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

Li Yunyan's communications team would report news to the Fifth War Zone and Chongqing every day, but the two felt that they were part of Mengshan, so they would hand the telegram to Chen Feng for review before each report. Chen Feng was very confident in them, and after being rejected several times, they did not force it. The more this happened, the more cautious Song Zihan would be when drafting, for fear that she would accidentally say something wrong and cause dissatisfaction from Chongqing with the Yimeng guerrillas. After each draft was completed, she forced Li Yunyan to check it. Li Yunyan still knew what she was thinking and did not refuse.

When the top leaders in Chongqing learned that more than 5,000 Japanese troops were wiped out in a few days at Mengshan, they finally felt relieved. Mengshan must not be lost, or the Lone Wolf Commando must not be lost, especially the team leader Leng Qiang. He is now a mirror of China's war of resistance and has given most Chinese people hope of victory.

Those who understand know that with the deployment of the Japanese Army's eight A and B Divisions, Guangdong and Wuhan cannot be defended, and their fall is a matter of time. I hope nothing happens in Mengshan. If something goes wrong, the Chinese people's enthusiasm for anti-Japanese resistance will suffer a serious blow.

After reading the telegram sent back by the Nightingale Squad, the senior management knew that Mengshan was also in some difficulties and was not as smooth as the previous few times. Seeing that the head of the attendant room was still waiting for his call back, he immediately asked:

"What's the situation at Menglianggu? Is there any report on the war situation?"

"Reporting to the Chairman, Shen Honglie of the New Fourth Division has sent a battle report. Through two special operations artillery bombardments, one thousand Japanese troops have been eliminated. Now the Japanese 213th Regiment blocking the mountain has only 213 troops. Shen Honglie also said that he will continue to use special operations to attack the 213th Regiment in the next few days. Once the time comes, he will do his best to destroy the th Regiment and find a way to support Mengshan."

"Very good, you are worthy of being a general who can be friends with the cold gun. It seems that you have already mastered the true skills of the cold gun."

"Send a telegram to Shen Honglie's troops, asking them to encircle and annihilate the remaining forces of the 213th Regiment as soon as possible, and temporarily place them under the command of Leng Qiang to encircle and annihilate the Gan Cane Division together."

Director Mao hesitated for a moment before saying yes. This hesitation attracted the attention of the top management:

"Qingxiang, is there something wrong? Or are you hiding something from me."

Director Mao didn't dare to hide it. Arousing suspicion would be a big trouble, so he had to speak out his thoughts:

"Commander, I just noticed that you issued orders for two encirclement and annihilation operations in succession. This was very rare in the past!"

The senior executives laughed out loud:

"That's because there are no generals like Leng Qiang and Shen Honglie. If all the commanders of the troops have their abilities, let alone annihilating a crippled regiment or division, I would dare to order the troops to encircle and annihilate the four islands of Japan."

"By the way, telegraph the Nightingale Squad, don't worry about whether they can get through there or not at this time. Tell Leng Qiang, isn't the Lunan Detachment active there? Find a way to draw them into the battle and consume their troops. I heard that they have developed more than three to five thousand troops. This is absolutely not allowed. I believe Leng Qiang can make the right choice."

Director Mao did not dare to be careless about the things he had planned:

"Yes, I will arrange for power generation right away."

After receiving the telegram, Shen Honglie immediately ordered all the troop commanders above the rank of battalion commander to assemble. Time is of the essence and the 213th Regiment must be destroyed tonight to live up to the trust of the Chongqing senior officials.

The situation on the Mengshan side became quiet. The 33rd Division lay down. Apart from firing a few rounds of artillery every day, no more troops were sent to attack. Shigetaro Gan knew that with the current 8,000 troops, it would be difficult to take Mengshan even if they were all used up. After all, apart from the artillery engineers and the transport regiment, only more than 2,000 of the 8,000 troops could fight.

At this moment, Gan Cang Shigetaro had the urge to transfer the three battalions from the three counties, but in the end, considering that even with an additional 3,000 troops, it would not be possible to take Mengshan, he had to give up.

The North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters assigned its own division the task of blocking Mount Mengshan and attacking at any opportunity. In addition, the loss of 6,000 troops at Menglianggu made Shigetaro Gan realize that the order of the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters was very comprehensive, and they probably knew that they could not take Mount Mengshan.

Gancao Shigetaro cursed in his heart, they were all foxes for years, but he, a young and inexperienced man, was so excited about the mission that he couldn't sleep. Now that he had a bloody head, he finally understood why the nine division commanders showed complicated expressions when they knew the mission he had received. He naively thought that they were envious and jealous, but now he thought that they were mostly gloating.

Don't attack, just lie down and blockade. I don't believe the food on the mountain can last for a year. Gan Cai Shigetaro summoned several key subordinates to assign tasks:

"All regiments began to arrange their positions and prepare for defense in the direction of Mengshan and Menglianggu. Telegrams were sent to the defenders of Pingyi City, Mengyin City, and Yishui City, ordering them not to leave the city without orders and to defend themselves in order to avoid being defeated one by one."

Seeing that his four or five subordinates were all confused, Ganzhen Shigetaro was in no mood to explain:

"Follow the order! The artillery positions must also be well defended. The eighteen heavy artillery pieces are the lifeblood of our division, and no problems can occur under any circumstances."

"Hi"!

Several corps commanders gradually understood what the division commander meant. If you can't win, just defend. No matter how strong your Mengshan defense is, what can you do if I don't go up? I'm not afraid that you will come down to break through the blockade. Those 150 mm howitzer heavy artillery are no joke.

That night, Shen Honglie took action. The scouts he sent out surveyed an area of ​​213 miles in radius and did not find any new Japanese troops. There was no movement in the three counties of Pingyi either. Shen Honglie decided to eliminate the incomplete th Regiment.

The 213th Division was bombarded twice and was very well prepared. All the soldiers hid in the trenches and slept, so they could control the defense line at any time. Many guard posts were set up to guard against another sneak attack by the New Fourth Division.

The special forces team took action. This time, those who took action were all the chief officers of the unit, who were also the backbone of the elite company brought up by Leng Qiang. They were not as strong as the visible and hidden sentries, and they were all easily taken down.

Sixty indirect fire cannons were brought down, and after the special forces team eliminated the secret sentries, they set up the artillery positions more than 34 meters away from the Japanese positions. Eight MGs were also brought down, and two machine gun positions were set up on the east and north sides.

The commando team consisted of only 38 men, but they were all armed with MP34 submachine guns. The cavalrymen circled around the Japanese positions from the front and back, and as they were afraid of being accidentally injured by MG bullets, they stopped one thousand meters away from the Japanese positions.

Considering that the 33rd Division would come to support at any time after hearing the artillery sound, Shen Honglie had no intention of engaging with the Japanese and ordered the troops to end the battle within half an hour, quickly clean up the battlefield and return to the mountain.

The artillery opened fire, but the Japanese soldiers were still asleep. It was winter, and although they had plenty of quilts, the trenches were not deep enough and were too frozen to dig. They could only huddle together in the trenches, which were more than half a meter deep, to keep each other warm.

All, all, all, all!

Sixty indirect-fire guns, all firing thirty rounds at high speed. Within two minutes, eighteen hundred shells hit the Japanese trenches.
