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

On June 6, the Japanese 26th Division and the nd Division set out. The th Division marched out of Lincheng in a mighty force and headed straight for Pingyi County.

The 32nd Division left Teng County and headed northeast towards Mengyin. The plan of the two divisions was to capture the two counties of Pingyi and Mengyin today and surround Mengshan tomorrow.

The Japanese army did not know that the Yimeng guerrillas had gone down the mountain. They believed that the guerrillas would continue to defend Mount Meng to the death, and that only the special forces and some small-scale guerrillas were harassing them.

As soon as the Fifth Division left Lincheng, it was harassed by the special forces. They were marching smoothly when suddenly there was an explosion on the road. The armored vehicles flew up into the air and a big hole was blown out on the road. Seeing several attackers running for their lives, the Japanese infantry became furious instantly. Two teams of devils changed direction and chased in the direction the attackers fled.

The engineers began to deal with the accident, commanding the tanks to push the wreckage of the destroyed tank off the road and immediately began to fill the hole. Fortunately, the surrounding area was full of soil mixed with gravel, so it would not take long to repair it.

A lieutenant found an electric wire in the grass by the roadside. After pulling it, he found the explosive device and quickly reported it to the division commander. Sakagami Seishirō didn't care. Fighting with a cold gun, the journey would not be smooth sailing. As long as they controlled the losses and entered Pingyi City, Mengshan would be helpless.

"Tattah tattah tattah tattah"!

"Puff, cluster, cluster, cluster!"

Suddenly, the sound of machine guns was heard from the direction of pursuit, and all the Japanese soldiers understood that the pursuit had encountered a machine gun position that was blocking the way.

A squadron of Japanese soldiers left the team and quickly advanced in the direction of the gunfire, carrying mortars. Before they saw the machine gun position, the gunfire suddenly stopped. By the time the squadron saw the ambush site, there were only dozens of corpses left on the position. The two squads were completely wiped out.

The squadron leader did not dare to order a pursuit, and instead ordered the soldiers to carry the bodies back. The bodies were to be thrown on trucks and cremated when the opportunity arose.

The squadron had just left the position with the bodies when they suddenly heard the sound of mortars firing.

"All in, all in, all in, all in!"

boom! Boom boom! Boom boom boom!

Five rounds of extremely rapid fire, dozens of shells hit the Japanese squadron in less than a minute, and then there was no movement. The uninjured Japanese artillerymen just set up the mortar, but found that they didn't know where to hit.

There were dozens more corpses and dozens more wounded. Not daring to delay, the squadron leader ordered his troops to withdraw immediately. All the Japanese troops on the road were on alert. Another squadron was about to go in to support when they suddenly discovered that the squadron in front had come out, but they looked very embarrassed.

After filling the hole, the team continued to move forward. Although Sakagami Seishirō was a little annoyed, he forced himself to control his emotions and tried to convince himself that these were minor episodes that would not change the general direction.

The vanguard reconnaissance team conducted more rigorous investigations, not only investigating dangerous places on the roadside, but also the surrounding farmlands, even if they could see through the farmlands at a glance.

The team had just advanced two kilometers when suddenly dozens of white smoke came. The Japanese had seen this kind of thing before, and the commander shouted loudly:

"Anti-artillery"!

"Get down!"

boom! Boom boom!

This time, the target was still heavy artillery, field artillery and tanks, but this time the Japanese were smarter. The truck towing three heavy artillery and more than ten field guns did not carry heavy artillery shells, and the explosion only destroyed four or five armored vehicles and seven or eight 75 field guns.

A rocket was fired, and the rocket soldier bent down and ran with the rocket launcher. This time he did not dare to get too close, beyond a distance of 250 meters. Although he took the falling vehicle into account, the result was not as good as yesterday. Only half of the 30 rocket launchers hit the target, and he could only fire one shot and then run. If it was too late, he would not be able to escape.

Seeing the attackers running away with unknown weapons, several Japanese commanders instantly became furious. They had to catch them and seize the weapons. Seizing the weapons would be a great achievement.

"Sudden death, give it to me!"

"Hundreds of Japs began to chase, the Type 38 rifles fired loudly, and the rocket soldiers turned a high slope and disappeared from the sight of the pursuing soldiers."

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers, led by several squadron leaders, rushed up the hill with rifles in hand, saw the attackers' tail and went into a forest. They should have stopped the pursuit as they had just encountered an ambush, but the new weapons were too important and they were about to get them, so they couldn't let the cooked duck fly away.

"Sudden death, give it to me!"

The Japanese army continued to pursue, and the sound of gunfire was chaotic. When they were about to enter the forest, the squadron leader in the front suddenly looked terrified. The bushes in front suddenly opened up, revealing a row of black muzzles. What kind of gun was that? It looked quite advanced!

Just as the squadron leader was about to shout for everyone to get down, the machine guns started firing. All six MG34 anti-aircraft machine guns were switched to heavy machine gun mode. Six chains of fire swept back and forth across the pursuing Japanese troops, and the sound of bullets hitting flesh was endless.

The squadron leader was beaten into a sieve, his chest and abdomen were all broken, and his whole body was like a piece of rag.

boom!Boom!

The sniper rifles also opened fire, focusing on the commander and the machine gunner with the Type 99 rifle. After shooting these two types, they began to call out the names of the Japanese soldiers who were lying down and preparing to fight back.

In just less than two minutes, there were no Japanese soldiers left standing. The machine gunners began to dismantle their machine guns, and then ran away carrying them. The snipers were still calling out the names of the wailing Japanese soldiers, but when they saw that the machine gunners had run fifty or sixty meters, they put away their sniper rifles and began to evacuate.

Just two minutes after running out, the sound of mortar shells exploding came from behind.

Do not be greedy for credit. This was the order given by the captain himself last night. No matter how you launch a surprise attack, you must set the retreat time according to the terrain. Even if you are facing the Japanese emperor, you must not fight for a second longer. This sentence appeared three times in the telegram, which shows how much the captain attaches importance to it.

The captain couldn't be wrong. Given the situation just now, if I had run two minutes later, I probably wouldn't have had to run.

Chen Feng emphasized once again to the commanders of various units last night that the Japanese Fifth Division has fought hundreds of battles of all sizes, and its reaction time is by no means comparable to that of the 32nd and 33rd Class B Divisions. No matter how they launch a surprise attack, they must be prepared for a retreat, and must provide cross-cover and block the attack in batches.

The battle damage was revealed: five armored vehicles were broken, one 150mm heavy artillery piece was broken, six 75mm field artillery pieces were broken, soldiers were killed, were seriously injured, and were slightly injured.

The major who was reporting the battle damage was trembling with fear, afraid that the division commander would slap him in the face, and he didn't dare to look up.

Sakagami Seishirō was terrifyingly calm. The more so, the more it proved that Leng Qiang was afraid that he would reach Mengshan. Yesterday and today, he used mysterious weapons twice. It seemed that Leng Qiang was anxious.

"Order! The search team should continue searching, and the troops should slow down and continue marching after the reconnaissance is completed. It doesn't matter if we can't reach Pingyi City today."

"Send a telegram to the 32nd Division, reminding them to be alert during the march. The cold guns may be in a hurry, so be careful of sneak attacks by their special forces."

"Also tell them to go wherever they want, set up camp when it gets dark, and be fully prepared to prevent a night attack by the guerrillas."
