Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Let me out, cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough......"

The sound of the bandits coughing and begging for mercy could be heard continuously in the room. After just a few minutes, the tear gas had choked several bandits so much that their voices became extremely weak.

Liu Changshun listened to the sounds coming from inside and finally understood the power of the tear gas. If he was hit by the tear gas, his fate would probably not be much better!

For attacking blockhouses, tear gas is undoubtedly the best weapon. After all, other troops do not have as accurate shooting skills as the special operations regiment.

At this time, Minister Zhang was still immersed in the power of tear gas. He did not expect that this thing would have such a powerful power in a confined space.

After a few more minutes, the bandits inside were completely silent.

"Chief, these bandits are not dead yet?!" the political commissar looked at the chief and said.

"Open the door and take a look." the leader ordered.

"Okay." The political commissar was about to go forward to open the door, but the leader asked him to cover his nose with a cloth to avoid choking.

Soon, the door opened, and there was sparse smoke floating in the air.

Liu Changshun walked in first, and a pungent smell instantly hit his nose, making his throat feel uncomfortable and even his eyes felt a little uncomfortable.

"Cough cough..." Liu Changshun couldn't help but retreat. The pungent smell was indeed a little hard to accept. Although he could hold on for a long time, there was no need to stay that long.

"Liu Changshun, can't you bear it either?!" The chief couldn't help but ask when he saw Liu Changshun's look. In his opinion, Liu Changshun was the battalion commander of the special operations regiment, and his combat effectiveness and endurance were both very strong. He didn't expect that the other party would retreat not long after he entered the door.

"Commander, Political Commissar, it's best not to go in now. The smell inside is still very pungent. I feel that the power of this thing is probably comparable to the Japanese's poison gas bombs." Liu Changshun reminded quickly.

"Well, it should not be comparable to poison gas bombs." The political commissar said that the Japanese poison gas bombs are relatively contagious, but the tear gas bombs are not.

Moreover, tear gas can only exert its greatest power in a confined space. It will not be so effective in the wild.

Therefore, it is still very effective when attacking Japanese blockhouses or checkpoints.

"Your commander really gave me a big surprise. By the way, did you bring the drawings of the tear gas?" The leader looked at Liu Changshun and asked.

He has not yet received the manufacturing drawings of the tear gas. It is estimated that Liu Changshun forgot about it for the time being, or he wants to wait until the power of the tear gas is tested before giving him the drawings.

"I've brought it." Liu Changshun nodded repeatedly and immediately took out a manufacturing drawing from his pocket and handed it to the leader. He carried this drawing with him and checked it many times a day for fear of losing it.

"Chief..." Minister Zhang looked at the drawings eagerly.

"Here you go." Seeing Minister Zhang's eyes, the leader had no choice but to hand the drawing to Minister Zhang.

"Thank you, Chief." After Minister Zhang took the blueprint, he immediately started to check it.

"You still have a tear gas bomb, right? Give it to Lao Zhang so he can use it as a reference when the time comes." The chief instructed the political commissar.

"Old Zhang, this thing is given to you for reference. Don't use it just to test its power." The political commissar also took out a tear gas bomb and handed it to Minister Zhang.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool." After Minister Zhang took the tear gas, the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to the back of his ears, and he looked at the tear gas as if he was looking at his wife.

The smoke in the confinement room had dissipated over time, and Liu Changshun and the leaders then went in to check.

The three bandits fell to the ground, breathing out more than breathing in. They were completely unconscious, with traces of tears on their faces.

Liu Changshun walked forward, squatted, and pulled open the eyelids of one of the bandits, only to see that the other person's eyes were full of bloodshot, looking extremely terrifying.

"These bandits were choked enough by the tear gas. If there was another one, they would probably be choked to death," said Liu Changshun.

The chief frowned. Although the smoke had dissipated, there was still a pungent smell in the air. If he was in the room and was hit by tear gas, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"You stay and come in every ten minutes to see when the smell dissipates. Then notify me." The leader ordered a soldier to stay. He was useful.

