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

The old soldier liked the child very much. He blew a whistle, and suddenly a little black dog came out from the vegetable garden at the door, circled around the old soldier, wagging its tail.

"Little darling, do you want it?"

How could a child refuse a cute puppy? Xiaoguai nodded without any hesitation.

"Then I'll give it to you, take it home"!

Xiaoguai's family hurriedly expressed their gratitude. When the old soldier saw that the luggage had been moved into the yard, he said hello and left. The old soldier who helped carry the luggage also left. There were still vegetables in the garden and fields to take care of, so he came today just to say hello.

The Lu family was very satisfied with their new home. There were four large rooms with a separate kitchen and a large kang in the inner room. All the furniture was complete and the bedding was brand new. The roosters and hens in the chicken coop weighed two or three pounds each, so it was the perfect time to fry them if they were hungry. There was also a vegetable garden in the garden with green cucumbers, green and red persimmons, and dark green peppers that made your mouth numb just by looking at them.

Lu Jianji's mother didn't want to go into the house. After finding out that all the vegetables were hers, she skillfully planted the tomatoes. Lu Jianji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The old lady couldn't even walk after seeing such a vegetable garden.

Liu Minggui came here with his hands behind his back, doing nothing. Having been a landlord all his life, he suddenly didn't want to take care of the land anymore. The land at home was taken care of by Caiyun Niang. Fortunately, she only planted some vegetables, so it was not too tiring.

"Have you eaten? If not, I'll ask your aunt to make pancakes for you."

"Uncle Liu, I just finished eating. Don't bother me anymore. A new friend has come and settled down in this yard."

Liu Minggui greeted Lu Jianji very warmly. Seeing that Xiaoguai liked the food very much, he did not bother to chat with Chen Feng and took Xiaoguai and the little black dog home to get some radish to eat. They had just been picked from the mountain that morning and were red and sweet.

Seeing that Xiaoguai's mother was a little worried, Chen Feng explained with a smile that the village was full of family members and wounded soldiers of the Yimeng guerrillas, and there would be no danger. The old man just now was the father of the director of the Yimeng Hospital. He liked to stroll in the mountains when he had nothing to do. He must have prepared something that the child liked to eat. Lu Jianji's family was also very satisfied with the place, so there was no need to worry, and the child did not have to hide at home all day. He was free, truly free.

Lu Jianji did not wait until tomorrow and proposed to go to the pharmaceutical factory for inspection in the afternoon. Being serious and being perfunctory are two different things. When he learned that the Yimeng Pharmaceutical Factory produced penicillin, Lu Jianji did not want to wait a moment. Chen Feng took him to the factory, handed him over to Liu Kuang and then retreated. The first company was settled down, and all kinds of talents would arrive slowly in the future. With more talents, various researches could be subdivided. He had a lot of things in his mind, and if he just did something with it, he would be decades ahead of the actual level.

On August 8, when Chen Feng was busy welcoming the arrival of talents from all parties, the Fifth War Zone sent a secret telegram that the Japanese 28th Army in Wuhan had reinforced its troops. Originally, there were five divisions and one brigade of the Japanese army stationed near Wuhan. In three days, about two divisions and one brigade of troops landed in Wuhan. The National Army near Wuhan was still the main force of the Fifth War Zone. Li Zongren did not dare to neglect it and sent a telegram to ask Chen Feng for his opinion.

Chen Feng immediately determined the intention of the Japanese army. The little devils still refused to give up! Although the Battle of Wuhan was a victory, the main forces of the Fifth and Ninth War Zones were not damaged at all. The strategic goals formulated by the Japanese army before the war were not achieved at all. This was to take advantage of the residual power of Germany's victory over France to destroy the main force of the national army through a battle!

There is still more than a month before the alliance agreement is signed with Germany and Italy. They must be thinking of showing off their muscles before signing the agreement. Li Yunyan looked at the captain anxiously, expecting the captain to find something. After all, the troops outside Wuhan are all his uncle's troops. Chen Feng recalled the history of the Zaoyi Campaign, which should have been launched long ago. He thought that the Japanese army had no intention of actively attacking for the time being, but he made a wrong judgment. After many twists and turns, history has returned to the starting point.

The Zaoyi Campaign was a battle launched by the Japanese 2.5th Army stationed in Wuhan against the Chinese Fifth War Zone during the stalemate phase of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The battle ended with the Japanese occupation of Yichang. In this battle, although the Japanese army occupied Yichang, they failed to defeat the main force of the Fifth War Zone and suffered heavy losses, with casualties.

"Reply, I judge that the Japanese army's intention should be Zaoyang and Yichang areas. The Japanese army's intention of attacking Zaoyang area is to destroy the main force of Sun's Second Army on the left wing of the Fifth War Zone, and to destroy the 39th Army and 84th Army of Huang's Eleventh Army of the Central Army at the same time."

"The purpose of attacking the Yichang area is to eliminate the main force of Zhang's 33rd Army on the right wing while the opportunity arises, and to eliminate the 22nd and 31st Armies while the opportunity arises, occupy Yichang City, and open the gateway to Shuzhong. Please be prepared, Commander-in-Chief."

Li Zongren was stunned for a moment after receiving the secret message. Did the Japanese have such a big appetite? With only two reinforcement divisions and one brigade?

However, when I saw the words "open the gateway to Shu", I broke out in a cold sweat. Yichang is too close to Chongqing. The distance of several hundred kilometers is very far, but if the Japanese really achieve their strategic goals, will there be any troops left to defend the west?

It takes time to mobilize troops! In addition, the Japanese army is best at plotting and attacking. Once the attack begins, they will definitely make a foolproof plan.

"Staff Officer Liu, please send the telegram intact to Chongqing. Please ask the Ministry of National Defense to take it seriously. Although the Japanese troops have not increased much, their strategic purpose is not small."

In Chongqing, the top brass were also confused after seeing the telegram. They knew that the Japanese 11th Army had increased its troops, with two long-term divisions and a mixed brigade, totaling more than 50,000 troops. They originally thought that it would be to strengthen the defense of Wuhan to prevent themselves from counterattacking Wuhan, but they didn't expect that the appetite was so big that they actually planned to attack Chongqing. After the shock, there was an unreasonable atmosphere. Did they really think they were a soft persimmon?

If there was still a hint of doubt about Leng Qiang's telegram two years ago, after two years of verification, what Leng Qiang said is now the truth.

"Send a telegram to Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, to let him mobilize all the corps in the war zone. Don't the Japanese want to launch a surprise attack? We should also mobilize secretly and catch them off guard. Send a telegram to Huang's 11th Army, send a telegram to Zhang's 33rd Army, and send a telegram to Tang's 31st Army. Tell the three of them to say that it was the old man who said so and to cooperate with Li Zongren's mobilization unconditionally. This battle must be fought with the style of the Central Army. If there is any problem, I will hit his head."

"Also, send a telegram to Li Pinxian, the commander-in-chief of the Dabie Mountain Guerrilla Army, and tell him that he will be temporarily assigned to the Fifth War Zone. The opportunity has come, and it depends on his ability whether he can give the Japanese army a bad blow."

After arranging the telegram, the top brass was still indignant. "Fuck you, you son of a bitch," they blurted out in their newly learned Sichuan dialect. They listened to the advice of the little Zhuge and didn't plan to take action, but the little devils were impatient. In one word, beat them! They must beat them hard.
