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

Ding Weiting liked the howitzers among the Soviet artillery. The division-level howitzers equipped in the Far East Army were the M30 towed howitzers.

122mm caliber, maximum highway speed when towed by a truck is 50 km/h.

On the way to Jining, preparations for the use of this batch of artillery had already begun.

Wang Chengzhu was also in the car, and the two discussed.

The Soviet-style artillery is divided into 6 separate artillery battalions, and it is indeed too luxurious to have an artillery regiment.

Ding Wei decided to use an artillery regiment for a column, so he first formed several artillery battalions to cooperate with the detachment in combat.

The mountain and field artillery at hand were organized into 8 artillery battalions, which were used in the siege battles and daily operations of each detachment.

The howitzers are organized into a howitzer regiment, which has three howitzer battalions under its command.

There are 8 150mm howitzers and 24 122mm howitzers.

This training organization is the most appropriate. If there are more artillery pieces in the future, the artillery battalion can be expanded into a regiment.

"That's a good idea. It's not in vain that I drank my sweet potato stew, nor that I went to the division headquarters to study."

"Just do as you say. You must start training quickly. Soviet artillery is slightly different from Japanese artillery. There is not much difference in small-caliber artillery. I will give you one month to build four towed field artillery battalions."

Zhuzi chuckled and asked in a mean way if there was any wine and beef. If there was, he could be even faster.

Ding Wei and his men arrived in the northern part of Jining, where the cavalry detachment and the tank regiment were stationed, and saw neatly arranged cars and more than 20 anti-aircraft machine guns.

Zhou Weiguo and Sun Desheng couldn't stop laughing.

Old Su was a staff officer of the army, Anov. He had a beard and was taking photos with his comrades enthusiastically.

On the one hand, it is to go back and publicize it, and on the other hand, it is to prove that the materials have been delivered.

Ding Wei walked up and shook hands with Brother Su's people, and the two sides had a brief exchange.

Many people in the Eighth Route Army studied in the Soviet Union and took daily Russian courses. Ding Wei had a good talent in this area. Although he came from a peasant background, he loved learning much more than Li Yunlong.

Only by constantly enriching yourself with knowledge can you become an excellent commander.

They showed no fear at all when communicating with foreign friends. What a big deal! The weapons and equipment of just two divisions were not even a hair of what was in the rabbit's military parade.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered Zhuzi and his men to take over the heavy weapons, and asked Sun Desheng to take out the homemade sweet potato cake he brought from the car and let Arnold taste it.

Guests are welcome, and as a host, we should not neglect them.

"Ask the kitchen staff to prepare some dishes and bring out more canned food so we can drink some later."

Sun Desheng took the order and took people to prepare.

Zhou Weiguo patted the new tanks and said that they could be used to train a Soviet tank battalion. He had never handled this thing before and needed to practice with it.

Arnov had a good impression of Ding Wei's troops. He thought they were a group of second-rate guerrillas or guerrillas equipped with explosives.

At the beginning, I was worried that these weapons and equipment would be wasted. Even if they came to support, would they be able to distract the elite Japanese troops?

Now, all doubts have been dispelled. This unit actually has armored forces and a regiment of armored tanks. It is simply incredible.

The effect of involving the troops stationed in Mongolia will definitely be brought into play.

After a good hospitality, they kept the people here for seven or eight days, and at the same time guided the artillery and soldiers to receive weapons, and learned combat methods from Lao Su.

As for learning ability, there is no need to worry about your comrades' enthusiasm for learning.

Every day he pestered Arnold and others, pretending to be studious and holding a booklet.

Zhuzi accepted the task and had to dig out the skills of the other party. The artillery level of the old Russians was average, but it was better than the artillery regiment under Ding Wei.

Unconventional approaches are always temporary and must be adjusted in a timely manner to move closer to formal theoretical directions.

Part of Zhang Dabiao's detachment arrived in Xinghe and received Soviet weapons.

The people under his command were the first to come into contact with the Soviet-made rifles, rotary machine guns, and water-cooled heavy machine guns provided by Ding Wei.

With the foundation of using Soviet weapons, we took the lead in updating weapons and equipment.

This time, we received a batch of M1930 carbines, an upgraded version of the water-jet rifle. They are 1.02 meters long, 1.32 meters with bayonet, and the muzzle velocity can reach 823 meters per second.

Compared to the water-link rifle in hand, this one is shorter and more suitable for cavalry use and can be used as a cavalry gun.

The submachine guns are not much different, but mixed in are the newly produced PPSh-41, which is the famous PPSh submachine gun.

As for the heavy machine gun, it was not the Kulyunov heavy machine gun that Ding Wei had been thinking about, but a water-cooled heavy machine gun with wheels, which was not very useful in grassland and desert areas.

It lacks water and freezes easily, making it unsuitable for use in extremely cold areas.

It should be around May that the Soviet Union will start mass production of the Kulyunov air-cooled heavy machine guns, and Ding Wei must purchase a batch of them then.

The equipment was sent into the army and a biography was published near Xinghe County.

It was then put into combat.

A shadow was cast over the heads of the troops stationed in Mongolia, and they could clearly feel the increased firepower of the Eighth Route Army's attack.

As well as the approaching direct-fire artillery, the 76mm field gun is simple to maintain, suitable for troops with relatively low cultural levels, and easy to operate.

The range of direct firepower is not bad, and it can suppress the Japanese 75mm gun.

Besides, the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army had no artillery left and could only rely on the city walls and fortifications and was pressed in by the artillery troops.

Fight to support the war, using the Japanese bunkers and machine gun fortifications as artillery targets.

Four artillery battalions pressed forward.

Clear out the defensive forces outside Jining.

Okabe Naosaburo had no choice but to mobilize three cavalry divisions of the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry to support and coordinate the defensive battle.

At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the puppet Mongolian cavalry was still quite arrogant. They were not only active in Chabei, but also joined the battlefield in North China.

As a result, they were beaten by the National Army and dealt with by the National Army's miscellaneous troops. They retreated back to Zhangbei area and turned into a security force.

The so-called public security can only prevent small-scale local wars.

Insufficient combat effectiveness and too weak strength.

In desperation, Naosaburo Okabe had no extra troops to mobilize, so he called on the puppet army to put out the fire.

The pseudo-Mongolian cavalry are not stupid either. Ding Wei has a cavalry detachment and an armored tank unit stationed in the north of Jining. Who dares to approach?

They are puppet soldiers, fence-sitters who cannot endure hardship, but they are definitely not stupid.

Seeing that the Japanese were in trouble, they began to disobey the orders of the troops stationed in Mongolia.

He used the excuse that his horse had diarrhea and delayed support.

Artillery fire approached Jining, besieging the headquarters of the Mongolian troops.

The Cavalry Group and the Second Independent Mixed Unit were both a little anxious. They were respectively defending Guisui and Wucheng, both of which were important railway stations.

At this moment, we are too disdainful to use any conspiracy, so we will use a serious open strategy to force the Japs to come to our rescue.

As long as these two troops leave the city, Ding Wei can arrange troops to block them along the way and kill them severely.

If there is no support, the Jining Army Headquarters in Mongolia will be wiped off the map.

Ding Wei also intends to arrest the commander Naosaburo Okabe.

The plane appeared within sight, and the Japanese were able to mobilize air support, but they encountered anti-aircraft fire.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns opened fire in unison, the barrage of bullets covered the sky and forced back the Japanese aircraft.

Now Ding Wei is able to integrate offense and defense, and his troops are spread out in a dispersed manner, not afraid of bombing by several planes.
