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

Until dark, the Japanese troops on the Jinpu Line and Lincheng did not respond at all, as if the mining area eight kilometers east of the railway line had nothing to do with them. The Guard Regiment began to transport coal, and their movements were cautious. Twenty trucks entered the mining area one by one to load coal, and then the next truck entered after leaving the mining area.

The imagined bombardment did not come, and both sides were carefully maintaining this fragile calm.

In Zibo, in the Jinling mining area, the New Fourth Division had no scruples at all. After the two regiments occupied the urban area and the mining area, they immediately launched a defense. The spoils were transported back to Menglianggu, and the iron and copper refined by the Japanese began to be transported to Mengshan.

Upon learning that the Yimeng guerrillas attacked Zibo and Lincheng for the purpose of transporting ore, Tada Shun was somewhat speechless. Lincheng was fine, it just produced less coal. Zibo was in trouble. The railway from Jinan to Qingdao passed through Zibo, and now it was completely cut off.

Tada Shun was very distressed. Should he fight back to occupy it? The two regiments of the New Fourth Division were easy to fight, but one move would affect the whole body. Now the whole Shandong Province still has more than 70,000 troops, nearly 30,000 of which are stationed on the Jinpu Line. More than 10,000 troops are needed in Qingdao City. There are also other cities to defend. The number of troops that can be mobilized is pitiful. It is not realistic to transfer troops from other directions. Should the Jiqing Railway Line be abandoned just like that?

On June 6, gold worth 15 million silver dollars was transported back, along with more than large yellow croakers, which was quite shocking. The four special operations platoons transporting penicillin were terrified all the way and never dared to move during the day. They marched at night and hid during the day. Especially when crossing the Jinpu Line, in order not to disturb the bunker defense system along the railway, the special operations team almost passed through the entire Xuzhou city with the gold.

There were more than 3,000 gold bars, one third of which belonged to the New Fourth Division. Shen Honglie took the gold bars in a jeep and a truck in a hurry. Like the Yimeng guerrillas, Shen Honglie also wanted to give the soldiers a holiday. Regardless of whether they were veterans or new recruits, as long as they did not have combat missions, each of them would receive ten dollars. Those who were in the base could take turns going home, and those who were outside the base could save them for the time being, as there would always be a chance to take them home.

On June 6, the arms ordered by Chen Feng arrived, including 19 large-caliber heavy machine guns and large-caliber mortars. Chen Feng did not need to be dispatched, but the two transport teams of the Second and Third Regiments carried out a joint transport to transport them back. They passed by Menglianggu and left some members for the New Fourth Division. Shen Honglie seemed to have learned to drive, and drove a jeep to deliver the money. A truck was used to transport the brand new yellow croakers.

There are three hundred and fifty mortars and three hundred and fifty large-caliber machine guns, with fifty each in each regiment that went down the mountain. At present, these two types of weapons are the strategic weapons of the Yimeng Guerrillas, and quality of weapons is more important than quantity.

At the foot of Mount Meng, Shen Honglie did not leave after delivering the gold bars. He was bored and watched Chen Feng and Lu Feihu try out the new weapons. The range of the 81mm mortar is three thousand meters. The independent regiment set up a target at the precise position of three thousand meters. It is not clear to the naked eye and can only be observed with a telescope. Not only Shen Honglie held the telescope, Li Yunyan and the others also came down to watch the fun out of boredom. Each of them had a 98k sniper rifle, but it was too tiring to hold it, so they lay in a slightly higher position waiting for the captain to fire.

Ten mortars were lined up in a row, and next to each mortar was a box of shells, so it was exciting to hear the sound. Chen Feng adjusted the shooting scale next to each mortar. The range was three thousand meters, and it was not easy to really shoot at three thousand meters. Chen Feng held up the telescope and looked at the ten targets in the distance.

"One round of test firing, fire!"

All, all, all, all!

Ten artillerymen let go at the same time, and ten shells slid into the gun barrel together.

At a distance of three thousand meters, the shell needs to fly for more than ten seconds.

In the telescope, a trail of dust suddenly rose from the target in the distance. The moment the dust rose, Chen Feng discovered that the ten explosion points were not in a straight line at all. Two were too far, three were not enough, and the one on the far right was crooked.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The smoke and dust rose for seven or eight seconds before the sound of the explosion was heard.

Chen Feng put down the telescope and quickly adjusted it. It took only three minutes for one person to adjust ten mortars. Chen Feng stepped back a few steps, raised the telescope and ordered:

"Nine rapid shots, fire!"

All, all, all, all!

All, all, all, all!

All, all, all, all!

boom! Boom boom boom!

After the third round of artillery shells were fired, smoke and dust rose up in front. Fortunately, the explosion points were basically in a straight line.

Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction. It was not bad, better than he had imagined. As long as the artillery was well trained, it could completely suppress the Japanese mortar positions and play a very powerful role in artillery harassment.

Next was the test firing of the M2HB Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun. The maximum effective range of the M2HB heavy machine gun is 12.7 meters. The controllable distance in actual combat is within a thousand meters. To hit a target beyond a thousand meters, unless it is a cluster of Japanese enemies or an armored vehicle or tank, it would take a large amount of bullets to hit the target. Chen Feng's target was a locust tree meters away. The trunk of the locust tree was very hard, and the -caliber bullet would definitely have a killing effect when hitting the locust tree.

Dada! Dada!

Chen Feng first tried burst shooting. The first two bullets missed the target, but the next few hit the target area. Two bullets hit the locust trees, sending sawdust flying. Two locust trees, each as thick as a bowl, were broken directly.

Da da da da da da!

As the continuous fire mode was turned on, bullets with tracers rushed towards the locust tree forest 1,200 meters away. Wood chips flew like an explosion. The hard tree trunks could not bear it at all. The front ones fell down, and the ones behind them broke as well. A magazine was emptied. Most of the locust trees in the locust tree forest were broken and the whole forest was in a mess.

Those who were watching were all stunned, especially Li Yunyan and Song Zihan, who kept holding the telescopes, their mouths wide open, and shock in their eyes behind the telescopes.

Shen Honglie looked very proud, this thing was indeed a powerful weapon!

"Brother, to be honest, it's a bit cruel!"

Chen Feng shook his numb arm holding the suppressed machine gun, feeling that this thing was not something that most people could operate.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? If you don't like it, I'll ask them to take it back and I'll return all the money to you."

"Brother, you misunderstood. I meant that it was a bit cruel to the machine gunner. If there was a group of Japanese soldiers in that forest, it would have been minced meat by now. Do you think the machine gunner would feel disgusted if all the bullets he fired were turned into minced meat paste?"

Li Yunyan and Song Zihan had enjoyed the sight to their heart’s content, but after hearing what Shen Honglie said which was disgusting, they didn’t dare to stay any longer and quickly held hands and went up the mountain.

"Okay, now I've given you the money, and I have to go back and have some fun. By the way, tell me first how to pair our new weapons together."
