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

They ran back from the artillery position and waited for the Japanese cavalry to catch up. In just a few minutes, the artillery and special forces ran back more than a thousand meters, jumped over the trenches, and threw the mortars on the ground. Everyone was breathing heavily. It was too tense and exciting. But then it was time to watch the machine gun show.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck!

Da da da da da da!

Since it was a surprise artillery attack, and since they knew that the Japs had a cavalry regiment, how could they be unprepared? Twelve anti-aircraft machine guns, twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns, and twenty-four Type 92 light machine guns opened fire simultaneously the moment their own artillery returned. Countless chains of fire formed a barrage, and the bullets hit the horses and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers with a puffing sound, and the pursuing Japanese soldiers were thrown to the ground.

"Stop chasing and retreat"!

The commander of the Japanese cavalry regiment shouted anxiously, but the horses were speeding up and it was not so easy to stop. Seeing that the cavalry was about to rush towards the machine gun position, the special forces members did not even have time to rest and opened fire with submachine guns.

Tart tart tart tart tart tart!

More than a hundred fire chains joined the barrage, making the blockade even more impenetrable.

The cavalry that rushed forward were almost dismembered, and those behind them stopped and retreated. There was absolutely no hope for the cavalry to attack such a machine gun position.

Seeing the Japanese retreating, the machine gunners raised their machine guns and ran. This time they did not run due west, but evacuated urgently to the northwest. After a short rest, the artillerymen also raised their mortars and continued to run. The special forces members retreated while firing. Every second they ran earlier meant a little more safety.

Sure enough, just over a minute after the special forces ran out, the mountain artillery in the Japanese army camp sounded, and there were explosions on the machine gun positions. Just two minutes after the firing, the artillery fire extended very quickly, and within a minute it exceeded the parallel position of the fleeing team. Whether it was the artillery machine gunners or the special forces, they were all scared. It turned out that what the cold gun captain taught was reliable! If they had continued to run west just now, I don’t know how many people would have been killed. When the cavalry came to clean up the mess, it is estimated that no one would be able to escape.

The Japanese cavalry followed the extended artillery fire and advanced all the way to the maximum range of the artillery fire, but did not find any trace of the attackers. Knowing that the attackers had changed their route, the regiment commander did not dare to search around. The cold gun team was elusive and always hard to guard against. Perhaps there was a machine gun position waiting for them somewhere, so he turned his horses around and returned.

Hundreds of people from the New Fourth Division were still fleeing at full speed. The range of the Japanese 75 mountain artillery was more than six kilometers, and they had to escape from the range to be safe. Tonight's sneak attack was quite exciting. The Japanese had a cavalry regiment and mountain artillery and field artillery, and they were able to escape without any mistakes. If there was any entanglement, the entire army might be wiped out tonight. The reason for taking such a big risk in the sneak attack was that it would be more difficult to fight after daybreak.

The two Japanese division commanders, Hirano Ayaki and Motoki Shinichiro, were going crazy. The military camp suffered huge losses from the bombardment, and the key point was that the attackers were not caught, and no one was found alive or dead. A cavalry regiment pursued them but returned empty-handed. Motoki Shinichiro slapped the cavalry regiment commander several times, making him very happy. The division commander Hirano Ayaki next to him persuaded:

"Mr. Yuanmu, don't blame Colonel Mito. It may be a good thing not to search. Based on my understanding of Leng Qiang, any sneak attack plan he makes will be flawless and will not leave us any chance."

"Hey, Hirano-kun, have you figured out the losses?"

"They're out. Fortunately, we were well prepared and the military camps were relatively scattered. In the previous wave of artillery fire, more than 400 warriors were killed, more than 700 were seriously injured, and nearly 900 were slightly injured. Before the formal battle, the two battalions lost their combat effectiveness. Captain Cold Gun lives up to his reputation"!

"By the way, Mito Hirayama, how much losses did your cavalry regiment suffer?"

The cavalry commander lowered his head even lower:

"Your Excellency General, the minefield just now caused more than 200 casualties, and the machine gun position caused more than 500 casualties. Except for the more than 300 brave warriors who died in battle, most of them were seriously injured with broken arms and legs."

"Damn it! Does the cavalry have to gather together for a charge? Half of the 1,600 warriors were lost, and not a single attacker was caught. What a stupid command."

"Mr. Yuanmu, don't be angry. Tomorrow morning, we will let Leng Qiang know how powerful we are. Isn't he good at sneak attacks and night battles? We just won't give him the chance in the future. Starting from tomorrow night, the guards will be sent one thousand meters outside the military camp, and the cavalry will patrol another one thousand meters. I don't believe they dare to fire."

"Mr. Hirano, the team facing us may not be a sneak attack team. This area is the defense zone of the New Fourth Division of the Chinese National Army. The team that ambushed us may be the New Fourth Division."

"Nani"?

Hirano Ayaki was surprised. She had nothing to say about being shot like this, after all, countless soldiers had died at his hands. But being shot like this by the Chinese National Army, Hirano Ayaki always felt like being abused by a beggar. The light of the cold gun was too bright. Most Japanese commanders believed that the New Fourth Division was just following behind to take advantage of the situation. This sudden news made Hirano Ayaki feel indescribable, just like a girl who had lost her virginity. She thought it was her male god, and was still crying sadly waiting for his comfort and reassurance, but a bald and greasy uncle popped out of the quilt. The girl wanted to die.

The New Fourth Division's troops did not retreat. After exiting the range of the mountain artillery, they replenished their artillery shells. The machine gunners replenished their machine gun shells and went five kilometers north to set up positions. The artillery and special forces detoured to the south side of the Japanese army camp. There were still more than two hours before dawn, and the artillery positions had been calculated. The Japanese would never have thought that they would dare to launch a sneak attack, so they had to give them another try.

At 4:30 in the morning, the surprise attack troops rode back to the high ground on the east side of the military camp and set up an artillery position. After the battle, they had to run north and simply dismantle the mortar to escape on horseback. Shen Honglie had a lot of cool moves, such as riding a horse to fire rocket launchers and riding a horse to carry cannons. These were all practiced repeatedly. Perhaps Shen Honglie himself did not expect that they would be useful one day.

At 4:45 in the morning, dozens of mortars were set up again and aimed at the direction of the Japanese artillery positions. The Japanese barracks were brightly lit and they were treating the wounded and disposing of bodies. It was somewhat difficult to attack the barracks from this position, but there was no problem attacking the artillery positions. Sixty-eight mortars opened fire, and this time they had to be dismantled, so there was only time for ten rapid shots.

Within half a minute, more than 600 shells hit the Japanese artillery positions. Even if only half of them hit the target, it was still a heavy blow for the Japanese artillery positions. After being attacked and counterattacked, the mountain artillery positions had not been cleaned up, and the shell boxes were piled up around the mountain artillery, some of which were still open.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The dense explosions of artillery shells detonated the mountain artillery shells.

boom! boom! boom!

The violent explosion sent flames and mushroom clouds shooting straight up into the sky.
