Chapter 164: If you were in my shoes, would you be able to rest in peace?
Xiao Ye was talking nonsense, and Brigade Commander Wang probably understood. The Sichuan Army didn't have gas masks, so it was easy for them to be killed by their own poison gas.
He said, "Well, I will lead the troops to retreat three kilometers, and then we can come back to help."
"Okay." Ono nodded and added, "Don't worry, we will definitely leave the artillery and shells for you, and give you some food by the way."
"Food is fine, but we are short of ammunition." Brigade Commander Wang was a little embarrassed. As for food, they could make do with a pickle, but without ammunition, that was really not an option.
The Sichuan Army went down, and all the troops of the special forces regiment entered the trenches. Zhou Weiguo was fine after the deployment. He glanced at Xiao Ye who was sitting on the ammunition box and drinking to kill time; "Xiao Ye, how can you say that this was from the group army?"
What does this have to do with the group army?
Ono snorted, "See, you don't know how to plot. Once the poison gas is used, those evil guys will definitely investigate. Our independent regiment is small and can't tolerate their tossing and turning. Let the higher-ups bear the blame."
"That makes sense, Xiaoye, you really are my think tank and talent." Zhou Weiguo gave a thumbs up, he really hadn't thought of this.
At dawn, smoke was rising from the Japanese positions in the distance. Countless machine gun positions and mortar positions in the back of the Japanese front line were visible everywhere.
All of these are within the firepower range of our field artillery.
"Arrogant. They are just bullying him because the Sichuan Army lacks firepower. If he wants to try with me, I will definitely blow him up so badly that his parents won't recognize him." Zhou Weiguo put down the telescope and sighed; "A bunch of bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. It was like this in Shanghai and it's still like this here."
Fang Shengli kept his eyes fixed on the weather vane not far away. The wind was blowing towards the Japanese army.
"Weiguo, we can fight now." Fang Shengli didn't want to discuss anything else. What's the point of discussing? Anyway, today's three brigades are doomed.
"Let's start." Zhou Weiguo rubbed his temple and signaled Xu Hu to give the order.
Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…
The field artillery launched the first attack, and the Japanese front-line positions were immediately covered in dust.
Tian Jing took the gas mask from the side and handed it to Zhou Weiguo.
At the end of the bombardment, all eight poison gas bombs were fired.
The pale yellow smoke, covered by dust, drifted everywhere.
Zhou Weiguo has officially handed over the tank company to Xu Hu. He is not confident in handing this force over to other people. As for the original special forces company, Zhou Weiguo can only take charge of it temporarily and take over this position after finding someone else.
One minute after the shelling, tanks, armored vehicles and trucks rushed out first.
Following behind them was still the first battalion.
It was Huang Laoyao’s first time to conduct infantry and artillery coordination. He didn’t understand anything, but he knew to let his brothers follow behind the brothers they were familiar with.
With a big knife on his back and a rifle in his hand, Huang Laoyao felt dizzy.
He still hasn't accepted the fact that this... this is really the unit he is in.
There were many people who had the same idea as him. Some of the wounded soldiers who had retreated from Shanghai and the brother troops who followed them were also dizzy at this moment.
The front-line command post in the rain was only a hundred meters away from the front line. He was still resting when the shelling began.
Awakened by the sound of artillery fire, he stood up, casually familiarized himself with the situation, and then went to the entrance of the bunker to observe the situation on the opposite side.
"Reinforcements arrived last night. Judging from the size of the force, it must be an artillery battalion."
The chief of staff next to him thought about it and felt that he was responsible for this matter because he didn't know when the other party came up.
"No matter how many of them come, they will only add to our military merits."
The chief of staff cleverly changed the subject. Yu Zhong didn't dwell on this issue. In his heart, he agreed with the chief of staff's opinion.
"Find out the location of their artillery and destroy it." Yu Zhong leisurely gave an order and then sat on a chair made of ammunition boxes.
Next, all he had to do was wait for news of victory.
When he sat down to rest, the Japanese soldiers at the front had been poisoned and rolled back and forth on the ground. They ignored the drifting poison gas and continued to drift to the back.
When a staff officer of the brigade headquarters fell down, Yu Zhong had not yet reacted to why his own staff officer fell to the ground. After the first, second, and radio soldier fell down, he also fell to the ground shortly after them.
The difficulty in breathing made him realize one thing instantly: the other party had used poison gas bombs.
If you are not prepared at all, you will become a victim of carelessness.
Who could have imagined that they would be the first to use poison gas? Where is the mercy they promised? They don't have even a little bit of mercy in their hearts.
He opened his eyes wide with reluctance in the rain. He was just a little bit away from becoming a dazzling new star. But now, all of this was destroyed by a poison gas bomb.
His own reputation will be even worse than that of his predecessor, because this is the second time that the brigade has been defeated by others. The Sixth Division will never be able to raise its head again.
Hate...
"Did this guy die with his eyes open?" Zhou Weiguo, accompanied by Fang Shengli and a few others, stepped on the corpses on the ground and came to the Japanese front-line command post.
There were many bodies in the front-line command center. There was a row of corpses among the radio soldiers. Some of the rest fell in front of the map, and a few fell in front of the telephone.
Zhou Weiguo found the corpse in the rain. The man fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and his command knife was thrown aside. His eyes, filled with resentment and hatred, looked in the direction of his attack.
"Hurry, move it away for me." Xiao Ye came in and shouted to Chen Ning to move the things. After giving the order, he saw Zhou Weiguo and several others surrounding a corpse.
He put his hands behind his back and walked over to take a look. "Well, another one was killed." He saw the command knife next to him, walked over to pick it up and said with a click of the tongue. "This knife can be sold for at least another two thousand dollars."
Zhou Weiguo turned his head and looked at Xiao Ye, which was a reminder to him that he was scolding his father for being stupid and rich.
Ono had no such intention and was not aware of the problem. He held up his command knife and walked up to the men. "What are you looking at?"
Fang Shengli pointed at the body on the ground and said, "Look at the way it died with its eyes open."
Ono squatted down and touched it, then took off the money and the gold ring on his finger and laughed, "The 36th Brigade was reorganized to avenge the previous shame. They are finally going to succeed. Once they succeed, they will be able to move up to a higher position and rank, but all this..."
The independent regiment was destroyed abruptly. Who would feel good about this? And who wouldn't have any resentment?
"Old Fang, he finally got the credit, but the brigade was destroyed. Do you think he can rest in peace? If it were you, would you be able to close your eyes?"
