Just as Lu Dongliang and his other two were planning how to deal with the 15th Brigade, Colonel Takahashi, the captain of the field artillery corps of the 15th Brigade, commanded the artillery troops of the headquarters to fire poisonous gas bombs at the frontier position of Nanyulin defended by the 1st Battalion of the 612th Regiment of the People's Army.

Although the poison gas bomb also landed on the ground and exploded, the explosion itself was not loud and did not have much lethality. Its main function was to quickly break the bullet body to accelerate the dissipation of poison gas.

Most of the defensive officers and soldiers on the first battalion's position had evacuated, and only the battalion commander Wei Changshan and a company of more than 100 people were there. Seeing that the bombs falling one after another near the position exploded and began to emit light yellow smoke, Wei Changshan, who had already worn a gas mask, waved and ordered: "Put the detonating device, we will also withdraw!"[]

As the officers and soldiers evacuated through the underground passage one after another, Wei Changshan reached out and patted the two double-equipped 37 anti-aircraft cannons that had not been too late to withdraw, and sighed: "What a pity, such a good cannon has been destroyed after a few shots!" He looked at the front line of positions that were already in a mess, and Wei Changshan also turned around and left.

The 37 anti-aircraft gun weighs more than two and a half tons and has a pipe length of nearly 3 meters. Originally, the anti-aircraft gun regiment installed it on a car and deployed it manually. In order to strengthen the front-line firepower, Lu Dongliang allocated two battalions of each battalion of the front-line tunnel-type position from the anti-aircraft gun regiment. In order to get the 37 anti-aircraft guns into the front-line position, it took some effort to disassemble and then move them in and reassemble them in the form of components. However, now it is urgent to evacuate and it is not too late to dismantle and transport them away, so it can only be destroyed.

After leaving the position, Wei Changshan saw that there were several broken bullets nearby that had first exploded and there was not much smoke emitted. He thought about it and actually ran over to pick up the broken bullet and ran backwards!

"Battery Commander, you're dead!" Miao Yuqian, a guard squad leader of the battalion headquarters, was shocked to see this and stepped forward and was about to take it off.

"Miao Yuqian, stop me!" Wei Changshan shouted in a muffled voice through the gas mask, "This has basically dissipated the poisonous gas. Take it back for experts to study it. It is just that it cannot be created to give back to the Japanese. At least it can better study how to protect it!"

"I should also take it!" Miao Yuqian still refused to let go.

"I'm wearing cotton gloves, it's okay! If you want to take it, go and pick it up!" Wei Changshan insisted.

Miao Yuqian had no choice but to let go, and turned around to lead the guard squad soldiers to find a few bullets that had dissipated smoke, picked them up and walked backwards.

When Liang Tieya, the leader of the 612th regiment, heard about it, he was so angry that he scolded: "Wei Changshan is a bastard! Just make trouble for me! What is the best way to study the Japanese devils? He must be locked up in confinement!"

"Old Liang, it's not that he was locked up, but that he had to be put in the last 100 people who were removed from the front line and sent to Shenchi Hospital! Especially Wei Changshan, he had to be isolated for a while!" Deputy Commander Guan Haichao had another opinion, "Although Wei Changshan and the others were a bit Menglang, they were also to be able to better deal with the Japanese's poison gas bombs in the future. I don't think they would be punished for disciplinary punishment."

"Before the Japanese broke through, our regiment will go downstairs first!" Liang Tieya was still angry, but when he thought that Guan Haichao was right, he nodded and said, "Just do what you said! Those guys are cheap!"

Wei Changshan and others retreated from the position. As soon as they arrived, they were stuffed into a car and took the road to Shenchi Hospital. At the same time, Liang Tieya quickly reported the situation.

"Although it is to better deal with the Japanese poisonous gas bombs in the future, there must be no second time in this situation!" Zhou Mingyuan said with a serious expression after receiving the report, "We must let the officers and soldiers of the army know that their lives are much more important than the little ragged things in the Japanese! We also have enough strength to counter the Japanese poisonous gas bombs!"

Zhou Mingyuan knew very well that the Japanese's poisonous gas bombs were nothing more than the products of several chemicals such as phosgene, mustard gas, Louis's gas, etc. The Northwest has developed corresponding prevention and control drugs, so there is no need to let the troops take the risk to pick up Japanese's rags.

