Facts have proved that the Germans' fighting will is not as strong as advertised. When they are in a desperate situation, even if they surrender, there is a risk of retaliation. The Germans still choose the one-tenth possibility, because they will definitely die if they resist in the end.

Not even a tenth of the hope.

In order to persuade Paulus to surrender, Chuikov promised Paulus that surrendering German troops would receive normal prisoner treatment.

The Russians fulfilled their promise and did not execute all prisoners of war, but sent them to prisoner-of-war camps to undergo labor reform.

The Russians are definitely not virgins. Only about 6,000 of the 91,000 German prisoners of war returned to Germany alive after the war, and the chance was less than one in ten.

Paulus did even better.

Mustache repeatedly refused the surrender of the 6th Army and wanted to let the 270,000 Axis troops in the encirclement die. Paulus hated Mustache beyond measure. After the surrender, Paulus issued an anti-Mustache declaration to cooperate with Russia.

Propaganda agencies promoted the German army. Artillery General Walter von Kurtzbach even proposed to form a unit from German prisoners of war to join the Allied war effort. This proposal was rejected by the bearded man.

Just kidding, Russia, which has unlimited manpower, has no shortage of such people.

The bearded man was even more afraid that after returning the rifle to the German prisoners of war, the German prisoners of war would stab him in the back.

Traitors will never be truly trusted at any time.

In any case, the Battle of Volgograd, which lasted for nearly five months, ended. Both parties sent a total of 5 million people to participate in this battle. About 1 million people died in the war, and about 2.5 million people were injured. The Axis Powers lost about

A quarter of the troops had lost the initiative on the Russian battlefield.

The Battle of Volgograd was of far-reaching significance. After this battle, even the most pessimistic people began to realize that the balance of victory was tilting towards the Allies.

This has actually happened in East Asia and North Africa, but people's attention has been focused on Russia, so the Allied counterattacks against the Axis powers in these two battlefields have been ignored.

Just one week before Paulus surrendered, the Allied forces captured the last area of ​​Saigon. The battle in Saigon ended. Yamashita Fengfumi and his 23,000 Japanese troops surrendered to the Allies, and the Japanese Southern Army was completely wiped out.

Compared with the Battle of Volgograd, the Allied attack on Saigon was much easier. There was no so-called street fighting at all. Most of the Japanese troops died from the overwhelming bombing. The Japanese troops hiding in the ruins and sewers did not fight hand-to-hand with the Allied troops at all.

Opportunity.

With their sophisticated weapons and well-trained troops, the Germans fought back and forth with the Russians in Volgograd, winning and losing.

Saigon was completely one-sided. The so-called tank troops of the Japanese were vulnerable to the powerful armored troops of the Allies. Moreover, the Japanese army faced the same difficulties as the German army. The tank troops had to be used cautiously due to lack of fuel. This seriously weakened the Japanese army's war effort.

The combat effectiveness of the vehicle unit is not much to begin with.

Angel had formulated a perfect combat plan before the war, giving full play to the Allied firepower advantage at the maximum distance and not giving the Japanese a chance to attack the position.

This is easier said than done. The key depends on whether the logistics are sufficient.

During the siege of Saigon, the Allied forces consumed an average of 11,000 tons of artillery shells and aerial bombs every day. Angel initially mobilized 1,500 heavy artillery pieces, and half a month later the number increased to 4,500. With the large number of artillery pieces, the Allied forces could Killed all the Japanese troops entrenched in Saigon.

Yamashita Fengwen did not expect An Qi to launch an attack on Saigon in this way, and the pre-war arrangements completely failed.

In order to offset the Allied firepower superiority, the Japanese army dug dense tunnels under Saigon and tried to use the underground transportation network to attack the Allied forces.

Angel obtained a map of Saigon through the French. The Japanese tunnels were built based on Saigon's underground water network system. The Allies' method of dealing with the Japanese tunnels was very simple. They either directly sealed them with cement or used explosives to blow up the tunnel entrances and exits. , the US military even used poison gas when dealing with the Japanese army, which opened up new ideas for An Qi.

Biological warfare has a long history. During World War I, poison gas was widely used by all participating countries. After the war, the "Geneva Convention" clearly restricted biological warfare. Japan is not a signatory to the "Geneva Convention" and will naturally not abide by it. regulations in this regard.

During the Malay Campaign, the Japanese army had a precedent of using poison gas, which caused heavy losses to the British and Indian troops. Now they are treating others with their own medicine. The Americans are avenging the British Empire.

