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

In Lincheng, Yang Qingfeng, captain of the Lunan detachment, had a headache. It came again. Although it had little to do with them, it was frustrating to compare oneself with others. In the same village, the families of the Yimeng guerrillas enjoyed delicious food and fish, while the families of their soldiers could only watch. Although the Lunan detachment had also saved some belongings, Yang Qingfeng really did not dare to distribute them.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve, and the Dawa base is decorated with lights and colors. Perhaps this is the last Spring Festival we will spend here, and those who know the situation cherish it very much.

Li Yunyan and Song Zihan were decorating the room and the yard. Sister Caiyun was too busy, so they decorated Liu Caiyun's house as well, with Spring Festival couplets, Fu Zi, Kitchen God, and God of Wealth. Daya, the communications company leader of the Jiaolong Regiment, was helping. Her father had already gone to Holy Spear City, and she had no relatives to take care of during the New Year, so she was brought here by Wang Dalei who came for the meeting.

Chen Feng was lying against the wall outside the gate smoking, with several regiment leaders gathered around him. There was a set of tea sets on the small table, and the newly promoted independent regiment leader Guo Dapeng was busy.

It's the beginning of spring, the temperature has warmed up a lot, and the snow on the sunny side has almost melted.

"Da Lei, how about the new radar?"

"Captain, that's great. We can detect the Japanese planes and ships early, and the submarines can't stop our detection. Last time when we delivered supplies to the New Fourth Division, a Japanese submarine was circling the outskirts of Jiaozhou Bay. A destroyer passed by as part of routine training and dropped two depth charges, leaving the sea surface covered with oil and debris."

"Okay, as long as it works. Don't stay in Jiaozhou Bay after the New Year. Don't worry about the north. Try to move south. The Second and Third Regiments will continue to fight south. Wherever they fight, you will clear out the warships near the coast."

"That's great. To be honest, all the soldiers ask me every day when the war will start and when we can rob the warships again."

Chen Feng put out his cigarette and took a sip of hot tea.

"For now, forget about thinking about robbing the warships. As long as the Japanese are not stupid, they will definitely be prepared, especially the navy that is close to us. If we climb up again, we may encounter an ambush."

"By the way, Captain, Chen Rongwei asked me to bring a message. Those pilots have been cruising for half a year and have never seen any combat. They are always asking when they can start fighting."

"It was probably those pilots who came to aid China and Dennis' group. Tell Rongwei to appease the pilots. There will be a big operation after the New Year, and it will not be later than the Qingming Festival. They will have their own fight then."

"Zhang Liang, please also comfort the pilots at Jinan Airport."

"Captain, how do we play specifically? Do you have a plan?"

"Not yet. We have to wait for the telegram from Shi Wei and others. I estimate it won't take long. My general idea is to transfer the soldiers who are going to stay in the south first. Have Zhang Liang lead them all the way south, across most of China to join the war in the Land of Ten Thousand Towers. Half of the remaining soldiers will be left for defense, and the other half will join the Guard Regiment to cooperate with the National Army to drive away the Japs west of the Penicillin Corridor first, to facilitate the transfer of our main forces and their families."

"Captain, there are more than 5,000 people going to the south. Excluding the guard regiment and the first regiment, there are half of the people left, 7,000 or 8,000? Is it possible to defend such a large defense area? The territory is too big! What if the Japanese~".

"Old Wu, we don't need the territory now, we will hand it over slowly. You, the Second Regiment, should keep Linyi City for now! Old Huang, the same goes for your Third Regiment. I will let the New Fourth Division move south, and your forces should also be withdrawn to the center."

After everything was arranged, Li Yunyan and the others finished their work.

"Captain, it's getting dark, why aren't you cooking yet?"

"Okay, you guys go inside and drink. I'm going to cook. Daya, light the fire for me. Yunyan and Zihan, make dumplings!"

Daya smiled shyly, feeling very grateful to Captain Wang. She felt extremely happy to be able to spend the New Year with the captain.

Zhang Liang and a few others carried a table into the inner room, where they sat by the fire, smoked, drank tea and boasted.

All the ingredients are ready, and Chen Feng is only responsible for frying. Spicy chicken and spicy rabbit meat are indispensable. There are also carrots and pork tripe, salt and pepper prawns, white-scaled fish stewed with tofu, garlic carp, bacon and bamboo shoots, and cabbage meatball soup. With six dishes and one soup, the New Year's Eve dinner must be a bit sumptuous.

Li Yunyan and Song Zihan were making dumplings, cabbage and pork, and radish and beef at a small table in the outer room. Daya was making the fire and Chen Feng was cooking. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

"It smells so good! Captain, what are you frying?"

Liu Caiyun is back. She is the busiest person in the whole Mengshan. After washing her hands, she sat down and made dumplings together. They will be eaten tonight, tomorrow morning, and all day tomorrow. She has to make more.

"Spicy chicken, are you hungry?"

"Even if I'm hungry, I have to wait for you to finish cooking! Hey? Who is this girl?"

"You are Sister Caiyun, right? My name is Daya."

Liu Caiyun glanced at Chen Feng who was cooking.

"Sister Daya, I know you, Captain. You are a guest coming from afar. How can you let Daya make the fire? Let me do it!"

"Sister Caiyun, no need, I can burn it, I know how to do it."

Chen Feng took the spicy chicken out of the pot, scrubbed the pot and dried it, and prepared to stew the salted fish and tofu. These were the last two dishes, and he would complete the task by making a garlic carp.

"Daya, are you used to being on the warship?"

"Captain, I've gotten used to it. After staying on it for a long time, I'm not used to it when I get ashore. I feel like everything is not shaking anymore."

Several women were amused by Daya, but they all admired her in their hearts. A female navy! Living on a warship for many years was suffocating just thinking about it.

"The food is ready. Are there enough dumplings?"

"That's enough for tonight, tomorrow morning and tomorrow are still a long way off."

"Then let's wrap it after dinner. I'll wrap it with you guys. Let's drink and eat first!"

Six dishes and two soups were served on the table, four bottles of white wine were opened, and the New Year atmosphere was there.

"Dapeng, go set off some firecrackers, and then we can start drinking. Yunyan, go get some firecrackers for Dapeng."

"Captain Guo, please sit down. Captain, I can release it! Let me do it!"

Song Zihan knows how to shoot a gun and set off a cannon, so how could he trouble others with just a few firecrackers?

The sound of firecrackers had already been heard in Dawa. They were produced in a hurry by the arsenal and were very powerful. Song Zihan did not dare to tie them in the yard. He went out and hung them on the pear tree outside, lit them and ran away.

boom! Bang bang bang!

Louder than a gunshot.

"Daya, Sister Caiyun, come in and wash your hands, it's time to drink."

Wu Tianxiang looked at the table full of food and wine with some emotion.

"Captain, I haven't eaten the spicy chicken and spicy rabbit meat you made for a long time. I remember last year or the year before last, because you promised to cook these two dishes for the soldiers, the pheasants and rabbits within a ten-mile radius of Mengshan suffered and were almost extinct."

"Then eat more. We have two rabbits and two big roosters tonight, and we can't drink less wine!"

Daya was a little shy, and was pulled and dragged by Sister Caiyun to sit on a chair next to Chen Feng. She liked this girl very much, just like Li Yunyan when she first joined the team, she blushed when she saw the captain.
