Chapter 472: The Japanese Army Cocooned and Bound Itself

However, although the troops brought by Su Yingqi arrived in time and intercepted the Japanese army that was running wildly all the way, his subordinates were extremely tired at this moment, since they went out to participate in the night attack last night, most of them did not even have food to eat.

Fortunately, he dragged the degree and pace of the Japanese retreat, and bought enough time for Gou Zaihe, who was pursuing behind, just when the Japanese army was almost about to break through Su Yingqi's interception, Gou Zaihe commanded three companies finally broke through the interception of a small group of Japanese troops and arrived in time after a fierce battle at any cost.

In the face of the current crisis, he immediately threw all three companies in his hands into the battlefield, divided the troops into three routes, and dispatched all nine heavy machine guns carried by one company, and detoured back to the front of the Japanese army's retreat route, preparing to use them as the second line of resistance.

He personally commanded the strength of two companies, concentrated all the submachine guns and light machine guns in the first echelon, attacked from behind the Japanese army, and together with Su Yingqi, he adopted the tactics of flanking the Japanese army in front of him.

With the timely arrival of Gou Zaihe, and with the arrival of the stragglers, in this small battlefield, since the Japanese army forcibly crossed the Xila Murong River, the troops of the Anti-United Nations still occupied the advantage in strength for the first time, but this advantage in strength was not obvious.

Of course, as long as there are no new Japanese troops to join in this battle, the outcome can now be said to have been decided, Su Yingqi arrived in time to drag the retreating Japanese army, and Gou Zaihe entered the battlefield in time, completely laying the situation, which made Yang Jicai slightly relieved.

Compared with the wonderful and changeable situation here, and even falling into a melee battle, the Japanese army left behind to solve it, with the help of poison gas bombs, but it was the most relaxed, these Japanese troops did not wait for the next possibility of resistance to the United Nations, or should have saved the fierce attack, but what they came was the poison gas shells made by their own country and used to slaughter the Chinese, this result was undoubtedly a cocoon for the Japanese army.

More than 1,000 poison gas shells smashed on the small position of the Japanese army that was left behind, so that this Japanese position was shrouded in white smoke in a short period of time.

Then these Japanese soldiers waited for them with almost no way out but death, and there was almost no possibility of even being taken prisoner, because no one could survive such a high concentration of asphyxiating poison gas without wearing gas masks.

Although the real lethality of these phosgene and mustard mixed shells is not too high, and the power is somewhat small compared with the erosive mustard gas, the general gas mask can be completely protected, and after use, it does not even need special cleaning and disinfection, and the power cannot be compared with what Soman, sarin, and Tabun in later generations.

However, the concentration of phosgene produced after the explosion of more than 1,000 poisonous gas shells, which was far higher than the lethal amount, coupled with the mustard gas produced by the mixed phosgene and mustard gas shells in it, made these stubborn Japanese troops lose their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

This more than 1,000 is mainly a large amount of phosgene produced by phosgene shells, and this kind of suffocating poison gas that only passes through the respiratory tract and poisons people in a short period of time quickly makes the Japanese army lose its combat effectiveness, even if it cannot be fatal for a while, but the high concentration of phosgene on the battlefield makes the vast majority of Japanese soldiers fall into shock and coma.

At present, the Japanese army believes that the Anti-Japanese Federation is completely unable to carry out chemical warfare against itself, and because the Anti-Japanese Federation has been equipped with a full range of gas masks, it basically cannot play the role they expect, so the Seventh Division did not carry any chemical weapons at all.

Because these chemical warfare equipment, which cannot play the desired role because the opponent's protective equipment is complete, it has become a burden in disguise for the Japanese army, not only can it not play a lethal role against the enemy, but also need to be cautious and careful to carry, because this thing is not only lethal to the enemy, but also to their own people.

Not only do they need special personnel and equipment, but if they lose the battle, if they are captured by the enemy, they will pose a threat to themselves, and as for whether the large-scale use of poison gas will arouse international public condemnation, the Japanese do not care at all.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Japanese, the Anti-Japanese Union did not have its own chemical industry and could not produce poison gas, which was regarded as the most powerful weapon by the Japanese army on a large scale, which made the Japanese army extremely contemptuous of the ability of the Anti-Japanese Union to carry out chemical warfare, believing that even if there were a small number of captured chemical shells, it would not be much of a danger to their own troops.

Moreover, after the Battle of Lianjiangkou the year before last, in order to prevent the Anti-Japanese Federation from repeating the scene of using their own gas shells against themselves, the Kwantung Army had already strictly ordered all divisions and regiments to use all chemical weapons in the knowledge that they would not have any effect.

It is not allowed to keep a single shell or cigarette can, because they are afraid that these chemical weapons, which they consider to be extremely powerful and used as killer weapons, will be used on themselves after being captured by the Anti-Japanese Federation again, and poison gas will be used on the enemy, which will certainly make the battle comfortable and easy, but if the unlucky object changes himself, it will not be good.

