Chapter 230: Breaking the Record

For Han Renhe's persuasion, knowing that he was reminding himself that it was very important for these people to pay attention to the safety of these people, Du Kaishan nodded and said, "You old Han, you can do whatever you want." Those precious pimples of No. 1 are placed here with me, what are you worried about. I'm a person who spits a nail in one mouthful, and what I promise you is that the sky falls, and I will find a way to do it. ”

Du Kaishan made a promise, and Han Renhe didn't say anything more, just smiled bitterly a few times and turned around to leave. After all, the war is raging here, and it's not good to delay too much time here. Now that you're done, it's time to return to headquarters to report. As for whether No. 1 will get angry, it's not something he can control.

Looking at Han Renhe's back, Du Kaishan also shook his head slightly. I feel that this guy is thinking too much. With all the time to guess what was going on in One's mind, it would be better to spend more energy on the battlefield. This is what a soldier should do in wartime.

However, although he was very dissatisfied with some of Han Renhe's practices. But for Han Renhe's reminder, Du Kaishan did not forget it. The guard staff officer of his headquarters was called over, and he was repeatedly told to protect those technicians and rush to the front line of the stable. Han Ren and the two squads of the squadron left for him were directly used as guards for these people.

He also urged the troops in Qikou to speed up the progress of the remnants of the enemy and make room for those who were cleaning up the battlefield at sea. At the same time, he also personally called the Bohai Naval Region and communicated with the commander of the Bohai Naval Region on the cooperation with these people. After all, their troops are a group of landlubbers, and when they really go to the sea, they have to count on those who were born and grew up by the sea.

If you have never seen what kind of troops the sea is like before, if you go to the sea without a certain amount of training. At least half of them are good if they can go to sea without getting seasick. Therefore, Du Kaishan still personally communicated with the commander of the Bohai Naval Region on this matter.

But for him, that's the end of it. He's going to keep an eye on it, but at least not to put too much effort into it for now. For Du Kaishan, he also needs to focus more on the war in front of him. Putting down the phone in his hand, he put his mind back on the battlefield.

And during the conversation between Du Kaishan and Han Renhe, the battle situation of the entire Qikou battlefield was also in constant change with the advancement of time. The Sanhuzhuang front line has been disrupted, and the 44th Division has completely lost the will to resist. After most of the officers who maintained their combat effectiveness were killed, the remaining troops could not withstand the onslaught of the tanks of the Anti-United Nations in turn.

By dawn of the battle, the final defense of the 92nd Wing of the 44th Division and the 1st Division of the 9th Division had completely collapsed. The remaining two or three hundred Japanese troops, like headless flies, desperately broke through to the Qikou battlefield in the east with a messy formation. The idea is to try to find a way to escape in the encirclement of the anti-union in person.

However, in the face of the dense firepower of the surrounding anti-coalition forces, its attempt to find a gap to break through the encirclement was unsuccessful. made the already low morale even more depressed. The remaining hundreds of remnants of the 92nd Wing were defeated, could no longer withstand the opponent's offensive, and completely lost the courage to resist.

After a night of fierce fighting, the tank offensive of the Anti-United Nations has completely broken their will. In the case of most of the officers above the rank of junior officer killed in battle, a small number of them are missing. Except for a small number of scattered personnel, the 92nd Wing, which had actually lost its command, finally became a remnant of the formation, and under the leadership of a captain, finally chose to lay down its arms and surrender.

These divisions were not as tenacious as other divisions and regiments, and after the organized resistance completely collapsed, and most of the officers above the rank of junior commander were killed in battle, they had completely lost the courage to resist. Surrendering to save their lives actually became the first choice of these Osaka soldiers, but no one took the lead before, and they were somewhat reserved.

After all, for these Osaka soldiers, the honor of the Imperial Army is still somewhat necessary, and it is still a little embarrassing to surrender first. Of course, this so-called imperial army honor is nothing more than a fart for them. In fact, these guys are more worried about whether their lives will be in danger after they surrender.

Although veterans who have returned from the army have said that the Chinese treat the captured Japanese soldiers quite well compared with the Japanese army's treatment of the captured Chinese. But these Japanese soldiers still have some worries in their hearts. However, when the first person to eat crabs appeared, and the last bit of fig leaf was torn off, other problems naturally ceased to be a problem.

With the appearance of the first person to lay down his arms, the last remaining remnants of the Ninety-second Wing were like they had an infectious disease. These survivors who survived the fierce battle after a night of fierce fighting, after having a leader, naturally did not hesitate at all, and raised the white flag one after another to disarm and surrender.

On the battlefield east of Sanhuzhuang, the remnants of the 93rd Wing, which was divided and surrounded in a few small villages, were also under the support of the tanks and artillery of the Bohai Naval Region, which was supported by tanks and artillery, launched a continuous strong attack, although it was still struggling. But the strength of resistance is getting weaker and weaker.

The troops of the Bohai Naval Region that participated in the battle gave full play to the characteristics of the North China troops that were good at close combat and night combat. Adopt the method of attacking in multiple ways, copying in all directions, and eating meat before gnawing bones after dividing and surrounding. Solved the 93rd Wing by the anti-Union tank troops, and gave most of the remaining troops.

Although in terms of firepower, the troops of the Bohai Naval Region are inferior to the Anti-United Nations. However, a considerable number of miner-turned-fighters in the military region are quite slippery with this explosive. There weren't many standard explosives before, and the power of black powder was not enough, so these cadres and soldiers had no place to play their skills.

