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

On January 1939, 1, the traditional festival of Saying Farewell to the Kitchen God was held in northern China. After this day, it was the end of the year. Children were looking forward to the New Year, and the poor were worried about debt collectors. From Saying Farewell to the New Year, all kinds of joys and sorrows would be staged on this day.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a plain text telegram shocked China and the world.

With the approval of the top leaders and after a long period of planning, the National Government's Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone Special Operations Team launched raids on sixteen targets of the Japanese army in the occupied areas early this morning. Before dawn, all sixteen special operations teams completed their predetermined goals without any damage, achieving unprecedented results.

According to incomplete statistics, five Japanese airfields were destroyed, more than a thousand aircraft of various types were blown up, four Japanese oil depots were blown up, and seven Japanese arsenals were blown up, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army.

In addition, during the raid on Guangshan County, the poison gas bombs prepared by the Japanese army were accidentally destroyed. The unscrupulous Japanese were planning to use these 500 poison gas bombs in the Battle of Wuhan, but they were mistakenly blown up by the special forces. The poison gas spread, causing the destruction of the Isa Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in the south of Guangshan County. More importantly, Prince Toshihiko Higashikuni, a member of the Japanese royal family, also died from the poison gas.

There is an old Chinese saying: "Misfortunes sent by Heaven may be pardoned, but those brought upon oneself cannot be pardoned!" The Japanese probably did not expect that their poison gas bombs would one day kill a member of the royal family.

This raid was a great victory achieved by the Supreme Command commanding the Fifth and Ninth War Zones, and will leave a deep mark in the history of China's War of Resistance.

As soon as the message was sent, countless telegraph machines started ringing. Big news! Airports, oil depots, and arsenals. Most importantly, Prince Toshihiko Higashikuni. This man is no ordinary person. He is a member of the Japanese royal family.

Just as the news was spreading like wildfire, the Canadian edition of the newspaper came out in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the shouts of countless newspaper boys echoed through the streets.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers. Our special forces have achieved unprecedented results. They have blown up 16 Japanese airfields, oil depots and arsenals. The Japanese army suffered heavy losses. The Japanese royal family member Dong Jiuer was suffocated to death by his own poison gas bomb."

These newsboys were illiterate. These words were taught by people specially assigned by the newspaper. Ordinary people could not understand them, but the Japanese royal family did understand them.

The Chinese people were once again excited; even the night could not hide their burning hearts. Fireworks and firecrackers prepared for the New Year were set off in advance. Those who were rushing home stopped, and those who were preparing to eat put down their chopsticks. The streets and alleys were crowded with people, joyfully sharing the exciting news.

News was also spread in the occupied areas. Although spreading such news would lead to retaliation from the Japanese army, many people still spread the news fearlessly.

On this special day, the news of victory undoubtedly brought a layer of joy to the land of China.

In Wuhan City, Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, and Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, were hiding in a courtyard drinking tea. They had no choice but to hide in Chen Cheng's private house and wait for things to calm down. Listening to the noisy crowd outside, the two shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Chen Cheng drank a sip of tea and did not forget to tease Li Zongren:

"Brother Delin, you have done something earth-shattering this time. With such results, you should first think about the reward you want!"

"Brother Cixiu, why don't you say that it was your achievement! Your organization is clearly stated in the plain text message."

"Oh, what an undeserved achievement! If only it were really ours."

"Brother Cixiu, how about the special forces? Do we need to develop it vigorously?"

"Brother, stop making fun of me. Everyone knows that I am not very interested in that. Now it seems that I am too superficial! Killing this Japanese royal family is more exciting than destroying several Japanese divisions. Brother Delin, I still don't understand how this cold gun, such a huge contribution, can be given away just like that?"

"Him? Maybe he looks down on me, or maybe he doesn't want to be the focus of public criticism! I admire him very much. If I put myself in his shoes, I would be reluctant to give up such credit, even if the person who asked for it was a senior executive."

"Who is willing to do so? Am I willing to do so? This is a contribution that will go down in history. Hundreds of years later, when a teacher explains history, he will point to Lao Tzu in the textbook and say that it was this Chen Cheng who commanded the elimination of the Japanese royal family. What a pity! We can only think about it."

Unlike the celebration in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the Japanese Army's North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters and Central China Expeditionary Army Headquarters were filled with sorrow, with many people crying and observing silence. Japanese soldiers had a heartfelt respect for the royal family, and now the emperor's only relative had died, and ridiculously, he had died from the poison gas bomb he had researched. All the Japanese troops felt sad and helpless.

If they were really killed by the National Army, we could use the opportunity to create an atmosphere of solidarity against a common enemy. But it’s embarrassing to think about it now, let alone boost morale.

Yan Junroku and Okamura Ningji in Anqing City, and Bin Shanyuan in Beiping City are waiting for the reply of the royal verdict. It doesn’t matter whether the headquarters will pursue the case or not, it all depends on the attitude of the Emperor.

The higher the level, the more panicked they were. The airport was bombed, the plane was lost, the oil depot and the arsenal were not a big deal, but a royal family member died, and he was killed by a poison gas bomb. The most important thing was that the news was leaked. Although they found out how the news was leaked and identified the suspect, he had already run away. Now they can only swallow their anger.

When Shen Honglie heard the news, he rushed to Mengshan as fast as he could. He didn't believe that the Kuomintang special forces had such great capabilities. He also had a special forces team, and he knew best how they would perform.

It must be Leng Qiang, and it is very likely related to the strange things he bought. Shen Honglie has been curious ever since he placed the order with the German. But since Leng Qiang didn't say anything, he couldn't force him to ask. However, he must ask clearly this time. They are brothers now, and he must not miss out on any benefits.

When they arrived at Mount Meng, Shen Honglie asked the guard company to set up a tent for him without waiting for Leng Qiang to come down the mountain to greet him. He urged the soldiers on duty to take him up Mount Meng.

Seeing Chen Feng coming to greet him from afar, Shen Honglie immediately started shouting:

"Brother, is it you? Is it you?"

Seeing Chen Feng nod, Shen Honglie knew that it should be a confidential operation and did not say anything more:

"Brother, prepare some wine and food, we have to celebrate tonight."

"Everything is ready, just waiting for you."

"You knew I was coming?"

"I don't know, I prepared it for them. What a coincidence that my brother happened to arrive in time."

After entering the cave, a group of girls stood up and greeted Shen Honglie with a smile. Shen Honglie then realized that they were also preparing to celebrate! They were all acquaintances, so there was no need to be polite. They sat down carelessly, picked up the wine bowl and prepared to drink.

"By the way, my guard company is at the foot of the mountain. They came here without eating. Please arrange someone to entertain them."

"Don't worry about this, there are special people in charge."

"Brother, there are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth, is it you who did it?"

Seeing Chen Feng nod, Shen Honglie immediately became alert:

"Come on, big brother is taking the lead, let me give you the first glass of wine, congratulations on your tremendous contribution"!
