New Warlords 1909

even so.For Shenyang as a whole, "on the evening of July 50, Gu Nian, after more than [-] hours of almost uninterrupted tug-of-war, both sides fell into a period of exhaustion, and needed to adjust the wounded, rest and regain energy. Thousands of soldiers of the National Defense Forces were also evacuated to the rear hospital for treatment because of the gas bomb attack by the Japanese army.

A large number of simple gas mask protectors were urgently transported to the front line, for which the National Defense Forces used almost all of their air force.Used to airdrop these emergency supplies.When the general headquarters received a telegram of the Japanese gas bomb attack.The general headquarters was also full of shock and curses.

However, as expected by Cai Xiao and others, although some staff members proposed retaliatory strikes, more people strongly opposed it and launched a heated debate.Hua Fei, who has always been decisive and quick to make decisions, also pondered for a long time this time, but in the end he just left the headquarters with a heavy back without saying anything.

Cai Jing and the others did not report the poison gas counterattack that was about to be launched, and the original nail tactics in Shenyang and Xinminjian were also cancelled.All reserve troops wear improvised protective gear.If you don't have leather gloves, just put on a thick cotton cover, and then soak it in lime water, leaving only your fingers to pull the trigger.

At dusk, the sun has not yet fully set, struggling on the horizon.It seems to be nostalgic for the joys and sorrows of the world.In the afterglow of the setting sun, dive bombers with blunt warheads flew high from afar.These bombers flew at a relatively slow speed, and seemed to be dragging overwhelmed cargo, making the dull panting sound of an old cow.

The city of Shenyang immediately rowed and issued a warning. Under the premise that the visibility is so good and the fleet is so eye-catching, it is almost impossible for these blunt warhead bombers not to be discovered.

Many officers of the Japanese air defense force knew this hateful blunt warhead. In the eyes of the Japanese army, no matter what blunt warhead he was, he was clearly a sickle that killed people without blood, harvesting the lives of countless Japanese soldiers.But he didn't even care about turning around.

It's just that many Japanese who are ready for anti-aircraft firepower are confused. Since it is a dive bomber, as the name suggests, it has a great advantage in speed compared with ordinary bombers.Moreover, during bombing, due to the dive bombing, the hit rate is higher than that of ordinary bombers, and the plane is not easy to be hit by anti-aircraft fire, and its survivability is extremely high. It is a sharp weapon in naval battles. Strong fighting power.

It's just that these dive bombers have come to the sky above Shenyou, but they don't see any dive offensive. When all the anti-aircraft firepower has been released, they gradually start to speed up.Immediately afterwards, the aerial bombs were thrown down one by one, and then these planes accelerated immediately, one by one quickly pulled up and turned around to return, not to mention how weird it was.

Has the Wehrmacht run out of bluebirds?Need to use a blunt warhead as a bomber?

However, before the doubts of the Japanese soldiers came out, they saw that the bombs fell on the ground but did not explode earth-shatteringly, but one by one, like burning smoke.It quickly spewed out puffs of yellow, even mixed with squeezed color smoke.The smoke quickly filled the urban area, and all the Japanese soldiers shrouded in yellow smoke coughed violently, and then choked their throats extremely uncomfortable, and some fell to the ground immediately.It was extremely painful and naked all over.

This dislike of yellow is not unfamiliar to many Japanese, because in the battle of Wangwang not long ago, many people fired countless guns with yellow smoke at the Chinese army positions

.

"Mustard gas, poison bomb!"

The horrifying roar pierced Shenyang City, and the whole city seemed to be enveloped in death.

Except death.Just a painful death.

329 Killing

Confrontation.Death, death, and attack are the monotonous duo of the Monba War. It is not the cruelest war that the Japanese army has ever encountered, but it is definitely the most difficult battle that the National Defense Force has encountered since its formation.In just a few hours of fighting, the number of casualties in the National Defense Forces alone has reached tens of thousands.

