302 Rage and Revenge
Anger and revenge
At this moment, the large tent became silent because of this poisonous gas battle. More than a dozen officers, headed by the commander-in-chief Zhou Xingguo, all lowered their heads and stood in their own position in the tent without saying a word, waiting for Zhou Xingguo to make a specific decision.
Zhou Xingguo's sharp eyes quickly swept his silent subordinates and said, "Chief of Staff, tell me: How many people did we lose in the poison gas battle just now..."
The Chief of Staff, standing in front of him, looked deeply at the latest battle report in his hand and said with embarrassment: "Teacher, although the brothers have all experienced training on release of poison gas, there is no anti-virus area in our regular equipment for this military operation. Where, in the poison gas attack just now, all the troops located at the center of the poison gas spreading were attacked by poison gas without exception..."
"After statistics, a total of 1,849 officers and soldiers from all over the army died of the disease, and 539 people fell into coma due to poison gas and are undergoing rescue. However, according to the report of the Logistics Field Hospital, because we have too few medicines in this regard, we can only save the lives of these soldiers. If we want to completely treat these unconscious soldiers, we must ask the headquarters hospital for help..."
Zhou Xingguo's face suddenly turned pale. He asked coldly to the Chief of Staff in front of him: "In other words, the Japanese attack on poison gas took away half of our army's troops in a blink of an eye..."
"Yes, the division seat... If the headquarters cannot receive timely reinforcements in medicine, the number of casualties in the army will continue to increase..." the Chief of Staff responded.
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zizhong, who had an angry face, had already slapped the table in front of him. He stared at his pair of angry eyes and scolded loudly: "Dog Japanese devils. He actually used such despicable means... I, Zhang Zizhong, swear that you must make your blood debt and pay for your blood..."
After saying that, he stared at Zhou Xingguo, who was also angry around him, and continued to speak: "Brother Zhou, I suggest that we should avenge the Japanese in Xinyizhou City and the soldiers who died. For the Japanese in Xinyizhou City, we should not have a prisoner. All of them will be killed without mercy..."
Zhou Xingguo, who clenched his fists, said without reservation: "I agree that if these little Japanese devils are not killed, they are not enough to calm the anger of the people, and if they are not killed, they are not enough to calm the anger of tens of thousands of brothers..."
After saying that, Zhou Xingguo suddenly thought of the hundreds of wounded soldiers who were in urgent need of treatment in the field hospital in the rear. His angry face suddenly became serious. He pointed at the chief of staff in front of him and ordered decisively: "What are you still standing there? Immediately report the battlefield situation and our losses to the General Command... At the same time, he asked the General Command for doctors and drug support..."
"Bang..." The General Command of the Ninth Army of Jinan, a dull slap on the table suddenly came from the office of Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng. The combat room, which was separated from Li Guosheng's office, suddenly became silent. A group of combat staff members were doing their work as carefully as possible. They were afraid that the Commander-in-Chief would vent their anger on themselves.
Li Guosheng's office. Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng was looking at the telegram in his hand with a pale face. Over and over again. Standing directly opposite Li Guosheng, the beautiful figure in a women's military uniform was nothing but someone else, but Li Mengjie, the confidential secretary appointed by Li Guosheng.
Almost two thousand elite troops of the Ninth Army died in the Japanese gas attack before they actually went to the battlefield. As a time traveler who knew the Japanese nature, Li Guosheng regretted it. He regretted that he did not remind Chief of Staff Jiang Baili: When the Japanese were forced to force us, they might use poison gas bombs that had been completely banned in the international community...
Of course, regret is regret. Since things have happened, what Li Guosheng needs to do now is to recover the losses of his Ninth Army as much as possible. At the same time, through a military operation, the Japanese also taste the consequences they might bring to him after using poison gas bombs.
Thinking of this, a sharp murderous aura quickly emanated from Li Guosheng.
As a soldier and having had murderous experience, Li Mengjie, of course, immediately discovered the murderous aura emitted by Li Guosheng. In addition, this was the first time since he met Li Guosheng, he had such a strong murderous aura in front of him. He wanted his secretary Li Mengjie to show a shocked expression on his face.
And just then, Li Guosheng spoke: "Secretary Li, immediately issue an order to the Field General Court to draw the medicines urgently needed on the front line and twenty people correspondingly, and set off immediately and head to Liaodong. In addition, the Comrade Logistics Department will cooperate at all costs. We must deliver these doctors and medicines to Zhou Xingguo in the shortest time..."
The order was issued. When Li Mengjie was still stunned and had not yet reacted from the shock. Li Guosheng was in a bad mood and couldn't help but remind him with a hint of anger: "Secretary Li, haven't you heard my order just now?"
"Ah... Sir, I'll send the order right away..." Li Mengjie, who reacted, looked at Li Guosheng in front of her guilt and responded quickly.
Li Mengjie's panic performance fell into Li Guosheng's eyes, which directly calmed down Li Guosheng's anger. However, through this poisonous gas battle, Li Guosheng's hatred towards the Japanese from the bottom of his heart did not decrease at all. He waved his hand and continued to speak: "Wait a minute, there is another order to the front command of the Liaodong Corps..."
