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

The Japanese army launched countless desperate charges. The battle situation was obvious, and bombers provided hundreds of sorties of assistance every day, but there was no way the National Army and the Allied Forces would let them go back. The Japanese troops that retreated across the Xinqiang River came back to provide support twice, but were blocked both times by the National Army and the Allied Forces who had re-stationed the troops on the south bank of the Xinqiang River.

There was no hope, the three damaged divisions were doomed, but the Japanese army still did not give up and ordered the three divisions to hold their ground and wait for reinforcements. Even if they were completely wiped out, they had to stay in the heart of the enemy for as long as possible.

After a week of continuous fighting, the heavy firepower of the three divisions was lost, the armored units had long since disappeared, and there were major problems with baggage and supplies, so they could only rely on airdrops for support every day.

The National Army, taking advantage of its geographical location near the mountainous area, blocked all of the Japanese army's retreat routes and set up layers of trenches on the periphery. There were machine gun positions everywhere, and every day they greeted them with captured heavy artillery and field artillery. It was only a matter of time before they were wiped out. There was no need to rush. If we didn't train the recruits well with such an opportunity to train, it would be a shame to the advantage that 300,000 troops had fought for. The Chinese and foreign press corps were also very busy. Every day, special forces escorted them to get close to the Japanese formation to take pictures. Three divisions were surrounded. This was an unprecedented result. The leaders of all parties wanted to maximize the benefits of this victory.

In three days, the Japanese army made seven joint breakouts. They wanted to gather the three divisions together and then break out to the north together, but the Nationalist army would not let them do what they wanted. The superiors issued a death order that the chief officer of any place that had problems would be executed on the spot. When the Japanese were fighting desperately, the Nationalist army's defense line was united, from the division commander down, all officers took the lead, and no matter which direction the Japanese army broke out from, it was an iron wall.

At dusk on October 10, things had almost fermented to the point of escalating. In order to avoid further complications, the Chongqing high-level officials personally ordered an annihilation. After the last wave of planes left, the National Army began to bombard three Japanese positions, concentrating nearly half of the artillery fire from two war zones and bombarding the Japanese circular fortifications for two hours.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the surrounding Kuomintang troops began a fierce siege. Although the Japanese army did not have heavy firepower, it had a large number of light and heavy machine guns. The special forces were still in the front. Their task was to clear the firepower points of the circular fortifications in time and cover the troops' charge.

The Japanese army had been besieged for many days, and the camp was full of wounded soldiers. They had long lost their arrogance. Although they accepted the airdrop and did not starve to death, they had long lost their spirit in the face of extreme disadvantages. After more than two hours of heavy bombardment, the defense system of the circular fortifications also had problems.

At 7:20, the vanguard team rushed up the circular fortifications and began to quickly break through on both sides. In just half an hour, the first line of defense was broken. The Japanese army had no hope. The commander organized the remaining soldiers and lightly wounded soldiers to prepare for one last fight.

The National Army troops did not give them any chance. In the words of Leng Qiang, the former captain of the Lone Wolf Commando, to deal with the Japs, you can use cannons instead of guns, machine guns instead of rifles, and guns instead of bayonets. If you still use bayonets when you have a clear advantage, then the commander must be crazy.

The officers and soldiers of the Ninth War Zone and the Fifth War Zone were the most affected by Cold Gun. The special operations teams were almost all developed slowly by special operations members who had been taught by the Sniper God under Cold Gun. After the troops occupied the outer circular fortifications, they immediately began to set up machine gun positions, seized the Japanese weapons and brought by their own troops, and aimed the light and heavy machine guns at the Japanese troops who were ready to fight to the death in the cover of night.

Seeing that the time was almost right, the Japanese commander drew his sword and shouted, "Die!"

