What is the 'gas bombardment' here?
In a novel describes the World War I, there's a sentence:
Our booty included a 210mm battery which had been under gas bombardment and whose crew had disappeared without leaving a trace.

It's from a commander of German troop. And I wonder whether the 'gas bombardment' here is something like a gas bomb which gives off poisonous gases?

Answer

You are right. Correct.

A gass bombardment would give off poison glass. Bombardment however often is not a one time thing.

They used it under gas bombardment.

So gass bang bang bang many times. They used it.
