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

Seishirō Sakagami walked from the back to the front until he saw the armored vehicle without any damage. Seeing that the military police had been surrounding him, he understood that they were afraid that he would be sniped. Although he was not as high-ranking as Terauchi Hisaichi, Junichiroku and Okamura Yasuji, he was also a well-known figure in the Japanese army stationed in China. If he thought about it carefully, it was really possible. Forget it, stop showing off and just sit in the tank!

Seeing the division commander get into the armored vehicle, the security gendarmerie guards breathed a sigh of relief, but they still did not dare to be careless. After the armored vehicle started, dozens of cavalrymen followed closely on both sides. If the road was narrow, they would go off the highway to escort him. In any case, they could not stray too far from the armored vehicle that the division commander was riding in.

After leaving Lincheng area, the soldiers of the Second Battalion slowed down. They would not be able to reach Xiong'er Mountain by running like this. The first company commander and his machine gun platoon had made a wasted trip, but they did not feel any disappointment. Instead, they were describing the results of the battle with great enthusiasm. The rocket soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and special forces members fled for their lives after the battle and had no time to check how many items were blown up. The first company commander saw it clearly through the telescope.

"Captain Zhuang, the soldiers in the machine gun platoon and I have seen it. Most of the rockets hit the tanks and heavy artillery. Many tanks exploded and their turrets were blown off. As for the heavy artillery at the back, the Japanese actually put the shells and heavy artillery together. The artillery shells detonating together are terrifying. I guess the road was also damaged. There is a baggage train behind the Japanese army. I really don't know how they got through."

"Okay, stop nagging. Have you counted how many tanks and heavy artillery were destroyed?"

"I don't have a count, but there are definitely twelve tanks, and at least twelve heavy artillery pieces were blown up. Battalion Commander, I can guarantee these two data with my head."

Zhuang Suqing looked at the soldiers in the machine gun platoon.

"What about you? Do you know?"

"Battalion commander, I was so busy watching the excitement that I didn't count. However, I noticed that only three tanks did not explode, and I didn't pay attention to the heavy artillery."

"I saw it. The heavy artillery exploded. The shells flew and splattered everywhere. But that stuff is too thick. I don't know how many are left."

Zhuang Suqing had a headache. How should he report back? He couldn't just say that they were all blown up, but he didn't know how many were destroyed! Forget it, just tell the truth! It was really impossible to count the number of guns at that time.

"Stop moving forward, rest for half an hour, eat something to replenish your energy, the special forces team is ready to send a message."

The special forces all carry radios with them. Upon hearing this, the special forces member in charge of communications adjusted the radio and waited for the battalion commander's orders.

"Send a message to the regiment headquarters and forward it to Mengshan at the same time."

"At 6:25 am on June , the Second Battalion of the Guards Regiment ambushed the armored regiment and heavy artillery regiment of the Itagaki Division at Naina Mountain south of Lincheng, firing armor-piercing shells from rocket launchers, hitting at least tanks and at least heavy artillery pieces. The trucks carrying the heavy artillery carried a large number of shells, which exploded and destroyed the highway on the northwest side of Naina Mountain."

Zhuang Suqing hesitated for a while and continued:

"Our attacking team has no time to count the results of the battle. We estimate that we have destroyed twelve to fifteen tanks and twelve to fifteen heavy artillery pieces. We have not suffered any losses, have escaped the pursuers, and are retreating to the Xiong'er Mountain base."

The signalman sent the telegram with a ticking sound, and then continued to send a copy to Mengshan. After sending them, he packed up the radio and opened the can of beef handed to him by the battalion commander.

On Mount Mengshan, the signalman was receiving telegrams. Each guerrilla company had a dedicated communication channel, which was managed by a dedicated person. After the signalman translated the telegram, he sealed the envelope and handed it to the team leader Li Yunyan.

"Team Leader Li, urgent telegram from the Second Battalion of the Guard Regiment."

Li Yunyan took the envelope and trotted to the conference room cave.

"Report, urgent telegram from the Second Battalion of the Guard Regiment."

Chen Feng was putting flags on the sand table map. The entire southern Shandong area was on the sand table. The Yimeng guerrillas, the New Fourth Division, and the Southern Shandong Detachment had complex forces, and a unified deployment plan was required.

"Read it!"

Li Yunyan tore open the envelope and read the message:

"Telegram from the First Battalion of the Guard Regiment on clearing up the village, June 6th~".

After Li Yunyan finished reading the telegram, Chen Feng put down the flag in his hand.

"The Second Battalion fought very well. They were able to launch a surprise attack on the Itagaki Division and retreat safely. It looks like they put in a lot of effort!"

"Forward the telegram to all units above the company level so that everyone can study it, and also add a few sentences: turn passivity into initiative, make full use of the strategic depth and terrain environment, grasp the advantages of night combat, and find the right opportunity to kill the Japanese army."

"Yes"!

Just as Li Yunyan left, Song Zihan came in:

"Report to the captain, urgent telegram from Chongqing."

"read"!

"Telegram to Leng Qiang, captain of the Yimeng guerrillas. From today on, the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment will all obey Mengshan's orders. This order is the resolution of the National Government's Supreme Military Committee. If anyone disobeys, they will be subject to military law. I hope Captain Leng Qiang will work hard and lead the team to annihilate the stubborn enemy."

After listening to the telegram from Chongqing, Chen Feng understood how much importance the top leaders attached to this battle. The military law should be mainly to warn the Lunan Detachment. After sending Song Zihan away, Chen Feng looked at the sand table and fell into deep thought.

After arranging the power generation matters, Li Yunyan came back with two envelopes.

"Report, urgent telegram from the New Fourth Division and Lunan Detachment."

"Read! Read the ones from the New Fourth Division first."

Li Yunyan pulled out the telegram and was a little surprised when she saw the words on it, but she reacted instantly and began to read the telegram:

"Brother Lengqiang, the New Fourth Division is ready. How many soldiers should we send? Where should we fight? Just make the arrangements. The New Fourth Division will attack immediately after receiving the order."

Chen Feng would not be polite at this time. The New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment were important links, and their strength must be fully utilized.

"Send a telegram to the New Fourth Division, telling them not to move the troops in Yishui City and the east end of the courtyard, and to withdraw all other peripheral troops to join the defense of Menglianggu. Draw at least 1,500 core troops from Menglianggu, bring all firepower equipment and immediately march west to the front line of Chaishan and Laoshanding, join forces with a regiment in Ningbo, occupy all key terrain, and block and destroy the 32nd Division in Teng County."

"Also, send a telegram to the Lunan Detachment to gather its forces and merge them into the Guard Regiment. Before tonight, advance to the Xiong'er Mountain area to set up an ambush, build positions, and eliminate the Japanese army's manpower as soon as possible. Tell them not to be reluctant to part with their munitions. After this battle, I will find a way to replenish them."

"Order Wu Tianxiang of the Second Regiment to leave a battalion to continue guarding Fei County and be on guard against the Japanese troops in Linyi. Take the remaining troops to Jiujianpeng and set up an ambush on the line between Jiujianpeng and Wulong Lake."

"Telegram to Wang Hanqiang of the Third Regiment, order him to leave a company to guard the Linyi direction, and take the troops to set off immediately, station at Huangcaomu Mountain before dark, scout the terrain and prepare for an ambush."

Chen Feng arranged all the troops in one breath. He understood that this was the only way he could do it under the current circumstances. How well the battle would go would depend entirely on the performance of the commanders and blocking troops on the front line.
