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

As the tank battalion expanded, Zhou Weiguo stayed here almost day and night, wishing he could be there 24 hours a day.

Direct the training of new recruits and arrange assessments.

Ding Wei also came over from time to time to check on his beloved baby.

Looking at Zhou Weiguo, who had a haggard face, he patted the boy on the shoulder.

"You still need to rest when you need to. Even if you have a body made of iron, you still need to make sure you keep it oiled."

Is this oil a proper massage oil?

"When I see the tanks, I don't feel tired anymore. I need to learn from Commander Sun. As long as the tanks are not broken, I can't rest."

Horses eat grass and feed, so of course they get tired.

Tanks consume oil, so even if the man is crippled, it won't be a problem. It can run fast as long as it is filled with oil.

Consider the right degree so as not to waste the new recruits.

With the cavalry detachment and the tank regiment supporting them, Ding Wei couldn't figure out how the Japanese could resist.

As for the several cavalry divisions of the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry, they will be in his hands sooner or later.

The war subsided before the New Year and preparations for the New Year celebrations began.

The headquarters of the Northern Shanxi Column has moved to Datong, where conditions are better. There are coal fires at night and a power station for electricity.

People who have experienced it still prefer the days when there were light bulbs, because kerosene lamps would blind their eyes.

The rosters submitted by each regiment and detachment fell into Ding Wei's hands. The 4th and 5th Regiments had both expanded their forces and could be considered for expansion into detachments.

Taozi is his confidant, needless to say, he was expanded into a detachment to cooperate with Kong Jie to stabilize the Gang County area.

Wang Chao was a member of the incorporated Northwest Army, and giving him the title of detachment commander further highlighted Ding Wei's importance to him.

Only by spending a fortune on horse bones can you attract a true horse to join you.

There are many strong men in the Northwest Army. If we can attract the Liangcheng Detachment, they will be good at fighting the Japanese.

Only the 6th Regiment led by Zhou Weiguo was left, which had not yet been promoted to a detachment.

There are two considerations. The 6th Regiment is following the column headquarters in mobile operations.

As the regiment commander, Zhou Weiguo has to divide his energy between the construction and reorganization of the tank regiment, while also taking into account the training of the special forces.

In addition, his background is somewhat questionable, which may easily lead to trouble. So we should suppress it temporarily to give him more opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

His background as a captain of the National Army was like a hidden poisonous sore on Captain Zhou's body, which might be pulled out during the ten years of chaos.

Ding Wei is a person who traveled from the future. He has to be on guard and has to build his own power.

Zhou Weiguo, Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng all came from the National Army, and they are more suitable to be his close confidants.

After the Chinese New Year it was 43 years ago. Knowing the historical situation well, Ding Wei knew that the Japanese could not hold out for much longer.

But the main force of the Kwantung Army was still there. If they wanted to take back Kwantung with the help of the Russians, they would have to sign an unreasonable treaty and cede Mongolia.

If I were to live my life over again, I would never let something like this happen again.

After the New Year, he took the lead in dealing with the pseudo-Mongol cavalry, and took advantage of the situation to allow Sun Desheng to take control of the northwestern border.

We must firmly hold the inland territory of Mongolia in our own hands.

Not only that, Kanto, Guanwai, and Outer Northeast were once our territories.

In the next few years, there will inevitably be a war with the Russians, which is related to national defense security and the pressure from the northern big country, which is exactly what Ding Wei is worried about.

Thanks to the tank regiment sent by the devils, Ding Wei was able to sweep across the grassland and take down the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry division.

If he trains them well for a year or two, they can be turned into a cavalry mobile corps of 100,000 people.

The Eighth Master believed that ideology determines everything, and strictly prohibited the formation of factions within the organization, personal heroism, and warlordism.

But there are various factions within the group, and now Ding Wei is also going to become a new faction leader.

The detachment is compared to the brigade-level organization, and the column is comparable to the current division-level organization. After the large-scale expansion of the army in the next two years, Ding Wei will have at least two corps under his command.

