Chapter 50 Small-scale conflict

"Wo! Boom..."

After the huge explosion, the tall palm trees were blown up, the woody soil flew everywhere, and the head was covered with the face from the air. More shells flew over, and the strong roar of the shells overwhelmed everything, followed by a deafening loud noise, and the violent shells kept making explosions.

After hearing the sound of "swob" in the air in the trench, the soldiers in the trench hurriedly stuck to the trench and buried their heads in it. Rows of shells were exploding, the ground was trembling, and the sky was dusty. The trenches were filled with the smell of choking gunpowder and smoke.

"Gomb bomb! The division is going to use poison gas bombs! ... put on your gas mask! Everyone should wear gas masks!"

In the trench piled out of sandbags, a sergeant or officer shouted at the soldiers not far away. As soon as the soldiers in the trench heard that they were going to use gas bombs, they immediately ignored the shells were still falling. They hid in the trenches like a swaying boat on the sea and hurriedly took them out of the iron barrel with the rear. The gas mask, wearing it on his face, leaving only a few people on the position to monitor the Turkish army that may attack, while others are easily holding rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns sitting in the trenches waiting for the poison gas attack.

As the first army in the world to use gas bombs in actual combat, gas bombs are the most widely used "unconventional weapons" in the armory of the Guards. In the past decade, after the efforts of dozens of chemists, the harmless tear gas to the human body, to the fast-acting effect of vinyl chloride and arsenic to mustard gas. It can be said that as far as the whole world is concerned, China has the most complete varieties of poison gas in the world.

During the Sino-Japanese conflict, the result of the heavy use of poison gas is that on the one hand, the poison gas has become a new weapon developed by various [***] teams. Second, various anti-virus facilities have been continuously developed, but this cannot change the [***] team's richest experience in using poison gas and protection in the world. In fact, in the same way, the army has also accumulated a complete process of using poison gas.

Before firing gas shells, the forward troops wear gas masks, which is one of the processes to avoid possible additional damage.

"These bastards! If you fight a war, you can see the knife and gun. When you fight a war, you can use poison gas bullets! That's true!"

In the trench, the soldiers squeezed into the low bunker and felt very uncomfortable. They bent down and squatted in the bunker with rifles in their arms, constantly cursing the artillerymen who fired gas bombs.

Since they landed, the artillery has been used to using gas bombs. Perhaps this has something to do with the special climate in the Middle East. The climate here is dry. Most of the time, there is either no wind or breeze on the battlefield. It can be said that it is the most suitable battlefield environment for the use of gas bombs, and most of the Ottoman Turkish troops do not have gas masks. Moreover, the toxic gas of the Turks as a counterattack is mainly chlorine and lumina. In order to reduce the casualty rate, the commanders are naturally willing to use poison gas bombs.

"Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo"

The sound of large-caliber chemical shells, whether it is breaking through the air or exploding, is very different from ordinary shells. With the roar of cannonballs like the low roar of a locomotive, a few very slight explosions came from afar, and then dozens of light yellow smoke slowly rose in the desert, and then seemed to slowly spread around. It's open.

"War is like this. Everyone can do anything to win. What's more, if the Ottomans were more civilized, we wouldn't have come all the way here to teach these barbarians... Damn it, I'm suffocated!"

The person who squeezed around Shao Zhenhua just wanted to make fun of two enemies. As soon as he said more, he immediately felt that there was not enough oxygen, and he felt panicked.

Most areas of Dassa have a tropical desert climate. Many parts of China in January still endure the severe cold of winter. Cotton-padded clothes and leather jackets are the choice of most Chinese people in this cold winter. However, in the desert of Dassa, the weather here is hot and breathless. In this hot environment that can make people suffocate. In the middle, wearing a gas mask, you will naturally feel more stuffy. Many people are crowded in the trenches, and people will sweat in a short time. Of course, the sense of suffocation will become stronger and stronger.

That's why they don't like gas bombs. They would rather rush to the Turks with a bayonet and a rifle and fight hand-to-hand with one shot than wear a gas mask to endure the suffocation that can suffocate people.

It is hard to breathe the air through the gas mask made of rubber. When the air is inhaled through the living charcoal, it only makes you feel that your heart is pounding, your head is dizzy, and you will suffocate. At this time, it is so difficult to take a breath of air. How can you talk?

"Damn it, I'm going to suffocate..."

So it has been five days since the troops landed in Dassa. As China's expeditionary force participating in the World War, the troops naturally could not be too bad, so the First Army of the Guards Army was the first to go to the battlefield as the vanguard of the Expeditionary Force. Whether the legion or the military level is in the Guards Army, it is only a temporary establishment in the Guards Army. The largest formation of the army is a division. A army is usually composed of three infantry divisions and one artillery division. As for the formation of the army, it is very flexible. It can be composed of armies or divisions. Unexpectedly, although his division was only a new force, he was still recruited into the expeditionary force.