When the preliminary combat casualty report was quickly handed over to Cai Ji, Cai Ji didn't speak, but said after a long silence, "How many reserve troops are there?"

"Report, in addition to the airborne division, there is also a division of marines in Haicheng, on the way of reinforcements. In addition, there are three divisions of the army on standby, plus the commander of your guard division

so much?Cai Leng threw the pencil on the map, and said decisively, "Gather the three divisions on standby, plus my guard division, and make a detour, drive in from the side, and insert it between Shenyang and Xinmin. Cut off the connection between Xinmin and Shenyang. In addition, send electricity to the airborne division and let them go to Tieling to help the North Route Army take Tieling as soon as possible, so as to increase the siege pressure on Shenyang

"But the airborne division is assigned directly to the general headquarters, and we have no right to transfer."

"Then call the commander-in-chief and tell the airborne division to prepare for combat!"

"Commander, it's good that you want to interrupt the connection between Xinmin and Shenyang, but please understand, Commander, that we don't have an advantage at the moment. In this way, the Japanese army in Xinmin will definitely attack the partial division. With this strength alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Get things done." Deputy Commander Xu Shuzheng's attitude is fairly restrained, but there is already dissatisfaction in his words, "If you spend all this reserve force, once a dangerous situation occurs and affects the overall situation, you Cai Songpo may not be able to bear this responsibility."

Cai Jing seemed to have gotten used to Xu Shuzheng's habits, and he simply said, "I know it is difficult to use four divisions to break into the gap between Xinmin and Shenyang. But even if we can't break through, it will definitely interfere with the Japanese army and let our The frontal resistance is reduced. Our army can advance so quickly and continue to compress the encirclement of Xinmin. As long as I attack the waist between Xinmin and Shenyang, then no matter what the Japanese commander plans, he will not tolerate me on his chest. Drive a nail in before. Anyway, it's always good to distract them!"

Is it just a distraction?Cai Jing knew that although he sounded indifferent on the surface of the huge casualty report, he was.This is not only Hua Fei's direct army, but also the country's elite army.Although Cai Feng joined the National Defense Force not long ago, he understands that as long as this army exists on Chinese soil, China's humiliating history of letting others invade will never repeat itself.These are some excellent sons and daughters of China.Although he had to, as the general, Cai Guo always hoped that he could use some actions to expose the Japanese army's flaws, so that he could take advantage of the situation.

"Report!" The guards rushed in from the door, and with just a glance, Cai Feng had already seen the deep night outside and the sky of the battlefield full of flames.He raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was exactly nine o'clock.It had been nine hours since the general offensive started, but the war situation did not come to an end as Cai Feng expected.

"Report. The first army sent an urgent message. The Japanese army in Shenyang City launched a poison gas campaign and fired hundreds of gas bombs at our position. The siege was blocked. Temporarily stalled!"

"What!" Cai Leng shouted.The entire headquarters was also shocked, and even Xu Shuzheng, who was known for his arrogance, showed a horrified expression.

Poison gas warfare is no stranger to everyone present. As early as World War I, the French were the first to use tear gas, and the Germans used armor-containing gas in a Polish town on the Russian border in January. Basic oxygen chemical shell attack.The first large-scale use of chemical weapons was in April of the old year. In the second battle of Ypres, Germany used chlorine gas to attack the coalition forces of France, Canada and Algeria.After that, the two militaries used each other and developed new types of poisonous gases, among which mustard gas, phosgene, and chlorine gas were the main ones. It is estimated that at least ten tons were used in the war.According to official figures, non-fatal casualties caused by chemical warfare agents in the First World War were about [-] million people, and at least [-] people died.

Strictly speaking, the Chinese were the unfortunate first victims of the poison gas war in history.On July [-], [-], the Eight-Power Allied Forces suffered setbacks during the invasion and became angry from embarrassment. They fired several shells at the Wuwei Zuo Junfu camp stationed in Chenjiagou and Xiaoshulin in Tianjin. The shells burst and green smoke Diffuse, those who are in it will die.The body of the deceased was uninjured and had a khaki color.

