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

To be honest, Ding Wei did not take the 108th Division seriously. The 108th Division of the Japanese was a permanent division with two brigades under it and had good combat effectiveness.

Today's 108th Division is an expansion of the Kwantung Army's th Independent Garrison.

Isn’t the so-called garrison just another name for the security force?

A triple division is equipped with 3 infantry regiments, 1 cavalry regiment, and 1 field artillery regiment.

There is no need to mention the rest of the baggage and engineering troops.

The main combat force has a strength of just over 10,000 troops, equivalent to Zhang Dabiao's detachment, with an artillery regiment.

In a one-on-one situation, I am definitely not inferior to the Japanese.

The Pangjiabao area is sunken in the middle and surrounded by high mountains, making it suitable for deploying artillery positions.

The terrain in the Xuanhua area in the southwest is relatively flat, which is also conducive to the traction of the artillery regiment's vehicles, which Zhou Weiguo also took into consideration.

Once the war started, artillery fire was fired at the battlefield from all directions, blocking the Japanese in the central depression and taking advantage of the geographical location.

Our army's artillery is superior to that of the Japanese army. Soviet field guns and howitzers are a level higher than the artillery assigned to the Japanese divisions.

From the perspective of this battle, Ding Wei did not make any additional additions for the time being, and ordered people to notify Zhang Dabiao, Wang Chengzhu, and Kong Yong to deploy according to the combat plan.

But from a strategic perspective, it is necessary to add that the cavalry detachment should arrange a mobile force to approach the Luanping and Chengde areas.

Cut off the enemy's retreat.

If the Japanese division comes to Wucheng, the Japanese troops in Chifeng and Chengde will be weakened. It is time to arrange a ranger battalion to go there to expand the base.

The Chabei, Mongolia, and Chifeng line will be the key to future military operations in the Northeast.

This route can be prepared in advance, and troops must be arranged to attack in advance.

Clear out the Japanese troops, puppet troops and bandits along the way.

In addition, the situation in mountainous areas is complicated, and it is also necessary to take into account the survey of maps, geography, and rivers.

Just after arranging the tactics, a report came from outside the door.

Zhang Renjie walked in with a reluctant look on his face. He had been in the Jinbei Column for several days.

He thought he understood it pretty well, but he was never assigned any actual tasks.

Look at Zhao Gang, who came from the same period. He was able to take charge of the Jining Military Region Command.

I am younger and have less experience, but at least I can take on some work in the detachment.

At the very least, you can serve as the political commissar of the main battalion.

With his ability, there would be absolutely no problem for him to lead a main battalion to fight the Japanese.

In the headquarters,

Zhang Renjie strode in, and when he saw the complicated sand table inside, he suddenly felt uneasy.

It's bad. It comes at the wrong time.

Ding Wei actually had someone build a sand table. He was unsure and knew he would be exposed once he tried it.

Whatever you worry about will come true. Ding Wei will take care of it immediately.

"Comrade Renjie, you're here at the right time. You studied abroad at the Frunze Military Academy. Please show us the deployment of this battle. Are there any omissions? Or give us your own opinions."

Zhou Weiguo's eyes lit up. He had not seen Zhang Renjie since he arrived at the headquarters. He had been staying in the command center for the past few days, building a sand table model and constructing the combat deployment for the Longmenkou battle.

The Frunze Military Academy of the Soviet Union is also a famous school. This comrade studied abroad there, and they can verify theoretical knowledge with each other.

There are many hidden talents within the Eighth Route Army.

"Hello, Zhou Weiguo, a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, studying abroad at the German Military Academy. Please give me your guidance."

When Zhang Renjie heard that the other party was a student in Germany and a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, he felt even less confident.

He didn't dare look at the sand table and changed the subject.

"Commander, I came here today to report something to you. The troops need to rectify their style and strictly enforce military discipline. I found that the ideological and political work of some cadres and personnel needs to be strengthened. Some of them secretly drink alcohol and beat and scold their comrades."

"I suggest that some comrades be put in solitary confinement as a form of punishment."

When Ding Wei heard this, his brows immediately frowned.

"Comrade Renjie, the Japanese division is attacking right now. Our Sui-Re-Cha Military Region has just been established and is facing severe challenges. We need to put the rectification work aside for now. Everyone must go to the front line to fight the Japanese."

"You and I, including all the staff, must all fight on the front lines."

"As cadres sent by the headquarters, we must set a good example, take the lead and charge to the front line."

"I promise you that we will deal seriously with comrades who violate discipline. We will punish those who deserve punishment and educate those who deserve education."

As for the most urgent task, it must be to destroy the Japanese 108th Division first.

At this critical juncture, if Zhang Renjie dares to cause trouble, Ding Wei doesn't mind dealing with him.

When he heard that he was going to the front line, the guy in front of him immediately softened a little.

In front of Ding Wei and Zhou Weiguo, he stood firm.

It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. It is the time when Ding Wei is assigning tasks to each department, and you, Zhang Renjie, come here to cause trouble. Well, then you will be the captain of the commando team.

Looking at Zhang Renjie whose face was flushed, Ding Wei waved his hand impatiently.

"Hurry up and prepare. Everyone will go to the battlefield this afternoon."

The combat mission has been issued. Time is of the essence and all units must speed up preparations and deploy at designated combat locations.

Zhang Dabiao organized several commandos on his own and received special arrangements from Ding Wei, who assigned him a commando captain.

But when Zhang Renjie and others arrived at the front line, they found that he was a pretty boy.

Can such a person hold a large knife?

Have you killed a few Japanese soldiers and seen blood?

Da Biao is a smart man. He understood what Ding Wei meant immediately after he rolled his eyes.

He shook the other's hand with enthusiasm, "Oh, you are an outstanding cadre sent by the headquarters to supervise the battle. My Third Detachment is blessed. This time the assault team will be led by Comrade Renjie."

"With cadres leading by example, the soldiers will surely be able to kill the enemy ruthlessly."

Zhang Renjie smiled awkwardly, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

When the heavy pistol was placed in his hand, he was first surprised to recognize this Soviet pistol, and then he felt extremely heavy.

Are you going to use this gun to fight the Japanese?

The main force of the Third Detachment was deployed along the mountainous area near Pangjiabao, focusing on building heavy machine gun fortifications at intersections.

Zhang Dabiao is good at attacking, and the Shanxi-North Column is also good at attacking. Simply defending will only lead to passive attacks.

Withstand the frontal pressure, press in from all sides, and let the assault team rush forward. The best defense is offense.

The soldiers made emergency preparations, and Kong Yong's advance team deployed defenses in the Longmenkou area and occupied advantageous terrain in the mountainous area.

The 108th Division came with great force, using two infantry regiments to lead the way and sweep the area surrounding the mountainous area.

Behind them was the field artillery regiment, pressing forward together.

The devils of the Kwantung Army were particularly arrogant, their uniforms were different, there were many veterans, and their combat effectiveness was not bad.

Because the Kwantung Army had never fought any tough battles and suffered little losses, it basically stayed in the Northeast region except for the Battle of Nomonhan.

There were small-scale mobilizations later to participate in mopping-up operations, and the opponents were just Eighth Route Army personnel who were short of guns and ammunition.

After the mopping-up operation, they returned to their base.

Zhang Dabiao's Third Detachment is the largest and most powerful detachment under Ding Wei.

Nine battalions were reorganized. Although many puppet army defectors joined in, the backbone was still the foundation of the New Third Regiment.

As soon as the charge sounded, everyone rushed forward to teach the Japanese a lesson.
