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

After taking the important town of Jining, they quickly recovered the surrounding counties with it as the center.

The Japanese and puppet troops suffered successive defeats and did not dare to even look at Ding Wei's attack.

The cavalry detachment further expanded its influence and began to push deeper into the grassland desert.

Attack the active area of ​​the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry and clear it to the north, west and northeast.

Kong Yong's advance team also contacted the main force. They moved in the direction of Chabei and were active in the mountainous area on the border of Rehe.

The local troop deployment was clarified and a detailed deployment map was drawn up.

The guerrilla brigade, which originated from scouts, is good at fighting. After taking root in the local area, its active space is quickly expanded.

However, the guerrilla forces' logistics were difficult to replenish, and after meeting the main force, they managed to survive the difficult period.

Kong Yong met with Sun Desheng and asked about the situation at the headquarters.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Kong. You have built an advance base in the mountainous area and carved out a path through the territory of the Japanese and bandits."

"Our Jinbei Column has developed rapidly. We captured Jining some time ago, formed a tank regiment, and even established our own military factory."

"The production lines for bullets, shells, rifles, pistols, and grenade launchers are complete. The self-produced Type 81 carbine has good performance, and the cavalry detachment has received a batch."

This is true. The technology of bolt-action rifles is not a difficult problem. In addition, there are many designs made in China and can be used as reference.

There is nothing wrong with the design idea, but due to the limitations of industrial strength, it is difficult to smelt steel.

It can only be made of Japanese railroad tracks and walnut wood, with an effective range of 200 meters. If you shoot too much, the gun will heat up seriously. The quality of the materials is not good, which limits the performance of the rifle.

After taking over Datong, we can mine the iron ore here and smelt it, which will greatly improve the quality of firearms.

This homemade cavalry rifle, designed according to the combat habits of the Eighth Route Army, may not be the best, but it is definitely the most suitable for the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Especially the aiming sight of the gun, Sun Desheng would give it a thumbs up.

The pride on his face could not be suppressed.

The troops survived the most difficult period. They had cannons, rifles and bullets. The next step was to drive away the Japanese and pay back the blood debt with blood.

The cavalry detachment has continuous combat missions. Sun Desheng is the person Ding Wei values ​​most at this stage. They must clear out these puppet cavalry on the Outer Mongolia border in the shortest possible time.

The others were Zhang Dabiao, Gao Qing's Third Team and the First Team, who had obtained a full set of Soviet equipment. The two teams, with a total of more than 1.5 people, pressed towards Wucheng.

The main force of the Independent Mixed 2nd Brigade was defending in Wucheng.

The 6th Regiment and Wang Chao's 4th Detachment pressed toward Guisui and built a defensive line along the mountainous area.

Force the Japanese cavalry group to have more room to move.

In addition, Taozi's Fourth Detachment firmly controlled the Yunmeng Mountain area, and Kong Jie's Second Detachment was reinforced by a mountain artillery battalion.

It is necessary to send reinforcements to Wutai and Fuping and expand the detachment's personnel.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Detachments each have a mountain artillery battalion to provide fire support for the detachments.

We will be able to produce artillery shells soon, enough to support several artillery battalions.

After receiving this batch of weapons and equipment, the brigade commander couldn't stop smiling.

The Ji-Zhong base was swept by the Japanese invaders, but now there is a chance to fight back to the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan border, expand the scale of the base, and use troops against the Japanese and puppet troops in North China.

Almost 80% of the new rifles were distributed to the main force. The Japanese Type 38 rifle is accurate and has greater lethality in the hands of veterans.

Allocate bullets and equip combat supplies.

Compared with the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, this year's allocation is particularly generous. Veterans are allocated 30 bullets and new recruits are allocated 10 bullets.

In the words of the brigade commander, there is no point in defeating the enemy. Distribute the ammunition and weapons and give the Japanese a heavy blow.

On the battlefield behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army launched repeated counterattacks to dismantle and destroy the Japanese army's blockade methods.

In particular, the influx of some infantry artillery made the brick and stone structure of the turret vulnerable.

