The little piggy man returned to the tent without saying a word.
When Tsubuzaki followed him into the tent, he saw that Xiaozhu Yoshio had spread out the topographic map of Damei Mountain on the canvas table and was working on the map with a pencil and square ruler.
While doing homework on the map, Xiaozhu Yinan asked: "If the embankment is not covered with mulberry, how much drinking water is left now?"
"Division commander, there is not much left." Tsubuzaki said while watching Xiaozhu Yoshio's work on the map, "There are about ten tons of drinking water left in the baggage regiment's reserve. Several water sources can produce enough water every day. The collected drinking water is almost a ton and a half, so storing such a small amount of drinking water is really a drop in the bucket."
Ten tons of water may seem like a lot, but it is not.
Because the 10th Division had a total of 20,000 people. Although they fought with the Independent Regiment on Houtou Ridge for almost three days, not many people actually died in the battle, but many were injured. But these wounded soldiers, He needs water more than normal people, so his drinking water consumption has increased a lot compared to before.
In addition, there are more than a thousand horses.
Even if horses are not considered and only personnel consumption is ensured, it is still a huge number. According to the minimum standard, each person needs to consume at least one liter of water per day. Considering that it is hot summer, this number can only be more but not less, otherwise, the soldiers will Various symptoms will occur due to lack of water, and physical fitness will decline sharply.
One liter of water per person, 20,000 liters for 20,000 people, a full 20 tons of water!
This is only one day, and the 10th Division now only has ten tons of drinking water left, which is indeed very dangerous.
Although there are still several water sources within the control area of the Japanese army, these water sources are not groundwater, but are surface water collections. Due to the recent days of drought, such water collections are drying up quickly, and now they still have water every day. I can barely collect about a ton of water, but in a few days, there may not even be half a ton.
The pencil in Xiaozhu Yinan's hand paused, and he said in a deep voice: "Stop drinking water for all horses. The daily drinking water for non-combatants is two hundred milliliters, just to ensure that they don't die of thirst. The remaining drinking water will be given priority." Ensure that combat troops, the drinking water ration for combat troops should not be less than one liter.”
"Hai." Di Bujiagui nodded heavily.
If this is the case, the reserve of drinking water can almost guarantee the needs of an infantry regiment for three days.
In other words, within three days, the 10th Division still had a fully formed regiment for breakout operations.
After a while, Xiaozhu Yinan finished his homework on the map, and then called Tsubasa Ki to walk to the map.
"The embankment is clear of mulberry, you see." Xiaozhu Yinan pointed at the map with a pencil and said, "These are the three breakout routes I have marked. The first one is to return to the original route and withdraw from Damei Mountain through Heifengkou. This route It’s best to leave now, but unfortunately, the Independent Regiment actually opened an underground river under Fotiao Cliff, creating a natural chasm.”
"Hai." Di Bujiagui paused and said, "According to the feedback from the scouts, the underground river where Buddha Jumps off the Cliff is more than fifty meters wide and thirty meters deep. It is very difficult for the engineering team to build the bridge. What’s more, due to the shortage of water sources, the engineering unit is unable to carry out bridge erecting operations at all, so this route may be unworkable.”
"No, the embankment is not covered with mulberry. You are wrong." Xiaozhu Yinan waved his hand and said, "This route still needs to be tried. We must not give up any possibility." After a pause, Xiaozhu Yinan said again, "Although the engineers cannot build the bridge, if they can destroy the Chinese Army on the opposite side, the main force of the division can also cross the underground river with only the zip rope."
"Hai." Di Bujiagui nodded and said, "This humble position is not well thought out and makes the division commander laugh."
Xiaozhu Yinan waved his hand and said: "However, we cannot place all our hopes on this route. The battle at Houtou Ridge made me fully realize that the Dameishan Independent Regiment is definitely a tenacious fighter. Troops, just the one brigade left behind to guard Heifengkou may not be able to defeat the independent regiment garrison of Fo Tiao Ya!"
"Hai." Dibujia Gui paused and said, "So, what about the other two lines?"
Xiaozhu Yinan pointed at the map with a pencil and said in a deep voice: "The other two routes cannot be called roads at all, they are just two valleys. I have already considered it. Since they are valleys, there will be streams. At present, due to the continuous drought, these streams have stopped flowing and the river beds have been exposed, but they can be used as marching routes."
"Using the riverbed of the stream as the marching route?" Di Bujiagui frowned and said, "Division Commander, in this way, the baggage carried by the army will be greatly restricted. Let's not talk about anything else. The 10th Field Artillery Regiment I'm afraid all the artillery can only be abandoned in Damei Mountain, and there are still excess supplies that must also be discarded."
Xiaozhu Yinan gritted his teeth and said: "All heavy equipment and excess supplies will be destroyed. The entire army will only retain the rations and ammunition required for three days of combat. Not even a bullet or a grain of rice is allowed to be left for independence." Group." After saying that, the little pig boy threw the pencil away again and said in a deep voice: "Now, I give the order."
Di Bujiagui quickly stood up and stood at attention, then nodded slightly.
