They used a fire network of light and heavy machine guns and mortars to block the advance of nearly 5,000 Japanese troops from two regiments.
The Ninth Division's food was consumed a lot again.
The food and drink for tens of thousands of people is a very huge amount. Even the transportation of supplies by the logistics troops requires at least three brigades of troops to carry out uninterrupted replenishment to ensure transportation.
At night, Yoshika Ryosuke summoned his staff officers and commanders and decided to discuss the way out for tomorrow.
Chief of Staff Nakagawa Guangda has been killed in the battle guarding Cangyun Peak. Yoshika Ryosuke was missing someone who could give him advice, and he felt disappointed in his heart.
"Everyone should know the situation of the army better than I do. Although we have appropriately reduced the daily food rations for the soldiers, the remaining food is only enough to sustain us for three days.
After three days, our soldiers will go to eat the bark and leaves. "
As Yoshika Ryosuke spoke, he looked at the people of the Ninth Division with his bloodshot eyes.
"Major General Ishikawa is still leading his two regiments to support us. If they can come over and we attack from the front and back, we will definitely be able to knock down Cangyun Peak." said a Japanese regiment captain.
But as soon as these words were spoken, Ji Jialiangfu responded in a deep voice: "You are right, but this idea is only useful when the enemy's main force does not come to support Cangyun Peak.
But now the enemy's main force has been reinforced, totaling tens of thousands of troops. Major General Ishikawa was blocked by more than 2,000 enemies behind Cangyun Peak and could not support him. Even if they could support him, were the enemy's troops on both sides of Cangyun Peak just for show? "
"But do we have any other choice?" the officer asked.
A staff officer said: "Based on the current situation, we only have the following options left.
The first is to choose to break out while our main force is still there and we still have three days of food rations. But this is no different from running away. It is said to be a scattered breakout, but in fact it is a retreat.
The second is to fight the enemy to the death. Even if you lose, you are still standing! ! ! "
The last one is the plan you mentioned, waiting for the support of Major General Ishikawa's two regiments. Then look for opportunities to turn the tide of battle. But if the enemy defends Cangyun Peak, this will still be difficult to achieve. "
Yoshika Ryosuke pondered for a long time. In fact, these three plans all have limitations that cannot be implemented. Only the second option is more heroic, and the probability of success of the third option is also very small.
"By the way, we can ask the aviation force to airdrop supplies to us. This way we can sustain it for a longer period of time. Commander-in-chief Yoshio Shinozuka will also have more time to mobilize more troops to reinforce us." Another staff officer said .
Ji Jialiangfu said: "We can request, but the guys in the aviation unit are basically unwilling to fly into the Taibai Mountain airspace. Because the enemy has unknown air defense weapons, as long as they enter this airspace, there is a high probability that they will be attacked by the enemy. The anti-aircraft weapons were shot down."
"I think we can try to get aviation support tomorrow. If it can, the whole battle situation will be a different situation. If it doesn't work, even if it doesn't work, we can't disperse and flee!" said the staff officer.
Yoshika Ryosuke really couldn't think of any other better plan at this time, so he immediately sent a telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio and asked him to put pressure on the aviation unit, asking them to let the aviation unit airdrop supplies to them no matter what. .
After receiving the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka also knew that if this continued, the Ninth Division might repeat the fate of the 16th Division.
The aviation unit is naturally reluctant. In their long-term flight missions, any flight that passed through Taibai Mountain or was directed toward Taibai Mountain, whether it was a reconnaissance aircraft, a transport aircraft, or even a fighter jet with a high altitude, would be intercepted by the enemy. Beat it down.
But this time Yoshio Shinozuka put pressure on them directly through their commander-in-chief. This makes it impossible for these aviation lords to carry out airdrop support even if they don't want to.
So they gathered a lot of food from some surrounding warehouses that night and put it in boxes, planning to airdrop it at dawn the next day.
They thought that people were usually still sleeping at this time, so maybe they were lucky and wouldn't be discovered by the enemy's air defense forces.
¡° Moreover, the Japanese aviation unit also specially discussed a plan to provide supplies from three directions. every directionEach has a transport squadron, so that it can avoid the enemy's anti-aircraft fire network to the greatest extent.
What they don¡¯t know is that the air defense missile battalion under Xia Yang has basically covered the entire Taibai Mountain.
These air defense missiles can ensure a high hit rate even if they attack second-generation jet fighters. Even with advanced radar detection, they may still be able to shoot down some third-generation aircraft with backward performance.
As for the propeller aircraft used by the Japanese army, it is naturally out of the question.
As the night slowly opened, the Japanese soldiers of the Ninth Division began to eat less and less food for each meal.
There was half a bowl of rice for last night¡¯s dinner, but today only one-third was left. Even the canned beef that was distributed before was reduced from one serving for two people to one serving for three people.
This is equivalent to feeding three soldiers with the rations of one person.
There is nothing we can do about this. If we still follow the previous food standards, these soldiers will indeed be able to eat well. But accordingly, the food they stored will be consumed at a faster rate.
"Don't say that we will support them for another three days. They will be in a situation where they have no food to eat after one day."
The division commander of the 9th Division, Yoshika Ryosuke, received accurate information about the aviation unit in the middle of the night. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