This strict order, as well as the contempt for the industrial base of the Resistance League, and the idea of not believing that the Resistance League had the ability to produce such high-end gadgets as chemical weapons, made it impossible for anyone in the Japanese army to believe that even before this battle, the Resistance League would have the possibility of a large-scale poison gas attack.

Since they had no intention of using chemical weapons, and their opponents were not capable of making and using them, the Seventh Division, except for a few people who were even ridiculed as cowardly because they carried gas masks, the vast majority of the people in the barracks threw the gas masks they were equipped with as a burden.

Since it's useless, then why bother to bring it, anyway, the Anti-United Nations doesn't have poisonous gas shells, although that thing is not heavy, but it's not too light, no, with that burden, it's better to bring more field dry food, save to the front, because of the supply of your own hungry.

However, neither the top brass of the Kwantung Army nor the Seventh Division as the direct victim could have expected that there would really be a large number of captured poison gas shells in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, let alone that when the 23rd Division actually lost the county seat of Linxi, even a warehouse of poison gas shells outside the county town was also lost.

Linxi is the key part of the so-called border defense circle of the Kwantung Army, and the Uzhumuqin grassland facing Pingchuan is extremely conducive to the rapid breakthrough of the Soviet mechanized troops, so after the 23rd Division withdrew to Linxi, it was worried that the 23rd Division would be retaliated by the Soviet Army for its move of borrowing the road to Mongolia on the way to retreat.

Under the relatively difficult situation of replenishing heavy weapons, and under the requirement to restore the combat effectiveness of the 23rd Division in the shortest possible time, the Kwantung Army deployed a large number of chemical warfare weapons into the territory of small Linxi County, of which more than 20,000 were used for mountain artillery and mortars alone.

According to the requirements of the Kwantung Army, in the event of an attack by the mechanized units of the Soviet Army, when necessary, the 23rd Division would hoard the number of poison gas shells to ensure that the mountain artillery units and various mortar squadrons in the divisional artillery wing would hold out at maximum fire for two to three days.

It's just that because the Soviet Union itself also has extremely strong chemical warfare capabilities, even surpassing Japan's, the Kwantung Army requires that once the 23rd Division encounters an attack, it must obtain the approval of the Kwantung Army Headquarters when using poison gas shells.

Of course, in addition to an astonishing number of various poison gas shells, the Kwantung Army also stockpiled a large number of poison gas canisters, poison gas distribution trucks, cigarette canisters, and even some new cyanic acid grenades in Linxi and the surrounding Bahrain Left and Right Banners, which can be described as a wide variety and huge quantity.

In order to ensure that these huge amounts of chemical warfare weapons can be effectively used, in addition to a large number of chemical weapons replenishment, the Kwantung Army has also increased the establishment of chemical troops to the 23rd Division.

Most of them were the most powerful and difficult to defend against the erosive poison gas mustard gas shells in the Japanese army's chemical arsenal, as well as the No. 1 red bullet used most by the Japanese army on the battlefield in the Kannai battlefield, that is, the highly toxic arsenic biphenyl arsenic.

In fact, the number of phosgene shells stored by the Japanese army in the territory of Linxi was not very large, only more than 1,000 in total, but in the course of the battle in which the roundabout troops seized the county town of Linxi and surrounded and annihilated the 23rd Division, in order to destroy all these poison gas shells that could no longer be transported, the 23rd Division used a considerable part of the powerful mustard gas and biphenyl arsenic shells in the battle.

However, how could more than 20,000 poison gas shells, as well as a large number of poison gas canisters and cigarette canisters, be destroyed so easily, and although the 23 rd Division was not slow in its movements when it was defeated, a large number of poison gas shells and spreading tools also fell into Wang Guangyu's hands.

Because among the poison gas bombs stored by the Japanese army in Linxi, the phosgene lethality is not the strongest, and the actual lethality is still some gap compared with the mustard gas with the largest number of reserves, plus it is easy to protect, so the 23rd Division basically did not use these phosgene shells in the battle, but it has always been used as a reserve.

The thousands of phosgene shells in the most complete poison gas bomb and the only warehouse that reserves phosgene shells fell into Wang Guangyu's hands because they were too late to destroy them, and all the phosgene shells stored in this warehouse fell into Wang Guangyu's hands.

In the end, in addition to the more than 1,000 phosgene and mustard gas mixed shells, as well as phosgene shells, there were also more than 3,000 biphenyl arsenic shells and more than 2,000 mustard gas and Lewis gas shells, as well as a batch of cyanic acid gas, the most lethal gas, and only a special poison gas spreading vehicle for mustard gas, Wang Guangyu captured more than 10 vehicles on the battlefield in Linxi.

It was only because it was the first time that the Anti-Japanese Army had seen a Japanese poison gas shell using arsenic biphenylate, and they were not sure about its actual performance and lethality, as well as the long-term nature of mustard gas, which was difficult to remove and defensive, and that the use would affect the actions of their own troops.
