Chapter 475

At the headquarters of the 88th Army in Lashio, Liao Mingyu was sitting at his desk writing furiously. He had a thick stack of documents in his hand, which showed that he had been busy for a long time.

The radio station was beeping rhythmically, and several staff officers were still gathered around the sand table, holding documents to discuss and formulate combat plans. The small sand table was like a miniature battlefield, with the landscape and soldiers clearly visible.

Liao Mingyu put down the pen and paper, rubbed his temples, relaxed his stiff arms a little, looked at the results of the past few hours on the table, and finally he could breathe a sigh of relief.

The Battle of Mandalay is entering the final stage, and the next base plan is imperative. Although it is not yet clear what changes the system will bring to it, it is always good to make more preparations for a rainy day.

Moreover, now that the size of the army is getting larger and larger, there are more and more things to manage, and we can no longer do whatever we want like before.

Creak.

The door to the war room was pushed open, and Meng Fanle strode in. Before anyone arrived, a voice came in: "Jun seat, the artillery brigade is ready, please."

Before he finished speaking, a cold look glanced at him. Meng Fangli realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly closed his mouth. "You guys go out first. No one is allowed to come near without my order." Liao Mingyu stood.

He stood up, waved his hand and gave instructions.

"yes...

Although he didn't know why Jun Zuo suddenly drove people away, the soldiers and staff in the war room still obeyed and walked out one after another. After everyone left, Meng Fanlao breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to someone and said sheepishly

Sermon: "What kind of Jun seat...

"What and what? Didn't I tell you that the confidentiality of this matter is very important? I don't want my head anymore?" "Yes, yes. I deserve to be punished for my humble position. I'm stupid for my humble position. Please forgive me.'

Liao Mingyu rolled his eyes at him angrily, sat on the chair again, took out the lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and asked casually: "Have all the troops on the front line been withdrawn?"

"Back at Junzuo, the first and second main regiments of the third division have withdrawn to safe positions. The third main regiment has not completely withdrawn from the battlefield because it has advanced too deep." Meng Fanxiao quickly replied.

"Ask them to hurry up and not leave a single person in the kill zone. The front line will be temporarily handed over to the special agent battalion for management and deployment, and the Americans will be notified that the attack will be suspended and all aircraft will return to the airport to standby.

"I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."

After giving all the instructions, Liao Mingyu took a puff of cigarette, and while puffing out the smoke, his fingers beat rhythmically on the table, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.

The confidentiality of this operation is very important. Not only cannot any information be revealed to the outside world, even the US military must keep it secret, otherwise it is likely to become a target of public criticism. After all, that thing

Tabeng is an extremely terrifying word that represents death. Perhaps many people are very unfamiliar with it, but there is another name that scares everyone around the world and makes them talk about it. That is the famous "Sarin toxin".

It is the first artificially synthesized nerve agent in human history. It is also the most toxic type of biochemical weapon in World War II. It is a hundred times more toxic than ordinary biochemical weapons.

In front of it, mustard gas, chlorine gas, and phosgene all become child's play. The former may take hours or days to kill, while tabeng only takes a few minutes to kill someone without any possibility of rescue.

The nightmare began with a young German chemist, Gerhard Schrader, who originally worked for this ordinary chemical company. At that time, he received orders from his superiors to develop new pesticides to reduce agricultural pests.

This scientist tried to synthesize several fluorine- and sulfur-containing compounds, but the results were mediocre. Then he tried his luck with phosphorus and cyanide, and he got really bad luck and successfully synthesized a highly toxic substance at a price

This was the guy who spent weeks in the hospital.

This highly toxic substance can not only kill pests, but can also cause vomiting and diarrhea in humans, and kill apes and other mammals! The research results of this young German chemist were not recognized by his superiors, but instead attracted the attention of the German military

, this is the beginning of the nightmare.

During World War II, the German military began to develop tabun into a chemical weapon. It took only two years to extract and synthesize "sarin agent" from "tabun" and successfully used it in military weapons.

Later, Germany began to produce sarin poison on a large scale, but they did not use chemical weapons in actual combat. Some people speculate that because Hitler was injured by chemical weapons in World War I, he did not want to use chemical weapons.

Secondly, the United Kingdom also had the ability to produce chemical weapons at that time. Lao Xi was afraid of Allied retaliation and did not approve the use of such weapons by the army. Therefore, sarin poison failed to show its grace on the battlefield of World War II.

The reason why Liao Mingyu had this thing was by accident. In the past two days, Chen Jize traveled long distances and killed people like a god of war. While he earned enough points for someone, he also unlocked several weapon lottery opportunities.

Surprisingly, what was drawn during these lucky draw opportunities was actually the infamous "tapun poison", which really scared the person involved, Liao Mingyu.

Sarin has an extremely terrifying reputation, and its predecessor, Tabun, is also very lethal. Even a small dose can kill someone within minutes if inhaled.

It comes in two forms: liquid and gaseous. A drop of poisonous gas liquid the size of a pinhole can cause the death of an adult very quickly. After poisoning, symptoms include pupil constriction, difficulty breathing, bronchospasm and violent convulsions, etc. In severe cases, death occurs within minutes.

A 105mm poison gas bomb contains about 2 kilograms of liquid poison. Once spread, it can kill and injure people within 2 kilometers. The power and lethality are very terrifying.

On the one hand, although Mandalay has become a turtle in the urn, its defensive strength still exists, and the Japanese resistance is still tenacious. Even if the situation is now like that of the 88th Army, it will not take a day or two to take down the entire Mandalay.

On the other hand, although Chen Jize led troops to directly attack Meiktila, because it was the first blitz operation, there were still some problems with the cooperation and coordination of the various units. Among them, mechanical failure was an important reason for the sharp decrease in the combat effectiveness of the armored brigade.

Therefore, the original plan was for the armored brigades to attack from the south and northwest, and cooperate with the Honorable Third Division on the north bank of the Irrawaddy River to outflank Mandalay, but it seemed unrealistic at this time.

At present, Chen Jize and others can only guard the main roads to the south, causing Yamashita Fengwen's troops to lose their last strategic space, forcing the latter to become angry and make confused mistakes.

As long as the little Japanese loses their mentality and starts retreating southward without a clue, the entire battle will basically be over.

But now it seems that the Japanese army has no signs of retreating. Yamashita Fengfumi seems to be determined to coexist with Mandalay City. This can be seen from the degree of resistance of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese's defeat was doomed, Liao Mingyu also understood that it would take a lot of effort to completely eliminate Mandalay. He learned from the US aerial reconnaissance aircraft that the Japanese's defense was very deep, and if the opponent did not seek a way out, he would die.

If we carry it to the end, this battle will take at least ten days and a half.

There is not much time left now, and even with this effort, the losses in the battle will not be too low by then. He only has 30,000 to 50,000 people in his hands. If the losses are too high, there will be no place to replenish them.

After thinking about it, only poison gas bombs can solve the problem the fastest and most perfectly. It just happened that the weapon extracted "taphun poison". This was God's will.

To be honest...it is actually very inhumane to use this thing on the battlefield. After all, the Germans are so arrogant, but they never used it once until they were defeated.
