Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

Yamamoto almost slid down from the top of the mountain in a panic, and the soldier in charge of picking him up grabbed him.

They wanted to capture other soldiers, but found that except the colonel, no one else had escaped. They were all killed on the hilltop of Black Wind Village.

Turn in, turn in, turn in quickly.

Colonel Yamamoto didn't care about his scratched palm. On the one hand, he asked for help from the First Army Headquarters, and on the other hand, he quickly fled to a hidden ravine.

Behind them were the reconnaissance company's troops pursuing them, and the sound of gunfire once again broke the silence of the forest.

The birds resting on the treetops were startled and flew away, and Yamamoto and his 16 men retreated forward in a panic.

The First Army Headquarters was alarmed, but Yoshio Shinozuka had already fallen asleep.

Waiting to wake up and receive the good news from Yamamoto Ikki.

What, has Ding Wei been dealt with?

"General, Colonel Yamamoto just sent an urgent message, saying that the special forces team was ambushed. Now there are only 17 people (including Yamamoto) fleeing to the mountains. Their location is currently uncertain."

"What? How is this possible?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was still in his pajamas, but he immediately lost his sleepiness.

What the hell is the point of sleeping? I just had a good dream and it was disturbed.

"Order the four infantry battalions of Jingle, Ningwu, Shenchi, and Xinxian to move towards the mountainous area and rescue Colonel Yamamoto at all costs. Also, have the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade move quickly towards the Yunzhong Mountain Area."

"Local gendarmes, security teams, and guard teams should rush to the mountainous areas for support."

A single move can affect the entire body. In order to rescue Yamamoto Ikki, the Japanese suddenly gave up the encirclement and defense and began to advance into the mountainous area on a large scale.

The Eighth Route Army units along the way were alarmed and spontaneously organized to block and intercept the enemy.

The troops deployed defense in echelons, killing and wounding the enemy at the lowest cost.

Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment of the friendly army was also alarmed. He learned that the Japanese from the Jingle direction were passing through the defense zone. How could he let go of the military achievement that was delivered to his doorstep?

Immediately mobilize the artillery battalion and infantry battalion to meet them and attack the enemy from the flank.

But the Japanese ignored Chu Yunfei and left a small group of troops to fight while the main force quickly moved towards the mountainous area.

Four infantry battalions, military police and security teams from several counties, the main force of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, and tens of thousands of troops poured into the Yunzhong Mountain area at all costs.

Landmines exploded one after another.

There were many minefields at the entrance to the mountain, but it did not affect the Japanese's marching speed.

It doesn't matter if a few people die or if two cars are blown up.

The First Army's order was to rescue Yamamoto Ikki's special forces at all costs.

The battle started, and the soldiers blocking along the way took advantage of the terrain and attacked from the flank.

In particular, the squad equipped with sniper rifles used their shooting advantages and grenade launchers to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy.

After the sneak attack was successful, he did not linger in the fight.

Quickly retreat to the steep hillside.

There were also mortar teams involved in the battle, relying on the main force of the infantry battalion to build a blocking position with strong firepower.

There was artillery fire and heavy machine gun fire.

In the past, if the Japanese encountered this kind of blocking position, they would definitely try to break through it, but today they simply took a detour and avoided the sharp edge.

The Japanese army's casualties increased sharply. During the forced march, hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops were killed.

Chu Yunfei stood on the high ground and looked up at the direction the Japanese were marching, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"What is the Fourth Military Division doing? Are they attacking the county town?"

Fang Ligong ran over to report the latest intelligence.

"Commander, several Japanese infantry battalions have poured into the mountainous area, all targeting the Fourth Military Division. This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers has angered the devils, so we're going to have a good show."

Chu Yunfei put down the telescope and glanced at Fang Ligong beside him.

What's the show to watch?

No matter how much the National Army and the Eighth Route Army conflicted with each other, they all had the same name: they were all Chinese.

In terms of killing the enemy and fighting the war, these are friendly forces.

Chu didn't care about the order of the commander of the Second War Zone. If he didn't take such a good opportunity, would he let the Japanese pass through the defense zone?

"No matter what Brother Ding does in the mountains, my 358th Regiment must help out."

"Order my artillery battalion to push forward, provide firepower cover, and wipe out this group of Japanese and puppet troops. Avenge Xin County."

The last battle with the Mito League caused Chu Yunfei to lose thousands of people.

Today we have the opportunity to stop the Japanese, but there are not many opportunities to take revenge.

After the mountain artillery battalion was in position, it launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in the direction of Jingle.

Under the cover of artillery fire, and with the Japanese having no intention of fighting, they quickly withdrew from the battle after abandoning more than 200 people.

The more they tried to avoid fighting, the faster Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment would stick with them and continue chasing them.

After continuous pursuit, more than 480 Japanese and puppet troops were killed and more than 800 were injured.

It was a thrilling pursuit battle, which gave the 358th Regiment a good show of itself.

In the Yunzhong Mountain area,

The main forces of Ding Wei's three regiments were all engaged in blocking operations and received continuous reminders of ammunition bonuses.

The reconnaissance company moved to a far distance and used rifles to snipe out eight special forces soldiers. The remaining nine could no longer run.

Yamamoto Ikki looked at the complex mountain terrain around him and the reconnaissance company approaching from behind.

I suddenly felt sad. Am I, Colonel Yamamoto, going to die here?

I haven’t seen the Empire’s Rising Sun Flag hung on a high mountain, I haven’t seen the Army’s tactical innovation, I haven’t…

Two bangs interrupted Yamamoto's thoughts.

Two grenade launchers fired grenades.

What the hell, who gave you the chance to feel sad? The special forces team led by Yamamoto Ikki were completely destroyed.

The reconnaissance company killed a colonel-level officer.

The Japanese signalman ran to the operations room and reported to Shinozuka Yoshio: "General, we have lost contact with Colonel Yamamoto!"

Since being awakened last night, Yoshio Shinozuka has been staring at the Operations Department.

Urge all troops to provide rapid support to the mountainous areas.

Until now, almost noon, all troops had suffered heavy losses in the support process, and conservative estimates show that more than 2000 men had been lost.

The special forces team still failed to rescue Yamamoto Ikki.

Not only that, it also caused casualties among the main force, and the plan to encircle the Yunzhong Mountain area was in vain.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who attached great importance to mountain special operations, seemed to have to pay a price for it and handed in an unsatisfactory answer sheet in his position as commander of the First Army.

As a result, he was dismissed by Okamura, who believed that he was unable to implement his own security tactics. In just half a year, the First Army lost a large number of manpower, including one brigade commander and one colonel, and indirectly caused the deaths of major general and colonel-level observation group members.

If he had not been so intent on organizing a battlefield observation group, a large number of elite officers of the North China Expeditionary Army would not have been ambushed.

All new and old grudges were settled, and he was directly relieved of his duties as commander of the First Army, and Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu took over.

This was a personnel transfer within the Japanese army. What was reflected locally was that the Japanese invaders who had entered the Yunzhong Mountain area withdrew from the mountain area in disgrace.

Return to the pre-war situation.

The Japanese and puppet troops lost 2378 men, some firearms and supplies, and a number of cars and carriages.

The blockade of the Yunzhong Mountain area ended in failure.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and multiple units of the Fourth Military Sub-district jointly wiped out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, took the initiative to attack, and turned the area around the county town into a base.

In front of Ding Wei were the weapons and equipment of the Japanese special forces, as well as Colonel Yamamoto's keepsake.

A special forces team that was good at fighting behind enemy lines was finally wiped out.

So that you won’t have a restless sleep at night.
