But it was too late, because the mustard gas had already spread to the bottom of the ravine with the mountain wind. This mustard gas has attached to the Japanese soldiers' bodies through their breath and contact with their skin, and even entered their bodies.
In addition, the gas masks used by the Japanese army were just simple breathing masks. Although it can resist general poison gas, its effect on mustard gas is very limited.
Tatsuki Kusaba, who was discussing the breakout plan with other squadron leaders at the front, suddenly heard shouts in the distance. But although there were shouts, there was no gunfire, which puzzled him. Could it be that the soldiers had mutinied?
Just when he was confused, a soldier came over panting and said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the enemy the enemy is releasing mustard gas. Now the entire ravine is full of mustard gas."
Hearing this, Tatsuki Kusaba was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's nonsense, where did the enemy get the gas bombs from?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the mustard gas released at the exit of the ravine had already drifted here, and he soon smelled the smell of mustard.
"Damn, it's really mustard gas. Quick, gas mask. It needs the gas mask used by the biochemical troops. Ordinary gas masks can't withstand it at all." Tatsuki Kusaba said loudly.
He clearly understands the dangers of mustard gas. This thing can not only cause harm to people through breathing, but it can also make you miserable if it contaminates the skin. Especially on the eyes, after too much contamination, it is normal for the eyes to go blind.
In this darkness, the invisible killer is slowly strangling their throats.
"Order the troops to prepare to break out immediately. Don't delay any longer, otherwise they will all die." Tatsumi Kusaba, who put on a special gas mask, immediately ordered.
At this time, the interior of the ravine was in chaos, with countless Japanese soldiers running around in the darkness. Many of them have begun to be injured by the mustard gas they breathed into their bodies and contaminated their eyes. Huge pain surrounds their bodies all the time.
"However, some of the soldiers who were relatively lightly poisoned still listened to their commander's orders and began to slowly complete the assembly.
"Start charging immediately, without delaying for a moment." Tatsuki Kusaba said, feeling a burning sensation on his eyes.
He knew that mustard gas in the air had contaminated his eyes before he wore a gas mask. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to cause him great pain.
After hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers immediately raised rounds of illumination bombs into the air, and then, under the cover of heavy machine guns in the rear, began to charge towards the front and side high ground positions.
On these two positions, the troops of the Fourth Division and the Eighth Route Army had been waiting for a long time.
At the Eighth Route Army position at the exit, all soldiers had put on protective clothing and gas masks. As the flares took off, they saw the Japanese troops rushing towards them.
At this time, the Japanese army no longer had many formations, and everyone was roaring "onboard" to charge towards their position.
This is their desperate charge. If they don't rush out of the ravine, they will have no choice but to die. Those poisonous gases will corrode their bodies bit by bit.
On the Eighth Route Army's position, machine guns and rifles began to roar as the Japanese troops approached the position.
"Da da da!!!"
Bullets fired from heavy machine guns and light machine guns intertwined in the air. The Japanese soldiers, who were in chaotic formation, were knocked down by bullets one after another. In the blink of an eye, many Japanese corpses were piled up in front of their position.
But the Japanese army did not stop charging, because compared to the bullets in front, the poisonous gas in the air at this time frightened them even more.
They know in their hearts that the front is their only hope of survival.
Because it was judged that the Japanese army was likely to break through at the entrance and exit of the ravine, Xia Yang had deployed more than a dozen heavy machine guns to strengthen the firepower of these two positions.
The Japanese charge seemed a bit futile under the dense firepower net. Coupled with the chaotic formation and even some commanders being affected by the poison gas and unable to command the troops, the Japanese army's originally planned breakout became disorganized.
The Japanese army, which originally had no advantage in firepower, became even more unbearable.
By means of flaresIn the bright light, Xia Yang clearly saw the Japanese troops in the ravine, constantly advancing on the bodies of his comrades. In the distance, some Japanese soldiers whose bodies had been eroded by mustard gas were rolling on the ground.
Some of them kept scratching their throats because the mustard gas penetrated into their trachea and even lungs through their breathing. The chemicals inside were constantly causing their organs to rot.
With such a tragic scene, Xia Yang did not feel any sympathy. Because he knew that if they did not use these weapons, the Japanese army would also use these weapons on the heads of the Chinese.
"Order the troops to stand firm and not let anyone leave this ravine." Xia Yang said.
"Yes, Master." Ma Siyuan said.
The battle lasted until the second half of the night, and the Japanese army launched several large-scale charges in the first half of the night. But later on, the mustard gas that penetrated their skin began to take effect, and the Japanese troops inside no longer had the strength to organize a large-scale charge.
Only some Japanese soldiers who were tortured mad by the poisonous gas howled and charged towards the positions of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Division, and then were used as live targets by those soldiers to practice marksmanship.
Morning comes slowly, and the mustard gas gradually dissipates as time goes by. In the ravine, the screams of the Japanese soldiers continued to echo. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
