Chapter 818: Langya Detachment Uses Poison Gas Bombs
In the morning light, the Fenghu Lake sparkles.
Almost all the water in Longtai Lake was taken over by the Japanese soldiers.
The fish crowded in the center of the lake were very pleasing to the eye.
Anan couldn't hide his excitement and laughed:
"Yoshi! You Chinese fish, let the Imperial Army catch you all."
At this time, the Japanese intelligence captain ran over and pointed to the middle of the lake and said:
"Mr. Commander! The big fish that stole your fishing rod is there."
Ananji shouted, "Captain! I order you to catch that big Chinese fish. I want to make it into sashimi."
"Hello!"
The Japanese intelligence captain accepted the order reluctantly.
Anan pulled out his command knife, pointed at the fish in the center of the lake and yelled:
"Catch all the Chinese fish and I'll give you peaches! Catch them!"
"Grasp--!"
The Japanese soldiers let out ghostly and funny roars.
They were busy all night and finally it was time to harvest.
The Japanese soldiers rushed into the mud of Longtai Lake like the wind.
They caught fish to their heart's content, and each of them looked like a mud monkey.
The Japanese brigade commander Saburo Sato also wanted to rush into the lake, but was stopped by Anan Jige.
Anan Ji shouted, "Sato-kun! Senior officers are not allowed to go down and make trouble."
Saburo Sato's childish nature came to him, and he said with a smile, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! It's impossible for the Langya Detachment to come over now, so it's okay to go down and catch some fish."
Anan Jihe shook his head and said, "No! The Langya detachment is like a cunning fox. We don't know when they will appear beside us. We must be on guard."
"Hello!"
Saburo Sato bowed and accepted the order.
Many large fish were carried ashore by the Japanese soldiers and piled up on the embankment, forming a spectacular sight.
Anan Ji said with a smile: "Sato-kun! We are going to steam, braise, grill these Chinese fish..."
While he was daydreaming, there were suddenly several loud noises.
The dam of Fenghu Lake was collapsed by several artillery shells, and the lake water surged out and rushed towards Longtai Lake.
"Flood! Flood!"
The Japanese soldiers shouted loudly and ran to the shore in panic.
It was impossible to run in the mud. In a blink of an eye, all the Japanese soldiers in Longtai Lake were soaked in water.
"Boom! Boom!"
Several artillery shells fell into the pile of Japanese devils in Longtai Lake.
A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded, and their cries of pain echoed throughout Longtai Lake.
Anan was so angry that he yelled, "Baga! Fight back quickly."
The Japanese soldiers on guard on the shore fired in the direction from which the shells were fired.
The Japanese heavy artillery regiment began to debug the heavy artillery and prepared to aim and fire.
Gan Rong took the opportunity to withdraw from the situation and quickly led the Guards Battalion to retreat towards Boli.
Saburo Sato volunteered: "Your Excellency, the division commander! I request that you lead the troops south, attack Boli and destroy the Langya detachment."
Anan Ji looked at the piles of big fish jumping around on the embankment and shook his head.
"No! The attackers are just a group of guerrillas passing by. It's time for breakfast now. We should enjoy the fresh Chinese fish first. It won't be too late to move on after we have eaten our fill."
Sato Saburo said excitedly: "Yoshi! Let's eat the fish first."
In the distance, Gan Rong was worried that a large number of Japanese troops would catch up, so he was ordering the soldiers to push the Type 92 infantry gun to retreat to the south.
If the Japanese soldiers pressed hard, they would have no choice but to drop their guns.
The deputy captain in charge of the rear came up and said happily:
"Captain! The Japs are not chasing us."
Gan Rong was relieved and said with emotion: "What the political commissar said is right. Anan Geometric old devils can't live without those fish."
The deputy captain suggested: "Captain! Why don't we dig up the road to the south so that the Japanese troops at the Longtai Lake can't reach Boli in a short time."
Gan Rong shook his head and said, "Good idea! It will make it difficult for the Japanese soldiers to move forward."
Zangma Mountain, Zuojia Valley.
The valley is deep and forested, with only one mountain path running through it.
The quiet valley was still shrouded in the morning mist.
