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

For three days, the troops' attack had made no progress. Washizu Shouping was a little anxious. He didn't know when Leng Qiang would come back. It seemed that it would be difficult to take Mengshan before he came back. Washizu Shouping chose to besiege the enemy. Although the Japanese were impatient, so many troops were lost at the foot of Mengshan, so they were very cautious.

When Chen Feng was away, Shen Honglie contacted Mengshan several times through the radio and inquired about the idea of ​​joint operations. However, no one dared to make the decision because no one had the courage to command when it came to joint operations between the two parties.

Chen Feng and Liu Kuang have entered Henan. When passing Guangshan County, they visited the place where the Japanese royal family was poisoned to death by their own poison gas bombs. This place has become the rear area. The Japanese army's supplies and ammunition are no longer circulated through here, and there are very few defensive troops.

Considering the current time, the Japanese army does not have many garrisons in other places except for the big cities that they focus on. Often there are only one or two small teams with dozens of troops stationed in a county town. At most, they will bring or develop some puppet troops locally. It is a good time before the end of the Battle of Wuhan. Once the Battle of Wuhan is over and the War of Resistance enters a strategic stalemate, the Japanese army will have plenty of time to clear out the enemy's rear.

What Chen Feng didn't know was that someone was already doing such a thing. The Lunan Detachment was split up, and three to four thousand troops were deployed in company and platoon units, causing a huge stir throughout the entire Lu Province.

With no shortage of supplies or ammunition, the two red tasseled spears were able to develop an anti-Japanese organization, which completely let itself go. With the Yimeng Mountain area as the center, the anti-Japanese forces spread as far as Qingdao, Yantai, Dezhou, Liaocheng, and even infiltrated the Jinpu Line, which was the focus of defense of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army.

On the third day of the Washizu Division's attack on Mengshan, many teams took action. Different from the fighting style of the Yimeng guerrillas, they did not attack the county town or the strongholds, but specifically targeted the railway tracks and mobilized the masses. Overnight, they destroyed 50 miles of railway tracks in the Shandong section of the Jinpu Line. They were not afraid of being discovered, had superior weapons, and were very skilled in encircling and attacking reinforcements.

This sudden action caused great losses to the Japanese army. A troop carrier derailed and a military train exploded. After dawn, the commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, General Ogamo, looked at the bare railway line and cried without tears. What kind of beggars were these? They didn't even let go of the railway tracks?

The news reached Jijin Shouping, and the old devil was a little excited after hearing the news. He couldn't help but shoot! Let the guerrillas harass the Jinpu Line, which must be because their siege has caused them a lot of trouble, either lack of food or lack of ammunition.

After the excitement, Washizu Sohei ordered the troops to continue the attack. There was no need to do anything. Three teams were sent to the open area to fire every hour. Mengshan was completely blocked by the Washizu Division. Even if a sneak attack came back, they could not go up the mountain.

The reason why the guerrillas of the Lunan Detachment attacked the Jinpu Line was because Leng Qiang's actions attracted great attention from northern Shaanxi. They rushed thousands of miles, took down Yan Junliu's head, and severely injured Okamura Ningji. Several big men in the dilapidated cave expressed their admiration one after another, knowing that the Washizu Division took advantage of Leng Qiang's absence to attack Mengshan, and immediately ordered the Lunan Detachment to find ways to support Mengshan.

Political Commissar Yang Qingfeng was in a dilemma. If they really had to fight against the Washizu Division, these teams would not be enough. The team was currently in a rapid development stage and was not suitable for taking the initiative to attack. The two discussed for a whole night and decided to attack the Jinpu Line.

The messengers were running around like crazy. There were only more than 2,000 people in Nishan, and the troops outside were scattered and not assembled. They only notified as many as possible, and there was no need for joint command. With the goal of breaking the Jinpu Line, they agreed to launch an attack at the same time. More than 4,000 troops mobilized more than 20,000 people, and the Jinpu Line returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

Chen Feng had already passed Xuzhou. He felt very heavy-hearted along the way. Life in the occupied areas was very difficult. The Japanese army, puppet troops, and bandits were everywhere, some collecting food, some robbing food, and some harming the people. The people were suffering terribly. Liu Kuang, who was traveling with him, also saw these tragic situations and hated the Japanese even more.

"Captain, how long will it take to reach Mengshan? I can't wait to see our guerrillas fight the Japanese. This journey has been so depressing."

"Brother Hansheng, we can't get there today. Mengshan is probably still under siege by the Japanese army. Let's go to Fei County to rest for a day and get some news first! It's very likely that our way back is blocked."

"What should we do? Is there anyone to help us?"

"Be patient and find out the situation first"!

The two men and their two horses had been through thick and thin along the way, and now they looked weathered. They entered Fei County at sunset.

Since the development of the Lunan Branch, there has been no Japanese army stationed in Fei County. There are not enough troops to fight, and the guerrillas are simply not enough to deal with it. It is really unnecessary to send a large force to guard a small county.

Although it was dusk, the county town was still busy. The Lunan Detachment was not stationed here, and the Yimeng Guerrillas only had an intelligence point here. Fei County had become a typical no-man's land. Despite this, no force had any intention of attacking it. It was too close to Mount Mengshan, so the bandits dared not come, and those ruffians and dark forces did not dare to do evil in this place. Although it was behind enemy lines, this small county town had miraculously become a paradise on earth.

At the end of the most prosperous street in the county town, there is a blacksmith shop. The blacksmith is taciturn and runs the business with a young assistant. He usually makes farm tools and kitchen knives for nearby farmers. He charges very low fees. Even if he is not well off, he can still help repair farm tools. The nearby residents have a good opinion of this master and apprentice pair.

The blacksmith was not good at speaking, but his assistant was very lively. The young boy was very talkative and hardworking. Whenever he had made or repaired farm tools, he would personally deliver them to the person's door. No matter who came to his door or whether the business was successful or not, he would always entertain them warmly. The blacksmith's shop was burning charcoal all day long, so there was no shortage of hot water. Because of the assistant, there were often groups of idle people drinking tea and chatting in the blacksmith shop, which was also the main source of information for the two men.

"Boss, can you play horseshoes?"

The blacksmith hadn't come out yet, and the guy's eyes widened. Why was the captain here?

"Hey man, why are you staring at me? I asked if I could play horseshoes?"

"I can, I can, I can fight."

The waiter looked at Chen Feng and Liu Kuang and asked in a low voice:

"Captain, why are you here? By the way, you just came back from the south, right?"

"Uncle Ma, someone is playing horseshoeing."

The clerk shouted, tied Chen Feng and the other man's horses in the blacksmith's shed, and invited them into the house.

Blacksmith Ma Yousan was also surprised when he saw the captain, but he reacted immediately:

"Tiedouzi, go close the door, fix the door panel, and let's go cook when you're done."

"Okay, Uncle Ma."

After arranging the waiters, Ma Yousan hurried to make tea. The ready-made boiling water and a handful of old tea leaves instantly gave off a strong aroma. After drinking a pot of tea, the fatigue caused by the long journey was slightly relieved.

"Old Ma, stop busying yourself for now. What's the current situation in Mengshan?"
