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

Just half an hour after the team withdrew, the guerrillas of the Lunan Detachment arrived again. Seeing the mess on the battlefield, they didn't even need to open fire to clear the remaining soldiers. The light and heavy machine guns, rifles, grenades, and canned food made this team, which was short of supplies and munitions, ecstatic. It was so comfortable. With two harvests in one night, the guerrilla platoon could soon be transformed into a guerrilla company, and they would no longer have to follow other teams to beg for money. They had enough firepower and could fight the Japanese with real guns and swords.

This time the masses were not mobilized. A platoon of more than 30 members simply buried the bodies of the Japanese soldiers and cleaned up the position by carrying the bodies on their shoulders.

In one night, there were battles everywhere from Mount Tai to Xuzhou. The task of the two battalions of the Guard Regiment was to eliminate the strongholds from Lincheng to Xuzhou. Only the Third Battalion and the Special Operations Battalion were responsible for clearing the reinforcements on the railway line. The troops were not enough, so they were assigned to the First Regiment and a long section of the railway line of the New Fourth Division. The First Regiment sought support from the Lunan Detachment, but most of them were there to clean up the battlefield and continue to destroy the railway line.

The Japanese radio stations in cities along the route were about to explode, with messages asking for help and farewell messages. How cruel! The Yimeng guerrillas were too cruel. They took advantage of us and refused to leave. They would come back to reap more benefits.

When the news reached the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, Bin Shanyuan was really troubled. What should he do? He lost another 5,000 or 6,000 troops in one night. The restoration of the railway line was far away. It was not realistic to transfer troops from other places. The resistance enthusiasm in various places was high, the guerrillas appeared and disappeared, and the national army in the confrontation in various defense zones was also ready to move. Bin Shanyuan felt deeply helpless.

The cold gun is a killer move as soon as it is fired. The mysterious weapon is too scary. The new weapon has been found out. The machine gun is a German MG34 anti-aircraft machine gun, the submachine gun is a German MP38, and the rifle is a German 98k. The funny thing is that there is still no information about the mysterious weapon. This is a completely German-equipped unit! And all members of the German-equipped unit can perform special operations.

Bin Shanyuan got a headache whenever he thought of anti-aircraft machine guns. With his vision, he had long seen that this type of machine gun could attack tanks and armored vehicles. The Type 95 medium tank, which had a thin skin and a lot of stuffing, and the Type 94 light armored vehicle (Type 94 bean tank), which also had weak protection, two types of heavy firepower that were rampant in China, were no match for the Yimeng guerrillas!

After being helpless, Bin Shanyuan continued to mobilize troops. There were more than 30,000 troops stationed on the Jinpu Line, and they had lost 12,000 to 13,000 of them. There were still nearly 20,000 troops. Five thousand were left in Xuzhou to the south and five thousand were left in Taishan to the north. The rest of the troops were divided into the north and south, and the railway line continued to be opened from Taishan and Xuzhou to the south and north.

This time they didn't do it themselves. The 5,000 Japanese troops on each side were only responsible for guarding. The ones who started the work were the Imperial Army transferred from all over Shandong Province. Under the emergency mobilization, basically all the Imperial Army in the western part of Shandong Province were mobilized, and the total number of people exceeded 10,000.

It's not that they didn't consider the common people. If it were somewhere else, if they just captured tens of thousands of common people, the speed would definitely increase by leaps and bounds. But this is Shandong Province, and across from them are the Yimeng guerrillas. These people are too brutal and would chop off the heads of the imperial army at any time.

And their captain, who likes to snipe thousands of miles away when he is angry, Bin Shanyuan will never admit that he is afraid, but the Shandong Provincial Garrison sent a solution, and Bin Shanyuan rejected it without any hesitation. However, Bin Shanyuan also has his own tricks, if he doesn't catch him, can he hire him? There are many poor people, and they don't have to pay. It is estimated that a few kilograms of food a day will be in an endless stream.

