1890 King of Southeast Asia

(I know what Bismarck is called, but there is no way.)

"Put on your mask, private." Seckt patted the helmet of the young soldier in front of him.

"Yes! Sir!" The young soldier stood up nervously and saluted.

Beep beep beep~~

A shrill whistle sounded, Seckt grabbed the gas mask and put it on the private, and then hurriedly put it on himself.

Not long after putting it on, Seckt saw yellow-green smoke coming out from the positions on both sides of him.

The smoke looked very thick and heavy, almost spreading on the ground, and it was impossible to see the situation on the other side through the smoke.

With the emergence of wind, the smoke quickly drifted towards the French position.

Boom boom boom...

The artillery positions in the rear also began to show their power, and the shells flew across the sky and landed on the French positions.

The French army subconsciously chose to avoid the artillery, either drilling into the anti-artillery holes or shrinking in various corners of the trenches.

Because of the smoke from the artillery fire, the French observers did not notice the dense smoke until the yellow-green smoke had run halfway.

"Poison gas! The Germans have released poison gas, put on your gas mask, quick!" The observer shouted nervously and took out his own gas mask and put it on.

The Germans had used poison gas on the battlefield. They used it in Belgium during the "Run to the Sea" campaign, killing thousands of elite British and French soldiers in one fell swoop. The terrifying effect directly caused a French infantry regiment and a British infantry division to be defeated.

Unfortunately, just as the Germans were attacking, the wind direction changed, and the poison gas enveloped the German positions. Although the Germans wore gas masks and were not injured, the smoke covered the Germans and made them lose the opportunity to pursue.

After that, Britain and France looked for convenient and quick ways to prevent poison gas all over the world - they had gas masks, but the production scale was not large, and the use limitations were not small.

For example, carbon monoxide filters are essentially gas masks, but they only prevent carbon monoxide.

There were also some respirators, but they were either inconvenient to carry or could not effectively solve the problem of poison gas.

Then, the Chinese came.

Military gas masks are very effective against chlorine gas, and only cost 10.2 US dollars each. The most important thing is that they accept paper money for payment!

Moreover, the gas mask itself can be reused, but the filter element needs to be replaced. China provides cheap filter elements, 2 US dollars each.

10.2 US dollars may not be cheap for an ordinary person, but for Britain and France in the war, this price is not expensive.

Soon, the first batch of 500,000 gas masks prepared by China were all gone, and the British and French placed orders for 1.5 million.

What? You said it would be cheaper to make it yourself?

Gas masks require a lot of leather or rubber, and China is the largest supplier of rubber and a large leather supplier.

Even if they don't hold you back on raw materials, what about the time cost? War is fought on time, and there is also labor cost. Britain and France are now fully productive, and one person is willing to be split into two people. Where can there be so many people to open new production lines?

Gas masks have long been industrialized in China. After all, the processing is not difficult - the airtightness requirements are not high, anyway, the products of the same era are similar.

And for Britain and France now, as long as it can be used, is the quality good? Sorry, let's solve the problem of whether it is available or not first.

The Americans made canned food with dead rat meat. The British knew what it was, but they still imported a lot of it. There was no way. The daily consumption on the front line was so high that it was good to have it.

The material cost of each gas mask was less than 1 yuan. After all, it was just a little rubber and cloth, plus two lenses.

As for the filter element? That thing is a separate commodity. Not only does it need to be replaced, but different filters are used for different gases. For example, the filter elements used to filter chlorine and phosgene are different.

World War I was an era of vigorous development of gases. Various gases emerged in an endless stream. Of course, filter elements must be sold separately to maximize profits.

The French were using gas masks produced in China at this time. Because of their important geographical location, they were issued gas masks in the first batch.

They were lucky. Most of the colleagues in the Central Army Group were still using urine-soaked towels to cover their mouths and noses to prevent the harm of chlorine.

Soon, the poisonous gas floated up. Because they had gas masks, they were not hurt much.

"Colonel, there seems to be someone in the smoke." The French observer lay on the edge of the trench, sticking his head out to observe secretly.

With the help of the sun, he seemed to see some shadows in the smoke.

"Where?" French Colonel Lucas ran over with a gas mask in his hand.

"This group of Germans who are raised by their parents." Lucas took a look and saw that there were many figures in the smoke. It was obvious that the Germans rushed up under the cover of the smoke.

At this time, the distance was only 56 meters. The Germans should be removing the barbed wire or other obstacles in front of the position.

"Machine gun shooting, all bayonets ready, let these Germans see how powerful we are!" Lucas shouted and fired a shot at the front.

There was no way. Because of the smoke, he temporarily lost his ability to command, and the messenger was also hindered.

Telephone? The third position was built in a hurry. It was supposed to be put into use at the end of September, but it was early May now. Many facilities were not complete, including the telephone.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta… Ta-ta-ta-ta…

Boom-boom-boom…

The closest to his one -tall Hagis drove a heavy machine gun, and the Mark Qin heavy machine gun in the distance also fired on his own.

