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

After the Japanese crossed the 100-meter line, they emerged from both sides of the tanks and began to charge. The tanks stopped moving and used their turrets and machine guns to suppress the Sichuan Army's trenches. With a distance of 100 meters, it would take more than ten seconds to reach the 30-meter line. As long as a round of grenades were thrown in, the first trench would be destroyed. The Japanese could rush in and attack from both sides, or they could shoot at the Sichuan Army in the trenches behind. Seeing that the Sichuan Army in the first trench was suppressed and could hardly raise their heads, the Japanese showed excitement and cruelty in their eyes.

The heavy machine guns on the second line opened fire. Only half of the four heavy machine guns were used, but the Japanese could not move forward. The rattling sound echoed throughout the position. A large number of Japanese were killed by bullets, and those who had already taken out grenades fell one after another.

Hearing the familiar clucking sound, the Japanese couldn't believe that they would die under the muzzle of their own gun. After fighting for less than a minute, a group of four soldiers carried heavy machine guns and stuffed them into the machine gun anti-artillery holes specially dug this morning. When the soldiers had just hid for dozens of seconds, a shell accurately landed on the previous machine gun position, and then the shells fell on the second position like hail.

The Japs retreated. A few heavy machine guns caused too much damage to the completely exposed Japs. They knew that there were several Czech-style tanks on the Sichuan Army's position, but they had never seen a heavy machine gun fire. The tanks ran faster than the Japs. Without the cover of the soldiers, they would probably be blown up by the desperate Sichuan Army holding explosives. The tank drivers all knew that the Chinese soldiers hated tanks much more than planes and artillery.

Wang Wenzhen was hiding in the trench of the second front, calling the division commander to report the situation of the battle:

"Division Commander, the heavy machine guns you sent arrived just in time, otherwise the first trench would be in danger today. You don't know how crazy the Japs are. In addition, the mortars in the city have achieved remarkable results. A row of Japs' heavy machine guns were completely destroyed. Was it Zhang Xuanwu's artillery? After the battle, I will treat him to a drink."

"The artillery belongs to Zhang Xuanwu, but the mortars and infantry guns were snatched by the Lone Wolf Commando. And the heavy machine gun I sent to you in the early morning was taken from the Japanese at the South Gate by them at the risk of their lives. I'll thank you later. Wang Wenzhen, I order you to protect the heavy machine gun well and don't be greedy for credit. This tactic was revealed to me by Leng Qiang during our detailed discussion. Fire for a maximum of one minute, and then quickly move to protect it. If you are blown up by the Japanese because of your greed for credit, I will beat you with my belt.

"Don't worry, Commander. One minute is enough. I will use the eight heavy machine guns in rotation. Even if four of them fire at the same time, it will be enough to give the Japs a hard time. You don't know, the Japs were about to throw... Let's not talk about it for now, Commander. The Japs have gathered again and we have to defend against artillery."

Wang Mingzhang listened to the busy tone on the phone and smiled. However, the Japanese changed their division commander and came to the front line in person. All equipment and ammunition were replenished. This battle was difficult to fight! Judging from the attacks yesterday and this morning, the Japanese obviously did not want to go through the trouble of attacking the positions under the city wall. They just wanted to quickly take the city gate. It seems that some changes must be made at night, otherwise the pressure on the city gate defense area will be too great.

The team stopped training at the Hulutao in Fox Mountain. There were still four hours before dark. Chen Feng ordered everyone to take a rest and set out after dinner at 7 o'clock in the evening. They would go to Teng County to harass tonight.

At noon, the person in charge of monitoring the radio station received a telegram from the 122nd Division, saying that the Japanese were charging in groups today and had increased their protection of the tanks, putting a lot of pressure on the defense line. If it weren't for the heavy weapons seized by Chen Feng and his team last night, the first line of defense at the north gate would probably have been lost.

Chen Feng understood that the Japanese were getting angry. A series of events in the Isogai Division made the Japanese feel ashamed. This Division Commander Inamura must have come down with a time node, and it would not be surprising that he even issued a military order. The team could not sit and wait for news, but had to take the initiative and find a way to restrict the Japanese. Otherwise, once the first line of defense was lost, Teng County might not be able to hold on for many days.

It was already 8:30 in the evening when Chen Feng led the team to Teng County. The entire Teng County was filled with the roar of artillery fire. The Japanese had actually launched a night battle, and the high ground outside the south gate was occupied by the Japanese.

An artillery squadron was firing at the South Gate front. There was also a lot of gunfire from the South Gate. The Japs gave up the charge and crawled forward to shoot at the Sichuan Army. This Inamura Toyojiro was something! Knowing that the Sichuan Army lacked heavy machine guns and artillery, he completely ignored the Sichuan Army's marksmanship and took advantage of the Sichuan Army's 69 rifles' poor accuracy and short range. He lay on the ground and fought against the Sichuan Army. Even without a trench to hide, he took advantage of his marksmanship and suffered the same casualties as the Sichuan Army.

Wang Mingzhang was urgently discussing military intelligence in the combat conference room. The Japanese had changed their strategy, and the entire 122nd Division was very passive. With this tactic, the Japanese's advantages were fully revealed, and the Sichuan Army's disadvantages were infinitely magnified. After discussing for a long time, there was no suitable solution. Wang Mingzhang could only order the Sichuan Army on each city wall line to shrink, and separate half of the troops to join the city gate line, use the night to quickly dig more trenches, and strengthen the defense of the four city gates.

The defenses at the South Gate, whether it was the Japanese army camp or the artillery positions on the high ground, were very strict. There was no other way except to break in. Chen Feng ordered the team to move towards the East Gate. Breaking in by force was not the commando's way of fighting, and they would not take this route unless it was absolutely necessary.

When they arrived at the East Gate, there was still constant artillery fire and loud gunfire. The Japanese were on high alert, and the team was a little discouraged. Chen Feng understood that the security was almost the same at both the North Gate and the West Gate. After the destruction of the South Gate brigade last night, Inamura would definitely have the team guard it tightly.

Strictly speaking, Wang Mingzhang's goal was achieved. The presence of the team tied up a large number of guard troops, but Chen Feng was not satisfied. He couldn't just stand outside and watch the Sichuan Army fight to the death. He had to find a way to intervene in the battle. The Japs wanted to fight with their guns, so he immediately issued a combat order:

Order Wu Tianxiang to go to the city wall defense line to communicate with the Sichuan Army, all 98k soldiers enter the trenches and move to the east gate defense line, other assault team members lie in ambush outside and withdraw from the front line before six o'clock. The ambush team members must be ready to provide support and must leave the battlefield at half past six.

Twenty sniper rifles and twenty snipers all entered the first-line trenches of the east gate. The Type 38 rifles on the opposite side shot very accurately. Many dead soldiers in the trenches were shot in the head. Chen Feng ordered the team to disperse and fire freely. Once the Japanese opened fire, they should immediately hide in the anti-artillery caves.

The sound of 98k rifles rang out in the KMT trenches, and the number of Japanese soldiers lying down and shooting was decreasing unnoticed. All members of the team took off their sniper scopes and used the flashes from the Japanese soldiers' firing to determine their positions. Although it was a night battle, the team's marksmanship was extremely accurate. After more than half an hour of shooting, there was no movement on the Japanese skirmish line. Chen Feng ordered all members to defend against artillery fire. Sure enough, the Japanese commander discovered the situation and fired twenty rounds of Type artillery and mortars at the position at a rapid speed. For a while, the position was filled with artillery fire.