The artillery shells used by the Eight-Power Allied Forces at that time.It is the notorious gas bomb in later generations.

As a squadron that participated in World War I.Moreover, Hua Fei is always ignorant of chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, and biological weapons, the three world-renowned weapons of mass destruction.However, it is limited to the great aversion to chemical weapons in various countries.It is even a huge social and moral condemnation. Although China has conducted in-depth research on chemical weapons after the war, no one in such a difficult battle as the Northeast War has ever thought of using chemical weapons.First of all, this kind of weapon is too inhumane. It will not only cause damage to soldiers on the battlefield, but also cause indiscriminate damage to all living things within the range of influence due to its uncontrollable killing. It will make living beings feel miserable, life is worse than death, and destroy the environment on which human beings depend for survival.

Therefore, chemical weapons are also called the devil's tears by the world, which is very vivid.

How to put it this way, this is also fighting on the territory of one's own country, not to mention the use of chemical weapons, even when many staff officers are making plans, even radical figures like Li Yue dare not propose the use of such weapons at all.

However, now that the Japanese are under tremendous pressure on Shenyang's defense, they are actually against

"When did the National Defense Forces use chemical weapons? When did they start developing chemical weapons? When did they ship these weapons to China? Why is there no news from the intelligence agencies?

The entire headquarters was buzzing.Looking at the expressions of all the generals, they all gritted their teeth, wishing to tear the Japanese in Shenyang City into pieces, and ravage them tens of thousands of times, but they still couldn't let go of their hatred!

"Does our Wehrmacht have chemical bombs!"

It wasn't long before Cai Ji joined the National Defense Forces. Although he was already a high-ranking commander, he really didn't know about such things.

"Yes!" It was Yu Chengping who spoke. As a very old man in the national defense force, Yu Chengping was the first member of Hua Fei's staff team.Now he is Cai Feng's chief of staff of the East Route Army. Although he is nominally assisting Cai Wei in command, he is actually one of the three minds of the army.And because of Yu Chengping's seniority in the army, his power is not even worse than that of Cai Ji, Xu Shuzheng and others.

If the words of the talented Xu Shuzheng were spoken by Yu Chengping, I am afraid that even Cai Jing would think carefully and dare not give orders on the premise of reaching a consensus.Although Yu Chengping has no right to finally refute Cai Ji's order, Cai Feng is not a fledgling kid after all.He can offend Xu Shuzheng.But he must not have a deadlock with these old men of the Wehrmacht.Otherwise, even if he gained Hua Fei's trust again, he would definitely feel uncomfortable in the army.

Cai Feng is not an idealist, he clearly understands this.If he wanted to stay in the Wehrmacht, and if he wanted to play a bigger role in the rest of his life, he had to properly handle his position in the Wehrmacht and his relationship with the veterans of the Wehrmacht.

So Yu Chengping said yes.Cai Jing was not surprised. On the contrary, if Yu Chengping turned pale with shock, or faltered, then Cai Jing would be disappointed in his heart.Of course, he also knows this kind of disappointment, and he will never encounter it.If this kind of disappointment will be produced.Then Hua Fei would never come to where he is today.

"As early as World War I, the commander-in-chief paid attention to poison gas and secretly launched the National Security Plan [-]. I think many people present have heard of this plan [-], but those who know the details are probably There are not many. In the National Security No. [-] Plan, there are related topics such as the development of chemical weapons and biological weapons, and small defenses.

"After years of research and development, our military's chemical weapons currently have several means of attack. The first is mustard gas, which is known as the king of poisonous gases, the second is the Lewis gas developed by the Americans, and other methods such as phosgene, Poisonous gases such as diphosgene. The main means of attack are shelling and aerial bomb attack!"

