In the Japanese headquarters, Matsui Iwane and Tsukada were attacking, and Iinuma Mamoru and others gathered around the map and sand table to conduct war chess deductions for the upcoming Battle of Hangzhou.

The results of several deductions were that the independent brigade took the initiative to abandon Hangzhou and withdraw into the Kuomintang-controlled area in western Zhejiang before the arrival of the 9th, 11th, and 18th Divisions. They took advantage of their mechanization.

At that time, the Japanese occupation of Zhejiang was limited to the Hangzhou area, and even Ningbo was still in the hands of the Chinese army.

Of course, Matsui Iwane was dissatisfied with this result, so he ordered Tsukada and Iinuma to overthrow and start again many times.

Iinuma Mamoru responded to Matsui Iwane impatiently: "General, we want to contain Zhu Ziming's troops in Hangzhou.

We must first let the 3rd Division and the 114th Division form the leading attack group and launch the attack first.

But with the current strength of the 3rd and 114th Divisions, they cannot attack Hangzhou alone!

Therefore, we can only hope that the independent brigade of the Chinese Army will not give up Hangzhou just like that, or that the imperial army will mobilize heavy troops from the front to come back to encircle and suppress them at this juncture!"

"This is unreasonable. In this case, wouldn't we be very passive?" Matsui Iwane was also very unhappy. When had the mighty Imperial Army of Japan been so passive?

However, just before Matsui Iwane finished speaking, a harsh scream suddenly came from outside.

The experienced Matsui Iwane, Tsukada Gong and others all changed their expressions because they realized something was wrong immediately.

"General! No, there's a situation!" Mamoru Iinuma and Kaguya Tsukada subconsciously exclaimed as a reminder, and hurriedly stepped in front of Matsui Iwane.

At this time, twenty poisonous gas bombs outside hit the roof of the house and the open space outside the door one after another. Balls of reddish-brown poisonous gas suddenly emerged from the gas bombs and spread quickly.

Because they did not hear the explosion, Matsui Iwane and others, who had already squatted down to try to avoid it, stood up in surprise and looked at each other and asked: "What's going on? What's going on?"

Before he finished speaking, a figure ran in from outside in a panic. Matsui Iwane and others looked up and saw that the person who came was someone else.

It was a garrison second lieutenant from their headquarters. Seeing that the second lieutenant ignored the salute, he said anxiously: "General, it's bad, we were attacked by poison gas bombs! Please evacuate this place quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, the Japanese second lieutenant, who had inhaled a lot of poison gas bombs outside, suddenly couldn't help but foam at the mouth, stumbled, lost his balance and fell down.

At this time, Xu Wen commanded the soldiers and fired a second wave of poisonous gas bombs. The poisonous gas from the previous twenty poisonous gas bombs had already enveloped the command room where Matsui Iwane was and the confidential room next to it.

Got up.

The pervasive poisonous gas penetrated and spread into the combat command room where Matsui Iwane and others were located.

It was pitch dark outside at night and it was impossible to see this auburn poisonous gas. However, there were lights in the command room, and Matsui Iwane and the others could clearly see that streams of auburn poisonous mist were heading towards them at an alarming speed.

Diffusion is coming.

Seeing this scene, Matsui Iwane, Tsukada Kaoru, Iinuma Mamoru and others all changed their expressions. Iinuma Mamoru even reminded in a horrified voice: "No, cover your mouth and nose quickly and get out!

"

After saying that, he was the first to raise his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and together with Tsukada and several other staff adjutants, surrounded by Matsui Iwane, they ran out in panic.

However, the poisonous gas outside is denser, and they are running nervously and quickly, which consumes more oxygen!

That's why I fled to the door. Because I couldn't hold my breath, I breathed in a lot of poisonous air.

After walking a few steps along the corridor in front of the door, Matsui Iwane and the others found that the communications soldiers and staff officers in the confidential room were all frothing at the mouth and ran out of it in great pain.

Some people, as soon as they ran to the door, lost their balance and fell on the threshold, vomiting blood, screaming in agony and twitching.

"Baga Ya Road!" Matsui Iwane, who had inhaled a lot of poisonous air and became violent, irritable, dizzy and nauseated, couldn't help roaring angrily after seeing this scene.

This roar didn't matter, it consumed all the remaining oxygen in his lungs.

Therefore, he was forced to inhale more toxic air, and then Matsui Iwane became unsteady and began to stagger.

Tsukada Gong, Iinuma Mamoru and others hurriedly supported him and continued to walk to the front headquarters gate.

At this time, in the alley across the street, Xu Wen was still directing twenty soldiers to fire gas bombs.

"Quick! Keep firing! Use up all the gas bombs!"

In order to kill Iwane Matsui, Xu Wen threw his entire headquarters into a pot and exchanged a full 200 rounds of poison gas bombs.

Each mortar must fire ten rounds to destroy all the gas bombs.

Under Xu Wen's urging and command, twenty soldiers fired at full speed and fired poison gas bombs into the Japanese headquarters one after another.

The Japanese troops inside and outside the headquarters were all caught off guard. Many people fell under the attack of poisonous gas before they had time to escape or find gas masks.

Senior staff of the headquarters such as Matsui Iwane, Tsukada Kaguya, and Iinuma Mamoru were unable to escape in the end, and fell one after another less than ten meters away from the headquarters gate.

Although there were some Japanese guards who had not yet fallen, they risked their lives to carry them out of the compound where the headquarters was located and evacuated them urgently.

However, before they were sent to the hospital, three people died of respiratory failure one after another!

On Xu Wen's side, all the gas bombs had been fired. Xu Wen ordered the cannons to be abandoned, and with twenty soldiers holding guns, they retreated.

Shanghai at that time was different from other places. Although it was prosperous, it had no city walls, so it was easier to break through.

The news that the headquarters had been attacked spread quickly. Countless Japanese military policemen ran into the streets in panic and blocked every street entrance. The entire Shanghai-Japanese war zone was in chaos.

Xu Wen and twenty soldiers calmly arrived at an intersection. Seeing a small group of Japanese soldiers setting up roadblocks in front of them, Xu Wen took the lead and walked over.

A Japanese second lieutenant spotted them and immediately shouted: "Stop! What kind of work are you doing?"

As Xu Wen walked away, he angrily shouted in Japanese: "Baga! I am Colonel Hashimoto, and I have been ordered to pursue the Chinese who attacked the headquarters!"

While he was talking, Xu Wen had already approached, raised his hand and slapped the Japanese second lieutenant.
Chapter completed!
