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

Ding Wei's intelligence network has always been good, and coupled with his deep penetration into the plains of the Datong Basin, he has basically managed to get a clear inventory of all the puppet army leaders.

Where is your home, how many people are there in your family, and what bad things have you done.

There is a saying circulating among the puppet army traitors:

I am not afraid of heaven or earth, but I am afraid of the Eighth Route Army coming to investigate.

I'm not afraid of ghosts or gods, but I'm afraid of the Eighth Route Army knocking on my door.

After the Japanese army was weakened, Taijun, who was able to support them, became a coward, and the Eighth Master stood up completely.

The puppet army leaders who were good at changing their stance according to the situation had to consider their chances of survival.

On the one hand, he continued to work for the Japanese, and on the other hand, he secretly contacted the Fourth Military Sub-district, expressing his willingness to obey orders and buy a life-saving amulet.

There are also corresponding strategies for dealing with puppet troops.

Most of the puppet troops were there to make a living and help the Japanese guard the artillery towers, so they had no chance to participate in the so-called mopping-up operations.

This kind of people had to do ideological work and be controlled, but they continued to ask the Japanese for food and drink. In the past, when they were capable of fighting, they would just shoot into the sky for show.

Love the people and protect the Eighth Route Army's transportation.

Win them over to join the war of resistance.

As for die-hard traitors like the Imperial Army and the Security Corps, they will be eliminated first and will not be tolerated.

The Japanese army transferred a large number of puppet troops from here to support the battle in Suixi. Ding Wei could not hide it at all. As soon as the troops were transferred away, the Fourth Military Division got the news.

"Oh, Jinbei is already busy with its own business, and it still wants to support Suixi."

I really don’t know how to evaluate the Japanese’s decision.

In the military sub-district headquarters,

Ding Wei, Zhou Weiguo, Wang Chengzhu and Sun Desheng are all present. The training of the armored battalion has achieved initial results, and actual combat is needed to test the training results.

In Youyu area there are the 6th Regiment, the 7th Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment.

The 13th Independent Regiment, which was in opposition to it, was stationed along Zuoyun, Fengzhen and Datong.

Took a defensive stance.

"Captain Sun, arrange for the cavalry to move north to find the enemy's logistics line and continue harassing them."

"The 6th and 7th Regiments attempted to attack the Japanese regiment and take up advantageous combat positions."

"My armored battalion is waiting for the right opportunity to attack the battlefield and destroy the defense line of the 13th Independent Regiment."

Two infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, one armored battalion, and a reconnaissance battalion directly under the military sub-district were deployed in northern Shanxi, with a total strength of nearly 5,000 people.

They had the advantage in terms of military strength, but it was just an infantry regiment, with only more than 3000 people in total.

But in terms of artillery, there is a lack of heavy weapons.

The 26th Division's artillery regiment, baggage troops, engineers, logistics, medical personnel and other forces were all in the city, with 18 field guns and 12 mountain guns.

If this batch of firepower was put into the hands of the Independent 13th Regiment, it could have fought against Ding Wei's three regiments in northern Shanxi.

Use a method to lure the Japanese artillery regiment out of the city, and then use mobile forces to defeat it.

But I was too envious of the Japanese's field artillery and mountain artillery. The Fourth Military Sub-district had everything except a proper artillery regiment.

Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment can set up an artillery battalion, so I, Ding Wei, must set up an artillery regiment to be qualified.

At the same time, the infantry regiments of Zhang Dabiao, Wang Chao and Gao Qing exerted pressure on the Tongpu railway line in Shuo County.

Attack the strongholds along the railway.

The 12th Independent Regiment was tied up and locked up in Shuo County and Shanyin.

Ding Wei's command nowadays is increasingly based on a sense of the overall situation and the concept of mutual involvement.

When they were far from being a regiment as before, they could only charge and attack fiercely, using their equipment and firepower advantages to fight the Japanese head-on.

Now we have 8 regiments, which can be used to carry out entangling, feint attack, guerrilla warfare and raid.

