At that time, the Austrians did not make mustard gas bombs, and the production capacity of gas bombs was much inferior to that of the Germans, and they used chlorine gas bombs at this time, so they were often not lethal when the enemy was prepared. Wang Maoru asked for these gas masks and distributed them to his subordinates in line with the principle of taking advantage of the coalition forces as much as he could, and he really saved everyone at this time.

Surprisingly, the Austrians did not take the opportunity to attack, and everyone was a little surprised. Later, it turned out that although the Italians on the opposite side had more than 50 gas bombs, they only had 20 gas masks, and because of the defense of Lake Idro, the enemy could only take motorboats and fishing boats to pass through the shallow lake, and the Italians used 122 mm heavy guns to fire gas bombs, which could not be loaded on ships at all. If the 122-mm heavy gun was placed on the ship, and only one shot was fired, the speedboat would have to capsize. Therefore, the Austrians did not think at all that the enemy would use gas bombs, and did not prepare several gas masks.

Soon, the poison gas was diluted and dissipated by the wind blowing from the lake, and when the Austrians saw that the poison gas was gone, they charged again with their guns.

The Austrians thought that they could take advantage of it, and when they sent more than 400 people close to the Chinese position a hundred meters, they were suddenly met with a fierce counterattack by the Chinese, and the automatic fire in the various trenches was fired in unison, and the Austrians were stunned. A hundred meters is a very awkward distance, if the enemy does not have so many automatic weapons, they will definitely continue to charge, but the opponent has so many automatic weapons, the Austrians lie on the ground and do not know what to do. Just as he hesitated, the Chinese mortars fell in front of the position, the Austrians lost more than two hundred corpses and ran away, and the attack after this gas bomb lost more people than before.

After a while, the platoon commander Han Xu came up with Zang Hao and others to support him again, and Han Xu shouted, "Where's Lao Fu? ”

Feng Lao Fu took off his mask and coughed a few times. said, "Mom, it's suffocating me." ”

Ren Bench shouted, "Platoon commander." He Shouxin died. Everyone was taken aback and gathered around, only to see He Shouxin's eyes widen, his throat was broken with both hands, bleeding, and the gas mask was thrown aside. Han Xu said angrily: "Didn't anyone sue him that no matter how itchy his throat was, he couldn't take off his gas mask?" Wang Fugui threw himself on He Shouxin and cried: "Lao He, Lao He, how can you die, didn't you say that you would get rich together and go back to marry your daughter-in-law?" Why did you go before me? ”

Zang Hao said on the side: "Platoon commander, these two soldiers were assigned to our squad yesterday, and they haven't had time to teach them, and besides, we haven't encountered them when they use poison gas bombs." ”

"You fucking let the dog dig out your brain? Haven't used it with us, have you used it with the Italians? Have you seen it yet? Han Xu asked.

"Yes."

"That's it. You don't know what the Austrians do? Han Xu scolded. You, when you go back, write a report and admit your mistakes. ”

"Yes."

The rest of the people felt a little unfair, and Long Ergou said: "Platoon leader, I don't want us squad leaders to do this." ”

"Shut up." Han Xu said, "It's dead." Do you think you can pull it? ”

"Yes." Long Ergou had no choice but to shut up, and there was only the sound of Wang Fugui crying on He Shouxin's corpse on the battlefield of Nuo.

At this time, Wang Maoru, the temporary headquarters of the Chinese Participating Army in Lodrone Town, heard the news from the battlefield of Lake Idro that the 3rd Marksman Regiment of South Rotil released a poison gas bomb when it was fighting with the 14th Brigade of its side, and was taken aback, and said: "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

Yong Xingbao said: "Because Xue Xinghua brought more than 1,000 gas masks before, the losses were not very severe, more than a dozen people were killed by poison gas, and more than 60 people were unable to fight due to the sequelae of inhaling poison gas. The place where the Austrians fired poison gas bombs happened to be the 14th Brigade, Xue Xinghua's baby. Put all the gas masks here. So the Austrians unfortunately kicked on the iron plate, and if they threw gas bombs at the replenishment regiment, we would be miserable. It is estimated that at least 1,000 people must have died. ”

Wang Maoru was full of anger and said: "Bastard, we have suffered a loss without poison gas bombs." He frowned and said, "Maleon, send a telegram to the Bologna Command." Let's ask the command to equip us with poison gas bombs. ”

Yong Xingbao smiled bitterly: "Xiushuai, I'm afraid that the Italians won't agree, the gas bomb has always been under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters." ”

Wang Maoru said: "It's their business whether to give it or not, let's invite credit, you know?" Let's just say that our gas bomb killed and injured more than 1,000 people, so written, did Ma Liang remember it? The Italians have to compensate us a little, damn it, rob us of our credit, and have to give us some sweetness. ”

"Yes." Ma Liang immediately went down to send a telegram.

After a while, Qiao Sanbang, the commander of the Guards Regiment, ran happily and said, "Xiu Shuai, grab Haupbenstock, catch him." ”

Wang Maoru jumped up and laughed, "Where is it?" ”

"Escorted outside."

"Let's go, let's see."

The commander of the 73rd regiment, Haubenstock, was also unfortunately searched out of the local people's cowsheds by the squadron, and he also sorted out his appearance, saying that as a nobleman, he should be treated with due respect. It's a pity that the squadron has no precedent for preferential treatment of prisoners, and after being caught by a company of the Guards Regiment left by Wang Maoru, he was beaten up, and then he was caught in despair. A company of men and horses searched the town for a day and a night, just to arrest him, and he didn't even have time to rest, and he was already angry. At this time, Haubenstock also asked for preferential treatment, and the Chinese gave her a steamed bun and was actually thrown by him, and everyone was angry and punched and kicked, at first Haubenstock still had to protest, and then protested and howled directly.

