Chapter 310 Do you think I would be the kind of person who would swallow my anger?

"Is Zheng Bei so brave that he dares to surround the Japanese army?"

"But I didn't expect this guy to give me quite a surprise. He actually wiped out an entire squadron of Japanese troops."

This kind of record may not be a big deal for the Sichuan Army, but for the 59th Division, it is already a big surprise.

If this were reported, it would definitely arouse suspicion from those useless people in the Central Army.

Of course, after verification, there will definitely be rewards.

"This American equipment is really useful." Wang Tianfang couldn't help but praise it.

"No wonder the Central Army is trying to get American weapons and equipment."

"It's just that we consume too much ammunition. In just a short while, the ammunition we have consumed is enough for us to fight a small battle." The subordinate's words aroused the agreement of everyone in the regiment.

Hearing this, even Wang Tianfang had to admit that the ammunition consumption was indeed a bit too much.

"Forget it. We don't have to worry about the ammunition. Our superiors will take care of it." Fortunately, there was enough ammunition, so he didn't need to worry about these issues.

At this time, a series of violent explosions were heard outside the regiment headquarters.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Explosions sounded at the place where Sasaki's squadron had fought before.

Judging from the intensity of the bombardment, they were all 81mm mortars.

If it weren't for the lack of time, there might still be the Type 92 infantry gun.

"It seems that the loss of a squadron just now really hurt the Japanese."

"Is our 120mm heavy mortar ready?" Wang Tianfang asked.

"We are setting up more positions. It will take some time if we want to counterattack." The combat staff said quickly.

"Well, counterattack as soon as possible. These Japanese devils must be crazy. Also, report the situation here to the division commander and ask when reinforcements will arrive. We should try to wipe out this battalion of Japanese devils in one go." Wang Tianfang thought about it and then gave the order.

"Yes."

At the front line, behind a dilapidated wall, Zheng Bei spat, shook his head and said.

"Is this little Japanese crazy? He has been bombing for half an hour? He is still bombing?"

"How many shells did they carry? How dare they waste them like this?"

Normally, the amount of ammunition carried during a long journey is limited, but it is obvious that the ammunition carried by the Japanese army was far more than imagined.

"Sir, we wiped out an entire squadron of Japanese invaders. How could the Japanese invaders suffer such a heavy loss before? This is totally normal." Chen Bi next to him seemed very normal.

If there was no revenge, he would have suspected that the Japanese were vegetarians.

"That makes sense. How many people were lost in the charge just now?" Only then did Zheng Bei have time to inquire about the casualties.

"More than 30 people were sacrificed and more than 40 were injured, which is almost a casualty rate of one third." When talking about the casualties, Chen Bi felt much depressed.

"That's pretty good. Could you have imagined that in the past? That one company of ours could wipe out an entire Japanese squadron?" Zheng Bei patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"There are still too many new recruits. If there were fewer new recruits and more veterans, the casualty rate this time would probably be much lower."

"Fortunately, this battle boosted our morale. At least these people will not be afraid when they encounter the Japanese again in the future."

Hearing this, Chen Bi's discomfort was relieved a lot.

He also knew that what Zheng Bei said made sense.

"Yes, I understand."

Seeing Chen Bi recover, Zheng Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the falling shells, shook his head and said.

"It's not a good idea to keep bombing like this. Sooner or later, all the buildings will be bombed out. By then, we won't have any advantage over the Japanese."

"Signalman, go ask the battalion commander when we can provide artillery support. It would be best if we could directly knock out the enemy's artillery positions."

"If we keep bombing like this, our bunkers will be gone. It won't be easy to stop the Japanese attack."

"Yes!"

In fact, the artillery in the rear was quickly installing 120 heavy mortars.

At the same time, the artillery staff was calculating the positions of the Japanese artillery positions.

"Fuck you, I can't figure it out just by calculation without an artillery observation post." An artillery officer pulled his hair and cursed.

This light calculates the coordinates based on the point of impact.

It really tests the technique.

It's good enough that they can fire the cannon.

"Let the frontline think of a solution and get the coordinates, otherwise this battle cannot be fought." The artillery staff calculated for a while and felt that it was too difficult.

Normally, there are artillery observation posts.

But now they are hiding in the city, and if they want to bombard it with heavy artillery, they must have accurate coordinates.

