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

On March 3, the land in the north thawed. Shen Honglie visited Mengshan and discussed with Chen Feng the possible offensive launched by the Japanese army. The Japanese army had not made any move yet. Shen Honglie could not help it. Nine thousand recruits had been trained for a whole winter and had only participated in a transportation to Lianyungang. Old Shen wanted to train the soldiers in actual combat.

"Brother, the construction of the eastern section of the Longhai Line has started. How is it going? Do you want to do something about it? My several new recruits have become a little slack after training all day long. I want to take them to experience the cruelty of actual combat."

"You can do it! But you can't do it in a group. For the purpose of training troops, you can practice long-distance raids as a regiment. The Japanese army may make a big move one day, so you must be on guard. You must also notify the troops below to be vigilant. The Japanese have suffered so much, I don't believe they won't make any move this spring."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunyan ran over in a hurry.

"Captain, urgent message from the Third Regiment."

Chen Feng took the telegram and stood up after reading the content.

The Japanese 1st Division raided Arashiyama under the cover of naval guns. The 2nd Battalion had already withdrawn from Arashiyama and was setting up defensive positions along the mountain line.

The First Division? Isn't that the imperial guard of the old devil? You gave up your hometown just for a place called Arashiyama?

The guard company commander of the New Fourth Division suddenly ran up from the foot of the mountain.

"Division Commander, the Second Regiment sent an urgent message. The First Division of the Japanese Army has landed on the coast of Shijiu. The artillery fire is too fierce. Regiment Commander Qu has led the troops to retreat and is preparing to launch a blocking attack on the Xiaohuangshan line."

Before Shen Honglie could react, Chen Feng directly gave orders to the guard company commander.

"Send a telegram to Qu Zexin, abandon Xiaohuangshan and retreat quickly, return to Longmengou to deploy defenses, quickly."

The guard captain glanced at Shen Honglie, who angrily yelled:

"Why are you hesitating? Captain Leng Qiang's orders are my orders. Hurry up. If the Second Regiment is bombed by the naval guns, I will shoot you."

The guard company commander even forgot to salute and ran down the mountain in a panic. The radios were on the trucks at the foot of the mountain and he didn't dare to delay.

"Brother, are you worried about the Japanese naval guns?"

"Xiaohuangshan is only ten kilometers away from the seaside and is completely within the range of naval guns. If we set up a defense line there, no matter how many troops we have, they will not be enough to serve as cannon fodder."

Shen Honglie was a little anxious.

"What should we do then? We have to give up this passage?"

Chen Feng's brain was working at high speed. There was the First Division in Shijiu Lanshan, the 116th Division in Lianyungang, half a division in Qingdao, and almost one division on the Jinpu Line. It was not enough!

"Brother Shen, do you know the origin of the First Division?"

Shen Honglie suddenly realized:

"The Imperial Guards Division, has that old devil Hirohito sent his Imperial Guards? Is he going to start a siege?"

"It shouldn't happen. There is no information about troop deployment from other places. There is only half a division in Qingdao. At most half of the troops on the Jinpu Line can be mobilized. Transportation on the Longhai East Line also needs to be restored. At most half a division can be mobilized. Two divisions are encircling us. They know it is impossible but still do it. The Japanese are not that stupid."

"Why is that? The Japanese even sent the Emperor's Guards."

"As expected, our sea route has been exposed, and the Japanese want to block our weapons imports."

Shen Honglie breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette and threw it to Chen Feng, then lit it up and blew out a smoke ring.

"Then there's nothing to worry about. I'll notify the 1st and 3rd Regiments to retreat in case the Japanese invaders approach from the west. Leave the seaside to them. Once they calm down, it will be a good opportunity for training."

"That's right. We can't let them invade westwards recklessly. Send more small troops to harass them and try to avoid the range of the ship's guns. It's very dangerous this time. Fortunately, they didn't understand the deployment of your Second Regiment, otherwise the news just now would have been bad news."

Shen Honglie had been a naval commander, so he certainly knew the power of naval guns. He sighed when he heard this.

"This is my second regiment commander! I have to admit that there is still a big gap between him and your fierce general. He came from the Marine Corps, but he chose Xiaohuangshan to deploy defenses. What was he thinking? Is he out of his mind?"

When it comes to the internal issues of the New Fourth Division, Chen Feng is reluctant to say much. Huang Shanhe handled Liu very well. He evacuated the dangerous area in time and chose to deploy defenses on the mountain line beyond the range of the ship's artillery. This response was impeccable.

The sea outlet was blocked, but Chen Feng was not worried. It was a matter of time. He had no shortage of arms and all the necessary equipment had been delivered. The Japanese army was still a step slow in reacting. If it had been blocked two months earlier, he would have been in trouble.

"Brother, what exactly are the Jinpu Line thinking? Chongqing has sent me some inquiries. Please give me some information and send them off again."

There is nothing to hide from Shen Honglie, but the same cannot be said about Chongqing. If the news gets passed on, it might be exposed one day.

"Do you know where the Second Battalion of my First Regiment went?"

"Taishan Mountains, what's wrong?"

"Not only the Taishan Mountains, but also the mountainous areas in southern Jinan are under control. My requirement is to expand the team to 2,000 people so that they can paralyze the Jinpu Line from Jinan to Taishan at any time if necessary."

Shen Honglie gave a thumbs up. It was impossible not to admire this layout and vision.

"Then how should I report it? Just tell them directly that it is inappropriate."

"Tell them that once the Japanese army launches a spring offensive, no matter where they attack, we can paralyze the Jinpu Line in one day. But it's not possible now. Even if we poke a hornet's nest, the Japanese army will still come to encircle and suppress us at all costs."

Shen Honglie nodded. It was good to have an explanation. Such questions were annoying. If you wanted to ask them, just ask them yourself. The communication team had been sent. Was it too embarrassing to ask for such a thing? He had to use up his favors himself.

"Okay, we won't have lunch here. I'll go back and make some arrangements and give Chongqing a reply. I also have to remind the several regiments that have gone down the mountain. There hasn't been much fighting this winter, and they seem a little slack."

Shen Honglie went down the mountain, and Chen Feng came to the communication room. Li Yunyan and Song Zihan were eating oranges. In order to cultivate Penicillium, Mengshan imported a large amount of oranges. You can eat the orange segments as you like, but don't throw away the orange peels.

"Send a telegram to the Third Regiment, asking them to hand over the defense of the south to the Second Regiment, and march eastward out of Junan to stop the Japanese army from advancing westward. If they have any intention of doing so, we will defeat them immediately."

"Send a signal to the Second Regiment to fill the vacancy left by the Third Regiment. Focus on defending against the Japanese troops on the eastern line of Longhai. Continuously harass them and don't let them get too comfortable."

"Send a telegram to the Guard Regiment and the 1st Regiment, asking them to keep a close eye on the Japanese troops on the Jinpu Line. If they are spotted showing up, strike them immediately without asking for permission. We cannot let them step beyond the Longhai Line."

"Send a telegram to the Second Battalion of the First Regiment, asking them to be ready to launch an attack at any time. Once the order arrives, the Jinpu Line must be paralyzed within one day. The masses can be mobilized if necessary."

The two men began to get busy. Each regiment had a dedicated communication radio station, and the two men were only responsible for writing the telegrams and handing them over.

Chen Feng peeled an orange, it was so sour, he didn't want to waste it, so he gave it to Song Zihan who liked sour food.

"Say hello to Chongqing. The seaport has been blocked, so there is no need to write off weapons. From now on, all medicines must be traded with cash, preferably gold bars."

"Yes"!
