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

Shen Honglie's cavalry regiment withdrew and did not return to Yishui. He asked Chen Feng for some arms and planned to directly operate Menglianggu. The two defensive battles of the Yimeng guerrillas made Shen Honglie jealous. He prepared to survey the terrain overnight and did not want to wait a moment.

All the spoils from the foot of the mountain were carried up by horses. Twenty mountain cannons were hit by side fire, and only eight were left. However, there were still nearly a thousand shells. Three heavy machine guns were also put into the tunnel. There was still a lot of cement left, so we could continue building the bunker tomorrow.

Excluding the arms sent to Shen Honglie, the spoils this time were also very impressive. The Japanese attacking forces had no chance to use their weapons and all their weapons and ammunition were preserved.

Eight mountain cannons and 850 shells.

Three Type 92 heavy machine guns and more than 20,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets.

In addition to the thirty Type 99 light machine guns given to Shen Honglie, there were forty-five intact ones and more than 30,000 rounds of bullets of the same model.

In addition to the two thousand Type 38 rifles given to Shen Honglie, there were more than 2,200 intact rifles, and more than 100,000 rifle bullets were found.

Eight hundred melon grenades were given to Shen Honglie, leaving the guerrillas with more than 1,100 grenades.

There were thirty-two grenade launchers and more than three hundred special artillery shells, which were divided equally between him and Shen Honglie.

Chen Feng was a little overwhelmed, and he could hardly put it down! Should he notify the nearby guerrillas to come to Mengshan to get some arms? There was no shortage of bullets, light and heavy machine guns, but there were too many Type 38 rifles, and it was a bit of a waste to keep them in the cave.

The clear-code telegram was still fermenting. After Shen Honglie's proof, Chongqing directly issued a war situation report and a commendation order:

"The New Fourth Division of Shen Honglie's army joined forces with the Yimeng guerrillas to ambush and annihilate 6,000 Japanese soldiers of the Iwai Toranosuke Brigade in Mengshan. From the brigade commander Iwai Toranosuke, no one escaped. In view of the outstanding performance of the New Fourth Division and the Yimeng guerrillas, both sides were rewarded with 100,000 oceans each."

The simple report slapped Bin Shanyuan in the face again. The Japanese army had no choice but to swallow their anger. Bin Shanyuan ordered the defenders of Pingmeng and Mengcheng to find out what was going on. It was too weird. Six thousand soldiers! They couldn't just disappear like this.

Since the destruction of the Panjing Tiger Brigade, the Japanese army has really quieted down. They were reluctant to give up the two cities of Pingmeng. Each county town was replenished with a squadron of troops and defended with all their might. No attack was allowed without orders.

Shen Honglie was vigorously building Menglianggu. The Marines searched among the mountains and opened a passage for mule and horse carts to transport cement from Yishui City. They did not forget their good neighbors, the Yimeng guerrillas, and several trucks of cement were sent to Mengshan every day.

The three tunnels in Mengshan are also continuing to be expanded and reinforced, and some bunkers have been added to each tunnel.

"Report"!

"Come in".

"Captain, someone has come to seek refuge from the foot of the mountain again, and he's here for your reputation. He said he won't go back until he sees you again."

Chen Feng smiled bitterly. Since he took the initiative to expose himself, many people have come. Some wanted to join him in fighting the Japanese, some just came to see him, and some wanted to take advantage of the situation. Chen Feng rejected them all. Although his name could be exposed, he dared not let others know his real identity. He had a large group of relatives in Beizhuang. Once his real identity was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Ask clearly who they are. If they meet the requirements, let the second company commander review them. If they don't meet the requirements, let them leave quickly and don't hurt anyone. But don't be too polite. We are still bandits, don't you understand?"

"Yes"!

Chen Feng had been in contact with Li Yunyan so that he could grasp the details of the Battle of Wuhan. Li Yunyan would send Chen Feng a battle report every night. The communicator was only responsible for monitoring and recording, and the rest was deciphered and translated by Chen Feng himself.