"Yes! I will definitely pass the orders from the war zone to the troops! To prevent such things from happening again!" Zhuang Yi promised on the other end of the phone.

"Wei Changshan and others can be commended, but we do not advocate their approach!" Zhou Mingyuan decided to deal with the matter, and then said, "I agree in principle with the combat plan reported by the 61st Division, but some adjustments must be made. The armored automobile regiment of the 121st Division can be used by the 61st Division, and the air defense regiments of the two divisions are also mobile forces. They can be adjusted together and used together. The remaining three infantry regiments and direct forces of the 121st Division are reserves to prepare for reinforcement of the two battlefields north and south of the Great Wall! In addition, it is best to confront the Japanese on the front line of Huangshuihe for a few days, and wait until their troops and firepower are increased before annihilation!"

After pausing, Zhou Mingyuan reminded again: "The 15th Brigade launches a poison gas attack on Shuo County, and the 26th Division is likely to take the same action on the front line of Xuangang. Our front line must be prepared for protection and response, and the front line of Xuangang must stick to it!"

In the direction of Shuo County, the 61st Division not only has two solid fortifications in Nanyulin and Huangshui River, but also has a stronger last barrier at Yangfangkou. However, the front line of Xuangang, due to the large number of vehicles and personnel in Yan Xishan Command, it was difficult for the People's Army to build a large-scale construction. Only the Hutuo River tributaries were used to build a permanent defensive fortification in the front line of Xuejiaao, Duanjiabao, Xuangang, and Shenshanbao. The second fortification from Yuzhuang in Ningwu north and along the Huihe River to Yangfangkou is currently under construction, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a month to complete. If the 26th Division breaks through the front line of Xuangang at this time, the People's Army will be extremely passive.

"I understand! Let's start to deploy now!" Zhuang Yi had already understood Zhou Mingyuan's intention and replied loudly.

After putting down Zhuang Yi's phone call, Zhou Mingyuan reported the relevant situation to Zhao Zhenzhong.

"There is no problem with combat deployment, it is up to you to control it. But the Japanese army used poison gas bombs to attack our army, but they could not just let go of it!" Zhao Zhenzhong decided to say, "Isn't Althorp still in the northwest? He used his pen to cover the despicable behavior of the Japanese army in the newspapers, and our radio station also issued a solemn statement, allowing people at home and abroad to see what the Japanese are!"

Because he is familiar with Zhou Mingyuan and others, and Zhao Zhenzhong and others intend to retain this channel to call Roosevelt, Althorp's journalist activities in the Northwest were greatly facilitated. Through the pen in his hand, Althorp showed a vigorous Northwest to the domestic and foreign countries, making many people pay more attention and yearn for the Northwest.

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Althorp originally wanted to go forward to interview like Snow, but Roosevelt wrote to him that he "staying in the Northwest is not only more meaningful to you, but also to the United States." In addition, Zhou Mingyuan also assured him that "you can get more real and sensational news in the Northwest than elsewhere", Althorp stayed.

Since the Northwest Air Force launched its first battle to shoot down 24 Japanese planes on October 2, Althorp has received important news one by one, and it was all scoop, which made him ecstatic. Of course, Althorp also had regrets and complaints. Neither Zhao Zhenzhong nor Zhou Mingyuan allowed him to go to the front line, nor did he reveal more about the equipment and combat effectiveness of the People's Army. This is really a torment for a curious reporter.

On the afternoon of November 2, just as Althorp was muttering and complaining at his residence in Lanzhou, Li Wenyong walked in and notified him that there was a plane to Baode, and asked him if he wanted to go to the front line for an interview.

"Li, are you serious?" Althorp asked in surprise in Chinese, which he had not yet been fluent.

"We are old friends too, what are you lying to do?" Li Wenyong smiled and said to Piaotian Wenxue.com, "Commander Zhou just reported to the headquarters that the Japanese used poison gas bombs on our army on the front line. The gentleman approved me to take people to film the Japanese's evidence of the Japanese. I want to ask you to go with me."

"Li, you are still friends!" Excited, Althorp gave Li Wenyong a bear hug, and at the same time he complained, "Zhao, Zhou and the others ignore me now!"

