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

Because of Chen Feng's joining the team, Daya has been trained into an excellent soldier of the Jiaolong Regiment. She was promoted to squad leader last month and also served as the leader of the communications group of the regiment. She is responsible for the external communications of the Jiaolong Regiment with six or seven sisters.

Wang Dalei became excited the moment he received the order. It had been more than five months since the captain left and no longer cared about them. Many veterans were still discussing whether the captain had forgotten about them. Wang Dalei knew well that the captain's plans were all long-term plans, and action had been taken in five months, which was much earlier than he had expected.

The Jiaolong Regiment left Guancaowang, saying they were gathering for training. Only Daya's father noticed something was wrong. His daughter went home and hurriedly packed some things, her eyes full of worry and reluctance. Lao Liang understood that they were leaving, most likely to go to war. To the north is the direction of Shijiu, where there are no Japanese invaders. Further north is Qingdao, so they should be going to Qingdao, right?

Although he was worried, Lao Liang did not ask a single question. His daughter was a communications soldier, so she should not have to fight directly with a gun! Lao Liang waited for the village to quiet down. Suddenly, he felt empty in his heart. He did not want to cook dinner anymore. He sat in the small yard, enjoying the sea breeze and smoking a pipe.

The team left the village and five kilometers to the north was a pick-up convoy. The convoy was a transport team that transported seafood from Lanshan to Linyi. There were fifteen trucks, and they would transport the Jiaolong Group to the outskirts of Qingdao in half the night.

Before boarding the bus, Wang Dalei made a mobilization speech.

"Brothers and sisters, our Jiaolong Regiment has been established for nearly half a year. This is the first mission. Many people are shouting whether the captain has forgotten us. Let me tell you, the captain once said that the reason we are called the Jiaolong Regiment is because we are the most important navy of the Yimeng Guerrillas. We usually don't take action, but when we do, we are like a dragon entering the sea."

"This mission is very important and risky. We need to work together with the elite special operations battalions of each regiment. The captain said that there is little hope, but if there is really hope, I don't want any team member to fail at the critical moment."

"Do you understand?"

"clear"!

"Okay, get in the car."

The Jiaolong Regiment set off. The gunners of the New Fourth Division and the Yimeng Guerrillas and the Jiaolong Regiment were the most important in this joint operation. The role of the gunners was to help attack Qingdao when the battle came, and to defend Qingdao when it was taken.

Regarding the mission of the Jiaolong Regiment, if there is no opportunity, they are just carrying out an ordinary training march; if there is an opportunity, then they will be pioneering and making progress for the Yimeng Guerrillas.

However, even if there was no gain, the Jiaolong Regiment would still be stationed in Qingdao. If they could not seize warships, there would be no problem in getting a few small and medium-sized merchant ships. Even if they were merchant ships, it would be better than training on a sampan. By modifying the land artillery and putting it on board, the Jiaolong Regiment's technical and tactical level could be rapidly improved.

While Chen Feng was attacking Qingdao, the battlefield in Zaoyi was in a fierce battle. Zaoyang City on the right wing, Qianjiang, Jianli and Shayang on the left wing all became meat grinders. The Japanese planes and heavy artillery bombarded indiscriminately, and the explosion effect was like plowing the land. When the Japanese stopped the attack, the National Army rearranged the trenches. Although the casualties were heavy, they were still within a certain range.

In the Qianjiang battlefield, Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division retreated after defending for one day, and was replaced by three Sichuan Army divisions that took turns defending. The three divisions were the 123rd Division led by Wang Zhiyuan, the 124th Division led by Zeng Xiandong, and the 125th Division led by Zeng Suyuan.

Although the three divisions did not have the powerful firepower of the 122nd Division, they had made up a lot of firepower eliminated from various corps. After the Battle of Xuzhou, the top leaders also stopped weakening the Sichuan Army. Although it was still the corps with the worst equipment of armaments, at least the combat units at the division level were equipped with artillery and enough light and heavy machine guns.

The Japanese army deployed large-scale bombing forces and infantry in the direction of Qianjiang. Only by taking Qianjiang could they avenge their humiliation. Facing the repeated attacks of 60,000 troops, the three Type B divisions gritted their teeth and held on for three days.

The 123rd Division in the middle was completely destroyed, but the officers and soldiers still showed no intention of retreating. Seeing that the 123rd Division had suffered heavy casualties, Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 45nd Army, ordered Chen Li's 127th Division of the 123th Army to fill in and defend the middle section of the Qianjiang position together with the remnants of the rd Division.

On the right wing of the Japanese army in the direction of Zaoyang City, in addition to the previous Type A division and a half-crippled mixed brigade, the Japanese army also deployed a detachment of 15,000 people and a tank regiment. With the addition of the tank regiment, the positions outside Zaoyang City were in danger.

Seeing that Zaoyang was falling, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, Sun Lianzhong, ordered Huang Qiaosong of the 30th Division of the 27th Army under Chi Fengcheng and Tian Wenqi of the 68th Division of the 119th Army under Liu Ruming to join the battlefield at the same time.

The addition of two Type B divisions replaced the 30th and 143rd Divisions, which had suffered heavy casualties. The two divisions retreated to Zaoyang City for rest and recuperation, but had to return to the battlefield even when the battle situation was deteriorating.

The fighting was equally fierce in the Jianli and Shayang directions of the Japanese army's left wing. The 11th Army of the 39th Army Group and the 33th Army of the 59rd Army Group also engaged in a stalemate with the Japanese attack forces.

The medium-sized battle turned into a large-scale battle, and the large-scale battle turned into a war of attrition. A large number of soldiers were killed or injured every day. On the Qianjiang position alone, there were five to six hundred bodies carried away every day, and seven to eight hundred wounded soldiers evacuated.

Penicillin played an important role. Some was allocated to each division-level unit, and each military headquarters also had some in stock. The group military region and the Fifth War Zone were also urgently mobilized.

After the lightly wounded were treated, they retreated to the next defense zone to join the reserve reinforcements. The seriously wounded were all transported to the county towns along the river from Yichang to Chongqing in boats under the cover of night. If the Fifth War Zone could not hold the Zaoyi area, the seriously wounded who had been treated would take up the banner of guarding the road from Yichang to Chongqing together with the retreating soldiers.

A small dose of penicillin changed the fate of the vast majority of seriously injured soldiers. Originally, at most 20% to 30% of this group of people would survive, but now at most 20% to 30% would die. Don't underestimate this positive and negative disparity. After the Zaoyi Campaign is over, perhaps there will be a few more battle-hardened veterans in the army.

The order was placed in Mengshan again. Chen Feng, who had already arrived in Ju County, received the news and telegraphed Liu Kuang and Lu Jianji to work hard on production. The company-level special operations teams of the guard regiment would continue to escort the troops. The trading object became Li Pinxian, the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla army cruising in the Dabie Mountains. During the Zaoyi Campaign, all orders were sold at half price.

It has been some time since Mr. Peng left. The Yimeng Pharmaceutical Factory has accumulated some inventory. A small special forces team of the guard regiment has set out. The special forces team ahead have already paved the way and are still active at night and hiding during the day. Penicillin has begun to be delivered to the Fifth War Zone in a steady stream.

The half-price penicillin earned Chen Feng a lot of favor in Chongqing and the Fifth War Zone. Even though it only went from one dollar per pill to two pills for one dollar, after the Zaoyi Campaign was over, the Fifth War Zone might be able to save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
