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

It was just the tenth day after the Chinese New Year, and the whole of China was still frozen. It was still too early for spring, and the Japanese could not wait any longer. The headquarters planned a spring offensive, aiming to take Wuhan in two months, Guangdong in one month, and then Hunan. They were determined to drive the Chongqing government to a corner of the southwest.

In order to increase the offensive power, the headquarters drew four Type A divisions from the country and temporarily formed six Type B divisions. The ten divisions were transported to China as quickly as possible. Two Type A divisions were deployed in Guangdong, two Type A divisions and four Type B divisions were deployed in Wuhan, and the last two Type B divisions were deployed in Shandong.

Yishui was lost again, but this time there was no loss of life, so it was considered an active surrender. Two Type B divisions of the Japanese Army landed in Qingdao. One division took a train north to Jinan, and from Jinan went south to Lincheng, preparing to strengthen the defense of the Jinpu Line. The other division went straight to Yishui from Qingdao.

In order to protect the cement factory, the Yimeng guerrillas had always had a platoon-level unit scattered in the surrounding cities of Yishui, mainly on guard to the east and north. As soon as the Japanese division arrived in Zhucheng, it was noticed by the guard platoon. A telegram was sent to the Yishui cement factory, and the cement factory sealed the vehicles overnight. All that could be transported were taken away, and all that could not be transported were blew up. After everything was done, the team took the last twenty trucks of cement back to Mengshan.

The Japanese division that penetrated diagonally from Qingdao into the Yimeng Mountains was a newly formed Type B division with a three-three system. Although it was a Type B division, it was not comparable to the Type B division like Numata's. The division had three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment under its command.

The Japanese division did not rush to attack Mengshan or Menglianggu. It left behind a regiment of troops in Yishui, and the rest of the troops headed straight for Mengyin. Seeing that Mengyin was an empty city, it left behind another infantry regiment, and the rest of the troops all went to Pingyi. News kept coming in, and Chen Feng ordered martial law on the mountain.

The storm is coming. Judging from the performance of these Japanese devils, they are not in a hurry to attack the heavily defended Mengshan and Menglianggu. They probably want to temporarily encircle them. Using a 33-type B division for the siege is enough to give Mengshan and Menglianggu face.

On the third day after the Japanese division entered the Yimeng Mountains, the National Government sent information about the division.

进驻蒙山的是日军新组建的乙种三三制师团，师团长甘粕重太郎于1939年1月9日上任的，该师团下辖步兵第213联队、步兵第214联队、步兵第215联队及重炮兵第33联队，工兵第33联队、辎重兵第33联队等，总兵力达到了多人。

On February 1939, 2, the 15rd Division of the Japanese Army finally made a move.

The 213th Infantry Regiment in Yishui City left a battalion to garrison, and the rest of the troops arrived at Menglianggu in the morning after a night's march. They began to build positions at the foot of Menglianggu Mountain and set up the positions outside the coverage of mountain artillery.

The 214th Regiment of Mengyin City and the 215th Regiment of Pingyi City also left a battalion to garrison, together with artillery, engineering, and logistics regiments, a total of 150 troops, besieged Mengshan. Like Menglianggu, all positions and barracks were set up outside the coverage of mountain artillery. The Japanese mm howitzer heavy artillery had a long range and could hit Mengshan, but Mengshan could not hit the Japanese artillery positions. The disparity in firepower was evident.

On February 2, a Japanese major and an interpreter went up Mount Mengshan with a white flag and were blindfolded by the guards and taken into the conference room cave.

It is not appropriate for Chen Feng to show up, so he asked the battalion commander Ningbo to go and find out the Japanese's purpose.

In the conference room cave, the Japanese major saluted Ningbo:

"Captain Leng Qiang, our division commander, Shigetaro Gan, has great respect for you and has entrusted me, Heitaro Kimura, to talk to you about surrendering. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to jointly establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt with our Great Japanese Empire, we will forgive the past. As long as Captain Leng Qiang clearly declares your surrender to us, you can choose the commander-in-chief of security of the North China Imperial Army and the commander-in-chief of security of the Central China Imperial Army. We will not split up all your subordinates, who will still be led by you, and they will all be promoted three levels. In addition, we will reward you with one million oceans. Please think twice, Captain Leng Qiang."

After the translation was finished, Ningbo was too lazy to talk to the traitor translator and started speaking Japanese directly:

"I'm sorry, our captain doesn't see any living Japanese."

"What? I'm here to see Captain Lengqiang, who are you?"

"As a Chinese who killed the Japanese, you have no right to see our captain. I repeat, he doesn't see living Japanese. If you want to see him, your division commander is not qualified. Let your so-called emperor come! Maybe he can meet him."

"Baga!"

Snapped!

Kimura Heitaro was slapped by Ningbo:

"Since you came up with a white flag, I won't kill you. If you continue to speak rudely, I can cut off your tongue. Do you want to try it?"

Kimura Heitaro's face turned purple. Seeing Ningbo staring at him gloomily, he decided to be a brave man and endure the pain for the time being.

"Please tell Captain Lengqiang that if your troops do not come down the mountain and surrender after noon today, Mengshan will suffer a fatal blow. Let me tell you that our artillery regiment is equipped with 150 heavy howitzers. I don't believe your trenches can withstand such artillery fire."

"Are you done?"

"Baka..." Kimura Heitaro didn't dare to finish saying Baka. He looked at Ningbo hatefully. It seemed that his mission could not be completed.

"Guard, blindfold him and take him halfway up the mountain. If you dare look back again, you don't need to ask for permission."

Several guards blindfolded the two men and took them down the mountain. Chen Feng walked out from behind the curtain.

"Captain, did you hear everything? I almost broke his neck."

"There's no need. Notify the troops to prepare for artillery defense. Check the gas masks again and cover their skin. Also, don't leave anyone in places that haven't been reinforced with cement. Go hide in the bunker first, just in case."

"Yes"!

"Yunyan, has Brother Shen replied?"

"No, I will report to you as soon as I receive your reply."

Shen Honglie was also persuaded to surrender. It was more formal than here in Mount Meng. A Japanese major formally submitted a letter of persuasion for surrender, but Shen Honglie tore it up in a few seconds, pointing at the nose of the traitor translator and cursing:

"Tell your master, the little Japanese, to get down the mountain within five minutes, otherwise you won't be able to leave."

Seeing Shen Honglie's murderous look, the traitor did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly started to translate with the Japanese major. The Japanese major looked incredulous and wanted to say something, but after being persuaded by the traitor, he finally understood.

The traitor translator quickly asked the soldiers to blindfold him and take him away. Time was running out and he dared not challenge Shen Honglie's bottom line.

Seeing the devils and traitors fleeing in a panic, Shen Honglie laughed. Persuading them to surrender? I have made so many contributions that my name will be recorded in history. I don't even want to go to the Japanese emperor.