"How about taking the frontline position as the standard and extending it outward by 500 meters or 1,000 meters? Let's see if we can get lucky?" an artillery officer suggested in a low voice.

"This..." The artillery staff officer hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, it should be possible.

But this consumes too much ammunition.

What's more, this was the first time he encountered such a luxurious style of play.

"Forget it, let's try it first." The artillery staff officer was also a decisive person. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately spoke.

"Use the frontline position as the coordinates, extend forward one thousand meters, and fire three rapid rounds."

"Yes."

Then, a muffled sound like thunder was heard in the sky, followed by a low whistle.

"Bang...Boom..."

A bungalow outside the city was directly blown down, and the flying debris fell heavily on the ground.

"Heavy artillery? It finally appeared." Major Jiro Higashino looked at the heavy artillery shells falling to the ground and couldn't help but sneer.

The reason why he did not use special bullets immediately was because he was waiting for the heavy artillery in the city.

Since the other side has American equipment, they must have 120mm heavy mortars.

The result has not appeared yet, which means the other party is waiting for something.

As for what to wait for?
Of course it was their artillery.

What Major Jiro Higashino was worried about was that the special bullets would be fired, and then the position would be captured with the help of the special bullets. The other side would become furious and might directly use heavy artillery to bomb the Imperial Army entering the city.

Therefore, he simply ordered the artillery to bombard the defenders and buildings in the city, with the aim of forcing the artillery positions in the city to appear.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

The defenders in the city lost their patience and took the lead in using 120mm heavy mortars.

When I thought that the former ragtag army now had heavy artillery, and it was just a regiment, I couldn't help but feel envious.

Just then, the roar of an airplane was heard in the distance.

Major Jiro Higashino raised his head subconsciously and saw the arrival of his own fighter planes, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Switch to special bullets, target the Chinese troops in the city."

"Hay."

The Japanese fighter planes that arrived in the sky saw the artillery positions of the defenders in the city, and began to fly towards the artillery positions.

The Japanese army took the opportunity to gather troops and prepare to seize Wuzhou City.

Not long after, another burst of sharp artillery fire was heard in the sky.

Zheng Bei, the frontline position, did not react much. After all, the Japanese army had been bombing for almost half an hour.

"Attention, the Japs are firing again, stay hidden!"

However, the bombing this time was not fierce. Although there were shells exploding continuously, it was not as expected. Instead, thick green smoke emerged. After only a few minutes, it began to extend forward along with the wind.

Zheng Bei's face changed drastically when he saw it. He still remembered this thing very clearly.

Not long ago, half of his company fell on the spot because of the Japanese army's use of poison gas bombs.

Seeing this, the remaining people had no choice but to retreat.

"I'm going to swear at you, you son of a bitch, for using poison gas bombs. Hurry up and put on your gas masks."

Fortunately, they were equipped with a lot of gas masks this time, otherwise they would be really finished.

Before, Zheng Bei thought this thing was completely useless.

I didn't expect to use it now.

Really lucky.

The soldiers who received the order followed suit, took out their masks, and put them on in a hurry.

For this ragtag army, gas masks were basically non-existent.

Only the Central Army is equipped with gas masks.

The American weapons and equipment that Cun Yunsheng gave to Zhang Fakui naturally included a gas mask.

To be honest, Zhang Fakui thought this thing was a waste at the time.

It's completely useless.

But it was sent out later.

Who knew it would be used this time.

"These bastards actually dared to use poison gas bombs. There are still many civilians in this city." Wang Tian in the rear used a telescope to see thick green smoke rising from the position where Zheng Bei was. He recognized it at a glance as a poison gas bomb.

He originally thought that the Japanese army would be more cautious and restrained, but it turned out that this was not the case at all.

Perhaps it is time for these Japanese troops to restrain themselves?

It doesn't exist at all.

"Send a telegram to the divisional headquarters immediately and tell them that the Japs have used poison gas bombs."

"Also, have everyone wear gas masks." Wang Tianfang ordered immediately.

"Yes."

In the distance, Major Jiro Higashino looked at the green gas spreading in the sky above the city with a hideous smile on his face.

"You bunch of damn Chinese soldiers, let me show you how you're going to die this time? Pass on my order, launch an attack immediately and completely wipe out these bunch of damn Chinese soldiers." Major Jiro Higashino said directly.

"Hay."

Following an order, an entire squadron of Japanese soldiers slowly walked towards the position with rifles in hand.

.........

