The only regiment and one battalion of the Eighth Route Army launched the most ferocious attack on the auxiliary pillboxes on both sides of the main pillbox held by the devils, but the enemy relied on the strong pillboxes to carry out a frantic counterattack, and several attacks were blocked by the enemy and retreated, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that such an attack would not only fail to overcome the enemy's pillboxes, but would also cause heavy casualties among the troops, regimental commander Li Gang ordered Zhao Sicong, commander of the artillery company, to pull up the mortars, and in order to strengthen the destructive power of the artillery shells, under the cover of the infantry, the artillery positions were pushed forward, and the closer they were, the more powerful they were.

Zhao Sicong personally led several powerful mortars to approach the enemy's auxiliary pillbox, and when there were still more than 30 meters away from the enemy's pillbox, under the enemy's powerful firepower counterattack, it was impossible to move forward, so he immediately adjusted the artillery position, and strived to start shelling the enemy's pillbox in the shortest possible time.

The two devil squad leaders who assisted the bunker found through the lookout hole that the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army had advanced the artillery position to less than 50 meters from the bunker, and he immediately reported to Ikeda in the main bunker in horror: "Squadron Leader Ikeda, the Tu Eighth Route Artillery Position is less than 50 meters away from our bunker, and once the cannon is fired, I am afraid that our squad will all be shattered in the explosion, so I ask the squadron leader for reinforcements." ”

"Bastard, the bunkers built by the Imperial Japanese Army are impregnable, you don't concentrate your firepower on the artillery positions of the Tuba Road, you must lock the infantry on the Tuba Road as the target of the attack, and you must block the attacking Tuba Road fire thirty meters away from the bunker, so that your bunker will be safe and sound, once the Tuba Road breaks through to within twenty meters, immediately release the gas bomb, do you understand?" Captain Ikeda commanded in a bottomless but forceful tone.

Li Gang saw that the artillery company had already set up an artillery position, and he ordered Zhang Ting: "Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang, when the artillery company launched an artillery bombardment on the enemy's auxiliary pillbox, under the cover of artillery fire, ordered the soldiers of the first battalion to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and destroy the enemy pillbox in one go, did you hear?" ”

Zhang Ting replied loudly: "Please rest assured that under the cover of artillery fire this time, the only regiment and one battalion will definitely be able to destroy the auxiliary pillboxes on both flanks of the main pillbox and ensure the completion of the task." ”

Zhao Sicong, the commander of the artillery company, saw Li Gang, who was standing more than ten meters away, and slashed his raised right arm down fiercely, and he suddenly shouted: "Open the artillery, open the artillery——。 ”

The fifteen mortars pushed to the forward position burst out with the roar of shells almost simultaneously, roaring and bombarding the enemy pillboxes, and more than a dozen shells flew towards the enemy pillboxes——。 ”

The soldiers of the first battalion jumped out of the concealment, holding their guns like a tiger pounced on the enemy pillbox, less than 20 meters away from the enemy pillbox, suddenly hit by fierce fire, the soldiers who rushed in front were shot and fell to the ground, and the thick black smoke that had not completely dissipated suddenly broke out a not very roaring explosion, and then one after another poisonous gas melted into the gunpowder smoke, and rushed towards the soldiers who continued to attack.

The old soldier who rushed to the front immediately smelled a choking smell, disgusting and unbearable, and the old soldier almost desperately shouted: "Stop the attack, the little devils in the bunker have released a lot of poisonous gas, quickly retreat, quickly ......." ”

In order to protect the lives of the soldiers, he fired continuously into the sky and loudly ordered the troops to retreat quickly, and the retreating lieutenant will rescue the soldiers who have been smoked by the poisonous gas.

The devil in the auxiliary bunker, when he found that the only artillery company carried out a powerful artillery strike, the devil squad leader squatted in the bunker in fright, and had realized that under the powerful fire of the cannonballs, the bunker would be destroyed in an instant, and he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands just to save his head in the explosion of the bunker, but to be alive.

In a short period of time, the shells continued to shell the pillbox, but not only was the pillbox not destroyed, but not even a hole was blown out.

The leader of the devil squad stood up with great courage and tentatively, looked out from the lookout hole, and found that the Eighth Route Army was rushing towards the pillbox with the most ferocious attack speed, and once the fire counterattack was unfavorable, the Eighth Route Army would rush into the pillbox and shoot it with firepower.

