Chapter 240: Self-inflicted iniquity cannot live
Despite being on the upwind. Although the impotence dude had repeatedly assured that he would not be affected from 500 meters away from the explosion of the gas bomb. However, before the shelling began, Yang Zhen, who had no trust in his bones for the Japanese, a nation with a natural backbone in the back of his head, still ordered all the troops in the front brigade who had come into contact with the Japanese army to retreat 1,000 meters and put on all the gas masks they were issued.
Poison gas is no joke, he is a double-edged sword, while killing and injuring the enemy, if you don't take precautions first, you will also hurt yourself.
Although all the troops were required to wear gas masks, Yang Zhen himself did not bring anything. Although it looked a little gloomy, the night was so dark that there was not even moonlight in the sky, and nothing could be seen from a dozen paces away.
However, Yang Zhen still stood in front of a gun team mirror that was only 1,500 meters away from the mouth of the Lianjiang River, carefully observing the Japanese position. And beside him were still two guards standing behind him, but at this time it was Ozakiyama with a sad face, no, now there is a guy with a Chinese name called impotence.
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, when a red signal flare pierced the night sky, after the cavalry battalion withdrew, the line of the Lianjiang Estuary, which had been silent, suddenly resounded with dense artillery sounds. It's just that the sound of this shelling is very strange, you can only hear the sound of the shell being fired, but you can't hear the explosion of the shell after it hits the ground.
Less than five minutes after this strange shelling, another swishing sound rang out in the sky. With the swishing sound and countless flames crossing the sky, a dense explosion sounded on the surface of the Songhua River at the mouth of the Lianjiang River and a raging fire. If Yang Zhen was closer, he could still hear a loud but extremely fast thump from the other side of the river.
Looking at the silent line of the Lianjiang Estuary compared to the raging fire, Yang Zhen turned his head to look at the impotence who was hurriedly putting a gas mask on his head. After knocking off the gas mask on this guy's hand with a slap, Yang Zhen said with some anger: "How much of a role can those things of yours have, do you know in your heart?" ”
was knocked off the gas mask in his hand, and the impotence was slightly stunned. After discovering that the top commander of the whole army in front of him was not wearing a gas mask, but he brought it first, he remembered his previous assurance, and hurriedly stood up in fright and said: "Report to the chief, all the special smoke shells used this time are filled with the latest asphyxiating poison gas, which is commonly known as phosgene." ”
"This special smoke can only be inhaled through the guò respiratory tract compared to erosive mustard gas. Compared with mustard gas, which has a long duration of action and an incubation time of several days to manifest itself as poisoning, this special smoke with the smell of rotten hay can cause edema in the lungs and lead to a liquefied state in the lungs. And as long as the concentration is sufficient, it can cause people to die due to reflex breathing and cardiac arrest in a short period of time. ”
"And this special smoke has a short duration, and the rate of volatilization is almost negligible compared to the long-lasting mustard gas. The most important thing is that this special smoke can be completely protected by relying only on gas masks. It is the preferred special smoke when covering an attack. ”
"Today, both the wind speed and the temperature, is the perfect time to release this special smoke. The concentration of nearly 1,000 shells filled with special smoke was enough to render tens of thousands of people incapacitated within an hour. For less than 3,000 people on the first line of the Lianjiang Estuary, it is just a small meaning. ”
"The biggest advantage of this special smoke is that it has a short action time and is simple to protect. The most important thing is that this special smoke dissolves water very quickly. Contaminated areas can be cleaned with just cold water. Of course, if you use alkaline water, the effect will be better. This is the latest special smoke developed by the Japanese army to replace mustard gas as a cover for an attack. ”
"It is also the most powerful and effective kind of special smoke developed by all countries in the world, especially among the asphyxiating poisonous gases, and it is also the safest one for users."
