Chapter 477
Japanese Mandalay Command, underground fortifications...
"What the hell is going on? Why did the front line suddenly lose contact?"
Yamashita Fengmo roared in anger, and his saliva sprayed on the communications soldier's face, looking furious as if he wanted to eat people.
Just two hours ago, Frontier reported that the Chinese began to withdraw troops in full swing. Before they could figure out what was going on, a new round of artillery bombardment came over.
I thought this was just a prelude to the Chinese attack, but after that round of artillery attack, the other party did not take action. Instead, he quietly and quietly did not move at all, which was really unpredictable.
What's even more strange is that when Yamashita Tomoto wanted to contact the frontier positions again to ask them to report the situation, he found that the communication was interrupted. Whether it was radio or telephone, the messages sent by him were like stones sinking to the sea without any response.
All the staff and officers were confused. They had sent two liaison teams to investigate the situation, but as of now, there was still no useful news to be sent back.
Fengwen from the mountain was like an ant on a hot pan, and it was logical that after the communication was interrupted, the front line should take the initiative to contact the headquarters. But now the other party has no news. He thought about it with his toes and knew that there would definitely be nowhere else.
What a big deal.
"Let Kazusaki Kazusa lead the search team to the Irrawaddy front line, be sure to figure out what happened!"
"Hi."
As soon as the staff officer walked to the door, he collided with the oncoming messenger. The latter quickly bent down to apologize, and ran into the command center in a hurry before the other party could speak.
"Report! Your Excellency Commander...the contact team is back, and only a few people survived...there are no more...all are no more!"
Bang!
"Baga! What does it look like when you are panicked? Calm down!"
Niu Tou was so angry that Yamashita Fengwen slapped in the face, pinched the messenger's collar and asked loudly: "Tell me clearly! What's gone? What's going on!"
“Hi-Hi.
The messenger who was slapped in the face became a little more awake, and quickly organized language in his mind. A hint of fear appeared on his face: "Hua... Chinese people used poison gas bombs, and all the troops on the defense line were hit.
We have never seen such chemical bombs, Yamaguchi, Kyota, Okazaki, and Okazaki.
This wave of tower-collapse gas bomb attacks almost covered the entire Irrawaddy River defense line, and several positions were shrouded in poison gas, so the Japanese inside could be imagined.
They almost didn't have time to react. As long as they touched a little, their whole body would lose control, fell to the ground and twitched continuously, waiting for the arrival of death in pain.
The Japanese troops on the defense line were too dense, and large areas of Japanese soldiers fell on the way to escape. Even if they hid in the tunnel, they would not be spared. The poison gas would be poured into the fortifications with the ventilation and circulation system, causing more serious damage.
Only by hiding in those small low-lying tunnels may they survive. However, they cannot come out until the poisonous fog is gone, and there is no air circulation. People stay inside and die even more miserably like canned food.
In the past two or three hours, the defense line of tens of thousands of people collapsed in an instant, and thousands of soldiers died in destruction, and less than one out of ten people escaped.
Even though they were far away, the soldiers who had fled the battlefield had more or less poisoning symptoms such as respiratory failure, muscle spasms, coma, and some even died due to allergic shock. They could be said to have escaped and died all the way and finally ran away.
There were only a few hundred soldiers returning to Mandalay City
Listening to the other party's report little by little, Fengwen Yamashita felt dizzy, and his eyes turned dark in an instant, and his body involuntarily fell backwards.
"Commander!"
"Call the military doctor quickly! Hurry up!"
Everyone was really scared by Fengwen from the foot of the mountain. Coupled with the horrifying news on the front line, the command center was in a mess.
At the same time, a special force was approaching quickly, holding an M3 submachine gun and wearing very tight protective equipment all over their bodies, which could be said to be wrapped tightly and airtightly.
The troops quickly entered the position. The soldiers did not talk too much, but were led by their respective commanders and moved carefully towards the position.
The soldiers crossed the layers of defense and entered a no-man's land, and were almost unblocked, because there were basically no living people on the entire defense except them.
