And this Mu Dazuo spent so much effort that he even did not hesitate to risk weakening the firepower of the front line. In addition to stopping the possible landing of the Anti-Japanese Union, he also has an idea www.biquge.info that has always existed. That is, through this anti-landing operation as much as possible, it will resist the damn small fleet of the United Nations.

There is also the former Manchurian Imperial Maritime Police Force that betrayed the Kwantung Army and used the ships built by the empire to help them, and now help the anti-Japanese elements to attack the Kwantung Army, so as to solve the most critical problem of sea transportation in the defense of Huludao at present. Even for the remaining troops in Huludao, reopen the retreat channel.

Mu Dafu Dazuo firmly believes that it is the small but annoying small fleet of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, as well as air superiority, that are the real reasons that hinder the Kwantung Army from supporting him. Although he had no way to deal with the air power of the Anti-Japanese Federation, he believed that as long as he defeated this hateful small fleet and reopened a sea lane, then he could at least get a certain amount of food supplies, and at least alleviate his urgent needs.

At this time, this Mu Dazuo, although he still has some concerns in his heart. But he no longer has any mobile forces in his hands, so he has no choice but to gamble on this one as much as possible. The possible landing site of the Anti-Union was selected to the south of the Great Wasteland.

Although he knew that the Kwantung Army and the Fourth Army he was in, there was no hope that it would be possible to rescue him. But as the supreme commander of the Fourth Army in the entire Huludao at the moment, Mu Dafu Dazuo is doing his best at the same time. I still hope in my heart that the Kwantung Army can stretch out a hand at this time.

Although the Navy has almost lost its old capital in the just-concluded Battle of Leyte Gulf. But on the mainland, after all, there are still some ships present. Of course, most of these ships are now almost immobile due to a severe lack of fuel. But after all, the navy still has some capital, and the remnants of the Fourth Army's troops left in Huludao are not without any hope of being rescued.

As long as it can get rid of that hateful fleet, the Kwantung Army can at least transport some food supplies to the Huludao garrison that is about to break off at the moment. But in any case, the first thing to do is to be able to persevere. Otherwise, if he can't hold on, even if the Kwantung Army wants to rescue, he will be powerless, and Mu Dafu still knows this very well.

But now the defenders of Huludao are not only facing more and more fierce attacks from the anti-union in person. More critically, food is now in dire straits. The troops who stayed behind to hold out, including him, the supreme temporary commander, could only be equipped with four taels of food per day.

Even such a small grain stockpile, because the grain warehouse was destroyed by the bomber group of the Anti-United Nations, it is becoming more and more difficult to guarantee. The serious food problem that the whole army is facing at the moment has also forced Mu Dafu Dazuo to a certain extent, and he can't gamble on this if he wants to. If he doesn't find a way to solve the small fleet of the Anti-Japanese Federation and open up communication with the outside world, his remaining troops will really not be able to survive.

Huludao is a small, hilly peninsula. This kind of terrain is good for defense, but there are advantages and disadvantages. This small peninsula itself is not a food production area, and the people here are mainly fishermen, who have always made a living from fishing, and do not farm themselves. The daily food needs must be supplied by the Jinzhou and Jinxi regions in the north.

At the same time, the entire Huludao itself is not a densely populated area at all, except for some fishermen. Although the Fourth Army tried its best after withdrawing to Huludao, it almost dug into the ground and levied everywhere. However, the amount of food that could be collected was still quite limited, and it was not even enough for a single Fourth Army headquarters for three days.

After the loss of North Manchuria, in order to loot the resources of South Manchuria as much as possible and ensure the entire strategic needs of the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army began to implement a food rationing system for South Manchuria. The Chinese in South Manchuria only supply one and a half pounds of sorghum rice every day, and no one in any household is allowed to keep grain in stock.

Even the peasants, all the grain produced each year must be handed over. Even the seed grain had to be collected by the Japanese Control Concord when it was time for spring ploughing. In addition to the cooperation of each month, not a pound of grain is allowed to be reserved. As for strategic materials such as soybean oil, the common people can't even see it. All the soybeans were shipped back to the mainland by the Japanese.

In order to loot strategic materials such as grain, the Kwantung Army scraped the ground in Nanman, but it did not expect that when the Japanese army needed it, it lifted a stone and smashed it on the surface of its feet. The entire Huludao peninsula, which is not large, is itself dominated by fishermen and is a non-agricultural area.

In addition, due to its proximity to the coast, the number of residents itself is really small. Under the strict rationing system imposed by the Kwantung Army, there was no food in the hands of the common people. After withdrawing to Huludao, even if the Japanese army dug three feet into the ground, they did not loot much food.

In fact, as the Japanese army in the whole of South Manchuria, except for Dalian and Lushun, one of the most important ports. It was also the original Japanese army that plundered the resources of western Liaoning, especially the mineral resources in Jinxi, Chaoyang, and Fuxin, as well as the entire Huludao port of western Liaoning's grain export port, and there was not a lot of grain stored in several warehouses in the port.

However, before the official start of the Battle of Huludao, the anti-United bomber group, which was chasing the retreating troops of the Fourth Army, directly regarded the various warehouses of the Japanese army in the port as the first target. Among them, several warehouses that had stored tens of thousands of tons of Japanese grain, which were originally ready to be transported to Japan, became the preferred targets.

