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

On August 8, the Japanese Imperial Conference formally decided to launch an operation to capture Wuhan.

On August 8, the Japanese army launched the autumn offensive against Wuhan. The troops had been entangled in the Dabie Mountains and the Fifth War Zone. The headquarters had lost patience and prepared to use the Yangtze River waterway and the two lakes area to launch an attack on Wuhan.

Just like in history, although the time was delayed by more than two months, the Hata Detachment still launched a surprise attack on Anqing on a rainy night. However, this time they were discovered by the special operations company as soon as they landed in Congyang Town.

While blocking the Japanese army, the special operations company sent an urgent telegram to the Anqing defenders. Anqing became tense in an instant, and the Hata Detachment lost the opportunity for a sneak attack, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. After defeating the special operations company, they quickly attacked Anqing. When they arrived in Anqing, the defenders had already prepared for it and did not give them any chance. After a night of fierce firefight, the sneak attack failed and they withdrew from Anqing, leaving behind thousands of corpses.

Defense commander Yang Sen broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't take the information sent from Chongqing seriously at all. He was afraid of a sneak attack by the Japanese with tens of thousands of troops under his command. Later, the Sichuan Army Special Operations Company was sent, but Yang Sen still didn't take it seriously. However, since they had come, he sent them to the Tongyang front line.

But what happened tonight was too terrible. If we hadn't taken precautions in advance, the defenders would not be prepared for battle at all. If the sneak attack was successful, the tens of thousands of defenders in the city would most likely be driven out of Anqing. I really can't afford the consequences of that.

The success of Anqing's defense against sneak attacks also made the top leaders realize the importance of cold gun opinions. There must be a problem with the cold gun in Ma'an Fortress, and it must not be groundless. The top leaders held a meeting overnight to deploy the troops. Finally, after discussion, they withdrew the 16th Army led by Li Yunheng, the garrison of Ma'an Fortress, and replaced it with the Marine Corps with better river defense combat capabilities. Bao Changyi was urgently promoted to the commander-in-chief of Ma'an.

Li Yunheng was confused, and so was Bao Changyi. There was no such thing as changing generals before a battle! Li Yunyan asked for a long time but couldn't find out what was going on. However, Bao Changyi didn't think too much about it. Considering the sneak attack in Anqing, he knew that this was the best opportunity he had encountered, so he ordered all troops to stop all irrelevant activities and make full preparations.

With a flick of Chen Feng's little butterfly wings, the two important nodes in the early stage of the Battle of Wuhan were at least stabilized. Although they would fall sooner or later, at least the early passivity was resolved.

The training of the Yimeng guerrillas became more and more irregular. The guards in the two cities were tight, and there were not many opportunities, so the team rushed to the surrounding cities. Each time they attacked with two horses, and they did not go close to the city defense forces. They specifically looked for artillery towers and strongholds where small troops were stationed. Traitors, landlords and rich people were also their targets. They used special warfare cold weapons to fight silently to clear the way, and the defense of these places was basically zero.

They retreated as soon as they finished fighting, and the Japanese army had no time to react, so they could only act as the body collectors again and again.

As the company commander of the third company, Wang Hanqiang followed Chen Rongwei from the third platoon of the third company to participate in the raid. They swept through three strongholds in Fei County in one night and reaped rich rewards.

Chen Rongwei was a little confused. The company commander ordered all the Japanese to be killed and only brought back grenades, machine guns and some bullets. The rest were not destroyed but thrown at the foot of the mountain as they passed by.

"Company commander, the weapons and ammunition were thrown there. Will the Japanese find them back?"

No, didn't he fire the gun?

Chen Rongwei didn't quite understand what this had to do with the shooting, and Wang Hanqiang didn't hide it:

"There are guerrillas on these mountains. Their weapons and equipment are too poor to deal with the Japanese strongholds. It is difficult for them to develop without guns and bullets. The few shots just now were to send them a message. Don't worry! They will come to pick it up."

"What if we are discovered by the Japanese? We can ambush and shoot them to lure them out?"

"How many shots were fired just now?"

"Three times, with twenty seconds in between, a total of eighteen shots. I understand, is the code correct?"

Wang Hanqiang stopped talking. There was nothing missing on the mountain, and there was no place to put the Type 99 rifles they brought back this time. However, the captain still asked them to take the weapons and ammunition back. Was he planning to store enough weapons and ammunition to fight for three years?

Like all the commandos, Wang Hanqiang never doubted his captain. He was just curious about why the captain stored so many weapons and ammunition. What if Mengshan was captured by the Japanese? Wouldn't all the weapons and ammunition be given to them?

The entire mountainous area in central Shandong was in a state of panic. These guerrillas were so annoying. They never took action during the day, but would never stop at night. Sometimes they would work all night just to capture a stronghold or eliminate a traitor. However, it was such disorganized fighting that plunged the entire mountainous area in central Shandong into chaos.

When the cement and brick bunkers were no longer effective, the Japanese army took the initiative to abandon the layout of towns and villages. These were originally strongholds waiting to grab food in the autumn, but now they had no choice but to give up.

With the help of the Yimeng guerrillas, the nearby guerrillas also developed vigorously, especially Yang Qingfeng, who had two encounters with Chen Feng. His team of 18 people has grown into more than 200 people. They surrounded the city with mountains, and fought if they could win, and ran away if they couldn't. The Japanese army did not have a large force to encircle these teams, so they had no way to deal with them.

On August 8, a plaintext telegram broke the tranquility of the early morning. The confession of a female spy named Hashimoto Sakura shocked both China and Japan.

In the telegram, Hashimoto Sakurako introduced her situation and explained that she had used disguise to gather information over the years, participated in the formulation of the South Manchuria Railway conspiracy, seduced senior KMT officials many times before the Battle of Shanghai, used her body to obtain various intelligence, and before the Battle of Nanjing, used her body to obtain the Qixia Mountain defense map, and made great efforts for the Japanese army to capture Shanghai and Nanjing.

Finally, after being awakened by the cold gunfire from the Lone Wolf Commandos, Hashimoto Sakurako decided to die to prove her loyalty. She was buried at the foot of Mount Meng, with cherry trees planted on her grave, as she waited to see the success of China's war of resistance.

The telegram was like a piece of gossip, but the more such news was, the more eye-catching it was. Few people paid attention to serious things, and such gossip instead became the topic of conversation among people after dinner.

The reason why Chen Feng released the news at this time was to make things difficult for the Japanese. The team's training was almost done, and the Japanese army would not attack again. They would run far away to gain some advantage every time. There would be no point in running like this after the team finished training and attacked.

In addition, the Japanese army is about to launch an offensive in Wuhan, and their momentum is high. It would be nice to give them some trouble.

Sure enough, Bin Shanyuan was reprimanded by the headquarters. Although the newspapers in the occupied areas strongly denied it, this scandal quickly swept across the country like a gust of wind.

The funny thing is that no one blamed the generals of the National Army for not being able to resist the temptation. For such a beauty who has been trained since childhood, it is difficult for a hero to resist the temptation of beauty! Isn't this the case with the great hero Lu Bu? The play has been played out everywhere.
