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

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, February 5, 1938 in the Gregorian calendar, the team members left their families early in the morning and gathered in Baoduqiao to start the Hell Month training. Chen Feng remembered that the Japanese army would reach Teng County in one month and ten days. Although the team members were all well trained, in Chen Feng's eyes, there was still a lot to be learned. Japanese, disguised reconnaissance, sniping, blasting, booby traps, in Chen Feng's eyes, there was still a lot of room for improvement. In addition to basic skills such as normal raids, this Hell Month training focused on strengthening training for these shortcomings.

There are only seven people in the team, but Chen Feng has no plan to continue recruiting people. If the team is of mixed quality, it will likely drag everyone down.

Half a month later, the supplies that Zhang Liang's family's caravan helped to purchase arrived, including explosives, fuses, medical equipment and a large amount of medicines. Although most of the supplies were under military control, don't underestimate the power of the big yellow croaker. The team began actual combat exercises, sneak attacking the command post, blowing up the arsenal, and destroying the artillery position. Liu Caiyun also began to train battlefield rescue, taking Heiwa and Ding San to treat illnesses and save lives during the training breaks, mainly stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wounded on the battlefield.

Twenty-five days have passed since the Hell Month training, and the tactical qualities of the team members have undergone earth-shaking changes: sharp eyes, agile bodies, first-class marksmanship, superb martial arts, standing like pine trees, sitting like bells, slow as a forest, and quick as the wind. Chen Feng looked at the team members and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. He had been in this era for almost half a year and finally had like-minded teammates. Although there were only six members, special operations were never won by numbers. Chen Feng was full of confidence in the Lone Wolf Commando.

On March 5th, the team set out. Each person had a horse and brought all the equipment and ammunition. They were going to survey the environment around Teng County first. The National Army had already begun to set up positions on the periphery. A large number of troops were deployed to defend the positions on the Longshan line north of Teng County.

Cheng Hao didn't know much about the Battle of Teng County. He only knew that Li Zongren once commented on the Battle of Teng County. Without the Battle of Teng County, there would be no Taierzhuang Victory.

The team hid from the Kuomintang troops more than 20 miles away from Teng County, hid the excess weapons and equipment near a village called Duchang Lane, and entrusted the horses to a family for care. They gave them 20 dollars first and promised to give them three dollars a day no matter how many days the family came to pick them up. The old man in the household was naturally very excited. The team left Duchang Lane and entered a barren mountain on the north side of Teng County. During this period, they were discovered by the Kuomintang troops and were likely to be treated as Japanese spies.

The team members hid during the day and surveyed the terrain at night. They used the first few days of the war to conduct a detailed investigation of the surrounding environment, summarizing together during the day and continuing the survey at night. Except for Tengzhou City, which they did not enter, they became very familiar with even the positions of the Kuomintang army.

On March 9, the brigade commander Lai Guqi was extremely excited sitting in the armored vehicle. They were about to reach the outskirts of Teng County. Lai Guqi was full of confidence in the upcoming battle. The National Army was vulnerable. From Han Fuqu, he could see that as long as the Imperial Army launched an attack, the National Army would flee without a fight. Since entering Shandong, they had basically not encountered large-scale resistance and sniping. He wanted to become famous in Tengzhou, quickly capture Tengzhou where the miscellaneous troops were stationed, and then jointly attack Linyi's Banhuan Division to capture Xuzhou and capture Li Zongren alive. His future would be limitless. In terms of quantity, Lai Guqi never felt that the Tengzhou defenders would pose any threat to him. It would be ridiculous if a group of ragtag Sichuan troops without rifles and holding swords and spears could stop the advance of the Imperial Japanese Army. He might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself. The defense of Teng County was a joke. Not to mention air support, his twelve 150mm howitzers could turn it into ruins, not to mention more than twenty tanks and armored vehicles. The Chinese army didn't even have decent artillery and only relied on a few mortars, which could not pose any threat to tanks and armored vehicles.

