It's been a whole day since the Kawama squadron left, but no news came back, and Yoshio Sasaki, who was sitting in the headquarters, had a bad premonition, maybe the Kawama squadron had already exchanged fire with the other party, maybe the Kawama squadron had suffered an accident at this time, or why didn't they come back with the situation, and the squadron in the kawama left with the radio. Sasaki Keio's heart was full of questions, Kawama was a young officer he valued, how could the Kawama squadron really encounter an accident, then the attack tactics of his wing had to be adjusted again.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Yoshio Sasaki received the exact news that Kawama's squadron, which had gone out to look for holes in the enemy's defensive line, had been completely annihilated, and Kawama's body was thrown in an open field not far from the Japanese defense line along with the identification cards of all the soldiers of his squadron. No one on the huge Japanese defense line found out how Kawama's corpses and those identity tags appeared, and even the few military dogs kept by the 21st Wing on the defense line did not find it, all of this was too weird, so weird that Sasaki Keio couldn't believe it.

In one day, Yoshio Sasaki organized three attacks in succession, but three times failed to break through the opponent's outermost defensive line, and every time the soldiers attacked a position 100 meters away from the opponent's outer defense line with the help of artillery fire, they would be intercepted by the enemy's heavy machine gun fire. Under the enemy's large-caliber machine gun fire, all the efforts of the 21st Wing were weak, and Sasaki Keio concentrated at least more than 40 mortars to bombard those firing points on the top of the hill, but unfortunately none of them worked, after the shelling, the opponent's heavy machine gun fire interception continued as usual, but the 21st Wing spent a lot of mortar shells for this.

This is Sasaki Keio's understanding of the enemy defense line in front of him, maybe it really needs to adjust his tactics again, and the restless Sasaki Keio passed on the situation here to the headquarters of the Fifth Division far behind. After receiving the news of the unfavorable attack of the 21st Wing, Yamamoto called a meeting of his staff officers to discuss the matter, Yamamoto was a short-tempered commander, and once delayed the military situation because of the perfunctory work of one of his officers, Yamamoto ordered the officer to apologize in public.

"A bunch of fools who have disgraced the face of our Great Japanese Empire." In the face of the failure of the attack of the 21st Wing, Yamamoto gave such an assessment, and all the staff officers in the command were silent. The 18th Division, which blocked the retreat of the Thunder Army, also fought very hard, although it had broken through two lines of defense by the enemy, it had not yet escaped by the enemy's main force. But the 21st Wing, which served as the main attacker, was so bad, and Yamamoto really didn't know how to explain this matter to Yamashita Fengfumi.

However, the 42nd Wing and the 11th Wing have already been diverted to support the 18th Division according to the orders of the division, and it is unlikely that Yamamoto wants to transfer them back now, not to mention that the 42nd Wing and the 11th Wing have also been attacked one after another on the way in, and I am afraid that they will not be able to draw troops to support the 21st Wing for the time being. "Division commander, if you can't use our special bombs, right? Didn't we use special ammunition as a means of attack in the Philippine battlefield? "One of Yamamoto's staff officers offered to use their special ammunition, which was a wake-up call for Yamamoto.

Whether it was in China or the Philippines, the Fifth Division used poison gas bombs quite a few times, and before the Fifth Division was transferred from the Philippine battlefield to Burma, Yamamoto did not hand over the poison gas bombs stored by the Fifth Division as required. "But if we use special ammunition, will Lieutenant General Yamashita agree?" Some people agree and others worry that Yamashita Fumi, who commanded the 25th Army, is a big problem, and Yamashita Fumi, who is a pure soldier, has always been unaccustomed to using poison gas bombs as an auxiliary means in battle, and he believes that soldiers should fight with real swords and guns, rather than relying on other means to achieve victory.

The hesitation of his staff officers made Yamamoto look stunned, Yamashita Fengfumi's temperament was indeed a big trouble, if he knew that the Fifth Division had used poison gas bombs in private, I am afraid that he would not have a good time in the future. But the order given by Yamashita Fengwen was to encircle and suppress this group of thunder troops airdropped in the mountains, seeing that it had been two days since the enemy had been engaged in fire, but the 21st Wing had not yet broken through the defense line of the enemy's rearguard troops.

"Order the 21st Wing to use special ammunition at the right time, I will bear all the consequences, now is a critical time, everything should make way for the completion of this encirclement and suppression mission." Yamamoto eventually decided to use gas bombs as an attack weapon, and he directly delegated the authority to use gas bombs to Keio Sasaki. Yoshio Sasaki, who received the order, was somewhat surprised, because he also knew that Yamashita Fumi's aversion to gas bombs, but he used all the means he could think of in order to win, which was not considered an insult to the status of an imperial officer in Sasaki's eyes.