"We have intelligence that shows that both Americans and Japanese are conducting biological research crazily, and the Japanese are particularly egregious. They secretly conduct in vivo research in East Asia in extremely cruel ways-" Su Xian, chief consultant of the Ministry of Health, took the initiative to report to Roque, Southern Africa Biological research is also very developed. The difference is that southern Africa studies how to save people, while Japan studies how to kill people.

"To deal with the devil, you have to use the devil's method. Japan has a force in the Far East that specializes in biological research. They told An Qi that all Japanese who have participated in biological research must thoroughly liquidate their crimes." Rock said. In this regard, the Japanese and Americans know too much about 731, Fort Creek, and biological research institutes all over the world——

Like the mustache, these behaviors of the Japanese and Americans are all anti-humanity.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the Americans to deal with the Japanese, fighting fire with fire.

"An Qi will not let any Japanese go." Martin also watched An Qi grow up and knew her very well.

Angel would do the same without Rock's order.

The situation of the Japanese in Saigon was the same as that of the Germans in Volgograd. They knew full well that if they surrendered, they would definitely be liquidated by the Allies.

In order to reduce the casualties of the Russian army, Chuikov promised to give normal treatment to the surrendered German soldiers, but An Qi did not even promise.

MacArthur had an opinion.

"Promising to provide normal treatment to the surrendering Japanese troops can effectively undermine the fighting spirit of the Japanese troops. After the Japanese surrender, it is not up to us to decide what to do with them." MacArthur had no psychological burden at all about going back on his words.

That's right, we lie, we cheat, and we steal, as the US Secretary of State admitted personally.

"Hurry up, even if the Japanese surrender to the southern African army, they will not surrender to the US military." Arthur Percival, the commander-in-chief of the Malay British Army, laughed. He was very happy during this time and was more relaxed than ever before.

The southern African army and the Americans took the lead, and the British and Indian troops followed behind to clean up the battlefield. Neither the southern Africans nor the Americans wanted to do this job, but the Indians were happy to do it.

The job of cleaning up the battlefield is not easy. After the main Japanese army was defeated, the soldiers fled into the mountains and forests. It needs to be cleaned up bit by bit. This job will last for a long time.

The bodies of Japanese soldiers who died in battle had to be buried. This job was most popular among Indians. Although all the valuable trophies had been looted by the combat troops, the "value" also depended on who it was for.

For southern Africans, only commemorative trophies are valuable, such as military knives, watches, telescopes, bloody jewelry, etc. The tortoise box is also useful. Although it is not easy to use, it has commemorative significance.

To the Indians, all trophies are valuable. After the battlefield was cleaned by the Indians, even the crotches and trousers were stripped off, and all the corpses were gathered together and burned in a fire, which was a real ashes.

On the surface, there is not much hatred between the Japanese and southern Africans, because the Japanese have no ability to cause harm to southern Africa.

We have a bloody feud with the United States, and every American remembers the Bataan Death March and Pearl Harbor.

"Oh, if the Japanese surrender to the Southern African Army, the Southern African Army will let the Japanese go?" MacArthur sneered. Even if the white people in the Southern African Army let the Japanese go, the Chinese will not let them go.

Compared with the harm Japan inflicted on the Chinese, the Bataan Death March and Pearl Harbor were nothing more than drizzle.

"No, I will never make any promises to the Japanese. I will make them panic all day long and die in fear without giving them any hope." An Qi never lies. If I say I want you to die, I will let you die. It has to be

The most tragic way to die.

"This is wrong and not in our interests. Prisoners are also useful and can bring us benefits." MacArthur was right. Prisoners could not only consume food, but also bring benefits.

The Allies did not retain any prisoners of war. In Manila, there was the largest Allied prisoner of war camp in East Asia, holding about 15,000 prisoners of war.

Now the fighting in the Philippines has basically ended. At its peak, the Japanese army had nearly 500,000 combat troops in the Philippines, plus no less than 250,000 Filipino servants. With so many people, there were only 15,000 prisoners of war. The war process was more complicated than the Russian battlefield.

cruel.

Laying down arms does not mean withdrawing from the war. The death penalty cannot be avoided. At its peak, there were about 100,000 prisoners in the Manila prisoner of war camp, but now there are only 15,000 left. The rate of reduction can explain many problems.