The troops stopped. They should be close to the Longshan defensive position. Lai Guqi's blood was burning. There is an old Chinese saying: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. He cannot say that he knows everything about the defenses around Teng County, but he can say that he knows the general idea. The intelligence organization of the empire is pervasive. Teng County and the surrounding defense forces are engraved in his mind. Lai Guqi got off the chariot and picked up the telescope handed over by his men. The Kuomintang position in front was still digging trenches. It was too funny. Are they preparing to dig their own graves? Order the troops to rest for a night and launch an attack tomorrow morning.

Chen Feng was on a hilltop seven or eight miles to the left, observing the approaching Japanese troops with a telescope. He judged that the opposing forces were less than a brigade, but very close. Judging from the number of tanks and armored vehicles, it should be a tank regiment. Behind them was a heavy artillery battalion, which was building an artillery position. Chen Feng planned to attack the heavy artillery battalion first tonight. The 150mm howitzer had too much destructive power. With more than ten howitzers bombarding the position, the National Army team probably couldn't withstand it.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and the positions of both sides were quiet, but the air was filled with the atmosphere before the war and was very depressing. Cheng Hao and his seven men were making a detour. The heavy artillery battalion was located at the rear of the Japanese camp, on the south side of an unnamed hill, seven or eight miles away from the front of the position.

The Lone Wolf Commando bypassed all the areas where the Japanese troops were stationed and made a big circle to the foot of the mountain. Although the Japanese troops were arrogant, the artillery positions were heavily guarded. Not only did patrols shuttle back and forth, but there were also endless open and secret sentries. Looking at the twelve cannons arranged in formation on the hillside with a telescope, Chen Feng knew that once the Japanese army launched an attack tomorrow morning, these twelve cannons would quickly destroy the front trenches of the National Army, and they might even collapse by then. Although the Sichuan Army was also stationed at Longshan, the most powerful weapon they had encountered in their previous battles was probably the Type 92 infantry gun, which was far inferior to the Type 150 howitzer.

The team moved to a position several dozen meters away from the Japanese and carefully observed their movements. After a whole day of forced march, the Japanese who had no defense tasks were all fast asleep in the tents, ready to rest well for the battle tomorrow morning. Based on the number of cannons and tents, Chen Feng determined that this group of Japanese was only about 200 people. A fully staffed artillery battalion should have 16 heavy artillery pieces and about 400 people, and there should be a logistics support team behind them. There were two patrol teams, each with six people, patrolling up and down and left and right around this dozens of meters high hill. There were also three sentries around the artillery group, and each sentry could check the status of four howitzers at the same time. In addition, Chen Feng also found a secret sentry at the top of the hill, hiding in a patch of dry grass. If the dry grass had not been shaking, Chen Feng would not have been able to find it.

After one patrol team passed, there were still ten minutes before the next patrol team arrived. Chen Feng immediately formulated the combat mission:

The six team members ran upwards for 30 meters and ambushed on the road that the patrol team must pass. Each person was responsible for one. Chen Feng went to deal with the secret sentry and let the next patrol team pass. He waited for another time to start the action. After dealing with the patrol team, he quickly changed into the Japanese clothes, hid the Japanese bodies, and continued to ambush the next patrol team. When Chen Feng and the second patrol team passed by here, he would go to deal with the three sentries. The six members of the team quickly went to the Japanese tents and set up booby traps with grenades. Each person was responsible for two tents, and they had to set up traps at the door and around them. After the arrangement was completed, they gathered with Chen Feng to blow up the artillery and stuffed the miniature explosive packs into the shell boxes everywhere. They lit the long fuse, retreated 200 meters and started sniping, and never let the Japanese get close to the burning fuse.

After the distribution was completed, Chen Feng moved up the hillside from one side. Fortunately, he found the secret sentry, otherwise if he was seen touching the post, he would definitely rush to warn the enemy. In that case, he would have to rob it. At least two hundred Japanese soldiers would rush out of the tent at the same time, and it would be difficult to ensure that the entire team was led out.