After Li Mengjie's slightly panicked eyes turned to Li Guosheng again. A sharp murderous aura followed closely and emanated from Li Guosheng again. He decisively ordered Li Mengjie: "Since the Japanese are unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. The telegram commander Zhou Xingguo, I agree with his combat plan to 'burn Xinyizhou'. The subsequent 10,000 incendiary bombs will be sent to the forefront of the battlefield in the shortest time..."
"Fire burning Shin-Yiju..."
Hearing this sentence, Li Mengjie quickly showed a hint of unbearable expression on her face. It should be clear that the huge Shinyiju not only stationed thousands of Japanese Kanto troops, but also tens of thousands of Korean people live. Once the entire Shinyiju is turned into a sea of fire, it is conceivable that not only thousands of Kanto troops will be destroyed, but tens of thousands of Korean people will also be buried with them.
Seeing Li Mengjie with a hesitant look in front of her, Zhou Xingguo certainly knew what she was thinking in her heart. He spoke: "Secretary Li, do you think my order is too cruel? I am too cold-blooded..."
Facing the look of Li Guosheng looking at him, Li Mengjie, who was guilty, responded directly with silence.
Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, who was sitting in his own position, unexpectedly did not get angry, but showed an intriguing bitter smile and said, "Secretary Li. Do you think that if we do not target military revenge, when will the Japanese continue to use invasive poison gas bombs against us after we force the Japanese to hurry up?..."
"This..." Li Mengjie suddenly began to hesitate in her heart.
Li Guosheng smiled, and before Li Mengjie could get the answer in his heart, he gave a firm conclusion: "Secretary Li, I can tell you with certainty that with the Japanese demons' character on the battlefield, under such circumstances, we will definitely use poison gas bombs that have been completely banned internationally..."
Seeing Li Mengjie with a silent face in front of him, Li Guosheng continued to speak: "Of course, you also need to ask whether the Japanese use poison gas bombs. What does it have to do with our burning of Xinyizhou..."
Although I was not sure why Li Guosheng made me so accurate with his thoughts. However, he nodded by default. He stared at his eyes full of doubt, waiting for the Chinese people in front of him. Even Li Guosheng, whom he had admired for a long time, gave him a satisfactory answer.
Commander-in-chief Li Guosheng did not let himself wait too long, and said in a firm tone: "I can tell you with certainty. There is a very huge relationship between the two."
"What is our purpose of burning Shinyizhou? There is no doubt that retaliation against the Japanese Kanto Army uses poison gas bombs that are completely prohibited internationally. Let the Japanese know that in the face of their poison gas bombs, my Ninth Army is not without revenge. My Ninth Army also has weapons that make the Japanese feel scared and scared."
"Once they use poison gas bombs again in the future, they must be prepared for large-scale military retaliation by our Ninth Army. Through this military retaliation, the Japanese have a real taboo mentality in using poison gas bombs, making them afraid to use poison gas bombs in front of our Ninth Army..."
As an intelligence officer trained by Dai Li himself, Li Mengjie was not a fool, and immediately understood his ultimate goal from Li Guosheng's answer. "Burning Xinyizhou" seemed to be Li Guosheng's loyal act and a military revenge of the Ninth Army against the Japanese army. In fact, this was also the helpless act of Li Guosheng and the entire Ninth Army.
Of course, once this matter is truly implemented, there will undoubtedly be one more halo on Li Guosheng's head. However, this halo is not a praise, but a slander: "Bloody General"...
After taking a deep look, in order for the soldiers of the Ninth Army to no longer be threatened by the poison gas war, they would rather bear some infamous reputation and teach the Japanese a lesson, so that the Japanese would always give Li Guosheng a memory forever. Li Mengjie couldn't help but feel a little moved. After adding another level to Li Guosheng, he responded decisively: "General, I will immediately issue the latest combat order to the front command of the Liaodong Corps..."
Li Guosheng nodded and replied: "Go, remember to send this order with a secret telegram. At the same time, remember to keep it confidential..."
On the battlefield of Xinyizhou, although the counterattack artillery fire of the Liaodong Corps of the Ninth Army destroyed all the limited artillery in the hands of the Kwantung Army in Xinyizhou, these losses were less important than the huge results achieved by these artillery in just a few minutes.
The command of Major General Kurokawa, the highest commander of the Kanto Army, Shinyizhou, was happily reporting to Major General Kurokawa in front of him that the huge results achieved by the Kanto Army during the poison gas attack...
After quickly glanced at the battle report in his hand, the Chief of Staff, who had a smile on his face, quickly spoke: "Master of the Brigade, although our troops have not been able to go deep into the battlefield in detail. However, long-distance observation through the city walls is certain: during the retreat of the ** team outside the city left at least 1,500 corpses on the battlefield..."
"In addition to the bodies taken away by the Zhongxun team and a large number of poisoned wounded soldiers, I can be sure that in the face of this attack by our Kwantung Army, the Zhongxun team outside the city suffered a huge casualties of at least 2,500 people."