However, what makes him feel at ease is that since he landed in Dassa, he does not seem to have encountered any strong enemies. To put it, the Turks have only a total of only a thousand troops in Dassa, and even the attack of small Arab countries such as the Kingdom of Nezzhi can't be stopped, let alone the powerful guards.

The easy landing without any obstruction further verifies this point. In the past five days, except for Turkey's small-scale counterattack, there seems to be no resistance.

But today's troops encountered unprecedented resistance when marching. In this desert town, they can easily take it down without any resistance as in the past. However, the Turks guarding the town not only did not retreat, but also used the roadway to fight with the sixth battalion. If it hadn't been for the second and third companies shooting at the enemy with all kinds of weapons while covering the retreat, maybe the company in the first small town would have been thrown into this desert where birds don't shit.

After the attack was blocked, the sixth battalion then excavated fortifications on the spot and built the field fortifications in a very short time. More than ten minutes later, after contacting the division headquarters, a six battalion was caught off guard and immediately called for a burst of artillery fire, regardless of whether it guided the shelling, the town inside and outside. It was blown up, but the attack was still blocked.

Two attacks were blocked, and the battalion commander lost face, so he called for a "special bomb" and prepared to launch a counterattack after the special bomb attack, and then seize the town.

"The effect of vinyl chloride and arsenic is half an hour..."

Looking at the razed town with a telescope, Wu Shijun's heart was regarded as the time when the gas bomb worked. From time to time, he looked at the watch and coiled the attack time.

Taking off the gas mask, Wang Ze took a deep breath, and then the officers' whistle rang.

"Puncture the bayonet... Come with me!"

Before Wang Ze took a few mouthfuls of fresh air, he heard the company commander shouting next to him, and the other friendly troops in the trenches had shouted and rushed out. Wang Ze hurriedly stood up, put on the gas mask again, put a bayonet on the rifle, and almost unconsciously followed the captain towards the town that had been razed and shrouded in poison gas for half an hour. Everyone shouted the slogans during the bayonet training in the training camp.

"Let's go - kill!"

Charge makes people's blood boil. For soldiers, charge is the most smooth release after the suppression of life and death. With the rifle flat, the bayonet at the head of the gun reflected the sunlight. Wang Ze followed the platoon leader as fast as he could and rushed to the town of the enemy's defense. He felt that he had reached the fastest speed, but there were still people around him who passed him from time to time and rushed forward. When he charged, he only felt that his lungs seemed to be burning. Even if he breathes desperately, the air is still not enough.

At this time, the bullets in the air flew overhead, and from time to time, people running around staggered down. Obviously, the poison gas bomb did not take everyone's life, and the effect of vinyl chloride and arsenic chloride would not play so quickly, but the resistance was very weak. Finally, a group of wolf-like soldiers rushed in and was still shrouded. A small town in poison gas.

Almost at the moment of rushing into the town, the soldiers rushed into the defenders' positions with bayonet rifles with red eyes and stabbed them with bayonets. The soldiers with submachine guns and light machine guns immediately seized the highest point and shot at groups of Turks. For a while, the battlefield was full of wailing Turkish people who were stabbed into the body by bayonets. Not only wailing but also crying, finally someone took the lead in escaping.

Wang Ze, who met a Turkish soldier head-on, almost instinctively blocked the man's rifle, and then stabbed the bayonet into the man's chest with all his strength. The man let out a desperate howl. The rifle was released from his hand, and his hands waved feebly in the air. The khaki uniform on his chest appeared black. The black and shiny ball, the black ball quickly became large, and the red blood oozed out of Kaqiburi.

This is the enemy's blood!

Like him, they are all red. Wang Ze, who once had some poets surnamed him, did not have a trace of pity. The bayonet poked into the enemy's body as if it was stuck in the ribs. He pulled it back hard and dragged the enemy over without pulling it out. While turning the gun body hard, Wang Ze raised his left foot in military boots, stepped on the enemy's body fiercely, and then pulled out the bayonet that poked into his body.

At this time, all the comrades-in-arms around Wang Ze rushed up, and he fell behind. Wang Ze walked to the Turk who was stabbed by him and squatted down with a gun curiously, wanting to see what the first enemy he killed looked like.

The enemies of the Allies have often talked about them since Wang Ze was forced to join the army, imagining their appearance. Even before the battle just now, they were so far away from themselves, and now the mysterious and invisible enemy is lying at his feet.

This is a typical Turkish, lying on the ground with turbid eyes open and looking blankly at the sky. The muscles on his face are very ferocious because of extreme pain. His appearance is very similar to the Arabs seen in the landing town, which is different from white people. Compared with German professors in universities, these people's skin color is dark. With the same big nose, this person has a short beard on his lips, which is very thick and black. Blood foam is flowing out of the mouth and nostrils.

