When the Japanese task force behind enemy lines in the Taibai Mountain and Wutai Mountain areas were eliminated, the Japanese mopping up troops stationed in Lingqiu County and other areas began to officially move into the Wutai Mountain area.
Along with them, there were a large number of material transport troops.
These material transport troops will transport large amounts of materials to some strongholds and warehouses around Wutai Mountain, specifically for use by the troops supporting this sweep.
This time, their supplies were managed in a decentralized manner. In a certain area, a part of the supplies are stored to support the troops fighting in that area. They have established a total of about ten similar storage locations.
They have learned the lesson from the last time. Last year, they were attacked because of the valley where they stored supplies, which led to their final defeat.
Although the dispersed storage this time increases the difficulty of transportation and management, it can at least ensure that it will not be destroyed by Xia Yang's troops.
Even if one or two places are destroyed and attacked, they still have supplies from other areas to provide corresponding support. This would prevent the entire army from being in an embarrassing situation with no supplies to supply.
Xia Yang dispatched scouts stationed in the Wutai Mountain and Taibai Mountain areas to collect this information. They identified various warehouses and strongholds where the Japanese army stored supplies, and then reported the specific locations of these strongholds and warehouses, as well as the deployment of troops, to Xia Yang.
In addition, the intelligence network of Anbu and Sun Qi also began to play a role.
These ubiquitous intelligence personnel figured out the marching route of the Japanese army and even the unit numbers of the Japanese army. This allowed Xia Yang to clearly control the specific movements of each Japanese army unit, their stationed locations, and the areas they were responsible for sweeping.
This thing sounds simple to say, but to implement it, it requires a large number of elite investigators to collect and organize intelligence.
Xia Yang¡¯s staff still needs to analyze the collected intelligence.
In the past few days, in addition to supervising the preparations of the troops, Xia Yang also had to work with the staff to analyze the collected intelligence and determine the next move of the Japanese army and the main direction of attack at that time.
These tasks are very tedious, and Xia Yang is often busy until early in the morning before he can lie down in bed and take a nap. As soon as it gets light, he will be woken up by Xiao Yuebing and continue to analyze the intelligence and data he just collected.
On the huge military map of the headquarters, the area around Wutai Mountain has been filled with Japanese flags.
Before the big sweep had officially begun, the Japanese army had already built many bunkers and gun towers on the main roads near Mount Wutai. These gun towers and bunkers are like a big net, covering the entire Mount Wutai.
But these bunkers and gun towers were not enough to blockade Mount Wutai. The surrounding area of ??Wutai Mountain is so large that it is not too difficult for the guerrillas and Xia Yang's troops inside to get out.
However, the sudden increase of two divisions of the Japanese army at this time, as well as a large number of puppet troops, completely blocked the entire Wutai Mountain area.
The liaison officer sent by Xia Yang to the Wutai Mountain area was almost caught by the Japanese patrol late yesterday. If it weren't for the desperate efforts of several soldiers to cover him, his liaison officer might have died heroically at this time.
At this time, the guerrillas in Mount Wutai, under the blockade of the two reorganized divisions of the Japanese army, could no longer communicate much with the outside world.
The Japanese army even set up a large number of radio wave monitoring equipment, hoping to intercept and even decipher the telegrams communicated between Wutai Mountain and the outside world.
Fortunately, the radio stations that Xia Yang equipped for Chen Shiliang and the others were high-performance radio stations that came with their own encryption. If the radio waves emitted by this kind of radio station are deciphered by later generations of computers, it will not take too long.
¡°But there was no such thing as a computer in this era, and it was extremely difficult for the Japanese army to decipher it.
"Collecting the intelligence from the past few days, the Japanese army has concentrated more troops in the Wutai Mountain area than we previously expected." Hao Shiwen pointed to the military map and said: "In addition to the two reorganized divisions and the puppet troops, the total number is six There are more than 10,000 people, as well as Japanese troops stationed in various gun tower strongholds, as well as Japanese aviation units, and a heavy artillery regiment transferred from Taiyuan. In total, there are more than 70,000 people, and even 80,000 people."
After listening to this information, Xia Yang knew that the intensity of the Japanese army's raids this time was definitely much greater than last year. And this time they focused on themselves.?This way.
"Eighty thousand people, in terms of military strength, is already three or four times ours." Xia Yang said, "The number of troops we can mobilize in the Wutai Mountain area is about 5,000. The troops in the Taibai Mountain area, plus scattered There are about 20,000 guerrillas. Twenty-five thousand, against 80,000 elite Japanese troops."
At this time, Hao Shiwen reminded in a low voice: "Master, there are not so many, we can kill the little Japanese's puppet army, their combat effectiveness is not that good."
Xia Yang said: "These two puppet troops were originally part of the national army's combat order and later defected to the country. Their military quality cannot be considered too bad. In addition, the Japanese army has replaced them with new equipment, and their combat capabilities cannot be underestimated." watch for."
"Twenty-five thousand people fought against 80,000 people, and they were still concentrated in the Wutai Mountain area. This time we can't form a local strength advantage by attacking in the east and west like last year." Ma Siyuan said worriedly, "Because no matter where the Japanese army is, They all have a huge strength advantage. Even if we gather 25,000 people, it is impossible for us to face the Japanese army head-on."
