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

After a 100-kilometer raid, they reached the vicinity of Jining in six hours. When the armored vehicles rushed into the tank base, the Japanese had no time to organize a decent defense.

There were a lot of noises coming from the crowd, but there were only a small number of baggage soldiers, some cavalrymen who had just dismounted, and armored vehicle apprentices.

The defense line was easily overturned, and under the assault of more than 30 tanks, the infantry also entered the battlefield.

The mortars covered the attack, and the comrades' automatic firepower quickly cleared out the Japs in front of them.

In Jining, the remaining main forces of the 26th Division received the alarm and were awakened from their sleep.

Get dressed, stand up, take up weapons, and assemble.

Okabe Naosaburo was a little confused and urged the soldiers to support the tank base outside the city.

He murmured to himself, how could it be possible? How could the Eighth Route Army suddenly come to Jining?

Datong is more than 100 kilometers away from here. Cavalry can be used, but the cavalry makes too much noise and it is not easy to break through the Japanese defense line.

Unexpectedly, Ding Wei brought out more than a hundred vehicles and more than thirty tanks to attack.

Barbed wire, chevaux de frise, fences, and trenches were no match for the medium tanks’ advance, which tore open a gap and charged into the armored vehicle base.

Grenades and grenade launchers were thrown at the Japanese.

The two stationed infantry squadrons were quickly defeated, broken through by tanks, and fell to the ground one after another under the fire of heavy machine guns.

His arms and legs were pierced by machine gun bullets, and blood was oozing out.

Arterial blood flew far away.

The assault team following the tank was the first to take position and provide firepower for a breakthrough.

The soldiers came forward with bayonets in hand and stabbed the struggling devils, killing them quickly.

The battle ended quickly. Two infantry squadrons and a baggage battalion, more than 600 Japanese devils were easily wiped out.

617 stubborn enemies were killed and 63 baggage soldiers and maintenance workers were captured.

"Commander, these are all brand new tanks! And there are barrels of fuel."

Zhou Weiguo was a little excited, and the hot air he exhaled flew far away.

Ding Wei knew what was going on, so he went into the warehouse first to investigate, and then threw 55 tanks into the Japanese warehouse.

Drive away and take everything away.

The scouts reported that the main force of the Japanese were coming to the tank base for support.

Zhou Weiguo, Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao were not panicked.

The 26th Division lacked heavy weapons, and all the mountain and field artillery were in Ding Wei's hands. It was purely infantry support combat and could not cause any trouble.

And we have already notified the cavalry detachment in advance to meet us halfway. We are in for a fortune this time.

Move away, move all away.

There are more than a hundred vehicles, and even if there is another carload of fuel, it can be pulled away.

The soldiers looked excited as they loaded supplies onto tanks, motorcycles and trucks.

It was empty when we came and full when we left.

Many people crowded on the tank, grabbing a lot of large and small bags. Even though the cold wind was howling, their hearts were filled with passion.

A huge fire broke out, and the oil drums that had not been moved away in time before retreating were ignited.

The raging flames filled the entire chariot base.

Naosaburo Okabe personally led his team to attack, but he saw only a mess and a convoy retreating to the south.

"Bagayalu, Baga!"

The furious commander of the Mongolian army kicked over the bucket on the ground.

The bucket was frozen solid.

The pain made him grimace.

Ding Wei also squeezed into the tank, watching Zhou Weiguo driving the Type 97 medium tank himself, his heart still could not calm down.

"Weiguo, the devils must be furious right now. If we stab them in the ass at this time, wouldn't it make the situation worse?"

Zhou Weiguo was stunned for a moment and thought that the commander's idea was really bold.

But it does have an unexpected effect.

After the two of them discussed it, Zhang Dabiao led the team back and returned first with trucks and other supplies.

There were also newly captured tanks and vehicles, which were driven back by the armored troops.

The joined cavalry and armored battalions changed direction and launched a surprise attack.

Zhou Weiguo strongly suggested that Ding Wei go back first, and leave the matter of counterattacking to him and Sun Desheng.

Ding Wei agreed with this point. The biggest problem had been solved. The tanks on hand had been thrown out reasonably. There were 85 medium and light tanks in total, which were enough to reorganize a tank armored regiment.

The mobile forces quickly assembled and launched a new raid on the tank base outside Jining, scoring twice again.

The Japanese were putting out a fire. When they heard the noise in the distance, they all looked up.

"General, quickly cover the general's retreat."

As far as they could see, in the dim light of day, cavalry were galloping, chariots were charging, and large clouds of dust were raised.

Okabe Naosaburo's pupils dilated. These damn guys were coming back again.

Thousands of cavalrymen and more than thirty tanks charged together. When they were more than a thousand meters away, the tank guns opened fire first.

The shells fired loudly and landed on the crowd of Japanese devils.

The dilapidated tank base welcomed the second round of storm.

The bodies that had not been dealt with in time were also hit by a new round of bombing. The Japanese soldiers, who had just cooled down, were now frozen stiff.

The Japs were panicking again.

He hastily gave up trying to put out the fire and hurriedly looked for his gun. Before they had any chance to react, the heavy machine gun bullets on the armored vehicle were already flying over.

The offensive came like a rainstorm, and the Japs swept across the area like leeks.

Under the heavy machine gun fire, no one can complete the village.

More than 200 people were killed in the first wave of shooting alone.

When they got close, the cavalry regiment rushed into the battlefield. The tanks adjusted their positions and fired at the Japanese who had just organized a defense. More than 30 guns fired fiercely.

The shells whistled and blew up the enemy.

The disorganized defense was destroyed by the cavalry regiment's charge.

After two rounds of charging back and forth, more than 800 Japanese soldiers were killed and over a thousand were injured or killed. Only then did the mobile force slowly withdraw from the battle.

The battlefield was in even greater disarray, with broken limbs and blood mixed together.

Many Japanese soldiers were crushed by the tracks and their bodies were covered in blood, with multiple bullet holes on them.

Okabe Naosaburo ran fast and escaped back to Jining City under the cover of the troops.

The infantry battalion supporting the tank base suffered heavy casualties and many wounded.

The area was filled with smoke, and under the cover of smoke, the mobile troops withdrew from the battle, successfully withdrew from the Jining area, and retreated to the activity range of the Jinbei Column.

A thrilling raid, really enjoyable.

Zhou Weiguo pushed open the hood of the armored vehicle and smiled with satisfaction.

In front of him, more than eighty tanks were neatly arranged.

All the belongings of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia are here.

When the news of the battle reached the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters from outside the Great Wall, General Gangcun remained silent.

Then he said in a deep voice, "The sinner, he, Naosaburo Okabe, is a sinner of the empire."

"Pass my order. Transfer the 4th Cavalry Brigade to North China. I want to personally command it. Also transfer a batch of tanks to North China to form a tank division."

As for the troops stationed in Mongolia, let them fend for themselves.

If Naosaburo Okabe still had a heart like an eagle, he should commit suicide to apologize at this moment.

This time, Ding Wei got too many armored weapons and a carload of fuel.

After the Americans cut off the sea transportation lines, the Japanese were short of fuel and had to use their aircraft and warships sparingly.

This further highlights the preciousness of this batch of oil. Taking it from the enemy and using it on the enemy, we must make sure to maximize its effect.

The tanks roared. With the tank regiment and the cavalry detachment, it can be expected that the entire pseudo-Mongolia, Suiyuan and Chahar areas will be in Ding Wei's pocket.