After catching Haubenstock, he brought it to Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru smiled when he saw this, and said, "Peiyu, this is Haubenstock?" You tell him, let him explain the information, and I will give him preferential treatment. ”

Yongxingbao then talked to Haupbenstock for a long time, and then Yongxingbao said: "This kid has suffered enough, and he is afraid to provide a message, saying that it is the news of a poison gas bomb." ”

Wang Maoru's eyes widened and asked, "Gas bombs?" He was jealous of this thing, and asked, "What's the news?" What's the news? ”

Yong Xingbao said: "He said that because the 18th Division of the 17th Army was not the elite of the Austro-Hungarian army, the headquarters allocated 1,000 rounds of chlorine gas bombs to the 18th Division in order to increase the combat strength of the 18th Division, but the gas bombs were not near the town of Lodrone, but in other places. He will take us there. ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Okay, this information has been said." Guardsmen, be kind to him, enjoy the treatment of generals as prisoners of war. ”

Haubenstock ate a beautiful meal and took the Chinese to find the remaining 950 poison gas bombs, which were fired from Skoda 1914 100mm howitzers, but the Austrian artillery battalion was blown up by the Chinese the night before yesterday, and four Škoda howitzers were destroyed.

Wang Maoru walked to the gas bomb, and the captain of the guard, Deng Zichao, hurriedly said: "Xiushuai be careful, these things ...... It's too dangerous. "Indeed, the mere sign of the hole on the gas bomb is scary enough, and nine hundred and fifty gas bombs are piled together. It is enough to poison Wang Maoru more than a thousand times.

"There are no cannons. By the way, Qi Dian, let's see if we have a 100mm cannon that can be fired. Wang Maoru said.

Among the adjutants, Qi Dian is in charge of recording, and this person is incompetent. But as an adjutant, loyalty is more than enough, and after turning it over for a while, he said regretfully: "No." ”

"Fuck, there's a cannonball and there's no cannon, what's the matter?" Wang Maoru cursed.

Ma Liang smiled on the side: "Why don't we take down the hundred howitzers of the 3rd Marksman Regiment of Southern Rotiel?" ”

Yong Xingbao said: "In this case, we will have to eliminate the third shooter group of South Rotiel, which is not in line with the plan we made before." ”

Ma Liang said: "No wonder Haobenstock told us so generously, it turned out that he had calculated that we don't have a cannon, this deflated only son." ”

Wang Maoru also nodded. said: "Forget it, you can't let the brothers take such a big risk again, these gas bombs, keep them for now, and give them to the Italians." By the way, go back and talk to the Italians. Ask them for a gas bomb, hehe, we can't do without gas bomb technology. ”

Despite the fact that there were nearly a thousand rounds of gas bombs, there were no howitzers to fire gas bombs, and the staff officers were very depressed, and then the Italian army reached the Lodrone plain with great speed, which was not at all what they had been accustomed to. Even before the gas bombs could be hidden and taken away, they had to be handed over to the Italians. The Italians also did not have cannons of this caliber, and it was extremely difficult to transport gas shells in the mountains.

And because the Lodrone Plains belong to the valley terrain, if it is destroyed, it is very likely that a lingering poisonous fog will form in the valley, which is not worth dealing with everyone.

But fortunately, Wang Maoru's artillery actually repaired two 100mm howitzers overnight, and Wang Maoru had people pull them to the southern front by car and handed them over to Xue Xinghua, who demanded that Xue Xinghua must beat all the 950 poison gas bombs to the third marksman regiment of South Rotiel. With a thousand shells, train qualified artillery......

The use of poison gas bombs to train artillery is a shame that people like Wang Maoru can think of it.

Xue Xinghua was excited and shouted, young men, didn't the Austrians smoke us with poison gas bombs in the last two days? This time we'll smoke them.

The two 100mm howitzers were Skoda 1914 10cm field howitzers, year of production or service: 1914

Calibre...... Barrel Chief...... Up and down shooting angle: +8 degrees ~ +50 degrees

Horizontal angle of fire: 6 degrees

Projectile weight ...... kilogram

Muzzle velocity of ammunition...... M/s

Weight: 1350 kg

Maximum firing range: 8000 meters

Okay, Xue Xinghua let people disperse, leaving only machine gunners and submachine gunners in front, wearing gas masks and putting a sink next to them, in case of an accident (headwind) immediately splashed water to escape.

The 3rd Shooter Regiment of South Rotier did not expect at all that the opponent would have a poison gas bomb. What they didn't expect was that they only had one cannon and no shells, while the other party actually had two cannons and kept firing gas bombs.

After more than 200 poison gas bombs were fired, the other party raised the white flag, and Xue Xinghua, chief of staff of the Fourth Division, turned around and asked: "Xiushuai means that they have all been launched?" Did you ask what would happen if they surrendered? The other officers shook their heads and said they didn't know, Xue Xinghua said, "In that case, keep throwing it." "Less than a hundred gas bombs were fired after a day, after all, there were only two cannons, and the barrels were red, so I had to rest for the night. Early the next morning, Xue Xinghua sent soldiers to visit, and found that the 3rd Marksman Regiment of Southern Rotil was almost completely wiped out, and several places of resistance were also weak.

The 14th Brigade of the 4th Division then charged along all fronts, and soon some of the Austrians who tried to resist were killed, while others did not even have the strength to surrender. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )rv
