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

There was no training on the mountain on the first day of the New Year. Even if someone wanted to improve himself, he was not allowed. The captain said that from the first to the third day of the New Year, we could only eat, drink and have fun. There were not many entertainment tools on the mountain. Most of the soldiers went hunting. Although they had been raided yesterday and the prey was very scarce, many soldiers did not care about the prey. They had been confined on the mountain for too long, and it would be good to go out for a walk and relax.

Chongqing called, and the telegram was sent on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The top leaders felt a little guilty about taking credit for the incredible achievement, so they rewarded the Yimeng guerrillas with 500,000 oceans, which was considered a heavy reward in the entire reward circle. Those who understood understood, and those who didn't understand had no right to ask about it. It was promised that the reward would be delivered before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After reading the telegram, Chen Feng immediately ordered Song Zihan to call back, saying that there was no need to send the money. It was very inconvenient to transport it back and forth. If it passed through the occupied area and was intercepted by the Japanese army, it would be a huge loss. The guerrillas would order arms from the German Johannes, and let Johannes directly contact the Chongqing government for verification. Half an hour later, Chongqing called back, fully respecting Captain Lengqiang's approach.

Chen Feng immediately contacted Johannes to continue ordering arms. When Johannes heard that Chen Feng had a reward of 500,000 oceans, he immediately decided to rush from Wuhan to Mengshan to meet and discuss in detail.

In Wuhan, the Japanese army was extremely brutal and did not stop the attack because of the Chinese New Year. The death of Prince Toshihiko of the royal family Higashikuni made the two old devils Yan Junroku and Okamura Yasuji lose their minds. In order to curb the downward trend, they wanted to use the traditional Chinese New Year to achieve a breakthrough.

On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Japanese army launched an all-out attack. The two war zones of the National Army thought that the Japanese army would be unable to advance due to the loss of a large number of aircraft and munitions, and their defense was a little lax, and many positions were raided by the Japanese army. The top leaders were furious and held Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone and Chen Cheng of the Ninth War Zone accountable.

All the officers and soldiers in the two war zones were furious. They felt that the Japanese were too rampant to launch an attack at the beginning of the new year. They could not tolerate it, absolutely not. The two highest commanders immediately ordered the troops to counterattack, and all the heavy firepower was transferred to the front line.

The Japanese army wanted to continue to expand the victory, but found that their heavy firepower was insufficient, there was no aircraft support, and heavy artillery shells began to be scarce. They then began to repent that the Chinese special forces' attack was too cruel, and the two highest commanders also felt that they were overwhelmed by the death of Prince Higashikuni Toshihiko.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the second day of the first lunar month, the National Army launched a full-scale counterattack. The roar of heavy artillery was deafening, and the soldiers' shouts of killing broke through the sky. All the officers and soldiers were outraged. The shameless Japs took advantage of the traditional Chinese New Year to launch a sneak attack. This was intolerable, absolutely intolerable. In addition to hating the shamelessness of the Japanese, the soldiers also felt that the counterattack in broad daylight was quite exciting. Even if there were occasional counterattacks in the past, they had never been so blatant and open. They were all sneak attacks at night or when the weather was not conducive to aircraft takeoff.

The Japanese army took advantage of the National Army's previous fortifications to inflict heavy casualties on the counterattacking troops. The front-line observers immediately contacted the artillery and called for artillery support. The National Army's counterattack troops at the division level concentrated all light and heavy artillery at one point, forcibly suppressed the Japanese machine gun fire, and finally broke through the Japanese line by breaking the surface with a point.

The Japanese army retreated across the board. Since entering China, they had never fought such a battle. It was completely the opposite. In the past, it was their own artillery that bombarded the infantry, but now it was the turn of the opposing Nationalist army's artillery to bombard the infantry. They couldn't stop it, they couldn't stop it at all. They only knew that the Nationalist army would relax during the Chinese New Year, but they didn't understand the status of the Chinese New Year in the hearts of the Chinese people. When it was time to charge, even the most cowardly and fearful soldiers did not hesitate. There were no prisoners, and surrender was not allowed. In order to save bullets, there were always a few bayonets with angry force stuck into the Japs.

From the second to the fourth day of the first lunar month, the National Army completely regained the positions lost on the first day of the New Year and pushed the front line back to the position it was in a month ago.

Although Li Yunyan went to Mengshan, the Fifth War Zone had always maintained contact with the Yimeng guerrillas. A copy of the daily battle situation report would be sent to Mengshan, which was still taken over by Li Yunyan. On the evening of the fourth day of the New Year, the National Army was still attacking and wanted to drive the Japanese army back to the position before the Battle of Wuhan. After detailed deductions and analysis, Chen Feng comprehensively considered the Jinpu Line, the Yangtze River warships, and the transfer of aircraft carriers, and believed that Japanese support would arrive soon. A reminder telegram was sent to the Fifth War Zone.

Li Zongren attached great importance to this matter and spoke with Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, for half an hour. The two agreed that the cold gun attack was very likely, so they asked Chongqing to immediately stop the pursuit and repair the position defense on the spot.

The Japanese army was not happy. If the retreat on the second and third days of the Chinese New Year was real, then the fourth day was just a show. They wanted to pull out the backbone of the Fifth War Zone and destroy it. As a result, the national army was intimidated. Where was the morale? Where was the fearlessness of death?

Yan Junliu and Okamura Neiji were also confused. The main force of China could be harvested at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, but the National Army actually stopped to build positions. Was the news leaked? If such news was leaked, then there would be problems with the headquarters. This was too terrible. The two did not think about the military intelligence of the National Army. With the high-level officials in Chongqing being too ambitious, it was impossible for them to stop facing such temptation.

At 8:30 a.m. on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Japanese bombers moved to Anqing, Nanjing and Bengbu. Chongqing and the two war zones were all shocked after receiving the secret report. If the attack had continued last night, the troops would not have been able to withdraw. The main force would have to face at least six hours of heavy bombing in the open area. The National Government could not afford such losses. If that had happened, there was no need to defend Wuhan and it would have had to retreat across the board.

On Mount Meng, Chen Feng was studying a time bomb with two blasters in a secret cave when a guard's report came from outside:

"Captain, the communications team requests a report."

Chen Feng came out of the cave and saw Li Yunyan looking at him from afar, holding a few telegrams in her hand. When Chen Feng approached, Li Yunyan began to report:

"Confidential message from Chongqing, expressing gratitude for last night's reminder."

"Secret message from the Fifth War Zone, expressing gratitude for last night's reminder. At 8:30 this morning, more than a thousand Japanese planes transferred to Anqing, Nanjing and Bengbu airports, and warships transported a large amount of arms to Jiujiang. In addition, a large number of transport trucks appeared in Guangshan County at 10 o'clock last night."

"The Fifth War Zone forwarded a secret message from Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, expressing gratitude for last night's reminder."

"Reply, the Japanese army will strengthen the defense of key points. The Yimengshan team has no chance for the time being. Please be prepared for a tough battle."

After the Japanese army was attacked last time, if the commander had any brains, he would definitely upgrade the defenses by several levels. If they attack again at this time, they will not have any chance at all and may even fall into an ambush, which is really courting death.

Li Yunyan turned and left. Chen Feng looked solemn. The decisive battle might be coming. The Japanese army would surely launch a crazy attack. The Battle of Wuhan might have a result within two or three months. Johannes had just arrived in Xinxiang. If everything went well, he would be able to arrive tomorrow. They still had to increase their firepower.
