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

The news of the Japanese army's siege of Mengshan was passed to the government through Shen Honglie's troops. A group of bigwigs hurriedly discussed countermeasures. A detachment! Leng Qiang not only led the team to destroy the Jinpu Line, but also forced a detachment attacking Wuhan to withdraw. Although there were less than 10,000 people, it was nothing to the tens of millions of Wuhan battles, but a few hundred troops tied down tens of thousands of people, which was already proud enough.

The Yimeng guerrillas must not fail, at least they must not die at the hands of the Japanese. The top leaders went to Wuhan in person to discuss countermeasures with Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone. However, they were too far away to reach the target, and only Shen Honglie's troops could provide support to Mengshan. A telegram was sent to Shen Honglie's troops, asking them to go to Mengshan for support no matter what.

Upon learning that 2,000 men of Shen Honglie's army had entered Menglianggu and built permanent defenses, the top leaders were greatly impressed. They asked Shen Honglie to communicate with Leng Qiang and ensure that support was provided. Yishui City should be abandoned, and as long as Leng Qiang could be rescued, it would be a huge achievement. At the critical moment, Leng Qiang's orders could be followed.

When Shen Honglie received the order, he felt deeply moved. He had already taken it seriously enough, but it was still not enough!

"Order: notify Qin Qirong to lead 4,000 people to set off at night and arrive at Menglianggu before dawn. Bring all the weapons and ammunition and be ready to support Mengshan at any time."

"Commander, be careful. If this continues, Yishui will be in danger."

"Follow the order. This order is extremely urgent. This is not a decision made by this commander-in-chief. Don't ask questions that you don't need to ask. Do you understand?"

"Yes"!

"Correspondent"!

"arrive"!

"Send a call to Mengshan and tell him that our reinforcements will arrive before dawn tomorrow and that 6,000 troops are waiting for him to deploy. Also add one sentence, Brother Lengqiang, Brother Shen wants to eat meat."

"Yes"!

At the same time, the Lunan Detachment also received an order from the highest level, asking them to assemble their troops and support Mengshan at any time. Even if their troops were wiped out, they had to rescue Leng Qiang and his commando team.

At noon, Yang Qingfeng called Chen Feng, saying that the entire Lunan Detachment had assembled and 1,800 troops had moved to the northern foot of Mount Ni, waiting for the order to fire.

The Japanese army tried to attack several times in the afternoon, but there was no good solution. Hata Shigeichi did not want his team to continue to consume resources. Seeing that there had been no artillery fire from Mengshan, he judged that there was a shortage of artillery shells on Mengshan, so he sent two indirect-fire artillery teams to the halfway point of the mountain and bombarded the Mengshan defense line. Seeing that there was still no response from Mengshan, he was sure that there were no artillery shells on the opposite side, so he sent all the indirect-fire artillery up. Although there was only one-third of the artillery shells left, there were still five or six hundred rounds, and not a single one was left. All of them were fired at the Mengshan defense line. After the attack, the artillerymen were extremely arrogant, carrying the indirect-fire artillery and laughing down the mountain.

When Hata Shige saw the smoke and dust billowing from the explosion on the mountain, he knew that the opportunity was hard-won, so he sent out two more squadrons of troops and began close-range shooting. Before they could climb to the 200-meter line, the light and heavy machine guns opened fire. Chen Feng planned to consume these two squadrons, so he ordered the light and heavy machine guns in the first tunnel and the heavy machine guns on the second and third lines to fire at the same time.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck!

Bullets splashed towards the two squadrons of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers hurriedly lay down, but it was useless as the machine guns continued to harvest them. Five minutes later, the only one hundred or so remaining Japanese soldiers fled in a panic.

Hata Shigeichi put down the telescope, his face ashen. Hundreds of shells were fired but did not cause any damage to the defense line, and two squadrons were lost in vain.

