"Baga, Chief of Staff, what exactly do you want to say? What I want you to know is that how to solve the difficulties that our army is currently encountering is not for you to analyze for me past examples, but for the future. At this moment, a roar from General Tada interrupted the chief of staff, who wanted to continue.

"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, here are the specific tactics I want to talk about" Seeing Tada's angry eyes, the chief of staff quickly stood up from his seat.

"Your Excellency, I think we want to stop the Reading Division from continuing like this, with the current strength of our army. It should also focus on the harassment of small troops, constantly harass the Biang Sutra in the base area of the Reading Division, and at the same time, give a large number of casualties to the Reading Division, accumulate large ones with small ones, and slowly weaken the military strength of the Reading Division. The chief of staff replied loudly.

"Nani? Scratch, did the chief of staff forget what he just said so quickly? The commander, Lieutenant General Tada, said contemptuously.

"Hi, Your Excellency, I don't mean any ordinary harassment. There is a clear difference in the tactics of General Hebin Sanyuan. Please take the lead and finish your remarks, and do not rush to conclusions. Seeing Lieutenant General Tada, whose face was full of contempt, the chief of staff was also annoyed for a while, and replied unhappily.

"Huh? It's not the same kind of disturbance, okay, chief of staff, in that case, I'm going to listen to the chief of staff's tactics today, what's different? Lieutenant General Tada Jun still said with contempt on his face and disbelief.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. I don't know if Your Excellency the Commander knows that among all the weapons and equipment in our empire, there is one kind of equipment, which was used by our North China garrison army except when it attacked North China. In the following reigns, especially for a year, it was basically not used? The chief of staff nodded and asked.

"What, and the equipment that hasn't been used? Chief of Staff, is there any secret equipment in our army that cannot be achieved? Listening to the chief of staff's question, Tada Jun frowned and said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander, it is true that there is still a piece of equipment in our army that has not been used in North China for more than a year. Moreover, all this equipment is stored in various ammunition depots. The chief of staff nodded and replied.

"How is it possible, with secret equipment, why are the individual units not put into service? In particular, the Fifth Division of the Great Empire that was wiped out by the Reading Division. Tada Jun still didn't react, and asked puzzled.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's not that the individual units don't want to put it into use. Rather, the use of such weapons requires your consent, Your Excellency the Commander. When the 5th Division was completely destroyed, because all communications were completely cut off, the division commander Itagaki Jun did not get approval, and in the end he did not use this weapon of mass destruction. The chief of staff explained.

"Nani, I want to think about the chief of staff, are you talking about the poison gas bombs that have already been equipped with my North China garrison?" Listened to the explanation of the chief of staff. Lieutenant General Tada finally reacted and exclaimed loudly.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, I'm talking about poison gas bombs. Now the whole of North China has entered autumn, and it has entered the season where poison gas bombs can be used. I think that if we give each small unit that is responsible for sorties, it will be equipped with a certain number of poison gas bombs. I think that even if they were besieged by several times the troops of the Eighth Route Army, they would be able to destroy them all in the end and achieve the final victory. What's more, we can also use the poison gas bombs in our hands to deter the Eighth Route Army's Reading Division," the chief of staff showed a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, this idea is very inhumane and hurtful. However, for the sake of the future of the Empire, I, Tada, have been charged with this cruel crime. Chief of Staff, I now agree that all units of the North China Garrison Army can use poison gas bombs. At the same time, everything is left to you. I hope that this time, the chief of staff, will not disappoint me, I am here, waiting for your good news? The commander Lieutenant General Tada Jun also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and ordered loudly.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander, I will certainly live up to your high expectations. In the shortest possible time, put the telegram in front of you. Hearing the order of the commander, Lieutenant General Tada, the chief of staff replied with excitement on his face.

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, go and do something. I'm right here, waiting for your good news? Lieutenant General Tada nodded and ordered.

And less than a day after Tada Jun made up his mind, Jinzhong County, which was on the edge of the base, unexpectedly drove out two squadrons of little devils early in the morning. Two squadrons, more than four hundred little devils, with two infantry guns. Under the leadership of a Shaozuo captain, he walked out of the gate of Jinzhong County and headed for the Eighth Route Army base north of the county. And the ultimate goal of their trip was to base the area in Fengjiazhuang, where the first division of the Reading Division provided by the military intelligence organization and the headquarters of the Third Reading Regiment were located.

"Your Excellency, Captain, for a month, the Taiyuan Command has been ordering us to stand by and wait for reinforcements, prohibiting any troops from attacking and entering the base area of the Eighth Route Army. Why did you suddenly let us dispatch two squadrons of troops today to attack the base area of the Eighth Route Army's Reading Division? A squadron leader, after handing over the command of his squadron to the deputy captain, urged the horse to come to the captain's side and asked respectfully.

