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

On November 1939, 11, the 8th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the beginning of winter, the foot of Mount Meng was covered in white in the early morning. The first snow had not yet fallen, and the grass and trees were covered with early winter frost. The training ground was still filled with deafening shouts of killing, and the soldiers were in high spirits. They inserted their bayonets into the sorghum stalks again and again, and their sweat fell on the solidified ground. Steam was rising from the flat ground.

Li Yunyan came down the mountain with an envelope and found Chen Feng who was training with the soldiers. His naked upper body was still white and tender, and his muscle lines were more obvious. The muscles on both sides of his back were bulging. Every time he stabbed, it seemed like he was about to explode. Resisting the urge to watch for a while longer, Li Yunyan shouted a report:

"Report to the captain, confidential telegram from Chongqing, top secret."

Chen Feng threw the rifle to the soldier beside him, took the clothes and put them on. He was only wearing a coat in the early winter weather, and he didn't know if it was comfortable on his sweaty body. Seeing Chen Feng coming over, Li Yunyan tried to hold back her blush and advised:

"Captain, you're still sweaty and your clothes will get wet in a moment. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Chen Feng took the envelope handed over by Li Yunyan, checked the seal, opened it and began to browse:

"It's okay. We still have training to do soon. The sun will come out after we finish breakfast. It will dry up in a while if we hang on the branches."

After reading the telegram, Chen Feng slapped his forehead.

"Something happened. We can't train anymore. Let's go up the mountain."

The telegram was received by Song Zihan. Li Yunyan didn't know the content. She was a little curious when she heard it, but she couldn't ask.

"Captain Lu".

"arrive"!

"Get ready. A company of soldiers will start having lunch at 11 o'clock and set off at 12 o'clock. Use trucks to pick up people for escort mission. No need to bring heavy firepower."

"Yes".

"Let's go! Go up the mountain first, it's too sudden."

Seeing Li Yunyan's bewildered face, Chen Feng explained:

"The journalists from the American delegation are preparing to depart from Shanghai for an inspection and are expected to arrive at the coast of Shijiu around 6 p.m. Please, Chongqing has repeatedly urged us to entertain them well."

"American? We don't have much in common! Oh, I know, he must be here for your name."

When Chen Feng saw the telegram, his heart moved slightly. In two years, the United States and Japan would go to war. In the last four years of the War of Resistance, American arms aid would be a big cake. When the inspection team came to take a look at the situation, there would be a chance to establish some contacts, and who knows when it would be useful.

At twelve o'clock noon, Chen Feng set off on a truck with a company of soldiers, taking Li Yunyan and the radio with him, to contact the expedition team to land at Lanshantou, and try not to use Shijiu if possible.

The garrison forces of the New Fourth Division and the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment along the way received the telegram in the morning and had already begun alert and clearing. The convoy had a smooth journey wherever it went and moved forward in a swagger without worrying that the Japanese army would send planes to bomb. Each defense zone had established a radio communication mechanism, and the garrison would immediately report back to the headquarters wherever there was a plane passing in a certain direction.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the convoy arrived at Lanshantou. Captain Huang Shanhe of the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment had already cleared the coast with the special forces and was on guard at the beach. When he saw the convoy arrive, Chen Feng ran out of the car first.

"Captain, we have been observing for more than an hour, and there is no movement on the sea."

Wang Hansheng nodded.

"Don't be in a hurry, the time has not come yet. Old Huang, how is the development? Are there any difficulties?"

Huang Shanhe was among the first group to join the Yimeng Guerrillas. Last year, The Condor Heroes left southwestern Shandong and established the Yimeng Guerrillas in Mengshan. Huang Shanhe and his team were the first to join them.

In one year, the captain of the Wild Wolf Commando has undergone tremendous changes. His eyes are deep, and he is as still as a mountain. There is murderous intent in his cold eyes. It seems that he has been through a lot on this line!

"Captain, everything is going well here. Our battalion now has 600 soldiers. The special forces have infiltrated Haizhou (Lianyungang). The Japanese army is rebuilding the dock there. In addition, the railway line from Xuzhou to Haizhou is also being maintained. I heard it is related to coal transportation. Once they have completed the repairs, we will apply to the regiment headquarters and give them a devastating blow."

Chen Feng understood the importance of Lianyungang. As the seaward end of the Longhai Line, it would be a huge coal handling terminal in the future. However, the Longhai Line has not yet been fully opened to traffic. From any perspective, it is not as important as the Jinpu Line. The reason why the Third Regiment was stationed in Dingzigou and advanced to Lanshantou to open up the estuary was the importance of Haizhou (Lianyungang).

"Old Huang, conduct a more detailed reconnaissance. Don't just investigate the situation on land. Ask nearby fishermen about the forces at sea. When you get close to the coast, any military action must take into account the support of Japanese naval guns."

"Don't worry, Captain. We have established friendships with many fishing boats. Every day, mule and horse convoys come to buy the yellow croaker and other seafood they catch, transport them back to Mengshan, and sell them in several counties. We have helped them a lot, so naturally they will tell us everything they know."

This news shocked Chen Feng. He had eaten fish and shrimp a few times and thought that the logistics department occasionally purchased them by pretending to open up the routes. Now it seems that an industrial chain has been formed!

Very good, very good. Regardless of whether it makes money or not, Mengshan is not short of that little bit of money, but this direction of sustainable development is worth learning. I don’t have time to pay attention to people’s livelihood issues. All logistical matters are handed over to Yan Jiaming of the Logistics Department. I didn’t expect that this inconspicuous wounded platoon leader has such a business mind. I have to have a good talk with him when I go back. It is very important to conquer the territory, restore the economy and let the people live a good life. I don’t have the ability and time for this. If there are talents, they must be used.

"Captain, warship, hide quickly."

Huang Shanhe suddenly discovered a warship on the sea and was shocked. He had seen the power of warships and their guns. Once a cannon was fired, a house would be turned into powder.

Chen Feng picked up the telescope and vaguely saw the American flag on the warship in the dusk.

"It should be an American warship. Let the team members hide for a while. Yunyan, send a telegram to ask."

Li Yunyan had already adjusted the radio station. When she heard the words, she heard a beeping sound. After sending the message, she began to monitor. Five minutes later, the radio station received the signal.

"Captain, it's them, ready to rush ashore."

The sky gradually darkened. After more than ten minutes, a landing craft rushed towards the beach. Chen Feng, Li Yunyan and Huang Shanhe went to meet it and unexpectedly saw Liu Lihui.

Liu Lihui and several men in plain clothes got off the speedboat to provide security. Then several blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, both men and women, got off the speedboat, all carrying boxes and backpacks.

"Brother Liu, why are you here?"

Liu Lihui took a few steps forward and whispered:

"Don't worry about me for now, let the translator introduce them to you. Give face to big brother, you can't offend anyone."
