Chapter 194 Are the Japanese going to use poison gas?
Hearing the screeching sound of brakes at the door, Liu Cheng also came out of the command post.
"Old buddy, you're back so fast! What happened to your leg? Are you hurt?"
Just as he reached the door, he saw Zhuge Ming limping toward him, and Liu Cheng quickly asked with concern.
But before Zhuge Ming could answer, Liu Cheng started cursing again.
"Little Liu, Little Liu? Where are you? What are you doing taking care of the chief of staff? Don't you want to work here anymore?"
"Boss, I'm right here. You've really wronged me,"
Xiao Liu's voice came from outside, and then Liu Cheng drove his guard platoon and a group of people, all limping, into the courtyard. Some of the guard platoon soldiers even had two big bumps on their foreheads.
"What's going on?"
Liu Cheng was a little confused by the situation and asked Zhuge Ming beside him in bewilderment.
"Sigh, this is partly my fault. Let's go inside first. We can talk as we walk."
Liu Cheng helped Zhuge Ming walk towards the command post.
Zhuge Ming also briefly described to Liu Cheng why they had ended up like this, and who the culprit was.
After entering the command post, Liu Cheng poured Zhuge Ming a cup of tea, looking at Zhuge Ming who was half-sitting.
Liu Cheng suppressed a laugh and said.
"Hey, where's that little brat? I'll teach him a lesson for you, hahaha. Cough cough..."
Zhuge Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes at Liu Cheng.
"Alright, laugh if you want to,"
"Hahaha..."
Liu Cheng laughed for a while before he could suppress his laughter. Seeing Zhuge Ming's unpleasant expression, he quickly changed the subject.
"Ahem, let's get down to business."
Liu Cheng's smile vanished completely.
"Old man, we're in big trouble."
Zhuge Ming also became serious at this moment.
"According to information from underground intelligence agents in the northern province, a group of Japanese soldiers, all composed of Japanese officers, will be coming to the northern province in a couple of days to observe. But that's not the point. The point is that this group of Japanese soldiers brought with them newly developed poison gas bombs and want to test them directly on the battlefield."
Zhuge Ming heard Liu Cheng say this.
He jumped up and slammed his hand on the table.
"Does the commander-in-chief have the specific time in the intelligence regarding those damned Japanese devils?"
Liu Cheng looked at Zhuge Ming, whose face was filled with anger. His own heart was also surging with rage.
But he still suppressed his anger and said it.
"We've only found out that the Japanese observation group will be flying to Yuan City in two days, but the investigation into the poison gas bombs hasn't been completed yet. However, we can be sure that it's not on the same plane as the Japanese observation group."
"Hmph, these damn Japanese devils actually know fear."
Zhuge Ming picked up the water glass that he had knocked over with his own slap.
He thought for a moment and then said.
"Boss, we absolutely cannot let the Japanese use this poison gas on the battlefield. We must have the comrades at the Yuan City intelligence station investigate this matter at all costs."
"Yes, before you arrived, I had already given orders to the underground intelligence station in the original city to verify the information and to send the latest investigation results before 5 p.m.
I originally thought you'd arrive around four or five in the afternoon, which would give me time to formulate a plan based on the latest intelligence, but I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. Now you'll just have to wait here with me for the results.
Upon hearing Liu Cheng mention this, Zhuge Ming felt a dull ache in his buttocks.
"Hey, where's Xiao Luo? Did she realize she's caused trouble and is too scared to come over? Hehehe."
Liu Cheng realized he hadn't seen Bai Luo yet, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Meanwhile, Bai Luo was feeding the silly bear that had come running towards him because of his scent.
The silly bear munched on a chicken leg while making "woof woof" sounds, as if complaining about Bai Luo leaving it to someone else.
original city.
Xiao Zhongyinan had just finished lunch when his adjutant hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Commander, the tank squadron has also lost contact. Should we send men back to search for them...?"
Before the adjutant could finish speaking, Shinobu Kazuo reached out and interrupted him.
"Order all troops to suspend the sweep operation and remain on standby, while sending out small teams to monitor the movements of both the Red and Blue Party forces at all times."
Although the adjutant had some doubts about the order, he immediately obeyed and went to convey Shinobu Ichinan's command.
After the adjutant left, Xiao Zhongyinan walked to the desk and put a document marked "Top Secret" into the safe.
This is a top-secret plan sent from headquarters shortly after they dispatched tank units last night. There has been new progress with the poison gas bombs in the northern province.
Due to the changing situation, the General Staff was forced to test the newly developed poison gas bomb directly on the battlefield.
They no longer have time to wait for the poison gas bomb to be tested before deploying it on the battlefield.
And the western province became their best experimental site.
The Japanese officers who were supposed to be visiting were replaced by Japanese researchers, a case of false advertising. The name remained the same.
In some ways, these people deserve to die more than the Japanese soldiers.
The order that Shinobu Shigeichi gave earlier was to wait for the arrival of these researchers and the poison gas bombs.
At the same time, he also secretly transferred a large number of gas masks from surrounding troops.
Thinking of Sugimoto's squad, Sakata's regiment, Mitsui's company, Kato's battalion, and the tank company that may also have met with misfortune.
Xiao Zhongyinan couldn't help but feel a burning hatred.
The observation group will arrive in two days, and the batch of poison gas bombs will arrive that night as well. But no one would have thought that Xiao Zhongyinan would place the poison gas bombs in Anxian, the small county town closest to the former Red Party.
At 6 p.m., Liu Cheng and Zhuge Ming, who were having dinner, finally received the intelligence they had been waiting for.
When they saw the intelligence report that a Japanese observation group would indeed arrive in Hara City in two days, their expressions changed instantly.
However, this intelligence report only contained information about the observation group and did not mention any information about poison gas.
Zhuge Ming put down the intelligence report in his hand and spoke to Liu Cheng, who was deep in thought.
"What do you think, boss?"
Upon hearing his old buddy's question, Liu Cheng mentally reviewed the intelligence he currently possessed.
After a long silence, he slowly began to speak.
"Although we were unable to find any information about the Japanese poison gas bombs, this observation group alone proves that the intelligence from the northern province is highly reliable. We must be on guard."
Zhuge Ming nodded in agreement when he heard Liu Cheng's idea. At that moment, Zhuge Ming suddenly noticed a gas mask hanging on the wall in the corner of the command post. That was Liu Cheng's trophy.
Zhuge Ming suddenly had an idea and spoke to Liu Cheng.
"If the Japanese were to use poison gas, the news here would likely be tightly controlled, making it difficult for us to find out in a short time. Although we don't know how our comrades in the northern province obtained this intelligence, we can try to find out from other angles whether the Japanese have any intention of using poison gas."
"Oh? From which angle should we start?"
Zhuge Ming smiled without saying a word, gesturing for Liu Cheng to look at the corner where gas masks were hanging.