He shouted in panic: "Quick, hurry up and use the poison gas bombs, and you must poison all the attacking Tubalu outside the bunker." ”

In order to escape alive, they immediately put on gas masks and threw poison gas bombs through the perforations, and the poison gas spread for a while, filling the surroundings of the pillboxes with dark yellow smoke.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who attacked were suddenly eroded by poison gas bombs, and the soldiers who rushed in front of them inhaled too much poisonous fog shook and fell to the ground and never got up again, and the soldiers behind smelled the poisonous fog and were about to fall, under the timely order of the regimental commander Li Gang to withdraw from the battle, the surrounding soldiers dragged out the comrades who were smoked by the poison gas around them, and quickly retreated backwards.

When he saw that Zhao Sicong of the artillery company was ordering the soldiers to withdraw the mortars in a hurry, he shouted violently to the messengers around him: "You immediately convey my order to the commander of the artillery company, Zhao, and order the soldiers of the artillery company to abandon the mortars and retreat back as quickly as possible. ”

In the short time when the enemy fired poison gas bombs almost simultaneously, more than 100 soldiers were poisoned and more than 10 soldiers had lost their lives.

At this time, Lei Jian was talking to Doctor Oshima, and before he could come up with a result, suddenly the deputy head of the only regiment, Zhang Ting, rushed in, and saw that Lei Jian was talking very close to Doctor Oshima, he angrily pulled Doctor Oshima aside, and shouted at Lei Jian: "Commander Lei, the inhumane little devil released a large number of poison gas bombs, and the soldiers who attacked the enemy bunker suffered heavy casualties, what is the use of keeping this old devil?" Shoot him with one shot. ”

Doctor Oshima, who was talking to Lei Jian with a little eyebrows, was grabbed and thrown out by Zhang Ting, who rushed in like crazy, and Oshima, who fell to the ground, glared at Lei Jian angrily and said, "Chief Lei, this is what you said to be friendly to me?" That's what you said to protect me? Nonsense, I won't believe you anymore. ”

As soon as Lei Jian saw Zhang Ting's savagery and ignorance, he sprinkled the anger of the warrior poison gas bomb on Doctor Oshima, destroying the understanding he had just reached with Doctor Oshima, he stood up angrily, walked to Zhang Ting's side, raised his hand and was about to slap Zhang Ting's face, but he hung in the air and glared at Zhang Ting and shouted: "Bastard, a stupid pig who spoils my big things, because of your recklessness, you have buried all the hard work I have paid, I really want to shoot you." ”

"You, how can you, Captain Lei scold me like that? The soldiers of our only regiment were killed and injured by the devil's poison gas bomb and fainted, I see this old devil pretending to sit and talk to you gently, I Zhang Ting will not look at the enemy so casually stay out of the matter, if you, Commander Lei, see that our soldiers are poisoned to death on the battlefield, and most of the soldiers are struggling between life and death, can you still sit and talk with this old devil? ”

Lei Jian knew that Zhang Ting looked at his comrades who were killed and injured by the enemy's gas bombs, and was angry at the enemy, why wasn't he? But he was engaged in an ideological confrontation with this special Oshima doctor, in order to achieve the purpose of his thunder sword, he put in a lot of effort, and when he was about to talk about the key, he was completely disrupted by Zhang Ting, can he not be angry?

He walked up to Dr. Oshima, personally helped Oshima up, and said apologetically, "Mr. Oshima, did you hear everything?" The militarist Japanese soldiers actually violated international law and used poison gas bombs many times to kill our soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and kill my fellow villagers, this is the truth you see, I hope you can think about my suggestion carefully, and we will talk about it when I come back. ”

"Chief Lei, don't talk about it anymore, your subordinates don't treat me as a friendly person, but as a heinous enemy, I won't agree to cooperate with you, let alone say more to you, if you want to kill, you don't need such humiliation and barbarism."

"You don't need it, but you little devils killed my people, occupied my land, plundered my resources, and now you are using poison gas bombs to hurt my comrades, are these all we need? I, Zhang Ting, want to seek justice for my comrades who died in the devil's gas bomb today, you old devil go to death. ”
