Chapter 233: The Battle of Nankou (11)

The Hong-1 special bomb is a poison gas bomb, and its main component is diphenyl cyanide: a sneeze poison. During the First World War, the German army used diphenyl chloride in large quantities and frequently succeeded on the battlefield. The Japanese developed diphenyl cyanide, which is ten times more toxic than the German diphenyl cyanide. Its main function is to stimulate the mucosa and cause continuous sneezing, tears and vomiting. In the air with a concentration of one milligram per cubic meter, personnel can temporarily lose their combat effectiveness after being exposed for thirty seconds.

When Ono Shinichi heard that the brigade commander wanted to use the Hong-1 special bomb, he was shocked. Although the 11th Brigade had equipped some special bombs, given that the Hague International Convention ordered the use of poison gas bombs to be prohibited, the military command had ordered the use of special bombs with caution. What's more, the toxicity of the Hong-1 special bomb is the greatest.

"Your Excellency, please think carefully?" Ono Shinoji couldn't help but remind.

A ferocious look flashed on Suzuki Shigekai's face, and he shook his head and said, "No. Nankou is the key to the Pingsui Line war. Commander Xiangyue must take down the line from Nankou to Juyongguan within three days. Now we have no choice. We must give the last and most thorough blow to the Chinese army at Longhutai and even the Nankou."

Compared to Shinji Ono's cautiousness, Junichi Yanagai and others were overjoyed. Junichi Yanagai took the initiative to offer advice: "Brig Commander, the Chinese army has a large number of anti-aircraft anti-aircraft gun positions in the Dragon Tiger Platform. I suggest..."

Junichi Yanagi said his plan and finally said with a grim smile: "This way we can maximize the role of special bombs and completely eliminate the Chinese army on the Dragon and Tiger Platform."

"Yoxi." Suzuki Shigeyao nodded, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

The big knife slashed one Japanese after another, and the Japanese who rushed to the position turned around and fled to the mountain. When Cheng Dean was about to pursue the Japanese with his brothers, he suddenly flew out of the sky with dense shells. "Boom!" A loud bang, a shell exploded beside him.

With a "Ah!", Cheng Dean, who was lying on the bed, sat up suddenly and wiped the cold sweat from his head. Only then did he realize that it was Nan Ke's dream. But at this time, there were also dense sounds of gunfire outside the window.

"How could I be here?" Cheng Dean looked carefully at the room which was his residence in the town, and the sound of gunfire was obviously coming from the Dragon and Tiger Platform.

"The Japanese are starting to attack again. No, I have to go to the position." Cheng Dean quickly jumped out of bed and pushed the door open and was about to go out.

As soon as the door opened, the orderly soldier guarding the door saw Cheng Dean coming out and was surprised and said: "Captain, you are awake! Are you okay?"

"Who lifted me down? Follow me to the position quickly." Cheng Dean shouted with his eyes and without waiting for the orderly soldiers to come back, he hurriedly prepared to go out.

"Captain, regiment commander, you can't go up now." Seeing this, the orderly soldier hurriedly stopped Cheng De'an Road.

"Fuck, are you a leader or I am a leader, hurry up and dodge me." Cheng Dean yelled loudly with his eyes.

The orderly soldier still did not get out of the way, and said with a look of embarrassment: "The commander of the regiment, it was the order given by the division himself to let you rest well. Without his approval, you cannot go to the position."

Cheng Dean remembered that when he was unconscious on the position, he saw Shen Yi and the Third Battalion Commander rushed out of the hidden military cave with the Third Battalion. The Third Battalion Commander violated his order and Shen Yi was present. It was undoubtedly the order that Boss Shen himself had ordered. Now he heard the order that the order was not approved by the division commander and he could not go to the position, and he suddenly lost his temper. At this time, the sound of guns and cannons on the position gradually became sparse. When he heard carefully, he was all his own mortars, Maxi, Czech and medium-term rifles. But he was still worried that he was not on the position and hurriedly said, "Don't stop, I'll find the division seat." As he said that, he pushed the orderly officer to the side and walked straight to the direction of the Niangniang Temple behind the town.

