Chapter 886 has its own way
The officers and men of the 336 Brigade on the forward positions had a very difficult time dealing with the shells of the little devils, let alone dealing with the poison gas bombs.
In just ten minutes, the poisonous smoke of the gas bombs spread all over the soldiers' fortifications.
Many of the soldiers on the positions were so dazed by the enemy's artillery fire that they lost consciousness and had no time to prevent the intrusion of poison gas bombs.
"Be careful, it's a gas bomb !!"
"Brothers, bring a gas mask, and if you don't have a gas mask, use a wet towel!!"
The veterans on the battlefield loudly reminded the soldiers around them.
However, the gas spread too quickly in the air, and some soldiers had already inhaled it.
"Uhhh......h
Soon, the bitter sounds of the soldiers came from the position.
"My eyes, my eyes ......"
"Come and save me, Medic!!"
The soldiers who had been poisoned by the gas, blinded by the gas, cried out for help under the trenches in pain.
The officers and men of the 336 Brigade on the position fell on the position one after another.
The soldiers twitched on all fours, their mouths spitting blood, their expressions pained......
It didn't take long for nearly 100 officers and men of the 336 Brigade to be killed or wounded under the poisonous gas of the devils on the forward position. ,
The real horror of poison gas is not to kill the opponent, but to make the hostile target incapacitated.
The officers and men of the 336 Brigade had no experience in dealing with gas bombs, and they lacked gas masks, so it can be said that the soldiers on the forward positions had little combat effectiveness.
Li Hong has rich combat experience with the little devil, and his troops have also suffered losses from the Japanese army's poison gas bombs.
If the officers and men of the 336th Brigade could not match every soldier with gas masks, then once the Japanese infantry rushed up, the defenders would have no ability to resist at all.
Now that the enemy's fire is so fierce, allowing the troops to remain in their positions is simply giving them heads.
Li Hong observed the situation of the forward position, and he suggested to Zhao Wenyao next to him: "Brigade Commander Zhao, if you continue like this, the casualties of the front-line troops are too great, and the brothers have completely become cannon fodder for devils, I suggest that you immediately withdraw the front-line defenders to avoid their edge......"
Zhao Wenyao also knew that the defenders of the forward position had suffered heavy casualties, but once all the front-line troops were evacuated, wouldn't the forward position be tantamount to giving up?
The most critical thing is that as long as the 336th Brigade withdraws from the forward troops, the Japanese will establish various fire positions as soon as they take the position, which directly threatens the flank of the security regiment.
"Commander Li, my troops have withdrawn, what should I do with the flanks of your security regiment? If the Japanese artillery positions advance, the enemy's artillery fire can directly cover your positions......" Zhao Wenyao informed Li Hong of the seriousness of the problem.
The officers and men of the 108th Division would rather be cannon fodder themselves than take the initiative to withdraw from their positions and expose the security regiment to the enemy's artillery guns.
Originally, the Devil's offensive plan was to occupy the front line position of the 336th Brigade first, and then the enemy would establish a heavy artillery position to attack the flank of the security regiment.
The flank positions were the most vulnerable positions of the security regiment, which is why the enemy attacked the 336th Brigade.
Since it was impossible to break through the position of the security regiment head-on, the enemy broke through from the flank, and the tactics of the devil commander were really ruthless.
The commander of the devil knows the combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the 336th Brigade, as well as the weapons and equipment, and first occupies the frontline position of the 336th Brigade, and then attacks the security regiment, so that the enemy's casualties are the lowest.
As soon as the forward troops of the 336th Brigade withdrew, Li Hong of course knew that his defense area would be exposed to Japanese artillery fire.
However, he dared to let the officers and men of the 336 Brigade withdraw, so he naturally had a way to deal with the Japanese attack.
Li Hong put down the binoculars in his hand and said calmly to Zhao Wenyao: "Brigade Commander Zhao, you don't have to worry about the defense line of our security regiment, I am free to deal with the Japanese army attacking our defense line......"
"Be careful, it's a gas bomb !!"
"Brothers, bring a gas mask, and if you don't have a gas mask, use a wet towel!!"
The veterans on the battlefield loudly reminded the soldiers around them.