"Moreover, our army has long developed a device to prevent and control chemical weapons, and it has been equipped with our national defense forces who went to Europe to participate in the war. It has also been exported in large quantities. It is just because of this decisive battle that we ignored the poison gas attack of the Japanese army, although each army has one. An anti-gas safety company, but compared to the tens of thousands of people in an army, such an anti-gas company is obviously unable to do what it wants. To mobilize anti-gas equipment from the rear, not only do we not have such a huge inventory, but the time alone does not allow us to do so

! ”

"I'm asking about our gas bomb, can it be called immediately?"

Yu Chengping glanced at Cai Pin in surprise. Although he is a veteran and staunch hero of the National Defense Forces, little Yu Chengping keeps calm and keeps a low profile on weekdays.He understood Hua Fei's intentions very well, and he was also very clear.Although Hua Fei is a bit defensive, but when it comes to some issues of principle, he does not allow personal affection at all.this point.No one knows the veterans of the Wehrmacht!

So Yu Chengping cooperated with Cai Feng and others all the way, but he had no partner, and there was nothing unpleasant about it.Hearing Cai Qian's inquiry, Yu Chengping subconsciously understood what Cai Guo wanted to do.He is not as radical as Bai Kaijun. His conservative character determines his character, but he hesitated for a while before saying, "If you want to use poison gas shells, I'm afraid you have to go to several military bases in the autonomous region. If you want to use aerial bombs, I'm afraid There are quite a few reserves in Texas!"

Yu Chengping and others are used to talking about the autonomous region. Although the political system of the autonomous region has long been abolished, everyone can understand what it means.Dezhou's aerial bombs, of course, are the original Texas Beiyang Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

The predecessor of Dezhou Beiyang Machinery Manufacturing Bureau was Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, one of the earliest four major machinery manufacturing bureaus in China.When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, Tianjin Machinery Bureau was destroyed.Later, Yuan Shikai chose to rebuild the Beiyang Machinery Bureau in the southwest garden outside the city of Dezhou, which was later called Dezhou Beiyang Machinery Bureau.

The bureau originally mainly manufactured various bullets, and also produced chemical raw materials such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid for its own use, and semi-finished products such as smokeless medicine.The machinery and equipment of Dezhou Beiyang Machinery Manufacturing Bureau are all imported from Germany and the United Kingdom.Due to the high quality of the products, it is said that there has never been any "stinky fire" in the various bullets produced. Therefore, it has quite a reputation.

The National Defense Forces and the Beiyang Army once fought a big battle in Texas.Later, after the National Defense Forces occupied Dezhou, the Beiyang Manufacturing Bureau was not abandoned. Instead, it continued to invest large-scale funds, carried out a series of modernization, and made full use of it.Today's Texas Manufacturing Bureau has been renamed the Texas Ammunition Arsenal.Specializes in the production of rifle bullets, machine gun bullets, pistol bullets, aviation machine gun bullets, artillery shells, and even landmines, grenades, aerial bombs and other ammunition used by the National Defense Forces.Along with Jiangxi's bullet factory and Hefei's weapons and ammunition factory, it ranks among the country's three major ammunition production bases, which shows its importance in the military's national defense system.

So there is no reason to be puzzled by the mention of Dezhou Xiaocai Feng.It's just that the commander would never have thought of such a terrifying weapon.It is actually produced in Texas and stored locally.If there is an accident, the small consequences are unimaginable!It seems that after the battle is over, it is necessary to give advice to the commander-in-chief.

"Order, all, send a bomber to my warehouse to secretly mount poison and aerial bombs, and wait for orders at any time!

With Cai Cong's order, the entire headquarters became extremely quiet. Everyone stopped their work and looked at Cai Crocodile blankly. They seemed to guess what Cai Feng was going to do. However, could they really do this? ?

"What? Didn't you hear my order?" Cai Pin yelled at the adjutant.

"Commander Cai!" Xu Shuzheng couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "Do you know what you are doing? Who gave you the right to issue this order. As a commander, you and I don't even know if we have the right to use this kind of weapon , so it must be reported to the headquarters, and without approval, such weapons must not be used!"
