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

All the actions of the Japanese army did not escape the eyes of the scouts of the Guard Regiment. The white cloth on their bodies could completely blend in with the snow. There were scouts lying on the high ground around the mining area.

After the information was summarized, Lin Chuan became a little impatient. The landmines were something he never expected. They were all caused by the New Fourth Division. No, the New Fourth Division also used the landmines given by the captain.

The captain is still sleeping. He had fun on the battlefield until the early morning last night, so he is going to sleep until dark! I can't trouble the captain for everything. I was exhausted after eating a bowl of red oil mutton soup with the soldiers. Now I feel like a little waste if I shout.

Lin Chuan was very excited. Isn't it just a minefield? Isn't it just a mine shaft with soldiers hidden? He was almost a tactical expert. He didn't believe that this matter would be difficult for him.

Lin Chuan worked from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., without even having time to eat lunch, and made a detailed battle plan.

The captain woke up, as if he had been awakened at the right time.

"Lin Chuan, have there been any changes in the mining area?"

Lin Chuan reported the situation in the mining area in detail, focusing on the mine arrays and soldiers hidden in the mines. As soon as he finished speaking, the captain gave the order.

"Send a telegram to the Lunan Detachment. Do not use mortars tonight. Mountain artillery and heavy artillery should move forward with enough shells to bomb the rat holes tonight."

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Seeing Lin Chuan stunned, Chen Feng asked in confusion.

"I have thought of a way to deal with the thunder array. In fact, we can use mortars."

"What to bomb? There are not many people in the mining area. Now that you mention it, I remember to bring thirty 60-mm fire guns and specifically bomb the Japanese defenders on the north side."

Lin Chuan finally realized, yes! What are the mortars bombing? The defenders in the mining area are sparse, that's not right! What are the heavy artillery and mountain artillery bombing?

"Captain, what are the heavy artillery and mountain cannons going to bomb? The Japanese are hiding in the mines."

"Didn't you say that the Japanese blew up the entrances and exits of the mines? We just aimed at the direction of the mine mouth and blew it continuously. All the mines have been bombed. If we collapse one, we will make money. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."

Lin Chuan ran away, and the shooting plan was left on the table. Chen Feng found it somewhat amusing after reading it. The plan was good and well thought out, but it was missing the point. He just wanted to inflict large-scale casualties on the Japanese devils. As for the sparse Japanese devils in the mining area, they were not worth wasting shells on.

Lin Chuan suddenly ran back and saw the captain looking at his plan. He scratched his head and felt embarrassed.

"The plan is very good and thoughtful, but the first thing we have to consider is our strategic goal. We are not trying to occupy the mining area, nor do we want to raze the mining area to the ground. What we want is large-scale casualties. Only by formulating the plan from the back to the front can we get the appropriate tactics."

"Captain, I understand. I will go and give the order."

At seven o'clock in the evening, the team set off. The special operations battalion of the first regiment went to deal with the artillery support of the Japanese, while the special operations battalion of the guard regiment and the special operations battalion of the second regiment jointly went forward to provide alert.

More than one hundred artillerymen followed the special operations battalion and built positions 1,200 meters outside the Japanese defense line. The two special operations battalions set up machine guns and rocket launchers. Their purpose was not to attack the Japanese defense line in the north, but to prevent the Japanese from rushing out to attack the artillery positions.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the heavy artillery and mountain artillery were in place, and the 1st Battalion of the Guard Regiment was also transferred down. Their mission was to defend the artillery positions and prevent the Japanese army from launching surprise attacks from other places.

Phew~!

A flare was launched into the air, and three calibers of guns opened fire at the same time.

All, all, all, all!

Thirty Type 60 rifles were lined up in a row, targeting half of the Japanese regiment stationed on the northern defense line. They fired thirty rounds at high speed. After that, they would wait for the barrel to cool down and await the next round of covering strikes.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The Japanese troops on the northern defense line still had no trenches to rely on, only some artillery craters that were blown up last night.

A mine array was set up in front of the northern defense line, and members of the two special operations battalions also aimed at the defense line, but did not open fire.

The first three shots from the mountain artillery, field artillery and heavy artillery were incendiary bombs. Some deceptive tents were set up in the mining area. After three rounds of explosions, the entire mining area was a sea of ​​fire.

The artillery determined the locations of several Japanese mine entrances and exits, and while modifying the shooting scales, they also replaced the explosive bombs.

Fujita Susumu and Nakayama Sadauchi, who were also hiding in the mine, were feeling somewhat proud at first, but when they saw that the shells were all coming towards them, they did not bother to check the situation at the mine entrance and dodged inside in panic.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The shells were getting more and more concentrated, and all the mine tunnels were dropping rocks and coal slag. The Japanese hiding inside were terrified. Why? Why only bomb the wellhead?

Behind the artillery position, Chen Feng put down the telescope. He couldn't run away. Fujita Jin really dug his own grave! Didn't he know that the mine had been blown up? It had been blown up from the inside. Some supporting points were not as strong as imagined. Otherwise, his heavy artillery and mountain artillery would not collapse, and even ordinary earthquakes would not collapse.

Although the Lunan Branch had no mission, Yang Qingfeng also came to join in the fun.

"Captain Leng Qiang, the Japanese are really hiding in the mine! If we send the team down and charge now, we should be able to break in, right?"

"I dare not conclude. After all, the mining area is pitch black after dark, and we can't say for sure whether the Japanese have moved out. It is impossible to charge, and it is absolutely impossible to charge tonight. There is a mine array outside the defense line. The Japanese army lacks artillery, but they are not short of light and heavy machine guns! The risk is too great. Even if there are one or two thousand troops in the mining area, we can't just break in."

Lin Chuan suddenly said:

"Captain, the Japanese seem to be digging the minefield they set up."

"Fire the blue flare."

Phew~!

A blue flare was launched into the air, and the two special operations battalions opened fire at the same time. Tonight they were equipped with large-caliber heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Dozens of machine guns were used, and the Japanese troops who were clearing the minefield were beaten to pieces.

The commander of the Japanese army was also very worried! The commander sent a message from the mine, saying that the enemy's artillery position must be attacked, otherwise the mine would be blown down.

They had to dig out the mines they had buried themselves, even if it meant tears. The troops on the ground in the mining area came to support them, set up machine guns and fired at the opposite side, but it was useless as they were out of range and the opposite side was completely unmoved.

Soldiers were forced to step over the mines with machine guns, and they went up with tears in their eyes. What a pig-brained commander! Why are you so unreliable?

"Board cutting"!

boom!

"Cut the board! Cut the board!"

boom! Boom boom boom!

The Japanese army had to pay a heavy price to break through the 100-meter-long minefield. At least they finished walking through the minefield and rushed out of the front line in a swarm. The direction of the artillery fire was several kilometers away, and there were dense machine gun positions a few hundred meters ahead. Could they really break out?

The damage caused by large-caliber machine guns was too great. The denser the Japs were, the more terrible the damage was. Wherever they hit, there were pieces of body parts. The Japanese army expanded a safe zone more than 200 meters wide. However, this area of ​​more than 200 meters wide became their lifelong nightmare.
