The smoke-filled river mouth position was devastated, with large and small craters and inhuman corpses everywhere. The air was filled with the smell of blood and burnt smell...
The Hayata brigade was stationed here. Three hours after the war started, the Japanese army successively sent two full-strength brigade reinforcements here. There were only a few positions that were originally crowded.
A total of more than 3,000 people have been fighting, and now less than half are left. It is impossible to imagine how terrifying the opponent's offensive firepower is. The little devils can only huddle in the tunnel fortifications to avoid artillery shells and air strikes, and reappear when the enemy charges to counterattack.
"Let's all go out! Collect ammunition, check weapons and equipment, let's go to the library!"
"morning
The officers' shouts echoed in the empty land. The Japanese soldiers were like ants emerging from their holes, and the densely packed ranks refilled the originally uninhabited trenches.
"call...
Team leader Kitamura climbed out of the tunnel and quickly shook off the dirt on his body. The muzzle of the rifle in his hand was blocked by sand. He had no choice but to find a pipe brush to clear the barrel, otherwise the barrel would explode when he fired. risks of.
The bodies of our comrades outside and the blown sandbags still need to be dealt with, the damaged trench fortifications need to be repaired as soon as possible, and those comrades buried underground by the sand...
Under the command of the officers, countless Japanese soldiers began to get busy. The little devils all knew that there was not much time left for them, and the opponent might launch another attack anytime and anywhere.
Not to mention those whose lives were uncertain, the injured soldiers could not be dealt with too much. They could only be hastily bandaged and sent to the bunker in the rear, leaving a grenade to let them fend for themselves.
"Kitamura-kun, the others..." Captain Cao of the team ran over with a disgraced look.
"They haven't come out yet. We are the only ones left in the team."
Kitamura lay on the trench and preached with lingering fear. After speaking, he did not forget to look back at the hole behind him.
Just when the shelling hit just now, most of the tunnel he was staying in was destroyed, and most of the team was buried underneath. He and several of his companions were lucky enough to hide at the corner of the tunnel and survived, but the other men did not make it out alive. There was a layer of soil several meters thick above the tunnel. It was impossible to rescue them in this situation, so the commander could only order them to be abandoned.
"Kitamura-kun, Team 63's Aragaki-kun is broken. You go over and take over the command. They are in the second ring fortification on the right. The location there is very important. I will send you a machine gun team later."
"Hey!"
Beicun agreed quickly, but when he heard about the place, his heart suddenly went cold.
But there was no way. He couldn't resist the squadron leader's order. Kitamura could only stand up and accept it silently, preparing to take the few remaining soldiers to report to Team 68.
"Captain Xikasi, I just observed that the Chinese seem to have withdrawn their troops. Should we rearrange our defense lines?"
Before leaving, the attentive Kitamura said one more thing. The team's position is in the middle of the defense line. Although it has a wide view and is a good fire support point, its position is very far forward.
It's like a big man standing guard in an alley with a machine gun. He seems to be the only one who can stop ten thousand others, but he has also become the main target of the enemy's first attack.
In the past, such a machine gun ring fortification could block the attack of two to three hundred people, but now the opponent's support firepower is not blocked. The infantry can't push it and directly bombards it. Otherwise, if the plane drops bombs, this It took a long time to fight off the two teams, and it was more likely to be a disaster for him.
Therefore, he wanted to propose changing the position of the firepower point. Don't stand in front so brainlessly. It was purely an act of killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred.
"Baga, this is not something you should worry about!" The squadron leader ignored it and instead reprimanded him loudly.
He couldn't see that the Chinese were withdrawing their troops. Even the US fighter planes that had been non-stop that day had stopped at this moment.
As the saying goes, there is always a monster when something goes wrong, and the Chinese will definitely make bigger moves next.
It's a pity that their fate has already been determined. No matter how the enemy changes, they will never be able to escape unscathed.
call out..
Just as the squadron leader was meditating, a sound of breaking through the air came towards him. Most of the Japanese soldiers heard it very quietly. It was the sound of artillery shells hitting!
"The book is hidden!'
'Bombardment!'
Horrified shouts came one after another. The Japanese soldiers hurriedly threw themselves into the trenches and subconsciously ran towards the tunnel fortifications.
The kid's conditioned reflex was blown out by the two days of continuous shelling. As soon as he heard the screams, he didn't dare to stay on the position. The opponent's shelling was not only powerful but also very sparse. If he slowed down a little, he might be in danger. It will turn into a puddle of mud.
Within a moment, the artillery shells exploded on the position, but what is surprising is that this time the artillery bombardment was not as expected. It was just a few sparsely packed artillery shells that gathered on the position, and the explosion power was not as powerful as in the past. , causing almost no casualties.
Just when the little devil was puzzled, light green thin smoke slowly rose from the place where the shell exploded, and slowly spread to the surroundings as the wind blew.