After listening to this guy's report, after watching this guy say this, he was quite complacent with a villain face. Yang Zhen felt extremely sad in his heart and extremely unhappy at the same time: "You fucking brag." Also the latest development? You are an idiot who doesn't know anything. Who doesn't know what phosgene this is, which was already commonly used by the Germans as early as the First World War. ”
"You also use these old-fashioned things to bully the poor equipment, basically there is no research and development and production capacity of poison gas, except for a few elite troops, most of them do not even have the most basic gas masks. Even many of the miscellaneous troops have never even heard of it, let alone the Chinese army that has not been trained in anti-poisoning. ”
"Do you dare to change to other Western powers that can far surpass you in the development and production of poison gas, and whose ability to retaliate is dozens or even hundreds of times that of you? Needless to say, when you were beaten by the polar bear in Jiangbei and your nose was swollen, didn't you dare to use this bullshit decisive gas? Are you good at fooling Lao Tzu? ”
"The most powerful? I really don't know how the word shame is written when you say this? According to your statement, aren't the sarin, Tabun, and Soman developed by the Germans, which did not lag behind in the next few decades, all rubbish? ”
Anger is anger, but when I think of it, these so-called chemical weapons, which have been backward even in this era, have caused huge losses to the Chinese military and civilians during the entire eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The Japanese army used these things to create all kinds of tragedies, causing heavy casualties to the Chinese military and civilians, and Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh at the same time that a backward agricultural country had to pay a huge price to defeat a modern industrial country.
After bragging, he didn't get a response for a long time, and he couldn't help but be stunned. After turning his head and seeing Yang Zhen's gloomy face, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again. He knew very well the purpose of these poisonous gases. And how these poisonous gases, including himself, fell into the hands of the person in front of him, he knew better.
And the expression on his face just now obviously has a hint of triumph, isn't this obviously giving people eye medicine, isn't it okay to look for that? Thinking about why Yang Zhen's face, who was still a little excited just now, changed so quickly, after being so frightened that he trembled all over, he stood aside honestly, not daring to make a sound. looked at the gas mask on the ground with a blank eye, and didn't dare to pick it up.
Yang Zhen also lost interest in talking, and just there he looked at the pitch-black front except for the raging fire on the river, not knowing what he was thinking. It wasn't until it was time to launch the charge that the impotence on the side said in fear: "Sir, it's time to attack." ”
As soon as this guy reminded him, Yang Zhen looked at the watch in his hand and realized that it was time. Picking up the phone, Yang Zhen gave an attack order to Wang Guangyu, who was in front of him. It's just that after giving the order, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Old Wang, you understand what I mean, we don't have medicine to spend on these people." Except for the lightly wounded and the officers above the rank of Lieutenant, the rest you know what to do. ”
"Also, send a militia regiment to go up too, so that they don't use guns, and they all see blood. A soldier who has never seen blood, not a wolf, not even a dog. The militia is also a soldier, and it must be pulled up when necessary, isn't it? ”
Over there, Wang Guangyu listened to Yang Zhen's order, but he rarely hesitated for a long time before saying: "Commander, although I don't agree with your approach, it is my duty to obey orders as a soldier, and I will obey your orders." ”
"But have you ever thought about the consequences of this incident? Do you know how much the massacre of prisoners of war will affect you once the news spreads? Is it that the militia group will not be on board, or will I send veterans from the army to carry it out? These veterans know what they can and can't say. ”
Yang Zhen appreciates Wang Guangyu's style of thinking about problems from his own point of view. After thinking about Wang Guangyu's words for a long time, Yang Zhen finally changed his mind: "Old Wang, so that you can collect those who are not dead and bandage them simply." As for those that are left and there is no need to stay, leave them to the militia group to deal with. ”
Hearing that Yang Zhen had finally changed his mind, Wang Guangyu on the other side of the phone breathed a sigh of relief. Although those Japanese soldiers were not even as good as beasts in Wang Guangyu's eyes, the reputation of slaughtering prisoners of war as an army was not a good thing after all. His own troops are not beast armies like the Japanese army, and some things are not impossible to do, but there must be a scale.
Dispatching so many troops to clean up the battlefield is simply not a matter of strict secrecy. Once the matter is leaked out, it will not only be a matter of public opinion, but also whether it will have a certain impact on the future war against Japan. The central government alone will not turn a blind eye to this matter.
The commander himself is young, and he is an extremely capable fighter. Wang Guangyu didn't want Yang Zhen's future to be ruined because of these things. After all, once this matter spreads, the central government will not be able to deal with it even if it cannot be concealed. What's more, Wang Guangyu is even more reluctant for his top boss to bear the notoriety of a butcher.