"Yes!" The soldier nodded.

Soon, the leader and his men walked out of the confinement room.

"Chief, since the things have been delivered, I will go back first." Liu Changshun said. He came here just to deliver tear gas and blueprints. Now that the things have been delivered, there is no need for him to stay.

"Well, be careful on the road." The leader nodded.

"Yes!" Liu Changshun turned and left. He had to go back to the base.

"This kid Li Jin really gave me a big surprise this time." The leader couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, the weapons this guy made before were very good. Now he has made such a powerful weapon, which just makes up for the lack of firepower when we attack the Japanese blockhouse.

I really don't know what's wrong with this kid's brain, how can he think of everything and create it. "The political commissar also nodded and said, he also admired Li Jin.

Since the arrival of Li Jin, the firepower of their troops has increased significantly.

"Some people are born strong, and Li Jin is one of them. In the future, when we attack the Japanese blockhouses, we can reduce a lot of casualties." The leader smiled and said.

In the past, when the troops attacked the Japanese blockhouses, they had to suffer heavy casualties before they could take them down. Now it is different. With tear gas, we can just throw it into the blockhouse, and the Japanese inside will either be choked to death or have to run away.

But he estimated that the Japanese would most likely choose to run out and die. After all, this pungent smell was really unbearable, as could be seen from the state of these bandits.

"Well, Li Jin has made another great contribution." The political commissar nodded.

"Chief, Political Commissar, I will go back if there is nothing else. I have to make the tear gas as soon as possible." Minister Zhang spoke at this time. He was already impatient to make the tear gas.

"Go, go." The chief waved his hand. He could understand Minister Zhang's feelings. After all, it was normal to want to make such a useful weapon as soon as possible.

"Yes, yes, Chief, can you go and capture some more bandits? When we make the tear gas, we'll need someone to test it. We can't just let our own people do it." Minister Zhang stopped, turned around and made a request.

He was not sure whether the tear gas he made could reach this power, so he still needed to use people to experiment. "Don't worry about this, just make it. These bandits are not dead yet, send them to the hospital for treatment, and then continue to use them for experiments." The leader said with a smile.

These bandits were not good people to begin with, so let them die.

"Okay." Minister Zhang then left happily.

The leader also ordered the soldiers to send the three bandits to the hospital for treatment and not let them die.

Then he and the political commissar walked towards the meeting room. As they walked, they talked about the weapons that Li Jin had made in the past, such as grenades and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, which were all good things.

Especially the semi-automatic rifle, except for its short effective range, it is still very powerful. Moreover, this effective range is enough for their ordinary troops.

"Commander, come to think of it, why did you just ask the soldiers to pay attention to the smell of tear gas dissipating?!" The political commissar remembered this.

"Let me see how long the smell lasts. If it doesn't last long, then we don't need to worry about it. If it lasts long, then we probably need to deal with it, lest the enemy find out that we have this powerful weapon for attacking blockhouses.
If the Japanese equip all the Japanese soldiers in the blockhouse with gas masks, then the tear gas will be useless." The leader began to explain.

He just didn't want the Japanese to realize that they had such a powerful weapon.

"So that's how it is." The political commissar suddenly realized. No wonder the commander asked the soldiers to pay attention to the dissipation of any smell.

“Also, the shells of the tear gas bombs we used must be taken away as well. Don’t let the Japanese get them. If they use what they get to make a new one, we’ll be in trouble.” The chief continued. Although he thought it was impossible for the Japanese to replicate the tear gas bomb with just a shell, what if?

Therefore, we have to be careful, even if it is just a chance, we cannot let the Japanese have this opportunity.

"That's what we should do." The political commissar also nodded in agreement. Sometimes, one has to admire the Japanese's brains. They are quite powerful.

"It's a pity that the power of the tear gas is not as great in the open air. Otherwise, it would be a powerful weapon." The leader felt a little sorry about this.

In open air, the power of tear gas is weakened by at least 70% to 80%. After all, the enemy is not stupid enough to stand there and be smoked.

