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

Half an hour later, the gunshots gradually became sparse. The Japanese soldiers who should have run had already run away, and those who could not run away had all become corpses.

Forty minutes later, the Lunan Detachment began to clean up the battlefield, and the Yimeng Guerrillas also climbed up the opposite hillside to dismantle the unexploded booby traps.

When the battle situation was already decided, Lin Chuan arranged for a telegram to be sent to the captain of Mengshan, asking for the annihilation of the 5th Division and seeking a distribution plan for the spoils. He received a reply within ten minutes. The Guard Regiment would receive whatever it needed and everything else would be thrown to the Lunan Detachment. After the Guard Regiment was replenished, it would immediately rush to Laomaoshan and participate in the siege of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army.

Political Commissar Li came back with a big knife on his shoulder and blood all over his body, shocking Lin Chuan and Yang Qingfeng. Yang Qingfeng hurried forward to support Political Commissar Li, who staggered and frightened Yang Qingfeng.

"Old Li, what happened? Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?"

"Old Yang, don't be so startled. You're exhausted from chasing the Japanese."

"You scared me to death, Lao Li. You are covered in blood. Did you kill any Japanese?"

"We led two companies and fought for three kilometers, chopped off eight Japanese heads, and the blades of our knives were all blunt."

"Okay, Lao Li, we've been together for more than half a year, and you're really a hidden talent!"

Lin Chuan also stepped forward to express his admiration.

"Captain Yang, Political Commissar Li, thank you so much this time. Without your help, we would have had no choice but to launch the sneak attack and run away."

"Captain Lin, you're welcome. We are now under the leadership of Captain Lengqiang. Besides, there is no distinction between you and me when it comes to killing the Japanese. By the way, we have captured a lot of spoils this time! I wonder how Captain Lin plans to distribute them?"

After Political Commissar Li finished speaking, he and Yang Qingfeng looked at Lin Chuan eagerly. They didn't expect much, they would be satisfied if they could get half.

"It's like this. We have to go to Anshan Temple near Laomao Mountain to participate in the ambush of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army. We will be withdrawing soon, so we don't need to seize the spoils. However, we can get half of the mortar shells. The rest will be enough. Going back to Pingyi City to get the mortar shells will delay the ambush."

"How can this be done, Captain Lin? How about this! It doesn't matter if you don't have time to clean up, we will clean up together. You can take as many mortar shells as you can, and we will divide the rest of the spoils equally. We will send someone to deliver yours to Pingyi City. How do you think about that?"

"Captain Yang, don't be polite. We only want mortar shells. This is what the captain meant."

Yang Qingfeng and Political Commissar Li were very excited:

"Political Commissar Li, please take a little more effort to pick out all the mortar shells and let Commander Lin take them away."

Political Commissar Li went to get busy, and Lin Chuan also ordered the troops to assemble. There were thousands of officers and soldiers in the guard regiment, except for the first company of the first battalion that stayed behind to guard Pingyi City, the rest were all here.

In less than ten minutes, Political Commissar Li arrived with dozens of soldiers driving more than twenty horse-drawn carriages.

"Captain Lin, all the artillery shells that didn't explode from the Japanese Fifth Division are here. There are two trucks of 150mm howitzer shells, eight trucks of 75mm field artillery shells, and the rest are all infantry gun and mortar shells. We won't need them, so you can take them all away."

"Thank you very much, Battalion Commander."

"arrive"!

"Take away all the heavy artillery and field artillery shells, and half of the infantry artillery and mortar shells, and set off immediately to attack Laomao Mountain."

"Yes"!

Seeing that Political Commissar Li and Yang Qingfeng were still trying to give way, Lin Chuan saluted them:

"Thank you very much. We have to hurry on our way and must travel light. There's no need to refuse."

After the two men returned the greetings, Lin Chuan clasped his fists and mounted his warhorse.

Seeing Lin Chuan leave, Yang Qingfeng and Political Commissar Li looked at each other. They were shocked at the wealth of the Guard Corps, but also happy about having made a fortune.

