The troops of the Fourth Division and the Independent Regiment are not very familiar with the terrain of Taibai Mountain. Xia Yang sent some soldiers from the guard camp to act as their guides to lead the way for these troops.
At this time, their position was on the side and rear of the Japanese Ninth Division of Yoshika Ryosuke.
The road here was covered by jungle, and the Japanese scouts did not find this path. However, Xia Yang and his troops were able to take advantage of this path to quietly make a detour to the rear of the Japanese Ninth Division.
The chief of staff of the Japanese Ninth Division, Nakagawa Hiroshi, was looking at the dark night in the distance with a telescope. In fact, he couldn't see anything except the outline of the mountains shrouded in dark clouds.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, the latest telegram from Commander-in-Chief Yoshio Shinozuka is that a large number of enemy troops have broken through the blockade at the rear of our army and begun to move in the direction of our army." Nakagawa put down the telescope and Then he said to Yoshika Ryosuke.
At this time, Yoshika Ryosuke was not in a good mood. In fact, he had not been in a good mood these past few days. Thick dark circles hung on his face, making him look much older.
They finally captured Cangyun Peak within a week, and even Guanhe Valley was captured by them.
But what they didn¡¯t expect was that that was just the beginning. Because the defense line inside Taibai Mountain is stronger and harder to break. In addition, the heavy artillery regiment was no longer able to support them, and the shells of the mountain artillery and field artillery could not be effectively protected because the warehouses in the rear were attacked.
So their offense at this time has basically come to a standstill. Even in many cases, because the battle line was stretched a bit, their rear would often be attacked by small groups of troops that were detouring past, which greatly disturbed the Japanese army.
"I understand. Now our army has finally made some progress. If we retreat directly from here because of the enemy's appearance in the rear, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?" Ji Jialiang said.
Nakagawa said worriedly: "But you also know the combat effectiveness of these enemies. In addition, they are familiar with the terrain, and they will come out from behind us at any time. If they keep harassing us and cutting off our transportation lines, Then aren¡¯t we going to be surrounded?¡±
Yoshika Ryosuke looked at the map, then placed his finger on Cangyun Peak and said: "Cangyun Peak, the enemy will definitely attack us from here. If they want to cut off our logistics supplies, they will also capture Cangyun Peak. You should bring one immediately The people from the brigade are going to reinforce Cangyun Peak and be sure to hold on there."
Nakagawa Guangda nodded and said: "Okay, I will immediately send a brigade of troops to defend Cangyun Peak. You and the other two divisions will step up the attack. We really don't have much time left." With that, he added I looked at the dark cloudy sky above my head with great concern.
It is now the rainy season. There had been no rain for two consecutive months, but it has been cloudy these past few days. If this rain comes, there is no doubt that it will be a heavy rain.
That will cause more difficulties for the Japanese army¡¯s logistics supply troops. The Japanese army in the mountains, not only the 9th Division, but also the other two divisions, will have a very difficult life.
Although Xia Yang and the others were operating behind the Japanese army, as long as they were in Taibai Mountain, he was not worried about the supply of supplies for his troops.
Because they have a large number of secret warehouses storing supplies in Taibai Mountain.
Those warehouses were designed by the Japanese engineer Uesugi Butu on the cliffs, so it was difficult for the Japanese army to find them. Others are buried deep underground, and only by finding the correct entrance and exit can the materials inside be taken out.
The first thing Xia Yang and his troops did after entering Taibai Mountain was to take their troops to the first supply location.
That place is considered the outskirts of Taibai Mountain, and most of the Japanese troops have already rushed into Taibai Mountain.
The entrance to this supply location is under the roots of a towering ancient tree. After peeling back the stones and turf covering it, you can see a huge cement slab covering it.
Xia Yang summoned more than a dozen soldiers before they worked together to lift the cement slab.
Li Yunlong and Chen Shiliang were also very surprised when they saw this scene.
They had known that Taibai Mountain was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, but they did not expect that Xia Yang actually had extra supplies hidden around Taibai Mountain to supply troops for use in guerrilla operations.
Xia Yang stood at the door of the warehouse and said with a smile: "Old Chen, Old Li, come in and take a look?"
Li Yunlong said unceremoniously: "Then we, Old Li, will give Commander Xia some face and go in and take a look."With that said, he swaggered down the stairs and walked into the warehouse.
The interior of this warehouse is reinforced with stones, and a thick layer of concrete and waterproof coating are applied to prevent rainwater from penetrating through the soil below.
This warehouse can¡¯t be considered a very big warehouse, but it still has an area of ??700 to 800 square meters. There are five small compartments in the warehouse, and each compartment contains different supplies.
Some are equipped with weapons, including light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and many rifles. There are also large amounts of food and dry food placed in some. Others hold ammunition and medicine.
Li Yunlong walked around inside and his mouth watered. The ammunition and other materials inside are enough to equip a regiment of troops.
"A lot of ammunition was consumed in Lingqiu County. Each unit will count it and then move it from this warehouse." Xia Yang said to Chen Shiliang and Li Yunlong.
Hearing Xia Yang's words, Li Yunlong immediately said with eagerness: "Commander Xia, if you say that, we, Old Li, will be rude."
Zhao Gang, who was standing next to him, saw this and realized that Li Yunlong was most likely falsely reporting battle expenses, and then took a lot of supplies and equipment from Xia Yang for nothing.
So he cleared his throat and said: "Old Li, can't you be too rude?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