"Hase-kun. Early this morning, His Excellency the Wing Commander conveyed to me the order of the Taiyuan Command. Order the forces of our two squadrons to attack at once, and make sure that we carry gas masks and an infantry artillery squad attached to the wing headquarters. However, Hase-kun, haven't you noticed that the equipment of this infantry artillery squad is different from other artillery? Seeing his confidant, the captain didn't hide anything and revealed the news he knew.

"But, captain, we have only two squadrons of troops, even with the assistance of two infantry guns from the infantry artillery squad. However, in the face of an elite infantry regiment of the Fengjiazhuang Reading Division, we are not their opponents at all, besides, if Fengjiazhuang is attacked, I think the reinforcements of the Reading Division will definitely arrive within an hour and surround all our troops. press in the Fengjiazhuang area, and completely wipe out," Squadron Leader Captain Hagatani asked, still puzzled.

"Hase-kun, don't underestimate the two infantry guns behind us. Today, even if there are more reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, it is no match for our two squadrons. He looked at the two infantry guns behind him that glowed with blue light. A smile appeared on the corner of the captain's mouth, and he said confidently.

"Nani? Your Excellency, Captain, how is it possible, just how much of a difference can two infantry guns make? Captain Hase still exclaimed incredibly.

"Hase-kun, have you forgotten what I just said, the infantry artillery squad specially attached to this wing headquarters is not the same as ordinary artillery. Have you forgotten the gas mask you were carrying on your back? The captain replied meaningfully.

"Gas masks? Your Excellency, Captain of the Gas Bomb Brigade, could it be that the ammunition carried by the infantry artillery squad is a gas bomb? Captain Hase, the squadron leader who reacted, exclaimed.

"Yo Xi, Hase-kun, for the victory of this battle, we have carried a hundred rounds of poison gas bombs. I believe that with these weapons, the Eighth Route Army Reading Force is no longer our opponent. Let's look forward to the battle together! The captain let out a sigh of emotion.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain. I believe that with the assistance of these weapons, the elite imperial army of our two squadrons will definitely win the final victory in the end. "Seeing that the captain has confirmed his guess. Squadron Leader Captain Hase's face was also full of excitement.

"Yo Xi, Hase-kun, return to your command position immediately. At the current pace of march of our army. After two small yes, we can reach Fengjiazhuang. So, you have to be ready to fight at any time. The captain nodded and ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain."

And the little devils of more than 400 people in the two squadrons just walked out of Jinzhong County. In the shortest possible time, the reconnaissance personnel of the Reading Division and the intelligence personnel lurking in the county seat of Jinzhong sent the news to the general headquarters of the sub-district through various channels and handed it over to Commander Sun Xingbang.

Seeing the information that the communications staff officer of the telegraph room had just handed over to him, Sun Xingbang, commander of the 1st Division, who had already completed the reorganization of the troops, was very happy: "Lao Zhao, it's been a month, this little devil can really hold back. We suffered such a big loss in our hands, and there was no reaction at all. However, now I finally can't hold it anymore and start acting. Lao Zhao, there are only two squadrons of little devils, let's fight! It is also possible to let the newly reorganized troops practice their hands and experience real positional warfare. ”

"Old Sun, let's not discuss this issue first, don't you think there seems to be something strange about the little devil's dispatch of troops today? Just two squadron of little devils, he was not afraid of death and rushed towards the regimental headquarters of our third regiment of reading force. Didn't the commander of the army know that his two squadrons were nothing at all in front of our 3rd Reading Regiment? After reading the telegram in his hand, political commissar Zhao Dahe was not as excited as Sun Xingbang, but calmly analyzed.

After listening to the words of the political commissar, Sun Xingbang was also silent. Soon, though, he seemed to have made up his mind. "Lao Zhao, no matter whether the little devils have a conspiracy or not, after all, these more than 400 little devils are also a piece of fat in our eyes, and we can't stop eating them when they are all in our mouths. My idea was to order the 3rd Regiment of Reading Force to find a suitable terrain and use the tactics of ambush to eat the little devils of these two squadrons. At the same time, the other units of the 1st Division immediately entered a state of alert and were ready to reinforce Fengjiazhuang at any time to meet any unforeseen needs. ”

"That's all it takes, grandson, I hope it's the two of us who are too careful. In this case, let's give an order to the Reading Force 3rd Regiment, let them prepare as soon as possible, and in the shortest possible time, eliminate the little devils of these two squadrons. After listening to Sun Xingbang's order, political commissar Zhao Dahe also felt that this was the safest, and immediately agreed.

"Okay, then we'll send a report to Zhong Wei, the commander of the Third Reading Regiment, and ask him to prepare for battle and eliminate the two squadron devils who invaded." Commander Sun Xingbang nodded and ordered.

And just like that, an hour passed. The 122 battalions of the 3rd Reading Regiment led by the regiment commander Zhong Wei, as well as the artillery company and heavy machine gun company directly under the regiment. A total of more than 1,000 people had already been ambushed next to a highway less than three miles away from Fengjiazhuang, quietly waiting for the arrival of the army.

