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

When Chen Feng brought Shen Honglie to the cave, Liu Caiyun was already ready. She didn't know where she learned the seductive and charming manner. She was about to raise her fingertips and shout "Big Boss" when she was interrupted by Chen Feng:

"Go and take care of the wounded! Guard the entrance of the musket hole and no one is allowed to approach."

It's all over. After practicing for a whole morning, I don't have to act anymore. Liu Caiyun felt a little aggrieved:

"Yes"!

The two sat down. Although the weather in July was very hot, the cave was still very cool. There were openings in the front and back for ventilation, and it was not as humid as ordinary caves. It was an excellent place.

The two men drank wine and ate food, and their topics covered all over the world, with a feeling that they had met too late. Chen Feng was quite impressed by the ruthless man in front of him. At that time, he had eliminated many Japanese troops outside Qingdao. When he was preparing to retreat, he set fire to the Japanese factories in Qingdao, firmly implementing the spirit of scorched earth resistance.

Shen Honglie had nothing to say to Chen Feng. Just the two words "cold gun" were enough to make most anti-Japanese organizations waver. Shen Honglie did not control his alcohol intake and drank half a catty of white liquor. His words were not clear, but his mind was still very clear:

"Brother, although I won a great victory and received commendation from my superiors, I know in my heart that once the Japanese army begins to encircle and suppress us with heavy troops, it will be difficult to have any way out. It is not surprising that the entire army will be wiped out. I admire your strategic vision very much. Do you have any good plans?"

"Brother Shen, in the struggle behind enemy lines, we cannot abandon the city, but we cannot defend it to the death either. We must leave a few routes open at the critical moment. Now, there is still a big gap between us and the Japanese army. Whether it is air strikes or clustered heavy artillery, the casualties to us are too great. I suggest that if the gap is too big, do not fight to the death, and immediately retreat into the mountains, use strategic depth to break the enemy's siege, and you will always find an opportunity to destroy them."

"Okay, brother. I will go back and think about it seriously. But you have to leave me a way out. If I am really unlucky, I will hide in your mountain. You can't turn me away."

"Don't worry, Brother Shen. My Yimeng guerrillas are part of the anti-Japanese war. No matter who gets into trouble, we will not stand idly by. In addition, we can establish radio contact, so when there is an emergency, we can quickly communicate and pass on information."

After three hours of drinking, the guards at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain were extremely worried. They were really afraid that this group of bandits would attack their leader. When the guards saw their leader coming down the mountain drunk with the help of the Black Eagle leader, calling him "brother" all the time, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Heiwa asked someone to hand over the two boxes to the guard squad. When the guard squad leader saw the officer nod, he signaled two men to take them away. The two guards were almost knocked down. Although the boxes were not big, one hundred large yellow croakers weighed sixty kilograms. The guard squad leader was a little curious. Was the officer bribed by the bandits?

After seeing off Shen Honglie and his party, Chen Feng summoned six platoon leaders and issued a task. Tomorrow, Yishui City will transport explosives and cement to Mengshan by truck. This must be taken seriously. All night training will be suspended tonight to ensure adequate sleep.

The first platoon of the first company was on guard against the Japanese and puppet troops in Pingyi City. The first platoon of the second company and the first platoon of the third company were responsible for guarding and escorting on horseback to ensure the safety of transportation. The second platoon of the first company, the second platoon of the second company and the second platoon of the third company were responsible for receiving supplies and transporting them up the mountain.

Qin Qirong received a telegram from Commander Shen. He didn't understand why Commander Shen was so optimistic about a group of bandits, but he knew that his commander would not do anything meaningless. He ordered the New Fourth Division's transportation battalion to prepare overnight, bring all the tools, and turn to Yinan North the next morning to deliver supplies to Mengshan.

Shen Honglie was very generous. In addition to explosives, twelve trucks transported two loads of cement in one day. Chen Feng was not stingy either. He gave each soldier who transported the goods twenty yuan, and also provided braised pork and big steamed buns at noon. If the cement was not running out, all the transporting soldiers would have wanted to make a few more trips to eat meat and get money. They had never encountered such a good thing before. They ate the fat but not greasy braised pork with big mouthfuls, and envied the bandits in the mountains. This was simply the life of a local emperor!

With cement, the tunnel became more solid. Pillars were added to all unstable places, and the shooting holes were all fixed with cement. As long as the Japanese dared to come, the hillside would be covered with fertilizer.

On July 7, the Japanese army finally made a move. A spy reported that an infantry regiment of nearly 28 people entered Pingyi City. It seemed that they came from the direction of Sishui. The target was most likely Shen Honglie's troops stationed in Mengyin. In addition to various infantry guns and indirect fire guns, the regiment brought eight 75mm mountain guns.

Chen Feng immediately gave the signalman an order:

"Convey the news about the Japanese Army Corps to Commander Shen's headquarters and remind them to be prepared."

"In addition, send more spies to Pingyi City to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops and report any actions promptly."

"Notify all companies and platoons to cease all long-distance raid training and focus on tunnel construction. Be ready to be called at any time."

"Yes"!

After giving the order, Chen Feng studied the simple map seized from the Japanese. From Pingyi to Mengyin, there were many terrains suitable for ambushes, especially the line from Baimaquan to Niutouyu, which was a terrain of two mountains and a ravine. However, with the lesson of Ono's regiment, the Japanese would definitely not be careless again. His own team had less than 200 people at most, and it was a bit beyond their capabilities for 200 people to ambush 3,000 people.

However, Liancheng Township in the south of Mengyin City is also more suitable for ambush. Chen Feng determined the location and immediately approached Mengyin County. He believed that the Japanese army would not consider an ambush here. If the Mengyin Marines were present, the Japanese regiment could be caught off guard.

Now it depends on Shen Honglie's attitude. I contacted Shen Honglie in the communication room in the cave.

When Shen Honglie replied, Chen Feng was a little disappointed.

This big brother who he just recognized obviously did not want to send troops to ambush, thinking that an ambush outside the city had too many variables. He still wanted to rely on the county town to resist step by step. At the same time, he asked Yishui City to send a regiment to Xia Wei for support. If he really couldn't win, he would quickly retreat to the east.

This tactic is a bit dangerous! Once the Japanese army enters Mengyin City and holds it, it will not be so easy to evacuate. We must also prevent the Japanese army from dividing its forces to encircle and cut off the way to retreat eastward.

The two communicated for a long time, and the telegraph machine beeped for two hours, but they still couldn't reach an agreement.

Forget it, let's fight our own battles! Although Shen Honglie admired Leng Qiang and the Lone Wolf Commando, he didn't want to follow Leng Qiang's orders and arrangements.

Chen Feng re-studied the terrain of Mengyin and found that if the Japanese army wanted to set up artillery positions, they could only choose the hillside of Liancheng Township in the south of Mengyin City. In terms of distance and firing range, there was no place more suitable than this one.

Chen Feng was somewhat excited. The 75mm mountain cannon could be hidden in a tunnel and used as a powerful weapon!

Ordering all platoon leaders and instructors to assemble, Chen Feng prepared to arrange ambush and sneak attack missions.