On the surrounding high ground, nearly 5 people from five battalions of the Langya Detachment were ambushed.
Because they were tired from towing the ship and marching all night, they were all sleeping soundly.
Yang Jiang and Liang Chuxue were at the temporary command center at the back, and said with some concern:
"Captain! Will there be any mistakes if we allow Liu Jun's special brigade to join the battle?"
Liang Chuxue said with a smile: "Trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you doubt! We are all Chinese, who doesn't hate the Japs? Give them a chance to atone for their crimes."
Yang Jiang nodded and said, "Yes!"
At this time, a scout ran over and reported loudly:
"Captain! The Japanese troops coming from Wangjiagou Village burned, killed and looted along the way. Now they have arrived at Zuojia Village outside the valley and are doing evil things again."
Liang Chuxue looked out of the valley and saw thick smoke and flames rising to the sky. He could not help but say bitterly, "These little devils are either doing something bad or on their way to doing something bad."
Yang Jiang suggested: "Captain! Why not send Liu Jun's brigade to lure Nakamura Nara's Japanese troops into Zuojia Valley?"
Liang Chuxue nodded and said, "Okay! Liu Jun's troops are not good at fighting, but they are the best at running. I'll tell Liu Jun."
After he finished speaking, he took out the loudspeaker and gave Liu Jun the order to lure the enemy deep into their territory.
Soon, Liu Jun led about 5 people from his brigade and rushed towards Zuojia Village.
After they got closer, they opened fire fiercely at the evil Japanese soldiers, killing and wounding several of them, and immediately turned around and fled into Zuojia Valley.
The Japanese soldiers were like ants whose nest had been disturbed, and they chased towards Zuojiagu angrily.
Liu Jun was quite good at acting. He turned around and fought with the Japanese for a while before continuing to lead his troops to escape to the bottom of the valley.
The Japanese soldiers were chasing wildly from behind, attracting the Japanese troops behind to follow in.
Nakamura Nara was in the rear armored car and picked up the loudspeaker to ask, "Captain Ito! What happened in the Zuojia Valley ahead?"
The Japanese brigade commander Ito was sitting in the armored car in front, drinking the stolen shochu. He said disapprovingly: "Chief of Staff Nakamura! They are just a small group of Eighth Route Army soldiers. They have been defeated by our army."
Nakamura Nara was familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War. He looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "Ito-kun! This is a dangerous place mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War. You must pass through it quickly, otherwise you will be surrounded and annihilated by the Langya Detachment."
Ito, the brigade commander, was already drunk. He sneered in a very rude manner: "Nakamura Nara! You are too nervous, go back to Anan Jihe. No matter how powerful the Langya detachment is, it is impossible for them to swallow my brigade."
Nakamura Nara was very displeased when he saw that he called him by his name, "Nothing is impossible!"
Ito, the brigade commander, said arrogantly: "Nakamura Nara! Since I set foot on Chinese soil, I have never met an opponent. I have killed more Chinese than you have drunk."
"Boom! Boom!"
Several artillery fires rang out from the top of the valley, and countless shells fell into the pile of Japanese troops.
The shells did not explode when they hit the ground, but instead emitted thick green smoke.
The Japanese soldiers were familiar with this thing, but it was the first time they were shot at it.
Some Japanese soldiers reacted and shouted:
"Baga! This is the Empire's poison gas bomb."
"I didn't bring a gas mask when I came out."
"Quick! Give me your gas mask."
The Japanese soldiers grabbed gas masks and caused chaos in the valley.
The vast majority of the Japanese did not wear gas masks and a large number of them were poisoned.
Nakamura Nara saw this scene and roared angrily:
"Baka! The Langya detachment actually used poison gas bombs."
The voice of the Japanese brigade commander Ito sounded through the megaphone:
"All troops, speed up and rush out of Zuojia Valley."
Nakamura Nara picked up the megaphone and yelled:
"No! Retreat, withdraw from Zuojia Valley."
The most taboo thing on the battlefield is multiple commands, which makes the troops at a loss.
The Japanese troops were instantly thrown into chaos and retreated towards the nearest valley entrance.