Also receiving this order was Zhao Zhi, and at the same time that Yamamoto's pursuers gave the order to the 21st Wing, the monitoring point in the airborne field also intercepted the message, so when Sasaki Keio was secretly happy, Zhao Zhi, who was walking through the jungle on foot, also learned of this order. "I finally couldn't bear it anymore, I thought the Japanese army would use their poison gas bombs yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be quite enduring." Looking at the Japanese military telegram that had just been intercepted, Zhao Zhi was quite a little ridiculous.

Zhao Zhi and 400 mercenaries kept fighting between the 42nd Wing and the 11th Wing for the past two days, although they were all small-scale ambushes and attacks, but after two days of fighting, Zhao Zhi's 400 people made the 42nd Wing and the 11th Wing lose at least more than 1,200 people. If this situation continues, Zhao Zhi is absolutely sure that within three days, one of the wings will be dragged down first, and the other team will have to withdraw from the battle due to heavy casualties.

"Qian He, the brothers are tired, you take Team A and Team B to the No. 3 location to rest, the weather will be good, I and the Qingfeng troops will go to meet the Japanese troops of the 42nd Wing for a while." Zhao Zhi looked up at the leaves of the big trees around him, it was windy at this time, it was the best time for the Qingfeng troops to play, since the Japanese army had ordered the use of poison gas to attack the airborne field, then what reason did Zhao Zhi have not to strike first and use the same means to deal with the Japanese army.

Wind is the best helper of Qingfeng's troops, after a short discussion with Zhao Zhi, Tang Lei set the time for the use of poison gas bombs at night, and like the opponent's sixth division, Tang Lei planned to use the burning smoke to cover the actions of Qingfeng's troops. The scouts in Japanese uniforms quickly found the location where the 42nd Wing was assembled, and the 42nd Wing, which was disturbed by Zhao Zhi and them, had just arrived on the flank of the 18th Division, and was still a few miles away from the real battlefield. The current 42nd Wing was a little nervous by Zhao Zhi's elusive attack, and as soon as it was dark, the 42nd Wing stopped continuing its march.

Commander of the 42nd Wing, Akira Osaki Yoshikawa, thought that this would be very safe, at least to avoid the elusive attack from the enemy, but he didn't know that this time gave Zhao Zhi the opportunity to use Qingfeng troops. Not long after dinner, the wind blew in the mountains, and Zhao Zhi and his mercenaries had lived in Myanmar for more than a year and knew some about the climate in Myanmar. Every morning and evening, the wind is always blowing in the mountains of northern Myanmar, and the direction of the wind is always uncertain.

The 42nd Wing, which set off from Jingdong, was already familiar with this kind of night wind, so when the wind rose, Yoshikawa Akira didn't feel any different from usual. When the fire broke out in the middle of the night, Yoshikawa Akira suddenly felt how stupid his decision to stop advancing was, if it wasn't for the fact that he had rushed to join the 18th Division earlier in order to avoid being attacked by the other side again, maybe the current predicament would not have appeared. The 42nd Wing, which was staying in the middle of the mountain at night, was startled by the skyrocketing fire, and the sentries deployed before the camp fired warning shots when they found the fire, but the fire spread quickly, and by the time Yoshikawa Akira was woken up by the adjutant, the fire had spread to half of the mountain......

The soldiers of the 42nd Wing were not first exposed to the fire, but the smoke that drifted with the wind when the fire burned, and the smoke was not choking at first, and there was even a smell of burning trees. This made the officers and men of the 42nd Wing think that this was just a means for the opponent to use the fire to burn the camp, and Akira Yoshikawa, who commanded the soldiers to clear the buffer zone outside the camp, even laughed at the opponent's naivety. "Let's start" Zhao Zhi could clearly see from the binoculars that the Japanese soldiers who were cleaning the buffer strip were not wearing gas masks, which showed that the 42nd Wing only thought that the fire was not a threat.

Tang Lei, who was wearing a gas mask on his face, made a gesture, and the sapper who was half-squatting on the ground immediately put down the handle of the detonator, and a series of tiny explosions sounded, and a row of metal cylinders placed outside the camp of the 42nd Wing in advance was blown off the lid, and then puffs of yellow smoke came out of the cylinder. As the wind weakened, the yellow smoke in the fire mist seemed much lighter, but Zhao Zhi knew that the yellow smoke mixed with the fire mist would drift into the camp of the 42nd Wing until they were sucked into the strength of the soldiers of the 42nd Wing.

As the smoke from the mountain wind became stronger and stronger, by the time the medic of the 42nd Wing noticed something unusual, the smoke mixed with yellow poisonous gas had already enveloped half of the camp. "Poison gas, it's poison gas, wear a gas mask quickly." The medic of the 42nd Wing shouted as he frothed at the mouth of a soldier who had been cleaning the buffer strip and was brought in for treatment but was foaming at the mouth in front of him. The Japanese were experts in the use of poison gas bombs, so they naturally knew that the soldier's symptoms were caused by inhaling poison gas, but the antidote they carried was not enough to treat all the soldiers of the 42nd Wing, so Yoshikawa Akira ordered the troops to retreat to avoid the poison gas, but it seemed that it was already a little late.
