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

In Huanglianyu, the positions on the west side of the valley had been dug, and the soldiers hid in the trenches waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army. The valley bottom was cleaned, the explosion pits were filled, the bodies were moved away, and even the bloodstains on both sides of the railway were cleaned up. However, the smell of gunpowder dissipated too slowly, and a strange choking smell was still everywhere.

The ambush team in the north has sent a telegram, the two waves of reinforcements out of Jinan city have been completely wiped out, Jinan has no more help, perhaps troops will be transferred from other places tomorrow. The north side is safe tonight. Yang Qingfeng lay in the trench and thought secretly, this is the focus of the night, as long as this reinforcement is eliminated, even if it is just a defeat, the southern line will be relatively safe. The sabotage activities are in full swing, and the mission is about to be completed!

The cavalry observation post was ready to report back at any time about the Japanese army. When the last rider finished reporting, he hid in the valley east of Huanglianyu Valley and the Japanese army was about to arrive.

Three minutes later, the sound of machine guns was heard, including Type 92 and Type 95 light machine guns. From the sound, there were at least five or six machine guns firing.

Five minutes later, the light of car lights was heard, and bullets whizzed into the heights on both sides. There were four three-wheeled motorcycles on the road, with Type 92 heavy machine guns on them. Behind them was a row of trucks. The front two trucks had Type 92 heavy machine guns on their hoods, one on each side, and bullets kept searching the hillsides on both sides. There were also cavalry, who did not take the road, but advanced on both sides of the railway line.

The team was very long, and with the terrain of Huanglianyu, only two-thirds of the Japanese troops could be accommodated. Shao Boqiang had considered this issue. There was a better ambush point on the north side, but it was eight kilometers to the north, which was not conducive to the attack on the railway line.

The Japanese army entered the pocket. The front army had just advanced half the distance when it suddenly braked and stopped moving. It must have smelled the faint smell of gunpowder in the air. A minute later, the cavalry began to advance to the hillsides on both sides. There was no choice but to fight.

A signal flare was launched into the air, and the ambushes on both sides of the position opened fire. The intensive machine gun fire was aimed at the cavalry. The advancing Japanese cavalry was suddenly hit and tried to retreat down the hillside in panic. The machine guns on both sides did not give them a chance, and the cavalry who came up were thrown to the ground.

The rocket soldiers hit the trucks. Dozens of rockets flew everywhere. The trucks that came within range began to explode violently. The Japanese soldiers jumped off the trucks in the flames and ran frantically in the valley.

The artillery on both sides did not open fire. Artillery is the top priority to reduce casualties tonight.

The Japanese follow-up troops reacted quickly. The fighting in the front was fierce, and the infantry behind began to attack the flanks of the positions on both sides.

Five minutes later, the artillery began test firing. After a few test firings and adjustments, the Japanese artillery began rapid firing. The shells whizzed towards the positions on the hillside. Although there were trenches for shelter, the defenders still suffered certain casualties.

The artillery positions behind the hillside launched an emergency counterattack. Before the battle, there had been strict debugging. After the coordinates were adjusted without test firing, they opened fire with ten rounds at high speed. The first company of the second battalion had twelve mortars, and the opposite Lunan detachment had eighteen mortars. They fired all the shells within one minute. More than two-thirds of the three hundred shells fell into the Japanese artillery positions. After the team members finished firing the shells, they lifted the mortars and ran.

The team members on the north side of the position had nothing to do, so as soon as the battle started, they moved southward along the trench to provide support. There were more and more Japanese troops below the southern blocking position, and more and more machine guns and rocket launchers in the trenches above.

All, all, all, all!

boom! Boom boom boom!

The artillery positions on the other side of the Japanese army opened fire, and the artillery positions of the defenders on both sides suffered intensive attacks. Fortunately, the artillery moved their positions. As expected, the strength of a regiment could not be limited to just a dozen mortars.

After the Japanese mortars hit the two artillery positions here, they continued to bombard the blocking positions on the south side. The artillery shells were very dense, and the blocking positions on the south suffered heavy casualties. The positions on the west side were okay, as 1,000 troops could be replenished at any time. The positions of the first company of the second battalion on the east side were a bit stretched. They had to fight the Japanese troops in the valley and block the Japanese troops swarming in from the south, and they were under great pressure under the artillery fire.

"Correspondent"!

"arrive"!

"Notify the reserve troops to reinforce the positions on the south side. Don't all go up there. Reinforce them one company at a time. Notify the artillery to seize the time to counterattack."

The 400 soldiers in the reserve had been ready to move. When the opportunity came, they carried the newly captured machine guns and rushed into the trenches of the southern position under fire. A minute later, the machine guns started firing. With more than ten light and heavy machine guns, an area of ​​the Japanese troops that swarmed in was cleared out in an instant.

All, all, all, all!

boom! Boom boom boom!

The defending artillery began to counterattack, and the second positions on both sides opened fire almost at the same time. Within one minute, 300 shells hit the Japanese artillery positions, and more than half of the shells entered the effective explosion range. After the explosion, there was no movement in the Japanese artillery positions.

After firing ten rapid shots, they continued to move. There were no prepared positions, so the artillery commander led his team decisively into the bombed position to set up artillery. Two or three minutes later, the Japanese army attacked with artillery shells, and two or three shells hit the previous position. It seemed that they had run out of tricks.

"Adjust the coordinates, quickly, the first group will attack the Japanese artillery, the second and third groups will attack the Japanese trucks, one test firing, twenty rounds at high speed."

The artillery quickly adjusted the scales.

"A set is completed!"

"Group 2 completed!"

"Three groups completed!"

"Test firing, fire!"

All, all, all, all!

boom! Boom boom boom!

The artillery firing positions of Group 2 and Group 3 overlapped somewhat, so the commander ordered Group 3 to extend their firing. After Group 3 quickly adjusted their coordinates, twenty rounds of rapid firing began.

All, all, all, all!

boom! Boom boom boom!

The artillery on both sides opened fire almost at the same time! After firing twenty rounds of rapid fire, the coordinates continued to be extended. The Japanese trucks were severely damaged, and the light and heavy machine guns covered by the trucks were also shaken into the sky by the violent explosion.

Without artillery cover, the light and heavy machine guns behind them also stopped firing. The Japanese troops charging up the hillside found that they could not hold on any longer. Dozens of fire chains were sweeping back and forth from above, and there were fewer and fewer of their kind around them. They had been shouting and killing just now, but now there was suddenly no movement.

After two rounds of artillery fire, the southern positions suffered heavy casualties. Now without artillery and machine gun harassment, the machine guns emitted angry flames, and the Japanese troops that entered the ambush positions were almost wiped out. The firepower of the positions on both sides had no blind spots. Even if there were only rocket launchers and light and heavy machine guns, they would not be able to withstand it. They could not avoid the wreckage of the truck, and could not rush up to both sides. Except for some Japanese troops who retreated in time, the rest were basically dead.

The Japanese commanders behind them looked hopeless. The artillery had lost the artillery battle tonight. Otherwise, with superior forces and the cover of artillery fire, they would definitely be able to rush to the southern position. The battle had been fought till now, and they could have retreated. It should be said that they could have rout. None of the three captains dared to speak. The order from the superiors was to do it at all costs, but would it work at all costs? There was no hope except to waste the imperial warriors in vain.