The killer weapon lies in mobile warfare and harassment warfare.

The special operations team, armored battalion, cavalry regiment, and reconnaissance battalion are special means of mobility. Any one of them can deal a fatal blow to the enemy alone.

Ding Wei had no energy to command the guerrillas, district squads, militia and the like in the regiment's garrison area.

Assigned to regimental level commanders and fighters, they are responsible for combat within the garrison area.

The cavalry regiment took the lead and searched the northern region for the devil's logistics and transport troops.

They unexpectedly discovered a group of lagging puppet troops, more than 300 people, who were marching slowly towards Sui West.

Sun Desheng immediately ordered his troops to surround them, and the battle was over in just over ten minutes.

A lot of intelligence was obtained from the puppet troops.

The cavalry regiment was then divided into three groups to attack the Japanese logistics troops, find them and destroy their logistics supplies.

Zhou Weiguo temporarily took over the front-line command of the 6th and 7th Regiments, and the main company approached the direction where the Japanese invaders were stationed.

Take advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the top of the mountain, get closer, and seize the high ground.

As the war broke out, the remaining main forces of the 26th Division began to prepare for combat.

Engineers and logistics soldiers were also pulled out, and all other puppet army security forces were also sent forward as reinforcements.

The commander of the Mongolian Army, Naosaburo Okabe, arrived in Datong and temporarily took over the headquarters of the 26th Division, responsible for overall command.

Send out the artillery regiment and make sure to open up the road in a short period of time to ensure the success of the Suixi War.

If the troops of the Fourth Military Division were allowed to cut off the logistics line, the cavalry group and support forces would be in an unfavorable combat situation.

Subsequently, two infantry battalions of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade were drawn from Wucheng and Tianzhen to supplement the Datong area.

Used to alleviate the shortage of troops and relieve the pressure brought by Ding Wei from the front.

The division had 18 75mm field guns, 12 75mm mountain guns, and several vehicles for transportation. It had excellent mobility and rushed to the western front that afternoon.

Artillery fire roared as they launched a fierce attack on the Eighth Route Army's offensive positions.

The shells whizzed down and exploded with great force, covering the Japanese infantry and helping them to retake the position.

Zhou Weiguo slammed the table hard, with a look of triumph on his face. Once the Japanese artillery regiment left the city, they would be able to find it and eat it.

The reconnaissance battalion quickly penetrated deep into the Japanese invaders to search for the location of enemy artillery positions.

The armored tank battalion approached the front line and hid, and a cavalry battalion from the cavalry regiment had quietly rushed here and was waiting for orders.

The Japanese artillery regiment had more than a thousand people, and they built artillery positions behind the regiment.

The regiment's colonel, Zentaro E, was in high spirits and directed the artillery to fire forward.

As the command knife was swung, the shells whizzed out and fell towards the target area.

At this moment, there were bursts of noises coming from the ground, followed by a cloud of smoke and dust.

The armored tank battalion attacked from the flank, and the infantry of the reconnaissance battalion followed suit.

On the other side, the cavalry battalion rushed out from hiding and firmly locked onto the artillery regiment.

The roaring tank moved forward, raising a cloud of dust. The Japanese Type 95 light tank was moving quite fast, like a rat crawling on the ground.

"When did the general mobilize the armored forces without prior notice?"

Colonel Jiang Shantaro was suspicious, but it was not his fault. They were all Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. Anyone who saw them would think they were their own troops.

How could that group of Eighth Route Army soldiers have tanks, and how could they fight with tanks?

Later they discovered something different. This group of people directly ran into the regiment's defense line and crazily fired at the Japanese with machine guns.

"It's the enemy, artillery regiment, meet them!"

The colonel's face suddenly changed, because his wrong judgment allowed the armored battalion to approach to a distance of more than 500 meters.

Under the machine gun fire, the Japanese soldiers of the artillery regiment fell to the ground in large numbers like harvesting leeks.
