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

The entire ten-kilometer radius of Mengshan was under martial law, residents moved out, and the surrounding area became a training ground for the Yimeng guerrillas.

Residents who lived farther away had no complaints, knowing that Mount Meng was full of elite troops that could kill the Japanese. Although they had less income from chopping wood and collecting herbs, the Mengshan guerrillas could make a small profit just by purchasing vegetables and meat from nearby residents.

Every household planted a large amount of vegetables. A handful of Chinese cabbage seeds would grow into a field. The Yimeng guerrillas came to buy them at the highest market price. All the chickens, ducks and other livestock raised at home were left to the guerrillas. They were reluctant to eat the chicken and duck eggs because they were all money. The children in the nearby villages complained.

Dozens of spies were sent out, and no matter whether the Japanese came out from the two counties or attacked from other places, they could not escape the spies' control.

"The wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, get ready to sing"!

"When the wolf smoke rises, the country looks north..."

While the guard battalion was practicing long-distance raids, the war song soared into the sky. Although many people were tone-deaf, the momentum was unstoppable. Lin Chuan liked this song very much, and when he learned that it was written by Chen Feng, he was even more impressed.

The platoon brought by Lin Chuan are all elite tax police. Although they have not had much contact with special warfare, the quality of the soldiers and their combat capabilities are excellent. With the addition of this platoon, the guard battalion, which has been gradually promoted from a platoon of recruits, has made great progress. Chen Feng feels that it will only take half a month for everything in the guard battalion to be on track.

Ji Xiuming was one of the first recruits to join the Yimeng Guerrillas. He received 80 oceans as a resettlement allowance. At that time, he was joined by a young doctor. Because he was good at shooting and knew some kung fu, he made rapid progress and had excellent combat records. Now he is a squad leader of the first company of the second battalion.

Ji Xiuming is very satisfied with his current life. In the Yimeng Guerrillas, nothing else is considered except ability. If you have ability, you will be promoted, and if you don't, you will be demoted. He receives a monthly salary of two dollars, and meals are provided. Not only do they have white flour and rice, but they also have vegetables and meat all the time. For Ji Xiuming, who can hardly have a full meal in a year at home, this is simply a fairy life.

The atmosphere on the mountain was very good. There were no superiors who bullied others and no intrigue. As long as there was no mission, he would train after eating and rest after dark. Like all soldiers, Ji Xiuming trained very hard.

Ji Xiuming actually wanted to bring a squad of soldiers home to show off his power, but the captain strictly prohibited this. Ji Xiuming knew in his heart that this was to protect the soldiers' families, but he just felt it was a pity.

Today is the time for the Second Battalion to purchase meat. Early in the morning, Ji Xiuming led his squad down the mountain. There were ten people and ten horses. The Second Battalion was not yet fully staffed, with just over 200 people now. The training volume was very large, and dozens of kilograms of meat had to be consumed every day. Each time, they purchased ten days' worth of meat, and after returning it was salted and spiced, it could barely be stored for ten days.

There is no need to consider the nearby villages. If you want to buy meat, you have to run at least thirty miles away. This time, Ji Xiuming is going to Huangtai Village in Wutai Township. He had already agreed to buy meat when he passed by before. I believe the village is already prepared!

Before reaching Huangtai Village, Ji Xiuming saw a truck parked at the entrance of the village. He shuddered in his heart, Japanese?

"Dismount, Zhu Yihu take care of the horses, and the rest of you follow me forward."

With the cover of the house, the nine people quickly broke through to the truck's location. A Japanese soldier was squatting in the shade of a tree beside the truck smoking. Ji Xiuming made a gesture, leaving two people behind, one to cover the other and the other to go up and deal with the Japanese soldier. He took six team members and quickly sneaked into the village.

There was no shelter in broad daylight, and several people quickly searched for the location of the Japanese in the village.

At Old Man Zhuang’s house, four Japanese soldiers and two puppet soldiers were attacking the old man’s two pigs. Old Man Zhuang was also pushed to the ground, and his wife was also pulled aside by the puppet soldiers:

"Old woman, if you don't behave yourself, don't blame us for being rude. The Imperial Army will eat you two pigs as a courtesy to you. If you dare to stop us again, we will shoot you."

