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

When we returned to Mengshan, there was already a jeep waiting at the airport, and Li Yunyan and Song Zihan were waiting in the car.

"What happened? How many casualties did the Second and Third Regiments suffer?"

"There were not many casualties. After the Second and Third Regiments consumed a wave of Japanese troops and detected the approach of Japanese artillery, they both voluntarily withdrew from the battle."

Fortunately, what Chen Feng was afraid of was that the two regiments would suffer casualties. In that case, in order to stop the Japanese army, troops would have to be transferred from other places, which would be too late. Once the Japanese army occupied Linyi City, the industrial park that had already formed a certain scale would suffer devastating damage.

"Record it and generate electricity immediately when we return to the mountain."

"Order the special operations battalion of the second regiment to block the Japanese troops advancing northward step by step. The remaining battalions return to the outskirts of Linyi and build positions on the Qilin Mountain line south of Yitang. They must hold out until dark. After dark, the second regiment will launch an attack at the same time as the independent regiment, using artillery strikes to inflict the greatest possible casualties on the Japanese troops."

"Order the Huangshanhe 3rd Regiment to get out of the artillery range of the Japanese naval guns, abandon the defense line from Junan to Pingshang and allow the Japanese army to advance, and focus on blocking the attack on Arashiyama."

"Send a telegram to the Lunan Detachment, the Second Regiment will focus on defending Linyi. The area west of Linyi to Xiong'er Mountain is completely defended by the Lunan Detachment. Make full use of the advantageous terrain to organize night attacks and artillery battles to kill as many Japanese troops as possible."

"Order the guard battalion Linchuan to hold Xiong'er Mountain. When there is a chance, join forces with the 1st regiment to bombard and cut off the railway line from Tengxian to Sishui."

"Order the Ningbo 1st Regiment to, in addition to joining forces with Linchuan to cut off the Jinpu Line, send the special operations battalion to capture Taishan City, completely destroy Taishan Railway Station, clear out all garrisons, and then head north to Liantai Mountain to support the attack of the Tiger Regiment."

"Order Zhang Liang of the Tiger Regiment to send a special operations battalion to infiltrate Jinan City. At night, launch an attack from both inside and outside the city. There is no specific target. They can burn, kill, loot and plunder as they please. Try to paralyze all the functional departments of the Japanese army in Jinan, seize and divide up all the Japanese property in Jinan, and blow up or burn those that cannot be divided up."

Li Yunyan and Song Zihan took notes separately. After the order was given, the jeep rushed to the foot of Guimeng Peak.

A radio had been prepared in the tent at the foot of the mountain, and Li Yunyan and Song Zihan ran into the tent.

"Captain, the independent regiment is ready and can set off at any time"!

"Flying Tiger, make arrangements. The troops stationed in key areas will not move. Two thousand new recruits will join the defense of key areas. The rest of the people will set off in half an hour to rush to Linyi City for emergency assistance."

There were positions built along the Qilin Mountain line south of Yitang. It was a backup line of defense to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Linyi, and it was also the last line of defense to guard the city of Linyi.

The three battalions of the Second Regiment have already withdrawn. The Japanese army is still more than fifty miles away from the Qilin Mountain defense line. The plain area is suitable for marching, and it is expected that they can launch an attack on the defense line before dark.

As the night fell, the Japanese army arrived as expected. In front of them was the rumbling of the tank column, and behind them was a dense forest of bayonets. The Second Regiment had already been fully prepared, and in the dimness of dusk, they lay quietly in the newly reorganized trenches waiting for the enemy to approach.

When the seven or eight Japanese tanks that had advanced came into range, the Second Regiment's large-caliber heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at the same time. The large-caliber mortars and the Type 60 mortars fired 20 rounds at high speed, hitting the Japanese formation behind the tanks.