The sudden sound of guns and cannons on the Dragon and Tiger Platform also alarmed all night and did not close their eyes. Chen Xiuwen, Qiao Zhen and Shen Zui, who were discussing the specific combat plan to attack Changping County. Fortunately, the sound of guns and cannons did not last long. The third battalion on the Dragon and Tiger Platform quickly reported by phone that it had repelled the Japanese's sneak attack.

When Chen Xiuwen heard the staff's report, he threw the pencil in his hand on the map spread on the table, and smiled at Qiao Zhen, "The old Japanese devil, Shigekam Suzuki, is anxious and dares to attack at night. I see that the two brigades of the 62nd Regiment in Changping County are about to be dispatched. Chief of Staff, our plan is almost perfect. How about it, can we take action in advance?"

Qiao Zhen was about to open his mouth, but when he lifted the curtain, Cheng Dean broke in. Seeing that Qiao Zhen and Shen Zui were both there, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then immediately stood at attention and reported: "Master, please approve me to go to the position."

Cheng Dean suddenly broke in, and Qiao Zhen and Shen Zui were also stunned. Although they learned from Chen Xiuwen that he was not seriously injured, they did not expect that he would break in vividly. Qiao Zhen was even ahead of Shen Xiuwen, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at Cheng Dean and asked, "Dean, aren't you injured? Is it okay?"

Before Cheng Dean could answer, Chen Xiuwen sank his face and said sternly: "If you don't recover from your injuries, why are you here to come?"

"Master, I'm fine. It's really fine. You'd better approve me to return to the position. I knew the Japanese came up to attack, and I was worried." Cheng Dean said while exercising his hands and feet.

"It's okay?" Chen Xiuwen walked to Cheng Dean with a calm face, raised his hand and poked his heart: "I didn't say that your body is in trouble, you are in trouble here. Now I'm worried when I think about it? Are you looking for death? You have to let so many brothers die with you."

Thinking of the tragic scene in the afternoon, Cheng Dean's face suddenly pale. He no longer dared to look at Chen Xiuwen's gaze. His command error caused great casualties in the Second Battalion and the entire heavy machine gun platoon was wiped out. Then, due to his uneasyness, he ignored the enemy's small number and small number, he launched a counterattack against the Japanese, causing almost all the Second Battalion to be completely destroyed.

"Ba! Ba!" Cheng Dean suddenly slapped himself twice and cried bitterly, "Master, I am incompetent, I killed the brothers of the Second Battalion. However, I would like to ask Master to give me another chance. I will firmly guard the Dragon Tiger Platform and avenge the brothers of the Second Battalion."

Chen Xiuwen stared at Cheng De'an, and after a long time, he sighed: "The brothers of the Second Battalion are all good. They almost defeated a brigade of the Japanese with the strength of one battalion." As he said that, Chen Xiuwen raised his voice again and said sternly: "But, you, the regiment commander, are not qualified. Because you forgot your identity and also forgot your own mission. We are not going to die with the Japanese, we are going to defend the Nankou and the Longhutai. We will win time for the layout of the entire Pingsui Line Battle."

"Yes. I'm not qualified." Cheng De'an nodded repeatedly, then stood attentively and said with tears: "But Master, I will definitely not make the same mistake again. I am willing to redeem my merits and resolutely defend the Dragon and Tiger Platform, and the Japanese cannot move forward."

Qiao Zhen and Shen Zui on the side had long seen that Chen Xiuwen was taking the opportunity to attack Cheng De'an. Now the combat plan to attack Changping has been formulated. After the spy company started in Changping, it was an important part of the plan. How could Cheng De'an be a tiger general? Qiao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Master, I think De'an has realized his mistake, you see?"

Chen Xiuwen then glared at Cheng Dean fiercely and said, "Then I will depend on your specific performance. If you are still so impulsive, I think you, the leader, should not be the leader, and go back and change your position with Zheng Huaishan."

