    On the other side of Mount Wutai, the advance of the Japanese 114th Division continues.  If it weren't for the sudden change in the battle situation, the 16th Division at this time might have completed the encirclement with the 114th Division and wiped out the guerrilla forces in Mount Wutai.

    Yoshio Shinozuka responded quickly and the content of the telegram was very simple.  Just let Nakajima Konsogo continue to hold on and wait for the advance of the 114th Division. In up to five days, the 114th Division will be able to cross the entire Wutai Mountain and support the 16th Division.

    By that time, their forces inside Wutai Mountain will have surged, and they will surely be able to complete the annihilation of the enemy.

    Nakajima I know that Yoshio Shinozuka obviously still underestimated the enemy's combat capabilities and the ability to annihilate their effective forces.

    A brigade of six to seven thousand people was wiped out in one night.  Such a terrifying combat capability makes Nakajima Jingo break into a cold sweat just thinking about it.

    But the order has come down, and he can only choose to accept it.  He would rather die here than go to court-martial.

    Nakazawa Mizuo was a little surprised, why Nakajima Konsogo, who had experienced hundreds of battles, suddenly became afraid of the enemy.

    "Order the brigade to still move closer to our flank and deploy defenses at the same time. We need to delay the enemy's attack. Wait until the arrival of the 114th Division." Nakajima said now.

    He has given up taking the initiative to attack and turned to defense.  Because at this time, he realized that the enemy on the opposite side was very powerful and if they took the initiative to attack, they would hardly get any advantage.

    If they continue like this, they will still have a chance to make a comeback when the 114th Division arrives.

    Xia Yang's troops arrived at their camp at noon the next day.

    At this time, the Japanese army had already given up the attack and began to build defensive positions in the surrounding mountains. Troops were dispatched to garrison several important commanding heights.

    At the same time, the Japanese transport aircraft also began to deliver large amounts of weapons and ammunition to them, including a large number of landmines, as well as materials and tools needed to build defensive positions.

    The Japanese 33rd Brigade also began to set up defenses near the headquarters of the Japanese 16th Division, began to dig trenches, and build machine gun positions and bunkers.

    Xia Yang's Fourth Division and the troops of the 386th Brigade began preparations for war after returning to the camp.  At the same time, scouts were dispatched to conduct repeated reconnaissance of the Japanese defensive positions, and even the locations of their firepower points were clearly marked.

    Behind the Japanese 16th Division, Chen Shiliang and the Wutai Mountain guerrillas also built a large number of defensive positions on the periphery of the Japanese fortifications.  At the same time, small groups of troops were constantly dispatched to harass the Japanese army, thereby detecting the location of the Japanese army's firepower.

    There was basically no exchange of fire between the two sides during this day.  The Japanese army was busy building fortifications, while Xia Yang's troops were collecting intelligence to confirm the direction of the main attack and combat plan.

    "We can't delay for too long. The Japanese army attacked Wutai Mountain and Taiping Town area fiercely on the periphery. The 122nd Regiment has repelled more than 40 Japanese attacks. The Japanese army even used poison gas bombs in order to capture Zhaojiagou. If  The Japanese army has blocked our retreat, which is definitely not good news for us." Xia Yang looked at the terrain map and said solemnly.

    Although they successfully eliminated a Japanese brigade, this victory was not enough to have a decisive impact on the entire war situation.

    The Japanese 114th Division is crossing Wutai Mountain at this time, and it won't take long to support the 16th Division.  At that time, Xia Yang and the others would have to face the Japanese army with superior strength.

    Therefore, their top priority now is to annihilate the Japanese 16th Division in large numbers before the 114th Division arrives. Not only to annihilate them all, but also to incapacitate them in combat.

    ¡° In this way, even if the 114th Division arrives, the entire Japanese army¡¯s mopping up plan will basically be declared bankrupt.  Xia Yang and the others could even choose to withdraw from Wutai Mountain directly and let the 114th Division fight guerrillas with the guerrillas in the mountains. Then they would be dragged out until the logistics support could not keep up, and they would have no choice but to retreat from the mountains again.

    "In addition to these, the Japanese 114th Division is also coming. According to their marching speed, they can arrive in five or six days at most. I think four regiments should be dispatched, plus the guerrillas from Wutai Mountain, in Xiongfeng  Set up blocking positions along the ridge to block the advance of the Japanese 114th Division." General Chen said, "If we want to eat the remaining Japanese troops, just three or four days will definitely not be enough."

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "Our encirclement of the Japanese 16th Division has been roughly formed. In the next few days, we will attack the Japanese defensive positions, and then try every means to annihilate this Japanese army."

      General Chen thought for a while, and then said: "The task of blocking the Japanese 114th Division is very difficult. The troops with the strongest combat capabilities should be dispatched. Everyone, does anyone want to go?"

    As he spoke, he glanced around at the commanders of each regiment in the headquarters.

    As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the group leaders raised their hands one after another.

    "Brigadier, let our regiment take the main attack. Two days ago, it was Lao Kong's new regiment that took the main attack. Our regiment didn't even see the shadow of a few little devils in the back. This time, we have to do everything.  beat."

    "You're farting, the little devil has two squadrons to kill them, don't think we don't know. Do you still want some dignity? This time, no matter what, our group will go." The one who spoke was the leader of the new regiment.  .

    Several other regiment leaders also joined the battle group at this time, and for a while the entire command headquarters was filled with the sounds of their quarrels.

    Xia Yang was also very surprised to see their enthusiastic attitude.  Because he knew very well, and the commanders at the headquarters also knew very well that the task of blocking the Japanese 114th Division this time was very difficult, and it might be possible for them to be completely annihilated by the 114th Division.

    The Eighth Route Army always has such a spirit of energy. When it hears that it is going to take the main attack mission, or it is an important blocking mission, it is often willing to rush to the front.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
