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

The main forces were on the mountain, and the offensive on the western flank went straight in and encountered almost no resistance.

The Japanese's logistics and headquarters were almost stripped naked and presented to Ding Wei's mobile forces.

The remaining defenders are only at the squad and team level.

Let them fight against the cavalry regiment and the armored battalion, and stop making trouble.

The light machine gun cannot penetrate the armored defense at all, and the firepower of the Type 92 heavy machine gun is also insufficient.

It is impossible for a key infantry squad to be equipped with heavy machine guns.

The maximum range of the grenade launcher was several hundred meters, and some were only 150 meters. Before they could fight back, they were covered by the firepower of tanks and armored vehicles and most of them were killed.

Sun Desheng and the armored battalion cooperated extremely well, with tanks attacking and the cavalry regiment charging forward to finish the job.

Fire started where the baggage was.

The nearest infantry tried desperately to get back to the rescue, but were intercepted by several armored vehicles and, together with the elite troops of the 5th Regiment, shot dead on the spot.

The 6th Regiment and Kong Jie Detachment launched a full-scale counterattack, with artillery fire covering the sky and the earth.

Especially the 150mm howitzer, which almost destroyed the morale of the Japanese devils with one shot.

The Japanese also felt the pain, and they also knew that they would be defeated if they could not win.

The Eighth Route Army's counterattacks on the left wing, front, and rear made it difficult for the defending Japanese troops to resist.

Under the cover of artillery fire, many people were killed and wounded.

The soldiers who rushed up had anger in their eyes, and their bayonets stabbed the devils' eyes fiercely.

It was like a bubble bursting and piercing the other person's mind.

Stir it up in your mind and send them to heaven.

The grenade-throwing team charging ahead still likes to pick up grenades from the Japanese.

The round grenade is very easy to throw and has great lethality.

Throw it into the crowd and kill a lot of people instantly. It's much faster and more satisfying than using a gun.

"General, give the order to move forward. The enemy's armored firepower is coming."

The chief of staff's words broke Abe Heisuke's daze.

The situation was unexpected. Ding Wei had hidden such a mobile armored force, which could rush out when necessary and stab the enemy's weakest but also fatal point.

The Japanese lieutenant general was a little confused by the stab.

Once the order to move forward is given, the soldiers on the front line will suffer destruction.

If they didn't retreat, the armored battalion would attack their headquarters, and the rest would be unable to hold on.

The Eighth Route Army's counterattack was fierce. If they continued to fight, more troops would be divided and destroyed.

The artillery position on the left wing lost contact, and the area where the Mito Regiment was responsible for garrisoning had been breached by a reckless attack.

There was a huge gap, and without extra troops to fill it, the gap would only get bigger and bigger, and eventually swallow up the entire 41st Division.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

Abe Heisuke had no choice but to order a retreat, abandon the occupied positions, and give priority to protecting the manpower.

Destroy the heavy machine guns, destroy the ammunition, and quickly move back.

All troops moved to the right wing and withdrew from the encirclement in turns.

After a day of bloody fighting, the Japs were already exhausted and were killed one after another under the frenzied counterattack of the Eighth Route Army.

The casualties quickly exceeded a thousand, and many Japanese soldiers tilted their heads and rolled down the hillside.

Each brigade and squadron retreated to the east individually, disrupting the organization and making it difficult to launch an effective counterattack.

The remaining troops at the Yunzhonghe position were few and far between, and they only held out for half an hour before being breached by tanks and cavalry regiments.

The main force of the 5th Regiment quickly assembled and charged in that direction.

Attack you while you are weak, attack from the flank and rear to expand the results of the battle.

Kong Jie personally commanded the detachment's troops to counterattack the advancing Japanese invaders along the Jinshan Mountain.

At this time, it depends on who is faster and who has a higher will.

Everyone fights from day to night. It's time to test willpower and endurance on the battlefield. It's either you die or I die.

Under the cover of firepower, they quickly captured the commanding heights, seized the firepower of light and heavy machine guns, turned their guns around, and fired at the Japanese.

At this point in the battle, the 41st Division was clearly defeated and could no longer hold any position. Everyone had one thought in their mind: run.

The Japs didn't give the order to retreat, but isn't advancing the same as retreating?

Cheap inferiority complex seems worthless at this moment.

If you run slowly, you will be caught up and killed by the Eighth Route Army comrades.

Killing him is not enough to satisfy you, you also need to chop off his head.

Cut open the chest and see if the hearts of these beasts are black.

The scene was brutal, with blood flowing down the hillside and forming a small river.

The successive deaths made the Japanese feel terrified.

The heavy machine guns started firing, hitting the backs of the Japanese soldiers, and they fell down one after another.

The mortars were pushed to the front line, aimed in the direction of retreat, and fired rapidly.

The shells covered large areas of the Japanese army, and the explosions of dozens of mortar shells had a force that spread over a distance of hundreds of meters.

Just this wave of rapid fire took away 400 Japanese devils.

The tank's tracks slowed down a little, and it stepped on the horsepower at full speed, running over the dead bodies of the Japanese.

Even the bones were crushed into pieces.

Sun Desheng judged the situation and found that the Japanese were constantly coming back for reinforcement. Instead of attacking their headquarters, it would be better to turn around and intercept them, causing greater casualties in the pursuit.

In the direction of the Jinsui Army,

Chu Yunfei got the news and got up from the bed.

While putting on the clothes, I asked someone to confirm it again.

"The 41st Division was defeated?"

"The Shanxi-Northern Column broke through the flank and broke the Japanese defensive line. Commander, it is the best time for us to move eastward and join the battlefield to reap the benefits."

Chu Yunfei glared at him and wondered what he was saying.

What does it mean to search for benefits?

Soldiers take pride in defending their country.

"Pass on my order. The main force of the 358th Regiment will attack westwards and hit the Xin County headquarters. My artillery battalion will advance as close as possible and fire from the top of the hill."

"If we can capture the enemy's division commander, I, Chu Yunfei, will also become famous."

At this time, the main force of the 358th Regiment joined the battle.

It added a heavy hammer to the tattered defensive front.

Especially the artillery battalion under Chu Yunfei's command, which can provide impressive firepower strikes, enough to keep Abe Heisuke busy for a while.

Ding Wei's artillery regiment and heavy artillery battalion kept a close eye on the enemy's artillery positions. While providing fire support, they also had to suppress the enemy's mountain and field artillery.

The howitzers roared like a deadly scythe on the battlefield.

The Japanese were unable to dodge and were at the center of the explosion. After the explosion, not even a bone was left as they were directly vaporized.

Hundreds of artillery shells swept over, covering the sky and the earth, a spectacular sight.

The entire situation of the north-south offensive turned into firepower pressing from west to east.

Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment took aim at the situation and mobilized all the main forces to attack Dingxiang again.

The failure to capture the county town last time has always been a thorn in my heart.

Of course we have to attack again while the Japanese troops are weak.

The Independent Regiment and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, each with more than 3,000 troops, attacked from the rear.

This added fuel to the fire for the garrisoned 41st Division and created more variables in the chaotic situation.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was alarmed and became panicked when he learned that the 41st Division was in an unfavorable situation.

If there are further major losses, he, the commander of the First Army, can step down early.

Call the 41st Division Command, asking them to ensure the strength of the troops at all costs and repel the invading enemy.

Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke wanted to curse.

If it weren't for the First Army Headquarters' reckless command, the situation wouldn't have come to this.

The front-line commander had bloodshot eyes. He was old and did not have the energy of young people.

I was so anxious that my heart felt a sharp pain.

"Doctor, please get me a doctor."
