I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

In the Fifth War Zone, Li Zongren received the news that the aid had been dispatched, and he was very impressed by the commander-in-chief's magnanimity. No one could have imagined that the commander-in-chief would go against all objections at the military meeting and strongly support the Fifth War Zone.

More than 200 trucks of arms have arrived in Xinyang from Wuhan, and it is estimated that they will reach the Xuzhou war zone in two or three days.

Li Zongren understood that this was because the commander-in-chief saw that the battlefields of the Battle of Xuzhou had entered a stalemate and had gained confidence in the Fifth War Zone. Most of these arms were bullets and artillery shells, which were a timely help to the frontline troops.

Although there was a reverse slope tactic, the artillery shells were becoming less and less. Many artillery positions were no longer willing to fire at the skirmish lines. They had to leave enough artillery shells to prevent the Japanese army from charging in groups. Since countless fake artillery positions were set up, the bombers also lost interest in the artillery positions. They could not bomb them all, really could not bomb them all.

Li Zongren attached great importance to this batch of supplies and arms. He knew that Wang Mingzhang had three platoon-level special operations forces, known as the Southern Sichuan Special Operations Company. Many of the backbone forces were trained by Leng Qiang himself. Li Zongren wrote a handwritten order, ordering the signalman to deliver it to Wang Mingzhang's unit as quickly as possible, and ordering the Southern Sichuan Special Operations Company to quickly leave Bozhou to the west to welcome and guard the transportation of arms.

The three special operations platoons were extremely excited when they received the news. Although it was just a protection mission, this was an order from the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone. The team withdrew from the battlefield, and after Wang Mingzhang personally gave a speech, they took the warrant, got on the fully fueled truck and set off quickly.

At this time, the difference between the regular army and the miscellaneous army could be seen. The headquarters not only provided support with arms, but also did not forget to give instructions. Of the more than 200 vehicles of arms, Tang Enbo's 20th Army occupied 60 vehicles, and the rest were left to the Fifth War Zone to distribute according to the situation of the defensive forces.

Everyone got used to the news and didn't think there was anything wrong. They were just happy. Although there were some losses in artillery, there was no big shortage. The most serious shortage was artillery shells and bullets, especially machine gun bullets, which were consumed too quickly. Now that support was coming soon, the highest commanders of various departments were full of confidence in the upcoming defense.

It is not known whether the news leaked from the Supreme Command or the Wuhan Military Supplies Department, but the news of more than 200 trucks of aid reached the ears of Japanese spies. After being passed on several times, the news landed on the desk of Terauchi Hisaichi.

After reading the telegram, Terauchi Hisaichi realized that the Fifth War Zone was going to fight to the death with him! This batch of supplies must not enter Xuzhou, otherwise it will cause serious harm to the imperial soldiers. He ordered the new head of the Special High Section to destroy it on the way.

Shells? Bullets? These were the two things the Japanese army feared the most when they launched a mass charge.

The special operations company met the team escorting supplies in Bozhou. The team protecting the supplies and ammunition was a reinforced regiment. After they revealed their identities, the person in charge, Captain Wang Xinhua, breathed a sigh of relief. They had been terrified all the way and did not dare to enter any city for fear that something might go wrong with the munitions. If something went wrong with this batch of munitions and the Battle of Xuzhou was delayed, they would be finished and no one could save them.

Wang Xinhua was greatly envious when he saw the equipment of the welcoming team. They wore steel helmets, carried submachine guns and box guns on their bodies, and had Japanese melon grenades, bayonets, and military boots hanging on their waists. Their eyes were gleaming and their postures were upright. At first glance, they were an elite force.

This was actually bought by Li Zongren for the Lone Wolf Commando, but the commando did not need it for the time being, so Li Zongren transferred it to Wang Mingzhang's unit. Wang Mingzhang did not hesitate and formed the Southern Sichuan Special Operations Company that night using the foundation of Teng County's elite platoon.

The special operations company did not continue to ride in the car. Instead, it showed Li Zongren's handwritten order to the national army stationed in Bozhou and replaced it with a hundred military horses. With a platoon in the front to lead the way, a platoon in the middle to guard both sides, and a platoon in the back to provide protection, the team continued to move forward.

