It’s not scary to bully people, what’s scary is to go hungry!

At least 1,800 people from the Needle Valley Detachment have allocated more than 600 kilograms of food. No matter how you say it, you can still get more than half a kilogram. It is better to make your stomach calm, which keeps making grunts.

This is also thanks to the artillery soldiers of the Four Army Regiment for blew up more than 100 Japanese troops in one breath, which in a sense eased the allocation crisis of the Needle Valley Detachment.

For the 231 Infantry Regiment surrounded on the other side, the airdrop material battle was even more tragic!

Because of the reward order from the Tang regiment, several infantry regiments had used their troops to capture the Japanese high ground and divided the Japanese positions, which led to a small encirclement in the large encirclement, and many parachutes fell between the Chinese and Japanese positions that were close to the face.

Face against the face on the battlefield means that both sides are within the range of the opponent's rifle. Usually, soldiers on both sides are bent over and nodding without showing them. When the materials fall between the two sides, it naturally means that whoever dares to pick them up is completely under the threat of the opponent's machine rifle.

Usually, these foods are not within the focus of the Japanese army. However, for the soldiers of the 231 Infantry Regiment who are about to be completely out of food and have long begun to reduce the supply of rations by half, that is more valuable than ammunition.

China, which has sufficient logistics supplies, does not have this need. Under the command of the commander, it even began to strafuse and destroy the wooden boxes with mortars and machine guns.

Seeing that the precious food was about to be destroyed by China, the Japanese commander who wanted to wait until the night to use the night to grab the food, finally couldn't help it. He used machine guns and grenade launchers to cover fire and sent infantry to try to drag the supplies back to the position.

Then how could China let the Japanese's idea succeed?

The companies, platoons and squads of the Four Corps basically had walkie-talkies, and they immediately used walkie-talkies to call each company, battalion mortars to shell the supplies and the Japanese army. The infantry also used rifles and machine guns to counterattack the Japanese army 60 times.

Although the 11th Division and 18th Division did not have advanced communication equipment as advanced as the Four-Road Regiment, they also had signal flares. Three red signal flares hit the sky, which was a signal of the Japanese attack. Not only did all infantry go to the front line, but the mountain artillery battalion even pulled off the cannon jackets and shot the prescribed areas according to the front orders, entering a full-scale battlefield state.

For the Japanese army, a tragic "material battle" broke out completely on the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

China and Japan not only invested in infantry, but also used almost all artillery, and the intensity of the artillery fire was no less than when they attacked on the Niuchangpo battlefield.

However, this time the 231 Infantry Regiment was at a complete disadvantage. China invested more than 8,000 infantrymen and nearly 100 artillery types, of which nearly 24 were the 75mm mountain cannon alone.

After the war, this battle broke out due to the Japanese airdropping of supplies was nicknamed by the Tang regiment as the "for stuttering" battle.

Regardless of whether it is military strength or artillery fire, the Japanese side is at a comprehensive disadvantage, so you can also imagine what the final outcome is.

After the war, according to statistics from the war report found from the Japanese Army, the battle that lasted until the early morning saw more than 870 soldiers in the Japanese army and more than 500 seriously injured, but less than a ton of materials could be snatched back.

If compared with the number of casualties and materials, it would be almost a life for 800 grams of food!

The entire 231 Infantry Regiment received only about 3 tons of supplies that day. For Colonel Yamada, who still has more than 3,000 troops, it is actually just a drop in the bucket. It is only enough for the 231 Infantry Regiment to survive for another 2 days.

"It seems that we have to welcome the 11th Army to airdrop."

On the second day after the war, Tang Dao received statistics from various departments to kill Japanese troops. Cai Yongguan, the commander of the 4th battalion, even used a highland Japanese army to seize food too actively, and directly sent a platoon to chase after him. He forced the remaining Japanese troops out of the highland with dense firepower composed of submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles. He suddenly found that this was really a good way.

It is entirely possible to take advantage of the Japanese army's desire for food to lure the Japanese army out of the position and kill them, so that they can also consume the opponent without a strong attack.

Although the senior executives of the theater and the military and political department were eagerly waiting for the Japanese army to surrender, Tang Dao wanted to bury these Japanese troops directly in this mountain as fertilizer.

"At present, Japanese officers and soldiers surrounded by them have begun to lack food. From a humanitarian perspective, in order to avoid more unnecessary casualties, our Chinese officers and soldiers urged the Japanese side to surrender immediately, and we promised to treat prisoners of war preferential treatment. We are even willing to invite personnel from the Western Embassy in our country to arrive at the battle site for supervision, and also asked the War Zone Command to convey our wishes to the Japanese side." The division commander named Hu sent a telegram to the commander of the Third War Zone on the second day after airdropping materials.

