    In the high altitude, the Japanese fleet quickly found the canyon filled with gunpowder smoke. More than a dozen bombers gradually lowered their altitude, adjusted their positions, and dived towards the center of the battle with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.  "Not good" Wu Ming soon discovered the diving bomber, and then looked at the more than 20 Japanese fighter jets in the sky that were on alert. He quickly ordered Yin Dizhong: "The whole army retreatsOrder all troops to leave the battle immediately. The last one  Wu Ming almost yelled, "What's wrong?"  ¡± Yin Dizhong was puzzled. It¡¯s not like he had never seen Japanese bombers before. When he was in Pinghu, eastern Zhejiang, he was bombed many times a day, and it didn¡¯t matter. Now the battle situation in the canyon has been decided, but due to the special terrain of the mountainous area, it is estimated that it will take  It will take some time to eliminate the remnants of the enemy, but correspondingly, the explosion effect of the aerial bombs may not be very great. Why give up an easy victory? Wu Ming pointed at the swooping Japanese aircraft and said loudly: "The little devil is obviously going to throw it?"  There are poison gas bombs Previously, due to the early retreat of our troops on the Meichi Ridge line, the Japanese poison gas bombs had no effect. Now our troops are concentrated in the canyon. They must want to make money back Order the troops to withdraw from the battlefield immediately." Yin Dizhong  His face suddenly turned pale. Since there was not much cover on the high ground at the mouth of the canyon, it was not conducive for the anti-aircraft guns to hide. In order to seduce the Japanese army, the anti-aircraft guns on the Meichi Ridge line were withdrawn overnight, resulting in extremely weak air defense firepower in such a large area.  Due to the continuous expansion of the army, there is a large gap in the gas masks produced by the Maoliangwu Arsenal, and many companies in the Independent Division are not equipped. If the Japanese aircraft dropped poison gas bombs, it would be a terrible disaster. "Yin Dizhong ordered the commander.  When the soldiers blew the trumpet to retreat, Colonel Hu Chongwen, the chief of staff of the independent division who was directing the operation on the front line, had already taken practical action. More than 30 heavy machine guns had been set up, their muzzles pointed directly at the blue sky, and the machine gunners were staring at the incoming enemy.  The Japanese aircraft silently calculated the lead time. The Japanese aircraft did not find several temporary air defense positions. It was too late, but suddenly a dense firepower network sprang up among the mountains, covering the several Japanese bombers rushing in front.  The Japanese pilots were brave and did not pay attention to the anti-aircraft firepower of these machine guns. They turned sideways to get rid of the dense bullets, and then continued to swoop down closer to the canyon, powered by Type 92 heavy machine guns and Marks.  The anti-aircraft firepower network woven by the Qin heavy machine guns became more and more dense. Some soldiers on the battlefield were in groups of two, with one person holding a stand in front and the other manipulating a Czech light machine gun. They fired at the aircraft randomly, unable to dodge the two Japanese bombers.  It was probably hit in the ammunition compartment, and exploded in the air. The fuselage turned into pieces and fell to the ground, making a violent noise. The burst of fire caused a burst of yellow smoke. There was also a Japanese bomber that was hit in the wing, and the fuselage shook violently.  , the Japanese pilots hurriedly dropped a few aerial bombs and then raised their altitude. The planes shot straight into the blue sky with a column of black smoke. Taking advantage of the bombers in front to attract ground anti-aircraft firepower, the Japanese bombers almost brushed the hills and were near the ground.  More than a hundred meters away, gas bombs were hurriedly dropped, and then they were quickly lifted up and flew high into the sky. Just as the fierce battle in the air and on the ground was in full swing, the bugle sounded, but it was not the expected charge, but a retreat.  The order was getting louder and louder. At first there was only one bugle, but then it became louder and louder. How could the officers and soldiers order the retreat when they were about to wipe out all the troops?  Answer, while stopping the charge, he cast doubtful eyes on the leading officer.  The officers were also full of questions, but when they saw bursts of light yellow smoke rising from the place where the Japanese army dropped the bomb, they understood everything.  Long before departure, Wu Ming warned the Japanese army that they might use poison gas bombs. Every officer knew the horror of poison gas.  "Quick, retreat" Without any hesitation, officers at all levels directed the troops to move to both sides of the canyon, far away from the rapidly spreading yellow smoke.  Since the retreat order was issued promptly and there was no mountain wind, the poisonous gas did not spread as fast as expected, so no large-scale poisoning incident occurred.  But even so, more than a thousand people in the entire New Second Division were still poisoned, mainly because the soldiers around the explosion point couldn't escape at all.  Most of the remaining Japanese troops were equipped with gas masks. They quickly put them on when they saw the situation, and then desperately broke through to the mouth of the canyon in the north. Since the officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd regiments of the Independent Division guarding the mouth of the gorge had already evaded, the total number of this group was less than 500.  The remnants of the Japanese army broke out.  Fortunately, the New Second Division took advantage of the Japanese army's lack of dispatch and promptly launched a countercharge to the lost position on the Meichi Ridge line. After more than two hours of fighting, it drove back the unsteady Japanese army and resumed the pre-war confrontation situation.  In the afternoon, the mountain wind picked up, the poisonous fog finally dissipated, and the independent division officer?Start cleaning the battlefield.  The officers and soldiers of the independent division who had not retreated in time died in extremely miserable conditions. The skin all over their bodies was flushed and swollen, and in some serious cases, the shoulder blades to the back were eroded, which was shocking at first sight.  At the mouth of the canyon, Wu Ming walked past the neatly arranged corpses, with a painful expression and flushed eyes. "Military seat, it was my lack of consideration and lack of air defense preparations that led to such heavy losses." Yin Dizhong was very sad.  Sad, but in view of Wu Ming's safety, he still advised: "Military seat, you can punish me however you want But it is very dangerous here. Japanese planes may appear at any time, and the Japanese troops from the north may overwhelm you at any time I will leave the aftermath.  That's all. You'd better go back to the military headquarters as soon as possible." Wu Ming snorted coldly, pointed at the corpses of the dead soldiers, and got angry at Yin Dizhong: "I brought these officers and soldiers here, now  They died on the battlefield, can't I personally see and restrain them? "Do you think I'm afraid of death?" Yin Dizhong was a little overwhelmed by Wu Ming's instruction: "Military seat, what I mean is" "Okay?"  Come on, get out of the way." Wu Ming pushed Yin Dizhong away, jumped to a raised rock nearby, looked at the temporary field hospital set up at Sunxiwu in the southwest, and waved his hand: "Come on, follow me to visit the wounded.  "The field hospital was busy. Doctors and nurses came in and out of the temporary operating shed. Doctors and nurses came one after another from Licaowu in the south carrying medicines.  In each treatment room, the nurses acted quickly and disinfected the poisoned wounded in batches and time periods.  The entire hospital is like a fast-moving machine. Doctors and nurses are spinning around and walking at a trot.  Wu Ming did not disturb Steve's operation and took Yin Dizhong and others to the temporary ward made of tents.  Above the operating room, treatment room and tent, dense camouflage nets are connected like grapevines. Looking from the sky to the ground, everything is green.  Entering the tent, every time he walked to a wounded soldier, Wu Ming would touch their hands or touch their cheeks, say a few words of comfort, and then move to the bed of the next wounded soldier.  When Wu Ming left, most of the wounded soldiers cried, turned their heads, and silently wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, with mixed feelings in their hearts.  Walking into the next ward, Sun Chengyuan, who was discharged from the hospital before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year and served as Wu Ming's adjutant again, whispered in his eldest brother's ear: "Military seat, Deputy Commander Long is here with the military officers." "Since you are here, let me  Let them comfort the wounded." Wu Ming did not stop, with a solemn look on his face: "Tell them that war is cruel, and there is nothing you can do but take advantage and not suffer losses. Now they should know that our New Second Army is not omnipotent.  If we are not careful, we will still suffer defeat." An hour later, near the office of the field hospital built with prefabricated houses at the foot of the southern mountain, Wu Ming was sitting in the middle, and other generals were scattered everywhere, all focusing on Steve, the director of the field hospital.  face.  "Military seat, judging from the current situation, it is not too bad." Steve briefly explained the situation of the wounded: "After repeated disinfection of the infected parts, the respiratory tract and digestive tract of the more serious wounded were also disinfected.  After lavage, most of the poisoned soldiers are now out of danger, and all physical indicators have returned to normal, but" "Dean Shi, just say it, we are mentally prepared." Long Shaogang was impatient and urged him.  .  "It's just those seriously injured people, the situation is not optimistic." Steve sighed heavily: "The concentration of poison gas bombs dropped by the Japanese army this time was very high. The poison blended into the blood, causing systemic absorption and poisoning. Our antidote did not have much effect, at least there was some  More than a hundred officers and soldiers cannot be treated." Steve adjusted his mood slightly and continued: "Some soldiers who were too poisoned could not bear the tremendous pain of their bodies and actually asked our doctors and nurses for help They asked us to shoot them to death, and then  Or inject poison that will see blood and seal the throat in order to seek relief." Steve couldn't hold back his tears after all, and the crystal liquid streaked across his cheeks.  Everyone¡¯s expressions became gloomy, and for a moment they didn¡¯t know what to say¡ªthe officers and soldiers of the new Second Army wanted to die with dignity even if they died.  "Military seat, this is all my fault. I was not fully prepared." Yin Dizhong stood up. The huge casualties made him angry, painful, aggrieved and self-blame. He turned to Wu Ming with red eyes and said, "Military seat,  You punish me. I have no face to see my soldiers They trusted me so much and put their lives in my hands, but I-" Yin Dizhong cried, heartbreakingly.  It is said that men do not shed tears lightly, just because they are not sad.  Seeing the tears welling up in Yin's body, many people secretly wiped away their tears.  "Bullshit, the Japs' planes are coming at any time. Do you think you can prevent them if you want to? The Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Lanfeng, the Battle of Wuhan, and even the great victory of the Battle of Wanjialing. In which case did the Japs not use poison gas?"Did the army defend it?  " Wu Ming pointed at Yin Dizhong and cursed: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is the eternal truth. We don't have airplanes or gas bombs, so we can only passively accept it. Will crying work?  The little devils will not sympathize with us, they will only use more gas bombs to deal with us." "If you, Yin Dizhong, are a real man, pack up your troops and sharpen your bayonets for me.  If you meet the Japs next time, I want you to return your suffering to the Japs tenfold and a hundred times. These are the soldiers of our New Second Army." Yin Dizhong was stunned for a moment. Wu Ming stared and shouted sternly: "  Did you hear that?  " "Yes" Yin Dizhong quickly stood at attention. General Yiyu looked at Yin Dizhong sympathetically. In fact, if they were in Yin Dizhong's position, they would have made the same mistake, because no one would have thought that the little Japanese would directly ignore the casualties of one of his regiment officers and soldiers.  The gas bomb was released. Thinking about the death of the soldiers, everyone was very sad, and the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely low for a while. "Pa-" Wu Ming slammed the table, looked around and cursed: "Look at you.  This look doesn't look like the soldiers of our New Second Army, with their heads drooped, really like chickens with plague.  Did just a little setback knock you down?  No matter how you say it, we won this battle. I just received a call that the New Second Division has captured the lost position, but we have gained almost a regiment of little devils in vain." "The military seat is right." Long Shao  Gang echoed: "The only pity is that we didn't find the Japanese army flag I guess it was taken out by the Japanese army who broke out, or the little devil guarding the flag burned the flag first when he saw something bad happened." Wu Ming nodded.  : "We destroyed a Japanese regiment and suffered only two thousand casualties. Most of them can be rescued. So this is a great victory no matter what. No one needs to be discouraged. The little Japanese are powerful, but the terrain we are in is not conducive to  As long as we think more carefully about their performance, the little devil will definitely not get good results." When the generals heard this, their spirits were lifted, and their original negative emotions were swept away. In an instant, they were discussing the performance of each department. Wu Ming saw it in his eyes,  He nodded slightly, but his heart ached at the elusive fighter planes of the Japs and the huge threat of gas bombs.
