Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 133 Those beasts still used poison gas

Seeing that the Type 95 light tank that I had high hopes for had just come on stage, before it had time to show off its power, it was blown up by the Eighth Route Army in front of me using incredible techniques.

Hiramatsu Yuji, the squadron leader of the garrison in Niangziguan, showed a shocked expression, although he had already guessed this result. After all, the enemy had a barrel gun.

But I never expected that the opponent’s **** artillery could fire so accurately! It only took one shell to kill his own tank, without even giving his own artillery a chance to counterattack.

The locusts are up there, it’s getting dark now! You can still achieve this hit rate even with poor vision. When did the Eighth Route Army's artillery become so awesome!

And the enemy carrying the explosive pack is outrageous enough. When did the beggars' explosive packs become so powerful? Just looking at the sound of the explosion, it seems that the materials used are more than the own arsenal.

What's more, that man's strong body skills are completely unreasonable. On a battlefield filled with bullets, he can actually approach a tank without getting hurt while stuck in the shooting blind spot!

 Could it be that after the Slavs and Aryans, the Eighth Route Army also had supermen?

 Although the current war situation is difficult for him to accept, the battle is still going on. The entire squadron has no follow-up means, and only less than 100 of the more than 300 people under its command are left.

The helpless Hiramatsu Ikuji could only look at the commander next to him, even though the other person was not his direct superior. But on the battlefield, it must be someone with a high military rank who takes command.

 But the other party provided a wave of support except when they just arrived at Niangzi Pass. In addition, most of the soldiers under this "colleague" didn't know what they were doing.

 Aware of the helpless and panicked eyes of the people around him, Yamashiro Hisanobu curled his lips with some disdain. Although he only brought 800 people, he was a genuine lieutenant general.

 In a sense, this old devil is somewhat similar to the deceased Kazuki Yamamoto, and he is considered a special talent.

Hisanobu Yamashiro was born in Hiroshima. He once worked at the Okunoshima poison gas factory. Later, by chance, he went to the Army Narashino School, which specializes in training poison gas warfare officers.

 After the full-scale war broke out in 1937, this young man was one of the first gas warfare experts to be transferred to the regiment and participated in the Battle of Jiangcheng.

 Three years of smooth sailing made him look down on those uneducated junior officers.

“Pingsong Jun, do you know why my brother’s country is so dominant on this continent? Obviously the Republic of China has several times more soldiers than us, but we still beat them to the point where they lost their armor and even their capital.”

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Yamashiro Hisanobu turned to look at the battlefield ahead and continued to talk to himself:

“Because our technology is more advanced and we are an industrialized country. Although we are somewhat lacking in resources, we still have hidden allies behind us.”

“The overall situation now is that two industrial countries are fighting against one agricultural country. This is why we are invincible.”

“When the warriors of our younger brother’s country come out to fight, they must have strength and background. The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is very good at fighting, but with the power of technology, they can only be a weakling.”

 After saying this, the devil took a deep breath, as if he was remembering the clean air here.

Looking at the Eighth Route Army in a charging posture directly in front of him, Yamashiro Jiuxin waved and motioned to his adjutant to bring up the equipment he would need later.

Although the number of the attacking Eighth Route Army was almost three times that of our own, the old devil still had a trump card in his hand. That was the poisonous gas that followed his troops to Shimen and was still lying in the train car just a moment ago.

This is why Yamashiro Hisanobu did not send all his soldiers to the front line. After all, these high-tech weapons require professionally trained soldiers even to transport them.

After the adjutant came back, the Japs first handed a set of protective equipment to Hiramatsu Ikuji beside him, and then began to put it on by himself.

"Hiramatsu-kun, put it on quickly. If you don't want to be accidentally injured, remember to wrap yourself up tightly. Although our original mustard gas has been used up, the power of the green tube and red tube is not small."

After hearing this, Ping Songyu hurriedly put the things handed over by the other party on his body.

He had always had a question before, but he didn't dare to ask because the other party's military rank was too high. He didn't understand why Yamashiro Hisanobu brought many soldiers but did not carry heavy weapons.

 Now Ikuji Hiramatsu knows the answer to this question. These reinforcements are troops engaged in chemical warfare! As far as the current situation is concerned, the heavy weapons are not as powerful as the poison gas bombs in their hands.