What kind of work does Zheng Huaishan do? If you really want to change your position with Zheng Huaishan, Cheng Dean, who is restless by nature, would not accept it. He hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry. If I make trouble again, you will withdraw me. I would rather continue to be the platoon leader as I did before."

"Hmph!" Chen Xiuwen snorted softly, and then said, "You must not only guard the Dragon and Tiger Platform in the next task, but also have other tasks. Let the Chief of Staff explain to you."

Ten minutes later, Cheng Dean, who had received the new mission, walked out of the command center happily as if he had changed. After the Chief of Staff gave the mission, he not only transferred Wang Shaoping's second regiment to his unified command, but also transferred the remaining two battalions of the fire battalion together. While Cheng Dean was waiting for the orderly soldiers outside to go to the position together, he also thought to himself: Now he finally took the opportunity to teach the group of Japanese devils at the foot of the mountain a lesson.

The Japanese did not start attacking as soon as the first day, and the Japanese in front of the Longhu Platform did not move at all.

"What are the drugs sold in this gourd? Are they waiting for reinforcements from the Sixty-second Regiment?" Chen Xiuwen also felt very surprised after receiving Cheng Dean's report.

"Impossible." Chen Zui shook his head and said, "If the Japanese in Changping City move, my people will report it immediately. Maybe the Japanese are waiting for air support."

Chen Xiuwen thought about it and looked at Qiao Zhen, who was also frowning. The reasonable explanation was only like this, and said: "No matter what the Japanese are doing for, please ask Cheng Dean to be careful."

Qiao Zhen nodded, picked up the phone in person, and conveyed orders to Cheng De'an.

Shinji Ono quickly walked into the tent of the temporary command center and reported to Shigekai Suzuki who was looking at the map: "Your Excellency, the Hong-1 special bomb has been in place."

When Suzuki Shigekai heard this, he quickly raised his head and ordered: "The order attack begins!"

Shinoji Ono hesitated for a moment and wanted to persuade the brigade commander to act cautiously again, but before he could speak, he touched Suzuki Shinoji Suzuki's sharp eyes. Shinoji Ono had to swallow the words on his lips and stood attentively: "Hayi."

At ten o'clock in the morning, the Japanese attack finally kicked off with the roar of the two artillery groups.

"The Japanese finally moved." In the Dragon Tiger Tower, Cheng Dean patted the earth that was shaking down on the body against Xue Gang, the battalion commander of the firepower battalion, who was already in place, said: "When the Japanese come up later, all the heavy firepower of your battalion will be transferred up. The attendant said that as long as we fight harder, the earlier the two brigades of the Sixty-second Regiment in Changping City will be transferred out."

"Captain Cheng, our fire camp will obey your command." Xue Gang replied hard. The fire camp was originally transferred to cooperate with Rong Yi's firepower company's heavy machine gun platoon was wiped out, and no one would feel comfortable.

Cheng Dean was slightly embarrassed, stood up and patted Xue Gang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I, Old Cheng, owed you this time. Sorry, the brothers in the heavy machine gun platoon, they are all good. After this battle, I, Old Cheng, will definitely wear mourning clothes to see off the dead brothers."

Cheng Dean's words made Xue Gang feel embarrassed. He looked at Cheng Dean with a sincere look. Although their fire battalion was directly under the division headquarters, Cheng Dean was all the commanders no matter how he said it, and hurriedly said: "I thank Commander Cheng for the fallen brothers. If you can kill the three Japanese planes, the sacrifice of the brothers is worth it. Commander Cheng, don't worry, our fire battalion will definitely assist you in fighting this battle."

The artillery fire lasted for ten minutes. After Yanagida Junichi asked the brigade commander Suzuki Shigeyaku, who had just come out of the temporary command post, he walked to the front of the formation and drew out the command knife and ordered in the air, "Stop the artillery bombardment, the first brigade attack."

