At this time, the blocking position of the Independent Battalion was built in the wild. The terrain was spacious, the north wind was constantly blowing, and the air circulated very quickly. Therefore, as long as we were prepared, no matter how many gas bombs the Japanese used, it would not be of any use.

Many poisonous gases could not stay on the position for too long. A gust of cold wind blew over and disappeared.

In addition, the artillerymen in the rear also took precautions because of the reminder from battalion commander Wang Chengzhu.

Because they were prepared, the Japanese fired hundreds of poison gas bombs. Except for the dozens of Second Company soldiers who were unprepared at the beginning and were poisoned, injured and sacrificed, no further casualties were caused to the independent battalion.

At the attack position of the Japanese 4th Brigade, about 1,000 Japanese infantrymen had put on gas masks and were ready to attack again.

Since Masao Nishiyama was prepared to use gas bombs, he naturally also prepared a gas mask.

However, gas masks are also scarce items for the Japanese army, and they are rarely used, so being able to produce more than 1,000 of them is already the limit.

Masao Nishiyama stared ahead with a stern look on his face. Seeing that the Independent Battalion's position was shrouded in poisonous fog, he couldn't help but sneered: "Yo Xi! Let's see what these damn China Tubal Road can do to resist the imperial army's poisonous gas this time!"

Chief of Staff Tada Ichiro echoed from the side: "What your Excellency the brigade commander said is absolutely true. As far as my subordinates know, anti-virus equipment is very scarce in the China Army. Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, even the Central Army has almost no equipment!"

Therefore, this time the poison gas bombs of the imperial army can definitely cause devastating damage to them!"

"The only regret is that I don't know how many troops the independent battalion of the Chinese Army has deployed in the forward position."

"No matter how many troops they deploy, the poison gas bombs carried by the imperial army this time are enough to wipe out tens of thousands of Chinese troops. If there are still remaining Chinese Eighth Route Army, then just continue to use poison gas bombs!" Nishiyama Masao's face bloomed with emotion.

With an unconcealed expression of pride, he immediately pulled out the command knife from his waist, waved it forward and shouted: "Give me the order, attack! Kill the chicken!"

"Hey!" Tada Ichiro waved his hand, and more than a thousand Japanese soldiers quickly got the order, held their rifles, and began to dispatch...

The rear position of the Independence Battalion.

Wang Chengzhu stood at a high point with a wide field of vision, holding a telescope, and saw the Japanese troops dispatching, and a cold smile also broke out on his face.

When the Japanese army used poison gas bombs, Wang Chengzhu had a plan to defeat the enemy, which was to use his tactics to pretend to be killed by the Japanese gas bombs, and then send troops to lurk in the forward positions to give the charging Japanese soldiers a head-on blow.

So he gave the order: "Command the artillery battery, prepare to fire, and give the Japanese a head-on blow!"

"yes!"

The messenger agreed and immediately turned around and ran towards the artillery position.

After receiving the order, Liu Qiang personally controlled a Type 92 infantry cannon and adjusted the shooting at Zhu Yuan as quickly as possible. Just waiting for the Japanese to enter the position, he could fire and blow them up to the west.

Wang Chengzhu, on the other hand, led the soldiers of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th companies, and headed towards the forward position against the spreading poisonous gas.

The Second Company caused a lot of casualties in the previous battle, so this time it acted as a reserve force together with the First Company.

As time passed by, the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers of the attacking force were getting closer and closer.

When they entered less than 300 meters from the forward position of the Independence Battalion, the artillery battery led by Liu Qiang immediately opened fire.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!——"

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 artillery shells of various calibers soared into the air, dragging dazzling tail flames and roaring towards the Japanese army.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! -"

After these shells flew through the sky for about a second or two, they landed heavily in the Japanese attacking group, and exploded violently, blowing the charging Japanese into pieces and leaving corpses everywhere.

The Japanese seemed to have expected the artillery bombardment of the Independent Battalion, because the gas bombs just killed and wounded the Independent Battalion soldiers in the forward positions and did not attack the rear positions.

Therefore, the artillery of the independent battalion was not attacked.

At this moment, they were suddenly attacked. The Japanese commander immediately ordered the troops to speed up and pass through the enemy's artillery blockade as soon as possible.

Among them, Sanada Haruki served as the vanguard officer, leading the remaining 300 Japanese soldiers and rushing to the front.

Masao Nishiyama was well prepared for this and immediately ordered the artillery of the 4th Brigade to open fire immediately to suppress the artillery of the independent battalion and cover the attack of the troops.

The Japanese offensive troops were bombarded by the Independent Battalion Artillery Company, killing and injuring two to three hundred people. The remaining 700 or so Japanese soldiers shouted the slogan "board, board" and moved forward at full speed in a more dispersed formation.

Rush past.

However, because they were wearing gas masks, their voices were affected, just like a group of ghosts and monsters crying and howling.

In order to avenge his crime and perform meritorious service, Sanada Haruki went to full speed and soon rushed to a position less than 50 meters away from the defender's position.

The old Japanese stopped and scanned the forward position of the independent battalion in front of him. Except for some gas bombs that were still smoking, the surroundings were completely silent. It looked like a death zone. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I thought to myself, these stubborn and damned Chinese Tubal Roadmen were finally killed by gas bombs! What a shame!

This time I risked my life and fortune to take the initiative. I made the right bet!

The other Japanese soldiers also saw this scene, and they all imagined the scene of being personally commended by the brigade commander after the battle.

As a result, they all couldn't help but speed up, scrambling one by one for fear of being overtaken by their peers.

Therefore, hundreds of Japanese soldiers soon rushed to a place less than 30 meters away from the forward position of the Independence Battalion. They saw that the trenches of the Independence Battalion that had been bombarded by artillery fire were so close and within reach.

All the Japanese soldiers were extremely excited, more excited than any previous battle.

Because the independent camp has never been more difficult to fight, defeating such an opponent is naturally more exciting than ever.

So, the little devils quickened their pace again, like a group of male dogs in heat, and headed straight for the independent battalion's forward position.

Haruki Sanada used all his strength to charge and still charged at the front of the team, vowing to take the top spot!

Looking at the Japanese attacking troops in front of him, Wang Chengzhu's face once again burst into a cold and murderous smile, and then he personally picked up a Czech-style light machine gun fully loaded with bullets, and took the lead to stand up, "Brother

Guys, give me a beating! Kill these little sons of bitches!"

After an angry roar, the Czech-style light machine gun immediately let out an angry roar.

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"Tu tu tu tu tu!——"

A flurry of bullets was swept out in an instant, and a large number of dense revenge bullets roared towards the crowd of Japanese soldiers.
Chapter completed!