 Seeing that the lieutenant beside him was almost ready, Yamashiro Hisanobu showed a cruel smile. Coupled with the gas mask on the other person's face, he looked like a demon wandering around the world.

“Hiramatsu-kun, I’ll give you a minute to get your men back quickly. These food-wasting **** like you are of some use, and I’ll need you to clean up the battlefield with my men later.”

After saying this, he ordered to his adjutant:

"Activate special bombs! The wind direction is in our favor today! Don't be afraid of waste! I will bear any responsibility!"

After receiving the order from their superiors, dozens of Japanese soldiers wearing protective clothing and gas masks came to the artillery position carrying boxes. In order to resolve the battle quickly, Yamashiro Hisanobu took out half of his inventory.

 The wind is northwest now, which is when the utilization rate of poisonous gas is highest. The one fly in the ointment is that the wind speed is a bit big, but their inventory more than makes up for it.

 As long as the volume is large enough, no wind will affect their performance.

 Although it feels a bit like using anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes, if you can defeat the opponent's two regiments, it will be all worth it.

According to Yamashiro Hisanobu's experience in marching and fighting over the years, not only will he not be punished, but he will most likely be rewarded.

The old devil seemed to see himself being promoted to the rank of colonel. He excitedly pulled out his command sword and shouted to the soldiers behind him:

 “Ready to launch!”

After hearing the order, one hundred and nine gas bombs were carefully taken out by the Japanese. Even they themselves were very afraid of these green and red weapons.

After receiving the adjutant’s signal, these Japanese soldiers used projectors and grenade launchers to fire gas bombs at the Eighth Route Army’s position.

　　——————

The perspective switches back to the Independent Regiment and the Fifth Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

Just after the two tanks were killed, the soldiers prepared to pursue the victory and take Niangziguan Station in one go.

　　But the Japanese, who were originally fearless and fearless, suddenly began to fight and retreat. Less than two minutes passed, and in these small days, they gave up the newly recaptured forward position.

Suddenly, a harsh whistling sound sounded in the air. One after another, the artillery shells drew arc trajectories in the air and quickly landed in the original fighting area and behind the troops.

 Seeing this situation, Captain Chen and Kong Jie couldn't help but frown deeper.

 But after a few seconds, the two people's expressions became extremely ugly, and things developed beyond their expectations. Both regiment leaders were veterans and responded quickly, commanding their men to respond immediately.

“Poison gas! The Japanese have released poison gas! If you have a gas mask, put it on quickly! If you don’t have one, retreat immediately and leave the battlefield to others!”

Soon, puffs of smoke gradually rose from where the Japanese shells fell.

Even without being reminded by their own regimental commanders, the comrades knew that the frantic little devils were forced to use their trump card, gas bombs, after successive attacks failed. Although many soldiers have not seen the dangers of poison gas with their own eyes, the large-scale killing weapons passed down by veterans made everyone move quickly.

“Wear gas masks! Check your clothes and try not to expose any skin! Those without equipment should evacuate quickly! Hurry, hurry!”

At the urging of junior officers, the comrades immediately opened the small iron buckets on their waists and took out the new equipment issued by the Logistics Department some time ago.

Although everyone’s movements seemed a little clumsy, it was just because of nervousness. After getting the gas mask, almost all the soldiers have practiced it more than ten times. Those who are not qualified cannot get this foreign thing at all.

 After a while, the poisonous gas enveloped the entire battlefield, and some even drifted toward distant villages along the northwest wind.

At this time, there were almost 800 people left on the position who were sticking to their posts. Most of the soldiers without masks had left the battlefield, and only a few who were too deep had not had time to evacuate.

 In desperation, they had no choice but to resort to the old method of peeing. Not only do you have to pee on the cloth, but you also have to pee on your face.

 In the past, when the Japanese used poison gas, no matter which war zone the troops were in, they would not give up their positions easily.

The most common defensive method for soldiers who lack support equipment is to urinate on a piece of cloth, then cover their mouth and nose with this piece of cloth and continue fighting.