Xiaozhu Yinan said in a deep voice: "This breakout is divided into three groups. The division headquarters, field hospital and the 63rd Infantry Regiment break out from the direction of Fotiao Cliff and Heifengkou; the 8th Infantry Brigade Headquarters, the Engineer Regiment The 39th Infantry Regiment and the 39th Infantry Regiment broke out from the valley on the north side of Qingfeng Mountain Road; the 33rd Infantry Brigade Headquarters, Field Artillery Regiment, Baggage Regiment and the remnants of the 40th Infantry Regiment broke out from Qingfeng Mountain Road. Breakout in the valley on the south side. After breaking through, the troops do not have to stay and can go straight to Pucheng to wait for orders."
After a pause, Xiaozhu Yinan gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see how the Independent Regiment left our 10th Division behind!"
"Hai." Di Bujiagui nodded heavily and said, "Division Commander, for the sake of safety, do you need to report the breakout plan to the Condemned Army Headquarters, and also request the Dispatched Condemned Army Headquarters to mobilize troops from other fronts? Answer?"
"Deploying troops from other fronts to respond?" Xiaozhu Yinan shook his head and said, "The 9th and 13th divisions stationed in Bengbu and Huainan have been deployed on the battlefield in Wuhan. Now the only ones closest to Dameishan are stationed in Feicheng. The Sixth Division of the Sixth Division has not recovered since it was crippled in Feicheng more than three months ago. I heard people say that soldiers in the Sixth Division would wake up in the middle of the night when they heard Xu Rui's name. Count on them, forget it.”
"Hai." Tsubujia Gui nodded and said, "But I still think that I should report it to the headquarters of the dispatched condemnation army."
"Okay." Xiaozhu Yinan said in an all-round way, "There is nothing wrong with the cause. You are the chief of staff, and this is what you should do."
"Hai." Tebujiagui paused again, then turned around and walked away.
Watching Ti Bujiagui's figure disappear outside the tent, Xiaozhu Yinan withdrew his gaze again, looked at the western sky and murmured to himself: "Xu Rui, you won this contest, but don't think it's over. My adopted son Xiaozhu will come back, and our 10th Division will come back, just wait!"
(Dividing line)
Black Dragon Valley, Black Dragon Pool.
The soldier took a handful of cold water from the pool and threw it on his face. He felt cool to the bone, but it still had the smell of blood, which was not very comfortable. After all, many little devils died in the Black Dragon Pool. Hundreds of people, the blood shed by so many devils cannot be diluted so easily.
With a contented sigh, the soldier said to Leng Tiefeng again: "Captain, there has been no movement all morning. It seems that the little devil has scared us and we don't dare to come to the Black Dragon Pond to get water."
Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said, "Don't take it lightly."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Mountain Leopard ran back from the valley in front of him like he was flying.
Seeing the Mountain Leopard coming back, the Langya team members who were sitting or lying around the Black Dragon Pond and resting all got up one after another, and at the same time took all the weapons lying at their feet in their hands.
The Siberian tiger said excitedly: "The little devil is here again? These dogs are doing pretty well."
"Japanese?" Zhuanshan Bao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and gasped, "Japanese are not here."
"The Japs didn't come?" The Siberian tiger was also stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "You bastard, how about you run a ball?"
"The kid didn't come, but he's making a big move!" After Zuanshanbao finished speaking, he turned to Leng Tiefeng and said, "Captain, I just saw clearly outside the mountain pass that the kid was packing his luggage and took everything The heavy equipment and supplies were gathered together, and they poured gasoline on it and put explosives on it. I didn’t know what they wanted to do.”
"What?" Leng Tiefeng said, "The Japanese gathered all the heavy equipment and supplies together and poured gasoline on them?"
Zhuanshan Leopard nodded and said, "I'm also confused. What is this little devil trying to do? Is his life over?"
"You bastard, the Japanese are trying to escape!" Leng Tiefeng snorted, turned around and shouted, "Every sniper team."
More than 20 members of the three sniper teams of Xiao Taohong, Zuan Shanbao and Han Feng quickly stood at attention, and Leng Jun's eyes were all directed at Leng Tiefeng.
Leng Tiefeng said in a deep voice: "Work separately as a group and keep an eye on the little devils. If you find anything, report it to me immediately."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
The more than 20 team members agreed and went separately.
In just a moment, more than twenty camouflaged Wolf Fang members disappeared among the mountains.
Immediately afterwards, the Siberian tiger, the boa constrictor, and the soldiers all gathered in front of Leng Tiefeng and asked: "Captain, where are we?"
Leng Tiefeng's eyes swept over the faces of the three fire team leaders and the three assault team leaders, including Sai Hongfu, Mo Zichen, and the Decepticons, and he said murderously: "The fire team and the assault team also need to seize the time to replenish their batteries. After dark, it will be time for you to show your strength. This time, let the little devils experience the power of our Wolf Fang Squadron!"
"Yes!" The five team leaders responded loudly, with excited expressions. Only Sai Hongfu suddenly felt disgusted, turned over and squatted by the pool and retched violently. (To be continued.)