Soon, just when the soldiers were stunned, the army appeared in front of everyone. However, at this time, although the Yue army had experienced several defeats in a row in front of the readers, their arrogant hearts did not change at all. The force of more than 400 people, only a hundred meters in front of the team, sent a group of sharp soldiers. The rest of the soldiers were all neatly lined up, marching forward with neat steps.

"Order all troops, be ready for battle, no one is allowed to shoot without my orders." Seeing the little devil, Zhong Wei couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, hurriedly loaded the pistol bullet in his hand, and ordered loudly to the correspondent behind him. At the same time, a pair of eyes are intently looking at the little devil who is getting closer and closer.

Although the encirclement of the three regiments of Reading Power was close at hand, the little devils of the two squadrons lined up more than 300 meters long did not find anything. Still under the leadership of the captain, he drove towards the encirclement of the soldiers with high spirits. Slowly, two squadrons and more than 400 little devils finally completely entered the ambush circle of the fighters.

Seeing the little devil who was getting closer and closer to him, Zhong Wei, the regiment commander as the commander-in-chief, also showed a trace of excitement in his psychology. Slowly, he aimed the crosshair of the barge gun in his hand at the little devil who was closest to him. The corners of his mouth also showed a confident smile, and he shouted loudly: "Comrades, don't save bullets, give me a fight"

"Bang bang bang" regiment commander Zhong Wei quickly pulled the trigger of the shell gun in his hand. The little devil closest to him, without accident, was shot several times in his body, and he was honored to be the first little devil to die in this ambush battle.

"Da da bang bang" followed by the sound of Zhong Wei's gun, more than a dozen light machine guns of the 12 battalions of the 3rd Reading Regiment, as well as all the heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company, and the sound of mortar guns ejecting from the chamber. Due to the carelessness of the little devils, more than 400 soldiers, in the first round of intensive strafing by the fighters, the little devils of the two squadrons were swept to more than 100 people in an instant.

But face yourself surrounded. The remaining more than 300 little devils didn't seem to be in a hurry, and under the command of the captain and the two squadron leaders, they quickly formed a simple fortification centered on the two infantry guns. At the same time, with the help of the corpses of the fallen soldiers, the construction of bunkers began in the rain of bullets of the soldiers. At the same time, all light machine guns, riflemen also began to return fire in the shortest possible time. More importantly, the grenadiers that the army was proud of began to fire grenades one after another at the positions of the three regiments on both sides.

"Order the artillery company to knock out the grenadiers of the little devil for me immediately, and quickly" I saw the soldiers around me, one after another, being blown to the ground in the continuous shooting of several grenadiers of the little devil. At the same time, the light and heavy machine gun positions, which had just been constantly spewing out dense tongues of fire, also began to be eliminated one after another in the attack of the little devil's grenadiers. The regiment commander Zhong Wei, who was reluctant to consume the shells again, was ruthless and ordered loudly to the communicators beside him.

With the departure of the communicator, the artillery position not far behind the regiment commander Zhong Wei immediately sounded the sound of a dull mortar cannon being ejected. Immediately afterwards, a dense burst of explosions broke out on the grenadier position of the army. Through the telescope, Zhong Wei could clearly see that the 12 grenadiers that were still firing grenades just now had lost one-third of their artillery company in one round of firing.

However, to the frustration of the artillery company, the speed at which the grenadiers of the little devils were transferred was too fast. Just when the second round of shells of the artillery company was fired at the grenadier position just now, the few remaining grenadiers of the little devil had already shifted their positions. And in the shortest possible time, grenades began to be fired at new positions, continuing to fire grenades at positions on both sides.

And just as the infantry on both sides were engaged in a fierce battle, the two infantry guns surrounded by the little devils in the middle also began to move. With the help of grenadiers and the opening of the artillery batteries of the three regiments of Reading Power firing at each other, the two infantry guns, with the efforts of dozens of little devils, pointed the muzzles of the two infantry guns at the two flanks of the entire encirclement. At the same time, different shells were also stuffed into the muzzles of these artillery personnel wearing gas masks.

"Boom Woo Woo Comrades, the shelling of the little devil heavy artillery, quickly hide" heard the shelling of two infantry guns, and the whistling of shells across the sky. Commanders at all levels, who felt the shells flying towards their positions, shouted orders to the soldiers who were shooting at their sides.

And just when the soldiers heard the order, they hugged their heads tightly with both hands and lay on the ground, two shells also landed. However, to the surprise of the fighters, the shells that fell on the positions did not explode as the fighters imagined.

"Comrades, keep shooting, it's a dud" Seeing that the shell did not explode, the company commander, who had just conveyed the order, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and shouted an order to more than a hundred people in his position. However, just as he turned around and was about to shoot, a puff of yellow smoke suddenly appeared from the shell that had just landed.
