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

Only seven bombers were used to bomb the artillery position. The chain reaction was too terrible, so there was no need to add icing on the cake. Three planes loaded with bombs turned to the Zhongxing mining area.

A team of several thousand people was organizing support. Gasoline and coal were tied to mules and horses. The team was about to set off, but they were greeted by a visit from bombers.

Three bombers dived down amid intensive machine gun fire. The first plane dropped its bomb after its wing caught fire. After rising high, it made a big turn and flew towards Xiong'er Mountain. Then two planes dropped their bombs.

After the violent explosion, the gasoline was ignited. The team of more than 3,000 people had no time to disperse and were soaked by the exploded gasoline. A fire broke out and the Japanese army's support team started a barbecue feast.

call out!

A signal flare was launched into the air, and members of the two battalions of the Guards Regiment came out of the trenches and rushed towards the enemy's position with submachine guns.

The damaged plane was Howard's plane. Seeing that it could not return to Mengshan Airport, it glided for a while in the direction where the flare was rising. The plane faced the top of the mountain and Howard parachuted.

The two planes circled around the place where Howard parachuted for a while, and when they saw the team going up to pick them up, they turned northeast and flew towards Mount Mengshan.

Howard fell into the snowdrift and was trying hard to cut the parachute rope. He was a little distressed when he saw the plane burning violently after the explosion. Although his salary would not be deducted, he felt sorry for the people who had to work hard to clear the snow at the airport from dawn to dusk.

Looking at the crowd surrounding him, Howard took out his pistol and looked alert. Judging from their clothes, they didn't look like Japanese invaders. This should be a safe zone, but one should still remain vigilant.

"Nong, ning, ning, hey~ Tegaize."

The captain of the Lunan detachment knew a few words of English and tried to communicate with the pilots, making sure not to cause any misunderstandings, otherwise he would have trouble explaining to anyone.

Howard was confused. Together? What the hell? Could they be the devil's men?

"Can you speak Chinese?"

The captain of the detachment on the opposite side looked embarrassed and said he knew Chinese earlier! This made the soldiers next to him almost unable to hold back their laughter.

"Mr. Pilot, we are Leng Qiang's friendly forces and are cooperating with Leng Qiang's team in the battle. Do you understand what I mean?"

Howard finished cutting the rope and stamped his numb feet.

"I understand, I understand. Can you take me to see Leng Qiang? I want to apologize to him in person for losing a precious plane."

Here Howard followed the team to find Chen Feng. Chen Feng was watching the attack of the two battalions, which was going very smoothly. After a bombing and explosion, the Japanese seemed to have suffered heavy losses and few of them paid attention to the attack from the north.

After a round of artillery bombardment, explosions occurred everywhere on the Japanese positions. When the soldiers of the Guard Regiment rushed to within two hundred meters of the Japanese positions, only sporadic gunfire could be heard on the positions.

Submachine guns fired a barrage of bullets, and the soldiers rushed to the position in two minutes on the snow and over the hillside. The soldiers of the two battalions were stunned by the scene on the other side of the mountain.

There were no artillery positions as imagined on the sunny hillside, nor were there any Japanese military camps as imagined. In the thick snow below the hillside, groups of Japs were struggling in their snow nests, and some gun barrels stubbornly popped their heads out, as if to prove that they were here.

"Keep some distance and go ahead."

The soldiers of the two battalions spread out in a skirmish line, sliding down instead of up along the snow, and opening fire when they were within the firing range. Most of the remaining Japanese troops had lost their guns, and faced with the relentless firepower attack, they could only dive back into the snow.

The task of the two battalions was to clear the remaining artillery and Japanese soldiers. The artillery could not be cleared as they were all buried in the snow. Although the Japanese soldiers on the snow surface were killed, there must be some more in the snow piles.

After emptying several magazines, blood splattered in the snow. After a few rounds of grenades were thrown, the soldiers from the two battalions turned around gracefully.

After returning to the shady slope, they sent out flag signals to their position, and the artillery began to advance here. More than one hundred sixty-mm rifles and more than three hundred artillerymen first slid down the slope of their position and climbed towards this side with difficulty. Fortunately, the slope was not steep and they could get up in a few minutes by walking on the thick snow.

Japanese reinforcements appeared in the distance, rushing towards this side densely. Fujita Susumu finally chose to rescue. There were still more than a thousand infantry and artillery soldiers from the two regiments. Even if the losses were heavy, how could they still have half of the troops left!

Seeing the soldiers in the snow being slaughtered, Fujita was filled with anger. It was so aggrieved. Only ten bombers caused too much damage! It was all because of the damn snow.

After the anger, Fujita felt a deep fear. The artillery was gone. The mountain artillery and field artillery had been deployed. There were still some indirect-fire artillery in the mining area, but these indirect-fire artillery were no match for the Yimeng guerrillas. There were no artillery nearby. Because of the heavy losses in the last bombardment, the artillery of the garrisons in the surrounding cities had been pulled in. If they wanted artillery support, they could only transport it from farther away by rail. The key was that the railways had been blown up! The railway was transferred to the road, and the road was blocked by heavy snow. I don’t know how many days it will take.

The Japanese rescue team moved very quickly, all of them equipped lightly. Even though the snow made it difficult to walk, they reached the foot of the mountain in less than an hour. Half of the soldiers raised their guns and looked up, alert to the Yimeng guerrillas on the position above, while the other half launched a rescue operation. Many wounded soldiers emerged from the snow, shivering when they came up. Some of those who were not injured had lost their combat effectiveness and retreated tremblingly with the help of the rescue team.

Seeing that the snow piles had been almost cleared away and some soldiers were checking the remaining artillery, the commander of the special operations battalion of the guard regiment fired a signal flare.

All in! All in!

More than a hundred 60mm guns opened fire, twenty rounds at high speed, hitting the snow slope at the bottom of the mountain.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The Japanese reinforcements and the devils who came out of the snow piles were killed and wounded again. The alert Japanese soldiers raised their guns and fired frantically, but they were out of range and not a single bullet could hit them.

Originally wanted to fire one more round, but seeing that many Japs were still aiming their guns, the commander of the special operations battalion decisively ordered a retreat. The positions on this hillside were all made of stones wrapped in burlap, which did not meet the defense requirements of the guard regiment. There would be a big operation tonight, so there was no need to stay here.

The Japanese army gave up on the rescue. Even if they dug out anything from below, they would probably find only corpses. The previous round of shelling had caused great casualties, and more than one-third of the reinforcements who came were killed or wounded. Fearing further shelling, the Japanese army did not dare to stay, and evacuated to the mining area, carrying the seriously wounded and supporting the lightly wounded.

"Cold! Amusuri, I'm very sorry, I messed up this time."

When Howard saw Chen Feng, he started to apologize.

Chen Feng held Howard's shoulder.

"The plane is not important, as long as people are safe. You have achieved significant results. Have a good rest. I will have a drink with you in the evening."

"Captain Yang, I'm sorry to trouble you to deliver it personally. Please sit down and have a cup of hot tea."