"Kill me!" Okatani Shinsao waved his command knife and personally led the remnants of the first brigade, which had only more than 500 people left, to the Longhutai position.

One mistake, one's wisdom. After confirming that no aircraft was coming, the Japanese infantry began to attack, the firepower battalion and the third battalion quickly entered the position. The eighteen sixty mortars of the firepower battalion and the six eighty mortars of the Rong Yi Regiment were arranged in the mortar position on the back slope, and the fourteen m2 and the third battalion six Maxim heavy machine guns were distributed on both sides of the top of the mountain and on the front. The three companies of the third battalion all entered the first and second trenches. Such firepower equipment can be described as terror. Even if all the troops of the Sixty-first Regiment were put into the attack, there would be no return.

"Strange, why did the Japanese attack invest such a little force, and they didn't even cover the chariot?" Cheng Dean couldn't help but wondered when he lay in the ring fortifications and looked at the more than 500 Japanese who were rushing towards the Dragon and Tiger Platform.

"Don't worry about him! We will do as much as the Japanese come." Xue Gang, who had just been transferred, said with a whisper.

"This morning, the Japanese were always weird. The genitals called us to be careful and we should be careful. Let's be more at ease." Cheng Dean shook his head and said.

As he was speaking, the Japanese who had just rushed to the foot of the mountain suddenly stopped moving forward. Cheng Dean, who had been staring at the Japanese operations, was suddenly uneasy. Thinking of yesterday's lesson, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Be careful, the Japanese may have to shell the gun."

As soon as Cheng Dean finished speaking, a harsh whistle came from the air, "Swish! Swish! Swish..." The grenade cut through the air.

"Damn it, I'm fooled again. Hidden, hide quickly." Cheng Dean quickly called out fortifications, waved his arms and ordered loudly.

"Captain Cheng, be careful!" Xue Gang quickly pulled him down and threw himself on Cheng Dean's body.

"Dong, dong, dong" the grenade hit the ground, without the unexpected huge explosion. A small ball of fire flashed, and a cluster of light red smoke drifted out of the cracked shell. As the grenade continued to fall, the smoke quickly covered the first trench halfway up to the top of the mountain.

Cheng Dean, who had gotten up from under Xue Gang's body, changed his face when he saw this scene, and he quickly shouted: "Poison gas is the poison gas of the Japanese. Hurry up, gas mask, put on the gas mask."

At the same time, veterans and grassroots officers who had experienced the Battle of Songhu and witnessed the poison gas of the Japanese also shouted: "Don't be virgin, hurry up and prevent virgin."

The officers and soldiers quickly took out the gas masks and put them on their faces. Some of them had already started to shed tears and sneeze hard. The officers and soldiers who were lying on the ground immediately came to help them put on gas masks.

Cheng Dean also quickly turned out the gas mask on his waist and wore it on his face. His originally irritating and itchy nose and hairy throat were loosened as the gas mask was brought on.

"Damn it, it took a long time to make the Japanese apology want to attack with poison gas. Damn, I almost fell for a fool again." Cheng Dean, who breathed a sigh of relief, said to Xue Gang through the gas mask. For Cheng Dean, if he directly attacked with artillery shells at this time, the threat of attacking with poison gas was much greater than that of attacking with poison gas. At the same time, he had to admire Boss Shen. When he was in Wuhan to reorganize the army, in order to equip the gas mask to every officer and soldier, Boss Shen bribed the Deputy Director Ma of the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Originally, some officers and soldiers thought the gas mask was a burden, and they really played a key role at critical moments.

"Since this is the case, we might as well pass the plan." Cheng Dean quickly called the third battalion commander over, and after discussing with Xue Gang, the two of them quickly went to their respective troops to convey the orders.

Cheng Dean's plan was to move all heavy firepower points forward, and the fourteen m2 of the firepower battalion moved to the second trench. Six Maxim and all the light machine guns of the third battalion were ambushed in the first trench by the commander of the third battalion.

