Liu Hong said with a serious face: "It is now widely recognized in the world that in 1915, at the beginning of World War I, the German army took the lead in using chlorine gas on the battlefield to attack the positions of the British and French forces, causing heavy casualties to the British and French forces and opening a precedent for chemical warfare. ”

"In fact, as early as the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, there were records of the use of chemical weapons by the Eight-Nation Alliance. When the Eight-Nation Coalition launched a general attack on Tianjin, it used "column low artillery", that is, the so-called poison gas cannon, which caused heavy casualties to the Chinese military and civilians, and the Eight-Nation Coalition was able to successfully capture Tianjin. ”

When Liu Hong said this, a trace of anger appeared on his face, and then he continued: "However, chemical weapons were used on a large scale during World War I. During World War I, Britain, Germany, France and other countries released a total of 124,000 tons of chemical warfare agents. After tasting the sweetness of poison gas warfare, European and American countries rushed to develop chemical weapons first, and successively developed more advanced chemical weapons. However, because these gas bombs were so cruel, international conventions later banned the use of chemical weapons. ”

Liu Hong continued: "At present, whether it is Germany, Italy and Japan of the Axis powers, or Britain and the United States of the Allies, there are a large number of poison gas bombs, but in World War II, European countries did not use poison gas bombs on a large scale. This is not only because of the restrictions of international conventions, but mainly because both warring sides have chemical weapons, and both sides are prepared, so that a situation of mutual containment is created. As soon as the other side is prepared, the use of poison gas bombs will not have the intended effect, but may be retaliated by the other side, which can be said to be more than worth the loss, so on the European battlefield, the two sides have reached a tacit understanding, basically not to use poison gas bombs. ”

Liu Hong's face became gloomy when he said this, and he said word by word: "In the entire Second World War, the only country that really engaged in long-term, organized, and large-scale chemical warfare on the battlefield in violation of international law was Japan. And Japan only used chemical weapons on a large scale on the battlefield in China, why? Now that Japan and Britain and the United States are at war in the Pacific theater, why do they dare not use chemical weapons against Britain and the United States and other countries, but dare to use chemical weapons unscrupulously against Chinese soldiers and civilians on the Chinese battlefield. ”

"The little devils used tear gas and sneezing (vomiting) gas for the first time in the Battle of Shanghai in August 1937, and since then the Japanese army has used poison gas on various battlefields in China, especially since the Battle of Wuhan in August 1938, the Japanese army used poison gas more unscrupulously and began to use the highly toxic erosive poison gas mustard gas and Lewis gas."

"Why don't the little devils dare to use gas bombs against Britain and the United States and other countries, but dare to use gas bombs against China unscrupulously? Why? Liu Hong then asked.

"The reason is simple!" Liu Hong continued: "The little devils dare not use poison gas bombs against Britain and the United States, not because they are afraid of the so-called international law, let alone the so-called international public opinion. Rather, they are afraid of retaliation, because they know very well that the chemical weapons of countries such as Britain and the United States are much more advanced and powerful than them! So they did not dare to use chemical weapons against Britain and the United States. ”

"But China is different, our industry is backward, and we can't produce chemical weapons at all, so the little devil doesn't have to worry about retaliation from China at all! The little devil used poison gas bombs on us, and we have no choice but to condemn the devil's atrocities in the newspapers! But what's the use of condemnation? Except for grabbing some sympathy, there is no use for fart! That's why the little devil is so unscrupulous! If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and this is not bad at all! ”

When Liu Hong said this, he felt heartache, sighed softly and said: "Now that half of our country has fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders, we cannot rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves, and only when we unite as one, completely defeat these invaders, and completely drive them out of China, can we realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and not be bullied by imperialism." ”

Speaking of these sad things, Liu Hong's emotions were inevitably a little excited, Liu Hong restrained his emotions, waved his hand and said: "I just said too much, and I digressed, let's get down to business!" ”

Bai Ling asked weakly: "The devil's gas bomb is so powerful, and we don't have any gas bombs, can we only be beaten passively?" ”

Liu Hongqiang squeezed out a smile and said: "We really don't have gas bombs, and what's even more sad is that we don't even have some of the most basic anti-gas appliances such as gas masks." But Endo Kanan brought the chemical troops this time, and brought so many poison gas bombs, which were obviously used against us. We can't sit still. ”

Liu Hong continued: "Although the gas bombs are powerful, as long as they are prepared and the soldiers wear anti-gas equipment, these gas bombs are almost not lethal. However, we do not have anti-poison equipment, so we can only rely on the existing conditions to make some simple anti-poison equipment. ”

Liu Hong paused, and then said with a serious face: "Now we are not sure about the specific model of the poison gas bomb used by the devil this time, so we can only plan for the worst." As far as I know, the most powerful gas bombs of the little devils are erosive poison gases like mustard gas and Louis. This kind of poisonous gas is very powerful, inhaling a small amount may kill you, and as long as it is lifted to the skin, it will cause poisoning and cause skin erosion, which can be said to be quite powerful. ”

Liu Hong took a deep breath and continued: "Immediately order all the troops to collect all the towels, as well as bed sheets, quilt covers and other things, and distribute them to all the soldiers, no one should carry at least two towels and a sheet or quilt cover." In addition, I had to carry a large amount of water, at least two pots of water per person, and we had to transport our buckets and tanks to all positions on the front line, and filled them with water for me to spare. ”

"Once you find that the little devil is using a poison gas bomb, immediately cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, and in addition, you must wet all the sheets and covers, wrap the whole body, and ensure that every inch of skin, even a finger can not be exposed, and wrap Lao Tzu tightly to avoid poisoning. This can effectively reduce the probability of poisoning, and we must remind the soldiers that they must be vigilant, once they find that the shells fired by the devils are different, it must be poisonous gas, and the above measures should be taken immediately to avoid poisoning. ”

Wu Feng carefully recorded every word of Liu Hong, and hurriedly said: "Yes!" I'll order them to prepare. ”

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said, "In addition, we must also make other preparations, and we must not be beaten passively." ”