If a person has no ambition, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?

We already have tanks and armored regiments, so what are we afraid of?

These are my private soldiers. Even if the king of heaven comes, they have to bow their heads and speak to me.

The cavalry detachment and tank regiment outside the Great Wall continued training and controlled the railway lines at the same time.

Keep an eye on the Japanese's supplies, and take whatever they need from the railway.

All food, clothing and other expenses were paid for by Naosaburo Okabe.

The weather was nice today, with little wind. Ding Wei wore a military coat and took a car back to Datong Prefecture.

Zhong Zhicheng had been waiting for a while and was wearing glasses. He already had some symptoms of presbyopia.

"Old Zhong, why did you call me back so quickly? What's the important matter?"

The other party handed over a handwritten order regarding personnel transfers.

The division headquarters separated the Kong Jie Detachment as a mobile force and placed it under the unified command of the division headquarters. It was to be used for counterattacks in southeastern Shanxi and to recover the county towns in the mountainous areas.

Ding Wei was stunned for a moment. They hadn't been notified in advance.

How can he lead the team if he can't just abandon it with just a word after building it with so much effort?

He needs a detachment today and a regiment tomorrow, so the limited force Ding Wei has can't withstand a lot.

We can help fight the battles, and we can communicate on the issue of the detachment's affiliation.

I also have to ask Kong Jie's opinion and see what my old comrades think.

"Let's suppress it first and wait until we ask the division headquarters for their attitude. This year, Lao Kong is under a lot of pressure. He also has to keep an eye on the remnants of the 41st Division. The troops have not yet recovered."

"Even if we want to transfer, we have to wait until after the new year."

"We still have to give the commander face, but we have to let him know that I, Ding Wei, act according to his mood."

Ding Wei really figured out the personnel relationships and he spoke beautifully.

Zhong Zhicheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pushed his lenses, not knowing what to say.

But one thing is right, Kong Jie is under a lot of pressure this year, he needs to keep an eye on the remaining troops of the Japanese 41st Division, guard the Xinding Basin, and beware of the special forces of the devil.

Lao Kong is also a poor man.

The first one to come into contact with Yamamoto's special forces was to be dismissed as the leader.

Now that he has taken a step forward and become the commander of a detachment, he must be more wary of Takeshita Shun's special forces.

If Takeshita Shun took over the headquarters, he would raise horses himself without the boss's order.

In the past six months, the troops' defense has become increasingly strict, with many visible and hidden sentries and reconnaissance sentries set up.

Not even a fly could possibly infiltrate, and the special forces didn’t achieve very good results.

In addition, as the base area spread, the organizational work, mass work, and local work were done well, the land was distributed and the landlords were fought, making the Xinding Basin a united country.

No matter how skilled the Japanese are in camouflage, there will definitely be subtle differences. Their living habits, tone of voice, etc. will all be exposed.

The 5th Regiment is still in the mountainous area, but it is responsible for multiple counties, and Taozi also took the opportunity to expand his military strength.

It is easy to station five or six battalions in Ningwu, Shenqi, Wuzhai County and other places.

With guns and cannons in hand, a team can be quickly built by training new recruits.

The 4th Regiment was stationed in Liangcheng and Horqin. Wang Chao used his connections with the Northwest Army to win over many of the old troops. It was estimated that the regiment had a strength of to people.

In addition, the excellent troops in northern Shaanxi were always on the front line of the Japanese invaders.

The troops in northern Shaanxi were strong, and when the Japanese invaded Suixi, they were defeated here. Since then, they have not dared to continue the attack.

According to the current situation, the 4th and 5th Regiments will be able to be organized into detachments and fight independently after the New Year.

The only thing to worry about is that the new regiment led by Gao Qing has never had a good opportunity to expand.

The first battle after the New Year was to attack in the direction of Chahar, cutting off the connection between the Japanese infantry and cavalry groups along the Pingsui railway line.

Use war to support war and bring out high definition.

With this calculation, there are 7 detachments at hand, which is equivalent to the prototypes of seven brigades.