The Shanxi-North Column replaced a round of weapons and equipment. Ding Wei took the opportunity to take out the Soviet and Japanese weapons in his hands, mixed them with the equipment, and distributed them to various armies. Don't ask, if you ask, they were captured from the Japanese.

At the same time, we will strengthen the reorganization of the troops.

The first detachment, commanded by Gao Qing, has a reorganized force of 4100 men;

The second detachment, commanded by Kong Jie, had a reorganized force of 6300 men;

The Third Detachment, commanded by Zhang Dabiao, had a reorganized force of 9000 men;

The Fourth Detachment, commanded by Wang Chao, had a reorganized force of 6700 men;

The Fifth Detachment, commanded by Wang Tao, had a reorganized force of 5000 men;

The Sixth Detachment, Commander Zhou Weiguo, had a reorganized force of 3000 men;

The Seventh Cavalry Detachment, commanded by Sun Desheng, had a strength of 6000 men;

The tank regiment directly under the headquarters, the Northeast Advance Regiment (the advance team was expanded to a regiment, with Kong Yong as the regiment commander), the howitzer regiment (with Wang Chengzhu as the regiment commander), the motor transport battalion, the special operations battalion (with three special operations battalions under its jurisdiction), the machine gun battalion, the anti-tank artillery battalion, the communications battalion, and the field hospital.

The total number of troops exceeded 50,000, occupying more than 30 county towns and the Pingsui railway line.

Ding Wei’s greatest advantage lies in ammunition replenishment, which is not limited to the arsenal behind him. He himself is a mobile arsenal.

The rewards for the recent sniping have not been counted yet, and the ones that have been taken out are Soviet and Japanese weapons.

The more troops you have, the more rewards you get, and the larger the base for logistical ammunition replenishment.

Now Jining is under our control and is being pushed eastward and westward.

If we deploy blocking troops along the railway line, there will be no shortage of ammunition.

There were only two forces left in the Mongolian army, the independent mixed brigade in the east and the cavalry group in the west.

The cavalry group was left with only 6 elite cavalry and to puppet troops. The puppet Mongolian cavalry still had cavalry divisions, which retreated to the border of Outer Mongolia.

The Suiyuan Army took the opportunity to advance eastward and has now compressed to the vicinity of Guisui.

However, due to the lack of artillery and heavy weapons for siege, Mr. Fu surrounded the city but did not attack.

The so-called Second War Zone Northern Route Army was based on the 35th Army under his command, plus some guerrilla forces. At the worst time, the total force was only a few thousand people.

Taking advantage of the military farming activities in the past two years, the army supported the people and the people supported the army, and the military strength was restored to more than 10,000 people.

The so-called 35th Army is at most a division.

The combat effectiveness of the 35th and a half Route Army is good, and its military discipline is similar to that of the th Route Army. This ensures the combat effectiveness of the th Army.

This year, he paid more attention to the water conservancy construction in the Hetao Plain, aiming to build the Jiangnan on the Great Wall.

Xiao Fu, you should recognize the situation, give up the Northwest, and focus on water conservancy construction. Fighting the Japanese and recovering Guisui and Chahar can be left to Ding Wei.

Mr. Xipi wants to win over Ding Wei, so why doesn't the Eighth Route Army want to win over the Suiyuan Army?

If he could bring the Seven and a Half Route Army under his command, wouldn't Ding Wei have the final say in the entire Northwest region?

We still have to fight Guisui, and we have to fight beautifully to show the power of the northern Shanxi army.

It was decided to deploy part of the Fifth Detachment, the Sixth Detachment, the Tank Regiment, and the Cavalry Detachment, with Zhou Weiguo as the front-line commander and Wang Chao as the deputy front-line commander, to capture Guisui.

The eastern offensive was led by Zhang Dabiao as the front-line commander, with Gao Qing as the deputy commander, and they worked together to encircle Wucheng.

In particular, we must break through from the mountainous areas, from the northern part of Taihang Mountains, and cut off the connection between Wucheng and Beijing.

Taking advantage of the Eighth Route Army's expertise in mobile combat, they blocked important transportation routes in the mountainous areas.