However, Althorp quickly came back to the taste and said shockedly: "Are you saying that the Japanese used poisonous gas bombs on the Northwest Army?"

"That's right! If you are willing to go, then clean up quickly and let's go now!" After getting rid of Althorp's enthusiasm, Li Wenyong explained again, "The troops are fighting in front of us. Our gentleman and Commander Zhou are very busy now. If you don't take good care of it for a while, don't be surprised."

"God! The Japanese are so crazy!" Elthop sighed, then he hurriedly packed up a few clothes and shouted, "Of course I want to go for such a big news!"

After randomly stuffing his clothes into a backpack, Althorp grabbed his interview bag again and followed Li Wenyong to the airport. After arriving at Baode Airport, Althorp concluded that the matter must be serious. Here he not only met Zhou Mingyuan, who had just been complained about by him, but also met Li Yunlan and Zhou Anshu, as well as some military generals and a fighter plane parked on the nearby runway.

Excited, Althorp didn't bother to say hello to his acquaintance, grabbed the camera and pointed it at the fighter planes, but he soon found that the camera was blocked by a big hand.

"Al, you're foul again!" Zhou Mingyuan said seriously, "Without permission, military-related content cannot be filmed casually!"

Just when Althorp was nervous, Zhou Mingyuan said again: "When you return to China in a few years, I can choose to send you some pictures, but it won't work now!"

Seeing that the photo could not be taken, Althorp also put away the camera and greeted several acquaintances such as Li Yunlan, Zhou Anshu, and he followed Zhou Mingyuan and asked: "Zhou, I heard that the Japanese used poison gas bombs. Is the consequences serious?"

"It's very serious!" Zhou Mingyuan said with a solemn expression, "Some officers and soldiers were injured, and the front-line positions were also lost! However, it is not convenient for me to disclose the specific details to you now."

After meeting Zhou Mingyuan and others, Althorp had already speculated. Zhou Mingyuan is now the Chief of Staff of the People's Army and the Commander of the Yulin War Zone. Without major military information, he would not have come to Baode. Zhou Anshu and Li Yunlan are medical experts, and the appearance of the two here together also means that the People's Army soldiers have suffered major casualties!

Sure enough, after Althorp followed everyone to Shenchi Hospital, he saw five broken poison gas bombs displayed there and were taken with special protective measures, and also saw Wei Changshan, Miao Yuqian and others who had ulcerated marks on their palms and arms. Although Althorp only saw Wei Changshan and others who were said to be milder, look at the festering skin of the few people, and look at the hundreds of people's army officers and soldiers who were said to be even more severe and tightly wrapped inside, Althorp felt creepy!

Whether it is the bloody and cruelty under the Tibetan serf system or the hell-like epidemic situation in the south of the mountain, Althorp saw all the traces left by the past, and the dead. But now, Althorp saw people who were eroded by poison gas! This visual and spiritual shock brought even greater shock to Althorp! He could even imagine the tragic scene after Wei Changshan and others could not obtain effective treatment!

"God! This is an unforgivable serious crime!" Althorp cut a cross on his chest with a pale face.

"We are not ready to forgive the Japanese!" Zhou Mingyuan said strongly, "Our army will not accept his surrender to the 15th Brigade that was casting poison gas bombs!"

"Zhou, I want to go to the front line to see the lost position! Even if I only take a few photos from a distance!" Althorp turned around and asked Zhou Mingyuan stubbornly.

Zhou Mingyuan pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed to Althorp's request, but then emphasized: "You can go with Li Wenyong and the others, but you must obey the army's arrangements after you get there! I don't want you to have any accidents!"

After obtaining Zhou Mingyuan's permission, Althorp quickly went to find Li Wenyong. He really didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore, for fear that he would be tortured by the tragic situation of Wei Changshan and others.

"Sister, what are these rash people doing? Can they be cured?" After Althorp left, Zhou Mingyuan learned about the exact situation of Wei Changshan and others from Zhou Anshu.

"Treatment can be cured, but there will definitely be scars on the palms and arms." Zhou Anshu sighed and said, "The broken bullets they brought back have phosimia, and the residues of mustard gas and Louis's Qi are almost all the poison gas that the Japanese army can use at the moment. If they are taken out separately, the harm is not great, but the mixing of mustard gas and Louis's Qi will be much more serious."

