"Poison gas! Zhao Zhiguo's troops have poison gas?"

Gangcun's disbelieving tone revealed his distrust of his subordinate troops.

When a position is lost, it is common for subordinate commanders to deceive superiors and exaggerate the enemy's combat power in order to avoid taking their own responsibility.

Toxic gas is not something that can be created by anyone. It requires a sophisticated laboratory and an almost harsh manufacturing factory.

So when his subordinates reported that they lost their position because the Chinese army used poison gas, how could Gangcun believe it?

"Our investigators also confirmed that there was a foul smell at the position, and many soldiers retched."

If it were just the Japanese soldiers on the front lines who were afraid of fighting and deliberately fabricated lies, it would be impossible for the investigators to cooperate with them, right?

"I still don't believe that Zhao Zhiguo poisoned the gas bomb. This matter must be investigated clearly."

Gangcun would rather believe that Zhao Zhiguo has a large-scale fighter jet than that Zhao Zhiguo can create poison gas bombs.

In fact, it has been difficult for the Japanese army to investigate clearly what methods Zhao Zhiguo used to make Japanese soldiers lose the ability to resist.

The little Japanese's defensive position retreated more than two hundred meters.

After dawn, the Japanese frontline soldiers each received a gas mask.

After half a day of diagnosis by Japanese military doctors, the soldiers on the battlefield showed no signs of poisoning.

In the end, the Japanese army judged that Zhao Zhiguo was not using anger, but something like tear gas. However, the tear gas used to induce tears, while the tactics Zhao Zhiguo used were to induce vomiting.

Zhao Zhiguo's tricks provided Gangcun with ideas.

Zhao Zhiguo did not have poison gas bombs, but the Japanese army did. The little devils could definitely use poison gas bombs.

Zhao Zhiguo's troops have controlled the depth of the position between 200 and 300 meters. Although it is not safe enough, at night, the troops in the rear can completely switch defenses with the Huaxia on the road position.

Thanks to the efforts of the soldiers, the position became stronger and stronger, and artillery strikes were no longer able to cause excessive casualties.

Conventional combat can no longer conquer the position, only very conventional means.

However, Heyun County does not have the conditions to store poison gas bombs. After all, Zhao Zhiguo's troops often operate in Heyun County.

If the gas bombs were stored in Heyun County, Zhao Zhiguo's troops would definitely find a way to destroy them after discovering them.

The poison gas bomb exploded in Heyun County. As the poison gas spread, Heyun County would become a dead city. Not only the people of Heyun County, but also the Japanese troops would be buried with them.

Heyun County could not be fortified due to the poison gas problem, so the Japanese defense area opened the door to Zhao Zhiguo.

"Zhao Zhiguo's troops once seized many gas masks from our army."

Zhao Zhiguo's troops captured Pingcheng, then attacked Jinyang, and later recovered the Bingzhou area. All the materials the Japanese army had hoarded in the city's warehouses were returned to Zhao Zhiguo.

Although the gas masks in the warehouse are not enough to equip all of Zhao Zhiguo's troops, they are still enough to equip a brigade.

In the forward position, only one battalion of troops can be stationed at most, and the gas masks possessed by Zhao Zhiguo's troops are sufficient.

Zhao Zhiguo had just used unconventional weapons to deal with the Japs, and there was no way he would not be on guard against the Japs imitating his example.

Moreover, the little devil's gas bombs were more damaging than Zhao Zhiguo's damaging moves. The tricks Zhao Zhiguo used would at most make the little devil vomit, or make the little devil have a runny nose and tears.

But the Japs' gas bombs were really deadly, and it was impossible for Zhao Zhiguo not to be on guard against them.

"The position is so big. Can Zhao Zhiguo give the gas masks to the frontline troops? Will they be used by their logistics troops or other troops?"

Gangcun believes that it is impossible for all troops in Zhao Zhiguo's logistics troops or on the roads leading to the highway positions to have gas masks.

"Immediately send a telegram to the rear to send a batch of special bombs to Heyun County."

In order to regain the position and completely block the highway position, Gangcun dared to use any means.

While Zhao Zhiguo ordered the transportation of gas masks to the front line, he also ordered another regiment of the third brigade to switch defenses with Zhao Ziming and others.

The replaced troops should seize the time to recuperate. If the frontline battle does not go smoothly, the two main regiments of the third brigade will take turns defending the road positions.

The troops who had been surrounded by the Japanese army for a month were finally replaced by troops and returned to the rear.

Although they know they are safe in their positions, their mental states are completely different when they are in an encirclement and when they are not in an encirclement.

After Zhao Ziming retreated from the highway position, he rushed to Zhao Zhiguo's headquarters without stopping.

The two brothers also cried with joy when they met!

"Commander, political commissar, I have to go back!"

After Zhao Ziming reported on their battles over the past month, he immediately told Zhao Zhiguo and Matthew Wen that as long as there was still one soldier in their third brigade on the battlefield, as the brigade commander, he must be with his brothers.

Zhao Zhiguo couldn't say anything about whether to let Zhao Ziming go back, so he could only let Ma Xiuwen arrange it.

"Let's do this, give you two days of rest, two days of vacation, and then return to the road position after two days." Matthew suggested.

Qin Dongsheng's Second Brigade tore a hole in the Japanese position, but this hole could be closed at any time, and the highway position would become a can that could be covered at any time.

People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.

After a month of isolation from the world and facing a powerful enemy right under your nose, some people will always become neurotic.

A comfortable hot bath, clean clothes without fleas, finally there is salt in the food, and the usual luxury of sunshine has become so cheap at this time.

The sound of gunfire rang out far away, and the soldiers returning from the road position felt like they were alive alone.

"Sixth company commander, please replenish your company's recruits. There are eighteen recruits in total. This is the list. Take the time to verify it. I have to go to other companies."

A staff officer from the regiment led new recruits and began to replenish the vacant personnel in each company. Every vacant position meant that the person who had been there had died in the battle.

The veterans leaned against the south wall, letting the warm sunshine hit them. The headquarters gave the soldiers guarding the road position a day off, but they were not allowed to leave the station and waited for orders to assemble at any time.

Some soldiers were busy writing letters to their families to report that they were safe, and some were busy taking baths, otherwise their bodies would become flea nests.

There is nothing else to do but greedily enjoy the unstinting gifts of the sun.

The veterans looked with interest at the new recruits, a group of brand new faces who would fight alongside them in the future.

"This batch of new recruits is pretty good. They all look energetic," said a veteran.

"You are also a raw melon egg, why are you pretending to be a veteran?" Another soldier said.

The first soldier to speak was a soldier who had just joined the army before going to the road position. The road position was his first battle and the only battle so far.
