Chapter 1030: The Isolated Army (3)
Major Black Hawk Army, holding a telescope and bulging his cheeks, gritted his teeth like soldiers on the mountain who were watching their kingdom with a telescope.
It was this kingdom defender position that had become a lonely army and was completely cut and surrounded by a total of 10 attacks by his three infantry squadrons. Whether it was mountain artillery field artillery or aircraft bombing, the kingdom people on the top of the mountain seemed like iron men. No matter how strong the bombing was, as long as the infantry attacked within 200 meters, their gunshots would ring again.
The most hateful thing is that their grenades were thrown down from a high position, and at least 60% of the more than 100 imperial warriors died in battle were killed on them.
"Xu Dan, are your warriors ready?" Major of the Black Hawk Army put down his telescope and asked at a lieutenant beside him.
"The captain of the new dynasty has been fully prepared." The Lieutenant of the Black Hawk Army replied loudly.
"Okay! Tell them that they can start shelling. In fifteen minutes, you will be commanded by the infantry squadron to start attacking." The Black Hawk Army Major nodded, with a cruel smile on his face: "Kingmen, enjoy the gifts prepared by the Imperial Army for you!"
The lieutenant's face changed when he heard the cannon again, "The dog-good Black Hawk Empire really wants to play tricks again. Lao Zhang, you guys should be careful on the position. This time it may be even better."
Before he finished speaking, the shells that were roaring and exploded more than 20 meters away from the trench, but there was no usual violent explosion, nor did it burst out the same black smoke as usual, but a yellow-green smoke suddenly burst out.
"Everyone, put a gas mask on me." The lieutenant's face suddenly changed and he shouted at the top of his lungs.
As an army that has fought with the Black Hawk Empire Army for several battles on the battlefield in Heyuzhou, the 17th Division is not unfamiliar with the Black Hawk Army's green smoke bombs.
Poison gas bombs are often used by the Black Hawk Empire when encountering difficult positions. Under the attack of the terrifying poison gas that does not have gas masks, the guards without gas masks have no power to fight back.
The Black Hawk Army, wearing a gas mask, often only needs to throw grenades into it and then finish with a bayonet, and there will be no living person on the kingdom's position.
This is the last method used by the Black Hawk Army to attack, but it is always invincible when facing the Kingdom defenders without gas masks.
The number of poison gas bombs arrived in Luojin County was as high as five trucks.
However, the Fifth Company of the 102nd Regiment of the 17th Division, which was hanging on the position at this time, was pretty good, because Liu Lang had expected before the war that the Black Hawk Empire Army would definitely use poison gas bombs. Not only did he have precedents in the Battle of the Ancient City, but in memory of the Battle of Lingpizhou in the play, the Black Hawk Empire Army also used poison gas on a large scale. So when I learned that when I came to Gu Yongfeng to participate in the war, in addition to the simple gas masks for each of the Independent Regiment as standard, he also carried a large number of gas masks with the army to give to friendly forces.
Not to mention that there are more than 2,000 people in the 66th Regiment of the 86th Brigade, there are only one person. The Third Army on the Guyongfeng Front Line also sent 1,500 mates, and the 17th Division, an important ally, and Liu Lang even sent 2,500 mates. However, compared with the 17th Division with more than 12,000 people, 2,500 mates are not enough.
Huang Lanfeng could only equip 1,000 pairs of the 102nd Regiment located on the front line of Xuehua Mountain, and the remaining people prepared towels and clear water. Once they encountered the Black Hawk Army's poison gas battle, they would use wet towels to cover their mouths and noses to prevent them. If the mountain wind was strong enough, it would generally support the poison gas to dissipate.
As the key position, the Fifth Company basically has a pair of people, and now it has a large number of personnel reduced. The entire position and the severely injured are only less than fifty people, which should have been enough. Unfortunately, because of insufficient experience, the gas mask was not distributed and some ammunition was stored at the beginning of the battle. As a result, it happened to be hit by a mountain cannon shell of the Black Hawk Army, causing the ammunition to explode. Eighty percent of the gas masks were damaged, and only twenty-eight were left intact, picked up by the soldiers and placed in the newly dug anti-aircraft hole.
But now, they have thirty-four people and eight seriously injured people.