The old man lay on the ground, no longer having the strength to get up:

"Don't rush! Don't rush! This is prepared for others."

Another puppet soldier also angrily scolded the old man:

"Who is it prepared for? Is it prepared for the rebels on Mount Mengshan? Do you know that you will be beheaded if you deal with them?"

The old man was terrified. If the Japanese knew that the pigs he killed were for the Yimeng guerrillas, they might really kill him and his wife, and then burn down their house. However, the two pigs were the old man's entire income for the year, and he still owed money for the piglets. Watching the Japanese clean out the pigs' internal organs and carry them away was a life-threatening thing!

The Japanese requisitioned the old man's cart, tied two slaughtered fat pigs on both sides of the cart, and were about to shout at the puppet soldiers to come over and push the cart.

boom! boom! boom!

Gunshots rang out, and the four devils were caught off guard and were shot dead immediately. The two puppet soldiers were about to take out their guns, but when they saw the four devils were dead, they immediately gave up resistance and knelt down:

"Please spare my life, sir! Please spare my life, sir!"

Ji Xiuming and several soldiers quickly took control of the battlefield and helped Old Man Zhuang up:

"Uncle, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just fell. Luckily you came in time, otherwise the pork would have been snatched away by the Japanese."

"Uncle, how do they know that your family is a butcher?"

Old Man Zhuang looked at the two puppet soldiers with some hesitation. His wife came to Ji Xiuming to complain, pointing at the puppet soldiers kneeling on the ground and scolding them:

"Officials, these two are all young men from Wutai. They went to Mengshan to join the guerrillas but were tricked out. They were lazy and didn't want to work, so they worked as dogs for the Japanese in the Wutai Township stronghold. Every day they wear dog skins and wander around the nearby villages. Early this morning we asked people to catch and kill pigs, but they have been targeting us for a long time, and we have also attracted the Japanese. Officials, you have to help us!"

Ji Xiuming listened without any hesitation:

"Shot dead!"

"Yes"!

The two puppet soldiers were so frightened that they were shot in the head before they could even say a word of begging for mercy.

"Uncle, we have carried away the bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers. If anyone asks, just say you don't know. Also, say hello to the neighbors around you. How many kilograms of pork are there in total?"

"Hey! Young men, you just give it to us! If you hadn't arrived in time and the money had been snatched away by the Japanese, we wouldn't have gotten a penny."

Ji Xiuming glanced at the two slaughtered fat pigs tied to the car. They were the pigs that Old Man Zhuang had raised for more than a year. It was estimated that there would still be 300 kilograms of meat left after slaughtering them. Now that prices have risen, it is no longer the time when Chen Feng sold five kilograms of pork for one dollar. One dollar can only buy four and a half kilograms of pork.

"Uncle, let's put it this way! I think both heads should be no less than 300 kilograms, so let's calculate it as 350 kilograms! Including bones and meat, it's one dollar and four and a half kilograms. Xiao Wang, calculate how much it is."

"Sergeant, one hundred and sixty-seven dollars."

"Count to one hundred and seven. Sir, do you think one hundred and seven is ok?"

"It's too much, too much. Even if we sell it ourselves, we can't get more than 150 yuan."

"It's okay, uncle. The rest is just to calm you down."

"Xiao Wang, after you give us the money, ride back to the mountain immediately and report the situation here to the battalion commander. The Japanese may come to the village to take revenge. We will not go back until we deal with the bodies. Let's wait until dark."

"Yes"!

Xiao Wang rode back to the mountain and reported the matter to the battalion commander of the second battalion, Wang Hanqiang. Wang Hanqiang did not dare to neglect it and immediately found Chen Feng to ask for instructions on how to deal with it. If the village was really massacred by the Japanese, it would be a serious crime.

"Captain Wang, immediately send a company to defend Huangtai Village. We will destroy the Japanese if they arrive there. If they don't go, we will eliminate their strongholds at night. Inform the other three battalion commanders and hold a meeting in half an hour. We can't leave the Japanese alone. The troops have been trained almost completely, so let's start with the Japanese in the two counties!"

"Yes"!
