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

At daybreak, the Japanese army had been busy for half the night and had rebuilt the trenches. Chen Feng was not in a hurry to destroy them. There were plenty of shells in the cave. Even if only mortars were used, most of the trenches could be broken. However, it was a good thing that the Japanese came up. At least the heavy artillery would not be so unscrupulous. As long as the positions above were full of Japanese, the opposite side would not attack with poison gas bombs.

As the night fell, everything on the mountainside came into view. It was so disgusting. I didn't know whether I could eat breakfast or not. At least I couldn't eat meat. The open ground was full of scattered corpses. They were tattered and barely recognizable as human. It was impossible to see them farther away. The big trees on the mountainside were full of human tissues. After a night of freezing, they didn't turn black. They were fresh and tender. It looked like a pork shop, but the scale was too large. A few big birds were pecking at the trees. They looked like tigers, but the human tissues were frozen cold and couldn't be pecked! The big birds flew away, mumbling curses.

Many team members took off their gas masks and started vomiting. They had seen many Japanese corpses, but they had never seen such a slaughterhouse-like scene. The captain was too perverted! He didn't consider whether others could bear it or not.

Chen Feng felt a little embarrassed and helpless facing the strange looks from the soldiers next to him. There were hundreds of explosive packs, and unlike the last time when he bombed the Numata Division, this time the distance between the explosive packs and the Japanese was too short, and they were detonated in the trenches. There were also a lot of rubble, and many Japanese were blown to pieces when they flew up.

This is only in the winter. If it were summer, it would only take two days for the corpse fragments to rot into poison gas bombs.

The guerrillas on the Mengshan side were shocked by the minced meat in front of them, the Japs in the trenches were building in full swing, but the Japanese troops below Menglianggu were feeling a little uncomfortable. Although the positions were out of the range of the artillery on the mountain, the artillery could be moved!

Taking advantage of the night, several teams with the rudiments of special warfare came down the mountain with mortars, and began to build artillery positions 500 meters away from the Japanese positions. After adjusting the targets, they fired a burst of artillery shells, and hundreds of shells hit the Japanese positions within a minute.

The Japanese army had never expected this tactic. Many soldiers huddled in trenches and tents and fell asleep. The bombardment caused more than 400 casualties among the Japanese army. The regiment commander got hot-headed and ordered a pursuit. "If I don't go up to fight you, how dare you come down the mountain? Do you really think that the warriors of our great Japanese Empire are easy to mess with?"

The several surprise attacking troops of the New Fourth Division were not running very fast. When they saw that they were about to be caught up at the foot of the mountain, the commander of the regiment behind them suddenly changed his face:

"Retreat, retreat quickly"!

Before the captain next to him could figure out what was going on, the mountain artillery and infantry guns on the mountain started firing.

boom! boom! boom!

More than ten mountain cannons and more than twenty infantry cannons fired at the same time. The shooting scales were set in advance, and the shells rained down on the Japanese troops chasing at the foot of the mountain.

All the Japanese soldiers lay down. Facing such intensive bombardment in such an open area, they would die faster if they did not lie down. The torrential bombardment lasted for twenty minutes. When there was a pause, the surviving soldiers fled back desperately. Some wounded soldiers struggled to ask their fleeing comrades to take them with them, but no one paid any attention to them.

This group of Japanese soldiers were entering the Chinese battlefield for the first time. They had only heard of themselves firing artillery and the nationalist army fleeing before, but they had never imagined such a scene. Many of them were scared to wet their pants by the violent explosions. Although most of them had been brainwashed and were not afraid of death, they could not control themselves!

Nearly a battalion of troops went to pursue the enemy, but only 400 people were brought back, many of whom were slightly injured. The commander of the regiment ordered the soldiers to rescue the seriously injured under the cover of night. Unexpectedly, the mortar artillery that had just attacked started to attack the reinforcements, and the shells were fired randomly. The Japanese rescue team left dozens of bodies and fled. Whoever wants to rescue them can do so, and if not, just consider them dead! The shells are too scary.

The commander of the 213th Regiment, Mai Cangjun Danggui, was a little panicked. His own regiment had only soldiers, and Yishui had left a battalion with soldiers. Now, after two artillery bombardments, of the people were gone. How could he explain this to the division commander?

Just when Mai Cangjun and Danggui were racking their brains, the special forces that attacked returned to the mountain. Before they could report, Shen Honglie's loud voice rang out:

"Good, you fought well. I saw it all. We will fight like this again tonight. The arrogant Japs dare to block the mountain without even any artillery. They really don't take me, Shen Honglie, and the New Fourth Division seriously! We will fight for another night and carry the German heavy machine guns down the mountain tomorrow night. We have spent so much money. I want to try some foreign food and try out the firepower of the Japanese."

When Gan Cang Shigetaro heard the news about Menglianggu, he was so angry that he cursed. If Mai Cangjun Danggui was in front of him, he would have slapped him dozens of times. He had repeatedly warned them not to enter the artillery's firing range, but this idiot just went up in a fit of anger.

After his rage, Ganzhen Shigetaro felt more helpless. There was no other way. Even if he wanted to remove this idiot, he had to wait until Mengshan was taken over. Now was the critical moment to break through Mengshan, and no force could be allowed to interfere.

"Send a telegram to Captain Maicang, asking him to defend the position and not let any soldiers from the New Fourth Division come over. If he fails to do so, have him perform a caesarean section!"

"Hi"!

The signalman went to send a message, and Kan'e Shigetaro continued to observe the situation on the mountain with a telescope. After a night of steady progress, they had advanced to a 300-meter trench, but the 300-meter trench was too close to the explosion point and had suffered serious damage. The soldiers on the mountain were working hard to repair it, and the soldiers on the 400-meter line were also ready. Once the guerrilla soldiers attacked, they would be shot to death with ruthless bullets.

Mai Cangjun Danggui was relieved after receiving the reply. Fortunately, the division commander did not punish him. However, he could not make any more mistakes, otherwise both old and new accounts would be settled together and he would definitely not escape the fate of disembowelment. Mai Cangjun Danggui immediately ordered the remaining 1,500 troops to rebuild the trenches and add anti-artillery holes.

The fifteen hundred soldiers heard the order without any hesitation. Last night's shelling was too terrible. They had to dig holes, the deeper the better.

Mai Cangjun and Danggui looked at the busy soldiers, feeling comforted but also a little worried. It was said that there were thousands of soldiers on Menglianggu. If they really pulled down the artillery and rushed westward to rescue, he would not be able to stop them. He hoped that they would not do this! Mai Cangjun and Danggui could only pray secretly.

"Captain, the New Fourth Division called and said that after two rounds of artillery fire last night, they killed at least one thousand Japanese soldiers. They are going to continue tonight. If there is a chance, they will destroy the remaining Japanese troops and come to support us. Captain, please make arrangements in advance."

"Call Brother Shen back. It's not the right time yet. We can slowly deplete the Japanese troops, but we must control the losses. Tell him that Mengshan is safe and he doesn't need to worry about this side. Also remind him that there are three battalions of Japanese troops in Yishui City, Mengyin City, and Pingyi City. We must be prepared when a sneak attack occurs and don't get surrounded."

"Yes"!