In Hata Shigekazu's tent, several officers above the rank of colonel were discussing countermeasures. Colonel Takahashi spoke first:

"Your Excellency General, from the artillery attack the night before yesterday to the last attack this afternoon, we have lost more than 1800 brave warriors, and there are more than 1200 wounded. I request Your Excellency General to re-designate the tactics. If we continue to fight like this, we will not be able to bear it before we can destroy the Yimeng guerrillas."

"Baga!"

"Hi"!

Hata Shigeichi was not angry because of Colonel Takahashi's straightforwardness. There was nothing wrong with what Takahashi said. He was angry about the difficulty of the Yimeng guerrillas. Without a good method, it would be difficult to take Mengshan even with more troops.

Sato on the side suddenly spoke up. Most of the casualties were his subordinates. The old devil gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

"I have an idea. I wonder if General dares to try it. If successful, we can take Mengshan tomorrow."

"Colonel Sato, please speak quickly."

"Capture hundreds of Chinese civilians and take them up the mountain. If they dare not shoot, we can rush into the trenches and fight with them in a bayonet fight. Once the bayonet fight starts, we can take Mengshan in half an hour. Even if they dare to shoot, our warriors can use the corpses of the Chinese as shields and push forward step by step. We will definitely get something out of it."

"General, my method is rather despicable. Please consider it carefully."

"Despicable? No, no, no. As long as we take down Mengshan and hand over the photos of Leng Qiang and the bodies of his commandos to the base camp, we will all be great contributors to the empire. Any means will not matter. Besides, they are not ordinary people, but an anti-Japanese civil organization. Do you understand?"

"Hey, General, you're wise."

Takahashi Ryo also revealed a bloodthirsty smile:

"Colonel Sato, I admire Takahashi, General, my regiment is good at capturing people! Let us do it, we can raid villages and towns ten miles away overnight and guarantee to capture hundreds of civilians."

Hata Shigeichi knew this subordinate too well, and smiled obscenely:

"Takahashi, you are going to launch a surprise attack overnight, are you thinking about the beautiful girls in China? Don't be anxious, although there is no armed force nearby, but there is a saying in China that goes, "Better safe than sorry." Let's take action tomorrow morning! Capture more women and children, I want to see if you can bring yourself to shoot them."

Chen Feng on the mountain didn't know that the Japanese would be so shameless, but Shen Honglie called and said that 4,000 troops would enter Menglianggu at 2 a.m., and the 6,000 troops of the New Fourth Division would be ready to be deployed by Chen Feng at any time.

We can't wait any longer. Before dark, we saw through the telescope that the frequency of the Japanese going to the toilet has increased a lot, and many temporary toilets have started to have queues. Once the Japanese army discovers the poisoning, they may retreat to Feixian or Pingyi City at all costs, and then the opportunity will be lost.

"Signage soldier".

"arrive"!

"Notify all commanders above the platoon level to hold a meeting in the conference room in twenty minutes."

Send a message to the New Fourth Division and Lunan Detachment, saying that our troops will launch a saturation bombardment on the Japanese military camp at 4 a.m., and ask them to arrive at the outskirts of the Japanese military camp at 4 a.m., and to launch an attack immediately after the bombardment ends at 4:30 a.m. The Lunan Detachment will be responsible for the west, and the New Fourth Division will be responsible for the east and south. Explain the situation of the friendly forces to them and be careful not to cause accidental casualties.

"Yes".

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the big cave between the first and second lines, Chen Feng was arranging combat tasks:

"All mountain artillery and infantry artillery should be ready. The artillery should set up the firing parameters and launch a flank attack on the Japanese army camp at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning."

"All mortar soldiers are ready. At 1500 a.m., they must sneak down the mountain with mortars and shells. They must reach the -meter range of the Japanese army camp within an hour, adjust the coordinates, and wait for the mountain artillery to sound. Then, fire rounds at high speed to strike the enemy camp."

"The rest of the troops should also go down the mountain with light firepower and set up temporary positions at the foot of the mountain to block the Japanese from fleeing up the mountain. The first-line tunnels must continue to be on guard to prevent the Japanese from launching a sneak attack at night. Let's prepare separately!"

"Yes"!
