Chapter 949: Do they dare to use poison gas bombs against the British?
"You came from Kyoto, which means he was able to find you. What he wanted to do must be very serious, so you ran away. I think that the existence that could make you all run away must be very serious. So, he will definitely use this opportunity to settle the grudge between us."
Okamura Neiji nodded; "That's a possibility."
"Even if you can't win, you'll definitely go crazy once you hear bad news. We can fight anyone in this world, but we can never fight a madman. Think about it, what kind of excitement will drive your army crazy?"
broken.
Okamura Neiji thought of something, his heart skipped a beat and his eyes fell on Nanzō Yunko and Yamadajima.
"It's very likely." Nanzō Yunko took a deep breath and she also thought of something.
Yamadajima breathed a sigh of relief, "We made the right move this time."
"It seems that you already know the answer." Rommel glanced at the three of them. Seeing that they were nervous and frightened and then relaxed, he was a little confused.
These people are all senior generals of the Japanese army. What exactly did they encounter to make them feel this way?
"But I don't understand what this combination of nervous fear and relaxed expression on your face really means."
Nanzō Yunko thought for a moment and said, "It's like the enemy bombing your Capitol."
Rommel understood. He smiled and said, "It seems I really need to ask him to come over."
"Do we really have to do this?" Chao Xiang couldn't get rid of it, so she could only accept her fate and follow Zhou Weiguo all the way to the end.
"In the past, I wasn't sure if I needed to do this, but now I think I should. This isn't just a matter of revenge, but also about helping you, Junjun South Asia, move faster."
"It's not easy for you to get so far involved and come up with such a reason."
"No, this time I'm not looking for any excuses. I'm really doing this for you, or rather, to boost your morale."
Chaoxiang just looked at Zhou Weiguo quietly, waiting to see how this man would continue to make up stories.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Zhou Weiguo turned to the butler and said, "Do you have a map of the current battle area over there? Bring it over."
The butler glanced at Chaoxiang. He had no say in the matter. When he saw Chaoxiang nod, he immediately went to the map room, took the map from there and spread it on the table.
Zhou Weiguo motioned him over and pointed at the map. "The Anglo-French Allied defense line consists of three smaller lines within the first line, designed to defend based on the terrain. Because they're located between the Qiulin and the plains, these lines aren't a concern. However, there will be trouble with the second line. If you don't advance in unison, that trapezoidal mouth, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, will surround you. If one side advances too quickly, the other will be surrounded. And the most feared thing in battle is delay. The longer you delay, the more they can draw in troops from Central Asia or even West Asia. Father-in-law, what are your chances of winning this battle?"
"The chances of victory aren't great. Takeuchi Hiroshi's blitzkrieg can quickly break the first line of defense, but he'll need to wait for the Imperial Guards Division on the left and the 18th Division on the right to build the second line, so he can't advance quickly. Wilson will quickly make adjustments and even lure the enemy deeper. Their air power will quickly deplete your transportation routes. This will be a fierce battle, and you'll end up in a standoff. I don't believe you'll actually end up in a stalemate. There's no need to continue this battle."
At this point, Zhou Weiguo put the map away. "We need a strong stimulus to motivate your soldiers to charge forward with hatred, and the best way is to blow this place up. Of course, I know what you're worried about, so let's wait and see if Terauchi Juichi can get through."
Waiting is better than attacking those places, Chaoxiang decided to wait a while.
However, this wait not only slowed down the troops' advance, but also the attacking force was intercepted by the enemy. The battle between the two sides seemed to be turning into a standoff.
"The left flank is about to turn into a standoff." General Fang Shengli pointed in the direction of the 18th Division at the Independent Brigade headquarters. "The British and French allies seem to have blocked their advance. The 18th Division's attack, supported by tanks and artillery, has been defeated."
"The right flank is also in danger. Although the Imperial Guards Division is still advancing, their advance is slow due to their numbers." Sano Tadayoshi pointed at the map. "If they can't advance after a standoff, the morale of the soldiers will be affected. If the morale of the troops drops, the attack will fail."
At this point, Sano Tadayoshi pointed to the rear of the Allied forces. "Xiao Ya, should we send Takeshita Shun and his men over to assist? We can attack their transport vehicles and blow up their bridges, providing flank support. Otherwise, they won't be able to attack us, and they might turn their attention to us. After all, the situation back home hasn't stabilized yet, especially in the Ninth and Second War Zones, where the Japanese 1st and 11th Armies are facing the most intense attacks."
"No hurry." Xiao Ya pointed at the bridge behind the British army. "If we blow this up, although it can help the Japanese army to pass through in the short term, it will cause trouble for them in pursuit. The bridge and road cannot be repaired immediately, which will also delay them. We will not do such a thing as killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of our own."
"Then what should we do? We can't just watch their situation continue to be in a stalemate. If the stalemate continues, we will be in trouble." Shen Xin has been in the command center for so long that he has understood some things. In a word, if they are not doing well, then Shancheng will be doing well. If they are doing well, Shancheng will not be doing well.
Xiao Ya smiled faintly and stood up, pointing at the map. "The Japanese army is crazy, and so is Terauchi Juichi. If they really can't get through, they will use poison gas bombs."
"How dare they use such weapons? Aren't they worried about retaliation from the British army? After all, the British army is capable of producing poison gas bombs." Sano Tadayoshi thought this was impossible.
Unless the headquarters or Terauchi Hisaichi went crazy, they would not make such a decision to use poison gas bombs on the front line. This means that the battle on the South Asian defense line will be transformed from a battle using conventional weapons to a battle using chemical weapons. By then, poison gas bombs will be flying all over the sky, and not to mention living people, even animals will be killed.
