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

The combat plan was distributed to each detachment, and the battalion and company cadres who were still resting quickly made preparations for combat.

Ammunition, firearms, personnel arrangements, etc., need to be arranged separately for combat missions.

Ding Wei was responsible for the combat arrangements of each battalion, but it was impossible for him to subdivide it into companies. He was not Zhong Zheng, so he could not remotely control the machine gun squad's position by telephone and move it 500 meters to the left (5 meters to the left).

In fact, the detachment's combat plan was made first, and then the commanders of each detachment detailed the plan, and Ding Wei made the final decision.

After the New Year, the weather turned warmer and we immediately launched an offensive.

We should take advantage of the fact that the Japanese invaders are tired and we have finished resting and fight with great momentum.

In particular, the cavalry detachment and tank regiment responsible for breaking through the central route were of paramount importance, responsible for dividing the Pingsui railway line into two.

To kill a snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part. The headquarters of the Mongolian Army is in Jining. Ding Wei wants to beat Okabe Naosaburo in one breath until he can't even stand up straight.

The mules, horses and personnel responsible for transportation have already started moving.

Transport the prepared ammunition to the front line.

Assigned to the company responsible for assault operations.

Ding Wei took advantage of the situation and mixed some supplies from his personal warehouse in. He personally arranged the transport troops, some heading west and some heading north, and no one knew how much supplies each of them had transported.

Anyway, each team can get enough bullets, grenades and mortar shells.

The captured combat supplies were also distributed one by one.

Zhou and Sun assigned tasks before the assault.

This time, four detachments were mobilized to attack simultaneously, with nearly 20,000 troops, launching the offensive together.

There are not many troops stationed in Mongolia. They should take advantage of this opportunity to defeat him in one blow and make him collapse.

The Japanese reconnaissance planes discovered the situation and sensed that a major war was coming.

so what?

The region is short of military forces and cannot spare more troops to provide support. Ding Wei's powerful army alone is enough to cause unrest in the world.

The North China Expeditionary Army had 12 troops, of which there were 15 before the New Year. Due to the needs of overseas wars, 3 elite troops were withdrawn.

All these troops are used to guard the North China region.

Okamura even wanted to withdraw all his troops from the northwest, but he felt it would be difficult to hand them over to others, so he ordered all units to defend strictly.

He only wanted to defend the important points in the city, and the rest of the territories that could not be defended were not within his consideration.

It's not that the soldiers are not strong, but that the battle is not good.

As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without sufficient troops, General Okamura had no good solution.

Be vigilant and wait for the opportunity to fight.

After the New Year, the weather became slightly warmer, and with the order given, the Northern Shanxi Column launched an offensive.

The front-line advancing troops sneaked towards the Japanese and puppet army defense area in the dark and started the battle in the early morning.

The blasting workers carried a large amount of explosives and sneaked into the artillery tower. With the earth-shaking noise, the whole hill was shaking.

The comrades rushed in through the gap and fought with the Japanese army.

Battles broke out simultaneously among multiple troops and in multiple directions.

The puppet army's phone calls for help kept ringing, but the main force of the Japanese army stationed in the county town refused to go out.

He had received an order from the Mongolian Army Headquarters, requiring him to defend the city strictly and not to send out a single soldier even if his own son was outside the city.

We continued to strengthen the county's fortifications, using the reinforced strongholds to defend as long as we could.

This is to consume the Eighth Route Army's strength.

The terrain at the place where the frontal battle took place is flat, which is suitable for mobile force assaults.

The Japanese built some hidden bunkers, half of which were buried underground and half of which were exposed.

The black muzzle of the gun was hit by a tank gun before it could fire.

The Japs in the bunker all ascended to heaven.

The tank regiment attacked, with dozens of tanks pressing northward at the same time, creating an opportunity for the cavalry regiment to charge.

The observer reported what he saw to the Mongolian Army Headquarters and was so surprised that he was almost speechless.

