Du Kaishan felt that when he fought against their big brother, the Fourth Division, he had never captured so many people at one time. It is true that the Fourth Division is not strong in its will to fight, but it is not so weak as this. When the shape shì was unfavorable, it also repeatedly broke through.

When he lost the breakout, he also stubbornly insisted on resisting. It is definitely much more tenacious than this 44th Division. This time, the little devil laid down his arms in a systematic manner, which was the strength of nearly two squadrons. Even those scattered stragglers were found to have come over and surrender their guns without calling themselves.

It wasn't until the interrogation report was handed in that Du Kaishan knew that these guys hadn't eaten a bite of food since the day they landed, and all the supplies were thrown on the beachhead, and several villages on the Qikou battlefield that were controlled by the Japanese army were also cleared quite completely, not to mention that there was not a single grain of grain to be found. Even the wells are all blocked, or the ideas are polluted.

And on the shores of the Bohai Sea, where brackish water is everywhere, although there is water, it is not easy to find fresh water to drink. The wells were either filled in or filled with stinky fish and shrimp, and even human and animal feces. In the entire battlefield around dozens of square kilometers, there is not even a single person.

If you don't surrender, you can only die of thirst and starvation around the battlefield. It's still unacceptable to die in battle, let alone starve to death and die of thirst here? Those hungry and thirsty stragglers didn't need to be found, and in the face of the anti-Japanese alliance and the sweeping troops of the Bohai Naval Region, they took the initiative to come to the door and surrender.

In addition to the seven or eight hundred people captured by the 93rd Wing, so many Japanese soldiers were captured on the front line of Sanhuzhuang. All of them made him a little suspicious that his aerial firepower strike had played a big role? Otherwise, how could a reinforced wing of more than 4,000 people capture so many Japanese troops at once?

The 92nd Wing of the Japanese Army on the entire Sanhuzhuang line, plus the 1st Division of the 9th Division, totaled more than 5,000 troops. Under the attack of so many planes and a large number of artillery fire, there were still so many people surviving, and the number of captured accounted for nearly a quarter of the total strength, which made him have a trace of doubt about the cost-effectiveness of his fire deployment for the first time. w?

In fact, the number of Japanese prisoners who appeared this time was so large, Du Kaishan was not surprised. The Japanese front was stretched too long, and after many years of fighting, the loss of living forces was too great. After many large-scale mobilizations, the quality of the troops that can be mobilized in the country has been declining.

The 44th Division was mobilized and formed by the Osaka Division, and although this number was high, it was only completed in the early 44th year. Prior to the formation of the 44th Division, in addition to the 4th Division, the Osaka Division also successively formed three divisions, including the 104th Division, the 34th Division, and the 68th Division.

Except for the 104th Division, which was the first batch of special divisions mobilized by the Japanese army after the outbreak of the full-scale war of aggression against China, the remaining two divisions were formed in 42 and last year. In addition to the additional troops mobilized for the 4th Division, and the 94th Division was formed in the same batch, which was also based on the Osaka Division. The elite soldiers and strong generals who were in the right years before had long been mobilized to the battlefield.

The rest are veterans of the second or even third mobilization, as well as the staff, vendors, and students who were eliminated from the first three mobilizations. If the Fourth Division is a merchant division, it is full of bargaining, only thinking about taking advantage and not wanting to suffer losses. Then this 44th Division can be called composed of old fritters among the vendors.

These people drag their families one by one, and with the nature of the people of Osaka, it's no wonder that they can fight to the death. But in any case, it was strictly trained by the Japanese army. It's one thing to have a weak will to fight, but the military literacy is generally good. In the case of saving their lives first, some people will always find ways to protect themselves. So at the moment, there is no need to make a fuss about Du Kaishan.

However, for Du Kaishan, although the number of prisoners was a bit surprising, the 44th Division was completely annihilated, and the Japanese marines on Sun Zhengzhuang's front line also stopped resisting, and his first phase of combat objectives was completed. The remaining Ninth Division, which was still struggling on the front line of Tiger Wolf Village, had basically become a lone army.

After completing the operation against the 44th Division, Du Kaishan did not hesitate and immediately joined the troops fighting against the 44th Division to the siege of Tiger Wolf Village. At the same time, all the artillery in his hands was transferred to the front line of Tiger Wolf Village, preparing to clean up the last mess and completely solve the Japanese headquarters that landed at Qikou.

Du Kaishan was ready for the final general attack on the Ninth Division, and was trapped on the front line of Tiger Wolf Village, after hearing the gunfire in the direction of the two wings of the Three Tiger Village and Sun Zhengzhuang, which was completely calmed down one after another. Knowing that those two directions may have been completed, and knowing that he has become a lone lieutenant general, there is nothing he can do in the face of the dilemma in front of him.

It's not that he didn't think about breaking through, but breaking through in that direction is not something that the Ninth Division can do at the moment. Even if Xiang **wei ran to the sea, all the ships of the navy and army were either sunk or destroyed in Bohai Bay, or they had already retreated, and there were no ships to carry them away.

Break through to the north, which is the depth of the enemy-occupied area. With the small remaining strength of the Ninth Division at the moment, it would be self-defeating to break through to the north. Breaking through to the south, the friendly forces were still on the Leling line hundreds of miles away. Even if the 120th Division and its own strategic cooperation to a certain extent would not be able to cope with and support itself at all.

