    "Three hundred and seventy people died and 542 were injured." Ma Siyuan said, "This is a combination of the casualty reports from the Eighth Route Army and our own casualty reports. There should be no mistakes.  .¡±

    "Nearly a thousand casualties." When Xia Yang heard those numbers, his heart throbbed.  Those were the elite soldiers he had trained, and they all fell on this land overnight.  There are even many corpses of cavalry regiment soldiers among them, which are still in the valley below and cannot be collected yet.

    "The Japanese casualties were greater, probably about three times ours. And the longer it takes, the better it is for us, because there is no water source in this valley. In the morning, I saw some Japanese soldiers who had begun to collect water.  Snow, and then boiled it before drinking. It seems that the water they carried with them is gone," Ma Siyuan said.

    Xia Yang looked at the snow under the valley and found that there were indeed many places with exposed stones and earth. Apparently the Japanese army gathered all the snow together and then melted it in a pot to use it as drinking water.

    But that boiled water is for the wounded soldiers to drink.  The Japanese soldiers who were not injured just grabbed the snow on the ground and stuffed it directly into their mouths.  But there are only so many in these snow-covered valleys. With so many thousands of people each grabbing a handful, that's basically enough. What's more, due to trampling, the snow in many places no longer exists.

    "In two days at most, they will be in a very embarrassing position due to lack of water. Attacking them at that time will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort." Ma Siyuan said.

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "There is news from Xiongfengling that the Japs' night attack failed last night. The ammunition of the 114th Division is now insufficient. It is estimated that the next wave of empty supplies from the Japs will take two days to arrive.  Before that, it was impossible for the Japanese 114th Division to break through the Xiongfeng Ridge defense line.

    We now have about three more days to have fun with these little devils from the 16th Division.  "

    "Then shall we attack them during the day?" Ma Siyuan said.

    Xia Yang said with a smile: "Brothers have been fighting continuously and haven't slept well for several days. Let them have a good rest. But please inform the troops surrounding the Japanese 16th Division not to relax their vigilance. I am worried about the Japanese divisions."  The regiment headquarters will take advantage of this opportunity and break out at all costs."

    "Then we just rest during the day?" Ma Siyuan asked.

    Xia Yang said: "Let the brothers rest, and I will persuade the little Japanese to surrender."

    "Persuade to surrender? Even the little Japs won't surrender! It's not like you don't know that the little Japs are very stubborn. They are all as stubborn as donkeys." Ma Siyuan said.

    Xia Yang chuckled and said: "You don't understand this, right? This is psychological warfare. Even if they can't make them surrender, it will still damage their morale. At this time, the Japanese army is already defeated. If their morale is hit again,  With the blow, combined with the shortage of water, they will collapse faster."

    Ma Siyuan said: "I see, those loudspeakers you prepared are just for psychological warfare against them."

    Xia Yang nodded, and then walked to the front of the loudspeaker on the position.

    Xia Yang had people connect those loudspeakers with wires, and loudspeakers were also placed in several other locations in the valley.

    Xia Yang cleared his throat, and then began to persuade the Japanese troops to surrender in Japanese: "Soldiers of the 30th Brigade, your division commander will not come to rescue you again. The 114th Division you are counting on will not come either.  . Until now, have you found any reinforcements arriving here?"

    His words were successfully transmitted to the ears of the Japanese soldiers through the loudspeakers scattered throughout the valley.

    The Japanese soldiers who were still sleeping were awakened by the high decibel volume.

    Sasaki raised his head and looked at the surrounding hillside positions, but did not find the person who was speaking.

    "Soldiers, you can't escape. You can only wait for death. But we treat prisoners preferentially. As long as you are willing to hand over your guns and surrender, we will never hurt you. On the contrary, you will stay in our prisoner of war camp for a while, maybe.  It can also make you gain a few pounds." Xia Yang held a big loudspeaker and leaned against the trench, where he kept shouting to the Japanese soldiers in Japanese.

    Xia Yang knew that if he persuaded the Japanese to surrender in this way, it would be impossible for these little devils to surrender.  Only in a truly desperate situation, or if the emotions of these Japanese troops completely collapse, otherwise the success rate of persuading them to surrender is almost zero.

    ¡°If they can besiege the Japanese troops here for a month, let them run out of food and water, and then persuade them to surrender when they are starving and unable to charge, then there is still a certain chance.  No??That was until the Japanese soldiers were almost starved to death, and the remaining defeated soldiers were extremely weak.

    Soon, the Japanese army also began to counterattack.  However, their counterattack was not a long live charge, but Sasaki Toichi also set up a big horn and counterattacked directly at Xia Yang.

    "Your army fought fiercely, but our Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire has never surrendered once in the dictionary. Although our army is trapped here at this time, friendly forces will come to support immediately. On the contrary, you, in such a large-scale battle,  I'm afraid that the logistics supplies cannot be followed up at all. In a few days at most, you will run out of ammunition and food. Until then, you cannot defeat us, and victory belongs to us.

    Our 114th Division will come out from behind you and annihilate you all in the Wutai Mountain area.  "Sasaki shouted.

    His words were not only meant for Xia Yang, but also for the Japanese soldiers who were besieged.  He needs his soldiers to maintain confidence in victory.  If these soldiers no longer have the confidence to win, then this battle will really be over.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