The Shanxi-North Column has deployed a tank unit that is larger and more skilled in combat than last year's.

The tank troops attacked and the cavalry rushed forward, breaking through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop.

Some puppet cavalrymen who came to join the battle were completely defeated when they saw the tanks coming.

The defensive positions outside Jining City were easily torn apart and exposed to cavalry attacks.

Okabe Naosaburo lost confidence.

"Impossible, they really absorbed my chariot?"

He hurried to the observation position on the top of the city wall, holding a telescope, and looked at the battlefield in the distance.

The roar of chariots and the galloping of cavalry mixed together. The scene of thousands of troops charging overwhelmed the last bit of luck in the hearts of the Japanese.

An idea came to Naosaburo Okabe's mind: if he went out of the city to fight, he would surely die.

The pseudo-Mongolian cavalry tried to resist, but were strafed by tank machine guns, and only one wave wiped out three to five hundred of the enemy cavalry.

The remaining personnel were so frightened that they had no desire to fight anymore and simply fled far away.

The advantages of cavalry were reflected, at least they were very adept at escaping and could just run away if they couldn't win.

Sun Desheng's cavalry detachment took the opportunity to expand the victory, and separated a team of troops to attack and kill the scattered pseudo-Mongol cavalry. Then they outflanked Jining on both sides and rushed to the railway line.

The Japs took a defensive stance and basically did not dare to compete with them.

They broke through the railway line with great force, blew up important intersections and removed the tracks.

A cavalry battalion was detached to continue fighting northward and investigate the situation of the enemy and puppet troops near the right wing of Chahar.

If you encounter a small group of cavalry, you can destroy them directly.

The main force of Wang Chao's 4th Regiment also took the opportunity to approach Dayushu Township and Zhuozi County. The defenders here were weak and could not stop the attack of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

After a round of artillery bombardment, the Dayushu Township stronghold was easily captured.

More than 300 Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated.

The main force of Zhang Dabiao's troops were in the direction of Yanggao and Tianzhen. Needless to say, they quickly captured the strongholds around the county town.

They surrounded the county town.

After reaching the perimeter, they began to dig fortifications and earthworks approached.

The defending Japanese army intended to use artillery to blow up the fortifications, and the two sides began to fight each other.

Gao Qing's troops took the lead in clearing out the bandits and puppet troops in the mountainous areas, encircling the enemy's strongholds and temporarily suspending the offensive.

Cooperate with friendly forces in the Chahar direction, engage the main forces of two Japanese infantry battalions, and force the devils to fight out of the city.

However, the Japanese were clearly on the defensive, and did not follow the trend or leave the city at all.

The city defenses were constantly being reinforced, and they wished they could rebuild it entirely with concrete.

The stronger the city defenses, the stronger the defense.

Ding Wei was stationed in Datong and had updated the communication equipment on his hands, enabling him to keep in touch with the various teams in a timely manner.

Upon learning that the battle in Jining was going smoothly, he commanded the 6th Regiment to approach the three counties of Xinghe, Shangyi and Zhangbei.

Start from one point and develop in many ways.

In just three to five days, the offensive launched a siege on nine county towns along the Pingsui Railway line at the same time, clearing out the Japanese and puppet troops around the county towns.

It is not terrible to defend the county town. The policy of surrounding the cities with the countryside still exists, and the local towns and villages will be transformed into solid bases.

In Suiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army received a secret order.

Chu Yunfei is no longer qualified. His 358th Regiment is nothing compared to Ding Wei.

Mr. Xipi from Shancheng consulted Fu whether it is possible to recruit Ding Wei to his team.

In that way, the Suiyuan Army and the Shanxi Northern Army worked together to recover the Pingsui railway line and stabilize the northwest direction.

It can form a clamp on the North China region, support the international battlefield, and support the Yunnan-Burma direction.

Try to win over Ding Wei by promising him the rank of lieutenant general or general, or even the position of deputy commander of the Northern Army.
