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

The repair of the Jitai Line was very fast, firstly because the distance was relatively short, and secondly because the Japanese army had deployed a large number of troops.

On May 5, the Japanese army began to move. Perhaps it was a revenge for the unscrupulous cold gun, or perhaps it was a revenge for the heavy losses caused to Japan by the cold gun's assassination thousands of miles south. The headquarters formulated a mopping-up plan code-named "Thunder". A new Type B division was deployed on the Longhai East Line, which was affiliated with the Central China Expeditionary Force. A Type A division was deployed in the middle section of the Jinpu Line, which was affiliated with the North China Expeditionary Force. Half a division was mobilized from the Longhai Line and Jinpu Line that were open to traffic, and two Type B divisions transferred from the mainland were combined. One-third of the troops were drawn from the two railway lines. It was estimated that 25 troops would launch a siege on the Yimeng base.

Each regiment that had gone down the mountain sent news of the Japanese army's assembly, and Chongqing also sent news of the Japanese army's troop deployment. After a long period of no major fighting, the headquarters could no longer hold back.

Although it is not known whether the Japanese army will deploy additional forces, the cost of attacking the base with only two or three divisions is very high. After several simulations, Chen Feng determined that the Japanese army will still deploy troops, either from the Kwantung Army or from the mainland. If nothing unexpected happens, the possibility of deploying troops from the mainland is greater, and will not be less than one Type A division or two Type B divisions.

In order to create pressure on the defenders along the railway, Chen Feng decided to take the initiative.

On May 5, the 26st and nd Regiments of the Yimeng Guerrillas and the Tiger Regiment of the Guards launched an attack on the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line, using hundreds of rocket launchers to blast open the turtle shell of the Japanese railway line. Each regiment blew up two luxurious bunkers of the Japanese army. Hundreds of explosive packs were piled on the railway line. After a loud bang, four bottomless pits appeared on the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line.

Chen Feng told Tada Shun and Anami Korechika clearly that no matter how tight the defense of the Jinpu Line was, he had a way to break in. It was up to you to decide whether to deploy troops to participate in the attack or to defend.

At the same time, the Chongqing high-level officials sent a telegram to the New Fourth Division and northern Shaanxi, stating that in this defense battle, the New Fourth Division and the Lunan Detachment would completely obey the cold gun orders and made it clear to northern Shaanxi that there was no room for bargaining. Northern Shaanxi and the headquarters leaders had just received the support of penicillin from the Yimeng guerrillas and had just attracted the Japanese army's cage policy. Naturally, they did not want to make any discounts. The telegram was forwarded to the Lunan Detachment, and two big guys were famous.

Yang Qingfeng also understood the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold". He sent a telegram to Mengshan, and was working hard to mobilize troops. Five thousand troops could be urgently mobilized in one day and one night, and another three thousand troops would be assembled as reinforcements within three days. The only situation was that heavy firepower was insufficient. If Mengshan had surplus, he could borrow some of the heavy firepower and guarantee its return after the battle.

Chen Feng had already informed Yang Qingfeng of the Lunan Detachment that he could not provide support openly, but he would definitely ask for help when he had the chance. This time was a good opportunity. Chen Feng took the telegram from Li Yunyan and frowned in front of Song Zihan.

"This Yang Qingfeng really knows how to find the right time to lend a hand."

Seeing that the captain was still "hesitating", Lu Feihu next to him said:

"Captain, we still have hundreds of Japanese light and heavy machine guns on the mountain. These things will only rust if left on the mountain. Why don't we throw them to them! After this battle, there probably won't be many left."

Chen Feng nodded in agreement, and arranged to send two hundred rocket launchers and a corresponding number of rockets to each regiment going down the mountain. The guard regiment had a heavy defensive task, so it received four hundred.

On the night of May 5, south of Pingyi City, Lin Chuan and Yang Qingfeng made a handover of 26 Japanese Type indirect-fire guns, shells, Type heavy machine guns, Type light machine guns, about machine gun shells, Type rifles, more than rifle shells, and boxes of newly produced penicillin, with a total of . Finally, the two men made a handover of rocket launchers, and the rocket launchers had to be returned after the war, and the remaining rockets had to be returned as well.

The weapons and equipment for the cold gun support this time are enough to develop a division. Judging from the number of pieces, this is also the last batch of Japanese equipment in Mengshan. Yang Qingfeng's face is heavy. In the past, he might be ecstatic to see such support. Considering that the Japanese army may have no less than 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress, Yang Qingfeng knows that it is time to fight to the death.

On May 5, the final Japanese troops participating in the attack arrived. Similar to what Chen Feng had judged, two Type B divisions landed and assembled along the coast of Shijiu.

So far, all the attacking teams have arrived, new troops have arrived on the Longhai East Line, new troops have arrived on the Jinpu Line, and the Japanese defenders on the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line have close to zero troops. If all are deployed at all costs, there will be troops. Considering the importance of the Jinpu Line and the Longhai Line, this is unlikely. It is estimated that only the Japanese army will participate in the attack.

As the defending side, each of the regiments that went down the mountain had grown to 3000 troops, the Mengshan Independent Regiment had 3000, the Yimeng Guerrillas had a total strength of 7000 troops, the Lunan Detachment had urgently assembled troops, plus the original people in Nishan, the total strength was . The New Fourth Division had troops, and the three had a total of people and horses. In terms of firepower configuration, except for heavy artillery that was inferior to the Japanese army, all other aspects were better than the Japanese army.

At noon on the 28th, when two Type B divisions of the Japanese Army landed, Chen Feng issued combat orders. The defense of the two divisions on the east side was handed over to the New Fourth Division, the Type B division on the south side (the Longhai East Line might send more than troops) was handed over to the Lunan Detachment and the rd Regiment of the Yimeng Guerrillas, and the Type A division of the Japanese Army on the Longhai Line on the west side (the defenders of the Jinpu Line might send to troops) was handed over to the st Regiment, nd Regiment, Guard Regiment and Tiger Regiment of the Yimeng Guerrillas. The special operations battalion of the Tiger Regiment was responsible for blowing up the newly built Jinan Zhangzhuang Airport. The New Fourth Division organized a strengthened special operations regiment to blow up the two airports repaired by the Japanese Army in Qingdao last month. The Jiaolong Regiment would take action according to the situation of the Japanese troop transport ships and warships.

On the night of the 28th, before the Japanese army took action, the Eighth Route Army, which was in the cage policy, took action first. Dozens or even hundreds of regiments emerged overnight, turning the Zhengtai Line and Shanxi and Hebei into a mess. On the same night, in Hunan, the commander of the Ninth War Zone of the National Army, Xue *, ordered the bombardment of the north bank of the Xinqiang River. At the same time, the Fifth War Zone gathered troops and posed a threat to the cities around Wuhan occupied by the Japanese army.

The battle here has not started yet, but there are problems in three important battlefields. In Japan, the atmosphere of the emergency meeting at the headquarters is heavy. This is really a matter of one move affecting the whole body! Leng Qiang is just a guerrilla leader. Is it worth it for you to make a big fuss? What about the agreement that the North and the South will not get along? What about the agreement that we will have our own troops?

Although some people raised objections to the attack on Mount Mengshan, they were quickly drowned out by the saliva of the war advocates. The arrow was on the string and a devastating blow had to be dealt to the empire's archenemy.