When the main force of the Fourth Army braved the indiscriminate bombardment of the Anti-Japanese Union all the way, discarded the corpses and wounded along the way, as well as most of the heavy weapons and equipment, and struggled to withdraw to Huludao, in addition to the bombs that kept falling, they were greeted by a raging fire in several large warehouses filled with tens of thousands of tons of grain and other materials in the port. There are more than a dozen grain and material reserve warehouses in the entire Huludao port, and only one grain depot built in a cave has survived.

Unfortunately, the only remaining warehouse had just been transferred to the Korean army before the war. The rest of the grain in it is not eaten by the Japanese, not to mention the sorghum rice used as fodder for military horses, and the total amount is only less than 20 tons.

Most of the original grain reserve warehouses were destroyed, and after the Fourth Army withdrew to Huludao, except for a small part of the Japanese army's standard field food. The rest of the supplies were chased and bombed by the anti-United Nations planes all the way, and everything that could be lost was lost. And because of the hasty retreat from Jinzhou, he didn't carry much food, and he basically lost everything.

During the retreat, the planes of the Anti-Japanese Union chased the bombed Fourth Army all the way. With two heavy artillery wings and an independent field heavy artillery brigade, all the artillery was either lost on the battlefield in Yixian or all lost on the way to retreat. Although the artillery belonging to the remaining divisions and regiments reluctantly struggled to withdraw to Huludao, there were only a dozen or so wild howitzers left.

The dozen or so Type 91 howitzers, as well as a few Type 90 field guns, were already retreating from the Yixian battlefield when the Yixian battlefield came to an end, and retreated to Huludao in advance to strengthen Huludao's defense forces. It is used to ensure that this last one of them is saved when needed.

As for the two Type 89 cannons that appeared in Huludao of the Fourth Army, as well as the four 150-mm howitzers of the 4th Taisho Dynasty. Still after learning the information that the Anti-Japanese Federation was forming its own fleet, Qin Yanzaburo specially asked for the Fourth Army. It was retained to prevent the Anti-Japanese Union from landing behind the Fourth Army and transferring it to the Huludao battlefield. If it weren't for Qin Yanzaburo's insistence, I'm afraid these heavy artillery wouldn't have had such a headache as Wang Guangyu.

Because of its important position, the Fourth Army was equipped with artillery that occupied a quarter of the artillery directly under the Kwantung Army, except for some mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars, only a dozen field guns were withdrawn from the high-power artillery, and all the rest were either lost or blown up on the way to retreat.

The Fourth Army was in an unusually hurry when retreating, and was chased by anti-United Nations planes from Jinzhou to Huludao along the way. Even for the Japanese army, the vital weapons and equipment are about to be lost, not to mention the unimportant food that can be replenished when it arrives in Huludao?

When Huludao saw the burning warehouse, all the officers and soldiers of the entire Fourth Army, from Iida Shojiro to the lower ones, were dumbfounded. Except for a small amount of field food, the rest of the materials that could be thrown away have been thrown away. Originally, I thought that I would keep the heavy equipment, and the grain would be replenished when it arrived in Huludao. But when Huludao's grain reserves had already gone to the west, the Fourth Army found that it was about to stop.

In order to be able to persevere as much as possible and solve the problem of serious food shortage. When the Fourth Army withdrew to Huludao, it even barely held out until the navy slowly transferred ships to retreat after killing the officers and horses towing the artillery, and greatly reducing the supply standards of the Japanese army.

Although after the withdrawal of the main force of the Fourth Army, the supply pressure on the island was suddenly much less. However, the more than 20,000 troops of the Fourth Army, who only held out in Huludao for three days, had basically consumed the embers of the small amount of grain they had stored. The main force of the army has now gone to the Bohai Dragon King as a guest, but there is not much food left on Hulu Island. At present, Mu Dazuo is facing an embarrassing situation of no reinforcements from outside and no food from inside.

Although the main force of the army left him a large amount of ammunition in order to be lightly armed before evacuating, and left him with the remaining infantry guns and artillery. Ammunition can feed the belly of a weapon, but bullets and shells cannot be eaten as food, and cannons and machine guns cannot be eaten as rice.

Mu Dafu Dazuo knew that if he didn't want to find a way to replenish food, he would die of hunger without starvation in this battle. If you want to continue to persevere, you must first solve the problem of eating. This is even more critical than the number of defenses that the enemy has broken through head-on. So Mu Dafu Dazuo decided to take a gamble.

This is a double-edged sword, taking advantage of the enemy's attempt to land behind his own back to take out the enemy's small fleet. If you win the bet, it can be regarded as opening up the sea route, so that the Kwantung Army can at least replenish some of its own food. If you lose, there's nothing left.

So he tried his best to gamble on Mu Dazuo, and transferred all the artillery that could be transferred, and even secretly transferred all the mountain artillery from the front line. Indeed, several of his main artillery positions were knocked out by the naval guns of the Anti-United Nations. The rest of the artillery was also basically lost on the way to retreat.

Before the main force of the army withdrew, all the firepower above the infantry artillery of the general was left. Therefore, although the large-caliber artillery and the Type 91 howitzer group were defeated, the field artillery group was also wiped out. But at the moment, he still had more than two dozen mountain guns, infantry guns, and mortars, as well as seventeen fifty-millimeter anti-tank guns and a rapid-fire gun.

In order to bet on this, in addition to a few rapid-fire guns in the front, Mu Dafu transferred the only remaining artillery. Despite the lack of armor-piercing shells, he still believed that high-explosive grenades were sufficient for these gunboats. Anyway, for him, there may be hope for a fight. But if you don't fight this one, there is no hope at all.