The most important thing is that his troops are all infantry, on the terrain of the Bohai Plain in this Ma Pingchuan. Even if you can break through the enemy's encirclement, it is impossible to outrun the enemy's tank mechanized cluster. If the breakthrough is under the condition that the morale of the army is scattered, once the enemy is caught up by the enemy on the plain terrain, exposure to the bare plain can only die faster. Racing on the plains with clusters of enemy tanks is something that only fools do.

But the friendly forces on both flanks had been wiped out, and now the only thing left was nominally a division, but in reality it was only a reinforced wing. Continuing to be trapped on the front line of Tiger Wolf Village, facing the attack of the enemy army that has completed the U-turn, it is just a little more delay. Once the enemy's hundreds of tanks are pressed on all fronts, they will also crush this little bit of their own troops into pulp.

Previously, the enemy army only adopted the tactic of encroachment, and did not focus on the main direction of attack on their own. However, after dozens of hours of fierce fighting, the troops in his hands have been continuously weakened by the enemy's tank and armor clusters, and one-third of the troops have been lost, and there is not much heavy firepower left.

The remaining troops of less than 3,000 have lost all support and response, and how long they can hold out, the Ninth Division, from top to bottom, does not have the slightest confidence. The most important thing is that there is not much ammunition to carry on the road, and after dozens of hours of fierce fighting, the embers have basically been consumed, and everyone knows that the Ninth Division continues to resist, but it is just a matter of prolonging hunger.

Moreover, the limited supplies have consumed the embers, and the remaining troops are trapped in this Bohai Bay Plain, unable to even drink saliva, and even if the enemy attacks if they hold on, they will starve and the remaining people will starve to death. Can't fight, can't defend, can't escape, that's the situation faced by the Ninth Division of Tiger Wolf Village.

Lieutenant General Hara, who was helpless in the face of the current situation, looked at the enemy troops on the opposite side within reach of his telescope, and it could almost be said that he was adjusting his troops unscrupulously. A large number of tank mechanized units drove over from both flanks of the battlefield in front of forward observation posts.

Knowing that the enemy army launched another attack this time, I am afraid that it will not be the small-scale multi-way attack and gradual encroachment like before. I am afraid that when the cannon fire is fired once, the enemy attack will be overwhelming. The enemy has mobilized so many troops and equipment, and this is about to be the final word.

It's just that the enemy army is blatantly mobilizing troops in front of his eyes, but Lieutenant General Hara Shou and his subordinates are basically helpless. The entire Ninth Division now has very little ammunition left on hand. Not to mention a large-scale tactical counterattack, that is, an enemy attack, it is estimated that it will last less than half an hour, and all the ammunition will be exhausted.

Even at present, the chief of staff of the Ninth Division, Kakura Raharu Osa, has ordered all the remaining ammunition to be concentrated for some light and heavy machine guns. Fortunately, the three main infantry weapons of the 9th Division can be used in terms of ammunition. If you change to a Type 38 rifle, Taisho 11 or Type 96 light machine gun, and add the configuration of the 92 heavy machine gun, I am afraid that the heavy machine gun will have to run out of food.

However, even if all the ammunition is concentrated on a limited number of machine guns. However, the Japanese troops on the front line of Tiger Wolf Village were still extremely embarrassed in terms of ammunition. The two heavy machine guns had only three bullet protection plates each, and the five Type 99 light machine guns each had five full magazines. The Type 99 rifles, which were the most heavily armed, left only five rounds each.

The grenadier grenades were all converted to hand grenades, and in this way, only five people could be distributed. Of the few remaining artillery pieces, none of them had to blow off the latch with a grenade. And the bazooka issued as a new weapon because it is a one-time weapon. After dozens of hours of fierce fighting, the rockets and disposable launchers have also consumed embers.

The most important thing is that these bazookas, which have a maximum effective range of only 30 meters, have not had time to play much role at all. It was impossible to penetrate it from a distance, and when it reached the calibrated range, the enemy infantry had already beaten the bazooka hand into a hornet's nest. The enemy's infantry and tanks are extremely tightly coordinated, leaving this kind of bazooka with a range of only 30 meters, and there are not many opportunities to use it.

Moreover, this kind of bazooka is fired once, and the bazooka is scrapped immediately, and it can no longer be reloaded at all. In the absence of new replenishment, or sufficient stockpiles, these weapons are depleted quite quickly. After dozens of hours of fierce fighting, the Ninth Division consumed all the bazookas in its hands, and its achievements were pitiful.

Hundreds of rocket launchers damaged only five enemy tanks. The results achieved were not as large as those of the 50-mm anti-tank guns, which had only a few shells. This result made Lieutenant General Hara Mori quite disappointed with this weapon that had high hopes for the base camp.

In the face of an unfavorable situation, and with the exception of a small number of 50mm anti-tank guns, there was little helplessness against the rampaging enemy tank groups. The new weapons, which had been pinned on high hopes, were not able to play a role at all. In his heart, Lieutenant General Yuan Shou scolded the weapons research and development department of the base camp more than once.

If the base camp had been able to deviate less in the research and development of weapons, there would not have been a situation in which this so-called new weapon is not as good as a meat bullet. If you have the kung fu to import such flashy weapons from Germany, it is better to concentrate on copying the weapons of these opponents in person.

The armor-piercing thickness is more than 100 millimeters, and the effective range is only 30 meters. With such a close firing distance, you are a fool when you are an infantryman. What weapons are in the hands of enemy infantry? The rate of fire has caught up with the light machine gun, and with such a large fire density, it takes 30 meters to fire, so isn't it sent to the door to be used as a target for others?