At that time, people's cultural level was not high and they did not understand the principles of enemy poison gas. They did this no matter what kind of poison gas they faced. He even did the same thing later on the peninsula when facing another group of Japanese soldiers with different skin colors.

 This method is not the most scientific, but it is the most reasonable and effective choice under the current difficult conditions.

 Because when many soldiers encountered poisonous gas, they never thought that they could escape unscathed today. I just hope that I can hold on a little longer and find opportunities to kill a few more little devils to make my sacrifice more valuable.

Their willpower is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Many people can endure the pain and continue fighting even if they have broken arms and legs. It doesn’t matter if they have ulcers all over their bodies.

However, this tragedy did not happen, not only because the troops had gas masks, but also because the Japanese did not use mustard gas or Lewis gas.

Yamashiro Hisanobu mainly used green tubes and red tubes this time.

The main raw material of the green tube is benzyl chloroacetophenone, which is a highly irritating white poisonous gas that can cause various adverse reactions such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and tearing when humans inhale it.

 And the more the amount is inhaled, the stronger the reaction will be, and even there will be a certain fatality rate at high concentrations.

 When the Japs used these poisonous gases, in order to pursue efficiency and make the enemy lose resistance quickly, they set the concentration of the poisonous gas to be particularly high.

 As a result, some troops who do not have anti-virus equipment often experience fatal cases.

 Another type of gas used by the Japanese is red tube, which is a sneeze-type poisonous gas whose main raw material is diphenylcyanoarsine.

This poison gas is characterized by its quick effect. Soldiers will sneeze and vomit uncontrollably in less than a minute without protection.

 When the time comes, forget about fighting. Being able to stand still is considered good health.

 It is because of this characteristic that poison gas made from sneeze-type poisons has become the most widely used by little devils in various war zones.

The reason why cloth strips with diapers can temporarily prevent the above two poisonous gases is that it can filter and block the flow of the smoke layer, allowing part of the poisonous gases to evaporate along with the moisture absorbed by the cloth strip itself.

 Another reason is hydrolysis. Some poisons will split when exposed to water and subsequently lose their toxicity. And because soldiers cannot eat high-protein foods that fix acid, their urine is alkaline.

 Alkali can be said to be the natural enemy of all acidic gases, and it also promotes the hydrolysis of poisonous gases.

 The cloth strips in the hands of the soldiers provided them with the guarantee of escaping the poison. As long as you don't stay in the poisonous fog for too long, you can leave this area safely.

The reason why yellow tubes are more difficult to wrap is because the poisonous gas can penetrate textiles and is difficult to dissolve in water.

This erosive poisonous gas can be effective even without passing through the respiratory system. It can penetrate into the skin through all pores on the human body surface and destroy your body.

Fortunately, Yamashiro Hisanobu's troops did not carry yellow tubes this time, otherwise I don't know what would have happened on the position.

 In the temporary command post, Commander Kong Jie and Commander Chen looked ahead with some worry. It was surrounded by poisonous gas and almost nothing could be seen.

 “You **** little devil, he actually hid some poisonous gas! He deserves to be damned!”

 Hearing Kong Jie's curse, Captain Chen was also very angry. Although their fifth regiment is equipped with relatively many gas masks, this is the first time they have tested the quality of the equipment in actual combat.

 He tightened his grip on the shell gun in his hand, and was very worried about the soldiers on the front line.

 At this moment, people were gradually withdrawing from the poisonous fog. Although their condition does not look very good, at least their lives are not in danger.

 Seeing this situation, the two captains breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, a company commander belonging to the fifth regiment retreated from the front line. After seeing his commanders and soldiers, he immediately trotted forward to report the situation on the front line.

“Commander, this thing issued by the Logistics Department works really well this time. The poison gas of the little devil is just like a fake, and we have nothing to do with it.”

 After hearing the news, Captain Chen finally put his anxious heart into his stomach.

He turned to look at Kong Jie, only to find that the other person was also staring at him. Through the eye shield of the gas mask, you can still see this famous honest man in northern Shanxi winking at him.

“Old Chen, before your regiment sets off, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region should also teach you a new tactic.”



“Hahaha, of course! This time I must make those **** remember it for a long time! Let’s collect some interest today! One day, I will let the devils pay back their capital with interest!”

I'm coming
