In the evening, the command of the 36th Army.

"Commander-in-Chief! I didn't expect the little devils to use gas bombs on us! ”

Seeing the telegram just sent by Wu Youqing, commander of the 9th Column, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, was full of emotion.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded, Zhang Yunfei still knows a lot about the little devil's gas bomb, in his previous life, Zhang Yunfei, as a top student of the National Defense University, still knows a lot about the history of World War II.

In particular, Zhang Yunfei is very familiar with the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the crimes of the little devils in invading China, including the use of poison gas bombs, the 731 unit of the little devils, and so on.

Therefore, this time the little devils used poison gas bombs against their own troops, although it was the first time that the little devils used poison gas bombs against the 36th Group Army, but Zhang Yunfei was not surprised.

If the little devil had never used poison gas bombs on the 36th Group Army, that would make Zhang Yunfei feel strange.

In order to guard against poison gas bombs from little devils, Zhang Yunfei not only briefly introduced various poison gas bombs in the training manual of the 36 th Group Army, but also explained simple preventive measures.

The Datong Arsenal also produced some gas masks, and some units of the 36th Army were also equipped with a small number of gas masks, such as tank units and mechanized troops, and each combat vehicle was always equipped with several gas masks.

Zhang Yunfei thought, it seems that in the future, the little devils may also use poison gas on their own troops again, and the number of gas masks equipped by each unit is still seriously insufficient, and it is best to have a gas mask in the backpack of every soldier.

So, Zhang Yunfei said in a deep voice to Fang Zheng, deputy director of the General Political Department next to him: "Old Fang, it seems that our arsenal still has to hurry up the production of another batch of gas masks, and the produced gas masks will be distributed to the soldiers immediately. ”

"Yes! This time, the little devil's gas bomb did not work, but instead caused himself heavy casualties, but there is no guarantee that the little devil will not use the gas bomb on us again in the future. ”

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, also looked worried, and immediately agreed.

Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department next to him, was in a good mood, and when he saw that everyone had finished speaking, he said with joy on his horse: "Commander-in-chief, every one of our soldiers must be equipped with gas masks, but this time, the little devil lifted a stone and smashed himself in the foot, and the little devil was a field infantry wing, and all of them had the opportunity to die under their own poison gas bombs. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly, and also suggested: "Comrades, since the Anti-Japanese War, the little devil has repeatedly used poison gas bombs against our squadron, this time, the little devil has made such a big ugly, we must let it be exposed, so that the name of the world will be known." ”

"In this case, let the 'Voice of Datong' report on this incident immediately, and then let our war correspondents take some photos of the little devils after they were poisoned, and the "Datong Daily" will set aside a certain page in the next two days to report on the use of poison gas bombs by the little devils."

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, everyone was happy, and thought in their hearts, this time, the little devil not only poisoned one of his own wings, but also made this ugly thing known to everyone in the world.

The more people think about it, the happier they feel.

Sure enough, when the 'Voice of Datong' reported this incident, people across the country immediately knew about it, and people across the country felt very relieved that so many people had finally died under their own gas bombs.

When the 'Voice of Datong' first reported on this incident, the little devil was so angry that he was angry to death, but he still quibbled, and in turn said that it was the 36th Army that used poison gas bombs against its own troops.

However, as the later "Datong Yuebao" reported this incident in detail, with a large number of detailed photos, illustrated and illustrated, and the evidence was conclusive, the little devils were suddenly dumb.

When the people of the whole country and the international community saw these photos, they were in an uproar and despised the little devils.

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, all of which happened in the next few days, and now, the command of the 36th Group has received two more telegrams from the front.

There was a telegram, still from the 9th Column, which said that at present, the large force of the 9th Column had reached the outskirts of Tangshan, and the troops attacking from the four directions of Tangshan had broken through the second line of defense of the little devils and annihilated more than 7,000 enemies.

The second telegram was sent by the special combat units in Tianjin, which said that the 71st and 72nd Divisions of the Little Devils had landed at the port of Tianjin and had begun to advance in the direction of Tangshan.

After reading the telegram, everyone was filled with joy and sorrow, and the happy thing was that the 9th column attacked smoothly, had broken through the second line of defense of the little devils, and annihilated more than 7,000 enemies; The worry is that the two divisions of the little devil reinforced the 39th division of the little devil, and he only had one column in Tangshan.