Then the entire line of defense began to shoot. Although there were no accurate heads, many Germans fell down.

The Germans lay down on the spot, and they also blocked their attention because of smoke and anti -virus masks. The quasi -head was extremely poor.

However, after all, the Germans took the lead. On one position, the three Germans quietly touched the position of more than 30 meters, threw 3 grenades, and then launched an charge.

The defensive French army restricted the vision because of the anti -virus mask, and did not notice the lurking Germans. When the enemy was found, the grenade had already flew over.

BOO!

With the explosion, the Germans rushed to the position. After a few short gunshots, the position was occupied by the Germans, and then the Germans who were constantly rushed to the position.

"Colonel, the Germans rushed to the position of the 9th squadron."

"Colonel, the Germans were also found on the position of the 5th Squadron."

At this time, the smoke has been scattered 1, and the distance of at least tens of meters can still be seen clearly.

Lucas looked at it that there were one enemy in front of him, but not many, because the field of vision became better, and he was using the team's tactics and retreating, looking for bunkers.

"The reserve team is not moving, blowing the number, preparing to fight the Blade!" Lucas saw this and made his determination.

The Reserve system of the French army is very poor. At least there is no way to compare with the Germans, and tactical training is relatively old.

During the war, the number of French troops expanded tenfold from 7800,000 to 70,000 to 900,000. In the first year of the war, the total number of French army reached nearly 3 million people, almost 4 times.

(There is no consumption of the colonial soldiers, and the foreign corps are calculated.)

1 The lower sub -swelling is so much, of course, the French knows their pounds, so the recruits are training and bayonet training.

Anyway, his rifle tactics are relatively old. As long as the church soldiers are shot, there are artillery far away, and there are more organic guns, and even closer, a bayonet can be charge.

Dudu ~~

The sound of the sharp whistle sounded, and the French soldiers wore a blue military uniform, holding a rifle, climbing out of the trenches, and rushing towards the enemy with a bayonet.

Their instructor did not teach them how much, mainly at charge, charge, and charge, emphasizing that bayonet is the romance of men.

"ah!"

"ah!"

"..."

The distance of tens of meters is for adults who are running for a few seconds. In just a few seconds, the full -armed soldiers bayonet charge at most ten seconds.

A few Germans fired 1 shot, and most Germans chose to move closer immediately and clenched the bayonet.

This is much more important than driving a shot. After all, one more people can cooperate with one more, maybe they can survive, and one shot may kill one person, but it is a waste of time.

The battlefield is not a film and television drama. One person has a single person, or a bayonet battle. Not to mention whether you can kill others, you will definitely die.

The soldiers screamed to express their inner fear, and then stabbed the bayonet towards the enemy with labels fiercely.

"Go to death, French guy!"

"See the ghost! Damn German guy."

Puff ~~

Smirk ~

Click!

The sound of the bayonet pushed into the meat, the sound of the bayonet pulled out, the sound of the bayonet stabbed to the bones, and the ghost barking of the soldiers and the wrath of the injury, formed a symphony of the battlefield.

"Reserve team preparation, follow me."

"Passing the soldiers, immediately transfer to the teacher, we need support."

Seeing that the front line was not good, Lucas said to Chuan Lingbing. After speaking, he pulled out his command knife and shouted loudly:

"French warriors, for the motherland France, charge! D drive the German guy!"

Speaking, Lucas rushed up first.

The damage of poisonous gas to the French army is not without, not only blocking the sight, but also giving the Germans opportunities to take advantage of it.

Some French troops also caused the gaps to be too large due to the non -toxic mask's faces, and inhaled some chlorine gas. At this time, it was not able to enter the battlefield, which caused the French army to be at a local disadvantage.

(There is a problem with the product? Impossible! 1 must be that your face is not standard enough to fit the product! —— Liu 1 Ming.)

Bai Blade War's demand for military strength was still not small. After Lucas took people up, he quickly stabilized the front and pushed the Germans.

However, Lucas also suffered 1 injury. The most important thing was that he was stabbed on his leg.

At this moment, Lucas saw a Germans, a Germans, that is Sett.

Bang!

Lucas took out a pistol and was a shot in the Saiker. Unfortunately, it was more than 50 meters away. It was a bit far away for the pistol and did not hit it.

The shot was shocked to the Saitt, Saiker turned his head, and saw Lucas, a military official service.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The two people shot each other, shot one side on the first side to avoid, Lucas hit a shot of the Saitt first, hitting the Paort's belly.

Sett was shocked, and the pain made his subconscious shrinking. He pulled the trigger and hit 1 shot on Lucas's other leg.

"Kill these German guys!"

"Long live in Jeanne!"

"Aba Aba ..."

At this moment, the French reinforcement arrived.

Sett stared at Lucas, as if to write down him -if he didn't bring a poisonous mask.

"Retreat! Retreat as soon as possible!"

Before the French reinforcements arrived, the Germans withdrew from the battle, and they were covered by artillery fire, helping them to block the enemy's pursuit.

The failure of the gas attack proved that the bloody Verdun had officially begun.
