Chapter 437 - Launching a Gas Bomb

When the Japanese puppet cavalry units attacked, Iwata Fumizo sent alert troops on both sides, and these alert troops were to prevent the Chinese troops from attacking on the flanks.

But even Iwata himself did not expect that there was no longer any garrison on the Chinese artillery position, and that the Chinese troops, who were still desperately resisting yesterday, would disappear overnight.

At this time, Iwata Fumizo couldn't help but think of the strange disappearance of the two puppet cavalry divisions, and he felt that the disappearance of the defenders on the Chinese artillery position must be related to the disappearance of the puppet cavalry division.

"Taijun Iwata, the people nearby are gone, and now the troops of the Eighth Route Army have taken the initiative to give up the artillery position, there must be a trick in this."

Yan Yong came to Iwata Bunzo and looked at Iwata Bunzo in front of him, Yan Yong had a solemn expression on his face, and he said softly.

"Mixi, your judgment is very correct, there must be a conspiracy among the Chinese troops, and two cavalry squads will be dispatched for reconnaissance, and I must find the Chinese troops."

Iwata Fumizo looked at a Japanese soldier next to him, and he said with a serious expression.

The Japanese soldier nodded, and he immediately called two Japanese second lieutenants to his side, but before he could deliver the order, shells began to appear from the sky.

As the cannon sounded, the shells had already fallen to the ground at this time, and Iwata Fumizo reacted very quickly, he immediately jumped off the war horse and quickly lay on the ground.

Most of the Japanese cavalry made the same moves as Iwata Fumizo, and I have to admit that these little devils are indeed well-trained.

Even when the 1st Reserve Regiment encountered artillery bombardment, it may not be able to evade the Japanese army so quickly.

The faces of the puppet cavalry became panicked, and they saw a Japanese cavalry lying on the ground one after another, and they also hurriedly jumped off their horses and made the same action as the Japanese cavalry.

The Japanese Saito Brigade, which was about to come to the artillery position, also began to lie on the ground, trying to avoid the attack of shrapnel after the explosion.

It's just that the shell fell on the ground, but Po Adan did not explode, let alone shrapnel flying, so naturally there was no air wave after the shell exploded.

But puffs of yellow smoke began to spread from the shells, and the puppet cavalry looked at this yellow smoke curiously, they didn't know what it was.

Even the Japanese cavalry couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when they smelled the yellow smoke, these Japanese cavalry suddenly woke up.

"Gas bombs, bring gas masks quickly." A Japanese captain shouted loudly, and his face turned as pale as paper.

After hearing the sound of artillery, the first reaction of the Japanese captain was that the Chinese troops were preparing to carry out carpet shelling here, and he lay on the ground to dodge, but he never expected that the Chinese troops would actually fire poison gas bombs.

The yellow smoke began to spread around, the smoke spread rapidly with the air, and the puppet soldiers who were the first to inhale the smoke began to react, their eyes continued to flow tears, and there was also a red rash on their bodies, and the feeling of **** all over their bodies came, and they kept stretching out their hands to scratch.

The Japanese troops quickly began to wear gas masks, but many of these Japanese soldiers inhaled poisonous gas, even if they wore gas masks, but the gambling gas had quickly spread through the blood, and some devil soldiers began to fall to the ground and scream in pain.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Japanese puppet cavalry began to fall to the ground, they wailed in pain, and this place instantly became like hell.

A Japanese lieutenant took out his southern pistol, pointed the muzzle of the gun at his head, pulled the trigger directly, and chose to kill himself.

The poisonous gas continued to spread, and the Japanese puppet army troops quickly withdrew in a panic, and when they escaped from the smoke area, Chu Hongwei's third cavalry regiment, Yin Jinshan's armored company, Wang's sixth garrison regiment, and Qian Zhongming's independent first regiment were already in full array.

The sound of light and heavy machine gun fire continued to sound, and the bullets rained down on the cavalry units of the Japanese puppet army.

GRENADIERS, 60MM, 82MM MORTARS, 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, AND ARTILLERY OF DIFFERENT CALIBERS BEGAN TO FIRE, AND ONE SHELL AFTER ANOTHER HIT THE RANKS OF THE JAPANESE PUPPET ARMY.

Rows of Japanese puppet cavalry units began to fall to the ground, their faces full of painful expressions, these Japanese puppet army troops encountered a strong firepower.

In 20 minutes, the Japanese puppet cavalry paid more than 300 casualties, and more than 100 puppet cavalry simply threw away their weapons, and they obediently raised their hands and chose to surrender.

The infantry began to stop attacking, and the cavalry, led by armored vehicles and tanks, began to flank the Japanese puppet cavalry from both sides.

This is already a battle without any suspense, the Japanese puppet army cavalry encountered two infantry regiments, a cavalry regiment, and an armored company to intercept them, and it was completely impossible for them to break through.

However, hundreds of infantry of Saito's brigade quickly chose to evacuate to the west, and they broke through safely, but they wanted to cross the Zhujiachuan River and return to the north bank, which was not a simple matter, because the artillerymen of the artillery company had already blocked the Zhujiachuan River.

Waist Zhuang Town, the headquarters of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army, Chief of Staff of Shaozo stood in front of Momoyo Kunomura, and his face showed a somewhat solemn expression.

Looking at the content of the telegram in his hand, Chief of Staff Shaozuo didn't know for a while whether he should continue to read it, this telegram was issued by Yang Xinghua in the name of the colonel of the First Reserve Regiment, and the so-called telegram was naturally a clear-code message, which could be received by any radio station.

"Detachment leader, there is smoke on the south bank of the Zhujiachuan River, according to the observation of the artillerymen, this is a poison gas bomb, and the artillery guesses that the Zhina troops are very likely to have used poison gas bombs against the cavalry wing. At present, the situation is still being verified, detachment commander, but according to the report of the first reserve brigade, the poison gas bombs of the mountain artillery brigade did not have time to leave when they were attacked, and it is very likely that these poison gas bombs fell into the hands of the Chinese troops. ”

At this time, a captain's staff officer came to Kunomura Momoyo, and he reported softly.

When the chief of staff heard the news, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, he looked at the message, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Yang Xinghua's telegram is to tell the little devil that the first regiment in the reserve also has poison gas bombs in his hands, as long as the little devils dare to use poison gas bombs, then the first reserve regiment will naturally also use poison gas bombs, and this time the use of poison gas bombs against the Japanese puppet army cavalry is Yang Xinghua's revenge on the Japanese army.

"Eight Ga Ya Road." Kunomura Momoyo said in a cold tone, and he slapped his right hand the table in front of him.

"Order the First Reserve Brigade of Hequ County, the Second Reserve Brigade ......" Kunomura Momoyo wanted to give an immediate battle order, but before he finished speaking, a Japanese lieutenant hurriedly ran in.
