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

The Japanese Army launched the Zaoyi Campaign, but no troops were mobilized on the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line, fearing that some snipers would take advantage of the large-scale battle to cause trouble behind the scenes. The North China Expeditionary Army Command withdrew a Type B division from Shanxi to join the defense sequence of the middle section of the Jinpu Line. The Central China Expeditionary Army Command withdrew a new detachment from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to join the defense sequence of the Longhai East Line, focusing on the defense of the Lianyungang area.

The latest strength of the two railway lines reached 65,000 people. Together with the defenders of Jinan and Qingdao, the Yimeng guerrillas did nothing but tied down 90,000 Japanese troops, which exceeded the three permanent Type A divisions of the Japanese army.

Chen Feng judged that the Zaoyi Campaign would last until at least the end of October. In two months, he still had to do something! Which direction?

If the Fifth War Zone has no power to resist, I don't mind taking two regiments to support it. Although it is thousands of miles away from the enemy-occupied area, a team of several thousand people can hide during the day and move around at night, with special forces guarding and clearing the way, there is still a chance that they can sneak into the Dabie Mountains.

It's not possible now. Most of the teams in the Five War Zones are ready to grab the heads and get the rewards. If I go there, I don't know who I might slap in the face. These teams are usually nice to each other, but if you really touch their cake, they won't draw their guns at you, but they will definitely curse you as a dog.

The Zaoyi Campaign must not cause trouble, and the Hundred Regiments Campaign is even less so. Let's not talk about whether it is necessary or not. Once we really go to support, first of all, the New Fourth Division will part ways with us under the threat of the top leaders, the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong Province will change dramatically, and the three forces will even quickly draw a line and argue with each other, and the good situation will be ruined in vain.

Since he couldn't intervene in the main battlefield, he could only fight on his own little piece of land. The Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line could not be moved for the time being, and they could not be defended even if they were moved. The Japanese were just slacking off, but they were not really weak. If they were really tortured to death, the best way he could think of was to desperately mobilize 100,000 troops, hold in one direction and use poison gas bombs to clear a path, and fight to Mengshan in one breath. He would bomb Mengshan and Menglianggu with poison gas bombs all day long. Even gods could not stop him. There was no reason why the Japanese couldn't think of the poisonous plan that he could think of, but everyone was just enduring it.

The Weixian area had been taken by the New Fourth Division. Except for those who were divided and annihilated, the rest of the few Japanese defenders fled. There were only two places to plan, Jinan or Qingdao. It was not difficult to capture Jinan, but the Jinpu Line divided Jinan into two. It was impossible to continue to divide the railway line north and south like Lincheng! Qingdao was easy to attack, but it was difficult to defend against naval guns. As long as the Japanese fleet was there, there was no way to get close to the sea for more than ten miles.

At the beginning of the Zaoyi Campaign, Chen Feng was in a state of confusion. He thought about attacking here and there all day, but he found that he couldn't do anything. On September 9, Shen Honglie couldn't sit still in Menglianggu anymore. He was bored and visited Mengshan to discuss the situation of the Zaoyi Campaign. The two chatted for a long time and moved to Qingdao. Shen Honglie inadvertently mentioned three words that made Chen Feng's eyes light up. Yes! Warships are not omnipotent! Light and heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery and field artillery can't do anything to him, what about coastal defense artillery?

Seeing that Chen Feng was interested in Qingdao, Shen Honglie seemed to have forgotten all the reasons why Chen Feng could not take action against Qingdao. He understood that what Chen Feng was most worried about were the Japanese warships, and instantly passed on the knowledge in his mind to Chen Feng.

"I have been hanging around Qingdao for many years. Although I haven't achieved anything and even lost the city of Qingdao, my familiarity with Qingdao is better than that of even the locals of Qingdao. Qingdao's permanent coastal defense batteries include Tuandao Battery, Taixizhen Battery, Yamen Battery, Bismarck South Battery, Huiquanjiao Battery, etc., while the land defense batteries include Bismarck North Battery, Irchis North Battery, etc.?"

"In addition, Germany had previously set up permanent defensive artillery batteries on high points such as Qingdao Mountain and Taiping Mountain to enhance its defensive capabilities. The Bismarck Battery on Qingdao Mountain is the most important one among them, with extremely strong defense and precision strike capabilities?"

Shen Honglie sighed:

"The Germans left long ago. It doesn't matter whether the German artillery is there or not. Given the importance the Japanese army attaches to Qingdao, the various artillery batteries will definitely be rearranged. There will definitely be coastal defense guns. There must be coastal defense guns."

"Brother Shen, don't be anxious. Qingdao can be attacked, but a perfect plan must be made. Last time they just robbed and ran, and their actions were quick. I guess either the land defense artillery had no artillery, or the land defense artillery did not react. I guess the Japanese did not take our threat to Qingdao seriously at all. It is very likely that they have no artillery. Don't be anxious. Qingdao has been attacked twice. The Japanese army will have to rearrange its defenses no matter how bad it is. Let the special forces investigate first. We have to defend against it this time. Let's go back and organize the artillery! This thing is purely technical, and it is not the same standard as mortars and field artillery."

Shen Honglie then took his leave. He suddenly felt that the Zaoyi Battle was just like that. There was nothing worth discussing. Whether the battle went well or badly, he had no right to participate. He could only wait and see the outcome.

After going down the mountain and getting in the jeep, Shen Honglie kept urging the driver to speed up. The driver was as steady as an old dog, and the guards in the truck behind couldn't even keep up and refused to step on the accelerator no matter what.

On September 9, the right wing of the Japanese army was still fighting in Zaoyang County. The two divisions and one brigade defending Zaoyang County did not retreat to the county. Instead, most of their forces were deployed outside the city. The Japanese army detected that the defenders were making some moves, but they did not expect such a big move. It had only been four or five days since they landed in Wuhan, and there was only an ordinary trench outside the city, but now it suddenly became four slanted segmented trenches.

Although these trenches caused great trouble to the Japanese attack, the original plan was to take over Zaoyang County within two or three days with the help of 18 heavy artillery. Now the two or three days plan has failed. It feels that if the battle continues like this, it may take twenty or thirty days.

On September 9, the left wing of the Japanese army also took action. Three divisions and a mixed brigade left Honghu, Jianli and Xiantao and attacked the national defense positions in Jiangling, Qianjiang and Shayang east of Jingzhou.

At the very center, heading towards Qianjiang, is the 122nd Division of the famous anti-Japanese general Wang Mingzhang. Although the top leaders did not attach importance to the Sichuan Army, they still took good care of the 122nd Division that had fought bravely in the defense of Teng County. Now the 122nd Division is a super reinforced division with 22,000 people in the division, and there are eight special operations regiments with a thousand people alone. Their weapons are all American equipment. A ragtag division has become the ace of aces. In addition to the blood shed by the officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division, it is also inseparable from the special relationship between Wang Mingzhang and the cold gun.
