Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Lin Tian suddenly had an idea and inspiration emerged in his mind.

Since these poison gas bombs cannot be dealt with, let's find somewhere to use them.

Lin Tian had already learned the news that nearly 100,000 Japanese troops were heading towards Taiyuan.

If these poison gas bombs are used well, they will be more powerful than a hundred thousand soldiers!

It seems that we are one step closer to opening the sea outlet!

"That's a good idea, Commander!"

"Hahaha, this is a great idea! Return the property to its original owner! Since we can't handle it, let's return the poison gas bombs to the devils and throw them over their heads, and let them figure out a way to deal with it!"

Zhou Weiguo burst into laughter when he heard this. The commander's brain was really unexpected.

In a word, the crisis that had made everyone nervous was properly handled. This is really admirable.

Hearing Zhou Weiguo's words, Liu Wu and others behind him also had their eyes lit up and applauded.

They all praised this as a good idea.

Although the use of poison gas bombs is inhumane, there is no point in talking about humanitarianism with the Japanese, who are not even human.

To deal with the enemy, we must use every possible means and use thundering means to deal a heavy blow to them.

The Japanese carried out countless biological warfare on the battlefields of China, killing countless of our civilians and soldiers. The crimes they committed are too numerous to list. These are the blood and tears of the Chinese nation.

Moreover, the Japanese also conducted live experiments on the Chinese, using them to develop and test various biological weapons. This is simply beastly behavior.

Lin Tian is just giving people a taste of their own medicine. Saying that it is a violation of humanitarianism is simply ridiculous!

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard Lin Tian's words, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a trace of fear finally appeared on his face.

Originally, he had thought that the Imperial Air Force would send bombers to bomb the location of the poison gas bomb warehouse, so that the entire Taiyuan would be buried with him and Junichiro Koizumi.

When he was at his lowest point, it was Junichiro Koizumi, the person he had beaten the most in the past, who always stayed by his side. Yoshio Shinozuka had long regarded Koizumi as his own family member.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the house that night, a shell landed at Koizumi's feet, and Koizumi died.

At that moment, Shinozuka felt like the sky had fallen, and his hatred for the Eighth Route Army was incomparable.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian actually wanted to use poison gas bombs to blow up the locust army. This... this disrupted Xiaozuka's plan.

Without the poison gas bombs, the Locust Army lost its reliance on large-scale destruction of Lin Tian’s troops.

Xiao Zuka believed Lin Tian's words without a doubt. He had seen the bombers of the Eighth Route Army, but he had never seen that kind of aircraft before.

As for those advanced fighter jets, he didn't think the Locust Army's fighter jets could defeat them.

If Lin Tian had a bomber formation, under the escort of those terrifying fighter jets, he would definitely be able to drop tons of poison gas bombs on the locust army.

This kind of poison gas bomb does not give people any chance to react. It only takes one minute from release to killing the enemy. The locust soldiers who have not experienced a poison gas bomb attack in this minute will definitely be confused. They will not have time to react, nor will they have time to put on gas masks.

In this way, the locust army will suffer heavy losses...

"Lin Tian! You can't do this! You are violating international conventions. You cannot use poison gas bombs against the locust army!" Shinozuka Yoshio panicked and finally took the initiative to beg for mercy, but his words were extremely funny.

"Hahaha, Shinozuka, ah Shinozuka, you are the leader of an army, but now it seems that you are the most mentally retarded person in the army!"

"Forget it. Thank you very much for today. If you weren't so stubborn, I wouldn't have thought of this good idea!"

"Remember, Shinozuka, it was you who killed the soldiers of your Locust Army, and it was you who made me drop the poison gas bombs on your Locust Army's positions. Remember, all of this was caused by you!"

After leaving behind a murderous remark, Lin Tian left the cell with his hands behind his back and laughing.

Only Shinozuka Yoshio was left crying hysterically behind him: "Lin Tian! I'm drawing the defense map, don't drop the poison gas bombs, I'm drawing! I'm drawing!"

But Lin Tian didn't even turn his head. Shinozuka Yoshio's heart was broken and his mentality collapsed. He didn't need to waste time talking to a dying Japanese soldier.

……

Ping'an County.

The other Eighth Route Army units that were fighting against the mopping-up operations in the base area have successfully completed their mission and have now arrived at Ping'an County to strengthen the encirclement of Masao Kimitsu.

Masao Kimitsu had a gloomy face at this moment and convened a battlefield meeting.

After they broke out of the ambush circle, they were successively blocked by the Eighth Route Army and were forced to hastily build defensive fortifications on a position with a radius of 50 kilometers.

After intensive digging, the Japanese trenches have been dug, but in the past few days, various units have suffered heavy losses under the repeated attacks of the Eighth Route Army.

He now only had the forces of his 17th Division. The two half-crippled brigades, the 12th Brigade and the 41st Brigade, had long been held back by the Independent Regiment and the New 6nd Regiment with 17 battalions. Moreover, in the previous ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army's artillery column, the th Division had lost nearly troops.

Now, Yoshimitsu Masao only has 20,000 troops left.

By this time, Masao Kimitsu had already received the news that Taiyuan had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, but it was too late for him to regret.

At the beginning, Shouzaiburo urged him to return to rescue Taiyuan, but he did not take it seriously, thinking that it was the Eighth Route Army guerrillas who were harassing Taiyuan.

Unexpectedly, now Taiyuan is lost, and he himself is trapped in this wilderness by the Eighth Route Army, becoming an isolated army.

Masao Kimitsu understood that he had no reinforcements now. The North China Front Army's attention was now all on Taiyuan, and it was impossible for them to send troops to break through the Eighth Route Army's numerous checkpoints to rescue him.

However, the 17th Division only had enough food and supplies to last for ten days. What should it do?

After several years of successful battles, Masao Kimitsu felt for the first time a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.

He had never fought against the Eighth Route Army, which was so powerful and had such advanced weapons and equipment. The number of artillery pieces of the Eighth Route Army was even several times that of his 17th Division.

Another thing is that the Eighth Route Army has won battle after battle and its morale has been greatly boosted. In contrast, the Locust Army has suffered a series of setbacks since it was deployed, and even fell into an ambush, suffering heavy losses. Now it is besieged and its morale is low.

This battle against the odds made Yoshimitsu Masao feel very troubled.

"Chief of Staff, send a message to Commander-in-Chief Okamura!"

"Our 17th Division is determined to draw the enemy's main force into the heart of the Eighth Route Army base, rendering it unable to reinforce Taiyuan!"

"I hope the Locust Army can capture Taiyuan as soon as possible and greatly increase the prestige of our Locust Army!"

Kimitsu Masao called the chief of staff over and spoke.

His current situation means he can only hope that General Okamura Yasuji can occupy Taiyuan as soon as possible, defeat the enemy, and reduce the pressure on him.

At that time, as long as he can still hold on, the locust army will definitely come to reinforce him.

So Yoshimitsu Masao still played a trick and did not mention rescuing him in the telegram.

As the chief of staff had followed Yoshimitsu Masao for more than ten years, he naturally knew what his leader was thinking.

But...can they hold on until the day when reinforcements arrive?
