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

The casualties and results were counted and reported to the regiment commander Zhang Xuanwu immediately. A Sichuan Army regiment had 1,800 people, and more than 400 were killed or wounded during the day. At night, more than 1,000 people launched a charge, resulting in 150 deaths and nearly 200 wounded. Most of them were killed by two heavy machine guns before rushing into the Japanese camp.

Zhang Xuanwu was in a heavy mood, but was immediately inspired by the results of the battle. He eliminated the brigade commander, Major General Yaezao Akashiba, and killed or burned 1,400 Japanese soldiers. He rushed into the military camp and carried out a long pursuit, and eliminated more than 900 people. It was a newly integrated temporary brigade of the Japanese army, and only 600 to 700 of the 3,000 soldiers who were not fully staffed escaped back to Zou County. The spoils of war were also considerable, including three tanks, two armored vehicles, twelve trucks, dozens of mortars, eight Type 92 infantry guns, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and more than 1,000 Type 38 rifles. There were not many artillery shells, but dozens of boxes of bullets and grenades were seized.

Before dawn, the regiment headquarters was not equipped with a radio, but there was a telephone to the 122nd Division Headquarters. Zhang Xuanwu returned to the position anxiously and reported the whole battle to the division commander in detail. Zhang Xuanwu did not forget his roots and emphasized the role of the Lone Wolf Commando. If there was no Lone Wolf Commando, not only would there be no victory, but they might not be able to hold the position tomorrow.

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang was greatly excited when he heard the news. While praising the Lone Wolf Commando, he also fully affirmed the heroic performance of the 722nd Regiment, especially Zhang Xuanwu's grasp of battlefield opportunities, which showed that he was a talented general.

The division headquarters sent a telegram directly to the 22nd Army, and the army headquarters did not delay and sent the news of victory to the Fifth War Zone Command.

Li Yunyan was on duty tonight. After receiving the telegram and translating it, her sleepiness instantly disappeared. Her first reaction was that the Lone Wolf Commando had appeared. Although they ran away like rabbits as soon as they appeared, at least the soldiers on the front line saw them in person!

Li Yunyan went straight to the commander's temporary residence and reported the military intelligence report of the 22nd Army. The duty staff officer was a little embarrassed. The commander had just lay down for less than an hour. He had been sleepless these days and his body was about to collapse. He used his eyes to ask Li Yunyan the importance of the military intelligence report. If it was general intelligence, could it be passed on tomorrow?

Li Zongren's voice suddenly came from inside the house:

It must be Yunyan! I haven't slept yet, where is the war?

Li Yunyan stood still and answered:

Report to the commander, the Lone Wolf Commando assisted the 722nd Regiment at the Longshan position north of Teng County in fighting a beautiful battle, killing Yaezao Akashiba and annihilating most of the Akashiba Brigade's forces.

Li Zongren was a little excited after hearing this. What a great victory! He turned on the light, put on his clothes, opened the door to let Li Yunyan and the duty staff in, took the telegram and started reading it.

After reading it, I felt refreshed and no longer sleepy. I thought that my subordinates were also overworked every day, so I didn't need to bother them. I'll talk about it tomorrow! Let's discuss how to take the opportunity to ask the headquarters for some support.

After sending Li Yunyan and the staff away, Li Zongren picked up the telegram and read it over and over again. Bombardment, bombardment again, the whole regiment charged, chased for more than ten miles, captured countless items, killed more than 2,000 enemies. Li Zongren seemed to see the situation on the battlefield, passionate shouts, endless chases, and the joy of victory. A telegram, however, was more refreshing than any panacea.

Chen Feng sent a truckload of mortars and artillery shells to the Sichuan Army, then left with his team members, found the supplies and equipment that had been hidden before, and prepared to find a place to have a good rest. After a week of continuous raids and fighting, although the team members were in high spirits, they were inevitably physically tired, which was not conducive to high-intensity raids and dangerous battles behind enemy lines. Although the six attacks had achieved remarkable results, Chen Feng understood that the role of his team would not have a big impact on the entire battle situation. With the arrival of Japanese supplies and reinforcements, the front line would be lost and Teng County would fall. His team had done its utmost to change the situation of the war.

It was almost dawn. In the commander's attendant's room, an officer was holding a sealed telegram and waiting for the commander to wake up. It was an urgent telegram from the Fifth War Zone. If it was at night, he would have to wake the commander up anyway. However, it was almost dawn and the commander would definitely get up within half an hour. This little time was not a big deal. When there was finally movement in the small building where the commander lived, the officer could not wait any longer and knocked on the door respectfully:

Report to the commander-in-chief, an urgent telegram has been received from the Fifth War Zone.

read!

The officer opened the telegram and read aloud:

Li Zongren, Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone, telegram:

At nine o'clock last night, the Lone Wolf Commando intercepted a truck of mortars and artillery shells, and launched an artillery attack on the Chishiba Brigade opposite the Longshan position at night. Because the Japanese army's tents were closely packed together, great casualties were caused.

After the bombardment was over, the Lone Wolf Commando delivered a truckload of supplies to the 772nd Regiment of the 122nd Division on the front line of defense. The regiment commander Zhang Xuanwu decisively ordered the two artillery platoons to continue firing. The Japanese soldiers were cleaning up the tents in the barracks and suffered heavy casualties. Zhang Xuanwu seized the opportunity and decisively launched a charge, broke into the Japanese barracks, and chased them for more than ten miles.

The 772nd Regiment killed more than 2,000 Japanese troops with more than 300 casualties and seized countless spoils of war. Only a few hundred of the remaining Japanese troops escaped to Zou County. In addition, after the battle, the body of the commander of the Akashiba Brigade, Yaezao Akashiba, was found to be riddled with holes.

In addition, the garrison regiment at the frontline was short of weapons and ammunition, and most of the time they could only fight the Japanese with bayonets and swords. The Teng County defense line was related to the success or failure of the Battle of Xuzhou, and we hoped that the headquarters would provide support quickly.

The commander-in-chief buttoned up his uniform and opened the door, feeling very happy:

Good news! Command:

Order the Central Daily News Agency of the Fifth War Zone to send people to Teng County to dig out all the information about this battle. I want to see the propaganda report tomorrow.

Order the frontline troops of the Fifth War Zone to transport all the bodies of the Japanese to Teng County. The Japanese have repeatedly denied their casualties. This time we will let the facts speak for themselves.

The commander frowned, thinking it would be inappropriate not to reward such a contribution. After thinking for a long time, he softened his heart:

A telegram was sent to Tang Enbo's troops to hand over all obsolete weapons and equipment to the theater command, and Tang Enbo was told that no discounts were allowed. As for how to distribute them, let Li Zongren worry about it!

The 772nd Regiment fought bravely and was rewarded with 50,000 oceans, and all officers were promoted twice.

Telegraph the Fifth War Zone, and ask them to find out the identity of this Lone Wolf Commando. As long as they are not from that side, I will reward them generously and make a big fuss about it.

Li Zongren received the telegram and quickly read it. After reading it all, he felt a little relieved, but also a little helpless. The commander was still as stingy as ever! He only gave one army's weapons and equipment, which were discarded by Tang Enbo's troops. But it was better to have them than nothing. At least it could ensure that the Sichuan Army at the front had a gun.

Seeing that the Central Daily News reporter was going to Teng County to take photos and report news, Li Zongren understood what the commander-in-chief meant. He wanted to use this battle as an example! Indeed, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, there has never been such a thrilling battle. It is also good to use it to boost the anti-Japanese war spirit.
