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

At Hailwenmiaoling, the Japanese army set up camp after their breakthrough here. Fearing an enemy attack in the dark, they surrounded the hill of Hailwenmiaoling. With the cover of naval guns, there was no need to set up mountain guns and field guns. They only built simple mortar positions on the four hillsides.

Japanese Major General Abu, who was in charge of the operations on the easternmost front, surrendered. The chief of staff, Colonel Oguri Hayashiyama, had three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment, plus an engineering battalion and half a logistics regiment, a total of 13,000 troops.

Since setting out from Ganyu, they have been harassed all the time, but Abe surrendered and marched very cautiously. The enemy's artillery bombardment was everywhere, but it could only hit some outer guard troops.

At the end of the day, only more than 300 people were killed in the entire sequence, and there were only more than 500 wounded. Abe surrendered did not care about this loss at all. The opposite side consumed more than a thousand artillery shells in a day. He did not believe that the artillery shells of the Third Regiment of the Yimeng Guerrillas were endless.

Before it got dark, Abe ordered his troops to set up camp. He did a lot of work before the attack. There was a miniature river more than ten miles ahead with several stone bridges on the river. The enemy would definitely blow them up before he arrived. Although the river water was not urgent, the silt in the river was very deep. Abe would never give the enemy a chance to attack them halfway across the river. He would not take the risk even if he had artillery cover.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army was still eating, and the special operations battalion could not wait to start the artillery attack.

Abe surrendered and stood on the top of the mountain. The enemy did not have large-caliber artillery, and even heavy mortars could not reach here.

Looking at the fireworks around him, Abe Naoomi sneered. The enemy was getting impatient! The artillery attack was random, or as the Chinese saying goes, a hammer here and a hammer there. The target of the sneak attack was only the outer guard team.

"General Abe, do you want to call for naval artillery support?"

"Mr. Oguri, don't panic. The enemy's artillery bombardment is ineffective. Naval artillery shells are precious. Don't waste them on these stragglers."

"Let's go! There's nothing to see. The food is ready, so we just have to sit back and relax."

The two men went down the hillside and saw seven or eight artillery positions on the hillside ready for battle. They smiled at each other and felt very complacent.

However, they did not realize that this attack was just a bait. In fact, the 3rd Regiment of the Yimeng Guerrillas did not use large-caliber mortars, but used 60-caliber mortars to move around and attack the outer guard teams, creating a false impression of impatience.

Huang Shanhe was no longer as impatient as before. Mengshan called and said that the bombers would arrive at dawn tomorrow morning and launch a covering bombing on Wenmiaoling Mountain before the Japanese planes arrived.

Chen Feng had assessed the entire battle situation and found that only the Third Regiment at Huangshanhe was difficult to control, mainly because the threat from the naval guns was too great. In the evening, Huangshanhe had sent out an attack plan. There was nothing wrong with the attack plan, but if the battle continued like this, the losses would be beyond imagination.

After hesitating for a long time, they had no choice but to send out bombers for the bombing. The Japanese combat forces would definitely take off to provide cover tomorrow morning, and they had to take off before dawn. This required strict requirements for the pilots, and there were only ten ace pilots who could perform this mission.

Chen Feng communicated with Jennings, and Jennings said that there was no problem at all, and that he only needed to light bright enough bonfires at three locations: Phoenix Island, Tuo Island, and Lingshan Island.

After everything was arranged, an order was sent to Huangshanhe to launch a surprise attack tonight, but the plan had to be changed and the main attack would still be artillery. Regardless of whether the bombing would succeed or not tomorrow morning, the people in Guancaowang had been evacuated, so the Japanese could be allowed to come in and fight again. As long as they were far away from the seaside, they could deal with them as they pleased.

At two o'clock in the morning, the battle of Jinan City was over. Except for Zhangzhuang Airport, all targets were captured. The Japanese Jinan Command retreated to the airport when the Tiger Regiment started to attack. Any place could be lost, but the airport could not have any problems. There was an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion of the Japanese army stationed at the airport. The airport had been attacked many times and was severely slapped in the face by the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army, Tada Shun, when he took office. It was unbearable, and Tada Shun had issued a death order that if there was any problem at the airport again, all the defenders above the rank of second lieutenant would be committed by disembowelment. The Jinan garrison would also bear joint and several liability.

After living in fear for half the night, the enemy showed no intention of advancing towards Zhangzhuang Airport, but the garrison did not dare to be negligent, let alone leave the airport to provide support to the railway station and key departments.

The two thousand recruits let themselves go. When the company in front attacked, they had the final say on everything, including dealing with the Japanese, dealing with traitors, distributing supplies, and setting fires. They were still a bit conservative at the beginning, but were ambushed by two nurses and the explosion killed or injured five or six soldiers. All the recruits were angry and felt extremely outraged at their own kindness.

After dealing with the Japanese hospital, the recruits all shouted loud slogans.

After the new recruits left, no grass grew.

Having had experience before, the oppressed common people stood up bravely. When they saw the people from the Tiger Regiment, they grabbed them and complained about the Japanese Chamber of Commerce that was bullying the market and the traitors and their running dogs that were oppressing the common people. The troops in front had no time to care. The new recruits liked the feeling of being respected the most. Under the leadership of the common people, the city of Jinan was in flames.

At four o'clock in the morning, the Tiger Regiment began to evacuate. Each company had captured trucks. Those that could be transported were transported, those that could not be transported were divided, and those that could not be divided were burned. The road of retreat was a mess. With the arrival of the convoy, the recruits got on the trucks reluctantly. Looking back at the people who were also reluctant to leave, they felt a little sorry. There were still many trivial matters that had not been dealt with!

When the Tiger Regiment retreated, the Guard Battalion of the 1st Regiment also retreated, also looting all the supplies in Taishan City and blowing up five kilometers of railway tracks.

The battle of the Lunan Detachment was also coming to an end. At 11 o'clock in the evening, Yang Qingfeng's side first dealt with the Japanese army. Most of the Japanese troops in the two regiments were wiped out. The remaining troops had no way to retreat to the south, and could only head north to find the main force. How could they possibly outrun the members of the Lunan Detachment? While chasing and fighting, only less than 500 people from the two Japanese regiments ran to the location of the main force. Unexpectedly, the battle here was even more intense.

Yang Qingfeng did not immediately join the battle. Those who caught up with him were infantrymen holding submachine guns and Type 38 rifles. It would take at least twenty minutes for the machine gunners and artillerymen to arrive. Yang Qingfeng ordered everyone to rest on the spot and asked the signalman to contact the political commissar by radio.

The battle in Houwan Village has become intense. There are densely packed corpses lying on the slope at the foot of the mountain. The blocking troops of the Lunan Detachment have also suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese mortars and light and heavy machine guns are fighting back desperately. The trenches are constructed somewhat simply and casualties are unavoidable.

When the machine gunners and artillerymen arrived, there were corpses of the Japanese all along the way. After receiving the captain's urgent orders, they had no time to clean up the battlefield.

Without giving the artillerymen and machine gunners time to rest, Yang Qingfeng ordered the artillerymen to set up the guns directly.
