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

Shen Honglie was commended by Chongqing. He cooperated with the Yimeng guerrillas to wipe out a Japanese regiment in one night. Although it was not as good as the annihilation of the Panjing Tiger Brigade and the Hata Detachment, it was already an excellent record in the eyes of the National Government. While the National Government was making a big fuss about it, it also expressed some appreciation for the New Fourth Division and the Yimeng Guerrillas, sending 20,000 yuan to each place, along with gas masks.

Shen Honglie was not very happy. He had been thinking about a problem since he came back last night. It was too easy. The Yimeng guerrillas fought too easily. He thought that the two regiments were going to attack the enemy with cold guns. He did not expect that such a great result was achieved with only a few losses. The spoils were also very valuable. What was the reason? Shen Honglie had been analyzing and thinking seriously.

First of all, the strongholds were eliminated the night before yesterday. I heard that it went very smoothly. More than a dozen large strongholds were blown up without much effort. This should be the credit of the special warfare. Without advanced skills, it would have been impossible to get the explosive packs to the enemy's artillery tower.

Secondly, after occupying the city gate last night, the Japanese troops all retreated to defense. There were only a few defenders at the city gate and they were silently dealt with by the special forces. The focus was not on the defenders at the city gate, but on the Japanese troops' retreat to defense. It was because they were frightened by the special forces, otherwise it would not be so easy to just set up a few street defense lines.

Finally, there was the attack on the Japanese military camp. The shelling lasted less than half an hour. If this had happened in the past, I would not have dared to think about it. And with those sharpshooters, the machine guns that the Japanese were so proud of were completely useless. The final charge and breakthrough by the remaining Japanese soldiers were also mercilessly killed by light and heavy machine guns.

I understand. The destruction of nearly an entire regiment was mostly due to the special operations. The special operations rushed and stole the ammunition, took the lead in taking down the city gate and besieging it, and then as long as the artillery shells were fired, the rest was easy. No, I have to learn special operations myself. Although the Marine Corps is very good, as we saw from the last Japanese raid on Mengyin, they could not hold on at the critical moment. If it weren't for the cold gun that saved them halfway, few of my own two thousand people would have escaped.

Is it appropriate to ask for a cold gun? This is a skill from their hometown. What if they don't want to teach me? Wouldn't it be embarrassing? No, I have to try it when I have the chance. Bring some gifts. There is no shortage of food or weapons over there. What is lacking?

"Signage soldier".

"arrive"!

"Call over the three captains including Shen Zizhong, I have something to discuss with them."

"Yes"!

The signalman was a little surprised that the commander actually said to discuss it. I've never seen such a thing before! Didn't I always tell them to come over here, saying that I have something to arrange? Could it be that he was happy about the victory last night?

The three regiment commanders were processing last night's spoils of war. Although not as good as the spoils from the previous attack on Qufu East Station, the spoils were still quite good due to the advance protection of the Mengshan Special Forces. At least they had never gotten such a large spoils before when they followed Leng Qiang.

When the three heard the message, they rushed to the largest cave in Menglianggu. The commander-in-chief actually poured them tea. The three were a little frightened. This was a big event!

Seeing the three people drinking tea tremblingly, Shen Honglie was angry at the time:

"You bastards, what are you afraid of? Can I eat you? Think about it, what gift can we give that will allow Leng Qiang to teach us special warfare?"

The three were overjoyed when they heard this. They had been envious for months. The commander-in-chief was finally going to speak. Three mouths and six ideas came out. They immediately started to offer suggestions. They were not stupid. They knew that the Yimeng guerrillas had no shortage of food and ammunition. Some suggested starting with cement, and some suggested starting with soldiers. They were all rejected by Shen Honglie. In the end, Shen Zizhong's idea was more reliable:

"Commander, please send some meat! Go to the village, collect a few pigs, slaughter them and send them over. Let them eat first, and then make your demands after they've finished eating. Aren't you grateful to the people who have fed you?"

"This is a good idea, but giving pork as a gift is a bit stingy. Have some self-respect. Take the money and buy cows. Buy ten cows, slaughter them and keep five to improve the lives of our brothers, and deal with the other five. We will go to Mengshan tonight."

