Chapter 122 The Battle of Tangji (18)

Sorry, the weather is cold, and it’s time to wake up and the update is late. Another thing is going to be late. The soldiers are in a hurry to have a meeting! It’s around ten o’clock!

*******

Just as the Japanese army opened the ammunition box and prepared to fire poisonous gas bombs at the location of the Engineer Regiment, there were only a series of loud noises... The entire mountain top position was blown to the sky.

This time the Japanese army will suffer...

Originally, the top position of the 159 Highland was relatively small and could only accommodate one hundred people. The same was true for the Japanese army. Most of the more than 300 Japanese soldiers were not on the top position, but on another inclined surface. Therefore, if it was just an explosive explosion, it would not actually kill many people.

But now it's not just a matter of explosives.

The Japanese army had just carried a few boxes of poison gas bombs to the top of the mountain. There were at least a dozen poison gas bombs. As soon as the explosives on the top of the mountain exploded, the poison gas bombs were blown up in an instant and flew everywhere in the direction of the Japanese army.

The ones that exploded were near and fell into the Japanese army group that was on standby on the spot. Although these Japanese soldiers were wearing gas masks, the shock waves caused by the explosion of explosives and the ancient stones of sand and soil were knocked down, which made the Japanese army fall and fall. Most of the Japanese army's gas masks were shaken away, dropped or damaged, so the poison gas penetrated into their gas masks in an all-hole manner.

What's even more powerful is those that explode far away... Several poisonous gas bombs were lifted up by the shock wave, and when they fell, they hit the Japanese military camp far away at the foot of the 159 Highland Mountain and "screamed" green smoke. What's even more terrifying is that they didn't know that the poisonous gas bombs were smoking near them in the darkness. In addition, there was a lot of smoke in the air, and the pungent smell of poisonous gas could not be distinguished for a while, so they didn't notice it after a long time.

When they noticed it, they wanted to wear a gas mask, but it was too late... The Japanese soldiers had already fallen to the ground and foamed at their mouths and twitched all over.

At this time, Zhang Chi and others on the other side did not know the situation on the other side. They were worried and afraid that when the Japanese army reacted, they would shoot poisonous gas bombs at them. They waited left and right but couldn't see anything. Seeing that time had passed for a long time, the poisonous gas should dissipate now, so they climbed up to the 159 Highland tremblingly.

When I went up, I was shocked to find that Japanese corpses were everywhere on the high ground, and the corpses were all covered with ferocious faces and black faces, their eyes wide open like dead fish, and their death was very terrifying.

Seeing this, the soldiers couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies, because they thought that if they hadn't prepared to bury explosives on the 159th Highland, then they might have died in front of the position.

The most depressing one among them is Masao Watanabe.

Originally, he thought that the "fatal weapon" of poison gas bombs should be brought to the battlefield, and the 56th Division could easily pull out the hard nail of Tang Ji and continue to penetrate Lashio, but unexpectedly, it was a "boom" sound... Everything was in chaos. Not only were the Chinese people who fell down in the poison gas, but his subordinates.

What made him even more depressed was that the nearby barracks were still relatively closed valleys, and the poisonous gas did not dissipate for a long time. Now they could not even attack the 159 Highland... because that meant that they had to attack with gas masks. It is conceivable that the poisonous gas on the 159 Highland had almost dissipated due to the strong wind and air circulation of the 159 Highland, so it meant that the Japanese army had to attack the enemy highlands in this dark night with gas masks, which was almost suicide.

"Lieutenant General!" The staff member walked into the command center and reported: "The casualties were counted. There were 535 people who died of poisoning, including 873 people who were killed in the attack on the 159 Highlands. In addition, there were 456 people who lost their combat effectiveness due to poisoning. There were countless people who were discomfort!"

"Yeah!" Masao Watanabe's face turned pale. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still a little unacceptable after hearing this number. With just an explosion... the 56th Division lost more than a thousand people. In addition, there were large areas of mildly poisoned people. Although these poisoned people still have combat effectiveness, they will undoubtedly weaken the combat effectiveness of the 56th Division to a considerable extent.

The 56th Division was originally exhausted after a long journey. She thought they could rest for a while and recover some energy, but now she was seriously injured in the opposite energy.

"besides……"

"What else?" Masao Watanabe couldn't stand it, especially because he made this mistake himself.

"Lieutenant General!" The Chief of Staff delivered a telegram with some fear, saying: "Just just received a telegram from Lieutenant General Mutankou of the 18th Division. The 200th Division of the Century** team has broken through the blockade of the 18th Division and is rushing towards Tang Ji. He will arrive in two hours!"

"Bastard!" Masao Watanabe punched the table hard.

This means that the 56th Division has only two hours.

After thinking about it, Masao Watanabe gritted his teeth and ordered: "Pass the order and let the 146th Regiment launch an attack on the enemy's high ground immediately. Be sure to capture Tomochi within two hours!"

"But Lieutenant General..." The staff officer wanted to say something, but he was stared at him and then he held it back.

Seeing the Chief of Staff leave, Masao Watanabe sat back on the chair in distress.

Although he knew that this situation was not suitable for attacking, and the poisonous gas standing in front of the position would undoubtedly cause great trouble to the attacking troops, he had to do so, otherwise, interspersed with Lashio would become an impossible task.

I hope the 146th United won’t let myself down. At this time, Masao Watanabe can only comfort himself like this.

Masao Watanabe looked at the map on the table in a daze. The map also painted the offensive route he had drawn a few days ago. Everything went very smoothly before, and it could even be said to be smoother than he expected. But today, his troops were blocked in Tangji, not only blocked but also suffered heavy casualties.

"How did the Chinese know that explosives were buried on the high ground?" Masao Watanabe asked himself over and over again: "What kind of army is that? Can he defeat the 56th Division again and again?"

At this time, Masao Watanabe didn't know that the only one garrison stationed in Tangchi was an engineering corps, a gang of only more than 1,000 people. It was just a coincidence that it was just a coincidence that it loaded explosives on the top of the mountain to bomb the poisonous gas bombs back to the Japanese army's own military camp.