"Report, an urgent telegram from the cold-gun captain of the Yimeng guerrillas."

"Lao Yang, check quickly to see if there has been another order. Don't let us attack Laomao Mountain, otherwise all the spoils will be lost."

Yang Qingfeng unfolded the telegram and read it with Political Commissar Li. Fortunately, Leng Qiang had considered it carefully and assigned half of the Lunan Detachment to ambush at Laomao Mountain, and the remaining half to transport the spoils. This was very thoughtful!

The two men quickly divided the work, with Political Commissar Li leading 500 soldiers to mobilize the masses to transport the spoils, while Yang Qingfeng led 1,200 people with weapons and ammunition to attack Laomao Mountain. More than 300 of the 2,000 troops were lost in the ambush, but Yang Qingfeng not only did not give in, but also brought more than 200 more soldiers. There must be meat to eat in Laomao Mountain, and as big a pot as possible would give as much rice as possible. Yang Qingfeng was no longer the captain who was ecstatic when he picked up dozens of rifles and one or two Type 99 rifles at the foot of Mount Ni. Now his vision has been broadened and his appetite has been increased.

On Mount Mengshan, Chen Feng was more or less surprised. In the Xiong'er Mountain ambush, the best result Chen Feng expected was to consume several thousand troops of the Sakagami Division. Unexpectedly, the Guard Regiment and the Lunan Detachment basically annihilated them. It is said that the number of Japanese soldiers who escaped would not exceed two or three thousand. Eighteen thousand Japanese soldiers were wiped out through field ambush. No one would believe it if they told it to others. However, the march of the Japanese Eighth Route Column reported by Lin Chuan did give the ambush team a great opportunity.

And the 32nd Division has already arrived at the foot of Laomao Mountain and set up camp. They may not know the news of the Sakagami Division's destruction yet. They will probably receive the news when the defeated Japanese soldiers flee back to Lincheng. By then it will be dark, and Chen Feng will not give them any chance whether they advance, retreat or stay where they are.

The 123rd Regiment plus the Guard Regiment have 4,000 troops, the New 4th Division has sent 1,500, and the Lunan Detachment will also have 800 to 1,000 troops. A total of more than 6,000 troops will be used against the 18,000 troops of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army. The Japanese Army had been ambushed for a day, and their heavy artillery, armored vehicles and tanks had been almost completely lost. Chen Feng was confident that he could defeat them.

Laomao Mountain belongs to Sishui City, Jining Prefecture. If the 32nd Division wants to reach Mengyin, the best route is to go from Zengjiazhuang on the east side of Laomao Mountain through the mountains along the Anshan Temple line. Other routes can also be used to reach the mountain, but there are several armored vehicles and tanks in the team, as well as more than a dozen field artillery carried by trucks. The road conditions on other routes are very poor.

When the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army set up camp at the foot of Laomao Mountain, it was still light. Li Ergou's special operations team from the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Yimeng Guerrillas made detailed observation records on the mountain. The positions of the artillery, the military tents, and the baggage were all clearly marked. They were just waiting for the siege troops to arrive and launch an attack together.

In the Japanese military camp, the commander of the 32nd Division was in a state of confusion when he read the telegram sent by the Lincheng garrison. The 5th Division was gone, and there were only more than 2,000 remnants left out of a force of nearly 20,000. The commander of the division was most likely burned to charcoal in the armored vehicle.

Cold sweat broke out on Kimura Heitaro's forehead. If you ask him which general he admires the most, Sakagami Seishirō is definitely one of them. Half of his division swept across Shanxi, captured Linyi, moved to Xuzhou, and participated in the Battle of Wuhan, all of which achieved excellent results. The Fifth Division was almost invincible, and the National Army would flee wherever it went. Now it's suddenly gone. I heard that it was ambushed and killed by the Chinese guerrillas. Kimura Heitaro was confused. This joke was not funny at all.
