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

While the Japanese were searching around a hilltop, Chen Feng had already tied the remaining rope to a large rock on another cliff. He could not take the usual route, otherwise he would definitely not escape the Japanese pursuit. He continued to slide down, and his feet were testing the end of the rope. Suddenly, his feet lost the feeling of the rope. He exerted force with his hands and braked. It was still pitch black below. He could not increase his speed while rock climbing and rappelling. It took Chen Feng four or five minutes to finally land on solid ground for the remaining fifty or sixty meters of the cliff.

He took out the beef bun in his arms and replenished his strength while retreating. He couldn't go to the north because the north was the direction of the mountain, nor could he go to the east because the area near Poyang Lake was too flat. Chen Feng chose to retreat to the southwest, where there were mountains surrounding him, and he could quickly get rid of any pursuers whether there were any.

The Japs on the mountain went crazy. There was no trace except for two explosion points. At the first explosion point there was a broken rifle, and not far above the explosion point there was a sniper who was nailed to death and had his neck twisted.

After searching for half an hour, there was no trace of the assassin. The Japanese suddenly realized that there must be something wrong with the second explosion point. They hurriedly climbed to the top of the mountain. The explosion point was the root of a big tree. The bark had exploded. A Japanese colonel suddenly shouted:

"Search downwards, the assassin must have climbed down from here."

"The gendarmes looked at each other in bewilderment. Who would dare to do this?"

"Baga!"

The Japanese colonel also felt it was inappropriate.

"Go down in circle, quickly, search for traces, we must catch the assassin."

Inside the building, all the Japs were as if their father had died. General Yan Junroku was shot in the head, General Okamura Yasuji was shot in the chest and was receiving emergency treatment. His life or death was uncertain. The brigade commander, major general in charge of the headquarters' defense, did not have time to perform a caesarean section and was killed by a bullet. The two regiment commanders led the team to search, and the chief of staff was still in Anqing. The group of people were at a loss and didn't know who to report to or who to ask for tactical guidance.

After eating a pound of beef and drinking a bellyful of spring water from a stream as he passed by, Chen Feng felt full of strength again. It was not the time to relax yet, as he had to get out of Lushan as quickly as possible.

The two Japanese colonels came back and shook their heads at each other. Why should they have hope? The two highest commanders in the Battle of Wuhan, one died and the other was seriously injured, and the assassin had not been caught. The two colonels looked dejected. They had two choices, seppuku and going to a military court. Both would result in death.

Another hour passed, and the door of the temporary emergency room was finally opened, and several doctors walked out tiredly.

"How is it, General, is he awake?"

The doctor shook his head.

"The bullet has been taken out, but the lung is punctured and he has lost too much blood. He is still in danger."

All the Japanese soldiers were terrified. Most of them understood the meaning of a punctured lung. It was a very dangerous situation.

"Report! The autopsy report of the sniper who died unexpectedly is out. In addition to a broken neck, there were three other murder weapons on his body, two at the back of the head and one on the arm."

A military doctor in a white coat came over with a plate with three bloody nails on it.

A group of people were somewhat puzzled, wondering how such a nail could be driven into the human body?

A lieutenant from the Special High Section stood up and said carefully:

"I know someone who has used this kind of nail. He is a great enemy of the empire, a Lone Wolf Commando, a sneak shooter. This sniper attack was most likely done by him."

The two squadron leaders looked at each other with hope in their eyes. If they caught the cold gun, their lives would be saved.

"Orders, send a message to all nearby troops, block all exits within a radius of 50 miles, set up checkpoints for inspection, and immediately arrest any suspicious persons. Patrol boats will enter Poyang Lake and search every inch. The entire city of Jiujiang is under martial law, and not a single suspect can be allowed in. Send a message to the headquarters, General Yan Junroku died in battle, and General Okamura Yasuji was seriously injured and dying. It is suspected that he was shot in the back. The troops are currently arresting them. Request for tactical guidance."

After giving the order, the colonel said to another colonel on the side:

"Mr. Liangtian, I leave this to you. I will lead the search team. This is our last chance."

"Mr. Kuroshui, please."

The radio station of the headquarters finally started to work, and everyone felt more confident. After more than 20 minutes, the Japanese troops within a radius of 50 miles centered on Lushan Mountain all took action. Everything was in chaos. The National Army signalmen who were monitoring the radio station felt that everything was in chaos at the first moment, and the Japanese army must have made a big move.

The Battle of Wuhan had reached a critical moment. No one dared to stop such news, and it was reported to Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone, Chen Cheng of the Ninth War Zone and the top leaders in Chongqing within ten minutes.

The commanders of the various war zones did not dare to delay, thinking that the Japanese army was preparing for another major move, and the order was quickly issued:

"Notify the frontline troops to go to the battlefield in batches and make anti-virus preparations."

"Notify the two statistical bureaus and contact the undercover personnel immediately. We must find out what happened to the Japanese."

"I sent a telegram to Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone and Chen Cheng of the Ninth War Zone, asking them to make sure they were well defended. Every inch of land is worth a drop of blood. The moment of crisis has come. How long the Battle of Wuhan can last depends on them."

When the Japanese brigade commander decided to launch a full-scale capture campaign, Chen Feng had already left the Lushan Mountains and galloped southwest to Mahuiling. When passing by a roadside inn, he saw horses tied in a shed. He did not bother to find someone to buy them, but quietly led out two horses, took out a large yellow croaker and placed it in a conspicuous place, and rode his horses all the way south. After two hours of desperate escape, the two horses were exhausted, and it was almost dawn, so he could not take the main road. He came across a small village, and Chen Feng tied the horses in a woods behind the village, turned around and went into the woods, and continued to flee for his life.

Shortly after Chen Feng left the highway, a Japanese convoy appeared. This was the defense force of Jiujiang Airport. There were three roads around it, and three convoys were rushing towards a checkpoint fifty miles away.

As for the Japanese army, the headquarters received the telegram. Their first reaction was that someone had deciphered the secret message and played a prank. They communicated with Jiujiang twice and asked about the incident in detail. Only then did they believe the situation. All the senior officials gathered together. After being shocked, they issued orders one by one:

"The Chief of Staff of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army in Anqing City, Masamitsu Kawabe, temporarily took over all command rights, was responsible for the final battle of the Battle of Wuhan, and stepped up the search for cold guns."

The news was passed down layer by layer. The first to react was not the Central China Expeditionary Force, but Bin Shanyuan who was far away in Peking. The cold gun no longer hesitated to attack Mengshan? An assassination was carried out in Jiujiang? Then the direction of Mengshan? Here comes the opportunity! Bin Shanyuan was frantic. He wanted to destroy his lair and let him go out to show off.

Now responsible for the defense of the Jinpu Line are the understaffed 21st Division of Washizu Shouping and the newly appointed 34th Type-B Division of the Japanese Army. Bin Shanyuan decided to give the opportunity to Washizu Shouping. A telegram was sent to Xuzhou. Washizu Shouping became excited. All his shame was caused by cold guns and the Lone Wolf Commando. Now he was asked to attack Mengshan. What a great decision!