There seemed to be a vague smell of bitter almonds in the air. Before the Japanese soldiers present could react, the little Japanese soldier who was closest suddenly felt that he could breathe easily. His chest seemed to be blocked by a huge boulder and he was very breathless. Then his pupils stopped constricting, and his body began to twitch very quickly involuntarily.
Their faces turned red and their eyes popped out. Red spots of different sizes appeared on their bodies instantly. Their consciousness gradually blurred. In just a few seconds, a large number of Japanese soldiers covered their throats and the small ones fell to the ground. They even screamed for help. Unable to speak out, he could only fall to the ground and twitch in despair.
"It's poison gas! Run!"
"Ahem, wait! Help-.I..."
"Ahem...ah
The atomized "Taben poison" quickly spread and volatilized in the air, and the light green smoke moved mysteriously, constantly harvesting the lives of the little devils wherever it went like a scythe of death.
Not far away, Beicun seemed to have fallen into a ten-meter ice cave. A chill penetrated his body from head to toe. Before the officer could say anything, he turned around and ran towards the tunnel entrance.
The squadron leader was also frightened by the scene before him. He felt as if he was struck by lightning as he listened to the exclamations and wails of his men, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
"Ha Ya Ku! Cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel and all enter the underground fortifications! Quick! Move..."
The situation was too late to think about. The squadron leader quickly stood on the sandbag and wanted to call the soldiers to take shelter in the tunnel. But before he could say a few words, he suddenly felt as if something was stuck in his neck.
"Ahem. Ahem, how come?"
The poisonous fog was obviously far away, so why was he also poisoned?
The squadron leader was clutching his neck and feeling extremely happy. Just as he was about to run away, he found that his limbs were gradually losing strength, and he was sweating all over his body. Then his body spasmed and twitched uncontrollably, and he could only make a swallowing sound like something stuck in his throat.
"ah!!"
"Assist the aircraft to fly!"
Kitamura and several companions covered their mouths and noses with wet towels and ran forward desperately along the trench.
The desolate wails of soldiers in the distance continued to reach their ears, which further stimulated everyone's nerves, and their desire to survive forced them not to stop for a moment.
"Oda-kun, turn right ahead, go right!" Kitamura hurriedly shouted to his dizzy companion who was running in front of him. He almost ran the wrong way while he was panicking and calming down.
"I know, hurry up...
boom!
boom!
boom!
In front of them was the entrance to the tunnel, and they were hoping to escape just a stone's throw away, but at this moment a new round of shelling completely destroyed their hopes.
Several gas bombs exploded again on the Japanese position, and one of them happened to land far away from the Kitamura group. Oda, who was running at the front, was the first to bear the brunt, and the choking smoke instantly swallowed him up.
"Ahem..."
The blast of air from the explosion made people's chest feel tight, and they couldn't help but gasp and cough.
Ruined!
This was the last thought in Beicun's mind. As the bitter apricot smell hit his nostrils, an indescribable joy immediately surged into his heart.
His eyes were bulging, but his pupils shrank to the size of needlepoints. His breathing was not smooth. His whole body suddenly stopped violently twitching, his legs kicked wildly, and his abdomen was in severe pain like a knife.
Immediately afterwards, it was like ten thousand steel needles piercing into the scalp, the pain in the head was unbearable, muscles all over the body spasmed, and all the clothes were soaked with sweat.
In less than a minute, he was unconscious. A large amount of saliva flowed from his mouth, and he ended up with convulsions and incontinence of urine and feces. He was no longer human.
Gradually - Kitamura's body has stopped twitching, his eyes are wide open but have lost the luster of life, and what has also stopped... is his heartbeat.
The scary thing about nerve gas is that it is extremely lethal and volatile. In addition to the respiratory tract, it can also affect the human body through skin contact, and even a small person can die if he inhales a trace dose.
Liquid poisons are highly volatile when exposed to the air. The floating smoke is just a catalyst. The real poison has already spread in the air. It is invisible and intangible, but it can kill people invisible!
Hiding in the tunnel can only delay the spread of poisonous gas bombs, but the pervasive poisonous gas can also enter and kill any existing life. Unless you can put on a gas mask immediately and stay away from the killing zone of poisonous gas bombs, otherwise, death is just A matter of time.
In this era, except for atomic bombs, nothing can cause more damage than biological and chemical weapons.
In just a few minutes, a large number of Japanese soldiers stopped breathing on the battlefield. Those who were poisoned were extremely happy, and their death was indescribable. The little devils have often dealt with biological and chemical weapons, but they have never seen such poisonous gas. It only takes a few minutes to kill, and there is no time to find cover or wear a mask.
The Hekou position has become a hell on earth. Countless little devils have been mercilessly killed by the "ta collapse". They have no time to escape in the face of the desperate lethality. As long as they are slightly exposed to the poisonous gas, they will die in an instant.
And the same tragic situation continues to occur throughout Mandalay's peripheral defense line...
