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

In addition to the battle situation report of the Fifth War Zone, the battle records of the 1st and 2nd Regiments of Pegu were also sent. As expected, they completely wiped out two Japanese regiments.

Chen Feng is a little conflicted now. How well the expeditionary army fights is directly related to his own Nanyang layout. If they don't fight well, he will have the opportunity to lead the team to reinforce. If they fight well, no one will want him to participate. Knowing that the expeditionary army's firepower can't last long, Chen Feng sent a secret telegram to Wang Hanqiang of the Pegu Regiment.

In the Pegu Mountains, Wang Hanqiang had already returned to the base with the spoils of war. He had wiped out an entire Japanese regiment, and his own side had only sixteen casualties and more than thirty wounded. It must be said that the contrast in firepower advantage was too great.

"Captain, secret message from the captain."

Wang Hanqiang took the telegram and looked a little distressed after reading it. It was not easy to deal with! There were at least 60,000 to 70,000 Japanese troops between him and the expeditionary force. It was okay to simply transfer troops, but it was too difficult to send equipment.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"There's no other way. It's extremely difficult to carry the equipment through the Japanese defense line. Let's do a good job of reconnaissance! We can only implement the second plan."

The captain gave two plans. One was to send some arms to the expeditionary force. The intercepted arms could equip an army. Giving them to the expeditionary force could at least allow them to hold out for a few days. This was too difficult and there was no chance of success. The second plan was to keep an eye on the battle situation of the expeditionary force. If they were not able to defeat the enemy, the Japanese army would surely pursue them. The mission of the 12th Regiment of Pegu was to cut off the Japanese army's rear supplies, making it impossible for the Japanese army to pursue them, and to cover the expeditionary force's safe evacuation.

Relatively speaking, although the second plan would stir up a hornet's nest, it was simpler to implement. Wang Hanqiang was not afraid of stirring up a hornet's nest. The Pegu Mountains were covered with dense rainforests, so he was not afraid of any number of enemy troops and could always find opportunities to fight during the transition.

Knowing that Wang Hanqiang could not carry out the first plan, Chen Feng summoned the head of the guard regiment, Lin Chuan. Still under the pear tree, dusk had arrived. Chen Feng pulled off the last two pears, which would fall if he didn't eat them.

"Try it, these are the last two. Zi Han and Yun Yan have gone back to Mengshan to get things. Eat them quickly, otherwise you will cry if they see you."

Lin Chuan took the pear with a smile on his face. It was crisp, sweet and juicy.

"Captain, you are not trying to eat it to divert hatred, are you? I can't take the blame for this!"

"No, the two girls are reluctant to eat it. It would be a pity if it fell off or got worms one day."

After Lin Chuan finished eating the pear, he lit the cigarette handed to him by the captain.

"Captain, I don't want to ask about the arrangements first. I want to know what the situation is in the south."

This was the first time that Lin Chuan took the initiative to ask. He had always strongly supported any policy in the past, but had never asked the reasons. He knew some of the policies, including the pigeon plan and immigration policy, but not all.

"Holy Spear City is under vigorous construction, with military affairs as the main focus and people's livelihood as the secondary focus. When the Japanese devils are on the decline and the military and civil affairs develop at the same time, I plan to build it into a star in Southeast Asia. Go north, east, west, and south. Wherever my compatriots are in trouble, I will lead the army to attack there. I dare not say how big and strong it will be in the future, but at least my compatriots will have a foothold there and a safe little home."

Lin Chuan was silent for the time it took to smoke a cigarette. When the captain was speaking just now, he saw surging ambition in the captain's eyes. This had never happened before. Even if he controlled the entire Shandong Province and could become the local emperor of Shandong Province, he had never seen such a thing before.

"Captain, can I go?"

Li Yunyan and Song Zihan came back. The first thing they saw was the two pears on the tree. The second time they looked at the captain and Lin Tuan under the pear tree, it was over. They were finally eaten by the captain. Seeing the two people's depressed expressions, they could not worry about the pears anymore. They could only mourn for the two lovely pears.

"Yunyan, Zihan, notify the kitchen to prepare snacks. We can finally have a drink together with Tuan Lin."

The two of them said hello to Lin Chuan and returned to Chen Weiping's house, returning the tranquility at their doorstep to them.

"Lin Chuan, you have to think carefully. Going abroad is equivalent to giving up everything in the country, your military achievements, your combat performance, whatever you are proud of. After you defeat the Japanese, do you not want to return to the National Army to develop?"

Seeing that the captain spoke frankly, Lin Chuan no longer hid anything.

"It's boring, with power struggles, intrigues, and mutual constraints. I can't see any hope. It's better to live in a corner, have guns and money, and develop however I want."

Lin Chuan was a little excited as he spoke, and he lit a cigarette to calm himself down.

"Captain, to be honest, if I hadn't come to Mengshan, I would have been a major general of staff now, but that's not what I want at all. I've been here for almost two years, and I've killed at least tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers. I've paid enough, and I just want to live according to my heart in the future. That place attracts me too much. Captain, I know my identity is special. Don't treat me as the young master of the Lin family. The Lin family doesn't need a playboy like me, but the Holy Spear Regiment must need a general like me."

In fact, when Lin Chuan asked, Chen Feng understood that he would definitely go with him, otherwise he would never take the initiative to ask.

"The main reason I asked you to come here this time is to make preparations in this regard. How far has your regiment advanced in the southwest direction?"

Lin Chuan's eyes lit up. Sure enough, it was almost the same as he had guessed.

"Feng County to the west of Weishan Lake and Dangshan County to the southwest are also under planning and can be taken at any time."

Chen Feng closed his eyes and silently recited the map in his mind: Dangshan, Xiayi, and going south from Xiayi, passing Woyang Ying and going up to Huoqiu, he could directly reach Jinzhai County outside the Dabie Mountains. This road was the medicine transportation route and must be taken down now.

"Start taking action when we return, and the other regiments should consolidate their fronts! Send out your regiment's fists to open up the route from Fengxian County to Jinzhai County, with the main focus on attacking the county seat and eliminating all the Japanese and puppet troops along the way. Don't touch cities like Buyang, Bozhou for now."

Lin Chuan frowned. This task sounded simple at first glance, but in fact it was full of troubles.

"Captain, if we don't attack the big cities, what if they cut off the transportation? Our attack is equivalent to cutting the Japanese troops in Henan and Anhui in half. The Japanese army will definitely not sit there and wait for death."

"Fight, don't occupy the county town, but don't allow the Japanese to occupy the county town either. All troops must be mobile, do a good job of reconnaissance, use walkie-talkies to keep in touch, and attack wherever they show up until they dare not come out."

Lin Chuan's eyes widened. Is he so crazy? But it seems to make sense! Would he be afraid of the Japanese army in the wild? It's possible, but at least several divisions would be needed. Otherwise, with the combat effectiveness and firepower of the guard regiment, they could beat the drowning dog.

"Captain, I understand. Don't worry! But our defense zone"?

"I'll contact Lao Yang and hand it over to them! The mountains are high and the road is long over on the Kuomintang side, and Shen Honglie is not interested in it, so they are the only ones who can take over."

Lin Chuan nodded. Regarding the Lunan Branch, he didn't want to say too much. As long as the captain had a plan, that was enough.