After waiting at the foot of the mountain for more than ten minutes to let the poison gas fully exert its toxicity, Okatani Shinzu couldn't wait to lead the first team that had already been wearing a gas mask to advance towards the top of the mountain. The failure of the night attack in the early morning made Okatani Shinzuo feel a sense of anger. This time he tried his best to win the first opportunity to attack the team leader Junichi Yanagi.

In view of yesterday's lesson, the first brigade's Japanese seemed very careful, the straggler line was pulled very quickly, and they always maintained a fighting posture.

He advanced one hundred meters away from the first trench, and there was no movement. Okatani's heart was finally relieved. It seemed that the Chinese army had been killed by poisonous gas, and the opportunity to conquer the Dragon Tiger Platform finally came. The command knife in Okatani's hand, who was ecstatic, waved forward: "Kill for it!"

Amid the howling of Okatani's new work, more than 500 Japanese thrust their bodies suddenly, tightened their feet, and shouted: "Onzai!Onzai!" Stepping on the blood and stiff corpses left by their companions yesterday, he rushed towards the first trench frantically.

The third battalion commander who personally commanded the first trench was a crazy admirer of the division commander Shen Xiuwen. Like the division commander, he always carried a Galand rifle that he used to exchange for from Tang Cheng, the first company commander of the secret service battalion with a sergeant sword seized in the defense of Songjiang. At this time, the star of the Galand rifle had already aimed at Okatani's new work, who was waving the commander's knife.

Just when the Japanese rushed into the 80-meter line, the third battalion commander pulled the trigger. A 7.62mm bullet whizzed out of the gun chamber with a hot wave of air.

The moment the gunshot was blowing, the howling of Okatani Xinzuo who was waving his command knife desperately and howled towards the first trench stopped abruptly. The bullet made a small hole in his forehead, and as it drilled out from the back of his head, a large hole was blown out, and the red and white mixture that flew out splashed the face of the communication soldier who was following him.

The gunshots were orders. Before the charges could react, the twenty-four mortars on the backside, the first trench and the second trench fired at the same time in the roar of the officers.

The extremely perverted firepower net was like a large net incarnation of the God of Death, covering more than 500 Japanese on the hillside. Wherever the fire net passed, there were continuous screams, and Japanese soldiers came to the ground like harvesting wheat.

Six Maxim, less than 80 meters away, twelve Czech styles, and thirty or forty submachine guns, were almost shot without any bullets. Every Japanese who fell to the ground rushed to the front, without exception, was covered with more than a dozen gun holes. However, the most terrifying thing was the firepower net composed of fourteen m2 and 12.7 mm bullets in the second trench, just like a cutting machine. Wherever they went, the Japanese did not even make the last scream, leaving behind flesh and blood and residual limbs.

After rushing to the end, more than 200 Japanese who were lucky enough to lie down before the fire net was slammed, they had not had time to fight back. Eighteen sixty millimeters, six eighty-two millimeter mortar shells were smashing at them one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A loud noise of the earth shaking, the more than 200 Japanese were submerged in the smoke and dust in the sky. A series of orange-red fireballs rose into the air, and the Japanese who were extremely frightened were blown into the air by huge air waves. Several Japanese who really couldn't stand it had just stood up, either hit by flying bullets into hornets or were chopped up by flying shrapnel. Some of them were lying on the ground, hoping to get into the soil, but they were still rolled into the air with the soil, either decomposed or smashed to the ground like a dead pig.

Five minutes, even less than five minutes of firepower raid. More than 500 Japanese in the first brigade completely disappeared on the hillside. Although the entire Third Battalion and the officers and soldiers of the Fire Battalion were still staring at their masterpieces in amazement. Even Cheng Dean in the circular position was stunned.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" However, Cheng Dean, who had just been ringing the alarm by Chen Xiuwen, immediately realized that the Japanese who suffered such a loss would definitely not give up. The fire of revenge was about to fall on his head.
Chapter completed!
