Chapter 740 The National Salvation Army was defeated!
Huang Hu quickly looked at the position of a company, and more than a dozen smoke rose near the trenches.
Instead of rising into the air like the thick smoke produced by the explosion of shells, they quickly spread around, and in the blink of an eye they enveloped a series of positions.
In the trenches, as long as the soldiers who had been exposed to these smoke were coughing violently, some soldiers who had inhaled too much poison gas had already fallen to the ground and rolled, covering their necks with their hands and breathless, and some soldiers foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground without any movement...
"Captain, the artillery position was also attacked by Japanese poisonous gas bombs..." Another communication soldier rushed over with panic on his face.
"Captain, there are poisonous gas bombs in the second company's position..."
"A bunch of beasts actually used poison gas bombs on us, which was worse than pigs and dogs!" Huang Hu felt so sad that he saw it, his face turned red because of his anger, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
After scolding, he was anxious to order: "We are not equipped with gas masks. If we continue to fight, the soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties under the attack of poison gas bombs!"
"Tell me the order: the entire army retreats, evacuate the offensive position as fast as possible, and stay away from the attack range of poison gas bombs!"
"Let the soldiers cover their noses and mouths with wet towels when retreating to reduce the harm of poison gas bombs to us!"
"Communication squad, immediately contact the offensive troops from other directions. The Japanese had poisonous gas bombs. Regardless of whether they were attacked or not, they would all evacuate the offensive position for me...
At the head of the East Gate of Jinzhong, watching the poisonous gas bombs slowly spreading into the attacking position of the National Saving Army, the Japanese Zhongzuo was very happy, and a long-lost smile finally flashed on his serious face.
"Sir, the National Rescue Army seems to be retreating!" the captain shouted excitedly.
"Start two flares immediately!" Nakasa looked at the attacking position outside the city while ordering, his face full of expectations.
There were several locations above the position where the poison gas was particularly strong. Many soldiers of the National Savior Army had been poisoned and died and fell to the ground motionless.
Where the poison gas is slightly thinner, the level of poisoning in the National Rescue Army is deep and shallow.
The warrior who had weak resistance and did not cover his nose and mouth with a wet towel in time had foamed at his mouth and fell to the ground without moving.
The soldiers who took self-protection in time were slightly better, but they would definitely not last long on the poisonous position, so they had to support each other to evacuate the battlefield. From time to time, some people fell to the ground because they were too deeply poisoned...
The attacking position, which was crowded just now, was completely quiet in just 10 or 20 minutes. Looking around, there were corpses on the position, and there were corpses!
"Yo Xi, the poison gas bomb is indeed powerful. He killed hundreds of national rescue troops after only firing less than a hundred. If he had known this, we should have used the poison gas bomb last night!" The captain shouted excitedly, as if he had killed the national rescue troops outside the city.
"Report to Chief: Nanmen City Defense Forces reported that the National Salvation Army on their side also retreated. Under the attack of our army's poisonous gas bombs, the enemy left at least 200 bodies!" The telephone soldier suddenly appeared behind Zhongzuo, reporting with a happy look on his face.
"Sir, the National Salvation Army in the north has also retreated, with more than 150 corpses left!" Two minutes later, the telephone soldier appeared behind Zhongzuo again.
A few minutes later, good news came out of the North Gate that the National Rescue Army had retreated.
At this time, the poison gas shrouded outside the east gate had dissipated, and the captain beside him was concentrating on counting the bodies left by the National Salvation Army on the offensive position.
The whole person was like eating honey. The more he counted the smile on his face, the stronger the smile on his face. After counting, he almost jumped up from the ground and quickly reported: "Sir, our side is the main attack direction of the National Savior Army. I just counted it. There were more than 350 corpses left on the attacking position of the National Savior Army. The artillery positions were too far away from us, and the results of the battle were not determined for the time being, but with the performance of poison gas bombs on other battlefields, the National Savior Army artillery troops would leave at least fifty corpses!"
"That's how we counted it. The National Rescue Army left more than 1,200 corpses outside Jinzhong City just now. This is not the case with the wounded they carried away and the corpses we did not count in the trench."
"Many evacuated national rescue troops have sucked a lot of poison gas, but their resistance is slightly stronger and they still have a breath, but they definitely can't hold on for too long. Even if they are rescued in the end, they will be seriously injured."
"If all these results are added, the National Salvation Army that attacked us just now lost at least 1,500 people!"
"Sir, we won this battle, and we won a great victory."
"Weizhi beg the chief to give me a squadron. If we fight out now, we will definitely be able to beat the dogs in the water, continue to severely damage the national rescue army, and expand the results of the battle!"
"No!" Nakazo refused without hesitation.
"The order given to us by the military headquarters is very clear. In order to prevent the national rescue army from avenging revenge, reduce the losses of the troops, and defend Jinzhong, we can only fight back in the city and cannot leave the city!"
"Although the National Salvation Army that attacked our country outside the city lost more than 1,000 people, their troops still have more than 1,000 troops. What if they set up a pocket array outside the city and launch a counterattack after we break out of the county town!"
"Notify the troops to count the results as soon as possible. I will report the victory to the military headquarters! Then keep a close eye on the outside of the city to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking. After dawn, we will go out of the city to clean the battlefield!"
After two days and one night of marching, Zhou Cheng finally returned to the Yangquan Command of the National Salvation Army at 9 o'clock the evening when the Japanese army used poison gas bombs.
Before I could take a breath, I saw Xue Ya rushing over in a panic, her face looking very ugly.
"The leader, deputy leader, something happened on the front line!"
"Captain Huang, Captain of Shouyang Guard, sent an urgent call: The Japanese used a large number of poison gas bombs outside Jinzhong City."
"Although Captain Huang ordered the troops to evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible, because our troops were not equipped with gas masks, the soldiers also encountered poison gas for the first time, and many people died because of insufficient protection!"
"The losses have been counted... The participating troops died on the spot, and even the bodies were not recovered. 215 people were poisoned and coma, and rescue was underway. It is estimated that many people in it cannot be rescued!"
"What did you say? The Japanese used poison gas bombs on us?" Zhou Cheng stood up from the chair and walked to Xue Ya and grabbed the telegram.
Halfway through reading, his eyes were so angry that they were red, as if they could spit out fire. After reading, he slapped the telegram on the table and scolded loudly: "A bunch of beasts... no, the Japanese are not even as good as beasts!"
Tang Yufeng's reaction was even more intense than Zhou Cheng. After reading the telegram, he slapped the table while cursing, and then stared at Zhou Cheng with anger on his face.
"Captain, we must take revenge and let the Japanese pay the price for their stupid behavior. Kill those Japanese pigs that have used poison gas bombs on us, otherwise those soldiers who died because of poison gas bombs will definitely not be in peace!"
Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth and nodded: "The revenge must be avenged, but our top priority now is to notify all the national rescue troops who are in contact with the Japanese and puppet troops to evacuate and fight."
"From my understanding of the Japanese, after they tasted the sweetness of using poison gas bombs in Jinzhong County, they would definitely let other troops use poison gas bombs to deal with us!"
"Platform Commander Xue, you should go back to the communication platoon immediately, turn on all radio stations, and call on all the national rescue troops you can contact. The Japanese army will use poison gas bombs on a large scale on the battlefield. From now on, troops above the battalion are prohibited from fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops."