Phosphate and Louise gas can be effectively protected by the gas surface. Although mustard gas is highly toxic, its melting point is low and it will condense into a solid at a point of more than 14 degrees. If mustard gas is used alone in northern Shanxi, it will not exert its toxicity. However, if mustard gas and Louise gas are mixed, they can also be used in severe winter under the interaction. Wei Changshan and Miao Yuqian are eroded by mixed toxic gases.

"As long as it's not on the face, it's not a big problem to leave a scar." Zhou Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Leave a mark for them, not only their medals, but also gives them a memory. The Japanese dare to take the poisonous gas bombs!"

The Zhou brothers and sisters were talking outside the medical room, and Wei Changshan and others heard it clearly. Miao Yuqian and others didn't feel anything yet. Wei Changshan, who came to the northwest as platoon leader of the escort army in 31 years and became the first member of the Sixth Column, was very excited. He whispered to the others: "Outside the door is Commander Zhou of our war zone. Dr. Zhou, who just treated us for the injury, was actually the wife of the gentleman!"

Miao Yuqian and other guard squad soldiers have joined the People's Army in the northwest in recent years. Although I have heard that Commander Zhou of the War Zone is the first column captain of the Sixth Column, I have never met him in person. At this time, I heard Wei Changshan say that, and I was excited: "Battery Commander, is that really Commander Zhou? Is Mr.'s wife the wife of the Commander-in-Chief's wife?"

"That's right! We were injured so much that the commander-in-chief's wife was alarmed. Even if we were punished, it would be worth it!" Wei Changshan said happily, "After returning, we must talk to the commander carefully so that he can also envy him!"

Zhou Anshu did not stay in Shenchi Hospital for a long time. After formulating specific measures with Li Yunlan to treat toxic gas injuries and prescribed special drugs, he rushed back to Lanzhou. After Zhou Mingyuan gave Wei Changshan some advice, he also returned to Yulin.

In the northwest, Seiichiro Shinohara, who used poison gas bombs, was very happy for the Japanese army to take down Nanyulin by the Japanese army. As for the statement issued by the People's Army that "the prisoners of the 15th Brigade" was not accepted seriously by Shinohara. In his opinion, the imperial soldiers with the spirit of Bushido did not have the problem of becoming prisoners.

"Your Excellency, the enemy's fortifications in Nanyulin were blown up by him. Our army did not find the enemy's corpse along the way, but it was attacked by the enemy's landmines many times. At present, it has only been in the Nanxinzhuang area." Colonel Zhulu reported the situation with some anxiety.

"Zhulujun, the enemy was forced to give up and destroy the fortifications of solid fortifications by themselves. This is the victory of our army!" Shinohara waved his hand disapprovingly and said with a relaxed mood, "As long as our army's infantry cannons cooperate and the power of special bombs, the Chinese People's Army can only retreat! Some landmines, Ito-kun's engineers are enough to solve it!"

However, Shinohara was too presumptuous. After taking Nanyulin on November 2, in the next eight days, the Japanese army only advanced about 10 kilometers due to the People's Army's mine sluggishness and cold rifle sniping. When the 15th Brigade pushed the front line to the Huangshui River, it once again encountered the People's Army's strong fortification position.

Although the Japanese military, especially Shinohara himself, was under a lot of pressure due to the Northwest statement and the fact that Althorp used poison gas bombs revealed by the US New York Herald Tribune, Shinohara still had the idea of ​​using poison gas bombs again after being unable to conquer the People's Army's Huangshuihe defense line for four consecutive days.

"Shinohara, because the 15th Brigade used special bombs last time, the Imperial military has faced considerable pressure. It is best not to use them now." Faced with Shinohara's request to "replenish special bombs", Jun Jun, the harem of the 26th Division, advised.

After the 15th Brigade succeeded in using special bullets, Jun Harem also wanted to use them. However, before the 26th Division was attached to the operation, Northwest and the New York Herald Tribune disclosed relevant facts one after another. If only the Northwest statement was made, the Japanese army would definitely insist that it was the enemy's slander, but it would not be easy to get confused with the nephew of the US president. Jun Harem could only cancel the operation and instead used heavy artillery to continue bombarding the People's Army positions on the front line of Xuangang.

