Chapter 175: Running Out of Ammunition and Food

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The sound of explosions continued to sound on the Japanese positions, and the shells of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, as if they did not want money, kept smashing at the Japanese positions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Explosions were everywhere, Japanese soldiers were killed everywhere. Everywhere you go, you can see corpses torn to shreds. The entire area controlled by the Japanese army is like a Shura hell.

The Japanese soldiers cowered in trenches or lay on the ground, looking for shelter everywhere. It's just that the area they now control is almost a river beach. Except for a small patch of woods, the rest are flat tidal flats. As a result, in the face of the shelling and bombardment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they had nowhere to hide at all, and they could only passively bear it.

"Yaga! Why are those people shelling endlessly? Do they want to kill us all by shelling? A Japanese soldier yelled angrily. If he could, he wanted to break out of the trenches and attack. Even if it is death, it must die on the way to the charge. Instead of waiting for when it will be killed by the shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, as it is now.

"Kawaguchi-kun, are we dead? Now that the people of China have surrounded us, they can wipe us out at any time. A young Japanese soldier looked horrified.

"No, Aso-kun, we're not going to die. Amaterasu will bless us and continue to fight with the Shina people. Although, we are surrounded here for the time being. However, Your Excellency the Squad Leader has already said it before. The Southern Army has already sent troops to reinforce us. As long as we persevere, we will soon be saved. When the time comes, we can fight back against the chinas. I swore that before I returned to Japan, I would kill more than twenty Shina with my own hands. Kawaguchi said with an oath.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistling sound came from overhead.

"Damn, the cannonballs of the China." Kawaguchi's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly wanted to run towards the outside of the trench.

However, it was too late. A cannonball, which fell directly on them. After the shell exploded, both Kawaguchi and Aso were blown to pieces.

In the shelling and bombardment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, countless Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded. Of course, those who were injured by the explosion will soon die because of the lack of medicine and treatment.

The casualties of the Japanese army began to skyrocket. And their morale is constantly falling.

"Damn the Chinese people, they don't intend to attack, they are shelling and bombing all the time. Obviously, they want to use their advantage in firepower to get rid of us all. Lieutenant General Aoki's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Their temporary headquarters, located on the edge of a wooded field. Japanese sappers dug an improvised underground bunker here, covered with branches as a camouflage. As long as you are not directly hit by a shell or bomb, there should be no problem in terms of safety.

"Your Excellency, when will our reinforcements arrive?" Lieutenant General Yoshitsumi Akiyama asked. Now, his 54th Division has become the main force of the encircled Japanese army. This also made his voice increase a lot. However, these are simply useless. They will soon be wiped out by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"The reinforcements sent by the general of the temple are already on the way. The 15th Division, the 22nd Division and the 29th Brigade will soon enter Burma. The 46th Division and the 26th Brigade would be taken by boat to Yangon and then supported on our backs. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki replied.

However, how long it will take for those reinforcements to arrive, Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki does not know.

Suddenly, the Japanese generals in the command headquarters all had a trace of doubt in their heads, that is, could they really insist on the arrival of reinforcements? Anyway, they'll all be killed before reinforcements arrive.

"Your Excellency, Commander, generals. There is bad news for everyone. Katakura said suddenly.

"What's the news?" Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki asked with a dark face.

"When we retreated, we gave up not only heavy weapons, but also baggage. So, we're running out of food. I'm afraid I won't have much time left. Katakura said stiffly.

"What?" Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki's face suddenly changed drastically.

The faces of the other Japanese generals also became very ugly.

If it is said that the fierce shelling and bombardment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army caused them heavy losses. However, they are also confident that they will be able to hold on for a while. But without food, the consequences can be severe. At that time, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army will probably starve to death.

"How long can we hold on to our food?" Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki asked.

"Two days, up to three days. The soldiers were running out of dry food on their bodies. Katakura replied.

"No, from now on, the daily food supply will be halved. If we subtract the food that the fallen soldiers had to consume, we should be able to hold out for more than a week. "Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki made a decision.

"Your Excellency, Commander, each soldier is now only entitled to two rice balls per day. If it is halved again, I am afraid that it will not be able to sustain the consumption of one day at all. Katakura was very worried.

At that time, the Japanese soldiers did not have enough to eat and did not have the strength, how could they take their guns and continue to fight?

"Let's arrange it this way. When the time comes, it really won't work, and then find a way. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Katakura nodded and said no more.

Soon, the Japanese soldiers who were holding the line found that they were able to get less and less food. Even from morning to night, there is only one rice ball. Some of the Japanese soldiers were so hungry that they could only drink a few more sips of river water.

As a result, the physical strength of the Japanese soldiers is constantly declining. At the same time, their morale is about to fall to the freezing point.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army still besieged but did not attack, except for shelling and bombing to deal with the Japanese army, it did not send troops to attack at all.

Of course, if the Japanese army wanted to break through, it would be impossible. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also built a simple line of defense 1.5 kilometers outside the Japanese defense line. Although the defense line was simple, coupled with the ferocious firepower of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it could completely prevent the Japanese army from breaking through.

After several attempts, the Japanese failed, and finally had to give up the breakout and continue to be trapped.

Three days later, the Japanese army had already reached the point of running out of ammunition and food. (To be continued.) )
