Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At dawn, everything was quiet, not even the birds chirped. The gunshots became more and more sharp, shaking the air and spreading into the distance. Under normal circumstances, for a veteran field unit like the 6th Brigade, this string of gunshots would  , enough to stimulate the reaction of the soldiers on the position, or there was a loud sound of gunfire, or a noisy gathering of people, but nothing happened. Jiang Xianliang's shuttle of submachine gun bullets seemed to disappear in the air.

    A few days before this, the commander of the Independent Division ordered Major General Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the division's logistics department and Peking Joint Logistics Department, to equip all soldiers participating in the northern campaign with gas masks. Zhou Yushan overcame various possibilities and completed the task.  , gas masks were distributed to every soldier, and the 6th Marine Brigade was no exception. However, during the Japanese raid at dawn, the gas masks did not play a role.

    By mistake, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon, the commander of the 107th Division of the Japanese Army, did not know that the independent division troops were issued gas masks. His plan was for the special mortar brigade to launch special artillery shells -  - Nerve gas bomb code-named ""A¡ª¡ªV"001". This gas bomb can paralyze a person's nerves and cause them to lose their ability to move and their consciousness, but it cannot kill them immediately.

    Then, the division's artillery group carried out all-round bombardment of the main position of the Phoenix Mountain of the Independent Division and the surrounding positions. According to Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon's vision, there were people everywhere on the position who retained their consciousness, but they  The soldiers of the Independent Division who were unable to move helplessly watched the imperial army's artillery shells raining down overwhelmingly. They could not avoid or hide. The fear was so strong. What he wanted was this kind of effect, to destroy the Independence mentally.  The fighting will of the division soldiers charges the infantry behind them.  Fully remove obstacles.

    ¡° If Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon follows the Japanese attack method, which is to shell first and then fire gas bombs, then the soldiers of the Sixth Brigade will be defeated.  The gas mask you carry with you will make the Japanese gas bombs ineffective.

    A small tactical change brought huge disaster to the Sixth Brigade. The soldiers were all asleep and unknowingly poisoned.  At dawn, a moderate northeasterly wind blew, causing the poisonous gas to spread throughout the Phoenix Mountain position. The changes in tactics and the favorable natural climate made Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon's attack plan unprecedentedly smooth.

    Jiang Xianliang did not give up.  Another round of bullets was fired into the air, and this time there was a reaction. However, it was not at the forward position, but at the rear of the position. Officers and soldiers wearing gas masks appeared one after another in Jiang Xianliang's field of vision. Fortunately, today  When I first arrived at the Phoenix Mountain position.  Jiang Xianliang ordered the first regiment to dig more communication trenches and make the defense as deep as possible. The second-line troops in the rear were slightly poisoned. Although they were also exhausted, they could still move.

    Looking at the assembled troops.  It was just a little more than a battalion, a regiment of reserves. When I heard the direction of the front line, there was still silence.  Mr. Jiang's conscience was burning with pain. Unknowingly, he had fallen into the trap of the little Japanese!

    Jiang Xianliang glared fiercely at Meng Jianzhu, the commander of the first regiment, and said: "Meng Jianzhu, the situation is not good. The troops on the front line have all been poisoned by poison gas. You should bring the reserve team up immediately. Ignore the little devil's attack first, the poisoned soldiers must be put away."  , everyone, withdraw to the third-line position. Don¡¯t worry about weapons, ammunition and equipment. It¡¯s more important to save people! I order the brigade¡¯s heavy artillery regiment to cover your actions with artillery fire, be quick!¡±

    Seeing a battalion of soldiers wearing gas masks disappearing into the dawn mist, Jiang Xianliang's chest felt as heavy as a huge boulder. Since the little devil thought of releasing the poison gas first, he must have the back-up plan to attack later.  Now, we know that the first regiment has lost more than 80% of its combat effectiveness. What about the other regiments?

    Jiang Xianliang rushed back to the headquarters of the first regiment and called the second and third regiments. The situation was similar to what he expected. The soldiers on the first line, including the second line, were all asleep, and they were possessed by the little Japs.  Dao'er, the situation is similar to that of the Yi Regiment. The main troops are all on the front line.

    Jiang Xianliang almost vomited blood, which meant that the Sixth Brigade had basically lost its combat effectiveness. He had no time to think carefully, why did the vigilant skirmishers three kilometers away from the front position not issue any alarm?  How did the little devil reach the front of the position quietly?

    After anxiously walking around in the shelter for a few times, Jiang Xianliang suddenly remembered something and grabbed the phone, "I'm Jiang Xianliang. Get me to the brigade field hospital immediately and find the director! Quick!"

    The call was quickly connected. The Sixth Brigade Field Hospital was at the rear of the position, where the Japanese poisonous gas had not yet spread. The director did not understand the situation yet. He heard that the brigade commander had called in a hurry in the early morning.  , inexplicable, "Brigadier, I am the dean Fang Zhizhou, what are your orders!" He said.

