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

The commander of the 213th Regiment, Mai Cangjun Danggui, had fallen into a deep sleep. In his dream, he led his troops to kill people everywhere. Not only did he capture Menglianggu and make Shen Honglie surrender to him, he also led the team to raid Mengshan and captured the main backbone of Mengshan. Just when he dreamed that he was escorted back to the base camp with a cold gun to receive a reward, he was awakened by a burst of noise.

All, all, all, all!

The sound of sixty mortar shells being fired at the same time was a bit shocking. Just as Mai Cangjun and Danggui were about to shout "Defend against the artillery", a shell penetrated the tent. After the violent explosion, Mai Cangjun and Danggui returned to their dream.

One thousand eight hundred artillery shells hit the Japanese positions, with a special focus on the machine gun positions on the mountain. The Japanese positions were filled with continuous artillery fire and wailing. Many Japs were like ants on a hot pan and headless flies, running and jumping around the positions.

Eight MG34s opened fire, and eight lines of fire completely blocked the Japanese positions. The surviving Japanese machine gunners were shot into sieves by the MG34s as soon as they opened fire. Those who lay in the trenches were fine, but anyone who showed their heads or stood up and ran around was shot through by the powerful firepower of the MG34s.

The commando team charged. Two hundred and fifty nimble soldiers, two hundred and fifty MP38s, stood on the top of the trench and rushed forward. The submachine guns in their hands spewed out fanatical flames. The Japanese were completely confused. What kind of firepower configuration was this? Artillery firepower covered, machine guns absolutely suppressed, and submachine gun bullets were pouring like a bucket. The surviving captain and squadron leader wanted to organize a counterattack, but they were also shot into sieves before they raised their command knives. The MG34 machine gunners controlled very well and attacked the positions in front of the commando team. No matter whether there was resistance from the Japanese, they would first make them unable to raise their heads.

After advancing one-third of the way through the position, the assaulters collectively stopped to change magazines. They were all experienced, and within a few seconds they started firing again. The Japanese army became intimidated, and the remaining troops ignored the rebukes of their superiors and fled westward and southward, hoping to save their lives.

The sound of horse hooves rang out. The cavalry in both directions had been prepared long ago. Seeing the Japanese army fleeing, they began to accelerate their charge. The cavalry's long swords were waving, and at a distance of 500 meters, the war horses increased their speed to the maximum, and the sound was deafening.

The fleeing Japanese soldiers were in despair. There were the sound of submachine guns behind them and a large number of cavalry in front of them. There were many veterans in the regiment, but it was the first time for all of them to enter the Chinese battlefield. They didn't know what to do in the face of such a situation.

They were stunned, but the cavalry was not. They rushed into the ranks of the fleeing soldiers on their horses, waving their long swords. Heads flew up one by one, and streaks of blood spurted out.

These Japanese soldiers had never seen such brutal killings before. They wanted to surrender and knelt on the ground trembling with fear. Unfortunately, the New Fourth Division had learned the essence of the Yimeng Guerrillas and did not have the habit of preparing meals for the prisoners. They continued to swing their long swords and killed even those who surrendered. The few remaining Japanese soldiers wanted to resist, but they had no chance.

It took only twenty-three minutes from the start of the shelling to the time the cavalry regiment killed all the fleeing soldiers. The artillerymen retreated with their guns after they had fired their shells. The machine gunners stopped firing after the cavalry began to charge, and they also retreated with their machine guns. The commandos and the cavalry regiment were cleaning up the battlefield, taking away everything they could. As for the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, they were left to dry in the wilderness in the cold weather!

After forty minutes, the battlefield became eerily quiet. All the troops of the New Fourth Division had withdrawn, and all the spoils were carried away on people's backs and on horses. Only the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were left lying all over the trenches.

The sound of artillery fire from Menglianggu was clearly heard at the foot of Mount Mengshan. Gan Cang Shigetaro jumped out of bed immediately. It was over. The 213th Regiment was finished. Because they had no plans to attack Menglianggu, the 213th Regiment did not bring any artillery with them. Even the indirect fire artillery was left in Yishui City. Now, hearing the sound of artillery fire, it must be that the 213th Regiment was under artillery fire.

"guard"!

"arrive"!

"Order the communications room to contact the 213th Regiment and inquire about the situation over there, quickly."

The guard ran away. Gan Jutaro paced in front of the tent with a heavy heart. After a while, several regiment commanders also gathered around. Seeing that the division commander was in a hurry, they did not dare to ask. They stood on both sides and waited for news. After a while, the guard ran back:

"General, since the sound of artillery fire was heard, the communications room has been using the radio to call the 213th Regiment, but ~".

"But what? Tell me."

"Hi! No response so far".

The guard quickly lowered his head, fearing that he would be slapped in the face.

Shigetaro Gancai had no intention of paying attention to him. Although the destruction of 213 only resulted in the loss of soldiers, Shen Honglie's New Fourth Division was out of trouble.

Trouble! Mai Cangjun, this idiot, was ambushed by artillery again, and his entire army might be wiped out. I have clearly reminded him! Why doesn't he learn his lesson? I wonder if this will put the division's siege of Mengshan in a passive position? Idiot, it's not a pity to die, but it's a pity for the 2,500 imperial warriors defending Menglianggu.

"Order: All troops continue to build defensive positions and must be prepared to defend against artillery fire. The engineering regiment and the logistics regiment are also to be deployed to the defensive positions."

"Order the defenders of Pingyi, Mengyin and Yishui cities to defend themselves tightly and be careful of sneak attacks."

It had not been long since Shigetaro Ganchu had issued such an order, and he issued it again in a strict manner, which showed how much he valued the New Fourth Division.

On the Mengshan side, Chen Feng found the telegram from Chongqing somewhat amusing. It seemed that the top leaders did not want to miss any opportunity to weaken that side!

Chen Feng ordered the communicator in front of Li Yunyan and Song Zihan:

"Send a telegram to the Lunan Detachment, asking if we can conduct a joint operation. If possible, please report the team's strength and firepower configuration."

The communicator sent a telegram to the Lunan Detachment. The Lunan Detachment was no longer what it used to be. Having benefited from the cold guns in the early stage, they had no shortage of bullets. They were also a group of people who could endure hardships. In a short period of time, they formed a team of 6,000. Because of the Yimeng Guerrillas and the New Fourth Division, the Japanese army did not take them seriously at all and gave them space to develop freely.

Yang Qingfeng had been appointed as the commander of the Lunan Detachment two months ago. His calm command and brave style were also somewhat due to his connection with the sniper. An army of 6,000 people was not a small number and had been targeted by Chongqing.

Yang Qingfeng had a headache. Last night, Yan'an sent a telegram that the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was invading Mengshan, and asked the Lunan Detachment to seize the opportunity to take the initiative to attack. The existence of the Yimeng guerrillas was related to the overall situation of the War of Resistance, and they could be saved at all costs when necessary.

The words "at all costs" were very heavy, and Yang Qingfeng was a little breathless. Although he had received many favors from Leng Qiang, Leng Qiang had also paid a lot for the development of the Lunan Detachment to what it is today. Apart from anything else, the weapons and ammunition thrown at the foot of Nishan were enough to arm one and a half regiments. However, the Yimeng guerrillas were too close to the New Fourth Division and had an ambiguous relationship with Chongqing. After the last joint operation, they had not contacted him for a long time. Should he take the team with him? Or should he take the initiative to contact them?
