It had to be said that Xu Ziqiu's guess was very accurate. The Japanese Army's 78th regiment had already prepared a batch of mortar shells with poisonous gas warheads.
On a small slope, nearly ten Japanese mortars were placed here, targeting the position in front of them.
This position was like a huge rock blocking their way, causing their alliance to suffer heavy losses. Now, it was their turn to pay the price.
Although their equipment was very advanced, they would definitely not want them to use the internationally banned gas bombs.
"Release!" The Japanese army placed the shells that had been prepared into the barrel.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Muffled sounds of artillery fire could be heard as the mortar shells flew towards the 1st Battalion.
The soldiers who were already wearing gas masks quickly retreated into the deep trenches, but they did not hear a loud roar. Instead, the sound was very dull.
Immediately after, there was a sizzling sound, like the sound of gas leaking. At this time, their hearts could not help but tighten. It was obvious that the Japanese army was using poison gas bombs.
Thick smoke of all colors rose from the 1st Battalion's position and soon enveloped the entire camp.
Just as they were about to fire the next wave of artillery shells, 80mm mortar shells smashed into the Japanese artillery position, causing a huge explosion. The soldiers of the 1st Battalion reacted very quickly and quickly locked onto the target.
There were a lot of poisonous gas shells stored in the mortar position. They were detonated in the explosion, and a moment later, thick smoke rose from the Japanese side.
Those Japanese soldiers who were not killed by the explosion clutched their necks. Their faces turned purple as if they were going to strangle themselves to death. Soon, they fell one by one.
The poisonous smoke began to drift towards the Japanese army's barracks along with the wind. Immediately, the Japanese army was in chaos. This smoke was completely life-threatening. Whoever touched it would die, and it was an extremely painful death.
They all began to run in another direction where there was no poisonous gas.
On the contrary, the Japanese army that was preparing to attack the position escaped this disaster, but they would also embark on the journey of death.
Seeing the chaos in the direction of the barracks, the captain of this brigade could not help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he was not in the barracks just now. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would be the ones who suffered.
"Attack!" Seeing that the 1st Battalion's camp was already shrouded in thick smoke, he felt that it was time to reap the fruits of victory.
As expected, Auntie Amaterasu was on their side. Not only did she escape from the poisonous gas, but she was also able to reap the fruits of victory smoothly and make a great contribution.
The Japanese soldiers wearing gas masks heard the commander's order and began to move towards the camp with their rifles.
At this moment, Xu Ziqiu personally came to the front of the camp. It was very uncomfortable to wear a gas mask, but there was no other way. Fortunately, the Japanese only used respiratory infection poison.
If they were to use the skin contact type of poison gas, then they would really suffer heavy losses.
Now, the soldiers of the first battalion were wearing gas masks and waiting for the Japanese attack. The observers had been monitoring the movements of the Japanese army. The soldiers of the first battalion had already filled their pockets and waited for the Japanese attack.
In just a few minutes, the Japanese army was less than 200 meters away from the position. Because of the poisonous yellow smoke, the Japanese army could not see the specific situation of the position at all. They could only see the hazy shadow.
Of course, the vision of the 1st Battalion was also very poor, but they had many rapid-fire weapons.
"Fight!"
When the Japanese army rushed to 100 meters away from the position, Xu Ziqiu decisively ordered to open fire. If the Japanese army moved forward, they should solve the pontoon bridge.
"Si, si, si!"
The sound of the cloth ripping machine rang out again. Although the Machine Gunner's vision was not very clear, he could still see the blurry shadows. As long as he pulled the trigger at these shadows, he would definitely gain something.
The soldiers fired based on their instincts. The Japanese army was knocked down by the sudden fierce firepower.
At this time, the Japanese captain was very stunned. Why were they still alive and not poisoned? Could it be that they knew that they were going to bombard the city and were prepared?
However, this was impossible. This was a last-minute decision by the regiment commander.
At this moment, a stray bullet opened a big hole in the captain's head. With endless doubts, the Japanese captain went to see their Auntie Amaterasu. Perhaps their Auntie would be able to answer their doubts.
The Japanese army was also ruthless. They shouted and rushed forward as if they did not care about their lives. Now, they did not care about the line of soldiers. They directly rushed forward using the human wave tactic.
In the Japanese army's view, the lives of Japanese soldiers were worthless. It was their honor to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, Noki Xidian would not have been praised as a military god.
His title of God of War was earned from the lives of those Japanese soldiers.
The artillery troops in the rear had also shifted their targets and fired at the Japanese attacking forces. One shot could take the lives of several Japanese soldiers.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and the smoke had already dispersed. The situation on the battlefield was clear at a glance. There were Japanese corpses everywhere, and the winner was still the first battalion.
