Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed
Chapter 461 They seem to be holding a military parade!
"Is it solved?" Colonel Hader stood outside the temporary command post, looking at his subordinates who were covered in dust and in a state of disarray, frowned slightly, and asked with a hint of urgency in his eyes.
At this moment, he was concerned about how to deal with the sudden rebellion of the royal army in the city.
"Well, all those who resisted were arrested, and the rest surrendered." The subordinate straightened up quickly and explained hastily, but his face did not look very good, revealing a hint of worry and uneasiness, as if there was something worse that he was hiding from the colonel.
Hearing this, Colonel Hader keenly sensed something was wrong. He looked at the other person in confusion and began to wonder in his heart. He always felt that things were not that simple. Could something have happened? He had a bad premonition in his heart, so he asked again, "What happened?"
"Yeah." The subordinate hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded slowly. His expression was as if he knew that the news he was about to say would make his superior furious, but things had come to this point and there was no way to hide it anymore.
"What's going on?" Colonel Hader's tone became serious and his eyes became sharper. He seemed to have noticed something was wrong and became more and more uneasy.
"The ammunition depot was bombed." The subordinate said hastily, his voice trembling unconsciously. After all, this was not a trivial matter. The ammunition depot was of vital importance to the German troops who were defending the city.
what?
The ammunition depot was bombed?
When Colonel Hader heard this, he felt his head buzzing and dizziness. This ammunition depot is their lifeline. Without ammunition, those guns and cannons will become scrap metal. How can they resist the enemies outside?
Do I have to rely on my flesh and blood to resist?
This is not a joke, it's simply pushing them into a desperate situation.
"Yes, those damn rebels, they actually attacked the ammunition depot. By the time we arrived, it was too late." The subordinates knew that the trouble they had caused this time was really too big. While carefully observing the colonel's expression, they hurriedly explained, trying to let their superior know that they had tried their best, but they really didn't expect the rebels to do such a thing.
"Isn't there a garrison at the ammunition depot?" Colonel Hader asked in confusion, suppressing his anger and trying to make his tone sound calm.
Normally, important military locations like ammunition depots would be heavily guarded with layers of sentries and strict defense measures, making it impossible for people to get close easily. How could it be blown up by the rebels?
"I'm not sure. Those rebels must have disguised themselves as civilians and took the opportunity to attack the ammunition depot." The subordinate said helplessly. To be honest, he himself didn't know the specific situation and could only speculate. The scene was in chaos. When they arrived, they saw that the ammunition depot was already engulfed in flames.
Hearing this, Colonel Hader waved his hands helplessly. He was too lazy to pursue these matters now. After all, no matter how responsible he was, the ammunition depot would not be restored to its original state instantly. Moreover, there were more important things at the moment, which was how to defend the city of Cairo. In this difficult situation of ammunition shortage, he had to find a way to deal with the enemies outside the city as soon as possible. This was the top priority. He frowned and began to think about the next countermeasures in his mind.
Without the ammunition depot, it was basically impossible to defend Cairo. This was obvious and beyond doubt. You didn't even need to think about it to understand how difficult it was. After all, the ammunition that the German soldiers carried was really pitiful. If they relied on this little ammunition to resist the attack of the enemy outside the city, they would not be able to hold out for even a quarter of an hour.
You know, the German army's usual tactics of replenishing troops are based on machine guns. Machine guns are the "bullet-eating beasts" on the battlefield. Once they open fire, they consume ammunition like water. The firepower is fierce enough, but correspondingly, the demand for ammunition is also huge.
Now that we have lost the supplies from the ammunition depot, it is like losing the source of fresh water. How can we defend the city with only the ammunition we have?
Thinking of this, Colonel Hader felt a sudden pain in his head, his brows were twisted into knots, and he felt extremely worried.
Should I really surrender? He kept asking himself in his heart, but he was unwilling to do so. After all, he had held on until now and put in so much effort. If he surrendered so easily, wouldn't everything before be in vain?
But what can we do if we continue to hold on? In this situation, there is no other way except to be annihilated. The enemy outside the city is waiting for an opportunity to attack the city, but we have no ammunition, just like a tiger without teeth, unable to resist.
After thinking for a while, Colonel Hadel still couldn't make up his mind. He was struggling inside. The two thoughts of surrender and holding on kept colliding in his mind, putting him in a dilemma.
At this moment, a series of sharp whistling sounds suddenly rang out in the sky, cutting through the sky and getting closer and closer, making people feel nervous. Colonel Hader's face changed drastically, and his heart was shocked. With many years of combat experience, he immediately recognized that this was the sound of large-caliber artillery firing, and judging from the noise, there were quite a few of them.
This made his originally hesitant heart feel like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and he was completely dead. He knew in his heart that he was really finished. Without ammunition and facing enemy artillery bombardment, he had no power to fight back. Cairo City might not be able to be defended. What awaited them was probably that the enemy would break through the city and then fall into a desperate situation. But now that things had come to this, he could only helplessly accept this cruel reality.
"Surrender." Colonel Hader said with a bitter face and a helpless smile, which was full of reluctance and loneliness. At this point, he knew that there was no better choice. Continuing to resist would only cause more soldiers to die in vain. It would be better to lay down weapons and leave everyone a way to survive.
"Yes." When the subordinates heard the order, although they were full of helplessness, they still responded in unison, and then began to arrange the relevant matters for surrender.
