    What Xia Yang has to do is to eliminate the Japanese 114th Division before it breaks through the Xiongfeng Ridge blocking position.

    For two consecutive days, there was no large-scale exchange of fire between the two sides.  The Japanese army was busy building positions, while Xia Yang was asking the troops to search for information about the Japanese positions.

    During the past two days, Xia Yang asked his troops to recharge their batteries and prepare for battle.

    It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Xia Yang and General Chen convened the commanders of each regiment again and began to formulate corresponding combat plans.

    Generally speaking, if you want to quickly annihilate this Japanese army, there are only a few possibilities.

    The simplest thing is that there is a problem with the supplies within the Japanese army. The soldiers will starve to death and collapse without a fight.  But this possibility is no longer available. The Japanese army in front of them is obviously very well-supplied, and it is not a problem at all for them to spend ten days and a half on Mount Wutai.

    The second possibility is to complete a fatal blow to the Japanese division headquarters, which can greatly weaken its ability to coordinate operations.  However, in such a large area, the Japanese division headquarters may have been moved away from Longxugou long ago, and the possibility is equally slim.

    There is another method, which is to divide and encircle, knock down several key defensive nodes of the Japanese army, so that they cannot respond to each other and support each other, and then defeat them one by one, which can also improve their efficiency in annihilating the Japanese army.  This is also the most feasible method.

    The last one is a destructive trick that Xia Yang came up with.

    He thought about setting fire to the mountain, first opening up a fire break zone on the outside, and then setting fire to the Japanese troops in the fire break zone.  It's late autumn now and the weather is dry.  Moreover, because Mount Wutai is located in the north and has a relatively high altitude, the temperature has slowly dropped below zero.

    In this case, the fallen leaves and dead grass stacked on the hillside can easily be ignited.

    But this plan was eliminated because they were afraid of triggering a large-scale wildfire, which might even burn them down.

    Although Xia Yang was excluded, Xia Yang was still a little unwilling and muttered for a long time.

    In the end, they decided to adopt the strategy of division and encirclement, attacking several key nodes of the Japanese army and completing the division of the Japanese defense positions.

    "The three main defensive nodes of the Japanese army are on these three slopes. If we can attack these three slopes, we can divide the Japanese army into two halves. One part is the Japanese 30th Brigade, and the other part is  The division headquarters of the Japanese 16th Division." Xia Yang pointed at the simulated sand table.

    "We numbered these three highlands, namely highlands No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. According to our troops' investigation, the Japanese army defended these highlands with a lot of troops. In the largest position, there was a full brigade.  Thousands of troops were stationed there.

    And around these positions, there are barbed wire fences and mines planted everywhere.  In addition, various machine gun bunkers can also be seen on these positions, forming a very tight fire network.  "Xia Yang explained the situation of these Japanese positions.

    "Master, I think we can't just attack from the front. That way we don't know when the attack will last. We should also send elite troops to intersperse and detour to isolate these Japanese positions." Hu Sandao.  "The interspersed tasks can be handed over to our guard battalion. We are best at this."

    But Xia Yang said with a smile: "For you to perform such a task, you are overqualified. You have more important tasks to perform."

    "What mission?" Hu San asked.

    Xia Yang said: "While it's dark, you reach the upper reaches of the river and mix mustard gas into the river water. After it rained a few days ago, the temperature in Mount Wutai dropped sharply. The river has frozen and the ground has frozen. The Japanese army wants to divert the water.  You can only drink water from the small river in Longxugou.

    You mixed mustard gas into it, and if they drink the water, their combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.  "

    Hu Sandao: "Yes, Master."

    At this time, the temperature in Wutai Mountain has dropped below zero. Even at noon when the sunshine is relatively strong, the temperature is below zero. At night, it is seven to eight degrees below zero or even more than ten degrees below zero.  And this low temperature situation will continue, and the temperature will only get lower and lower in the future.

    The Japanese army had obviously already anticipated the temperature in Mount Wutai, so before entering Mount Wutai, they had already prepared their winter clothes.  There's no need to worry about freezing to death here.

    But the frozen soil made it impossible for them to dig wells to obtain water.  So we can only use the water flow in Longxugou.

      Xia Yang had previously thought of cutting off the river directly from the upstream, but because he knew the weather in advance, Mount Wutai would see its first heavy snowfall in a few days. By then, the Japanese army would not need to worry about drinking water.  Once the white snow melts, it can be used with a little warming.

    Therefore, Xia Yang needed to use the remaining mustard gas before the heavy snowfall to cause maximum damage to the Japanese army.

    Mustard gas can be dissolved in water. After drinking, it usually takes a while to take effect.  Although it will be much less powerful after being dissolved in water, there is still no problem in making some soldiers lose their combat capabilities.  As long as they can't pick up a gun or fight, there's no difference between them and death.

    They quickly determined the main attacking troops, some corresponding tactics, and the weapons they were going to use.  The main force of the sniper squadron was also dispatched by Xia Yang, specifically to suppress the heavy firepower of the Japanese army on the top of the slope.

    However, these snipers were suppressing the enemy on distant hillsides to ensure that they were out of the range of the Japanese army.

    After making these arrangements, the guard battalion carried the remaining gas canisters and began to move upriver.

    After marching until midnight, the soldiers of the guard camp finally arrived at the upstream area.

    Because of the cooling, the nighttime temperature has reached minus ten degrees at this time, and the entire river has frozen. However, because the ice is only on the surface, after breaking through the ice layer, you can see the flowing river water below.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
