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

After three hours of forced march, the team returned to Duchang Lane and found the ammunition they had hidden before. Chen Feng asked Wang Hanqiang to give another 20 yuan to the old man who fed the horses in the village, asking him to continue feeding the horses well and take all the supplies and ammunition with him, and plan not to come back next time. If they ran out of ammunition, they could directly ask the Japanese for replenishment. The few of them stayed away from the battlefield, relaxed their minds, found a place with piles of haystacks, rested for a few hours, and took advantage of the dawn to set out on the road to the battlefield again. They asked Heiwa and Liu Caiyun to buy some food, mainly pork heads and dry biscuits. They stopped on the way to fill their stomachs and continued to move forward. When they were three or four miles away from the battlefield, the team found a slightly higher earthen ridge to continue observing the battle.

The Japanese were attacking, and Lai Guqi was strongly reprimanded by the division commander Rensuke Isogai. If there was no progress today, he would be directly removed and sent back to the Japanese headquarters to report. Lai Guqi's eyes turned red, and he directly ordered the Japanese to charge. Many Japanese with tampons tied on their heads were shirtless and started fighting with bayonets in hand. The Kuomintang positions were not polite either, and kept reaping the lives of the Japanese. There were three charges in the morning, but no achievements were made. There were some problems with the Kuomintang positions because of the bombing of more than 20 Japanese planes in the morning, and the defending forces suffered heavy casualties. In addition, after fighting for several days, there was no supply of ammunition. Song Weichuan, the commander of the Sichuan Army in charge of the front line, asked his superiors for supplies, but was told that he had to hold on for three more days before the supplies could be delivered.

Song Weichuan looked at the wounded soldiers in the camp, who were wailing because of the lack of medicine and surgical treatment, and the soldiers who were silently chewing dry biscuits. Each of them had no more than 20 bullets. He felt very painful. What a great opportunity! The devils were desperate to attack. As long as there were enough ammunition, they could definitely kill the devils on a large scale. Three battles in the morning killed three or four hundred people. It was estimated that the devils would attack again in the afternoon. Do we really want the brothers who are exhausted physically and mentally to fight with bayonets? It’s not that the Sichuan Army is afraid of fighting with bayonets, but the current soldiers simply don’t allow it!

During the lunch break, Lai Guqi went to the front line to mobilize the Japanese soldiers who were participating in the Zhutu:

Warriors of the Empire, because of three ammunition explosions, we have no extra shells to bombard the Chinese positions. If we don't make any achievements today, I will return to the base camp to report tomorrow. You may welcome a new brigade commander, or you may be disbanded and mixed with friendly troops. Are you willing?

Don't want to!

The morale of the Japs was high.

Very good, can we not fight without artillery shells? There are no cowards in the imperial army. The enemy is just a bunch of Chinese Sichuan troops. They don't have good shoes, good guns, and ammunition is not enough. It is such a group of beggar-like troops that have blocked us for three days. Shame, this is the shame of the Imperial Japanese Army. When the attack begins, the squadron leaders and team leaders will lead the charge. We must take down the Sichuan troops' positions and use their blood to wash away the shame of our 33rd Brigade. Dismissal!

Cut the board! Cut the board! Cut the board!

The Japanese started to attack again, and all the armored vehicles and tanks that could be used in the battlefield were sent to the battlefield. Even if there were no artillery shells, there were still machine guns. Even if they did not fire a single shot, they had to provide cover for the charging Japanese. They were determined to capture the Sichuan Army's position at all costs.

The Sichuan Army soldiers used their limited bullets to repel one wave of attacks. Before they had time to catch their breath, the second wave of attacks arrived. With no ammunition left, the Sichuan Army soldiers silently mounted their bayonets. Many soldiers drew out their machetes and stared at the approaching Japs.

The battle started in close combat. The Japanese rushed forward shouting. The Sichuan Army was in a dominant position and chopped at the heads of the Japanese with their swords. Chen Feng couldn't bear to watch. The battle had come to this point and the squad was useless. What a pity, such a pity. If the Sichuan Army had replenished some ammunition and manpower, the Japanese would not have been able to take the position in three more days.

The Sichuan Army was almost wiped out, and the lightly wounded soldiers also picked up machetes and joined the fight. The Japanese troops behind them also followed, with layer after layer of shining bayonets. As some seriously wounded soldiers fired the glorious bullets, two Sichuan Army regiments were completely wiped out.

The team members were furious, but they all remained restrained, knowing that going up now would not change the situation. They just looked at the captain with expectation. Chen Feng noticed that many of the Japanese had wooden-handled grenades on their waists, not the melon-shaped grenades unique to the Japanese army. He was very curious and thought carefully that they might be captured by the Japanese army in the Northeast or other places. Chen Feng said to them:

Take the bandages and muskets and some money and go to the nearby farmers to buy thin wires. The more the better. Don't use the kind that breaks when pulled. Come back before nine o'clock in the evening. Be careful. The rest of you should stay alert and continue to observe. Sniper and I will go to bed and we will act at night.

The team members didn't know what the thin wire was for, but Liu Caiyun and Heiwa still obeyed the order and set off. Chen Feng and Li Ergou found a grass nest and began to rest immediately. Two of the remaining team members were on guard while the other continued to observe. The Japanese occupied the Sichuan Army's position and did not advance. They threw the bodies of the Sichuan Army into a deep ditch in the west, poured several barrels of gasoline into the ditch, and began to burn them. The remaining Japanese began to enter the position, renovated the position, and made a defense towards the Xianghe area.

As night fell, Zhang Liang, who was in charge of observation, found in the dim light of the sunset that only one or two squads of Japanese soldiers were left on the battlefield, but many Type 92 machine guns were placed at the front of the battlefield. The rest of the Japanese soldiers retreated to rest.

Liu Caiyun and Heiwa came back with a lot of reels. Chen Feng pulled the thread ends and tugged. It didn't break. Very good. After a simple meal, Chen Feng assigned combat tasks:

Chen Feng, wearing the military police uniform from last time, sneaked into the Japanese military camp with Li Ergou, trying to sneak in at 10 o'clock and leave before 12 o'clock. Li Ergou wore an ordinary Japanese military uniform. The two brought wire reels. The Japanese were tired after a day and must have slept very soundly. After entering the military camp, the two used the excuse of checking the Japanese tents to set up booby traps in the tents with the grenades of the sleeping Japanese. If they encountered melon grenades, they would give up and only set up wooden handle grenades, because melon grenades need to be knocked before they explode, and setting them up would have no effect. The rest of the team members moved to the periphery of the Japanese military camp and set up booby traps in front of them. If a Japanese got up at 12 o'clock and triggered the booby trap to cause an explosion, then the peripheral personnel would quickly fire to lure out the Japanese and then quickly retreat. Chen Feng would lead Li Ergou to mix into the attacking team and look for an opportunity to leave the military camp. If the explosion occurred in advance, the team would still gather in Duchang Lane and must get rid of the Japanese and not lead them into the nearby villages.

After the task was arranged, the few of them had a simple meal and began to rest. There were still a few hours before the action, and the Japanese camp was still celebrating, with ghosts howling and wolves howling. They had to wait until they fell asleep before taking action.
