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

Chen Feng rubbed his sore shoulders.

"These two weapons are of strategic level to us. There is no need to use them in ordinary battles. But we must train well and don't be afraid of wasting ammunition. We have enough ammunition. These two weapons are only issued to combat units at the battalion level and above."

"The main function of the mortar was to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army's marching troops, attack the Japanese army's mountain artillery and field artillery positions, use the range advantage to destroy the Japanese army's mortar positions, and at the same time cause casualties to the large-scale charging Japanese."

"The main function of the heavy machine gun is to deal with the opponent's heavy firepower, whether it is tanks, light or heavy machine guns, and yes, cavalry. This thing is most fun to use against cavalry."

Shen Honglie shuddered at the thought of dealing with the cavalry. Bullets of this caliber would not only make people's flesh and blood fly, but also the horses would not be able to withstand it! Wherever they hit, there would be explosions. With several heavy machine guns guarding, how could the cavalry rush over?

After seeing off Shen Honglie, Chen Feng arranged for Li Yunyan to send telegrams to all the regiments that had gone down the mountain, asking them to pay attention to the new weapons after they arrived. They should not make do with large-caliber machine gunners and artillerymen, and both arms should be selected and appointed.

The Japanese army abandoned two mining areas and the Jiqing railway line was also interrupted. Perhaps this was only temporary. Chen Feng admired Tada Shun's understanding very much. He believed that only a real man could bend and stretch. Otherwise, he must test the power of the new weapons on the entire line.

The mountains northeast of Lincheng have now become the world of the First Regiment and the Guard Regiment. In addition to the garrison, both teams have developed countless civilian forces. Every township has an anti-Japanese militia organization, and almost every village has a village protection combat team. They are fully equipped with Japanese-style equipment, and the Type 38 rifle is standard. They have no shortage of melon grenades and bullets. The township teams are even equipped with Type 99 light machine guns. They train during the slack season and farm during the busy season. The anti-Japanese armed forces have grown in scale.

Beizhuang Town, the once wealthy Zhang family has moved away. It is said that they made a fortune doing business outside. Not only the young man from the Zhang family has made a fortune, but according to reliable sources, the three young men who followed the young man from the Zhang family after going to Gushan are also doing well.

Behind Gaoshan, Chen Feng was doing the work of his father Chen Weiping. Heiwa's parents and Caiyun's parents had already thought it through and decided to settle down in Mengshan to be closer to their son and daughter. There was nothing to be reluctant about in these chaotic times. Liu Minggui didn't even feel sorry for his own land. Heiwa's parents were even happier. Since their son had become a high-ranking official, they must follow him to enjoy the good life. There was nothing worth reminiscing about in a broken home.

At the instigation of his daughter, Liu Minggui divided up all the family's land and announced to the public that the whole family would follow his daughter to a big city to enjoy a good life and that they would never farm again in this life. This caused a huge uproar in the village. The children of the three families had not been seen for several years. Although they had gone out to do business with the Zhang family of Beizhuang, they were born in such a turbulent time and no one knew what was going on. Now it is confirmed that the children of the three families have really made a fortune and become successful.

In the main hall of Chen Feng's house, several people were trying to persuade Chen Weiping, who was in a state of depression. Liu Minggui was the most active.

"Brother, are you reluctant to give up those few acres of land? Learn from me. I have given away more than 20 acres of land."

Liu Caiyun rolled her eyes, wondering who was the one who was crying secretly last night, and kept muttering that he was sorry to his ancestors.

Chen Weiping puffed on his pipe. It was not that he was reluctant to give up his two acres of land. Firstly, his wife was buried on the mountain, and there would be no one to send incense and paper money when he was gone. Secondly, he was an old man and could not help his children, so he did not want to disturb them.

"Uncle Chen, we have built a village at the foot of Mount Meng. It has houses and land. It is close to us and safe. You also know Xiaofeng's situation. If the Japanese really know that you are here, they will capture you no matter what the cost. Then they will use you to threaten Xiaofeng. Do you think Xiaofeng will do everything he can to rescue you?"

Chen Weiping couldn't remain silent anymore. His children were grown up now. He could ignore his brother's words, but he couldn't ignore what a good child said.

"Caiyun, Xiaofeng's mother is still buried in the mountain."

Chen Feng quickly expressed his opinion:

"Dad, our move is only temporary. We can come back immediately after defeating the Japanese. Besides, this area is our team's base, so we can come back anytime we want."

Heiwa's father Tian Fuli also advised:

"Brother, don't be stubborn. Don't make things difficult for the child. It doesn't matter where we live. We're not going far. There's nothing I can do to help in other ways. But if you can make the child worry less, then that's helping him."

Chen Weiping knocked the ashes out of his pipe and put the pipe on his waist.

"You guys sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to clean up."

This means they have agreed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Minggui began to arrange lunch and said to Caiyun's mother and Heiwa's mother:

"You go to my house to prepare meals. Pack up in the morning and have lunch before leaving. It will be like a moving banquet. Prepare some offerings. I will take Caiyun to the ancestral grave to pay homage later. Prepare some extra and give one portion to Xiaofeng so that he can go and say goodbye to his mother."

The village's woodlands are all on a hillside. Heiwa and his son, Liu Caiyun and his daughter, and Chen Feng himself were all saying goodbye to their ancestors and family members. Chen Weiping did not come, or perhaps he had been there last night. There was some cigarette ash in front of Chen Feng's mother's grave, and it seemed that he had been smoking here for half the night.

Chen Feng knelt in front of the grave, burning paper money in a daze. He had been in this world for almost three years. The old Chen Feng had long gone, and perhaps he had reunited with his mother now. Would they be angry with him? Definitely not. Perhaps the old Chen Feng was looking at him, thanking him for coming and giving his father a son who could make him proud.

After the paper money was burned, the ashes rose into the air in front of the grave, circling for a long time, as if reluctant to dissipate.

"Don't worry! Dad, I'm here and I will definitely help you take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life."

A breeze blew, and the ashes were carried down the hillside, floating towards the direction of the village.

"Xiaofeng. Are you okay? My dad asked you to come over."

Seeing Chen Feng nod and pack up the basket, Liu Caiyun came up to help:

"Xiaofeng, my father's demands may be a little excessive, so please don't make things difficult for me."

Chen Feng turned his head and glanced at Sister Caiyun, whose face was as red as a persimmon in autumn. Is it so hot? What kind of excessive request made Sister Caiyun, who was always carefree, become like this?

The two men came to the Liu family tomb. The memorial service here had already ended. Liu Minggui stood alone in front of his ancestor's tomb, looking a little desolate. Seeing Chen Feng and his daughter coming over, he nodded and greeted Chen Feng.

"Xiaofeng, can you do me a favor?"

He wouldn't ask me to kowtow, would he? Chen Feng's mind raced for a moment, it must be so, maybe in his eyes, he was already the son-in-law of the Liu family, combined with Sister Caiyun's blushing face, it was not hard to guess.

"Uncle, please tell me! It would be awkward for us to talk about helping each other."

"There is no boy in my family. When I was burning paper money just now, the ashes kept swirling. It must be that our ancestors were dissatisfied. My request is a bit excessive. Can you kowtow for your sister Caiyun? Just consider it as my uncle begging you. I will leave my hometown soon. I don't want to leave any regrets for my ancestors."
