    After confirming that they had carried out a defensive strategy, the Japanese troops of the 16th Division opened several ponds in the defense area, and a lot of water from the river was intercepted into these ponds.

    There is no problem for them to do this, because if Xia Yang occupied the upper reaches and directly changed the river course or blocked it, they would have no water to drink.  You can't dig a well in frozen soil, right?  That takes a lot of effort.

    So by using these reservoirs, they can ensure their own drinking water.  But what I didn't expect in Nakajima today was that Xia Yang would actually choose to use these water flows to mix mustard gas into their ponds.

    After arriving here, they were not in a hurry to dissolve mustard gas into the river water.  They still had to wait until the Japanese army was about to start eating breakfast and fetching water before putting the mustard gas in.

    They roughly calculated the flow rate of the river, the distance to the Japanese defense zone, and the time it took the Japanese troops to eat and fetch water.  With this information, they were able to ensure that the poison of mustard gas was greatest in those ponds.

    "Has the ice cave been dug?" Hu San asked.

    He was wearing protective clothing at this time. Although the mustard gas was poured into the water, some of it would inevitably leak out. They did not want to be contaminated with these things.

    In the distance, darkness still enveloped the sky.  But dawn is not far away.

    A soldier turned around and said: "We are cutting, the ice is a bit thick." As he said that, he stamped his feet, making muffled sounds on the ice.

    More than a dozen soldiers were still chipping away at the ice.

    After a while, a soldier said: "Okay, it's broken through."

    Hu San walked over and saw the ice hole, which was about the same size as a human head, and said, "Pour the mustard gas in quickly. It's so cold now. I'm afraid it's going to freeze again soon."

    After hearing this, the soldiers hurried over and picked up the gas canisters.  Each of them was wearing some bloated protective clothing, and they looked like penguins walking on the ice.

    Soon, these gas canisters were carried over and placed on the ice.

    Hu San walked over, picked up one of them, then came to the ice cave, opened the valve, and pointed the gas canister directly at the ice cave.

    The mustard gas inside immediately dissolved with the river water in the direction of the valve opening, and then flowed forward in the direction of the river.

    At this time, other ice caves were also dug out one after another.  The other soldiers in the guard camp also picked up the gas canisters and dissolved the mustard gas inside into the river water flowing under the ice.

    This process lasted for an hour before they used up all the remaining gas canisters.

    At this time, the river water under the ice surface was filled with mustard gas dissolved into the water.

    This poisonous water will follow the direction of the river and enter the Japanese camp.

    And half an hour later, it was time for the Japanese soldiers to cook and fetch water.  This poisonous water will be poured into their own kettles by the Japanese soldiers and then enter their bodies.

    After entering their bodies, because it is dissolved in water, the toxicity will not appear quickly.  But after a period of time, when mustard gas begins to damage human organs, they will be miserable.

    Although the toxicity is not very strong and is not enough to kill them, there is still no problem in making them lose their combat effectiveness.

    After dumping the last gas canister into the water flow under the ice, Hu San saw the sun in the distance and slowly climbed over the mountains in late autumn.

    In the Japanese camp, the Japanese soldiers began to wake up from their dreams.  There has been no fighting in the past few days, and they have gotten a rare rest.  At this time, they were full of energy. After their morning run, they began to line up to eat and fetch water.

    In their buckets, there was water just taken from the pond.  The water is very cold. After being left in the open air for a period of time, a thin layer of ice has formed.

    What they didn¡¯t know was that mustard gas had been dissolved in the water.  The mustard gas will also cause them unbearable abdominal pain as they drink the water.

    Xia Yang¡¯s Fourth Division and the Eighth Route Army¡¯s 386th Brigade, the troops responsible for attacking the three hillsides, were ready for battle and entered the predetermined combat position.

    In the distance, the artillery had determined the coordinates and was just waiting for Xia Yang's order to begin bombarding the Japanese positions.

    The tasks of the Artillery Regiment?, not only to attack the firepower of the Japanese army, but also to use artillery shells to detonate the mines set by the Japanese army in front of the position, and at the same time destroy the dense barbed wire fences.  Convenient for troops to attack Japanese positions.

    On the hillside opposite several Japanese positions, the sniper squadrons were also ready for battle.

    Song Yumo was wearing camouflage clothes, and he seemed to be completely integrated with the fallen leaves and troubled times around him.  She aimed her gun at the Japanese position, where there were several Japanese heavy machine gun fire points and bunkers.

    In those bunkers, their guns had no way of hitting their targets directly, so they had to leave it to the charging infantry.  The firepower points of the Japanese army that are not in the bunker are the targets they focus on.

    Xia Yang and General Chen were both in the headquarters on the hillside in the distance, observing the situation there with high-powered telescopes.

    At this time, there are less than five minutes left before the attack begins.

    "All combat units are ready." Xiao Yuebing said.

    At this time, he was wrapped in a thick layer of cotton clothes. The sudden drop in temperature in Mount Wutai made him feel a little cold.

    Xia Yang said: "Okay, order the artillery regiment to concentrate all firepower on the three highlands of the Japanese army and flatten the Japs' positions."

    "Yes, Master." Xiao Yuebing responded loudly.

    General Chen lowered his head and looked at his watch. The minute and second hands were moving little by little.  The fierce battle is about to begin.

    ¡°Boom!!!¡±

    With the landing of the first artillery shell, the battle officially started.

    The artillery of Xia Yang's two artillery regiments poured shells on the three Japanese positions.  Moreover, the frequency of its firing is very high. Almost every artillery fires several rounds of artillery shells at the Japanese positions per minute.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