"What? The Japanese army used poison gas bombs?" After receiving the call from the 59th Division, Zhang Fakui was stunned. He did not expect that the Japanese army would use poison gas bombs regardless of the consequences.

"Yes, Wuzhou City is in danger now. In addition to poison gas bombs, there are also fighter planes. Wang Tianfang's heavy artillery suffered heavy losses. The Japanese army has already entered the city, and he is leading his troops in a bloody battle." Zhang Deneng said in a serious tone on the other end of the phone.

"How long can you hold on?" Zhang Fakui quickly regained his composure and asked again.

"Three to five days should be fine," Zhang Deneng explained.

Hearing this, Zhang Fakui pondered for a moment and continued.

"Rush to Yangcheng within three days. By then, the crisis in Wuzhou will be resolved. Have all your troops arrived?"

Hearing this, Zhang Deneng was stunned and asked uncertainly.

"What do you mean? Let me raid Yangcheng? But I don't have air support. Facing the Japanese air raid, it will greatly slow down my marching speed."

Besieging Wei to save Zhao is a good idea, but the key is that we have no air superiority. Once we are discovered by the Japanese army, the surprise attack will probably become a frontal assault.

It was obvious that Zhang Fakui was prepared.

"Don't worry about the Japanese fighter planes. I will take care of them for you. What you need to do is to raid Yangcheng as quickly as possible. Now the Japanese army's attention is drawn to Wuzhou City. This is an excellent opportunity."

"In addition, the 90th Division and the 102nd Division are currently re-equipping. Once they are finished, they will be able to support you immediately."

"You don't have to worry about reinforcements. All you have to do is take over Yangcheng."

"I will not let anyone who dares to hold me back easily." Zhang Fakui was very determined.

Now the Japanese army's attention is focused on Wuzhou, and they would never think that he would send troops to raid Yangcheng.

Once the 59th Division arrives at the city.

By then, the Japanese troops in the city would be in a panic and would definitely not be able to hold the city.

As long as we take Yangcheng and follow-up troops follow up, we can completely eliminate the Japanese troops near Yangcheng.

"Yes, sir, I will ensure that the mission is completed." Since Zhang Fakui said so, Zhang Deneng naturally would not disobey.

"Okay, after we take over Yangcheng, I will personally celebrate for you in Yangcheng." After Zhang Fakui hung up the phone, he quickly wrote a telegram.

"Send this telegram immediately to Cun Yunsheng in Hanoi."

"Yes."

…………

In Hanoi, Cun Yunsheng has been planning the landing of troops during this period.

Thanks to Zhang Fakui's help and Cun Yunsheng's silver bullet offensive.

More and more soldiers came to join the army, and the recruitment work was also going extremely smoothly.

Not only that, but the number of immigrants has also increased significantly.

Everything is thriving and moving in a good direction.

"Captain Ayi is doing a good job." Cun Yunsheng looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help but praise him.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Commander Ayi would be able to do this job so smoothly. It was indeed beyond my expectations." Meng Fanle also said.

At this time, the communications staff came in with a telegram and said seriously.

"Sir, telegram from the Fourth War Zone."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was stunned. He took the telegram, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked in confusion.

"Isn't the Fourth War Zone busy attacking Yangcheng? Didn't they say they had taken Wuzhou some time ago? Could something have happened?"

As he said this, Cun Yunsheng opened the telegram, and after reading the contents, he couldn't help but fly into a rage.

"These damned Japanese devils actually dared to use poison gas bombs."

"What? They actually used poison gas bombs?" Meng Fanle was also shocked.

"Yes, these beasts, after suffering a great loss, actually used poison gas bombs." Cun Yunsheng was also furious.

"Sir, why didn't the Japanese dare to use poison gas bombs in Burma?" Meng Fanle asked puzzledly at this time.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sneered.

"The Japanese are also bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. If they dare to drop poison gas bombs on Britain and the United States, do you believe that the poison gas bombs dropped by the Allies can be more than ten times theirs? Can the Japanese with so few people withstand it?"

"These beasts only bully us, right?" Meng Fanle was also very angry.

"Sir, are we just going to endure this?"

"Do you think I would be the kind of person who would swallow my anger?"

"Zhang Fakui's telegram hopes that we can send an air force to help them suppress Japanese fighter planes so that they can raid Guangzhou." After reading the telegram, Cun Yunsheng took a deep breath and said.