The machine guns of the National Army started firing. Type 92, Maxim, Czech, Type 92, and some other miscellaneous machine guns and submachine guns fired at the same time. The remnants of the Japanese army who started the charge were instantly riddled with holes, and fell on the road with their eyes wide open, dying with their eyes wide open! They still hated the enemy's lack of martial ethics before they died.

After a circle of machine gun fire for more than half an hour, the Japanese soldiers who were preparing for a desperate charge were almost all dead. Only corpses and some seriously wounded were left on the ground. The white flag was raised, and many wounded had collapsed. There were also some who were mixed in with grenades in their hands, preferring to die rather than be captured.

"Commander, the Japanese have raised the white flag, what should we do?"

"You bastard, you have sharp eyes. It's dark and I'm blind and can't see. Send out a signal flare and then come over and throw a grenade."

A signal flare was launched into the air, the machine guns stopped firing, groups of infantrymen moved forward, and thousands of grenades flew towards the Japanese wounded soldiers' camp with a humming sound.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The violent explosion raised a huge flame. Not only the outer part exploded, but also the innermost part exploded. Needless to say, it was the wounded Japanese soldier who detonated the grenade himself.

The commander slapped the guard who had been sharp-eyed just now.

"You little bastard, next time you have to learn to pretend to be blind, okay? If our soldiers had gone up to mess with the seriously wounded just now, dozens of grenades would have caused us heavy losses."

"Master, I understand. No matter what they do, we must turn them into corpses first."

The Kuomintang soldiers continued to break through, and when the grenades were thrown into the innermost barracks, the battle was basically over. They still had to be busy, cleaning up and handling the Japanese corpses, firing flares for reporters to take pictures, and burying them after taking pictures. The battlefield also needed to be cleaned. Although the three divisions had lost their heavy firepower, their ordinary weapons and ammunition were enough for them to make another wave of gains.

"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. We must set out before ten o'clock to reinforce Xinqiang River. Notify all units that they must enter the Xinqiang River position before dawn and exchange guard with the brothers in the Fifth War Zone."

One Type A Division, two Type B Divisions, and more than 60,000 troops were reduced to 40,000. After half a night of "fierce fighting", except for more than 1,000 prisoners of the Type A Division, the rest were all buried. At ten o'clock in the evening, the team set out for the Xinqiang River. They had to replace the troops of the Fifth War Zone before dawn. The remaining 60,000 troops of the Fifth War Zone had to rush back to their original bases to deploy defenses. The more than 100,000 troops of the Ninth War Zone would continue to confront the Japanese army on the Xinqiang River line.

In the early morning of October 10, newspapers in the Kuomintang-controlled areas were once again out of stock.

"Breaking News! Breaking News! The 11th Army of the Japanese Army has been completely routed. Our army has retook the south bank of the Xinqiang River. The 9th War Zone and the 5th War Zone have jointly annihilated three complete divisions of the Japanese Army, killing more than 60,000 Japanese troops and wounding more than 40,000 Japanese troops. The Japanese Army's Hunan attack has been declared a failure."

Some newspapers have attached photos. Under the illumination of flares, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were scattered all over the mountains and plains, neatly arranged. It was very shocking.

At two o'clock in the morning, the news reached Mengshan. Li Yunyan rubbed her sleepy eyes and reported to Chen Feng. This time the battle situation report was more realistic. According to preliminary statistics, the Japanese army suffered 60,000 casualties and at least 30,000 wounded. In other words, of the 170,000 troops of the 11th Army plus three Type B divisions, only 80,000 can fight now. They can only put together two Type A divisions and one Type B division. It will take at least one or two months for the 30,000 to 40,000 wounded soldiers to recover most of their combat effectiveness.

With such a small number of troops, they still need to garrison the Xinqiang River. On the other side, there are more than 100,000 nationalist troops from the Ninth War Zone eyeing them covetously. Shandong Province is temporarily safe. Unless the headquarters continues to transfer troops from the country, it will be difficult to gather troops that can threaten the safety of the Yimeng guerrillas.