Not long after, Bu La outside the city received the news of the German surrender, which surprised him. He originally thought that the German army was known for its tenacity. With the fortifications in the city, they would have to hold on for a few more days. Who knew that they would surrender so quickly? This was indeed beyond his expectations. However, they finally surrendered, which was good news for Bu La. After all, his troops had suffered heavy casualties in the siege in the past two days. Every charge and every battle, soldiers fell, and the number of losses kept rising. If they continued to fight like this, it would probably not be the German army that would collapse first, but his own troops. At that time, let alone taking Cairo, it would be a problem whether they could hold their ground. Fortunately, the German army finally surrendered, which put an end to this brutal battle.
Of course, Bu La has no intention of revenge.
In other words, Cun Yunsheng had already told him in advance, repeatedly telling him to treat the Germans well and not to do anything that violated the rules or damaged their reputation. Bula naturally did not dare to disobey Cun Yunsheng's orders. After all, military orders were like mountains, and he did not want to bring himself into trouble because of a momentary impulse.
The next scene left him speechless. Although the German troops had surrendered, their ranks were very neat, with each soldier standing tall and walking steadily, just like they were being reviewed on a normal day. Their spirit and energy did not look like a team that had lost a battle and was about to surrender.
"It feels like they are here for a military parade." Bu La looked at the queue in front of him and couldn't help but muttered softly, with a look of knowing whether to laugh or cry. According to regulations, the surrendered German troops needed to leave the city and station outside the city, so Bu La had this illusion when he saw the mighty and orderly German troops coming out of the city. He thought to himself that these German troops were really different. At this time, they still paid so much attention to the queue, which was also a different kind of stubbornness. He shook his head helplessly and continued to watch this scene, waiting for the subsequent handover.
"According to the Geneva Convention, we have laid down our arms, but you need to prepare a camp, food, etc. for us." Colonel Hader walked up to Bula with steady steps, first stood at attention, then saluted with a standard military gesture, and stated his request with a serious and neither humble nor arrogant face.
In his opinion, since they have chosen to surrender, these basic living guarantees should be met in accordance with international conventions, and this is also a rule that both sides need to follow.
Bu La naturally agreed to all these requests. He thought to himself that these were all reasonable demands, and the superiors had also instructed that the German troops should be treated well, so he just had to follow the rules. He nodded in agreement readily.
Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to, Colonel Hadel's tense nerves couldn't help but relax. He was originally worried that he would be harassed or treated unfairly, but now it seems that the situation is much better than he imagined, and he feels more grateful to Bula.
At the same time, Bu La also made a request, that is, Cun Yunsheng wanted to see him. Bu La conveyed Cun Yunsheng's meaning, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, after all, this was also a task assigned by the superiors.

Colonel Hader did not refuse. Although he was a little confused and didn't quite understand why the other party wanted to see him, he thought that since they had already surrendered, there would be no harm in meeting each other. Maybe it was just a formality, so he nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Cun Yunsheng saw Colonel Hader, and a friendly and respectful expression immediately appeared on his face. Cun Yunsheng showed enough respect for this person's arrival. His words and actions did not treat the other party as a prisoner. It was as if he was receiving a guest from afar, warmly and politely.
"Actually, there is no deep hatred between you and me." As soon as they met, Cun Yunsheng began to talk about the friendship between the two sides with a smile on his face. His tone was very cordial, as if they had always been friendly forces with a good relationship.
There must be a reason for doing this. Cun Yunsheng had his own plans in mind. In addition to being envious of Germany's advanced industries, he thought that if he could get some benefits from them and help his own development, it would be great. He was also envious of these German officers. After all, the German officers were strictly trained and had rich combat experience. They showed superb military qualities on the battlefield. At least at this time, these German officers were definitely the best fighters in the world.
If he could win these people over and make them work for him, it would be a huge benefit to him, whether it was in training his own troops or in future combat command. That was why he treated Colonel Hadel so enthusiastically, wanting to build a good relationship first and then slowly realize his ideas.
Especially with so many indigenous troops, all of them need officers to train. Although there are many indigenous soldiers, most of them lack formal military training, their combat skills vary, and their discipline is poor. If you want to turn them into a team that can exert strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, it is almost impossible without experienced and capable officers to carry out systematic training.
However, it was far from enough for Cun Yunsheng to complete the training of so many indigenous troops with the few people he had. So he turned his attention to the German officers, thinking that if he could get their help, he could solve the big problem.
After hearing Cun Yunsheng's words, Colonel Hader did not answer, but chose to remain silent. He frowned slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes. It was obvious that he did not want to work for the other party.
In his mind, as a member of the German army, if he personally trained a troop and then let this team turn around and attack his own troops, what was the difference between this and treason? This was against his military ethics and loyalty principles, so he naturally could not agree to it. Even though he was now a prisoner, he would not give up this bottom line easily.
Cun Yunsheng was not discouraged by this. He knew very well that it would be impossible to get the other party's consent to such a thing all at once. If it was so easy to agree, he would doubt whether the other party had ulterior motives. After all, a soldier with backbone and principles would definitely not change his position easily.
"Colonel Hader, do you think you can still win?" Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and decided to try a roundabout way to persuade the other party from a different angle. He stared at Colonel Hader closely, trying to catch some reaction from the changes in his expression, thinking that maybe using the real situation to stimulate him could make him change his mind.
"What do you mean?" Colonel Hader looked at the other party with a puzzled look on his face. He was a little confused by this sudden question. He didn't know what the deep meaning behind Cun Yunsheng's words was. He just felt that what the other party was going to say next must be something closely related to him, so he waited for the other party to continue talking in confusion. (End of this chapter)