"As long as you can serve the empire and avenge the soldiers who died in the empire such as Goto Jun, the outside world will no longer care about the criticisms!" Shinohara said firmly in the command center of Jun Yui's harem, "Please help me!"

Seeing Shinohara insisting on doing this, Jun of the Harem could not help but be moved, nodding and said, "Shinahara-kun is dedicated to the empire, his ambition is commendable! I will help you!" At this moment, Jun of the Harem came to Irie Kaner and ordered: "Except for the emergency share, give all other special bombs to Shinohara-kun!"

After obtaining enough poison gas bombs to replenish it from the 26th Division, Seiichiro Shinohara got steeper again. In order to understand the battle situation ahead and command the troops in time, he ignored the advice of the three colonels, Zhulu, Takahashi and Ito, and simply moved the headquarters of the 15th Brigade to Nanyulin.

In Shinohara's view, the 15th Brigade has compressed the enemy to the front line of Huangshui River, and the Japanese infantry and artillery are arranged between Huangshui River and Nanyulin. Nanyulin is safe enough. Besides, there are enough special bombs at present, and you can take down the enemy's position on the other side of Huangshui River just by waiting for the weather to be suitable. The distance from the other side of Huangshui River to Shuoxian County is less than 20 kilometers. If the enemy is unintentional, the 15th Brigade can even advance to the city within one day! It is precisely the confidence in the combat effectiveness of the 15th Brigade and the expectation for victory that Shinohara took the initiative to jump into the trap prepared by the People's Army long ago!

"Lao Lu, what are you looking into the sky? Looking at the moon and miss your hometown or miss your sister-in-law?" Chief of Staff Qi Zhiyong quipped.

"The situation of the war is tight now, I don't have that intention!" Lu Dongliang gave him a blank look, then pointed to the moon in the sky and said, "It is said that 'the sun is dizzy at 3 o'clock in the morning, and the moon is dizzy at noon'. The wind circle next to the moon is big enough. I think the Japanese shouldn't use poison gas bombs again in the past two days."

"I was just about to tell you that today is November 15th, and it is the 13th day of the 10th lunar month. It has been 5 days since the Huangshui River. It is time to close the net." Qi Zhiyong shook the phone record book in his hand and said, "The division's reconnaissance battalion and the 612th Regiment Reconnaissance Company reported separately. Starting this morning, the Japanese have been driving cars from Xinguangwu City to Nanyulin and Beixinzhuang. Many antennas have been set up in Nanyulin. I guess, the Japanese Japanese Shinohara is likely to move to Nanyulin!"

"Bei Xinzhuang is the Japanese artillery position, and cars come and go. Did Shinohara want to use the same trick again?" Gu Jingming, the deputy division commander, became alert.

"I think so too, so I asked you two to discuss whether you will do something in the past two days." Qi Zhiyong nodded in agreement.

"This vote is a big deal!" Lu Dongliang waved his fist excitedly, but thoughtfully said, "But once the fight starts, it will be no problem to use our division's troops to deal with the 15th Brigade, which has less than 8,000 people left. But if you want to wipe out it completely, it will not be solved in a few hours, then the nearby 26th Division will be a problem! At that time, the harem Chun will either surrounded Wei and rescue Zhao Meng from the front line of my Xuangang, or went north from Yanmen Pass, passing through the new and old Guangwu City to aid Nanyulin!"

"We can point forward and suggest that we can bring all the reserve team of the 121st Division in, and beat the Japanese together!" Qi Zhiyong suggested.

"I think it's OK! I'll report forward and set the action time to the early morning of the 17th!" Lu Dongliang decided.

After careful consideration, Zhuang Yi, Xu Dejian and others decided to approve the combat request of Lu Dongliang and others. In this way, before Shinohara hoped that the appropriate weather would be used, the People's Army was ready to take action first and destroy the 15th Brigade!

On the night of the 16th, the northwest wind that had been blowing for a day had just seen light, but heavy snow fell from the sky. In the winter in the mountains of northern Shanxi, the lowest temperature in the second half of the night was more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, but Lu Dongliang and others decided to start on time at 5 a.m. tomorrow.

"We have a great difficulty in attack, but the Japanese are also more difficult to escape!" At the joint combat meeting of the 61st Division and the 121st Division, Lu Dongliang analyzed, "As long as we act resolutely and take the new Guangwu City first, not only will the 15th Brigade be in the jar, but even the 26th Division cannot rescue it. I sigh at the city!"