In Wuhan, the Japanese army finally occupied Anqing and attacked westwards with Anqing as their base camp, and the Ma'an Fortress came to life. This was a fortress set up with the help of the Germans. As an important river defense node on the Yangtze River, it had an absolute defensive advantage. It was messed up by the commander-in-chief Li Yunyan in the previous life, but it was stabilized this time.

On August 1938, 8, the Japanese Hata Detachment and the 28th Fleet of the Navy invaded from Anqing up the river to the west. After two days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army was unable to open up the waterway.

On the morning of August 8, the Japanese army landed part of its forces at Maolinzhou and Xiangkou, east of Madang. Then, along a stretch of water full of reeds at the mouth of Taibai Lake, they launched an outflanking assault on Changshan, the core position of the fortress.

Bao Changyi, the commander of the Second Corps of the Chinese Jiang Defense Army, was temporarily promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Ma'an Fortress. He personally commanded the defenders to open fire, and the enemy soldiers were shot and fell into the lake. Bao Changyi considered everything very comprehensively and correctly judged the Japanese attack trends. The Japanese attacked four times, but were repelled.

Once the Madang Fortress was held, the Japanese attacking forces would be in trouble. This was the gateway to Jiujiang in the west. If the gate could not be opened, there would be no way to attack.

In Chongqing, the top leaders commended Bao Changyi's troops for their courageous resistance and were proud of their own impromptu decision. Thanks to the replacement of Li Yunyan, otherwise they would not have discovered a defensive stalwart like Bao Changyi.

Seeing that the river defense could not be breached, the Japanese army stepped up its offensive in the Dabie Mountain area. The pressure on the Fifth War Zone doubled, but the layers of blocking in the canyons and mountain passes still limited the speed of the Japanese army's attack.

Chen Feng, who was far away in the Yimeng Mountains, thought of another thing. The time for the Japanese army to attack Daya Bay in Guangdong was not far away! Chen Feng remembered that the purpose of the attack on Daya Bay was to quickly occupy Guangzhou, cut off the Guangdong-Hankou Railway and the traffic on the Pearl River and Xijiang River, and block China's connection with the outside world, so as to support the Battle of Wuhan.

I forgot the exact time, but Chen Feng decided to give a reminder. As for whether to believe it or not, and how to defend, it is not something I can control.

After receiving the telegram, Li Yunyan immediately reported it to Li Zongren. Li Zongren did not dare to delay and quickly ordered a secret message to Chongqing.

Chongqing attached great importance to this. Both Anqing City and Ma'an Fortress proved Leng Qiang's strategic vision. The top leaders convened some key members to discuss the matter. They all agreed that Leng Qiang's judgment was likely to become a reality. A group of important officials broke out in cold sweats. Once the Japanese sneak attack was successful, outside aid would really be cut off.

In order to prevent sneak attacks, the first thing is to increase the vigilance of the troops, and the second is to send reinforcements. Now the battle in Wuhan is very tense, and it can be said that there are no troops to send.

The 12th Army Group of the Fourth War Zone was responsible for defending Guangzhou, with about 12 troops. The commander-in-chief of the war zone was He Yingqin, and the commander-in-chief of the th Army Group was Yu Hanmou. Not knowing when the Japanese army would launch a surprise attack, the top leaders did not dare to recall the generals for face-to-face instructions. So they secretly went to Guangzhou under the pretext of inspecting the defense of the Fourth War Zone and spent a day giving face-to-face instructions to He Yingqin and Yu Hanmou.

The two men saw the importance of the matter and were a little nonchalant at first. But when they heard that Leng Qiang's suggestions on Anqing and Madang were effective, they became cautious and understood the importance of the matter. Once the Japanese army's sneak attack was successful and the aid route was cut off, China's war of resistance would really fall into dire straits.
