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

The old lady prepared the meal early, cooking a pot of fatty meat and cabbage, and a basket of sweet potato noodles. Lu Feihu helped to bring it over, and the three of them ate together. Although Chen Feng was not hungry, he could not resist the old lady's enthusiasm and ate five large pot stickers and two large bowls of cabbage. The old lady did not stop until she saw that Chen Feng really could not eat anymore. She felt reluctant to see her son go, but considered that if he was caught by the Japanese, it would be best for him to do hard labor. If the matter of killing the Japanese was exposed, he would be shot. Chen Feng, this young man, looked like a serious person, upright, and very graceful in his words and deeds. His family also ran an oil mill, so her son would have work to do and would not starve.

The sky was getting a little dark, Lu Feihu had already packed his bag. Chen Feng saw some hard stuff wrapped in clothes in the bag. The old lady also packed a bag of dry food for the two of them. She gave her son earnest advice for a long time. Lu Feihu's eyes were a little red, he didn't know when they would see each other again.

The old lady heard more footsteps outside and knew that the Japanese had retreated. She opened the door and waited for a while. Seeing that no one on the street was paying attention to this side, she waved to the two of them. When Chen Feng and Lu Feihu walked out of the door and were about to turn around and say goodbye, the old lady called softly:

Don't look back, just go.

Chen Feng and Lu Feihu hurriedly left the door of their home. There were many pedestrians on the street, most of them were hurriedly carrying something, and it seemed that they were buying some daily necessities while the Japanese were away.

After leaving the house, Lu Feihu concealed his sadness and asked Chen Feng what the next step would be. When he heard that he was going to the station to investigate the warehouse, Lu Feihu was very excited and whispered:

I am very familiar with that place. I heard that a lot of supplies have been delivered in the past two days and are all placed in the warehouse. People are arrested on the street every day to unload the goods quickly.

The two rushed to the station, but found that it was under martial law. There were sentries and patrols a hundred meters away from the warehouse, and searchlights were cycling non-stop. The door of the warehouse in the distance was wide open and trucks were being loaded. From time to time, the Japanese's scolding could be heard. It seemed that they were going to be sent to the battlefield overnight. The two hid in the distance and observed. Just after half an hour, more than ten trucks were loaded and then drove away in different directions. It seemed that they were sent to different battlefields. After a while, a group of able-bodied men were also taken away, and the warehouse door was closed. A Japanese colonel was scolding the lieutenant guarding the warehouse. The voice came intermittently. Chen Feng only heard the words "commando", "sneak attack", and "hara-kiri". He thought that this was to protect him. However, it seemed that the loading and transportation might not continue tonight. Chen Feng saw that the guards were so strict, and thought that there must be a lot of things inside.

The colonel got on a three-wheeled motorcycle and left the warehouse under the escort of dozens of Japanese soldiers. After the lieutenant and his superiors left, they surrounded the warehouse and shouted, meaning that everyone should be alert and be careful of sneak attacks.

After the lieutenant finished shouting and returned to the guard post outside the warehouse, the entire station gradually became quiet. Chen Feng asked Lu Feihu to wait outside while he found a way to enter the warehouse to investigate.

Lu Feihu shook his head, motioned Chen Feng to wait, and whispered:

Captain, I know a place to enter the warehouse, but it's been seven or eight years, and I don't know if it has been discovered.

Chen Feng gestured to continue:

Captain, before I joined the army, I came to the station with my companions to steal cloth. There was an underground canal beside the small river behind the warehouse, which led directly to the drainage ditch of the warehouse. I don't know if it has been blocked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng said that he could go and investigate. With such a strong defense, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be discovered if he sneaked in.

The two men walked around the warehouse and came to the small river behind the warehouse. Lu Feihu searched for a long time and found the culvert. The river was almost dry. The drainage outlet of the culvert was hidden in the reeds on the river bank, and most of it was buried by some reeds and dead branches.

Lu Feihu explained:

We climbed in from here that year. The end is in the yard of the warehouse. There is a large stone slab on it. "Captain, you wait here. I'll go take a look first. I'll come back to call you if it's ok." After saying that, he took out a box gun and a flashlight from his bag, gave the bag to Chen Feng, cleared the dead branches at the entrance of the cave, and was about to crawl into the ditch.

Chen Feng knew that if Lu Feihu was discovered inside, he might not be able to return, so he hurriedly stopped him and said that he would go in and let him stay outside to guard. Lu Feihu looked at Chen Feng and said seriously:

I am familiar with this place, captain, don't worry about me. There are forks in the road, and if you are not familiar with it, you may easily take the wrong path. I will go in without taking any action, but just confirm whether the Japanese are on guard. If not, I will come back and bring the captain in together.

After saying that, without giving Chen Feng a chance to refuse, he went into the canal. Chen Feng could only wait helplessly. It seemed that Lu Feihu wanted to join his team very much and was willing to risk his life to prove himself. It was estimated that the distance from the cave entrance to the warehouse yard was no less than 150 meters. He didn't know if it would work. If not, he would have to find a way to get in, and he would have to destroy it for the Japanese. Blowing up a warehouse might save the lives of countless Sichuan soldiers.

Chen Feng could only hide himself in the dry reeds and wait quietly. After about half an hour, there was finally movement in the canal. Lu Feihu came out, all dirty. Fortunately, it was not the rainy season, and there was no water in the canal, only messy spider webs and dirty mud. Lu Feihu took a long breath and said excitedly:

Yes, it is connected. I pushed aside some stone slabs and saw some old sacks piled on top. The Japanese should not have discovered this canal. I didn't see a single Japanese in the yard. However, I was afraid of alerting the Japanese outside, so I didn't dare to go out.

Chen Feng was familiar with this warehouse, as he had come here last time to steal explosive packs and a broken radio, and the Japanese should not have discovered it. After Lu Feihu had rested for a while, Chen Feng asked Lu Feihu to lead the way and followed him into the canal. The canal was not narrow and could accommodate two people sideways, and the height was also acceptable. Although there was a layer of mud piled underneath, which was the product of dried silt, there was no problem in crawling forward. With experience this time, Lu Feihu led the way and climbed very quickly. Chen Feng was sure that Lu Feihu had some kung fu skills, and he moved forward a large amount by pushing and pulling with his arms, and he never stopped, with an orderly breathing rhythm. He could not help but admire him secretly. After a little training, Lu Feihu should be stronger than his six team members and would be an important arm of his in the future.

Lu Feihu turned around and shone the flashlight at Chen Feng, indicating that they had reached the end of the ground. The two men staggered their bodies. Chen Feng climbed to the front and saw a stone slab on the top. Chen Feng used both hands to support the stone slab and tried to lift it. The stone slab weighed more than 200 pounds and most people could not move it. Chen Feng carried the stone slab on his shoulders, held both ends of the stone slab with both hands, and gently moved it to the side, trying not to make any noise. When the stone slab was half moved away, Chen Feng could lean out. On top was a pile of torn sacks, which were rotten and looked like they had been piled here for a long time. Slowly, the torn sacks were pulled apart and bright light came in. Chen Feng turned around and whispered to Lu Feihu to wait while he crawled out of the cave.