"Lao Lu, I have no objection to the combat plan. However, have the mines on these two roads been discharged? Can all the participating vehicles ensure that they can be launched in time tomorrow morning?" Fang Jihai, commander of the 121st Division, reminded.

"The road from Nanyulin to Anzi has been discharged by the Japanese. In Shanyin County on the east side, the mines buried by the 19th Army were secretly discharged by us. The remaining areas around Xinguangwu City have nothing to do with the overall situation. As for the vehicles participating in the war, they will be launched one and a half hours in advance tomorrow morning." Gu Jingming smiled, "As long as the 15th Brigade can be destroyed, it is worth burning more oil!"

Seeing that Lu Dongliang and others were preparing in detail in all aspects, Fang Jihai nodded and said no more, and things were settled.

At around 3 a.m. on the 17th, the armored automobile regiments of the 61,121 divisions and the air defense regiment were launched in a total of more than 300 cars at the same time. Then, in the wind and snow, four regiments and the two divisions' reconnaissance battalions entered Shanyin County from near Dongyulin on the Tongpu Line, and ran towards Xinguangwu City through Xinxingpu.

More than two kilometers away from Xinguangwu City, all vehicles stopped and kept the engine running at low speed. The officers and soldiers of the four regiments remained motionless, while the two reconnaissance battalions dived towards Xinguangwu City in the wind and snow.

After Shinohara moved the command center of the 15th Brigade to Nanyulin, there were only dozens of light and heavy squadrons left in Xinguangwu City. The 15th Brigade compressed the People's Army on the front line of Huangshui River. The dozens of Japanese troops who stayed in Xinguangwu City never dreamed that the enemy would appear under their noses in such weather!

Although Xinguangwu City has the word "city" and is indeed dangerous in history, it has been very broken in this era. Wei Taigu and others used the unevenness of the broken city wall, which was convex or concave, and quickly climbed over to the city wall. After solving the sentries on the city wall, the two battalions sneaked into the city again.

More than a thousand people sneaked in to deal with the Japanese who were sleeping in dozens of sleeping Japanese devils. By 4:30, Wei Taigu had already sent people back to pick up the hundreds of cars. Then, the four regiments drove to the west gate of Xinguangwu City, two of which were air defense regiments entered the city to deploy, while the other two armored car regiments were waiting for the attack time to arrive at Ximen Jing.

At 5 a.m., with the long whistle of the train on the Tongpu Line, the battle to gather the 15th Brigade started! 36 155 heavy artillery towed by the train poured artillery fire towards the artillery position of the 15th Brigade and the Nanyulin area that had been determined a few days ago. The 61st Division's artillery regiment, which had been silent since the war, also used its 36 105 artillery to cover the enemy's infantry positions from Wangdongzhuang area to the enemy's infantry positions. The location of the 15th Japanese brigade was completely destroyed into a sea of ​​fire!

After the 155 artillery bombarded Nanyulin, Shinohara was awakened! From the thundering sound caused by the shells passing through the sky, especially the thunderous shock after landing, Shinohara, who had seen Japanese heavy artillery, judged that this must be a heavy artillery of 150 caliber!

"Aren't the artillery of the Chinese People's Army destroyed by Irijiang? Why are there such heavy artillery still there?!" Amid the waves of vibrations, Shinohara ignored the dissuasion of the staff and the guards around her and came to the yard of the command center, looking at the particularly dazzling fireballs in the dark sky before dawn, and the firelight rising from the sky in the northwest direction, and was in a state of dismay!

He knew that those fireballs were heavy artillery shells that were enough to crush him to pieces, and where the northwest fires soared into the sky, the artillery positions and infantry camps of the 15th Brigade were even more disheartened. What made him even more disheartened was that there were also bursts of gunfire sounds from the direction of Nanyulin to the east of the Old Guangwu City, and the 15th Brigade was already doomed!

Seeing victory in sight, he suddenly fell from the peak of success to the bottomless abyss of failure. This gap really made Shinohara unacceptable. He looked down at the snow that was nearly knee-dead, and looked up at the sky nervously, but found that half of the stars in the sky were invisible, and there were only large cold snowflakes that were coming to his face!
Chapter completed!