This time, the Anti-United Nations replenished a large number of high-explosive explosives at one time, and these troops had nothing to take care of. The troops participating in the battle adopted the method of continuous blasting and assault under the cover of firepower. Without the cover of tanks, it took only one and a half hours to open the Shili River, which was held by the largest force among the remnants of the 93rd Wing.

After opening the hastily constructed defensive line of the Japanese army at Shilihe, a regiment of the Bohai Naval Region participating in the battle concentrated the strength of a reinforced battalion with bayonets, with submachine gunners and an assault group equipped with a large number of grenades as the first commando, and the main force pressed on the entire line behind them. Under the cover of the recoilless guns reinforced by the Anti-Japanese Union and the light and heavy machine guns behind them, they all broke into Shilihe Village and opened street battles and close combat with the remaining Japanese troops.

After the fierce fighting in the middle of the night, although it paid the price of eighty percent of the casualties of the assault battalion. But it also completely defeated the enemy of Shilihe, who accounted for the remnants of the 93rd Wing and nearly two-thirds of the troops. At the same time as the whole army of the enemy at the Shili River was annihilated, more than 100 remnants of the enemy who were divided into Dengjiazhuang in the northwest of the Shili River were basically wiped out.

With the remnants of the enemy on the Shilihe and Dengjiazhuang lines being finally cleared, the remnants of about a squadron of about a squadron trapped on the Xiaoxinzhuang line were defeated and completely isolated. The Japanese troops of this unit were trapped in the palm-sized village of Xiaoxinzhuang, with no reinforcements, no food, and no ammunition inside, and they were already in a state of internal and external difficulties.

Du Kaishan, who did not want to continue to waste materials and energy on these people, after receiving a report on the battle situation in the Bohai Naval Region, in order to reduce the casualties of the Bohai Naval Region and speed up the progress of the battle, mobilized three artillery battalions and one tank battalion from among the troops that had completed the Sanhuzhuang operation, and rushed to the front line of Xiaoxinzhuang.

After the arrival of the transferred troops, Du Kaishan took advantage of the characteristics of the 44th Division that he had mastered in the previous battles, as well as the weakness of the weak will to fight. An ultimatum was issued to the Japanese troops trapped in Xiaoxinzhuang. Even bluffing and intimidating demanded that the ministry disarm and surrender within ten minutes, otherwise Xiaoxinzhuang would be directly razed to the ground.

In fact, Du Kaishan shook his head a little against the Bohai Naval Region and the battle fought in the Shili River. Indeed, he only mobilized one 105 howitzer company and two 76-mm cannon batteries to support him. However, for the 93rd Wing, the fire support provided by the newly formed mortar battalion and mountain artillery battalion directly under the Bohai Naval Region was sufficient.

In addition to the light and heavy machine guns provided by the Anti-Union, as well as ample ammunition. With so much fire support, there was simply no need to fight such a battle in this battle. Two-thirds of the casualties of a full-fledged battalion are a bit too high. These are all veterans, that's definitely a treasure, just such casualties here are really a bit of a waste, and they can be solved with firepower.

However, how the Bohai Naval Region is determined to fight and how to command tactically, Du Kaishan is not easy to interfere with. After all, it is a brother unit, and although it is subordinate to its own command, it is only subordinate to it. Because of his unfavorable cooperation with his brother troops, he has already been criticized by No. 1, and he doesn't want to fall on this issue again.

Fearing that the Bohai Naval Region would come to the last battle in a good way, knowing that if the brother troops were exhausted, No. 1 would still criticize Du Kaishan, so he simply directly mobilized a large amount of firepower and adopted the method of forcing the Japanese troops trapped in Xiaoxinzhuang to surrender. If they refuse, simply finish them out with shells. Anyway, there are not many of the remaining people in the captive group, and there are not many of them.

Facing the black pressure gun group composed of dozens of large-caliber guns in front of him, as well as dozens of tanks in front of him. The last strength of the 93rd Wing no longer has the will to fight. After the ultimatum of the Anti-United Nations was issued, there was no choice to resist in the end. Instead, under the leadership of a lieutenant officer, they chose to lay down their arms altogether.

The Japanese army on the front line of Xiaoxinzhuang chose to surrender, which means that on the front line of Qikou battlefield, the Japanese army invested the 44th division of the two divisions, and the whole army has been destroyed. And with the cessation of the resistance of the Japanese army in Xiaoxinzhuang, Du Kaishan also completed the first combat goal of breaking off the enemy at Qikou and the two crab claws.

In the battle against the 44th Division, Du Kaishan can be said to have broken two records in a row. One is to complete the total annihilation of a division of the Japanese army in the shortest possible time. It took less than 50 hours from the beginning of the ground battle to the complete annihilation of the remnants of two wings and one wing of the 44th Division.

The second is probably that in this battle, the number of prisoners was high, and it also set a record. In this battle against the 44th Division, nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers were captured. It also created the highest number of Japanese soldiers captured by the Anti-Japanese Federation in a single operation. This result was not even expected by Du Kaishan before the war.

In addition to the more than 600 Japanese troops who surrendered in the two battlefields of Xiaoxinzhuang and Sanhuzhuang, after Du Kaishan's tank troops broke the main force of the 93rd Wing, more than 300 Japanese troops scattered and fled were captured only between Shilihe and Sanhuzhuang. At the same time, during the first day of the day and the night battle that followed, more than 300 Japanese soldiers were captured one after another.

And when the battlefield was cleaned up after the war, more than 500 people who were scattered were captured one after another. Catching so many prisoners in one battle was not only unexpected by the troops participating in the battle, but even Du Kaishan was a little surprised. He couldn't even believe it, was this still a fucking Japanese army that had always been known for its tenacity?