"Yes, thank you sir."

"Remember, you have to spend money to buy it. We are behind enemy lines, and reputation is very important. You are not allowed to force the sale. If you can't buy it, you have to pay a high price. The last time I followed Leng Qiang to Qufu, the grain we harvested was enough to eat for half a year. There is no need to save money. Spend it and it must be processed before three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Yes, sir"!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Honglie set off with a guard platoon and two carts of beef. On the way, he was still a little nervous, not knowing whether it was appropriate to ask others for advice on their housekeeping skills. But the cows had been killed, so he had to ask what he should ask. If it didn't work, he would give up. After cleaning the five cows, the meat and bones would weigh about 4,000 kilograms, so he was not afraid of being attacked.

After hearing the report, Chen Feng hurried down the mountain and was shocked to see the two trucks of beef:

"Brother Shen, you've made a fortune"?

"Brother Leng Qiang, to be honest with you, I have followed you in several seizures and we have no shortage of weapons, ammunition and food. I have also received hundreds of thousands of dollars in rewards. I have no ulterior motives, but I am just giving my brothers a treat."

"How can this be possible? There are a lot of soldiers in your place too. Brother Shen, I appreciate your kindness. Take them back. Life here is still okay for me."

"It's arranged. We slaughtered fifteen cows today and I'll give you five. Hurry up and arrange for the transportation! I'm a man who cares about my reputation. I won't be able to face people if I take the cows back."

Chen Feng saw Shen Honglie's firm words and knew that if he didn't stay, it would definitely be awkward:

"Then I would be disrespectful to refuse. Let me first thank Brother Shen on behalf of all my brothers."

"Ningbo".

"arrive"!

"Your battalion will be responsible for transportation. Carry them up the mountain on horseback and distribute them to each battalion, company, platoon, and squad. Distribute them based on the number of people. No department should be left out. Eat beef and gnaw on beef bones at night. Tell everyone that this is the welfare given by Commander Shen to the brothers. Any leftovers should be salted and put deep in the cave to prevent them from causing trouble."

"clear"!

Ningbo looked excited. Normally, the team leader did not allow farmers to buy cattle for fear of delaying their farming. Most meat came from pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. Now, seeing at least several thousand kilograms of beef, he almost drooled.

"Brother Shen, let's go up the mountain first. We'll have a good drink tonight to celebrate the capture of the county last night."

Chen Feng guessed that Shen Honglie might have something to ask for, so it had to be arranged first. Otherwise, with so many people around, Shen Honglie would feel embarrassed to make a request and go back, which would be very impolite.

"Okay, then I won't be polite. I just happen to have something to discuss with you."

"Platoon Leader Wu, guard the car and set up camp at the foot of the mountain. We will go back tomorrow morning."

"Yes"!

On the way up the mountain, Chen Feng deliberately sent away the guards and waited for Shen Honglie to speak. Sure enough, when no one was around, Shen Honglie couldn't help it:

"Brother Leng Qiang, Big Bro didn't rest for even a minute after returning home last night! He thought about it all night and had a deep understanding of last night's battle"!

Chen Feng roughly guessed Shen Honglie's purpose:

"Brother Shen, are you interested in special operations? If so, send a company of officers and elites over so that I can train with the guard battalion."

"Brother, is it that simple? I'm so nervous. It's hard for me to accept your idea of ​​taking advantage of my special skills"!

"Don't worry, brother. As long as they are troops fighting the Japanese, I will not hide anything. Wang Mingzhang's special operations company and the special operations regiment of the Fifth War Zone were all trained by me and my men."

"Brother, you are so generous. I won't say thank you enough. I will arrange for people to come when I go back tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I will ask them to bring enough food, weapons and ammunition. I won't cause you any other trouble."

"Brother Shen, there's no need. There are only a few people in a company, and they don't need any food on the mountain."

"No, that won't work. Let's put things one thing at a time. If I learn your special skills, I'll feel a little uneasy. You have to bring your own food, weapons and ammunition."

"Okay, then let's follow Brother Shen's advice. Let's go upstairs and wait. We'll have beef stewed with potatoes tonight."
