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

On May 5, Chen Feng led the Second Battalion to the Shijiu beach to pick up the ordered machine tools and arms. Johannes did not go with the ship. He got off the ship in Guangdong to deal with the arms ordered by the National Government. The situation there was in chaos. The National Government had fewer and fewer outlets to the sea, the Japanese army controlled more and more sea areas, and the inspection of international merchant ships was becoming more and more stringent. Johannes had to argue with the Japanese, which would be a lot of lawsuits.

On May 1939, 5, it was the Grain Full solar term. The entire Mengshan Mountain was covered in green, and the temperature was just right. The new recruit regiment had been formed, and the 22 recruits had found their respective positions. The artillery, machine gunners, and demolition soldiers were divided very meticulously. Just as Chen Feng was preparing for a long-distance raid and training for the new recruits, news came from the National Government and the Fifth War Zone that the National Army would take the initiative to retreat within three days. Although they could still hold out for some time, the National Government could not withstand the loss and had to give up Wuhan and trade space for time.

Chen Feng clearly remembered that the Battle of Wuhan in the previous life ended on October 1938, 10, and now it has been delayed to the end of May 27, almost seven months.

The Japanese army was also very tired. Perhaps it was because Chen Feng sniped Yan Junliu, perhaps it was because of Chen Feng's death threat to the Japanese emperor, or perhaps it was because the world's attention was too much. Since Chen Feng returned from Lushan, they did not choose to continue using poison gas bombs. Instead, they used their firepower advantage to advance step by step. It was already very dangerous for the Nationalist government to persist. If the roots of the Ninth War Zone and the Fifth War Zone were cut off, then the backbone of the Nationalist government would also be broken.

This news could tell Chen Feng that the National Government and the Fifth War Zone had done their utmost. Both sides understood that the Yimeng guerrillas were under great pressure. If the Japanese army did not launch a new offensive, they could withdraw at least 200,000 troops, equivalent to six Type A divisions.

Upon knowing the news, Chen Feng decisively drove Wu Tianxiang's Second Battalion down the mountain and sent it to garrison in Feixian County. Only Wang Hanqiang's Third Battalion and the new recruits were left on the mountain. There was no time to leave step by step. The Third Battalion had 500 soldiers, and the new recruits had 1,300 soldiers. One veteran led two or three new recruits to familiarize themselves with the tunnel defense system and various heavy firepower. Once the new recruits were familiar with everything, the Third Battalion would also go down the mountain.

The members of the new recruits were stunned when they entered the tunnel defense system. They knew that the Yimeng guerrillas were powerful, but they didn't expect them to be so terrifyingly powerful. Type 75 heavy machine guns and Type light machine guns were lined up in rows, infantry guns, indirect fire guns and mm mountain guns were everywhere, and there were strange machine guns in the bunkers that could be fired at the sky and the ground. There was also a weapon called the Shenlong rocket launcher, and each squad had one.

Artillerymen played with cannons, machine gunners played with guns, rocket soldiers played with bazookas, and some new recruits with excellent marksmanship played with snipers while holding 98k.

On the night of May 5, the National Army retreated hundreds of miles overnight. On the early morning of the 24th, the Japanese army rushed to the National Army's position under the cover of heavy artillery and aircraft, but found the position empty. Anami Korechika ordered the entire army to advance. The large Japanese force entered the three towns of Wuhan at 25 am on the 25th. At noon, the Japanese army sent a radio message that they had occupied Wuhan, an important city in the Chinese hinterland. From then on, the Battle of Wuhan was declared over.

The Chinese people did not criticize the failure of the Battle of Wuhan. Compared with the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan were already very well fought. The Chinese people did not become discouraged because of the fall of Wuhan. On the contrary, they gave high praise to the Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone.

In terms of the losses of the Japanese army, the figures counted by the Japanese side are the number of deaths and the number of people seriously injured, which is controlled to be less than 100,000. However, the statistics of the Kuomintang government are the number of Japanese soldiers killed and injured, their own deaths, and their own people seriously injured. The two sides have been arguing over the casualty figures. The Japanese side will definitely not acknowledge the figures given by the Kuomintang government. The battle losses are close to one to one. Where will they put their face?

The data of both sides are somewhat inflated, with the Japanese side reporting slightly more. The actual situation was that the Japanese army suffered about 70,000 casualties, while the Nationalist army suffered about 160,000 casualties, barely approaching a two-to-one loss ratio.

On June 1939, 6, a Japanese infantry battalion set out from Sishui. They received an order to station in Pingyi County and serve as an outpost for the attack on Mengshan. The spies in Sishui City reported the news immediately. The Second Company of the Guard Battalion, which was closest to Sishui City, rushed forward quickly and successfully set up an ambush in Hejiawa before the Japanese battalion arrived, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

The company commander of the Second Company of the Guard Battalion was named Zhuang Suqing. He was an elite member of the escort squad who stayed in Mengshan with Lin Chuan. He came with Lin Chuan and a female spy from the Statistics Bureau. After several months of baptism of war, he led the Second Company of the Guard Battalion to achieve excellent results.

Today is the first battle after going down the mountain. The battalion commander called and asked the second company to handle this brigade on its own. Not a single Japanese soldier is allowed to reach Pingyi. We don’t need to annihilate them all, but we must defeat them, and there can’t be heavy losses.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army arrived. The team of one thousand people was mighty. Although it was an infantry battalion, it had only cavalry and trucks. Two squads of cavalry were marching in front on guard. The more than ten trucks behind were full of Japanese soldiers, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 99 light machine guns were mounted on the front of the trucks.

"Captain, the cavalry is coming, should we fight them?"

"Let them go. There are machine gun positions behind to deal with them. We will attack the infantry on the trucks. Tell the artillery and rocket soldiers to take the gunshot as a signal and aim and fire. This is our first battle after we come down the mountain and we must fight with authority."

The second batch of 500 rocket launchers arrived. The rocket launchers of the Yimeng guerrillas were distributed to platoon-level units, with three rocket launchers to a platoon, six to the company headquarters, and three more to the company headquarters' elite special operations team. While waiting for the cavalry to arrive, twelve rocket launchers were hidden on the more than 200-meter front line, aiming at the trucks behind.

boom!

The unique gunshot of 98k was heard, and the driver of the first truck was shot in the head. The truck lost control and slid to the side, hitting a large tree on the side of the road.

All, all, all, all!

The mortars 150 meters to the north opened fire. The task of the six mortars was to complete rapid fires within seconds.

As the gunshots rang out, more than a dozen team members carrying rocket launchers suddenly appeared on the earthen embankment 100 meters away from the road and took aim and opened fire.

Tsk~tsk~.

The rocket flew towards the truck with a sharp whistling sound.

An MG34 and two Type heavy machine guns had their camouflage torn off, and eight Type light machine guns were also set up on a tripod with the help of auxiliary machine gunners.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck!

Tart tart tart tart tart tart!

Eleven chains of fire aimed at the road and began to harvest.

The whizzing and exploding sounds of mortar shells, the hissing and exploding sounds of flying rockets, the mad harvesting sounds of light and heavy machine guns, plus the precise sniping of the 98k, made the highway a mess. The heavy firepower on the roofs of the Japanese vehicles could not react at all. Some Japanese soldiers tried to take control, but they could not escape the fate of being shot in the head by the 98k.