The convoy continued on its journey. The platoon leader in charge of leading the way was Yang Ming, who had been led by Chen Feng. Previously, he was just a medic in the elite platoon, but because he had some martial arts skills, he made rapid progress after joining the Lone Wolf Commando and learned a lot of the Lone Wolf Commando's tactical essentials. When Wang Mingzhang formed the Southern Sichuan Special Operations Company, the first platoon leader selected was this medic.

Yang Ming has a special admiration for the Lone Wolf Commando, especially their captain Leng Qiang. Their skills and achievements are far beyond his reach, but Yang Ming is very hardworking. Whether training himself or his subordinates, he is very strict. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be convinced first and then let him go.

On the western front, the Southern Sichuan Special Operations Company continuously carried out raids, harassment, blasting, and ambushes on the Japanese army, and achieved excellent results.

The convoy was fully loaded with arms and was not moving very fast. Yang Ming ordered the team members to scout every suspicious location. There was no situation as they had just left Bozhou.

After the team passed Wolong Town, unidentified armed personnel began to appear. As soon as the enemy drew their guns, the submachine guns would fire a burst of shots. Even if the enemy claimed that they had no ill intentions, the special forces would control them and search them. If they were found carrying weapons, they would be shot in the head without asking any questions. Even if they were unarmed, their pants would be stripped off for inspection. If they were short, bow-legged or wearing a loincloth, they would be shot immediately.

On the way from Wolong Town to Huaibei, they encountered dozens of ambushes. The largest one was when dozens of armed men covered with grenades saw that the ambush was exposed and launched a desperate charge on the convoy. However, they were blown into piles of minced meat by submachine guns.

Wang Xinhua was wiping his sweat while sitting in the truck. It was so terrible. If there was no support force, the convoy would be finished, and he would be finished too.

After passing Huaibei, there were more sneak attacks. The three special operations platoon leaders gave orders that if any suspicious person approached, they should open fire immediately without asking for permission. It was of great importance. Whether this batch of ammunition could reach Xuzhou was related to the time that the various fronts in Xuzhou could hold out, so they could not be careless at all.

Yang Ming sent a message to Wang Mingzhang through the convoy radio, saying that they had encountered too many ambushes and were worried that the enemy would launch a large-scale attack. He requested support from the Fifth War Zone, and Wang Mingzhang quickly passed the message to the headquarters.

Li Zongren received the telegram and thought that the Japanese were crazy! However, he did not dare to be careless. Tang Enbo's guard regiment was waiting to escort the arms. The regiment commander knew that the situation was serious and ordered the guard regiment officers and soldiers to quickly set off on trucks to meet the arms escort regiment without waiting for Tang Enbo's order.

Tang Enbo's guard regiment met the convoy in Baitu Town. The Southern Sichuan Special Operations Company had suffered combat damage, with four members killed and eight injured to varying degrees. They had lost their combat effectiveness, and their horses could not run, so they were thrown to the Huaibei City Defense Army.

Li Zongren ordered the guard regiment to be deployed under the special operations company. Yang Ming was not polite and ordered the convoy to increase the distance. All officers and soldiers of the guard regiment got off the vehicles and joined the defense teams on both sides. Now they not only had to face sneak attacks from small groups of troops, but also had to defend against air attacks.

When the convoy arrived at Yinshan, Yang Ming ordered it to stop and drove into the Yinshan forest to hide. There were still three hours before dark, and this place was already within the combat radius of Japanese bombers, so they could no longer move forward during the day.

Sure enough, more than an hour later, Japanese bombers appeared, circled for a long time, did not find the convoy, dropped bombs on the Yinshan Forest, and returned.

Although the convoy was well hidden, several trucks of ammunition were destroyed and the forest began to burn. Yang Ming ordered the convoy to move away from the fire and continue to hide.

As it got dark, the convoy continued on its way. The special operations platoon protecting in the middle joined the team on guard in the front. The special operations members of the two platoons cleared the way in a cone shape. They searched the dangerous terrain first and shot at anyone they saw. There were no accidental killings. After the deaths, they checked for explosives and weapons. After going through untold hardships, the convoy finally arrived in Xuzhou city safely at twelve o'clock in the night.