This is not a time for China to be proud! If the Western world, especially the Americans, see this scene with their own eyes, would they feel that their investment would have a generous reward? The commander named Chen in the Third War Zone was a famous clever ghost, and immediately smelled the possibility of the greatest benefit of victory from this telegram.

Now China has obtained several low-interest loans from the United States. Although it has taken the mines in Yunnan Province as collateral, the Americans want to get back their principal and interest and even directly gain control of the mines, as long as China can win the national war.

If China loses, not only will the USD of hundreds of millions be gone, but the mortgaged mine can only become a piece of waste paper.

Unless the Japanese collectively show off their heads, they will admit that the ownership rights of these mines belong to China's creditors.

The creditor is the person who most hopes for the debtor to be good, and his care is just as good as his parents.

Therefore, at the invitation of senior officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the United States, the Empire of the Sun never set, and the Embassy of the Gaul Rooster Empire sent military officers and reporters to set off from the mountain city by boat and arrived at the Shipai battlefield on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

"This may not be the most tragic battlefield I have ever seen, but it is definitely the most tragic battlefield I have ever seen. The once arrogant Japanese Imperial Army is like a group of lambs surrounded by wolves on this battlefield.

Due to the lack of food and ammunition, they were no longer able to launch any attack on the Chinese. It was actually only a matter of time before their entire army was wiped out, or it depends on when the Chinese commander decides when to start attacking them.

But obviously, the army colonel named Tang, who was responsible for the siege, was not willing to lose even a soldier because he wanted to end the battlefield as soon as possible. His combat plan was only one word, "trapped". He used guns and cannons to form an indestructible cage, allowing thousands of people to starve to death.

In my telescope's vision, I have seen the remains of at least ten Japanese Army soldiers. For some reason, they died on the hillside, but no one buried them. Perhaps the Japanese army did not dare to leave the position easily, or perhaps there were not many places on their positions to dig the graves.

From a humanitarian perspective, I don't want it to be the latter!

But my wish did not come true!

As one of the special envoys to persuade the Japanese army to surrender, I accompanied Lieutenant Colonel Hausen, the military officer of the German Empire, to enter the position of the 11th Army of Japan, and persuaded Major General Yihara of Neigata to lead his troops to surrender.

That may be the most tragic Army Major General I have ever seen. Lieutenant Colonel Hausen gave a few pieces of chocolate with him as a gift to the sallow-faced Major General Yihara, who had already looked sallow. Major General Neigu ate up the two pieces in just a few seconds and gave the last two pieces to his personal bodyguards.

I never thought that in the East, I could see my eyes emitting green light. Maybe that was my illusion, but the guards stared at the chocolates, like lovers I hadn't seen for years.

Major General Yihara, who had two pieces of chocolate as energy supplement, had enough strength to reply to us at this time. They would not surrender and would continue to fight the Chinese until the last one.

I admire his spirit very much, but his approach is not advisable!

Because, along the way, we have seen too many corpses, most of which have died of injuries and hunger.

No one buried them, and these bodies, which seemed extremely thin due to hunger, were piled together like stacks of firewood in rural China.

Perhaps, it is not that there is not enough space to dig the graves, but that the Japanese who are extremely short of food do not want or cannot waste their already precarious physical strength in digging a large number of graves...

I can guarantee that I did not tell the Chinese about the current situation of the Japanese on the position. To some extent, I began to sympathize with these invaders who were known for their cruelty, because when I saw these Japanese who had to use grassroots and bark as their main food, I even thought I had walked into hell in a trance."

This is the famous Boston Newspaper's record of the Chinese battlefield published on the front page the next day. The narrator is Lieutenant Colonel Frank, a military officer at the Imperial Embassy who personally entered the Japanese position.

According to the description of this lieutenant colonel military officer who participated in World War I, the despair brought to people by the lifeless position can even be compared with the depression of the Battle of Verdun where he participated.

The vast majority of American people who prefer China cheered, believing that this marked a new stage in the Chinese battlefield, and that the retreating Chinese army might counterattack and complete the feat of driving the invaders out of the country.

But on the other side of the ocean, Japan was in an uproar!

The news that the Chinese dispatched troops failed to block the Shipai Battle was not blocked. They were just a simple sentence to explain that they had not fully achieved the pre-war pre-war pre-existing goal. This had little impact on the Japanese people.

The Imperial Army has been playing triumphant songs, and occasionally failing to complete the intended combat objectives, all within acceptable limits.

But I never thought that behind the pre-war pre-war goal was so ugly, thousands of imperial officers and soldiers were trapped in the encirclement of the Chinese, and their situation was so miserable that they were called the most sad battlefield by a foreign Russian, like hell!

That's not bad. The Japanese, who have always been disciplined, especially the college students at school, actually started a march and sat in a quiet demonstration around the palace, hoping to severely punish the frontline generals who did not do anything.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese Army Base Camp immediately ordered the Chinese Expeditionary Army Command to provide sufficient support to the surrounded imperial officers and soldiers.