"Yo Xi..." Major General Kurokawa showed a rare smile on his face for the first time since the war with the Ninth Army. He nodded very satisfiedly to the Chief of Staff in front of him and said with relief: "Chief of Staff, with such a result, we can finally give an explanation to the soldiers who died in the brigade..."
Then, Major General Kurokawa seemed to have thought of something. The joy that had just appeared on his face was once again shrouded in a burst of sorrow, and he said, "But, after this battle, all the mountain artillery was lost, we will never be able to counterattack the Czech* team. We will cause a lot of killing to the Czech* team..."
The Chief of Staff's face was suddenly covered by a look of frustration, and he responded: "The Brigade Commander is right. However, I thought that after this poison gas attack, the Central Team outside the city would definitely have certain taboos on our defenders. At the same time, such heavy casualties were undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the Central Team. From this perspective, this poison gas attack is not a good thing for our defenders."
Major General Kurokawa's face was filled with sorrow. He quickly and relaxed a lot. After nodding without comment, he spoke: "Chief of Staff, I hope you are right..."
After saying that, Major General Kurokawa, who is the highest commander of the Kwantung Army, slowly returned to his previous serious expression. He looked at the Chief of Staff in front of him with a majestic order: "Chief of Staff, immediately announce the results of the artillery troops. Tell all the defenders. The ** team outside the city will also carry a head on both shoulders, which is not invincible..."
"In addition, order all the defending troops to retreat without the 'retreat' order issued by me personally by the Brigade Command. Anyone, any unit, is prohibited from retreating from the rear. Otherwise, military law is engaged in..."
"The last order is to promote something to the Korean people in the city. The more real the better: In order to retaliate against the artillery fire of our Kanto Army, the ** team outside the city intends to carry out bloody massacres of all the people in Xinyiju after occupying Xinyiju and avenge the officers and soldiers who were killed in the artillery attack... In order to avoid the massacre incident, we must swear to defend Xinyiju to the death."
"At the same time, all the young and middle-aged people in Xinyizhou City were gathered together, and with the cooperation of the reserve team, street fighting fortifications were built in the streets and alleys of the city. Once the city walls could not be defended, we would rely on the street fighting fortifications in the city to kill and injure the living forces of the ** team in the city, so that they could know the combat effectiveness of our Emperor* team..."
Major General Kurokawa's order was issued, and a trace of inspiration suddenly appeared in the heart of the Chief of Staff. To Major General Kurokawa who was in deep thought, he tentatively suggested: "Brig Commander, Hu Zhi has a proposal here..."
"Since we can allow the Shin-Yiju garrison, which is entirely composed of North Koreans to participate in the battle, when the Koreans have no way to retreat, we can recruit a group of people from the young and middle-aged Koreans in the city who have experienced military experience to join the Shin-Yiju City defensive garrison to assist us in defending the city..."
The idea of the Chief of Staff not only can the young and middle-aged Koreans in the city be sent to the city wall to assist in defending the city. More importantly, it can also ensure the stability of the city by controlling these young and middle-aged people. At the same time, it can increase control over the remaining Korean people in the city of Xinyiju, and even push them to the completely opposite side of the Chinese team.
Thinking of the huge benefits, Major General Kurokawa expressed his support without thinking...
In order to increase the strength and strength of the defending city, the vitality of the Zhongxun team should be killed and damaged as much as possible on the battlefield. When the two were busy in the small Shinyizhou, they were busy making military deployments. What Major General Kurokawa did not expect was that the Zhongxun team, which had suffered heavy losses in the poison gas attack, did not intend to give him a chance to fight in close combat at all.
They didn't plan to engage in close combat, so all their deployments inside and outside Shinyiju City would become useless.
The front command of the Liaodong Corps outside the city of Xinyizhou, Zhou Xingguo, the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, breathed a sigh of relief and his carelessness, wanted to repent... A whole day passed, and one of them stood in front of a huge map, silent, and without thinking about food and food...
Seeing Zhou Xingguo's decadent look on his face, his partner Zhang Zizhong had persuaded him many times. However, seeing the sky getting darker and darker, he couldn't help but speak again: "Brother Zhou, don't be sad. The past is over. As the highest commander of the Liaodong Corps Front Command, we must cheer up to avenge our sacrificed comrades..."
After Zhang Zizhong finished speaking, he looked expectant and waited for Zhou Xingguo to respond. The expression of remorse that had been shrouding Zhou Xingguo's face still did not dissipate at all, and he was motionless.
A wry smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Zizhong's face. After shook his head helplessly, he began to pay attention to the combat map in front of him, just like Zhou Xingguo.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded from the door of the tent. Immediately afterwards, the communications consultant stood behind the two of them with excitement.
He reported to Zhou Xingguo with his back to him with excitement: "Teacher, the General Headquarters' urgent telegram..."
"Telecommunication of the General Headquarters..." Zhou Xingguo, who had been waiting for a day, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly turned around and asked anxiously at the communications officer.
"What did the commander-in-chief say? Did you agree to our combat plan to 'burn Shin-Yiju'... Also, when will the incendiary bombs added to us be shipped again?"
