How to create a mounting point to a shared drive from a linux subsystem on a Windows machine?

I have a Windows machine (Windows-10). There I've installed the Ubuntu app from Canonical Group Limited, this allows me to have a Ubuntu subsystem, which I regularly use for grep, sort and other interesting commandline tools.

Now I have created a shared drive on another machine (\\other_machine\Log), which contains some logfiles I'd like to analyse.

I have created two mounting points in order to access the C:-drive and the D:-drive on my PC, this is working fine:

Linux Prompt$ df -hkFilesystem     1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted onC:\            999036924 731107332 267929592  74% /mnt/cD:\            976727036   2621776 974105260   1% /mnt/d

Now I guess that, in order to access the mentioned shared directory, I need to create a mounting point towards that directory.

Does anybody know how I can do that?

Thanks

Edit

I am willing to modify the /etc/mtab file, if that is what is takes:

Linux Prompt>cat /etc/mtabC:\134 /mnt/c drvfs rw,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,case=off 0 0D:\134 /mnt/d drvfs rw,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,case=off 0 0