"In fact, it is very good to be able to use it in attacking blockhouse checkpoints. It can reduce a lot of casualties." The political commissar said. He was not so greedy and felt that this was enough.

"Yeah." The leader nodded.

.........

On the other side, Liu Changshun had already led the soldiers out of the village.

"Battalion Commander, are we going back to the base so soon?! Is this mission so easy?!" a soldier said.

"What else could I do? I just came here to deliver something. Now that the things have been delivered, you don't want to go back and you want to stay and have a meal." Liu Changshun responded.

"It's not impossible." The soldier said happily.

"What a shitty meal! We have to go back and train the soldiers. If you delay important things, I will beat you to death." Liu Changshun said angrily.

"Hurry up and send a telegram to the regiment commander, telling him that our mission has been completed and now we need to return to the base." Liu Changshun changed the subject and gave orders.

"Yes!" The soldier quickly sent a telegram to Li Jin.

.........

As for Li Jin, they came to a forest to rest. It was only half a day's journey away from Fucheng. The journey was relatively peaceful and no accidents happened.

They were eating canned meat and taking a short break.

"Captain, do you think the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will agree to cooperate with us? I feel it's a bit uncertain." Lu Changgong dug into the canned meat and ate.

It seems that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army does not dare to take part in this big battle.

"Let's leave it to fate. I'm not too sure. I can't threaten him again. This kind of thing can only happen once and not twice. After all, he is the commander of the theater. If I threaten him several times, there is no guarantee that he won't trip us up." Li Jin said. In fact, he didn't have much hope for this matter.

After all, when the Eighth Route Army was conducting the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not participate in the cooperation. If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had participated at that time, the results of the battle would definitely have been greatly expanded.

We can't blame Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang for bullying Commander Yan in front of Chu Yunfei. After all, anyone would be angry. It would have been possible to inflict greater damage on the Japanese, but the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army refused to cooperate, resulting in the loss of such a good opportunity.

"Tsk, that's true." Lu Changgong nodded. If the Shanxi Suiyuan Army did not cooperate, they could no longer threaten them.

"I will explain the pros and cons to Commander Yan at that time. If he still disagrees, then there will be nothing more to say and there will be no need for cooperation in the future." Li Jin said.

"It's better not to cooperate. I always feel uncomfortable cooperating with them." Lu Changgong also agreed. Like the regiment commander, he still didn't like this kind of troops that were not active enough in fighting the Japanese.

"Commander, Liu Changshun sent a telegram saying that they have completed the mission and delivered the tear gas to the leader, and are now heading towards the base." A telegraph operator came to report.

"Well, send them a telegram and ask them to come and pick us up." Li Jin nodded and said that he only brought Lu Changgong and twenty soldiers with him this time. For safety reasons, he should let Liu Changshun come to pick us up as well.

Li Jin took out a pen and paper, wrote down the meeting place, and asked the telegraph operator to send it to Liu Changshun.

"Captain, what is tear gas? Why haven't I heard of it?!" Lu Changgong asked after seeing that Li Jin had finished his work.

"It's just a weapon..." Li Jin briefly explained the effect and lethality of tear gas.

"Damn, this sounds very powerful, but can it only be used in a confined space?!" Lu Changgong asked in shock.

"Well, it can only exert its greatest power when the range is not large. In an open-air environment, the power will be much reduced. However, it is not impossible to use it when two armies are facing each other. At least it can temporarily disrupt the enemy's formation." Li Jin said immediately.

The reason why the tear gas's power is weakened in open air environments is that the enemy will leave the location of the tear gas, thus preventing the tear gas from exerting its maximum power.

However, the enemy's original position will be temporarily disrupted and their deployment will be temporarily disrupted. Therefore, it does not mean that tear gas is completely useless in the open air.

"That's pretty good." Lu Changgong nodded, "But don't let the Japanese get this thing. If they make it, we'll be in trouble."

"It's okay. Don't forget, we have gas masks and can take precautions." Li Jin responded calmly.
