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

In order to block the attack of the Japanese army's follow-up troops, Yang Qingfeng arranged three companies of troops to defend the flank and rear, and built three lines of defense on the left hillside. Thirty light and heavy machine guns were deployed on the defense lines, and there were twenty mortars behind the defense lines. The two companies of the guard regiment also each pulled out a machine gun platoon and ten rocket teams to join the defense lines. These three lines of defense are the focus of tonight. Once the Japanese army breaks through the uphill, there will be no need for an ambush.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The artillery of the Japanese follow-up troops opened fire first. Countless mortar shells whistled towards the slope positions. Explosions occurred frequently on the positions, and the soldiers hid in the trenches waiting for the shelling to end.

Two minutes later, the mortar position behind the defense line opened fire, twenty rounds at high speed, all aimed at the Japanese mortar positions.

boom! Boom boom boom!

There were continuous explosions in the Japanese mortar positions. Countless mortars were destroyed and many mortar shells were detonated, emitting flames that shot up into the sky.

After firing twenty rounds at high speed in one minute and twenty seconds, the artillery of the Lunan Detachment immediately moved their position. Less than a minute after they ran out, artillery shells hit them, and a cloud of fire and smoke rose from the previous artillery position.

After a round of shelling, the Japanese army began to charge. Observers on the three fronts blew their whistles, and the soldiers climbed out of the trenches, operated the machine guns and began to shoot.

Da da da da da da!

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck!

More than thirty chains of fire were fired on the three fronts, harvesting the Japanese troops who were charging in groups. The battle became intense from the beginning. Everyone knew the importance of this slope. The Japanese rushed up like crazy, and the ambush team members fired like crazy.

The Japanese mortars opened fire again. Having just lost a portion of them, they believed that the remaining ones had destroyed the Chinese artillery positions, so they adjusted their sights and aimed at the slopes of the three fronts.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The team members on the three fronts had no way to dodge and could only continue shooting towards the explosion. When the Japanese rushed to 200 meters, the rocket soldiers opened fire, and ten trails of white smoke rushed towards the Japanese who were charging in groups.

boom! Boom boom boom!

After a violent explosion, a large area was cleared of the Japanese stormtroopers.

After completing a round, the rocket soldiers changed their rockets and moved their positions.

Before the second round of shooting was launched, the location where the rocket was launched was the focus of Japanese mortar fire.

The rocket soldiers moved away from the machine gun position and continued to aim and shoot.

Tsk! Tsk, tsk, tsk!

boom! Boom boom boom!

The Japanese charging troops lost another area.

The twenty mortars on the hillside have moved their positions and continued to aim at the Japanese mortar positions. If the mortars are not destroyed, the three fronts will not be able to hold out for long.

All, all, all, all!

This time it was still a rapid fire of twenty rounds. The positions were all built in advance, and they could start shooting by adjusting the shooting scale. Anyway, even if they couldn't hit the artillery, they could hit the Japanese's large forces. After the twenty shells were fired, there was no time to dismantle them. The artillery carried the mortar and continued to change positions.

A minute later, the artillery bombardment that was supposed to arrive did not come. After waiting for another minute, there was still no movement down the slope. The artillery commander judged that the Japanese army did not have many mortars left, and immediately ordered the third position to bombard the charging Japanese army.

After setting up the mortar and adjusting the firing scale, he fired ten rounds at the Japanese army cluster at high speed.

Boom! Boom boom boom!

The artillery fired ten rapid shots and then ran away. They didn't dare to bet whether the Japanese artillery was finished. If it was not finished, they would be finished first with a round of rapid shots.

The assault troop suffered countless casualties and was only fifty meters away from the position. They only needed a few seconds to throw a grenade. The explosion came, hitting the middle and front end of the Japanese assault troop. Hundreds of shells exploded, clearing the area of ​​dozens of meters in the middle and front end.

The Japanese army retreated like a tide, and there seemed no hope for a charge.

Hashimoto Hiderai looked gloomy and hopeless. If the fighting continued, the Jinpu Line would not be able to be defended. The opposite side had mysterious weapons and German-made machine guns. Judging from the firepower configuration, they were definitely the main force of the Yimeng guerrillas. He couldn't understand why the commander let him go out to die.

"Fire signal flares, retreat across the board, and organize the machine gun squadron to retreat and establish a blocking position."

The Japanese soldiers on the other side of the road could no longer hold out. They could not set up mortars or machine guns. They could only rely on the Type 38 rifles in their hands to fight the enemy's fire. There was no hope at all. Some Japanese soldiers began to jump over the ditch to escape. They dared not enter the ditch, so it should be okay to jump over it, right? Fortunately, there were really no mines on the other side, otherwise they could only run to the sides of the road, which would be a life-and-death situation. No matter how fast they ran, how could they outrun the machine gun fire?

Phew~!

A blue flare was launched into the air, signaling retreat. The Japs that had already started running quickened their pace, and those who didn't run regretted running away. They didn't want anything anymore since they had already given the signal to retreat. Their lives were the most important thing. Groups of defeated soldiers jumped over the ditches under the gunfire and fled frantically in the wasteland.

After firing the signal flare, Political Commissar Li had already come back from behind the slope. Seeing the Japanese began to retreat, he felt a little anxious.

"Lao Yang, do you want to give chase?"

Yang Qingfeng let out a long sigh and took the cigarette handed to him by Captain Song. As soon as the Japanese started running, Captain Song retreated with his submachine gun, lit a cigarette for Yang Qingfeng and also lit one for himself. Yang Qingfeng took a puff, and the cigarette stimulated his lungs to contract.

"Captain Song, what do you think? Should we chase them or not?"

"Captain Yang, I don't recommend chasing them. The Japanese army did retreat, but they did so after the blue signal flares were fired. There are no trenches to hide in when we pursue them, and the odds will be 50-50 if we fight with guns. We will not fight a 50-50 fight unless it is necessary."

"Old Li, did you hear that? Even though the Japs are in such a mess, I dare say they will definitely take steps to cover themselves. Even if the Japs retreating on the road did not do so, the ones behind them will definitely do so. Now that the Japs' artillery has stopped moving, they will set up machine gun positions on the retreat route if nothing unexpected happens."

"Okay, Lao Yang, stop showing off and hurry up to clean up the battlefield! There have been heavy casualties on the three defense lines in the south. I'll go over there to take a look first."

Political Commissar Li left in a hurry, and Captain Song smoked half of his cigarette in one gulp.

"Captain Yang, I am grateful for your kindness. The captain has instructed before that no matter how the battle goes, we will not participate in the distribution of spoils. There are many wounded, so I will go and deal with them first. You can clean up the battlefield yourselves!"

Yang Qingfeng knew that they were rich and might not appreciate the Japanese's stuff, but he appreciated it! If nothing unexpected happened, the weapons and equipment left on the road would be enough to develop a regiment. Yang Qingfeng said happily:

"You guys take care of your own things. We have more people. Leave these trivial matters to me."

The company commanders of the two guard regiments immediately counted the casualties. Among the more than 200 people in the team, 32 were killed, 16 were seriously injured, and more than 50 were slightly injured, almost an entire company was killed or wounded. The heaviest casualties were the machine gunners and rocket soldiers on the southern hillside. A platoon of machine gunners and ten rocket teams suffered three-quarters of casualties. These were all caused by the Japanese mortars. Machine gunners have always been the focus of mortars, and now rocket soldiers have been added.
