I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 411: Shinozuka Yoshio

Ding Wei said: "The Japanese are all hiding in their fortifications and won't come out. This battle is going to be difficult!"

Song Wenwan: "You won't trick the Japanese into coming out to fight, will you?"

Ding Wei said: "Oh, it seems that our Chief Song has a solution. Can you teach me a few tricks?"

Song Wenwan asked his guard company to carry up several sacks.

Ding Wei walked forward and opened the sack. He saw that it was full of small pockets.

When he opened the smaller one's pocket, he saw it was full of unknown powder.

Ding Wei opened the mouth of another sack, lowered his head to look inside, and immediately covered the sack with his hands.

Ding Wei looked panicked and looked up at Song Wenwan.

It was only mid-April, but beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down my face.

"Commander Song, you have to think twice, we can't use this thing casually.

Although you are still on the side of the National Army, the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army cannot control you.

Once this matter gets out, the person above won't dare to make things difficult for you.

But your reputation at home and abroad will be ruined."

Song Wenwan laughed: "What are you thinking, even Lao Li can't do this.

I am much smarter than him, how could I not know what I can touch and what I can't touch?"

Ding Wei curled his lips and whispered: "Even with Li Yunlong's tens of thousands of people, how can they compare with you.

I have calculated it for you, but I don’t know how much you have now.

But I can still guess how many troops you can mobilize.

To put it in the least, the number of troops that can be dispatched by you now should not be less than 500,000.

You are an invisible commander of a major war zone, what is there that you dare not do? "

Song Wenwan: "Okay, Comrade Lao Ding, I was right about you, you are indeed a capable person.

If you get the chance in the future, just follow me.

I dare not say anything else, but the position of the third deputy chief of staff of my Gannan Allied Forces must belong to you.

Lao Ding, don't rush to reject me. What I mean is, if the deputy commander agrees, you can come or not."

Ding Wei was also stunned when he heard this. Song Wenwan was really willing to take such a risk.

You should know that there are only two chiefs of staff in the 14th and 16th Group Army in Gannan.

The current first chief of staff is Ren Jiuge, who serves as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone.

He was in an independent position and was responsible for the defense of Kenanpo, which shows the trust that the Kuomintang, Jin and the Communist Party had in him.

Not to mention the troops under Brother Ren Jiu, he also has an artillery division including a heavy artillery brigade.

Also around him is the Artillery Marine Division, one of the three elite forces of the Gansu Army.

Together with the guerrilla divisions and large and small village-linked teams, he had at least 150,000 troops under his command.

The second chief of staff in Gannan was Guan Zhan. Five militia divisions were also developed in the Jiangnan area.

He also commanded the Marine Division, which was known as the most elite in Gannan.

If we go by the size of the Shanxi Guerrilla Division, it is estimated that the troops under Guan Zhan's command would be around 120,000 to 130,000.

If the boss approves and the generals of the two armies can communicate with each other, I can challenge this position.

Imagine commanding an army of 100,000 people, and Li Yunlong would have to salute him when he saw him...

Hehehe, just thinking about this scene makes me happy.

Song Wenwan has read the original novel of Bright Sword, and he knows Ding Wei's abilities.

If Ding Wei could go to Yan'an University for further studies back then.

When evaluating military ranks, a rank of lieutenant general should still be acceptable.

If Ding Wei could have served as the third chief of staff before 1942.

Maybe by then, his military rank can be raised.

Ding Wei said: "Okay, I'll accept your good wishes and wait for the boss's arrangements.

But today, we have to deal with the Yamazaki Battalion first.

But there are so many people here, you really can’t use this thing today.”

Song Wenwan smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Ding, I knew you are not a rigid person.

I know, you are afraid that I will use poison gas and be discovered by people outside.

I tell you, if the emperor of Japan is hiding on top of Lijiaopo, no one can stop me.

With the few things mentioned above, conventional weapons are enough. If he wants to use the others, Yamazaki must be qualified!

This cloth bag contains shiitake mushroom powder, mushroom powder, and garlic powder.

Tell your comrades to put on gas masks and jump into the fire now.

Remember, try to let the Japanese see you wearing gas masks."

Ding Wei: "What do you mean? If you don't explain it clearly, I won't dare to use it."

Song Wenwan: "Shiitake mushrooms have a special flavor, especially like gas when cooked.

Coupled with the smell of garlic, it especially resembles a kind of poison gas used by the Japanese, mustard gas.

Add to that the chili powder that was just burned, and their bodies will start to itch.

All these symptoms are particularly consistent with the characteristics of being burned by poisonous gas.

If you don’t understand these chemical knowledge, you won’t be afraid at all.

If you want to cheat, just cheat those who know a little about poison gas. As long as you cause panic, are you still afraid that the Japanese will not lose their composure?

The soldiers were asked to wear gas masks in order to convince the Japanese that we had really used poison gas bombs."

When Ding Wei heard the ingredients in the cloth bag, he felt relieved to let the soldiers use it as long as it was not a poison gas bomb.

After a while, a company of special agents wearing gas masks went up.

As soon as the mortars of the New Regiment covering them sounded, these soldiers immediately took action.

The soldiers picked up the firewood, gasoline, and "fuel bags" on the ground and went to add fuel to the fire.

An observation post ran towards Yamazaki in panic.

"Report to the captain, please go to the front line and take a look.

These Eighth Route Army warriors are not like that. They seem to have used poison gas on the Imperial Army."

After finishing the report, the Japanese sentry kept scratching his hand as if to prove something.

The sentry also had some red spots on his face for unknown reasons.

"What? Poison gas? It must have been seized by that bastard Sakata when he was defeated in February.

I didn't expect that it would be used on the Imperial Army itself. It's really a pity that they died.

Telegraph operator, send a telegram immediately to Taiyuan Headquarters, General Yoshio Shinozuka.

Although our troops are defending a desperate situation, they are still fighting bravely against the enemy and are willing to repay the Emperor's favor with their death.

Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army that besieged me actually used mustard gas on my Imperial Army.

Although more than half of our troops have suffered casualties, they are still holding their positions.

I hope General Shinozuka Yoshio will urge all the troops to come closer to me and relieve my siege of Lijiapo."

This telegram asking for help soon reached the hands of Yoshio Shinozuka in Taiyuan City.

Shinozuka Yoshio: "Send a telegram to Captain Yamazaki, the various units of the Shanxi First Army are gathering towards your unit.

I hope Yamazaki-kun will continue to uphold the spirit of the Imperial Army.

Even if we have to fight to the last man, we must not give up our position."

Ono: "Commander, what about the reinforcements from various places?"

Yoshio Shinozuka put his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment and said to Ono.

"Order all units to return to their original positions. There is no longer any need to rescue the Yamazaki Battalion."

After giving the order, Yoshio Shinozuka handed the draft telegram to staff officer Ono for filing, and let Ono leave.

Staff Officer Ono walked out of Yoshio Shinozuka's office with an incredible look on his face.

I didn't expect that my commander would be such a person who would watch his subordinates die without helping them.
