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

It was already early in the morning when Wang Mingzhang received the top-secret order from the military. The order was issued by the theater headquarters. When he saw the content of the order, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Putting aside the fact that the Lone Wolf Commando blew up an important artillery warehouse, the mere news that the Japanese artillery shells were transported up meant the lives of thousands of people. Regardless of his sleepiness, he personally called each regiment on the front line and told the commanders to prepare for artillery defense. As long as they could hold on until tomorrow morning, the Japanese artillery shells would be scarce. Wang Mingzhang did not reveal any other news. The news from the Lone Wolf Commando was only allowed to be passed on to division-level units, and no more than two people in each unit could know the news. In addition to the translators and the main officers, anyone who leaked the news would be held accountable.

We know that this is to protect the Lone Wolf Commando, but the results achieved by the commandos in several attacks are indeed worthy of attention.

On March 14, 1938, the Central Daily News was sold out in all regions. The Chinese people were extremely excited after reading the content. Those who did not buy the newspaper asked around for information, and those who bought the newspaper were not selfish and read the contents of the newspaper in crowded places. The newspaper used up an entire page to print the bodies of Yaezao Akashiba and nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers, and another entire page to print the battle results of the Lone Wolf Commando and the 772nd Regiment. Looking at the Japanese major general and the piles of Japanese corpses, the Chinese people felt extremely excited. When they saw the newspaper, they remembered the plain text telegram sent by the commando called Lengqiang. It turned out that what he said before was true. Many people found the content of the telegram and compared it with the newspaper. They were very surprised to see that the Lone Wolf Commando was just a civilian organization. If it had not been for the Central Daily News to report it this way, they would never have believed that a seven-member armed organization could achieve such brilliant results.

The entire Kuomintang-controlled area was once again swept by an anti-Japanese fervor. They saw hope in fighting the Japanese invaders from a small team. Donators of money and materials emerged in an endless stream. On the streets of Wuhan, an old soldier just donated five dollars, which was the reward he received after being injured while fearlessly killing the enemy. The student in charge of statistics was deeply moved when he saw the old soldier leaning on a crutch with one of his trouser legs empty. Such things were happening all over the country, and the anti-Japanese atmosphere was very intense.

Zhang Xuanwu was also promoted, and the 772nd Regiment became the 364th Brigade. All personnel and equipment were replenished on-site by the Fifth War Zone to continue guarding the Longshan frontier.

At daybreak, on the battlefield of Jiehe River to the north of Teng County, the Japanese launched a tentative attack. After a loud thunder and little rain, they retreated. The Sichuan Army positions, which had exposed all their firepower points, fell silent in an instant. Some frontline officers and soldiers hid in the ear holes of the trenches, and the rest quickly evacuated along the communication trenches when they saw that the Japanese were about to retreat. Within a minute, the artillery opened fire, including howitzers, Type 92 guns, and even tank turrets. Countless shells poured onto the frontline positions of the Sichuan Army. Except for the soldiers hiding in the frontline trenches who were trembling, the rest of the troops hid in the trenches that were newly dug last night, 200 meters behind. The officers and soldiers were very grateful. If it were not for the order from their superiors, they would probably be in the frontline trenches at this time, with countless casualties.

After the bombardment, the Japanese launched another charge. The moment the Japanese artillery shells stopped, the Sichuan Army returned to their positions along the communication trenches. Seeing that many positions had been flattened, they couldn't help but feel scared.

The Japanese commander saw that the troops were about to rush up and the gunfire from the Kuomintang positions was sparse. He thought that artillery was more useful and that a round of intensive artillery fire would destroy all the positions! When the Japanese were 50 meters away from the front trench, the commander put down the telescope and thought that he could consider attacking the second line of defense while the fleeing soldiers were still unstable.

Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire on the battlefield. Countless Sichuan troops showed their heads from the three-layer trenches and fired endlessly at the Japanese soldiers in front of them. If they advanced another 20 meters, they would be able to throw grenades into the trenches!

The Japanese sergeant who led the charge was somewhat desperate. He shouted "Ban Cai" loudly and raised his command knife to order the team to advance another 20 meters. However, he never expected that these 20 meters became an insurmountable red line. The Sichuan Army received a whole army's worth of equipment and ammunition, and it was an army without any discount. Now the ammunition on the position was abundant. Even if Tang Enbo's direct army had obsolete weapons and ammunition, it could match the combined ammunition of two Sichuan Army armies.

Seeing the Japanese fleeing in panic, the Sichuan Army retreated quickly and secretly, this time even leaving only a few observation posts. Sure enough, before the Sichuan Army had finished withdrawing, the Japanese artillery shells came again. The power of the 150mm howitzer was quite shocking, and a few shells could destroy a large area of ​​trenches. At this time, those who were hiding in the trenches, except for those who were directly killed, there were also those who were shaken by the shock wave and had no visible injuries. Those who died suddenly after a while were those who had internal injuries caused by the shock and had problems with their internal organs.

The shelling was not over yet, it was just a little sparse, so the commander led the team into the communication trench, dodging the artillery fire and moving to their respective positions. Sure enough, this time the Japanese came up with artillery shells, and the soldiers opened fire quickly after they were in position. The Japanese grenades could even reach the front trench, giving them countless hopes, but in the end they failed.

The morning's attack was over. In the afternoon, the sound of artillery fire on the entire front became sparse. There was no longer the shock of thousands of artillery fire in the morning. The Japanese charge was also half-dead. Often when they saw no hope, they had to lie on the ground and shoot at the Sichuan Army. Although they caused some casualties to the Sichuan Army with their accurate shooting, they had no trenches to hide in, and their own casualties were even greater. With still an hour before dark, all the attacking forces stopped.

Wang Mingzhang has been sitting in front of the phone. Although he is a little worried, his whole body is like a sword, straight and sharp. The front-line troops have already received the news. If the front line is still broken, there is nothing to say. The phone rang one after another, all with good news. The commanders of the front-line garrison regiments were very excited. They defeated the Japanese's charges several times in one day and killed countless Japanese. The casualties of the Sichuan Army were not heavy, much better than in the previous days.

After answering the phone, Wang Mingzhang did not stand up immediately. Instead, he thought about the importance of special warfare. Even if no casualties were caused to the Japanese, just the news would be a huge profit. He ordered the three newly formed special warfare teams to stop training and go to the front line immediately. They did not need to blow up munitions or military camps, nor did they need to harass the Japanese. They should all gather information in secret. If there was any news, they could directly tell the nearest frontier troops. The frontier troops would respond and report back to the division headquarters quickly. The division headquarters would summarize and convey the news downwards, and the special warfare teams would take the order and leave. The elites of the division headquarters' special forces company and various units were already excited when they knew the results of the Lone Wolf Commando.

The commandos rested for a whole day, eating well, sleeping soundly, and felt that they had returned to a happy life in peacetime. However, the team members knew that this was only temporary peace, as the Japanese were at their doorstep, and they might never again have such a peaceful life.
