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

At twelve o'clock, two flares rose into the sky, illuminating the position at the foot of Mount Mengshan.

boom! boom! boom!

All, all, all, all!

The infantry artillery and indirect fire artillery opened fire. Each artillery position had a clear division of labor. Some were responsible for cleaning up the enemy's small artillery positions, while others were responsible for bombing the Japanese army's barracks and tents. The first twenty rounds of rapid fire were the most critical, as they could take advantage of the Japanese army's unpreparedness to inflict a large number of casualties.

Most of the Japanese soldiers were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by the sound of artillery shells exploding. The Washizu Division had been in China for more than half a year and had fought many battles, large and small. The soldiers' combat qualities were still worthy of recognition. They reacted immediately, put on their clothes, picked up their guns, and wanted to run away.

The shells came too fast, especially the indirect fire guns, which could fire more than 20 rounds a minute when fully operational. The infantry artillery focused on the Japanese small artillery positions. The 150 indirect fire guns in four directions were aimed at the Japanese barracks. More than 3,000 shells were fired in one minute, all of which fell on the densely packed Japanese barracks and tents. Countless tents were overturned. One shell could almost make dozens of devils in a tent lose their combat effectiveness. The Japanese soldiers whose tents were not hit by shells dressed up and rushed to the tents, only to find a human tragedy. The shells were still exploding, and the soldiers felt there was nowhere to hide. Some rushed into the trenches outside, and some lay down on the spot waiting for the explosion to end.

The MG34 opened fire. One hundred and fifty anti-aircraft machine guns, all with tracer bullets, swept more than one hundred and fifty fire lines from four directions towards the perimeter of the tent. The Type 34 machine gun could not reach the tent, and the MG had no problem at all. The Japanese army could not rush out at all, and their extravagant hope of escaping into the trenches became a fantasy.

Washizu Shouhei rushed out of the tent, his face blank. He didn't rush to organize a counterattack. He found a relatively safe position and stuffed himself in. He listened to the whistling sound in the sky and sighed, what kind of firepower configuration is this! Doesn't the shell cost money? No matter how strong the firepower of Mengshan is, and no matter how much the New Fourth Division benefits from it, it won't hail like this! And the sound of machine guns, why doesn't it sound familiar at all? What the hell is this?

Ever since the flare was launched, Chen Feng and Shen Honglie had been checking from the high ground. Seeing that there was very little firepower in the Japanese trenches, they knew that the troops defending the trenches were insufficient. They felt a little regretful. If they had known this situation earlier, they could have sent special forces members to take the trenches.

"Notify the artillery positions to deal with the firepower of the Japanese trenches. Five minutes later, fire a signal flare and have the infantry and rocket troops charge towards the Japanese trenches and take them within ten minutes."

Half of the mortars in the artillery position changed direction and fired at the fire points in the Japanese trenches. After a few rapid shots, there was no movement in the trenches. A part of the MG34s were also used to suppress the trenches, which were full of light and heavy machine guns. If they could not suppress the enemy and the troops charged, something serious would happen.

Three flares were launched into the air, which was the order for the infantry and rocket troops to attack. The machine guns of the New Fourth Division and the Yimeng Guerrillas adjusted their firing range to leave enough charging paths for the advancing troops. The infantry and rocket troops in the temporary trenches jumped up and began to charge towards the Japanese trenches.

The artillery and machine guns continued to fire, and the Japanese positions were in chaos. Most of the remaining soldiers lay down, holding their heads in their hands, waiting for the shelling to end.

It took the stormtroopers three minutes to reach the barbed wire at a distance of 500 meters. The charging soldiers opened fire at the trenches after entering 100 meters. The flames of countless submachine guns completely suppressed the remaining firepower in the trenches. The rocket soldiers opened fire at the barbed wire, and a group of rockets hit the pillars of the barbed wire, which were blown up from the ground and instantly brought down a section of the barbed wire.

The submachine guns continued to move forward, some fired at the remaining fire in the trenches, some fired at the Japanese soldiers rushing out of the tent area, and some put down their guns to deal with the barbed wire. The firepower was cross-covered, and within a few minutes, the outer trenches of the Japanese army were completely occupied.

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. At this point in the battle, the Washizu Division could be said to be powerless to turn the tide. If they wanted to break out of their trenches, the casualties would make them suffer unbearable pain.

"Order all troops, all Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 99 light machine guns move forward 500 meters and enter the Japanese trenches."

The machine gunners received the order and quickly began to advance. The road had been cleared and the bullets fired from the Japanese military camp were of no use. Four people were carrying the Type 92 heavy machine gun, one was carrying a Type 99 rifle, and another was carrying an ammunition box. In just five minutes, all the light and heavy machine guns had entered the front-line positions. Ten minutes later, the light and heavy machine guns had set up their positions, and the light and heavy machine guns in the Japanese trenches were also turned around and swept towards the tent area together.

The artillery shells have almost been used up and the shelling has stopped. The rest depends on the machine guns and rocket launchers. It is impossible to charge as the remaining Japs are all lying on the ground or using cover to cover their guns. A charge would require a huge price to pay.

Light and heavy machine guns continued to fire, and rocket launchers also began to fire. There were only rocket launchers in the east and south. White lights with flames shot out in two directions, like countless white dragons swimming in the dark night, hitting all the Japanese army's heavy firepower points and obstacles.

boom! boom! boom!

The obstacles were varied, including trucks, horse-drawn carriages, and sacks of supplies. Behind each obstacle there were many Japanese soldiers hiding. They could block bullets but not explosions. The trucks exploded, the horse-drawn carriages were overturned, and the sacks were scattered all over the place.

Washizu Sohei was directing the defense and was stunned when he saw the white dragon. It was over, there was no way to defend it!

"Send a message to General Bin Shanyuan of the North China Expeditionary Army: A mysterious weapon has appeared in the Yimeng guerrillas. Please pay attention to this. Please pay attention to this."

"General, the telegraph machine was blown up and is being debugged."

"Bag! Bag!"

Washizu Shouhei was furious. He failed at the critical moment! The telegraph machine broke down right after he sent the message about the attack.

"Go find it, find it quickly, and make sure to send it out."

"General, I'm sorry. The Chinese artillery paid special attention to our communication tents. All the radio stations were damaged. The one that just sent the message was our backup radio, and now the backup radio is also damaged."

"Baga!"

"Hi"!

Washizu Shouhei didn't bother to slap anyone. The UFOs were still flying around and the team couldn't organize any large-scale defense. Just when Washizu Shouhei was completely desperate, a lieutenant colonel suddenly ran over with his right arm hanging down naturally, as if it had been blown off.

"General, the defense on the west is weak and there is no heavy firepower. Please request to break out from the west."

"idiot!"

Upon hearing about the breakout, Washizu Shouhei felt aggrieved. How could an army of 20,000 people break out after fighting for less than an hour? It was so tragic!

"Order the troops to break out to the west. All the wounded soldiers will stay behind. The soldiers in the front will charge forward, break through the western perimeter, and retreat to Pingyi City. Quickly."
