Chapter 240: Be Prepared
At the same time, at Xinjiekou.
Zhong Yi suddenly stopped, raised his hand and shouted: "Stop moving forward!"
Chi Peng and more than 20 veterans from the Guard Company who followed behind him stopped, and more than 20 machine guns that were still spitting out firepower just now stopped shooting.
In an instant, the entire battlefield fell into silence!
Watching the last Japanese escape along Hanzhong Road, Zhong Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking back, I saw that there were less than 200 veterans who followed the counterattack, and less than 30 guards left in the lead!
War is so cruel!
Bullets will not fly around just because the national army is engaged in a just war to defend the country!
After a breath, Zhong Yi called Chi Peng, Yuan Qiang and Chen Luyuan to the front. In the counterattack just now, the commander of the Independent 7th Battalion, Chen Yaoting, unfortunately died in the battle. Yuan Qiang has now been replaced as battalion commander.
Chi Peng asked: "Group, is it time to build fortifications next?"
"Build a fortification?" Yuan Qiang said tragically, "These are all piles of rubble, just build a fortification!"
"Why can't we build fortifications?" Chi Peng said, "It's always okay to dig a few pits in the rubble pile?"
Logistics Director Chen Luyuan sighed lightly and shook his head and said, "Company Commander Chi, I can understand your mood, but it is useless to dig a few pits in the rubble pile, because it cannot stop the Japanese artillery shells at all. What's more, the Japanese are so angry this time that they may use poison gas bombs, and digging the pits will be even more useless!"
Chen Luyuan spoke without intention, but Zhong Yi suddenly moved his heart after hearing this.
The Japanese artillery bombardment was very strong just now, and lasted for an hour. However, the 10th Japanese Army was already rushing forward with light and should not have carried too many shells. This means that in the artillery just now, the Japanese artillery soldiers probably had all the grenades, but the poisonous gas bombs were never used!
Therefore, in the next shelling, the Japanese were very likely to use poison gas bombs in a crazy way!
At that moment, Zhong Yi turned his head and said to Chen Luyuan: "Director Chen, you should immediately bring a company back to the logistics department, get two hundred gas masks, and give two hundred to Lao Zhu and the others!"
"Gas mask?" Chen Luyuan said in surprise, "Room, I just said casually."
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of anything!" Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's always right to be prepared for any trouble!"
"Yes!" Chen Luyuan stopped saying anything, and immediately stepped forward and hurried away with a company.
...
Almost at the same time, Sakai Tokutaro once again came to the live broadcast position.
"God of General!" Seeing Tokutaro Sakai coming in, Miko Hibino quickly stood up and bowed to greet him.
"Miss Hibino doesn't have to be polite." Sakai Tokutaro waved his hand and asked again, "How is it? The live broadcast is still smooth? Kumamoto United didn't neglect you, right?"
"Hai!" Miko Hibino quickly paused and said, "The soldiers of Kumamoto United cooperated very well. We cooperated very happily, but my ability was limited and I was unable to produce a high-level program, which disappointed the General and the domestic audience."
"No, Miss Hibino, your show is very good. At least the soldiers of the 10th Army like to listen to it very much!"
"Is that so good?" Miko Hibino said, "Thank you, General, for your encouragement, I will definitely work harder."
Sakai Tokutaro waved his hand and said, "That's right, Miss Hibino, I have to say hello to you first. Because the war is not going well, the senior management of the front army and the base camp are very dissatisfied with the performance of our 6th Division. So in order to end the battle as soon as possible, our division headquarters decided to carry out a chemical attack on the Xinjiekou battlefield!"
Miko Hibino was surprised when she heard this: "Chemical attack?"
"Yes, chemical attack." Sakai Tokutaro nodded and continued, "But Nanjing is the international view after all. Although the empire is not afraid of Western criticism, this is an act explicitly prohibited by international conventions. Therefore, Miss Hibino, you need to cooperate through the radio program!"
"Hayi!" Miko Hibino paused and said, "God General, what should I do?"
"What you have to do is very simple." Sakai Tokutaro said in a deep voice, "It is through the NHK program that tells the whole of Japan and even the whole world that the Imperial Army decided to fire tear gas on the Xinjiekou battlefield!"
Although tear gas is also a chemical weapon and a weapon expressly prohibited in international conventions, tear gas is much less harmful to the human body than erosive mustard gas, Louis gas, or suffocating phosgene, and has widespread use in the international community. Even Western police are using it in large quantities!
"Hai, I understand!" Miko Hibino paused and said, "When will the broadcast start?"
Sakai Tokutaro looked up at the sky that was gradually darkening and said in a deep voice: "The faster the better!"
"Hai!" Miko Hibino paused again and said, "Then, I'll start now!"
Sakai Tokutaro said with a stern hand: "Dusuo!"
...
In Wuhan, Luojia Mountain, Tingsonglu.
Chairman Jiang had already left his seat and was walking in the study with his hands on his back.
Qian Dajun asked the guards to bring three radios in a row and locked the channel at the Central News Agency, but he still didn't hear any programs. At this point, Qian Dajun knew that this was definitely not a signal problem, but a problem occurred in the Central News Agency, that is, Nanjing. Either Xiao Bing died or the radio was damaged!
Qian Dajun said to Chairman Jiang: "The commissioner must be a problem in Nanjing."
"I understand." Chairman Jiang sighed softly, sat back on the chair dejectedly, and said, "Then, let's listen to the NHK of Little Japan."
"Okay." Qian Dajun agreed and immediately adjusted the frequency band of a radio to NHK radio.
The next moment, the voice of an equally nice woman came from the radio, and Qian Dajun found a Japanese-proficient translator from the attendant's room, responsible for translating it into Mandarin.
While listening to the program, the translator said: "Listen, good afternoon, it's time for the Voice of the Battlefield again. I am your good friend Miko Hirihino. Now Nanjing is doing a battlefield live broadcast to you!"
"First of all, I will tell you a bad news. The war this afternoon was not going well. The imperial army attacked fiercely for an afternoon, but paid a heavy price, but still failed to take down Xinjiekou!"
This time, it was a little beyond Chairman Jiang's expectations, and he shouted excitedly: "Beautiful!"
Chapter completed!