Hundreds of fire lines swept across the tanks, and all of them were blown up in one round of shooting. Mortar shells rained down on the enemy group, and the Japanese were instantly thrown into disarray. They tried to fight back, but in the face of powerful firepower, everything was in vain. In just over ten minutes, the Japanese left hundreds of bodies and the wreckage of seven or eight tanks on the front line.

The plan to enter Linyi City before dark failed, and the Japanese army began to build positions in an area 1,500 meters away from the Qilin Mountain defense line.

Lu Feihu arrived with 3,000 reinforcements from the independent regiment. However, the 3,000 reinforcements did not join the position, but instead detoured from the west of Qilin Mountain to the Xiaocang Mountain and Shenshan Mountain in the south.

"Have you contacted Captain Wu?"

During the march, Lu Feihu kept urging the communicator, who was running and calling on the walkie-talkie.

"Captain, we've got the contact!"

Lu Feihu took the receiver and asked the signalman to stop moving so that he could communicate.

"I am Lu Feihu"!

Wu Tianxiang's voice came clearly from the receiver.

"I am Wu Tianxiang, Captain Lu, please speak."

"Our regiment has arrived at the south of Cheshan Mountain west of Qilin Mountain. The special operations battalion that has advanced forward has not yet engaged in combat. Please report the detailed situation of the Japanese troops on the opposite side."

"Army Regiment, according to the reconnaissance of our special operations battalion, the Japanese army attacking Linyi has 75 troops, more than a Type B division, and tanks, eight of which have been destroyed by us. In addition, they have -caliber artillery pieces, hundreds of mortars, and countless light and heavy machine guns. They are now building positions south of the Qilin Mountain defense line. If nothing unexpected happens, a night battle will be launched tonight."

"Received. Our unit will continue to advance southwards. We will find the Japanese artillery group and attack it based on the reconnaissance of the special operations battalion. Over."

Lu Feihu handed the receiver and microphone to the signalman.

"This is a good thing! Order the troops to keep silent and keep moving forward. The distance between us and the Japanese is at most one or two kilometers. If we are discovered, a barrage of artillery fire will be no joke."

At eight o'clock in the evening, when the Tiger Regiment took over the South Gate of Jinan with the joint efforts of the inside and outside forces, the Japanese army launched an artillery attack on the Qilin Mountain position. The timing was just right, as the team members had just secured the anti-artillery hole.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The Japanese army's large-caliber artillery bombarded for half an hour, and the mortar fired twenty rapid shots. The Qilin Mountain position was filled with explosions. Although there were trenches and anti-artillery holes, they were arranged too hastily, and the soldiers of the Second Regiment still suffered continuous casualties.

As soon as the shelling stopped, a rumbling sound was heard in the darkness. At the same time, the heavy mortars of the Second Regiment had locked onto the Japanese mortar position and fired ten rounds at a rapid speed. In thirty seconds, the artillerymen began to move with the undisassembled heavy mortars. Just one minute later, the Japanese artillery began test firing. In one minute and thirty seconds, the Japanese artillery began to cover the heavy mortar positions of the Second Regiment with fire.

The artillery battle was going on fiercely over there, and the Japanese troops here had already rushed up. It was a rare sight. The infantry covered the tank charge, and the tank's turret and machine gun had been suppressing and strafing. The Japanese troops came up on the artillery bombardment point. When the soldiers of the Second Regiment looked up, the attacking Japanese troops had already advanced to a distance of 150 meters.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns still had to be set up, so we could only use submachine guns to deal with the first round.

With one round of fire from hundreds of submachine guns in the frontline trenches, the Japanese troops rushing in front of the tanks were instantly wiped out.

Da da da da da da!

The anti-aircraft machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns finally opened fire, and the explosions happened as a result. The tanks over 200 meters away could not withstand it and were turned into fireballs while firing. Their turrets were even more overturned. The Japanese soldiers following the tanks could not withstand it even more. If they could not hit them head-on, they could fire from the side. Anyway, the range of the two caliber machine guns was sufficient.
