Chapter 1 Lin Fan's Observation

When Lin Fan scouted out from the courtyard, the entire special company's soldiers outside were already prepared.

Lin Fan pointed to a place a little further away and led a few squad leaders further away.

He was afraid of waking up the sleeping devils in the courtyard.

Looking at the house a hundred meters away, he said to several squad leaders: "I just scouted it out, the devils are all in the front yard, not many of them.

"The front yard has a courtyard wall, which is perfect for using poison gas bombs.

"All the poison gas will be concentrated in the yard. It will be enough for those devils to drink a pot of it.

"Now I order: Squad Six and Squad Seven, enter from the rear courtyard wall, don't disturb the enemy.

"Block the road for the devils from the front yard to enter the rear yard.

"Do not enter the front yard until the battle is over!

"Squad Four and Squad Five, go to the left wall of the front yard and set up a machine gun position.

"Squad Two and Squad Three, go to the right wall of the front yard and set up a machine gun position.

"The four of you are the same, do not enter the courtyard until the battle is over.

"Squad One and the Direct Unit, follow me and guard this door.

"When the shells start bombing, immediately launch flares.

"Remember all directions,

"Don't let a single devil escape.

"No one should enter the front yard, wear your gas masks.

"Tonight, we will let these devils taste the taste of poison gas bombs."

Several squad leaders whispered together: "Don't let a single devil escape!"

After speaking, Lin Fan ordered: "Action! In half an hour, we will start launching poison gas bombs."

Watching several squad leaders lead their teams away, the Direct Unit began to move the poison gas bombs from the truck.

All four mortars were also set up.

A box of poison gas bombs was placed in front of each gun.

The four gunners preparing to fire had also put on their gas masks and were waiting for Lin Fan's order.

Lin Fan whispered, "There are twenty minutes now, you can wait a while before putting them on."

Wu Xiaobao, Zhao Long, Ji Wudi, and Ji Jiahen shook their heads like rattles, indicating that it was good to be like this now!

Tonight, Lin Fan had given the order that the entire battle would be fired by the four of them.

This made the four soldiers very happy.

At this time, they only wished they could grow an invisible hand and turn the minute hand of the watch on Lin Fan's wrist faster.

It would be best to turn it directly to twenty minutes later.

Lin Fan looked at the time. In the silent night, every minute of this time was longer than an hour in ordinary times.

He waited quietly.

Waiting for the arrival of half an hour, only he in the entire special company had a watch, no one else had such a high-end thing.

Lin Fan already knew what he was going to equip these soldiers with.

Find an opportunity to enter the concession and buy a watch for each soldier, which will be useful for future operations.

There is also a real problem: all the soldiers are following him to fight the devils, can't they always do it for nothing without military pay?

A watch for each person is both a war need and can appease the soldiers' hearts.

Good idea!

Time flowed slowly in their anxious waiting. The four soldiers who were going to make the first wave of attacks had been waiting anxiously.

Lin Fan didn't know if the soldiers in the other three directions were in place.

This era already had radio communication, but it was still the particularly large type. Lin Fan missed the headset-style communicators of later generations.

Seeing that it was thirty minutes, according to Lin Fan's estimation, the soldiers in the three directions should have been in place.

He made a downward gesture with his palm, and the four soldiers who had been waiting for this gesture.

Immediately picked up a poison gas bomb and fired it.

In the past few days, they had seen Lin Fan fire it many times.

Just as the four poison gas bombs exploded on the roofs of the courtyard, Liu Laopao had fired a flare.

They had actually been in place for a while, but they couldn't find the time and there was no way to notify Lin Fan.

They could only wait like this!

The entire front yard was illuminated in detail.

The second round of bombing arrived again.

Some of these shells relied on gravity to smash through the small blue tiles and explode in the room.

The devils in the room were in a bad situation. Someone was immediately blown to pieces, and some were scarred.

Some of the fired shells encountered the purlins on the roof and exploded on the roof.

The entire roof immediately collapsed in a large area, and the devils who were still dreaming in the room were immediately crushed.

When the first round of shells fell, all the snoring in the courtyard stopped, replaced by the screams and groans of the devils.

No matter where these shells exploded, under the white light of the flares.

They all emitted a stream of bright red smoke, which filled the room and the courtyard.

This red smoke was like the bloody mouth of a fierce ghost, devouring the devils in the courtyard bit by bit.

Captain Oshima Kaimura was ordered today to lead a team of soldiers to transport a batch of poison gas bombs to the Huxi front line.

His team had done such tasks of transporting materials to the Luxi front line countless times.

He had also led people along this route several times and was very familiar with it.

This time, the quantity of the task was not large, but the confidentiality requirements were high.

They received the order at three o'clock in the afternoon.

By the time the materials were loaded and they set off, it was almost dark.

Captain Oshima Kaimura, who knew the entire transportation route like the back of his hand, didn't take it seriously.

He had his own plan: to rest in Zhenru for the night.

The last few times, in this place of Zhenru, he could still find some fun.

