HBWnovel Chapter 177 Reverse Poison Gas
Chapter 177 Reverse Poison Gas
As time went by, the wind direction in Huangya Cave began to change.
"It's time to reload the mortar and fire at the front position."
The man in the white coat ordered excitedly.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
One mortar shell after another was fired, and after flying for a while, it hit the position of the first battalion.
However, these shells did not explode, but instead quickly emitted bursts of yellow smoke that soon spread throughout the entire position.
"For the Emperor."
Outside Weng'erlang, a Japanese squadron leader shouted and led the soldiers who had been prepared long ago towards the position of the first battalion filled with yellow smoke.
It can be seen that all the Japanese soldiers in this squadron not only wear gas masks, but also heavy protective clothing.
As the squadron slowly advanced, the first battalion's position remained extremely quiet and there was no response.
Seeing this, the squadron leader was secretly happy, thinking that all the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the bunker must have died.
Six hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
Suddenly, when the Japanese squadron was 200 meters close to the first battalion's position, there was a loud sound of gunfire.
"Da da da......"
"Clap clap clap..."
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
Rifles, light and heavy machine guns all opened fire, and the unprepared Japanese squadron suffered heavy losses in an instant.
"Baga, fight back, fight back."
The Japanese squadron leader was terrified. He ordered his soldiers to fight back while retreating quickly to the rear.
They are now wearing heavy protective clothing, which not only prevents them from performing tactical actions, but also requires them to constantly pay attention to whether the protective clothing is damaged.
It can be said that he has no fighting ability at all, so he can only let his fellow Taoists die rather than himself.
But as he ran, he found something wrong. The mustard gas, which was supposed to be blown towards the depths of Huangya Cave with the wind, seemed to have life and was following him.
Not right.
The Japanese squadron leader's heart was filled with alarm, and he didn't care whether his protective suit would be damaged. He quickly dodged and dived into the pit next to him.
This time the yellow mustard gas did not follow him, but drifted towards the direction of the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army.
Looking at the rear of the Jie Zi poison gas, the Japanese squadron leader understood the reason why the poison gas moved.
I saw six armored vehicles arranged in a concave shape. In front of the heads of the armored vehicles, there was a huge fan that was constantly turning, pushing the meson poison gas forward.
Next to the armored vehicle was an Eighth Route Army soldier wearing a gas mask and wrapped tightly in cloth.
"Baga, what a cunning Tubalu."
The squadron leader cursed.
At the same time, on the runway of Huangyadong Airport, delta-wing gliders were gliding and taking off.
"It's bad, division commander."
Uchida Ginnosuke rushed into the headquarters with a pale face.
"Uchida-kun, why are you so panicked?!"
Ushijima Minoru put down the teacup in his hand and said in surprise.
"Poison gas...poison gas is back!"
Uchida Ginnosuke walked over and grabbed Ushijima Minoru and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Commander, please evacuate here first!"
"What happened?"
Although he was confused, Ushijima Minoru still followed with all his heart.
When we arrived outside the headquarters, all the headquarters staff and the Japanese squadron responsible for protecting the headquarters had already gathered.
After Uchida Ginnosuke and Ushijima Minoru mounted their horses, they began to evacuate towards Taiyuan.
"The Eighth Route Army used huge fans to blow back the poison gas we fired at them."
"Although the poison gas is slowly fading and disappearing, after calculation, the amount of poison gas is enough to advance to the position of the Third Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army."
"what!"
Ushijima Minoru was afraid, but also a little curious: "How many poison gas bombs did the chemical troops fire?"
"a lot of."
Uchida Ginnosuke responded: "I heard from the mortar soldiers who escaped that they fired at least 200 rounds of poison gas bombs."
"What an idiot."
Ushijima Minoru was stunned after cursing: "By the way, have you notified the 79th and 80th Regiments?"
"I've already notified them. I asked them to meet up with us in Licheng ahead."
Uchida Ginnosuke responded.
"That's good, let's go quickly."
Ushijima Minoru had no intention of gathering the two regiments to fight back.
Now the Eighth Route Army relied on poison gas to defeat the Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, so a gap appeared in their front.
The Eighth Route Army could do a lot of things using this gap, so the right choice was to withdraw the troops, retreat the front line, and start over again.
Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
The 79th and 80th Regiments, which were supposed to retreat, were pinned down and unable to move by delta-wing gliders that flew out of Huangya Cave.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
"Die to me!!"
The machine gunner at the rear of the delta-wing glider kept moving the muzzle of the Taihang Type 38 general-purpose machine gun and shooting at the panicked Japanese soldiers below.
The Japanese never expected this!
The attack was going well, but suddenly more than ten gliders flew out and without saying a word, dropped more than ten bombs on us.
Then more than ten small planes came with machine guns and started firing.
They were in an offensive state again, without even digging trenches or anywhere to hide.
"idiot!"
The commander of the 79th Regiment, Ichiro Morimoto, watched as his own soldiers were being cut down in large pieces by gliders in the sky like wheat.
He got so angry that he pulled out the box from his waist and fired several shots at the delta-wing glider.
"Hey, little pistol, what are you thinking?"
A delta-wing glider pilot changed direction and flew towards Morimoto Ichiro.
"Xiao Wang, do you see the guy with the pistol down there? Shoot him twice."
"Great~"
Xiao Wang turned the gun with a smile and fired two short shots.
Morimoto Ichiro below was broken into two pieces, and blood and internal organs were all over the ground.
"Let's go and continue killing other devils!"
Xiao Wang patted the driver on the shoulder and shouted.
Today is a lucky day for these glider pilots.
The Japanese army had no ability to resist and were allowed to be massacred.
"Hurry up, send a message to the division commander, tell him we can't leave, request fighter support, request fighter support!!"
Taohua Village, outside the southeast pass.
A group of Japanese soldiers hid in a mountain gorge and kept sending messages to Ushijima.
They were forced into the gorge by the delta-wing gliders of the Eighth Route Army.
Although the gliders could not get in, the Eighth Route Army would definitely send troops to attack them after clearing out the soldiers outside.
By then, they will have no way to escape.
"Captain of the Regiment, I can't call the Division Commander!"
The signalman put down the radio in his hand and looked at Kenji Suzuki bitterly.
"Baga, keep calling."
Suzuki Kenji said angrily, "Others, find materials on the spot. We will use the gorge to build a simple defensive structure."
"Hi!"
Although they knew that even if they had a position, it would be a slow death, these Japanese soldiers still actively got busy.
After all, it is better to die late than early.
As for rushing out and fighting?
Sorry, the fact that they were forced to come here means they don’t have the courage to fight.