The Americans were responsible for managing the prisoner-of-war camps, and it was southern Africa that provided living supplies for the prisoner-of-war camps.

The supply of materials in prisoner-of-war camps is certainly not as abundant as that of the southern African army, but it can still keep the prisoners full.

Of course, after the supplies are delivered to the prisoner-of-war camps, whether the Americans will distribute the supplies to the prisoners in full and on time is not the responsibility of Southern Africa.

The convoy transporting supplies to the prisoner-of-war camp will arrive at the prisoner-of-war camp one day in advance. The supplies are usually mainly potatoes, cabbage and other high-yield vegetables, and occasionally meat and fruits. Of course, don't expect the quality of the meat and fruits to be high.

, most of them are in poor quality, rotten and smelly, and will be thrown away if they are no longer consumed.

"Wocao, your meat is so smelly that even dogs won't eat it." Gallup, who was responsible for receiving supplies, pinched his nose. It was too smelly.

"It's not meant to be eaten by dogs. How good do you want it to be given to devils?" Chen Hao jumped off the off-road vehicle and simply put on a gas mask.

The treatment of military dogs in southern Africa is very high. Although the standard of food is not as rich as that of soldiers, there is definitely enough meat.

The digestive system of dogs is different from that of humans. It is designed to digest meat and bones. Dogs will die if they eat the chocolate distributed to the army.

Not to mention anything else, there is absolutely no shortage of meat and bones in Southern Africa, and there is always as much as you need. Many military dogs have been bred to the point where they only chew cattle bones and turn around when given a chicken stand.

"Haha, the Japanese still want to eat meat? Just dream about it!" Gallup dismissed it.

Chen Hao was used to it, and it was no surprise that many things in the prisoner-of-war camps run by the US military could not be written in novels, otherwise it would be 404.

"How many people died today?" Chen Hao chatted casually with Gallup, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them over.

"It's not much. We've already dealt with them all. These people are not good at anything. They are the first to eat." Gallup took out a cigarette and put it into his pocket.

This is considered welfare. Chen Hao is in charge of logistics, and supplies such as cigarettes are distributed as much as possible.

At this time, two American soldiers escorted a dozen Japanese prisoners over to move their belongings.

It can be seen that the Japanese prisoners are not in a good condition. Their faces are yellow and withered, and their bodies are swaying, as if they will faint at any time.

"Go faster, don't be so dawdy, haven't you eaten in the morning?" The escorting American soldiers cursed, raised their rifle butts and knocked down a Japanese prisoner.

Chen Hao looked at the sky speechlessly.

It's already past six in the afternoon, and the meal we had in the morning is almost finished.

Not to mention not having enough to eat.

The knocked down Japanese prisoner gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, his eyes full of resentment.

"Still looking! What are you looking at?" The American soldier was so irritated by the Japanese prisoner's eyes that he raised his hand and fired.

Bah——

The gunshots in the evening were still a bit sad, and a flock of birds took off in the woods nearby. The guards in the distance didn't even look here.

It's probably something I'm used to.

The rest of the Japanese prisoners had cold eyes, looking at those who were struggling in a pool of blood. The expressions of their former comrades were numb, and the situation has changed. This year, I came to my house. Last year, how did the Japanese torture and kill the US-Philippine coalition prisoners of war? How do Americans treat the Japanese now?

, this is true fairness.

Repaying kindness with kindness?

Fuck you!

"Carry it away, carry it away, dig a hole and bury it." Gallup looked disgusted and took a few steps to the side to avoid blood splattering on him.

"I finally understand why there are only so few prisoners left -" Chen Hao looked calm. Americans killing Japanese has nothing to do with southern Africans.

"Hey, let them work now, and then dispose of them all after the work is completed. Keeping them is a waste of food-" Gallup had a smile on his face. The fighting method in southern Africa that did not take a single prisoner after a battle was simply a waste of food.

It's just a waste.

"Why not give them a break? The work efficiency of a hundred prisoners is not as good as an excavator." Chen Hao is not opposed to revenge, but he is opposed to murderous revenge.

After all, humans and animals are different. Fighting is a war, and one's true nature cannot be eliminated. This is how the Southern African federal government has been educating Southern African soldiers.

What happened during the war is understandable.

After the war is over, soldiers have to return to normal life and return to their families and integrate into society. At this time, some behaviors during the war will inevitably have an impact on the lives of soldiers.

Otherwise, there would be so many people in the American soldiers.
