Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

Chapter 449 Let’s build the prisoner-of-war camp ourselves!

"Do you want to surrender? Or do you want to continue fighting?" Bu La frowned, his face full of impatience. Looking at the Italian officer in front of him, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly.

He thought to himself that the Italian army was changing its policies one moment and then another, and it was really annoying. Today he had to make them give a clear explanation.

"If you want to fight, then go back and continue fighting. My reinforcements will be here soon." Bu La crossed his arms over his chest and said in a firm tone. There was an unquestionable momentum in his eyes, as if he was telling the other side that if they really wanted to fight, he was not afraid because the reinforcements would be here soon.

"If you want to surrender, then surrender quickly." Bu La added this sentence immediately. He didn't want to waste time and drag it out with the other party. It was either to fight or to surrender. He had to make a decision quickly.

Hearing this, the Italian officer was stunned at first, obviously not expecting that Bu La would throw out such a "multiple choice question" so directly, and was a little unresponsive for a while. But soon, he came to his senses, and then asked with a face full of horror: "Are your reinforcements coming?" The voice was trembling slightly because of fear, and his eyes were full of panic and worry.

"Yes." Bu La looked at the other person with confusion, not knowing why he was so frightened.

In Bu La's opinion, although Yao Ma led an infantry division, it was only composed of a group of natives and its combat effectiveness was not high. The truly elite troops did not come at all and were still undergoing adaptive training at the base.

According to Cun Yunsheng, the elite troops must be kept for use at critical moments. It is enough to test these natives now, even if they are completely wiped out.

To put it bluntly, Cun Yunsheng felt that the command level of the people in the cannon fodder group was not very high.

After all, their previous opponents were mostly the Japanese army, and the combat areas were mostly jungle areas. In that environment, it was impossible to deploy too many troops, so the military level that could be trained would naturally not be too high.

But it’s different now. Here we are fighting in a large-scale military environment, which is very different from fighting in the jungle before.

Here, the military level that can be naturally honed will also be improved accordingly.

However, Cun Yunsheng was naturally reluctant to use the elite troops for training. After all, the elite troops had been trained with a lot of effort. It would be a pity if there were any losses here.

So after much selection, we finally decided that these natives were suitable, so we let them come and participate in the combat and accumulate experience.

"I understand. I will convey your request to our commander." The Italian officer looked a little flustered. After saying this in a hurry, he turned around and left. His steps seemed a little hurried, as if he didn't want to stay any longer, for fear that Bu La would ask him something again.

Perhaps after the Italian army's previous erratic behavior, he had become accustomed to this situation. This time, Bu La seemed very calm. Looking at the Italian officers' departing backs, he just shook his head slightly and didn't say anything more. He was thinking, let's see how they would respond next.

Not long after, Yao Ma arrived at his command center.

As soon as he entered the door, Yao Ma punched Bula without saying a word. The punch was not very strong, but more like an intimate and teasing way of greeting.

"You fought well in this battle. Even the commander praised you." Yao Ma said with a smile, his face full of envy.

There was praise for Bu La in his tone, but also a hint of regret that he himself did not receive this praise. In his opinion, Bu La's performance on the battlefield this time must have been very outstanding, and it was not easy to receive praise from the commander.

"Really?" Bula widened his eyes and asked in surprise.

He really couldn't believe it. After all, although there were wins and losses in the battles in the past, it was not common to get praise from the commander. So when he heard Yao Ma say this, he was surprised and happy, and even suspected that Yao Ma was joking with him.

"Of course, would I lie to you?" Yao Ma glared at Bu La unhappily. Why would I lie to you about such a good thing? Everything I said is absolutely true.

At the same time, he thought to himself, how nice it would be if he could get the commander's praise like Bu La, but he continued to joke with Bu La and share the joy.

"By the way, the commander said that the Italian army may surrender." Yao Ma seemed to have suddenly remembered something important and said hurriedly, with a serious look in his eyes. After all, this was key information related to the next combat arrangements and he had to tell Bula quickly.

"Surrender?" When Bula heard this, his eyes widened and his face was full of astonishment. He never thought that the Italian army might actually surrender. He had been fighting with them on the battlefield before, and this change was too sudden.

"Really?" Bula still couldn't believe it and asked again. He was wondering in his heart that the Italian army's thoughts were really hard to figure out. Their attitude was unclear before, but now they announced that they wanted to surrender. It was really surprising.

"It should be true. What the commander said cannot be wrong." Yao Ma nodded very confidently. He had complete faith in the commander. Since the commander said so, this matter was most likely reliable, so he hurried to tell Bula.

Hearing this, Bu La couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He began to carefully think about the expression of the Italian officer just now, and recalled the terrified look on the other side's face when he heard that reinforcements were coming. He wondered in his heart, could it be that the other side had already planned to surrender at that time?

"If that's the case, I'm afraid we really have to surrender." Bu La murmured to himself. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. The reaction of the Italian officer at that time was really wrong. Now combined with the news from the commander, it seems that surrender is most likely true.

Then, Bula told Yao Ma everything that had just happened, including his conversation with the Italian officer and the other party's series of reactions, etc., and wanted Yao Ma to help analyze it.

After listening to this, Yao Ma also nodded, thinking that this matter was indeed very strange. Judging from various indications, there was a high possibility that the Italian army would surrender.

"If you analyze it this way, it does make sense. So, I'll have people set up a formation and see if it's true." Yao Ma thought for a while and then said.