"I killed someone! Oh my God! I've become a murderer!"

Looking at this strange face, Wang Ze suddenly felt an endless sadness in his heart. He felt that he was a murderer. The rifle slipped from his hand and his hands covered his face and cried feebly. Although when he was a teenager, like many teenagers, he looked forward to one day he could kill the enemy on the battlefield and serve the country.

But now a living man was stabbed to death by him. His body was at his feet, but Wang Ze's heart was full of a strong sense of crime. Maybe there are wives and children in this family, and some parents are looking forward to him coming home, but now he is dead in his hands, even leaving no surname. Will his family know the sad news?

He suddenly had a feeling of deep disgust for himself.

As a soldier, he knew that maybe he should not consider these at all, but he couldn't let himself be open-think. After all, he took a life.

Finally, Wang Ze looked up. He looked around and saw that the brothers were cleaning the battlefield, and several brothers were playing with the Turkish soldiers there not far away.

"You must be hungry. Come and eat meat! Eat meat..."

The speaker is Li Enquan, who is holding a box of canned meat in his hand.

The field food of the Guards is only canned pork, which is obviously to play with these Turks. Turks are Muslims. As we all know, Muslims do not eat pork, but Li Enze holds canned meat there, seducing, no, it should be forcing them.

"Li Enquan, if they don't eat, they will beat them to eat!"

A sergeant said with a cigarette and a smile.

"Don't let them think that we abuse prisoners of war!"

"These people..."

With the idea that more is better than less, Wang Ze just shook his head and walked to the other side. He saw Xu Fulin standing by a collapsed earthen house. At this time, he and other brothers had taken off their gas masks. Obviously, there was no threat of poison gas. Standing there motionless, Wang Ze was curious. I walked over.

When he was walking, he felt that it was very difficult for him to breathe with a heavy gas mask on his face. Wang Ze pulled the gas mask off his face and took off the gas mask. While breathing heavily, the air he inhaled was mixed with a lot of gunpowder, the smell of bitter apricot that did not completely drift away, the strong smell of blood, the pungent smell of wood burning, and the unpleasant smell of burning meat.

What does this taste like?

He took another deep breath of the mixed air puzzledly, and suddenly he figured out that the smell of burnt meat came from the smell of the burnt human flesh.

Just when he felt nauseous in his heart, he walked to the collapsed earthen house of Xu Fulin Station, and then followed his sight. The feeling of vomiting under the pressure could no longer stand it. He only felt that his legs were soft, and he lay on the ground and vomited. When he spit out lunch, he raised his head again. Look at more than a dozen bodies in the earthen house, several of whom are children and even babies.

Obviously, these Arabs were not killed by them. They have been dead for a long time, and their bodies have been a little smelly, which makes Wang Ze feel more or less comfortable. If these people died in the previous shelling, I'm afraid that the sense of guilt in his heart will only be stronger.

"Is this a war?"

Looking at those corpses, Wang Ze thought so in his heart.

"This is war!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Wang Ze looked back. I don't know when an officer in a Chinese military uniform with an Arabic turban on his head appeared beside him. Fortunately, he was Chinese.

"In the past two years, the Kingdom of Neji has been attacking Dassa, so for those Turks, Bedouin towns like this are supporters of Neji. Therefore, the Turks will massacre the tribes that support Neji, the residents will be slaughtered, the women will be annihilogged, and the houses will be set on fire, whether they are alive or All the dead were thrown into the fire. I have heard from many tribes here that the cruel habit of the Turkish way of war shocked the whole of Arabia. Because the first rule of war of the Arabs is that women are not blasphemous; secondly, the lives and honor of children who are too young to fight with sincerity should be forgiven; third, the property that cannot be taken away should be left undamaged.

When the officer who came here spoke, Wang Ze saw some mocking on his face.

"But what about the Arabs' way of war? They will also kill all men. As for women, they are not blasphemous, which is against the same faith. If they are infidels, they will also blasphem. As for children who can't fight with sincerity, they will turn them into tribal slaves and even be castrated,"

A mocking smile reappeared on the officer's face.

"Whether for Turks or Arabs, the rules of war do not exist. Compared with those Arab tribes, the Turks still pay attention to the rules of war. At least they pay attention to certain rules of war on the battlefield, but the Arabs are different. There are no rules of war in their eyes. If one day, you have a war with such a person, as a pagan, if you face difficulties, unless you are willing to be removed..."

The officer looked at Wang Ze's lower body and only looked at Wang Ze**.

"So, to fight with such people, we should respect their rules of war. For those desert tribes, words are not as sharp as swords. Kindness is just the choice of cowards. Only the strong are respected here!"

Looking at the departure of the strange officer, Wang Ze felt that his words were more like telling him what war was and what... "Who is he?"

"Maybe it's from the Intelligence Agency!"

Xu Fulin took a look at the man.

"I heard that many intelligence officers have arrived here!"
