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

The Japanese army ultimately failed to stop the retreating troops of the expeditionary force. Within a week, the British army retreated to the city of Imphal in India. The Japanese army pursued them and fought several major battles with the British army and the joint forces of the expeditionary force in the Demu Mountains east of Imphal. They did not gain much advantage and even suffered some losses. Finally, they retreated due to problems with the supply line, turned north and occupied Homalin and Hpakant. Since then, China's foreign aid route has been completely cut off.

Domestically, in addition to the Guards Regiment continuing to fight the Japanese army in the Penicillin Corridor, the Fifth War Zone fought out of the Nanyang Basin, recovered Zhumadian, Pingdingshan, Luohe and Zhoukou, and directly threatened Zhengzhou's southern gate - Xuchang.

The Japanese army seemed unwilling to give up the Central Plains, so they mobilized three Type B divisions from South China and one Type B division and a mixed brigade from Shanxi, and marched straight into the heart of the Central Plains from the south and the north.

Upon learning that two Japanese divisions were heading north, Chen Feng urgently ordered the first regiment to assemble, abandon all occupied areas, and hand them over to the Lunan Detachment, and bring all supplies and equipment to rush south to support the Guard Regiment.

At this point, the area actually controlled by the Yimeng Guerrillas had shrunk significantly. Except for the city of Jinan, the entire western and southern Shandong were left to the Lunan Detachment.

The mobilization of three and a half divisions of the Japanese army caused defense gaps in many places. The Ninth War Zone began to be active in the Xinqiang River area. At the same time, the Second War Zone also began its recovery offensive, starting from towns and small counties. They attacked wherever there was a gap. The anti-Japanese situation in China began to reverse quietly.

In the Gongchangling mountainous area southeast of Liaoyang, a mysterious team has grown in size. After more than two months of silent development, the number of troops under Shen Zizhong has now reached 13,000.

Their footprints can be found in the entire mountainous area east of the Liaodong Peninsula. The small-scale Japanese troops had no way to survive there. The Japanese thought it was just a small-scale fight by the guerrillas and did not take them seriously at all.

Shen Zizhong strictly controlled his subordinates, trying not to leave the mountainous area and avoid large-scale firefights with the Japanese. If necessary, they must be completely wiped out.

There is no shortage of money or ammunition. If it weren't for Shen Zizhong's strict control, a team of 20,000 people could be formed by now.

There are still two Japanese warships guarding Lianyungang City, and the Third Regiment has not found a suitable opportunity. However, the new recruits of the Jiaolong Regiment have been trained, and the team has grown from a few hundred soldiers to two thousand people. In response to the two warships closest to them, Wang Dalei of the Jiaolong Regiment sent the Jiaolong Commando to conduct strict reconnaissance.

On November 11, the Jiaolong Commando secretly sneaked into Guancaowang. At the same time, the Third Regiment and the Second Regiment's Special Operations Battalion formulated detailed siege tactics. Once the Jiaolong Commando successfully seized the ship, the two units would launch a lightning raid on the Japanese troops in Lianyungang, annihilate the Japanese troops in the urban military camps within two hours, and then evacuate with the spoils.

At the Lianyungang wharf, a team of workers were carrying supplies onto a landing craft. The warships anchored offshore were replenished once a week, and today was another day of replenishment. The life of the entire Japanese army sequence was a bit difficult, but the navy's food supplies made the army very envious.

There were less than 400 people on the two warships, but they transported nearly one ton of beef alone. What a concept! Each sailor could eat six or seven taels of beef every day. The canned beef were specially made, completely different from the canned beef blood and miscellaneous grains eaten by the army. There was also rice shipped from Kanto Sea and fruits shipped from all over the place. Overall, the goods looked dazzling.

"You two, be careful, or you will die."

"Hi"!

A Japanese second lieutenant saw two laborers carrying the basket crookedly and shouted at them.

The two were members of the Jiaolong Commando and the Special Operations Team of the First Battalion of the Third Regiment. Half of the dozens of laborers were from the Yimeng Guerrillas, including the second lieutenant who shouted loudly. They began to infiltrate half a month ago and have basically controlled the defense of the dock now. The main reason was that the Longhai East Line was cut off and the Japanese army's overall strategy moved south. The newly built simple dock had no strategic value except for receiving supplies.

On the landing craft, the Japanese lieutenant who was in charge of receiving supplies was a little impatient. These useless army men were too slow. If they weren't the ones who had to be relied upon to organize and transport the supplies, he really wanted to slap them in the face.

"Mr. Pingquan, the supplies are all here, please count them."

Ichiro Hiraizumi glanced around and thought, nothing else matters, but he had to order all the sake shipped from China. There was an event tonight and the taste of sake made him miss home.

"Kobayashi-kun, thank you for your hard work."

"Hi! Kobayashi, thank you, Mr. Hiraizumi. This is what we should do. You guys, please be careful. If you knock over the bottle, you will die."

The supplies were loaded onto the boat, and the landing craft paddled into the sea with white waves. The workers were scolded and went to tidy up the warehouse. "Lieutenant Kobayashi" watched the landing craft leave, studying the distance between the two Japanese light cruisers. The anchorage was only more than 500 meters away from the dock. If there was no strong wind at night, it would take 20 minutes to sail there.

When it got dark, the laborers were driven into dormitories that looked like pig sty. Although they were all captured, the Japanese army was not harsh on them. They were all amulets! With these hundreds of laborers, neither the Jiaolong Regiment nor the Flying Squadron of the Yimeng Guerrillas could think of stealthily bombing the dock.

When the laborers returned to the dock, they immediately took off their tattered clothes, changed into swimming suits, and checked their weapons and ammunition.

The laborers nearby were used to it. They knew they were saved tonight, so they went home and moved to southern Shandong overnight. They never wanted to live in the Japanese-occupied area again.

The night in the harbor is very lively. The Japanese army in Lianyungang doesn't care about this place at all. There are warships guarding it, so safety is basically worry-free. The new Lieutenant Kobayashi is very good at dealing with people. He will intercept some of the materials every time he unloads them. He has saved up a lot of high-end food and sake. Tonight is a party. Except for the team brought by Lieutenant Kobayashi who are on guard, everyone else can drink as much as they want.

The sentries stood at strategic positions in the harbor, enjoying the sea breeze and sneering at the noisy sounds in the dormitory area. "Eat! Drink! After you're full, you can set off on your journey."

At nine o'clock in the evening, the noise gradually subsided. Perhaps it was because of the sake, the Japanese soldiers all felt their heads heavy. They returned to the dormitory one by one and fell on their bunks, snoring. Some of the "drunk" Japanese soldiers even snored in the cafeteria.

The members of the Jiaolong Commando considerately gathered all the Japanese soldiers in the dormitory, wiped the neck of each one, and then covered them with quilts.

A signal was sent from the north, and a group of members of the Jiaolong Regiment, also wearing water uniforms, sneaked in and entered the labor dormitory, waiting for the order to attack.

There seemed to be a party on the ship. Once a week, on the night when supplies were being delivered, restrictions would be relaxed to give the bored soldiers a chance to relax.

"Liu Wenbo, why is there such a loud noise on the boat?"

"Captain, all the food has been drugged, but the dosage is very light. It's estimated to be around eleven o'clock."