    Jiang Xianliang said hurriedly: "Dean Fang,The situation is urgent. The front line position of Phoenix Mountain and the positions on the left and right wings were attacked by gas bombs by the Japs. Most of the soldiers fell in the trenches. I order you and all the military doctors and nurses in the field hospital to organize rescue immediately. Yes, go ahead.  Forward position!  If someone dies, I'll question you!  "

    Dean Fang grinned and said: "Brigadier Commander, it is okay to mobilize the entire field hospital, but we have to know what type of poison gas the soldiers were hit by before we can take targeted rescue measures. Therefore, we need to take samples first.  After conducting physical and chemical tests to determine the type of poisonous gas fired by the Japanese army, we should carry appropriate antidote. If our field hospital does not have an antidote, we still need to ask the headquarters hospital for help! "

    Dean Fang was an intellectual and was very strict. He rambled a lot, which made Jiang Xianliang furious and shouted, "That's enough, Dean Fang. Just send someone as soon as possible. There's so much nonsense."  , I¡¯ll tell you the symptoms are weakness and confusion!¡±

    The brigade commander swore. This was the first time for Dean Fang to tremble with fright. Fortunately, the symptoms mentioned by the brigade commander were clear enough. He immediately said: "I understand, brigade commander, it is a nerve gas. I  Organize a medical team to go to the front line immediately!¡±

    After Jiang Xianliang issued strict orders to the brigade field hospital, he called the heavy artillery regiment of the brigade, "Heavy artillery regiment? I am Jiang Xianliang, ordering you to prepare for battle immediately and wait for my order!"

    Just as he put down the phone, Jiang Xianliang suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the northern sky. It was the sound of high-speed flying metal projectiles rubbing the air. Moreover, there were definitely a lot of them. His face,  It immediately turned pale. Of course Jiang Xianliang, who had been in battle for a long time, could hear it. It was a salvo of at least two hundred artillery pieces of different calibers, "The little devils shelled. On the front line, three people were still lying unable to move."  Most of the soldiers in this regiment, the little devils are going to kill them all!"

    Jiang Xianliang hurriedly grabbed the phone, "Heavy artillery regiment, I order to fire immediately to suppress the Japanese artillery fire and shoot out all the shells. Even if there is only one gun left, we must continue the bombardment. On the forward position, more than 10,000 soldiers  My life depends on the protection of your heavy artillery regiment!"

    When he issued this order, Jiang Xianliang did not have much confidence in his heart. He did not know and forgot to ask whether the position of the heavy artillery regiment had been hit by the Japanese gas bombs. In just a few minutes, the first round of artillery shells struck by the Japanese artillery  Before Phoenix Mountain and the surrounding defense lines exploded, a scream came from behind the Sixth Brigade position, quickly passing overhead and flying to the north.

    The heavy artillery regiment of the 6th Brigade and the artillery group of the 107th Division of the Japanese Army began a brutal artillery battle with disparity in power. The sky was immediately filled with whistling and intertwined ballistic trajectories, and the peaceful dawn was no longer  There were violent explosions and smoke everywhere.

    Jiang Xianliang took a deep breath. Fortunately, the heavy artillery regiment was fine. Otherwise, the Sixth Brigade would have suffered a big loss today. Only then did he feel that all the strength in his body seemed to have been taken away, and his legs  It was soft, as if he had stepped on a pile of cotton, his head was dizzy, and stars were shining in his eyes. He wanted to find a place to have a good sleep, but Jiang Xianliang knew that he could not fall.

    Although the brigade heavy artillery regiment can exert a certain suppressive effect on the Japanese artillery, since it is a carefully planned attack by the Japs, it cannot be just an artillery attack. Next, there will be a large-scale infantry assault. He fell.  The sixth brigade is finished!

    He held on and walked into the radio room of the shelter. He saw several operators, all wearing gas masks, guarding the radio station energetically. Although they were poisoned, they had not lost the ability to move. Han Tie commanded the troops to enter  In the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, the three Marine Corps brigades on the Gaizhou and Andong lines were directly under the command of the division command. Jiang Xianliang sat on the damp ground in the shelter and dictated the message to the division command.

    "The division pointed out that at dawn today, our Sixth Brigade's main position at Fenghuang Mountain north of Andong and its surrounding positions were suddenly attacked by Japanese gas bombs. Unprepared, the troops lost more than 80% of their troops.  Combat strength, now, the Japanese army has begun to bombard our positions. Please tell me what to do next. Although we are in an extremely unfavorable situation, all the officers and soldiers of the 6th Brigade will never lose an inch of their positions and are willing to live and die with them!"

    After dictating the telegram, Jiang Xianliang's face turned sallow and he was breathing heavily. Outside the shelter, the sound of artillery became more and more intense. The shells exploded above the shelter, shaking the soil on the ceiling and falling down. He ordered the guards,  "Go, get a bucket of cold water and pour it on me!"

    Several guards were strong, and after putting on gas masks, they basically regained their ability to move. Soon, a large bucket of cold water was brought, but the guards hesitated. Jiang Xianliang became angry and shouted viciously: "Pour it on quickly!  Don't act like a bitch!"
