Li Qinglin, he asked him: "How many people are there in the first squad?"
Li Qinglin said: "There are nine people in my family."
"Teach me a few people, there are only nine people in total in Class 2 and Class 3." The platoon leader said anxiously.
Li Qinglin said: "I have few people here, so I can only lend you two."
The platoon leader left with two soldiers, and the Japanese were getting closer and closer. Li Qinglin whispered: "Prepare for battle!"