He thought that he should first deploy the troops in formation to put some pressure on the Italian army. If they really wanted to surrender, they would probably make a decision more quickly after seeing this posture. If they still wanted to resist, they could make preparations in advance.

"Okay, let's do as you say." Bu La responded without hesitation. He felt that the method of numbness was quite reliable. He had no better idea at the moment, so he just waited to see the next reaction of the Italian army.

On the other side, Major General Mario Barrotta looked at his subordinates in front of him, frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt on his face, and whispered in a low voice: "Reinforcements?" He was very surprised. He didn't expect that the other side actually had reinforcements. This was different from what he had expected before. He originally thought that the other side only had that few troops. Now the situation has become complicated. "Yes, what the other side said in person should be true." The Italian major nodded quickly, with a sense of affirmation in his tone. After all, this was said by the other party himself, and he felt that the credibility was still quite high, so he hurried to report this important situation to the major general.

At this moment, the combat staff officer hurriedly walked in from outside, his footsteps were quick and hurried, bringing up a gust of wind, his face was full of anxiety, and as soon as he entered the door, he reported loudly: "Sir, the enemy reinforcements have arrived." The voice seemed particularly abrupt in the command center, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

Hearing this, Major General Mario Barrotta's expression suddenly turned very ugly. His originally calm face instantly collapsed, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry and helplessness.

He was originally still hoping for a lucky break, thinking that the other party was just bluffing when they said there were reinforcements, and thought maybe they were just trying to scare them, but who knew it was actually true. This was a big problem, and the situation was already difficult, and now it became even worse.

"Haven't the German fighter planes arrived yet?" Major General Mario Barota asked anxiously, with a hint of eagerness and anticipation in his voice.

He knew clearly that in the current situation, if the German fighter planes did not come to support them, they would have no chance of winning on their own facing the arrival of enemy reinforcements. At that time he could indeed consider surrendering. Although he was very reluctant, he had to face reality.

"It should be here soon." The communications officer stood up quickly, reporting with a hint of uncertainty in his tone. He had no idea, but based on the information he had received before, he speculated that the fighter plane should be here soon, but he couldn't say exactly when it would arrive, so he could only respond to the major general like this.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard bursts of roars coming from afar. The sound came closer and closer, becoming clearer and louder, like rumbling thunder coming from the sky.

"Here they come." The communications officer's face lit up with joy and he shouted excitedly.

The next second, bursts of fierce gunfire were heard from the opposite position. The sounds of "da da da" and "bang bang bang" intertwined together, breaking the temporary calm on the battlefield. The firepower looked quite fierce.

"Anti-aircraft machine guns?" someone asked in confusion. The Italian army was not surprised that the other side had anti-aircraft machine guns. After all, on the battlefield, both sides would be equipped with various weapons to enhance their defense and attack capabilities. It was reasonable for the other side to have anti-aircraft machine guns. However, the sound of gunfire meant that the next battle would probably be more intense, and they had to be prepared to deal with it.

"No, there are also anti-aircraft guns. The other side is well prepared." An Italian officer shouted with a serious face.

He stared at the opposite position, his eyes full of shock and worry. He knew that since the other side had even deployed anti-aircraft guns, they must have made sufficient preparations to deal with air strikes. This was not as simple as they had expected.

When the dull but intimidating sound of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun was heard, the faces of the Italian troops became even uglier.

The sound of the cannon fire seemed to hit their hearts, completely destroying any remaining hope they had.

They knew that with such powerful anti-aircraft weapons, this air raid would not be very smooth. If the German fighter planes wanted to break through this tight anti-aircraft firepower network, they would have to pay a heavy price.

It turns out that it wasn't going very smoothly.

The German fighter planes struggled to avoid the fire network formed by anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in the air. They rushed left and right, but several planes were still hit and fell to the ground, trailing black smoke. The scene was extremely tragic.

Not only that, not long after, enemy planes appeared in the distant sky. They were the enemy's air force.

The enemy planes were seen roaring towards the German fighter planes, and a fierce fight broke out in the air between the two sides in an instant. For a while, the sky was filled with artillery fire and roars.

In other words, this air raid did not have any effect. Not only did the German fighter planes fail to inflict effective damage to the enemy, but they also lost several planes. This was truly a loss.

This result made the Italian army feel disheartened. They had originally expected the German fighter planes to turn the tide of the battle, but now all their hopes were dashed.

Seeing this scene, Major General Mario Barrotta's expression became even uglier. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. His brows were tightly locked together, and his eyes were full of frustration and helplessness.

He knew in his heart that in the current situation, it was impossible to hold on to the current position.

The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and their air force can also contend with them, but we have no more tricks up our sleeves. Continuing to resist will only result in more casualties.

"Get ready and surrender." Major General Mario Barrota lowered his head slightly and said with a look of disappointment. There was a sense of unwillingness in his voice, but there was really no other way. At this moment, his heart was like a pot of mixed feelings, with all kinds of feelings surging in his heart. He could only make this decision helplessly.

"Yes, but should we build a prisoner-of-war camp first?" someone suggested.

"After all, those yellow people don't look like they know how to build a prisoner-of-war camp."

"Yes, this is indeed a good suggestion."

"Not only that, we also asked them to guarantee the supply of three meals a day for us. We must ask them to agree to this."

"It's better to let Britain and the United States come forward. With their guarantee, it will be more reliable."

Major General Mario Barrota accepted all the suggestions from his subordinates.

Because he thinks it makes sense!
"Then arrange for people to start building a prisoner-of-war camp now, and then send people to negotiate surrender."

"Yes." (End of chapter)
