905. The Japanese Army Uses Poison Gas

In Sangou's troops, many people compete to be machine gunners, although they know that machine gunners are a very dangerous branch of the army, and they are the main targets of devil mortars and heavy machine guns.

But despite this, everyone still hopes to become a machine gunner, even if it is for a while, but the machine heavy needs not only skills, but also a certain size and strength.

After all, even if it is a Czech light machine gun, it weighs another twenty pounds, and in the process of continuous firing, the strong recoil causes a strong shake, and it is difficult for a person with little strength to control such an iron guy.

But this machine gunner can't just be a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs, and in the process of firing, he needs a lot of skills and actual combat experience.

The playing style and operation method of short point shooting and long burst shooting are different, the combination of the two is also different, and the number of people who face the devil is scattered and the dense play style is also different.

In short, there are quite a lot of roads in it, not simply grabbing the bolt and firing wildly, so that there is not so much ammunition consumption, and secondly, it is easy to become the target of the enemy's shells.

But no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, the lure of the Heavy comes from a large number of kills, which makes those bloodthirsty warriors yearn for a single machine gun shot.

Like this machine gun concentrated firepower, it is a great opportunity once in many years, watching the devils die painfully under their own hands, which makes these machine gunners even more excited.

Now it's worth it even if you die, shit, kill devils like this, if you come here from time to time, you will feel like living in heaven for the rest of your life.

The suicidal charge of hundreds of Japanese troops could not take advantage of the third battalion at all, and this kind of charge without firepower could only be effective under the premise that the other side did not have much firepower.

In the face of the soldiers who kept falling and dying, the Japanese commander had to give the order to retreat, and as soon as the three dogs saw the devil retreating, they immediately ordered the seventh and eighth companies to seize their forward positions.

The first round of attacks was suspended at sunrise, but the fighting continued here and again throughout the Wanjialing area.

The 3rd Battalion took advantage of this gap to continue to seize the time to repair and strengthen the position, even though it knew that it would be bombarded by Japanese artillery fire later, but it still had to go all out to do it.

No matter how fierce the Japanese artillery fire is, it cannot completely destroy the position, not to mention that the supply of artillery shells by the Japanese army has been significantly reduced, and it used to be normal to bomb for half an hour, but now it is generally more than 10 minutes to make a show.

Also, don't underestimate the construction of this fortification, it is the second life of the soldiers, and if the fortifications are built well, how many lives can be saved.

Sangou they opened a special course in the military academy to build a city, that is, fortifications, which can be seen that it is enough to pay attention to it in the army, and this time the division also sent an engineer battalion to the positions of various battalions and companies to inspect and improve, so that everyone has learned a lot of things that are experts.

Now the whole army has implemented the three dogs and their tunnels, the 19th Division's clay pot foxholes, and the 60th Army's bench tactics, and now the soldiers of the three battalions of the three dogs are rushing to dig clay pot holes.

This kind of foxhole is small and large, and the three dogs have improved it, opened it behind these foxholes, and dug a communication trench to connect them.

In this way, the originally dead foxholes were brought to life, because the soil layer left at the entrance of the cave was relatively thin (I didn't dare to leave it too thick, for fear of being blown up and burying myself.) Just add a movable plank to it.

In this camouflage, this foxhole became a good place for the shooters to shelter, and at the front of the second line, the three dogs dug up many of these foxholes.

Some excellent shooters lived in it, almost living in it, someone would send food over, and sleep in it, and when the plank on it was pulled, even ordinary shrapnel could not splash it.

Of course, every morning before dawn, all companies called people to call them out, and everyone hid in the tunnel together to avoid the bombs of the devil's plane.

That bomb, good guy, one weighs more than hundreds of pounds, if you hit one, any foxhole bunker will be blown up into the sky, or hide in the mountain tunnel to be safe.

While everyone was building their positions, the devil's cannon began to scream, and when the first shell hit the hillside, the company commanders of each company pulled up their throats and shouted to the brothers to hide from the artillery.

But this time, the Japanese artillery was not as fierce as before, but sparsely fired, and the shells were not so loud, as if they were stuffy farts, and after the shells came down, a thick cloud of smoke rose.

Could it be that the devil wants to shoot smoke bombs to cover the charge? No, smoke bombs are not so sparse and do not create the effect of smoke. Sangou was puzzled, suddenly thought of something, and shouted loudly:

"Poison gas, quick, quickly tell the brothers to prevent poison." Sangou yelled at several communications soldiers, who immediately picked up the gas masks in the corner and rushed out.

When a communications soldier wearing a gas mask that resembles both a pig's head and a dog's head appears in front of the various company headquarters, there is no need to convey orders, everyone already knows that the devil is venting poison gas.

But at that time, even in the elite units of the Central Army, not everyone was equipped with gas masks, at most they were platoon commanders, squad leaders and the like, and many soldiers did not have them.

There are many tricks for the soldier to use to prevent poison, generally covering his nose and mouth with a wet towel, and sticking soapy water with a wet towel, most of the soap at that time was called "solar soap".

If there is no these, some herbs similar to Houttuynia cordata found by monks in the Seventh Company are put in the mouth and chewed, there is really nothing, and the cooking class will also prepare some garlic heads, each person will bring a little, chew it and put it in the mouth and nose and wrap it with a towel.

If none of these are available, remove the helmet, soak it in urine and drink it, or wet the towel around your mouth and nose, and use the ammonia (ammonia) component in the urine to reduce the degree of poisoning.

These are what Yang Muhua and her gang of military doctors told everyone, in short, in the absence of gas masks, everyone has their own magical powers.

However, these auxiliary anti-poison things can only prevent some ordinary poisonous gases, such as tear-jerking phenylchloroacetophenone, vomiting biphenyl arsenic chloride and biphenylcyanide arsenic.

At that time, it was very dangerous when the Japanese army used erosive mustard gas and Lewis gas, asphyxiating phosgene, potassium chloride pyridine and cyanic acid gas.

As long as it is infected with mustard seed poison, the severe ones will die, and the light ones will have rotten feet and swollen legs, which is difficult to treat. Yang Muhua's field hospital received a soldier whose feet were infected with mustard poison from the Japanese army, and the feet were swollen like winter melons, which had been festering, and could only be amputated in serious cases.

However, in the field in broad daylight, those asphyxiating poisonous gases are rarely used, and the effect is not obvious.

No matter what kind of poison gas the devil used, Sangou was very worried, and asked everyone to strictly implement the anti-poison measures in the previous drill to avoid non-combat attrition.