After the policy was issued, publicity began at the foot of Mount Tai and near Xuzhou, encouraging the Imperial Army to build railways. They were given three meals a day, enough food, and a large can of Japanese Imperial Army beef every day. After working for three days, they would be given five kilograms of food. After that, they would be given once every three days. If they worked for a month, they would be rewarded with five dollars.

Some people didn't believe it at first, but some of them, who had no food to eat, were tempted. Two days later, someone finally signed up regardless of the consequences. They were almost starving to death if they had no more food.

The Japanese soldiers showed enough respect to these skinny civilians, spending huge sums of money to buy horse bones. Their attitude was even better than that towards the Imperial Army. They were provided with three meals a day, plenty of sorghum rice, and a bowl of vegetable and meat soup with each meal. Although no meat could be seen, it was still a bit of meat.

The Japanese soldiers showed enough patience. It didn't matter if they worked slowly, they could take a break when they were tired, and they never used the whip.

Three days were up and the workers got off work early in the afternoon. Each worker went home carrying a bag of sorghum rice, and in the other hand holding canned beef that had been saved for the past three days. The canned beef was for the children to eat as a snack. Five kilograms of sorghum rice, along with vegetables, wild greens and sweet potato vines, was enough for the whole family to eat for a few days.

The news spread like this, and the labor team grew larger and larger. Whenever night fell, the Japanese army placed puppet troops on the periphery for guard duty and let the civilian laborers live near them with a very friendly attitude, which made the puppet troops dare not speak out. The spies from the First Regiment and the Guard Regiment did not dare to neglect them and quickly reported to the two regiment commanders. Ningbo and Lin Chuan did not dare to make a decision on their own. If they launched a sneak attack on the Japanese army, not to mention the puppet troops on the periphery, even shelling the innermost Japanese troops would be very troublesome and would likely cause casualties to the laborers.

The two quickly reported to Mengshan. In this case, they could only ask the captain for instructions. The three regiments were hard to quiet down, but the Lunan detachment was still in action. They continued to mobilize the masses to move the rails. At night, there were clanging noises on the railway line. The rails were moved away. The sleepers were not spared either. They were all good wood and could be used for anything.

Chen Feng was somewhat amused when he received the telegrams from the two regiments. The devils have a master! Not just ordinary masters, it is an open conspiracy, a naked open conspiracy, and there is no solution. Unless you don't consider the lives of the civilians and laborers, otherwise you will be passive no matter how you fight.

You can't blame the common people. When a family can't even survive, the first thing they think about is to have enough food to eat. Their demands are simple, and they don't have so many big principles in their hearts. Being able to fill their stomachs and survive is the most important thing.

"Send a telegram to the first regiment and ask them to send the second battalion to garrison in the Taishan Mountains. Give the second battalion commander autonomy and tell him not to rush to attack the Jinpu Line from Taishan to Jinan. First stabilize the pace and build more garrisons. Tell the second battalion commander that the army can be expanded. Five thousand is not too many, and two thousand is not too few. Take small steps and ensure the combat quality of the troops."

"Also tell Captain Ning to keep a close eye on the Japanese railway lines. They will not just repair them and leave them alone. They will definitely come up with some measures. Report any changes immediately."

"Yes"!

"Send a telegram to Lin Chuan of the Guard Regiment, telling him not to act hastily. Let them build and then fight after the construction is completed. At the same time, pay attention to the changes along the new railway lines of the Japanese army. It is unlikely that they will build new strongholds this time, but there must be other protective measures. Report any new measures or new means discovered immediately."

"Yes"!

Li Yunyan took the notebook and left. Chen Feng looked at her back in a daze. How on earth would the Japanese army defend themselves? They were not afraid of construction. They spent manpower and material resources on construction. They must have known that they would be attacked again. Such a large-scale construction must have a good defense plan. Chen Feng was puzzled.
