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

At daybreak, the eastern section of the Longhai Line returned to peace, but the tattered railway line and the devastated port proved the unrest of last night. The 116th Division of the Japanese Army began to enter various counties and strongholds in batches. The division commander ordered that the losses must be counted and reported to the Central China Expeditionary Army Headquarters before 10 a.m.

At the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, Bin Shanyuan was relieved when he heard the news. As long as they didn't attack the Jinpu Line, it would be fine. There is an old Chinese saying that it is better to kill a friend than to kill the poor. They attacked the Longhai Line. This meant that the cold gun could not do anything to the Jinpu Line for a while, which was good news.

Bin Shanyuan found it funny when he thought of Anan Weiji's telegram last night. Although the message was simple and vague, Bin Shanyuan understood it. The cold gun was a pest in your defense area. You were incompetent and let him out to harm the Longhai Line, so you must take responsibility.

It's funny but also a bit helpless. The Yimeng guerrillas have grown stronger now. They were able to attack Qingdao City, which means they are strong in both men and horses. There is also a New Fourth Division that has grown up with them. They are no longer the Kuomintang army that fled at the sight of the enemy. Their weapons and equipment are more powerful than the best division of the Imperial Army. There is also the Lunan Detachment. Their presence is always there. The artillery of a guerrilla detachment is more powerful than that of a Type A division of the Imperial Army. Who would believe it if they told others about it? The grudge has become a serious concern. Even if they want to wipe it out now, they can't be absolutely sure of it with just three or two divisions.

The convoy was hidden after daybreak. The weather was clear. Once targeted by Japanese planes, the food would be gone. The team separated after daybreak. The teams of the second and third regiments had returned to their bases. The two battalions of the independent regiment were heading back to Mengshan as companies. Chen Feng led several team members into Linyi. The last time they came was to rescue the new recruits of the new recruit company! They seized a lot of spoils, and finally relied on the labor puppet army to help move them back.

The Japs were driven away, and life in Linyi city was obviously not so tense anymore. The streets were bustling with people, the winter was quiet, and the morning market was bustling. When Wu Tianxiang learned that the captain had arrived, he was worried about what might happen, so he sent a platoon of special operations platoon members to dress up and stand guard, accompanying the captain to experience the Linyi specialty, braised tofu pudding.

It has been a long time since I had a good chat with the captain. Either the war was intense or he was in a hurry to reminisce. Wu Tianxiang rarely made a joke.

"Captain, why are you always staring at the boss lady? We have no shortage of beautiful women here."

Chen Feng retracted his gaze, and after sitting down, he felt that the proprietress looked familiar. After careful recollection, he remembered that the bandit Lin Guangqing who wiped out the Daqing Mountain two years ago let go of several poor women and asked Zhang Liang to send a caravan to take them to Linyi City. At that time, a woman begged Lin Guangqing to return her child to her heartbreakingly. If he was not mistaken, it was the proprietress carrying the child.

The boss had a disability in his legs and walked with a limp, but he looked very honest. He served tofu pudding to customers with a silly smile, and washed dishes with water in the wooden barrel when he was free. The stall was very clean. The proprietress carried her child on her back and greeted customers with a happy smile on her face. Chen Feng felt a little sad. The woman who could not survive at that time has now started a family and a career. In a moment, he felt that he had done a good thing. He didn't know how the other women were doing. They took some money when they left, and as long as they live carefully, they should not be too bad.

The boss's wife also noticed Chen Feng, but she didn't dare to recognize him. A trace of pain flashed across her face. However, when she heard the child crying on her back, she immediately forgot everything, untied the child, found a corner and started to feed him. She looked at Chen Feng from time to time, and looked at her husband several times, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"I'm full, let's go"!

Wu Tianxiang threw down a dollar. It was rare for a man to spend dollars on tofu pudding. Just as he was holding the money box to change the money, Wu Tianxiang waved his hand and left with Chen Feng.

"Zheng Quezi, that young man was staring at your wife just now, you'd better be careful"!

Zheng Quezi looked at his wife who was breastfeeding in the corner and chuckled foolishly.

"Wang Mazi, stop talking nonsense. The young man is fair and tender, and you can tell at first glance that he is the son of a wealthy family. The one who gave the money looks like a follower. The son of a wealthy family has taken a fancy to my breastfeeding woman. Your heart is just like your face, full of bad ideas."

"Hey, you cripple, don't disbelieve me. Let's see if they come tomorrow morning. If they come, you'd better be careful. If they don't come, just treat it as a fart."

Zheng Quezi watched the woman who was feeding the baby come over. Although she was not very pretty, her face was white and smooth, her figure was slender and graceful, and her breasts were bulging from breastfeeding. Would the young man really like her? Zheng Quezi was cautious and decided to see if the young man would come to eat tofu pudding again tomorrow morning.

When the woman saw Chen Feng and the other man finish their meal and leave, she felt a little relieved, but also a little lost. Her benefactor recognized her, but she had no way to recognize him, nor could she repay him. Her identity was that of a woman who fled from famine after her husband died. If she let it slip, the man would not care. Now that he was gone, they might never see each other again. She didn't know what he was doing now, but he must be someone doing great things.

Chen Feng strolled around Linyi City for a day. He hadn't experienced the atmosphere of city life for a long time, so everything he saw seemed new. The Second Regiment stationed a battalion of troops in Linyi City. Leaving Linyi from Fei County was considered entering a big city, but the garrison had little interaction with the people, and they did not get involved in the city's management affairs. It can be said that Linyi is a state of anarchy and lack of institutions. Even so, life in the city is well organized, with few street hooligans and few bullies who bully others into doing whatever they want.

"Old Wu, you manage it well! It's not easy for people to live and work in peace in a state of anarchy."

"Captain, we don't have much management, but no matter where bandits, bullies and hooligans appear, we will deal with them immediately. Over time, no one dares to show up, and the market will naturally be peaceful."

"It's not a bad idea to use severe punishments in troubled times. In fact, the people don't demand much. As long as they can have food to eat, as long as there are no endless exorbitant taxes, as long as they are not bullied by ruffians, gangsters, and bullies, that's a good life."

"By the way, Captain, people from the Lunan Detachment have come to Linyi. They keep shouting about fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land. Some landlords are a little worried, but they dare not send troops here. I am worried that they will send troops here after a long time. What should we do then?"

Chen Feng had a headache. This was really difficult to deal with.

"Let's see what happens! We should put the overall situation of anti-Japanese war first. We should establish more connections with the landlords and rich people. If we have extra arms, we can exchange them for food. Even though these landlords and rich people are very afraid of death, if the Japanese really attack again, they have guns and might dare to organize militia to protect their property."

"Also, remember to check. The Japanese army has been in Linyi City for some time. Have you seen anyone who took the opportunity to join the Japanese and oppress the people? Such people must not be let off. Those who should be seized should be seized, and those who should be killed should be killed. Our strategy for dealing with traitors remains unchanged. Don't have any illusions about these people."