In fact, Wang Guangyu didn't know that it was not Wang Guangyu's words that made Yang Zhen change his attitude, but the impotence next to him seemed unconscious, but it was actually an intentional passage: "These Osaka soldiers are all good at money, and I don't know how much money these guys have made when they have been transferred to the Chinese battlefield over the years?" ”
"There are not many good stubbles among those officers, and some of them come from prominent families and are very wealthy. If they can get money or materials to ransom people, I'm afraid it will be a big deal. ”
After saying this sentence of impotence, Yang Zhen didn't seem to listen to it on the surface. In fact, his heart moved: "Yes, these Osaka soldiers' methods of making money are not unaware of the boldness of their own before." Seeing that winter is coming, it should be no problem to exchange these people for some supplies. ”
"Although these Osaka soldiers were also intriguing and squeezing each other internally, they were quite united externally. Presumably, the fellow comrades and business partners of these guys, including their wealthy family members, should not mind giving some supplies to ransom them. If the number of prisoners of war reaches a certain number, it is quite possible that the problem of winter clothing for the troops will be solved. ”
"Anyway, these people have been gassed, and according to that guy's words, even if they are rescued, they will no longer be able to continue as a soldier because of the severe damage to their lungs. Even if it is put back, it will not have a great impact on the future situation of the war. ”
When Yang Zhen muttered in his heart how many prisoners of war he could capture this time and how to make full use of these resources, the impotence over there finally relieved Yang Zhen, and his heart that had been hanging finally fell to the ground.
Although he knew that after this battle, unless Japan was defeated, it would be impossible for him to return to China. Impotence, who knew that he had no choice but to serve the young chief in front of him now, had already cut off the idea of going back. But in his heart, those who fell under his gas bombs were still his compatriots.
If you watch them being picked by bayonets one by one, you really can't accept it anyway. Although he was on the battlefield in Kannai before, this scene was not an unusual thing for him. But at that time, after being poisoned, he was powerless to resist, and watched the Chinese who were killed by bayonets.
Although the scene is still the same scene now, the two sides have changed positions. Seeing that his compatriots are now being taught by others to impose themselves on others, and turn their heads to inflict it on themselves, impotence is really difficult to accept.
Yang Zhen, who doesn't read the mind of impotence, naturally won't know it. After giving the order, Yang Zhen thought about it and decided to go and see it for himself. One is to see how powerful these poisonous gases are and what is the killing effect? The second is to see how many prisoners of war I have captured this time.
After kicking the gas mask that fell under his feet to the impotence who was in a daze, Yang Zhen carried his gas mask, did not ride a horse, and walked towards the line of Lianjiangkou. Impotence, who had been in a daze after finishing speaking, saw Yang Zhen walk out, and was startled and hurriedly followed.
When he arrived at the Lianjiang Estuary and saw the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who were in a coma smoked by poisonous gas everywhere, Yang Zhen smiled: "What is called a sin made by heaven is forgivable, and it is impossible to live if you do it yourself." When the little devils slaughtered the Chinese with poison gas, they probably never thought that one day, these demons released by themselves when they opened Pandora's box would befall them. What is retribution, this is called retribution. ”
It's just that this gas mask Yang Zhen is really holding his breath, and after seeing the impotence next to him take off the gas mask, Yang Zhen, who knew that the poisonous gas here should have almost volatilized at this time, immediately took off the gas mask.
After taking off the gas mask, Yang Zhen didn't continue to look at it. All that needs to be done here now is to clean up the battlefield, count the results, and see if the killing effect of these nearly 1,000 rounds of suffocating gas shells is as powerful as that guy boasts.
Yang Zhen crossed the already messy Lianjiang estuary and went straight to the Songhua River behind the Lianjiang estuary. Compared with the Lianjiang estuary, which was basically war-free, he was more worried about how many ships Ma Qichang had knocked out on the river. Once he goes south, this Songhua River becomes a natural obstacle to his connection with the rear.
Before the river froze, all his arms supplies and the evacuation of the wounded had to rely on ferries to cross the Songhua River. The current Songhua River is not the Songhua River where a large number of reservoirs were built in later generations, which reduced the amount of water in the downstream a lot. The river is up to 100 meters wide, which can be described as deep and wide.
If these warships can't be destroyed, although these warships are about the same age as now, half of them are old ships, and the tonnage is small, and most of them are only shallow gunboats. But it is these small gunboats that pose a great threat to their southward operations, and they can cut off their retreats and supply lines at any time. Therefore, compared with the Lianjiang estuary on land, Yang Zhen is more worried about these small gunboats of the Jiangshang Army on the water.
