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

Zhang Liang turned around and patted Heiwa's head. The two had known each other since the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1937, and it has been almost three years now.

"Boy, you are out of date. The Japanese army didn't lose two divisions, but all four divisions, that's nearly 100,000 devils, which is almost the same as the ones eliminated in the Battle of Wuhan."

Ignoring the ecstatic Heiwa, Zhang Liang waved to Wu Tianxiang:

"Wu Tuan, it's time to show your skills, let's drive!"

"Okay, sit down."

Wu Tianxiang also turned around and patted Heiwa's head, then started the jeep.

"Second Battalion Commander, how was the fight in the hospital? Did you show any softness in your heart?"

Hei Wa smiled, revealing two rows of big white teeth:

"After the train station, I went to the hospital, which was run by the Japanese. There were no good people who could get in. They were all shot."

"You bastard, Chinese people also shoot guns?"

Wu Tianxiang stepped on the brakes and the car started to make a rumbling sound. This was a big deal. It was indeed a Japanese hospital and there was no shortage of Chinese patients there.

"Captain, keep driving. No, how dare I? I did what you told me to do. All the Japanese have been shot down. All the Chinese doctors have been captured and are on the truck. I promised them that we will release the wounded after daybreak when we have cured them."

Wu Tianxiang cursed with a smile and started the jeep again.

"Let them go back, we will definitely let them go, but we will publicize our policy at that time. We will keep a few of them if possible. I just sent a telegram home, wanting to ask the captain something. Li Yunyan replied that the captain was in surgery and had no time to deal with these trivial matters. Let us handle it ourselves. I guess the captain is almost exhausted"!

Zhang Liang sighed:

"Last time, our regiment joined forces with the Lunan Detachment to attack the Jinpu Line and Jitai Line, suffering huge losses. After the battle, the captain and the dean brought doctors to provide emergency assistance and performed surgery for more than 20 hours in a row. We are indeed short of doctors!"

The three of them drove and followed the team to retreat. The special operations company that went north to bomb the Jinpu Line also returned. The entire attack team withdrew from the city of Jinan with a great harvest. They also recruited two battalions of puppet troops for the New Fourth Division.

The team retreated very quickly. Lishan Gate was very close to the mountains. The last batch to withdraw were mechanized and cavalry troops. It was after dawn at six o'clock. Zhang Liang and Wu Tianxiang ordered their respective teams to hide. They had already entered the mountains. There was no need to be afraid even if the Japanese pursuers chased them along the retreat route. Besides, if the Japanese really chased them, they would definitely be eaten.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Japanese planes appeared. They first circled around Jinan City, and then headed straight for the southern mountains. After searching for ten minutes without success, some of them went to the direction of Mengshan, and dozens of them continued to circle in the southern mountains. After more than half an hour, the bombers began to lay eggs. Bombs whistled and fell on the "suspicious locations". Explosions were everywhere, which was a bit dangerous! The nearest bombing point was only 500 to 600 meters away from the hiding team. Fortunately, it was early summer. In autumn and winter, there would be several wildfires.

The Japanese bombers flew away and the team continued to hide. After more than 20 minutes, the team heading towards Mengshan came back, as if they had finished dropping bombs. They passed by the southern mountainous area without staying and flew directly to the northwest.

Before eight o'clock, 300 Japanese planes bombed three "suspicious locations", Huangcaomu Mountain, the southern mountainous area and Longmengou east of Ju County. The troops had already evacuated and hidden. The retaliatory bombing was just a way to vent their anger and did not cause any losses to the Yimeng guerrillas and the New Fourth Division.

The Second Regiment evacuated with the spoils of war. The southern mountainous area was not conducive to driving, so the Tiger Regiment only left more than 20 trucks for emergency use. The rest were driven away by the Second Regiment, which also took away dozens of trucks of spoils of war. Two jeeps were also driven away at the same time, which were all given to the captain.

The Second Regiment took the puppet army camp away, and all the seriously wounded were left behind. The medical forces of the Second Tiger Regiment and the abducted doctors devoted themselves to treating the wounded. More than 160 people were sacrificed from the two regiments, including more than 300 seriously wounded and more than 800 slightly wounded. These casualties were mainly caused by the attack on the gendarmerie battalion and the railway station.

At the foot of Mount Meng, the operation was still going on, but the tents were moved into the woods before dawn. While the tents and the wounded were being moved, Chen Feng and the medical staff had a simple breakfast. Li Yunyan took the opportunity to quietly report the situation on each front:

"Captain, all participating teams have cleaned up the battlefield and have returned to their defense zones or are on their way back. The troops on the road have already taken cover to prevent retaliatory bombings by Japanese aircraft."

"There has been no unusual movement by the Japanese defenders on the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line. The wounded soldiers of the New Fourth Division have passed Yinan and are avoiding Japanese aircraft. They are expected to arrive in three hours. Commander Shen is also on the way and is expected to arrive at noon."

"Chongqing has sent three telegrams, asking about the entire battle losses and achievements. We were going to publish the plain text message from the New Fourth Division in the newspaper this morning, but now we can only wait for additional printing."

Chen Feng swallowed a mouthful of pancake, washed his throat with millet porridge and ordered:

"Call Chongqing back and give a detailed account of the losses and achievements of each unit. There is no need to falsify or conceal the facts. The number of enemy troops killed is tentatively estimated to be over 80,000!"

Seeing the captain start eating pancakes again, Li Yunyan saluted and sent a message. I felt sorry for the captain! Now he has become a surgeon. I was about to see hope, but the New Fourth Division came again. Commander Shen is rich, can't he build a hospital? It's so annoying.

After breakfast, without waiting for the Japanese bombers to arrive, the medical staff continued to engage in the battle of surgery. There were anti-aircraft machine guns on the mountain, so they were not afraid of dive bombing by Japanese planes. As for high-altitude bombing, the chance of hitting was so high that if they really encountered it, it would only mean that the King of Hell was going to take them away.

At eight o'clock in the morning, plain text telegrams were flying all over the place, all with news of victory. Although it was only a battle in one province, and could even only be regarded as a Japanese encirclement and suppression campaign, the name of the Yimeng Guerrillas was included in it. The level of the battle instantly rose several levels, and the encirclement and suppression campaign also became more grand.

It has been a long time since the Battle of Changsha last year. We wiped out more than 80,000 enemies, wiped out three Type B divisions and one Type A division, and most importantly, captured the city of Jinan. Although we retreated after capturing Jinan, this was a great milestone. It was the first provincial capital city captured since the July 7 Incident.

At ten o'clock in the morning, at the urging of the top leaders in Chongqing, an extra edition of the newspaper came out. The top leaders thought that the Eighth Route Army on the Zhengtai Front was becoming too popular, and they had to let them know that they were just making small moves. The only thing that made the top leaders unhappy was the battle on the southern front, where the Lunan Detachment performed well, which was a little bit of an eyesore in the battle report.

The newsboys had a happy time again. They earned two days' money in one day and had no worries about sales. The Kuomintang-controlled areas seemed to feel that being one minute late would be disrespectful to the results of the war. The figure of more than 80,000 enemies killed also completely shocked the people.