In Chinese saying, "If you have conditions, you must go up, and if you don't have conditions, you must go up!"

It is in this context that the largest airdrop operation in the history of the Japanese Army took place over a small stone tablet.

From February 5, 1941, on the ninth day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Japanese army assembled and dispatched 40 transport aircraft and 100 Zero fighter jets to carry out the first round of airdrop supply. By February 10, 1941, it almost maintained the intensity of more than 45 tons of airdrop materials per round of airdrops per day, and dispatched hundreds of fighter jets and transport aircraft in succession, with airdropping more than 250 tons of various materials.

It is said that just raising these materials has used the logistics support of a division.

The Japanese were also very excited by American newspapers. For this group of colleagues who were still fighting to the end with hungry eyes, there were more than 100,000 boxes of canned beef, 80,000 kilograms of cooked raw rice, and many milk candies, fresh meat and various vegetables.

Only one-third of these supplies can be reached by the Japanese army, not only can they last ten days and half a month, but they are also absolutely nutritious. They can subsidize half of the fat they consumed before.

But the Japanese people who were only responsible for airdrop supplies did not expect that from the day when airdrop materials were dropped, the famous "for stuttering" battle began.

The soldiers on the high ground fired desperately at the periphery of the wooden boxes scattered in the fields. The gun positions that had been supplemented with shells were smashed into the Japanese army's area where they rushed out of the bunker without any money.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! According to post-war statistics, in the past five days of material battle alone, the entire Chinese side fired 1 million bullets and 4,200 shells. The ammunition consumption was actually more than that of the 11th Division's 4th-day battle for Shipai Central Fortress.

The terrifying ammunition consumption speed was even shocked by the commander Chen who received the report. He couldn't figure out how these bullets and shells were consumed in such a short 5 days.

Didn’t it mean that the Japanese have positions and anti-aircraft holes? Tang Dao, the highest commander of the front line, also ordered that no strong attacks be allowed, so that Mao would consume so much? Could it be that he would have nothing to do to train live ammunition on the mountain?

If he had not trusted the teacher Hu enough, the general Chen even thought that this was a false report of consumption and corruption of materials.

"Report to Chief Chen, this battle is a battle against the Japanese airdrop materials. We have killed at least 2,000 Japanese invaders within five days, and the Japanese army's corpses are everywhere.

At this speed, the Japanese invaders will defeat themselves without attacking each other, and our army will win a great victory soon!" Faced with the doubts of the commander Chen, the division commander Hu called back.

"Not good!" After receiving the telegram, General Chen slapped his thigh.

In 5 days, 2,000 people were killed. How many Japanese in the siege were there? If this continues, it is true that the victory is a complete victory, but don’t think about it if you want the whole world to see thousands of Japanese surrenders.

"In view of the shortage of materials, our troops still use siege as the main and attack as the auxiliary, and try to force the Japanese army to surrender as much as possible!" The general surnamed Chen immediately replied.

"Teacher, Chief Chen has called back. What should we do?" The Major General Chief of Staff handed the telegram to the division commander Hu.

"After the call from the regiment commander Tang, the Zingu Detachment has only three high grounds left, with about 400 on the high ground. He has planned to prepare for artillery fire for 4 hours to launch the final battle against him."

"Let him! The troops invested there are mainly his Four Corps. He will do whatever he says." The division commander named Hu put down his teacup and looked into the distance with bright eyes.

"Stand Master, I'll be back to you next day, but..." Major General Chief of Staff reminded carefully.

"What's the point? I just put forward the suggestions that I should make as a subordinate. The battle against the Japanese invaders is also the most normal tactic. Could it be that our soldiers watched the Japanese eat the fragrant canned beef that fell from the sky? This is unreasonable!" The commander Hu smiled faintly.

"We are soldiers, so we should consider issues from the perspective of the battlefield. Politics is not something we reckless men play with.

By the way, I will tell me to Commander Tang that in the battle to annihilate the Needle Valley Detachment, the artillery battalion belonging to my 18th Army, and request to participate in the war!"

"yes!"

.........

February 6th, the tenth day of the Chinese New Year!

A total of 36 75mm mountain cannons, 8 150 mortars, 6 80mm howitzers, 28 82mm mortars, 40 60mm mortars, and a total of 118 various types of artillery guns, bombarding the three high grounds that the Zhigu Detachment last occupied.

The loud bang that could reach 15 kilometers away lasted from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.!

"Needle Valley Detachment, it's over!" Colonel Yamada Masayoshi looked into the distance and sat dejectedly in the cold trenches.

It’s not just a simple sadness of the rabbit’s death, but the Japanese Army Colonel knew that the next one was about to arrive at his 231st Infantry Regiment.

The only 1,500 people left him could not last for three days even in his prime in the face of such a bombardment.

Not to mention that everyone is hungry now, like a lonely ghost in hell.
