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

Just when Yang Qingfeng was hesitating, the political commissar Li Yong spoke up:

"Captain Yang, are you a little confused about the orders from northern Shaanxi?"

"Old Li, to be honest, I have no objection to saving Leng Qiang and the Yimeng Guerrillas. I would have applied even if no order was given from above. After all, Leng Qiang has contributed a lot to the present of the Lunan Detachment. We must be grateful and repay the kindness we have received. I can't just stand by and do nothing about it."

"Lao Li, you have seen this at all costs, please explain it to me and see if it is the same as what I think."

Li Yong smiled:

"Captain Yang, you are also an old revolutionary and a veteran party member. I don't believe that you really don't understand. You must be a little bit afraid to believe it in your heart, right?"

"Oh! Lao Li, you also know that it is not easy for the team to develop to its current state. How many soldiers have sacrificed? How much price have been paid? Today we finally have a foothold, and I really don't want to start all over again."

"Captain Yang has always loved his soldiers like his own sons, and everyone knows this. No one wants to wipe out the troops for no reason. Captain Yang, let me ask you a question, when we captured Luding Bridge that year, were the troops in the front afraid of being wiped out?"

"How can it be the same? At that time it was a matter of the survival of the revolution."

Yang Qingfeng was a little excited. He was not an ungrateful person, but he now had a heavy burden on his shoulders. One order was related to the survival of 6,000 soldiers, so he had to consider it carefully.

"Captain Yang, which is more important, the survival of the revolution or the survival of the nation? Why do you ask us to do so at all costs at the critical moment? Don't you really understand? Or do you dare not think about it? The Yimeng Guerrillas cannot be lost, the Lone Wolf Commando cannot be lost, and the key is that the cold gun cannot be lost. It is a banner of all anti-Japanese forces. If the banner falls, we may really enter the darkest moment."

Yang Qingfeng sighed:

"Okay, Lao Li, stop talking. I actually understand everything. I'm just trying to convince myself. After all, it concerns the lives of 6,000 soldiers, so I have to be cautious"!

"Hey, Old Yang, it seems like you are finding fun in me to relieve stress! That's too much! I'm still touched by your love for your soldiers like your own sons."

"Report, urgent telegram from Yan'an, cold-shooting telegram from the Yimeng guerrillas."

Yang Qingfeng took the telegram and felt it was a bit heavy in his hand:

"Old Li, I'm here. Which letter do you want to read first?"

"Let's go to Yan'an! I guess there will be a new mission."

The two of them read the secret telegram from Yan'an together. The telegram was very simple, conveying the intention of Chongqing and adding a few sentences at the end.

Chongqing required the Lunan Detachment to obey Leng Qiang's command in all its actions. If they failed to do so, they would be charged with delaying the war of resistance.

The few sentences added by the Yan'an side are very interesting:

The momentum must be great, the casualties must be "heavy", and the attack must be coordinated with cold guns to appear powerful.

The two looked at each other. The information was huge! Chongqing wanted to consume the Lunan Detachment, and Yan'an wanted to use the enemy's strength to defeat the enemy. Aren't you going to consume me? Then I will consume most of it myself and hide. But no matter what, supporting Mengshan cannot be vague. We must dare to fight hard and make a name for ourselves.

The cold gun message is simpler:

Can we conduct joint operations? If so, please report the personnel and firepower configuration.

Looking at Leng Qiang's telegram, Yang Qingfeng was relieved instead. The firepower configuration showed Leng Qiang's attitude. Just like before, Leng Qiang would never consume the Lunan Detachment's manpower for no reason.

"Captain Yang, what's going on?"

"Agree to joint operations and obey commands."

"Also, don't hide anything. The deployment of troops and firepower must be made clear. Leng Qiang never fights a battle without confidence. He will allocate enough rice to the pot. He won't let us go hungry."

"Old Yang, you were worried to death just now, how come you became so excited after receiving a sudden telegram?"

"Hasn't he contacted us for a long time? I thought he had something against us and looked down on us."

"Old Yang, the deputy director personally sent back news that Chongqing sent a communications team to Mengshan. Leng Qiang is not stupid. On the contrary, he is smarter than most people. He is trying to avoid suspicion. Do you understand?"

Chen Feng summarized the strength of the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment, and found that the Lunan Detachment had also developed unknowingly. It had 6,000 troops, both light and heavy machine guns, and some mortars.

In view of the current strength of the two departments, Chen Feng formulated a joint combat plan. The three forces will launch a surprise attack after midnight tomorrow and wipe out the 8,000 Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain in one fell swoop.

After the battle plan was formulated, Chen Feng ordered the messenger to convey it to the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment, and then waited. Before dinner, the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment called back respectively:

"Obey the order and attack!"

On the evening of February 1939, 2, the last day of February, the special forces team went down the mountain. This time it was a special forces team selected by Chen Feng himself. The team of twenty people included battalion-level and company-level troop commanders, including the first battalion commander Ningbo and the second battalion commander Wu Tianxiang. There were also four company-level commanders. These twenty people could be said to be the elite among the elites of the Yimeng guerrillas. Although the Japanese army blockaded Mount Meng, it was not enough for them.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment sent a telegram, saying that all the troops had moved to the designated positions and everything was ready.

At 12:30 in the morning, the special forces took action. Their task was very difficult. If the 18 heavy artillery pieces of the Japanese army were not blown up in advance, it would cause huge losses to the attacking forces. The special forces had only one task, which was to blow up the heavy artillery position.

"Password"?

"Showa! Reply"?

"Brave".

It was very simple. The special forces team infiltrated the heavy artillery battalion. Mentality is very important. The twenty special forces members showed excellent qualities. There was no unnecessary movement and their steps were extremely steady. They did not think about blowing up the artillery. It would be a pity to blow up the artillery that the Japanese army had sent with great difficulty. Each of the twenty special forces members carried a special time bomb, which was hidden in thick clothes and could not be seen at all.

The Japanese army was on high alert, with dense sentries. There were five or six patrol teams alone. Fortunately, they were only on guard at the periphery, and it was pitch black inside. The special forces circled around the eighteen giant cannons, and the time bombs were loaded into the shell boxes and placed at the tip of the shell to ensure that the shell could be detonated after the explosion.

The special forces team was like entering a kitchen, nothing bloody happened, and after leaving the artillery position, the special forces team stripped off the clothes of the Japanese and ran quickly, having to escape from the dangerous area of ​​the explosion as quickly as possible.

"Stop! Command"?

"Tianyou, reply to the order"?

"China".

"Captain Yang, let the soldiers lie down. This place is too close to the heavy artillery position."

"Pass the order, everyone lie down!"

"Pass the order, everyone lie down!"

"...".

Twenty members of the special forces team also lay down. The time was about to come, and they were all looking forward to the explosion. The explosion was an order, and at that time hundreds of artillery pieces would be fired at the same time to give the Japanese army a surprise.

boom! boom! boom!

The time bomb exploded.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The shells also exploded, and more than a dozen mushroom clouds rose into the sky. The flames instantly illuminated everything at the foot of Mount Mengshan. A single shot from a 150mm howitzer shell was enough to destroy a platoon-level unit on the open ground. There were dozens of shells near each heavy artillery, and the effect of the explosion could be imagined.
