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

Headquarters,

Commander Liu's eyes lit up as he looked at the spoils of the Fourth Military Sub-district.

The Eighth Route Army has always advocated learning, and has focused on training and discovering artillery personnel, communications personnel, and so on.

This is their disadvantage, the lack of a certain talent pool.

Regarding armor related, that's closer to desolation.

Ding Wei not only seized armored vehicles and tanks, but also had the guidance of a top student like Zhou Weiguo who studied in Germany. Isn't that like adding wings to a tiger?

Such talents should stay behind and contribute all the knowledge in their heads.

Cultivate more generals who can charge into battle.

The power of one person is limited, but teaching millions of people can have a greater impact.

"Notify Ding Wei and send Zhou Weiguo to the headquarters."

Ding Wei did not dare to agree with all the orders from the division headquarters.

Talents like Zhou Weiguo are indeed suitable to be staff officers, used to train personnel and guide operations.

Reduce the possibility of leading a team personally and going deep into dangerous front-line scenarios.

But even if he becomes a staff officer, he should stay in the Fourth Military Division.

Ding Wei spent a lot of money on rifles, light and heavy machine guns to get these people, and he had to send several trucks of military equipment to the headquarters to get these talents.

You can't just transfer to the headquarters at the commanding officer's command.

Besides, Zhou Weiguo also needs to find a place to practice his best knowledge of armored troops.

Can other regiments use tanks for training?

The Fourth Military Sub-district has eight regiments and tens of thousands of troops. If the militia, district squads, and county battalions in the base area are included, the number of troops is even greater.

Ding Wei also needs a staff officer, so he should be placed in the military sub-district for training first.

Wait for the right opportunity and then send him to the teacher for training.

Present the facts and speak reasonably. Even teachers have to be reasonable.

Later, Commander Liu compromised and temporarily put him in Ding Wei's hands, and would consider transferring him up when the conditions were right.

Zhou Weiguo was appointed acting commander of the new 6th Regiment, captain and instructor of the special operations team, and commander of the armored battalion.

Not only did he defeat the search team, he also beheaded the 26th Division's headquarters. This tremendous feat deserves great reward.

Due to his previous identity, he was affected a lot when he switched from the National Army.

Otherwise he would be the group leader directly, there would be no talk of agent.

In a spacious area in the north of Pinglu, with more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles parked in the dust, soldiers were deployed on the vehicles to familiarize themselves with their operations.

Fuel is limited, so after repeated exploration and learning, we can figure it out.

Try to start training again.

In addition to seizing the oil, there is another way to transport the oil from Yanchang in northern Shaanxi. There is a Yanchang oil station there, which can produce a lot of oil every month. It is used to exchange materials with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the National Army.

If he could obtain special approval, Ding Wei would form the first armored battalion under the Eighth Route Army, which was a type of military force that no one could imagine in the short term.

The military sub-district submits the report, and then the division headquarters helps to apply and submit it to the headquarters for review.

The instructor praised the Fourth Military Sub-district twice in a row, saying that life can be hard, but the cultivation of talents and the training of armored troops cannot be hard.

Said the move was of great strategic significance.

Let Ding Wei try boldly, learn bravely, and open up a route that has never been taken before. After achieving results, promote learning in the military.

Watching the iron thing start moving, it's really a great thing.

It is said that the Japanese armored vehicles are like small cars, with thin skin and large fillings, which can be destroyed with one shot.

But getting it is better than having nothing.

The Tiger is very strong, the T-34 is also powerful, and the Sherman is okay. But what does that have to do with the Eighth Route Army? Can they be driven?

Standards were set for the armored battalion, and it was to be formed in March.

With so much manpower, material resources and energy invested, the training was doubled.

"Captain Zhou, do you think the armored battalion can be deployed for three months?"

Ding Wei and Zhou Weiguo stood in the smoke and dust, watching the group of iron lumps moving clumsily.

"Commander, when I was in the National Army, my superior was a narrow-minded commander who was concerned about the tanks and did not allow his men to train because he was worried about the damage during the training process. Under such circumstances, three months was enough to get the tanks up and running."

"Our armored battalion has intensified training, more than ten hours a day, and all our food, clothing and expenses are spent on tanks. If you can't learn this, you don't need to stay in our armored battalion. We can't keep such idiots."

Ding Wei laughed, feeling much more relieved after hearing these words.

In the plains, infantry lacks cover and finds it difficult to charge.

If supported by armored units and the coordinated advancement of infantry and tanks, they can defeat an army of one million.

It is a pity that without airplanes, group combat and the trinity, it is a real modern warfare.

It’s a bit far-fetched to think about those things. Why do you need a bicycle?

The fact that he could pull out an armored tank battalion in the barren northwest region is enough to represent Ding Wei's strength.

Once the armored battalion came out, they would capture the two infantry regiments of the Japanese and completely eliminate the 26th Division.

Eliminate the enemy within the Great Wall.

The spring of 42 was a warm one. In February and March, the snow on the north side of the mountain melted completely, and a layer of green buds emerged under the snow.

Spring ploughing and autumn harvest are big events.

The soldiers and civilians near the base worked together to first deal with the land.

The Seven and a Half Route Army active in the Hetao area discovered the predicament of insufficient manpower of the Mongolian troops and took the initiative to attack.

There are many different origins for the name "Qiluban".

It may have originated from the Japanese and puppet troops, because the combat style of the 35th Army and the newly formed 32nd Division was very similar to that of the Eighth Route Army, so when the North China Expeditionary Army divided its sphere of influence, this part was also included in the Eighth Route Army.

Another reason is that the Northern Army of the Second War Zone has a simple style, and General Fu himself is relatively frugal and pays attention to military discipline.

In this regard, they are similar to the Eighth Route Army.

Since the last battle of Wuyuan, the Japanese dared not invade Sui West, and the two sides have maintained a military standoff.

The Japanese cavalry group held their ground in Baotou, Salaqi, Guyang and other places, and had a cavalry brigade with two cavalry regiments under its jurisdiction.

That's it.

In other words, in the Hetao area, the main force of the Japanese invaders only had two regular cavalry regiments left.

The main force of the 26th Division was firmly locked in the Datong Basin by Ding Wei's Fourth Military Sub-district.

The Suiyuan Army took the opportunity to counterattack eastwards and test the reaction of the Japanese invaders around Baotou.

This peaceful general was good at mobile warfare, blitzkrieg, and cavalry warfare, and was good at taking advantage of opportunities to launch surprise attacks and defeat the enemy with a smaller force.

The outbreak of war in Suiyuan caused great headaches for the Japanese invaders.

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of the Second War Zone repeatedly defeated the invading Japanese invaders and intercepted the main force of the Japanese invaders in Suixi, fighting for several years without any results.

Now that they were short of troops, guerrilla cavalry from the Suiyuan Army, the Ma family army, and the Mongolian side jumped out one after another to harass the stationed cavalry regiment.

The commander of the Japanese army in Mongolia, Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe, was stationed in Wucheng, intending to withdraw a small amount of troops to support the Suiyuan campaign with three to five thousand puppet troops.

Puppet army, puppet army, puppet army.

I have to say it three times because it is important: the only thing the Japs can rely on at this stage is the puppet army they look down upon.

There was no way around it. Not only did the North China Expeditionary Army not have additional troops to sweep northwestern Shanxi, it also had to withdraw elite divisions to fight in the south.

The Navy has launched the Pacific War and urgently needs 40 elite ground forces to invade Southeast Asia.

Under this major strategic premise, small northern Shanxi and small Suiyuan were not within the consideration of the Japanese military headquarters.
