Moreover, due to the expansion of the battlefield, the aviation fleet has been continuously split up to support the front line. The number of sorties dispatched to Yin Rawady Province alone is no less than 30 every day. Looking at the number of fighters in Yangon that can come to fight, it is already huge. Discounted.
"Jin Zuo, our core strategic plan is to eat the tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Yangon City, but the current situation makes us in a dilemma. If we do not solve the problem of the opponent's warships, the casualties of our soldiers will reach a terrifying number. .”
Chen Jize, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and preached. His words were also the most difficult problem faced by everyone.
If they had carried out a violent attack regardless of casualties, they would have entered Yangon City two months ago. But breaking through the defense line and entering the city was not the end. What awaited them was an even more cruel beginning.
There were not only hundreds and thousands of people inside, but tens of thousands of well-equipped Japanese soldiers. Among them, the Second Division and the Sixteenth Division were not low in combat effectiveness. The other side was also waiting for the expeditionary force soldiers to rush into the city. Street fighting inside.
Just because they did not want to use the tactic of killing a thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred, the two sides faced off for a long time outside Yangon City.
During this period, both sides were not idle. The battlefield became a stage for artillery and aviation. The heavy artillery brigade was divided into three parts and deployed in the west triangle northeast of Yangon. The artillery units of each regiment also took turns to go into battle, and they had to attack each other every day. It takes several tons of artillery shells to stop it.
The little devils are not passively beaten. Their fleet will find opportunities to come closer from time to time and bombard the expeditionary force's forward positions.
Sometimes a reconnaissance plane discovered the location of the artillery position of the heavy artillery brigade, and soon a large number of artillery shells would fall. This made the two brothers Li Liansheng and Krupp ashamed every day, playing hide-and-seek with the opponent's naval guns like hide-and-seek.
No one who has seen the power of the 203 heavy artillery is willing to fight against that thing on the battlefield. Everything within a forty-meter radius will be killed when the gun comes down.
More than a month ago, the 9th Battalion of the Third Main Regiment was covered by enemy artillery fire during an exploratory attack. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than half of the battalion suffered casualties. If it had not been withdrawn quickly, not many people would have been left.
But this made Bu Bu, the leader of the third regiment, very angry, and the terrifying power made the soldiers still feel uneasy.
"The enemy's navy has no good way to deal with it for the time being, but we don't necessarily have to fight their fleets..."
After speaking, Liao Mingyu hesitated for a moment with his hands behind his back, and finally looked at Yu Sifan aside:
"Sifan, it's up to you to tell everyone what your intelligence department has discovered."
"yes!"
Yu Sifan looked solemn and immediately replied seriously: "Half a month ago, someone discovered a Japanese fortress in Gama Village in central Mandalay Province...
The local villagers thought that the Japanese army had hurriedly evacuated and did not destroy the facilities. They felt that there must be good things inside, so they entered the fortress one after another to prepare for the autumn wind. "
"Not long after, there was no news from the villagers who went in. Only one lucky guy ran out, but he soon developed high fever, cough and nausea, as well as convulsions all over his body. It didn't take long. Then he died..."
poison gas!
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. Anyone who has experienced the Little Japanese gas bomb will never forget the feeling. It turns out that the Little Japanese has never stopped studying these biological and chemical weapons for a moment.
As Yu Sifan narrated, everyone knew the whole story.
After receiving the report at that time, the Intelligence Ministry's special agent battalion rushed to the area and found many dead Japanese soldiers in the fortress. Their death forms were different, and most of the corpses were clutching their throats with their hands.
Soon, the soldiers of the special agent battalion wearing protective clothing discovered a large number of chlorine and mustard gas storage tanks deep in the fortress, as well as corresponding sub-container shells, as well as some numbers and information of the Gangzi 9420 unit.
After careful investigation, it was found that this fortress should have been bombed by Allied aircraft during the Battle of Mandalay. It may be due to the mountain structure that the explosion of the bomb caused the collapse of one of the passage chambers, resulting in the leakage of poisonous gas.
As a result, none of the little devils inside were poisoned to death by his own poisonous gas, which was considered their retribution.
Maybe the US military pilots who carried out the bombing mission didn't know that they killed a Japanese biochemical force in one go.
Then again, if they hadn't hit it by mistake, these gas bombs might have been used on the expeditionary force attacking Mandalay in the end, which was lucky.
There were six tons of poison gas bombs found, about 560 of them, most of which were chlorine bombs and a small amount of mustard gas.
So many biological and chemical weapons are also a headache for the spy battalion. After all, they are not professional biological and chemical troops.
The storage and safekeeping of poison gas bombs is already a difficult problem, and these gadgets made by the little devils are very unstable like time bombs. If you are not careful, they will backfire on you. If you lose them, you will not release them, which makes people worried.
However, when Liao Mingyu learned the news, he became happy. He was worried that he would not be able to deal with the tens of thousands of Japs in Yangon City. Isn't this the way to go?
In fact, you can also exchange it from the system for another biochemical weapon that has been unlocked before - Tabeng.
However, this nerve agent is too lethal and can easily cause accidental injuries. It is also extremely soluble in water and will pollute the environment in the area where it is released.
In addition to the little devils, there are also some local people in Yangon City. If tabeng or mustard gas is used, it is likely to turn the entire city into a hell. All living creatures in it will cease to exist, and the poisoning effect will last for a long time. , even if it is captured within a short period of time, it will be difficult for our own troops to approach.
Compared with tabun and mustard gas, chlorine gas is relatively gentle. People who are poisoned after inhaling high concentrations of chlorine will develop pulmonary edema within minutes to hours. They may cough up a large amount of white or pink foamy sputum, have difficulty breathing, and become limp all over. will lose combat effectiveness.
Although the poisoning reaction is relatively slow, and the fatality rate is not as high as that of mustard gas and tabeng, the advantage is that it is less polluting, and it is easy to clean up the poison after the war, so that it will not cause
"So everyone is clear, right!?"
Liao Mingyu suddenly shouted loudly, and began to look around everyone with cold eyes. Everyone seemed to feel a dull murderous aura emanating from him.
"The five tons of chlorine gas bombs will be delivered to Yongsheng Town tonight, along with a batch of 92 infantry cannons. The Japs' poison gas bombs are all 70-caliber. They can only be fired with that thing."
As he spoke, Liao Mingyu looked at Li Liansheng and Chen Jize: "Your heavy artillery brigade is ready to receive it. I will arrange for the special agent battalion to work with you to make all battle preparations before eight o'clock tomorrow morning! Do you hear me clearly?"
"clear!"
"Yes! Junzuo!"
The two of them were shocked and immediately stood upright and replied.
"From now on, everyone will return to their respective units to organize their teams, distribute ammunition inspection equipment, make all pre-war preparations, and be ready for orders at any time!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed in unison. Those present were all senior leaders of several main divisions. How could they not understand the meaning of their words?
Although it was a bit cruel, they didn't know why, but when they thought of giving the little devil a gift package of gas bombs, they were all gearing up and felt a little excited.
"This big gift was originally intended to be given to us by the little Japs, but we Chinese are a country of etiquette. We don't receive rewards for no merit, so it is wise to return it to them intact."
Liao Mingyu smiled evilly. He would not talk about humanitarianism towards the Japanese. Those dwarfs brought all this on themselves.
Anyway, it's not the first time. It's nothing more than treating the other person with his own medicine. But by tomorrow, the battlefield that has been facing each other for two months will undergo earth-shaking changes.