Today, when Captain Oshima Kaimura led the transport team to Zhenru, it was evening.

Captain Oshima Kaimura looked around, wanting to see which place was emitting smoke.

They could go to that place to find some fun, but these people were disappointed tonight.

Looking around, the world was very desolate, without a trace of fire.

After several months of this war, the surrounding people were constantly swept by the devils, and no family could live there anymore.

All the people around here had run away!

They had all fled to avoid the war!

It was difficult to travel at night!

Captain Oshima Kaimura had no choice but to order the entire team to camp on the spot.

In fact, it was not that they could not continue to move forward, but Captain Oshima Kaimura heard that Hongqiao Airport was attacked last night.

He was afraid of encountering those who attacked the imperial army at night.

That's why he decided to rest in Zhenru for one night and send this batch of poison gas bombs over early tomorrow morning.

Anyway, the delivery time for these munitions was before noon tomorrow.

This place of Zhenru had long been swept back and forth by the soldiers of the empire many times.

There were no ordinary people or any signs of life around, and they had no way to find food or entertainment in this town.

They could only eat the dry food they brought with them and rest early.

Originally, Captain Oshima Kaimura set up two sentries at the gate of this house and sent two people to each of the three cars to guard them.

What he didn't expect was that the discipline of his transport team was not as good as that of a regular combat team after all.

Those few sentries were also veterans in the transport team.

They had traveled this route no less than Captain Oshima Kaimura.

They stayed outside for a while and felt that it was a little scary to be alone outside in such a dark night.

The most important thing was loneliness!

At the same time, these soldiers also felt that there was no need to set up sentries in this completely uninhabited place.

Wouldn't it be better for the eight soldiers to return to the large team together, bragging and chatting together?

When they were tired and sleepy, those soldiers who were supposed to go to change the sentries saw that the sentries were all in this room.

Of course, they were too lazy to go out again.

Now they were suddenly awakened by the continuous explosions, and then saw that the entire courtyard was as bright as day.

Immediately, some soldiers picked up their guns, opened the door and rushed outside.

As soon as they rushed out the door, they were met with fierce machine gun fire.

Xiao Dongbei's Squad Three had been waiting for these devils to show their heads on the right courtyard wall.

As soon as they saw a devil poking his head out, they immediately opened fire.

Squad Two and Squad Three opened fire, and Squad Four and Squad Five were not to be outdone, and immediately joined in.

They began to sweep towards those rooms.

Hearing that their comrades in the courtyard were having fun and enjoying themselves.

Ye Dadan and Yang Daren were anxiously waiting in the backyard, wanting to move the position forward.

Looking at the poisonous smoke on the roof of the front yard, they remembered Lin Fan's instructions: no one should enter the front yard.

They didn't know what the company commander was thinking, there were only so few devils, and the shells were still being fired non-stop.

Wu Xiaobao, Zhao Long, and the other four finished firing five rounds in rapid succession, and paused slightly.

Now, continuous coughing could be heard throughout the front yard.

The devils who woke up first and rushed out of the room were beaten back by the fierce machine gun fire.

Those devils had no choice but to stay in the room and try to resist.

Just as their idea of resistance arose.

Captain Ohtori Kaimura's terrified voice rang out: "Poison gas bombs! They are using poison gas bombs!"

The entire front yard was now filled with poison gas.

These devils had been trained in poison gas prevention, but they didn't have gas masks with them.

"The gas masks are outside!" a soldier shouted loudly.

"Use a towel dipped in water to cover your mouth and nose," another soldier shouted loudly.

"There is no water!"

"There is no water!"

"The well is in the back!"

These devils all knew that the well was in the back. They had even gone to the well to fetch water in the evening.

But how could they get there now?

Captain Ohtori Kaimura said calmly: "Urine! Use urine to wet the towel and cover your mouth and nose!"

Another soldier shouted in a crying voice: "I have no urine, no urine anymore.

"Who will lend me some urine, lend me some urine."

Someone immediately shouted: "The tears you cry out can also be used."

No matter how chaotic the devils were in the room, Squad One and the Direct Unit, who were attacking from a distance, didn't know what was happening in the courtyard.

The four gunners were still firing.

For Wu Xiaobao, Zhao Long, Ji Wudi, and Ji Jiahen, it was a rare opportunity to have a good time.

They would never stop unless Lin Fan told them to!

Lin Fan had no intention of letting them stop, so they were happy to keep firing like this.

Captain Oshima Kaimura listened to the continuous explosions.

The roof of his room had collapsed.

Fortunately, the soldiers who woke up were all crouching close to the wall.

They were just covered in dust from the collapsed roof.

But the poison gas in the entire room could not be dispersed.

The devils in the room were a little quieter, and some had already coughed until they couldn't breathe.

This was the result of those soldiers who couldn't find urine and couldn't wet their towels, and just used dry towels to cover their mouths and noses.

Some soldiers disliked the urine covering their mouths and noses was too disgusting.