Zhang Yunfei looked around at everyone, looked at everyone's expressions, and saw that everyone showed worried looks, Zhang Yunfei nodded lightly, fully understanding everyone's worries.

But at this time, Zhang Yunfei's heart is more firm and confident, the more in the face of the war, the firmer and more confident Zhang Yunfei tends to be, often Zhang Yunfei's confidence is full, and it will slowly infect everyone.

This time, Zhang Yunfei also looked resolute, and waved his big hand: "Comrades! It seems that the little devil is menacing, dispatching two divisions at a time, but we don't need to worry too much, we have heavy troops stationed in Qinhuangdao, and we can also send reinforcements. ”

After a little contemplation, Zhang Yunfei began to give orders: "Order! The 10th Column moved in the direction of Tangshan, and the 9th Column suspended the attack on the 39th Division of the Little Devils. ”

After speaking, Zhang Yunfei was full of pride.

Hearing this, the worries in everyone's hearts gradually receded, and in their place were pride and confidence.

On the highway from Tianjin to Tangshan.

The long line of little devils, with torches or flashlights, winds with no end in sight, and the little devils are marching in the direction of Tangshan.

These are the two divisions and regiments that the little devils have just landed in Tianjin today, and there are tens of thousands of little devils, and the vanguard troops are only 50 or 60 kilometers away from Tangshan, and the rear troops are still not out of Tianjin.

It seems that the two of them are full of confidence in coming to China to fight, even if they know that they are facing the 36th Group Army next, the two commanders of the little devil division have no worries and anxiety.

The little devils are all a virtue, and before they have been defeated or hit hard, the little devils are arrogant and arrogant, and they look like no one in their eyes.

These little devils are the same, from the division commander to the ordinary soldiers, they are basically the same.

Tangshan, the headquarters of the 39th Division of the Little Devils.

The commander of the Little Devil Division, Suesaburo Kawada, was convening a meeting of a group of little devil officers, and the little devil officers present were diametrically opposed to the little devils of the 71st and 72nd Divisions who came to reinforce them, and these little devil officers were all depressed and expressionless.

Suesaburo Kawada, the commander of the Little Devil Division who was sitting high in the center, looked at the group of little devil officers in front of him hanging his head in frustration, and Suesaburo Kawada's face was also quite ugly.

Now, the second line of defense of the little devils has been completely lost, and more than half of the little devils have suffered casualties, of which more than 10,000 have been annihilated, and only a few thousand people can still fight, and the rest of the little devils are either seriously wounded or auxiliary or non-combatants.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Our division has reached a critical moment, and whether we can hold the third line of defense, I will ask you. ”

After saying that, Suesaburo Kawada stood up and personally bowed to the group of little devil officers.

It seems that the commanders of the little devils' divisions are also very anxious now, the troops of the 36th Group Army will soon be in the city, and the little devils lack confidence in their eyes, worrying that the third line of defense will also be broken.

As long as this last line of defense is broken, the 39th Division of the little devil will have only one fate, that is, the entire army will be annihilated.

"Hey!"

A group of little devil officers, seeing their division personally bowing, all stood up one after another, bent down and shouted in unison, but the voice of the little devil officer obviously seemed to be lacking in energy and uneven.

As soon as the little devils sat down, a little devil communication soldier actually ran in and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, division commander, our forward troops have sent back news that the 36th Group Army outside the city seems to have stopped attacking, but is only confronting us from a distance. ”

"Oh! Reliable messaging? ”

Hearing this, Suesaburo Kawada immediately asked rhetorically, not caring at all that when this little devil communication soldier came in just now, he neither shouted a report nor saluted himself.

"Your Excellency, it is absolutely true that several units have already sent back such news, and in addition, the vanguard of the two divisions that reinforced us is only fifty or sixty kilometers away from us."

"Yo Si! It's just wonderful. ”

Hearing this, Suesaburo Kawada swept away his previous anxiety and uneasiness, his face was happy, and he was in a good mood.

Suesaburo Kawada believes that now that the 36th Army outside the city has stopped attacking again, and a large number of reinforcements are coming soon, then his 39th Division is completely worry-free.

No wonder, Suesaburo Kawada's mood will be in a good mood immediately.

The little devils present also became proud of themselves when they heard such good news, and raised their heads one after another.

But the development of the next battle situation completely made the little devils dumbfounded.
