    His sigh was quite heavy, as if all the anger in his heart was contained in it.

    After saying that, he walked to the topographic map of Baoding City.

    "During this period, we should not relax our attack on Mancheng, but at the same time, we must maintain our offensive on Baoding City and Shangbei County. Once Baoding City and Shangbei County are captured, we will immediately begin to encircle Mancheng.  ." Doihara Kenji said.

    But at this time, Bunzaburo Kawagishi said: "Commander-in-Chief Doihara, I think it might be possible to do it this way. We will attack Kamikoku County first. There is a train station there, and we can transport it from far away from Beiping City.  Soldiers and supplies. As long as Shangbei County is conquered, we can form a siege on Baoding City and Mancheng. It is just a matter of effort."

    Doihara Kenji thought for a while, then asked Kawagishi Bunzaburo: "Your Excellency Bunzaburo, I would like to ask you, how long will it take you to take Kamikita County?"

    Bunzaburo Kawagishi stretched out a finger and said: "One day, that is, tomorrow. Because we found that the defenders in Kamikoku County seemed to have no ammunition! When it rained today, they frequently sent out small groups of troops.  , sneaked into our defense area and searched for the bullets and guns on the corpses of the Chinese soldiers."

    Hearing the news, Doihara was immediately overjoyed.

    Sure enough, the ammunition consumption of the Chinese army in front of us has reached the extreme.

    Without sufficient ammunition, no matter how brave and tenacious this army is, it will surely be destroyed.

    This is a very helpless thing. After all, the upper management of the 59th Army and the 29th Army have almost abandoned them.  Their logistical supplies have been cut off, and the last batch of supplies sent was a train of ammunition shipped from Shijiazhuang.  That was already five days ago.

    "They have reached a dead end. They will step up their offensive against Kamikoku County and must take down this important defensive fulcrum." Kenji Doihara slapped the table and said.

    The corners of Kawagishi Bunzaburo's mouth raised and he said: "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief Doihara, our sun flag will be flying in this area tomorrow."

    As he spoke, his fingers rested on the sand table, at the location of Shangbei County.

    The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the morning sun once again rose from the eastern horizon.  In the early morning mist, the Japanese army began a large-scale assembly in Beicheng, Shangbei County.

    Cao Bohan, the commander of the 178th Division, was awakened by the rumbling sound of Japanese artillery.

    In the past few days of fighting, he didn't get a good rest.  The Japanese army stopped attacking yesterday, and he had a good rest all day.

    His staff officer Ren Haojie ran over at this time and said: "Commander, the Japs have begun to attack us. The 11th Company and the 199th Battalion that are holding firm at the train station can no longer hold on."

    Cao Boyan grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, then stood up with difficulty from the ground, held on to his military cap and said: "Let's go! Bring the people from the guard camp, we will go to support the train station, and you can't let anything happen."  The little devils took over the train station."

    Hearing this, Ren Haojie and several staff officers around him stopped talking.

    Cao Bohan looked at them, widened his eyes and asked, "What the hell are you doing standing still? Are you waiting for the little Japs to rush in and capture the prisoners?"

    It was only then that Ren Haojie reminded Cao Bohan: "Commander, you have forgotten that the night before yesterday, our guard camp was wiped out by the little devils. They all died at the train station."

    When he said this, Ren Haojie's eyes also shone with tears.

    The death squads formed by the guard battalion at that time took back the train station from the hands of the Japanese army after making huge sacrifices.  However, the entire guard battalion was destroyed, and only a dozen soldiers survived in the end.

    Cao Bohan then gave a wry smile, then took out the box from his waist and said, "We can't just stay there. Which unit still has fighting capacity? Let's rush over."

    After saying that, he led the staff and rushed outside the air-raid shelter.

    The speed of Shangbei County¡¯s fall far exceeded Cao Bohan¡¯s imagination.

    They have reached the point where they are running out of ammunition and food. Each soldier has less than five bullets on average.  The little devil charged down and ran out of bullets.

    What should I do after the fight is over?  You can't just stand there and wait to get shot.

    So these soldiers charged towards the Japanese army, rifles with bayonets fixed, hoping to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japs.

    But the little devils were not stupid, so they set up machine guns and fired at the charging National Army soldiers.  A lotThe Japanese soldiers were already killed by the Japanese bullets before they even touched the little Japanese's body.

    Thousands of people in the 178th Division were destroyed bit by bit under the repeated fire of Japanese machine guns and rifles.

    The fall of the train station was very quick, taking only an hour.  The Japanese army had completely occupied this place, and the 178th Division no longer had the power to organize a counterattack due to lack of ammunition.

    Cao Bohan stood on a high-rise building in the last block still under the control of the national army, using his binoculars to look at the Japanese troops gathering not far away.

    Carrying the sun flag, they began to attack this neighborhood along the streets filled with ruins, preparing to launch the final attack.

    This neighborhood is backed by the South Gate of Shangbei County, and they can retreat from here.

    Cao Bohan took the flower trap from the guard beside him and said to Ren Haojie: "Advisor Ren, you and your brothers will retreat first. The soldiers from the guard camp and the third company will all stay. We will cover their retreat."

    Ren Haojie looked at Cao Bohan and couldn't say a word for a long time.

    This teacher did not break his promise. He really planned to personally cover the retreat of the large army and live or die with the whole city.

    "What are you doing standing still! Take the brothers and leave quickly!" Cao Bohan raised his hands and shouted loudly.

    Ren Haojie took a deep breath, then glanced at the guard next to him, and said loudly: "Take the division commander and take him away. The third company, follow me to stop the little devil!"

    When he said this, there was a look of determination in his eyes.

    Before Di Bohan could react, two ropes were already wrapped around his body.  Although he struggled hard, his fists were no match for his four hands, so he was tied up by the soldiers, put on a stretcher, and carried outside the city.

    Seeing that Master Cao was being carried away, Ren Haojie threw his hat on the ground and said to the soldiers left in the room: "Brothers, let's go to the South City Gate and guard the South City Gate. Leave it to Master and the others to retreat.  Leave time!"

    After saying that, he led his soldiers and rushed towards the south gate.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