Now Captain Ohtori Kaimura couldn't care about those soldiers who were destined to be eliminated.

There were also some unlucky soldiers who were crushed by the collapsed roof while they were sleeping.

At this time, they were groaning and howling in pain, begging for help from their comrades.

They didn't even have time to use a dry towel, and the initial howling immediately turned into a cough that couldn't be breathed.

Captain Oshima Kaimura watched the flares in the courtyard slowly extinguishing, this was an opportunity.

When the flares were completely extinguished, it was time for them to counterattack.

The last bit of spark that the flare struggled to burst out was quickly swallowed by the dark night sky.

After the last trace of afterglow was swallowed by the endless darkness.

Captain Ohtori Kaimura pointed outside and roared: "Rush out."

Darkness was their best cover, and all the devils who could stand up began to open the doors and rush into the courtyard.

They had to rush through this twenty-meter-long road in the courtyard, and then open the gate of the courtyard.

Then they could rush into the town.

When these devils rushed out of the room and continued to sprint.

Another flare rose in the courtyard.

All the devils who rushed out were exposed to the white light of the flare.

Although the entire courtyard was filled with a lot of poison gas, the four squads on the courtyard wall could still vaguely see the figures of the devils.

The machine guns on the courtyard wall roared, sweeping towards these devils.

Some devils stood stubbornly, turning their heads and wanting to run back into the room.

Soon these devils knew the meaning of the eight words: "The tree that stands out from the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

These tall figures of theirs became targets pursued by machine guns.

The devils who rushed back to the room were killed on the spot.

Those devils who desperately wanted to rush to the gate also fell to the ground.

All of these standing devils were the priority targets for the special company soldiers on the courtyard wall to eliminate.

Only those devils who saw that the situation was not good and immediately lay on the ground, crawling and counterattacking, were still struggling for survival.

When those standing devils also voluntarily or involuntarily fell to the ground.

The devils crawling in the middle of the courtyard ushered in a torrential rain of bullets.

Lin Fan heard the continuous sound of machine guns on the courtyard wall, and also heard the devils coughing from inside the courtyard gate.

Immediately, he slightly adjusted the angle of the four mortars, and now the range of the four mortars changed from those rooms to the middle of the courtyard.

Those devils who were still crawling in the middle of the courtyard and resisting collapsed all of a sudden.

They couldn't last too long in a poison gas environment at all. Now these devils were lying in a poison gas environment.

The rain of bullets was splashing over like water, and they were already struggling very hard.

Now there were shells bombing down on their heads non-stop.

Captain Ohtori Kaimura had to issue an order: "Disperse and break through!"

The translation of this order at once was: the situation is critical, and there is no way to organize a team to break through.

Go and save your own lives if you have any way!

I am giving up struggling and lying flat!

I am also going to use my own method to escape.

After issuing the order, Captain Oshima Kaimura crawled and adjusted his direction of advance.

He no longer thought about escaping from the front door, now he changed his mind and crawled towards the backyard.

This was a difficult journey, although the journey was less than a hundred meters, it took Captain Oshima Kaimura a lot of effort.

It wasn't just him who had such an idea.

In front of him, behind him, to his left and right, there were many soldiers who had the same thoughts as him.

These people thought: since the front is blocked, of course, we have to go through the back door.

These people's mouths were covered with towels soaked in urine, which could only provide a little simple protection.

If they could quickly rush out of the poison gas-filled area, this protective measure could still save the lives of these devils.

It was just that the soldiers of the special company broke their extravagance with a hail of bullets.

This team of devils had been immersed in the poison gas environment for almost five minutes.

Captain Oshima Kaimura already felt dizzy and wanted to tear off the wet towel covering his mouth and nose.

He used the strongest will to prevent himself from doing such a stupid thing.

Those devils who were coughing loudly in the room, those devils who were coughing to death, now had no sound coming out.

Those devils were really coughing to death.

Captain Oshima Kaimura and his group were crawling away from the ground.

The poison gas filled the entire courtyard, and the vision was unclear.

The special company soldiers on the courtyard wall did not notice that there was such a group of devils crawling away from under their noses.

Captain Ohtori Kaimura finally saw the round door leading to the backyard.

These devils now had only one thought: to leave here, to leave this hellish place.

As for quietly hiding in the dark and counterattacking those people on the wall, these devils didn't even have this idea.

Because they knew the power of these poison gases, like them now, they would be poisoned and die without any action in a few minutes.

Even now, they already had signs of poisoning.

Not to mention that they had already seen the door leading to life.

Crawling through that door was a new world.

Ye Dadan's Squad Six and Yang Daren's Squad Seven, in these short few minutes, heard the intense gunfire and the rumble of artillery fire in the front yard, but there was nothing for them to do.

They had been anxiously thinking: why haven't the devils come out yet.

While they were muttering, they suddenly discovered that a head poked out from the ground inside the courtyard door they were blocking.

At first, it was like a turtle, stretching its head out for a long time.

Later, it was a group of devils, stretching out their heads for a long time.