As time goes by, the poisonous fog gradually evaporated and dissipated, but the wreckage of countless dead Japanese troops remained in place. From the terrified expression of the Japanese corpse, they could see that their experience was the moment they were attacked by the poisonous gas bomb.
How terrifying it is
Several soldiers fiddled with a device similar to a horizontal device, and used a dropper to test something on the test strip.
The leader Yu Sifan held the steel gun tightly and looked around vigilantly through the eye mask on the gas mask.
Their mission is to first enter the poison gas bomb killing area, reconnaissance the battlefield situation and monitor the air in the killing area, and check whether there are any enemies along the way. At the same time, they also need to sample and analyze the corpses on the ground and record the killing data of the tower collapse.
In the case.
The ground was full of corpses with eyes exploding from the sky. The empty position was as gloomy as the realm of hell, filled with the breath of death. Even though I was the initiator of all this, I was also frightened by the scene I saw in front of me.
"Fortunately this thing is not from Japanese...it must be kept confidential!"
Yu Sifan sighed in his heart that such a terrifying lethality completely exceeds the ordinary people's perception of poison gas bombs.
Take the Japanese mustard gas for example. There is plenty of time to escape before inhaling the lethal dose. Although the poisoned person will suffer very much pain and lose his combat effectiveness or even die, at least after treatment and rest, there is still a high probability of survival.
But the tower collapse is different. As long as it is exposed to the range of poison gas, it can make you lose your life in just a few minutes, and there is no time to rescue or escape.
This thing is like the fangs of a demon, extremely cruel and terrifying, and you must never disclose any information to the outside world, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Battery Commander, the test report has come out. The cyanophosphonic acid in the air is already lower than the hazard value, but the phosphorus chloride content is still a bit high."
The soldier's report interrupted Yu Sifan's contemplation. He thought about it and then ordered:
"I know, the first company continues to monitor, and the second company and the third company counts the number of Japanese soldiers killed on the positions. In addition, the military headquarters is notified that the front line troops can start advancing, but try to bypass the killing area, and each soldier must wear a gas mask, no
Those with masks must not enter the battlefield.”
"I understand...I'll send a report now."
The soldiers also knew that this thing was not a joke. Although the poison in the air had almost dissipated, it was hard to say that the toxins attached to the corpses. People who have seen the power of this thing dared not take it lightly.
Soon, the Third Honor Division launched a new attack on the enemy. The three main regiments took a detour from a distance, deliberately avoiding the killing area of poison gas bombs. The soldiers quickly marched towards the Mandalay city in platoons.
At this time, the Japanese army was in chaos. After they figured out the situation of the Irrawaddy defense line, they were even more frightened and looked overwhelmed.
At this time, there was another problem with the command system. After Yamashita Fengmo fainted, the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Defense should have issued an order. Unfortunately, the latter went to the front line to supervise the war earlier, and now
I guess I've been burping by the poisonous gas bomb.
The staff and assistants in the command center had different opinions, and several division commanders were also quarreling. Some people suggested shrinking the defense line to defend the city and never throwing Mandalay away. Some people felt that it would be better to continue to fight. If the enemy had another poisonous air
If you attack, everyone will die. It is better to retreat first and then find a way.
But time waits for no one, and the three main groups of attacking will not leave any chances. The US planes returned to the battlefield and the bombing began again.
The soldiers were in full spirit and rushed to Mandalay city like a tide. The Japanese army lost the defense line on the river bank was in a very dangerous situation. In addition, the troops could not get unified orders and they could only fight on their own. The panic was conceivable.
Know.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the first main regiment occupied the east gate of the city, and the second main regiment controlled the Jiangkou Zhongba, destroyed the Japanese artillery position here, and instead placed its own artillery here. The muzzle was facing the Mandalay city.
.
At five o'clock, the position on the southwest side of the city was broken by the Third Regiment. Milong led his troops to the south gate, forming a clamp-shaped offensive with Yaoma, and pressing against the Japanese army in the city step by step.
