Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 289 Chapter 288, The Experience of the First Batch of Users
Boom, boom, boom... The shells of the Type 70 infantry gun were only mm, but the explosion effect was really good. Especially for the masonry bunkers, it had great destructive power.

With each explosion, the bricks and stones on one side of the Japanese artillery tower were blown off layer by layer, eventually forming a huge gap. Then, several bunkers outside the stronghold were also destroyed by the shells of the Type 92 infantry gun, leaving the Japanese without solid fortifications!
At this moment, the voice of Captain Guo sounded from the position of the 772nd Regiment: "Grenade launcher team, infantry artillery platoon, load the smoke bombs, assault team, prepare to charge! Grenade launcher team, after firing the smoke bombs, follow the assault team! Heavy machine guns suppress the firepower of the artillery tower, light machine gun team, suppress the entrance of the stronghold and cover the attack!"

After Captain Guo gave the order, a messenger naturally passed it down, but he was looking at the Japanese's ruined artillery tower with a telescope.

Soon, the order reached the artillery and grenadiers, so they took the red shells from the ammunition boxes and loaded them into the gun barrels.

Boom, boom, boom... A salvo of fire, two special Type 72 infantry artillery shells and grenade launcher grenades whizzed into the Nanguan stronghold and exploded with a loud bang.

The shells exploded, but they were not as lethal as before, and the sound was much quieter. However, despite the quiet sound, the smoke was huge. The black and yellow smoke quickly spread throughout the stronghold under the effect of the shock wave. There was no other way. There was too much ammunition this time. After all, the 772nd Regiment was a large regiment with the 3th Company of the 12rd Battalion, and each platoon had two grenade launcher groups.

"Captain, this smoke bomb produces a lot of smoke, but I don't know how effective it is?" Looking at the Nanguan stronghold filled with smoke, the deputy commander next to him spoke.

"You ask me? I don't know either! It is said that this is a smoke bomb configured by the arsenal ammunition factory based on information provided by some comrades. It is said that it is mixed with some chili powder, some ground up waste tires, and some other things. The specific effect will depend on the actual combat results." Captain Guo didn't know much, so he could only say this.

Well, the comrades that Captain Guo mentioned are Comrade Li Yuexuan. In Comrade Li Yuexuan's new book, he described how to make incendiary bombs and smoke bombs using items such as chili powder and tires. In fact, he focused on white phosphorus bombs, after all, this thing is the most vicious and most suitable for the devils.

However, the arsenal cannot say that it does not have white phosphorus, but it is simply not enough to make a batch of ammunition, and the technology is not easy to control. But, but, but, but... the arsenal has a lot of chili peppers! There are so many comrades from the south, who doesn't like to eat a few bites of chili peppers? There are quite a few in the logistics department.

So, without Li Yuexuan's knowledge, Minister Zhang had people take out hundreds of pounds of dried chili peppers from the logistics warehouse and grind them into powder, and specially made a batch of smoke bombs filled with chili powder and a small amount of tire powder. Well, the tires were taken from the damaged Japanese trucks, and they were just sitting there, so they were used for testing.

Therefore, the Japanese in Nanguan were lucky enough to become the first batch of users of this new type of smoke bomb. As for the user experience?
"Baga... what's that smell? Cough cough cough..." The thick smoke was blown into the bunker where the Japanese were, and then the Japanese felt pain in their eyes and throats, and their noses were running and they kept coughing. Looking around, they saw the same situation everywhere, which made the Japanese panic.

"Gas mask, put on gas mask... cough cough cough..." Some Japanese soldiers resisted the discomfort and quickly shouted to their comrades around to put on gas masks. However, as a security force, the Japanese soldiers could not equip every soldier with a gas mask, so many Japanese soldiers did not have that thing! In fact, it was not the Japanese headquarters' fault for not paying attention to the safety of these security soldiers, because now the field regiments such as the Sakata Regiment did not have many gas masks at this time.

The reason? Isn't it because only the Japanese have poison gas bombs, and China doesn't? Therefore, the Japanese can release poison gas at will, and they don't worry about being attacked by the same poison gas. If there is no possibility of being attacked by poison gas, why do the army idiots still equip gas masks? The military expenditure is better used to build ships for the navy.

Therefore, the Japanese soldiers in the Nanguan stronghold were in trouble! Without gas masks, they could only endure the pungent smell, the burning pain in their eyes, the burning feeling in their lungs, the dryness in their throats, and the discomfort caused by the enlarged tonsils due to stimulation... This was not the key point. The key point was that the Japanese soldiers did not know that these were pepper bombs and thought they were poison gas bombs.

Therefore, while the devils were enduring the intense physical stimulation, they also had to face the psychological pressure brought by death!
The unknown was terrifying. Some of the new recruits were finally crushed by the double stimulation. They decisively threw away their weapons, held their heads and left the tower, the house, and ran around in the yard of the stronghold. Some unlucky ones even jumped down from the huge gap in the tower, braving the suppressing firepower network, and would rather die.

In the distance, on the mountain, seeing the abnormal Japanese soldiers, Captain Guo and his men who were watching the battle were somewhat silent. What had provoked these Japanese soldiers? Smoke bombs? Why was the user experience so good?
Of course, the silence only lasted half a second, and Captain Guo immediately ordered: "Commando, go! Keep the machine guns covering!"

"Comrades, charge..." Orders are orders. After receiving the order, the soldiers of the commando team in the front rushed towards the Japanese stronghold under the cover of their own firepower.

Unlike the intense firepower blocking during the attack on Nanguan last month, this time the assault went very smoothly and was not blocked by much firepower. Moreover, even if they heard the Japs in front of them firing, they did not hear the whistling sound of bullets flying past their ears. This was not like what the Japs should be like!
At this time, they also entered the area covered by smoke, and also slightly experienced the feeling of the devil. Although the smoke had been dispersed by the mountain breeze, the air was still filled with the pungent smell of peppers. As they attacked deeper, snot could not help but flow out, spreading on the chin, shining brightly...

"Ahem, don't show mercy when you see the devils, kill them!" With the shouts of the commando leader, the commandos rushed into the devil's stronghold and shot the devils one by one. The devils didn't want to be shot like this, but with red and swollen eyes, runny noses, and blurred vision, they didn't have much resistance at all...

"Moshi Moshi... cough cough... I'm at the Nanguan stronghold... cough cough... I was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, who used poison gas... reinforcements, I need reinforcements..."
