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

After the team settled down in Hulutao, Chen Feng ordered to hide the extra weapons and ammunition. They should not be used if they can be unused. They had to make long-term plans. He took the team to Shengou to hide the equipment. Chen Feng came back to gather the team and announced:

"From now on, the team will implement special warfare control and provide food for the enemy. After each battle, the battlefield must be cleaned up while ensuring safety. Submachine guns and 98k are distributed to everyone. The Lone Wolf Commando will still focus on sniping. Wu Tianxiang will select twelve people with good marksmanship from the elite guard team and assign them 98k. The remaining twenty people will no longer use the Type rifles they brought with them. All of them will be replaced with submachine guns. In addition, all sniper members must carry box guns, which can also be used as submachine guns at critical moments. Every time they go into battle, they must bring three basic amounts of ammunition, and each person must have at least three grenades. Today they will be training in the gourd set and can shoot, but the focus is on becoming familiar with the use of submachine guns."

Chen Feng learned about the situation of the elite team members and announced the establishment of four combat teams. The commandos and the elite team were all disbanded. Each team had a leader and a deputy leader. The first team was commanded by himself and Wu Tianxiang, the second team was commanded by Zhang Liang and Li Ergou, and the third team was commanded by Wang Hanqiang and Lu Feihu. Each team had ten members. The remaining Liu Caiyun, Heiwa and Ding San, plus a medic named Yang Ming from the elite team, formed a medical team. As the team leader, Liu Caiyun usually fought with the three teams. Once there were wounded, she would quickly leave the battle to provide treatment.

Chen Feng looked at the divided teams. The expressions of the thirty-nine people were solemn. From today on, the Lone Wolf Commando was formed. Although the thirty-two people were on secondment, Chen Feng understood that they could only follow him in the future.

After instructing the team to begin live-fire training, Chen Feng left alone. The Japanese support would arrive today, so he had to go to the front line to observe the situation first.

Chen Feng walked slowly for more than ten kilometers, memorizing the terrain and village layout along the way. The few villages he passed by were almost empty, and he only met a few elderly people. They must have been unable to run and did not want to run, so they chose to stay in their homes.

More than 2,000 meters away from Teng County, Chen Feng stopped and chose a high ground, intending to observe from here. However, Chen Feng discovered that if the Japanese surrounded Teng County, they would probably set up artillery positions here. This place was very suitable for Type 92 infantry guns and indirect fire guns to bombard the South Gate. He had to be careful. Once he was careless, he might be surrounded by the Japanese without knowing it.

There was no movement all morning. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng discovered the situation. The Japanese were moving towards the South Gate through the east and west sides. When they arrived outside the South Gate, they did not rush to attack. Many Japanese were building barracks and digging trenches. It was a scene of bustling activity. Chen Feng was careful about the surroundings. Once the Japanese set up artillery positions, his small hill would be an excellent location.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the roar of planes was heard in the sky. Dozens of bombers were circling and diving, aiming at the north gate of Teng County. Clouds of smoke from the explosions rose into the sky. Chen Feng knew that the north gate defense line must have begun a tough battle at this time.

As soon as the plane flew away, the sound of heavy artillery was heard. It was not that loud, but very dull. The Japs outside the South Gate were still digging trenches. They seemed to have no intention of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open, and were preparing to surround Teng County and destroy the 122nd Division.

Chen Feng no longer paid attention to the direction of the north gate, but carefully observed the Japanese at the south gate. There was about a battalion of troops, two Type 92 cannons, and eight indirect fire cannons were deployed in the open space between the military camp and the trench. It seemed that they had no intention of setting up artillery positions. The defense was all done inward, with only a few sentries guarding the outside. The weapons and ammunition were placed on the east side of the military camp, guarded by a small team. Two Type 92 heavy machine guns were set up inside, and two Type 99 light machine guns were set up outside.

Chen Feng plans to take action tonight. This should be the Japanese reinforcements. No matter whether they are on guard or not, he must take advantage of them while they are tired from marching to kill them.

By 4:30, we saw that the Japanese had no intention of attacking, and no Japanese came to support us from either side. It seemed that the mission of this brigade was only to block the south gate.

Chen Feng left the hill and prepared to go back with the newly formed commando team to fight the first battle out of the city tonight.

When they returned to Hulutao, it was completely dark and the team was eating in the dark. However, the vigilance was done well. Chen Feng was discovered by Heiwa who was on guard when he was two hundred meters away from the team. Heiwa was told not to be on guard and to eat quickly because there would be a combat mission soon. Chen Feng also took a bowl of lard and cabbage soup and ate it with pancakes.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the team moved to the hillside that Chen Feng had observed during the day. There were still lights in the Japanese army camp, but most of the tents seen during the day were hidden in darkness.

Chen Feng issued a combat order:

"Tonight's targets are two ammunition tents. There are two heavy machine guns on the north side of the tents, facing the Sichuan Army's trenches. There is at least one Type 99 light machine gun on the south and east sides, and more than 30 Japanese soldiers are guarding. The team moves to the south of the tents, and all submachine guns are aimed at the military camp. Once exposed, quickly fire at the tents in the military camp. The members of the previous commando team plus Wu Tianxiang, follow me in to check the sentry. Use a knife instead of a gun. Once exposed, withdraw quickly. Throw all grenades into the ammunition tent. It is better to blow it up than leave it to the Japanese. Once the sentry is successfully checked, 20 people will be on alert, and the others will be responsible for carrying ammunition. Wu Tianxiang will be responsible for contacting the Sichuan Army on the defense line 500 meters to the east and ask them to send someone to support. Pay attention to the Japanese's secret sentry. Follow my gestures for all actions. Let's go."

Shoji Sukeda was drinking sake in the tent. He came from Japan with the division commander on a transport plane. After transferring to Qingdao, he arrived in Jinan. He took two regiments of troops by train to Zouxian, and then came to the Tengxian battlefield. The battalion he led was withdrawn from the Shanxi battlefield for rest and recuperation. The combat effectiveness was very strong and they had achieved impressive results on the previous battlefield. However, the battalion commander was killed by the Chinese when he led the charge.

Thinking about the performance of the officers of the 10th Division when they arrived at noon is ridiculous. A group of cowards who have lost their courage, repeatedly emphasizing the power of the Wolf Commando Squadron, what is the use of this except proving their own incompetence? In the afternoon, the division commander sent people to block the South Gate and wait for an opportunity to attack, but no one took the initiative to apply. They are so cowardly that they are not worthy of being soldiers of the empire.

The division commander reminded me to be on guard. I must listen to this. I have followed the division commander for eight years, and the division commander has never made a mistake. I arranged the defense personally. Four machine guns defended the ammunition, a squad defended the barracks, and the secret sentries were all selected by me personally. With such a defense, how could the Wolf Assault Team launch a successful sneak attack? I dared to cut open their stomachs for fun.

Drinking sake and shaking his head, Shoji Sukeda was not sleepy at all. His mind was full of excitement. He thought he could not go to the battlefield. Unexpectedly, due to Isogai Rensuke's incompetence, a telegram sent him here. He would take a day's rest tonight and take the South Gate tomorrow to be the first troop to enter Teng County. He heard that Chinese girls are very conservative. He was almost expelled from the army for molesting female students in Japan. He doesn't have to be afraid here. He heard that the best reward for soldiers in the empire is not to restrict their beastly behavior. Shoji Sukeda licked his lips, looking forward to the scene after entering Teng County, his eyes full of obscenity.
