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

"Prodigal son, can the food be blown up? Wu Tianxiang and Lu Feihu".

"arrive"!

"The food here has been given to the New Fourth Division. You take the convoy to the East Station and load as much as you can. If you can't load it all, let the special forces mobilize the people and tell them that food is being distributed. Take as much as you can. The convoy will leave after loading. You can wait until the food is distributed before detonating."

"Yes"!

"Self-respect".

"arrive".

"The food here is given to you. You can transport as much as you can. If you can't transport all of it, you have to mobilize the people. Don't let the Japanese get it for free, and don't waste it. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, instructor. I'll ask the statisticians to calculate how much can be transported. The result will be out in ten minutes. If it can't be transported, we will immediately mobilize the people to help."

"Retreat after loading. When the cavalry arrives, each horse can carry at most one bag."

"Let's go to the East Station."

The Yimeng guerrillas dispatched 240 trucks, each of which could carry up to 10 tons. 2,400 tons of food, based on 10,000 people, 2 kilograms of food per person per day, could last for 240 days. The key point was that the troops going down the mountain did not need food from Mengshan! If the troops could not even grab food, they would be laughed at by other groups. There were more than 3,000 people on Mengshan, so this food would be enough for more than two years!

After the First Battle of Changsha, Anami Korechika had returned to Nanjing. At 8:20 p.m., the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters received a series of farewell telegrams from the Haizhou City Cavalry Regiment, the Haizhou Port and the East Station Infantry Regiment. Anami Korechika instantly determined the situation. It must have been a cold gun. He was afraid and hated the cold gun. Wasn't the Jinpu Line and Qingdao enough for you? You still want to torture me in Haizhou.

Anan Weiji didn't know that Chen Feng's plan was to destroy the Longhai East Line, and he couldn't understand why Chen Feng attacked Haizhou.

"Order the Fourth Fleet to head north immediately upon receiving the news and head straight for Lianyungang."

"Immediately order the 116th Division to rush to Lianyungang from Huai'an immediately, wait for the arrival of the Fourth Fleet, and work together to retake Lianyungang and eliminate all invading enemies."

It would be impossible to rely on the 116th Division alone, as it had already lost two regiments. The firepower of the Yimeng guerrillas was terrifyingly strong, and they would most likely be defeated if they went there. But it would be different with the Fourth Fleet. Lianyungang was close to the sea, and any resistance would be turned into powder wherever the naval guns were pointed.

Anami Korechika and the staff discussed for a long time and decided to inform the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters. Don't you have any responsibility for being so reckless? You can't attack them, and you can't contain them? When did the Imperial Japanese Army fall into such a situation?

"Send a telegram to General Bin Shanyuan of the North China Expeditionary Army Command, the main force of the Yimeng guerrillas is attacking and destroying Lianyungang."

Seeing that the signalman was still waiting for the record, Anami Korechika waved his hand:

"Just send it like this."

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the convoy began to evacuate and the people were also mobilized. When they heard that there was food to be taken, adults and children came out. The adults pushed the carts and the children put the food in baskets. The guerrillas reminded loudly that when the food was transported back, they must not hide it at home. When the Japanese came, they would probably search every house. The people should bury the food outside and wait until the famine came in the spring to digest it slowly.

The last convoy evacuated, and Chen Feng and the soldiers of the independent regiment had to walk. Not only the independent regiment, but also the second and third regiments had to walk back to the base.

Seeing that it would take at least several hours for the people to move all the food, Chen Feng left a special operations company from the Third Regiment to carry out the blasting, and the rest of the troops returned along the same route.

The sooner the team leaves, the safer it will be. After arranging the retreat and blasting, Chen Feng was worried about Haizhou Station, so he rode straight to Haizhou City with a few soldiers. After passing through layers of security, Chen Feng met Shen Zizhong who was directing the people to carry food.

"How is it? Did the convoy evacuate?"

"Instructor, the convoy has withdrawn, the two regiments of new recruits have also withdrawn, and the people are moving food. We can only wait until they have finished moving before we can carry out the blasting."

"By the way, how is the damage to the railway line?"

Shen Zizhong looked excited:

"Instructor, two regiments of new recruits carried half of the explosives on Menglianggu Mountain on horses. The railway line has been completely destroyed. Big holes have been blown out of the railway bridge and important sections of the road. The ground is about to freeze. The Japanese will never recover before the New Year."

"Leave a special operations company to do the blasting! The sooner the team retreats, the safer it will be. No matter where we go tomorrow morning, we must be careful of bombing by Japanese planes."

Xinyi City and Donghai City were also captured by the battalions of the Second and Third Regiments. They looted a lot, destroyed the railway line and then withdrew. The two battalions of the Lunan Detachment and the Guard Regiment waited in vain. The Japanese troops stationed in Xuzhou had no intention of providing support. Their mission was to guard the Jinpu Line. If there was a problem with the Jinpu Line, they would be executed by dissection. If there was a problem somewhere else, who knew if it was a conspiracy or trick? That guy never took the usual path. Maybe he wanted to lure the garrison when he saw that the rebuilt Jinpu Line had no way to start.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, seeing that there was no intention of supporting from the Xuzhou direction, Lin Chuan communicated with the captain and, together with the Lunan Detachment, they captured Pizhou City and destroyed the twenty-kilometer railway line on both sides of Pizhou City. They also brought back some spoils of war so as not to return empty-handed.

Overnight, the Longhai East Line and Haizhou City were paralyzed. At three o'clock in the morning, the Central China Expeditionary Force received a telegram from the 116th Division. The cold guns were not only aimed at Haizhou City, but all the garrisons on the Longhai East Line had "disappeared".

Anami Korechika stayed up all night. He was furious when he heard the news. It was disgusting. They had already built the Jinpu Line, and now they were building the Longhai Line? What did the Longhai Line hinder you from doing? It was a headache. At this moment, Anami Korechika was even a little impulsive. He joined forces with the North China Expeditionary Force and mobilized 200,000 troops to eliminate the cold gun first.

At 4:30 in the morning, the 116th Division arrived at the outskirts of Haizhou. Fearing that the sniper team was still in the city, they did not dare to enter the city. They forced a company of puppet troops to enter the city to test the waters. The Japanese army urgently built positions outside the city.

The puppet army company cursed the wicked Japs as they cautiously entered Haizhou City, whispering about turning against them if they were attacked. Anyway, Lengqiang had a precedent of taking on the Imperial Army, so they didn't need another company. After entering the city, they found it dead silent, and they were not attacked until they reached the train station.

An hour later, the Japanese army entered the city. The area around the station was full of corpses, both human and horse. The warehouses were empty except for some kaolin and copper and iron ore. There was food scattered on the ground in more than a dozen warehouses, and it seemed that all the food had been moved away.

"General, a large number of wheel tracks were found in the north direction of the city."

The commander of the 116th Division, Shinohara Seiichirō, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seemed that the cold gun team had just run out of food, so they came to rob food and then retreated. However, they could just rob food, but blowing up the railway and the port was a bit too much. Couldn't they develop peacefully?

"Colonel Okabe, have the three infantry battalions of your regiment search in the northwest, north and northeast directions of Ganyu respectively. Proceed with caution. Retreat immediately if you encounter an obstruction. Do not go beyond the borders of Jiangsu Province, not even a single step. Do you understand?"

"Hi"!
