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

Gan Cang Jutaro was having a sweet dream when he suddenly felt a flash of lightning streaking across the sky. Something was wrong! Where did the lightning come from in the middle of winter? A few seconds later, a dull bang came from the direction of Mengshan. Gan Cang Jutaro was instantly startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He got out of the warm tent and saw a beautiful flame rising into the sky from Mengshan. Did it explode?

No, the time is wrong. If there is an explosion, there will only be a few points. It won't be a flash of fire. It's over. Gan Cai Shigetaro suddenly realized that Leng Qiang must have buried the explosives in advance. Damn Leng Qiang, you have been showing weakness all the time, just waiting for this moment?

After the explosion, only a few of the more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers survived. Broken bodies, logs and stones rolled down the mountain. The logs that the Japanese army had moved up with great difficulty were thrown away by the violent explosion. After landing, they rolled down the hillside like millions of rolling logs and stones. A small number of them were blocked by several trenches, and most of them rolled down the cliff. The trenches that had been dug with great difficulty were almost filled up by the rolling stones.

The five teams in front did not suffer too many casualties. The power of the directional blasting was directed toward the bottom of the mountain. They had already dug more than 30 meters, and their heads were covered with logs. Although they were almost knocked unconscious, they recovered after a while of stabilization.

What happened just now? Where are the solid trenches behind? Why is there only a mess? There were 150 workers in five teams, but now there are only 70 or 80 left. They are all shocked and confused, huddled in the newly dug trenches and trembling. They are only a few dozen meters away! They are only a few dozen meters away from the enemy's position. What should they do now?

There was no point in digging. The explosive packs were all in the trenches on the 200-meter line. They must have been blown up just now! If they hadn't been blown up, they would have flown into the sky.

Retreat, the only thing they had to do was to retreat, but the communication trenches close to the 200-meter line had been blown up, and they would definitely be shot at if they showed their heads. No matter what, they ran while the chaos was going on, running as far as they could. The remaining Japs in the five teams were surprisingly unanimous and turned around and ran towards the potholes that had just been blown up.

Light and heavy machine guns fired, and all the rifles in the first tunnel fired as well. The captain issued a strict order that no Japanese digging soldiers would be allowed to run down. It was not known whether they had touched the big rock. If they had, they would go down the mountain and report it, so that the Japanese would not be fooled again.

After a burst of gunfire, peace returned to Mount Meng. Occasionally, some loose rubble from the explosion could no longer hold its own and rolled down the hillside.

Kansei Shigetaro locked himself in the tent and ordered no one to disturb him. He thought about the explosion just now. The guerrillas were too cunning. They buried the explosives in advance and immediately detonated the explosives when the imperial warriors entered the trench 200 meters away. They were too impatient! If the team had attacked one squadron at a time, the loss would not have been so great.

The method is feasible, and setbacks are normal. If we could have taken Mengshan last night, the cold gun would have been in vain.

"Order"!

Several chiefs of staff and regiment commanders pushed the door open and the division commander finally spoke. They were all frightened just now.

"Order the artillery to begin shelling to prevent the Chinese from coming out and destroying the trenches."

"Colonel Gong Zuo Qiao Yi"?

"Hi"?

"Take your two battalions and advance quickly following the shelling. When you reach the designated position and give a signal, the shelling will stop at the foot of the mountain. I estimate that the damage to the trenches behind is not serious. After you go up, repair them immediately. Don't rush to advance, but advance steadily step by step."

"Hi"!

In the tunnel at Mengshan, Ningbo is asking for instructions over the phone:

"Captain, while the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain are quiet, let the soldiers clean up the battlefield! You don't have to worry about the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, but I noticed that there are still a lot of bullets, and I'm worried that there are some Japanese soldiers pretending to be dead."

Chen Feng shook his head:

"Don't worry, the heavy artillery at the foot of the mountain will help us clean up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistling sound was heard.

boom! boom! boom!

The shells exploded. In order to prevent the guerrillas from destroying the trenches and re-setting the explosives, they hit the connection line between the first tunnel and the open area. Ningbo broke out in a cold sweat instantly. If he had given command and sent a company of soldiers out to clean up the battlefield, the entire army would probably have been wiped out.

Chen Feng did not blame Ningbo. He had lived in poverty for too long and always wanted to patch up his clothes and pick up some weapons and ammunition. It would be difficult to change this mindset in a short period of time. There was no need to rush. After this group of Japanese troops was eliminated, three thousand submachine guns and five million bullets would be almost there. By then, he would let everyone understand what true unlimited firepower was.

"Captain, there is movement below. I can't see clearly, but there should be a lot of Japanese coming up."

"Let's bomb them! We can't let them feel so comfortable. Just fire at a distance of 500 to 700 meters. Use only one mortar in the tunnel. There will be more shells at first and less at the end. Just pretend that you have gradually finished firing. Do you understand?"

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away"!

A minute later, the mortars opened fire.

All, all, all, all!

An explosion was heard at the bottom of the open area. The Japanese soldiers who were transporting logs immediately lay down. Shigetaro Kanko at the foot of the mountain was also worried. This node was very important and he didn't know if there was any good concealment above.

The shelling lasted for more than ten minutes. Just when Gan Shigetaro was worried, the artillery fire became sparse. After another five minutes, it slowly stopped. Gan Shigetaro looked proud, judging that there were not many mortar shells on the mountain, otherwise Leng Qiang would never miss such an opportunity.

The previous round of shelling killed and injured almost one and a half squadrons of Japanese soldiers. As soon as the shelling stopped, the Japanese army started large-scale construction again. The heavy artillery stopped, but they had to stop. The large and small rocks that came down could easily kill their own people who were carrying the goods.

The trench at 500 meters was not seriously damaged. It was just filled with some large and small stones. Of course, there was no shortage of logs and Japanese corpses. The Japanese army spent half an hour to tidy up and were basically able to garrison in. A battalion of troops quickly occupied the repaired trench, and light and heavy machine guns and Type 38 rifles began to guard and defend the mountain.

What Shigetaro Ganqi was worried about did not happen, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time he must suppress his impatience and move forward carefully step by step, and never make any mistakes again.

On Mount Meng, Chen Feng saw that the heavy artillery had stopped, and immediately ordered the soldiers to take turns to eat. The Japanese army was carrying out large-scale construction within five or six hundred meters, so they should not fire during this period of time.

Each kitchen team had already prepared meals and sent them into the cave. When they heard the order, half of the soldiers at each node were on alert while the other half quickly started eating. They all knew that time was tight and the shorter the time, the safer it was. They worked in two shifts to finish a meal that was not sure whether it was breakfast or dinner, in less than ten minutes.

No one dared to be careless. The captain repeatedly emphasized safety issues. Protection against gas bombs is the top priority and no one can be careless.

Li Yunyan and Song Zihan hid in the intelligence room, wearing gas masks and communicating with each other in a muffled voice. It was the first time for Song Zihan to face such a big battle. The previous attack of the Numata Division did not have heavy artillery, so he was not so scared. Now facing the shock of heavy artillery, he was somewhat panicked. Li Yunyan was slowly persuading him that worrying was useless. If the guerrillas could hold on, they would be happy. If the guerrillas could not hold on, then it would be a matter of a grenade.
