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

Ding Wei had to go to the front-line command post to support the team. The battle was drawing to a close, and he had to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield and counting the supplies.

Otherwise, how can we get the supplies in our hands? We have to take the opportunity to mix them into the captured supplies and use them for the troops.

He also had to command the cavalry to press in from the rear, block the direction of Akagi, and leave the Japanese army's baggage train in the mountains.

At the Pangjiabao front, Zhang Dabiao missed the days when he took the lead in the charge and fought on the front line with his comrades.

The big knife chopped at the devil's head.

Now it’s no longer possible. He was also the commander of a detachment sitting in the command center, commanding tens of thousands of people in battle.

There is no commander leading the troops to charge into battle. This is far from the difficult period of the War of Resistance.

He touched the stubble on his head and put his hat back on.

Since we can’t charge into battle, we can even save a lot of money on hats.

The signalman came to report that Ding Wei and others had arrived at the front line of Pangjiabao.

Zhang Dabiao hurriedly stood up to greet them. The battle was still going on, but the overall situation had been decided. The Japanese invaders were blocked in the mountains, and it was only a matter of time before they were eaten.

There is no point in Ding Wei coming over at this time.

There is no need for him to hold the fort.

"Commander!"

The soldiers saluted one after another. The veterans of the army were all from the New 1st Regiment, and the newly reorganized soldiers also knew Ding Wei's name.

Zhang Dabiao welcomed Ding Wei into the command center with a smile and reported on the current combat situation.

"The Japanese launched several rounds of counterattacks, but were all suppressed. We reinforced the machine gun firepower of the encirclement, and each round of artillery fire reduced their manpower."

Ding Wei nodded and put on a serious look. The casualties of the troops were not optimistic.

In order to encircle this group of Japanese devils, thousands of people were lost, but the artillery regiment of the 108th Division was still able to exert its strength and inflict casualties on the attacking forces.

“Was there any pressure to eat them?”

Da Biao laughed and said, what pressure could there be? The Third Team could handle it.

"I plan to launch a large-scale offensive before dark to completely destroy the Japs' will to resist. Bring in artillery fire to destroy their firepower."

"If we delay this any longer, we will encounter more troubles. The North China Expeditionary Army, the Kwantung Army, and Wucheng are all receiving reinforcements. Our brother troops are fighting desperately to stop us."

There is indeed not much time left for the attack, so we need to launch another round of artillery fire to clear the enemy's outer firepower.

All armored units were pushed forward to destroy the main force of the Japanese division at all costs.

Ding Wei slammed the table and issued the order for the final general attack.

The artillery fire whizzed past, flew over the soldiers' heads, and landed in the center of the Japanese position.

The smoke filled the air, adding a layer of rain to the battlefield.

The trench was muddy and the soldiers were covered in mud and water, as if they had just crawled out of a quagmire.

Rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns can also get water in. This is when the performance of the firearms and their ability to adapt to the battlefield are tested.

Whether it is the Type 38 rifle or the water-breathing rifle, they are both very sturdy rifles. You can just pick them up and shoot without being affected at all.

The Japanese division commander, Lieutenant General Iwai Torajiro, had a gloomy look on his face. He had participated in many mopping-up missions in the early stages, and had never been in such a difficult situation.

The Watanabe Regiment lost contact, and the other two regiments suffered heavy losses and held their ground around the artillery regiment.

His eyes were determined and his body looked thin, but he always remained calm and composed at all times.

"General, the 3rd Army Headquarters has arranged reinforcements and sent aircraft for air support."

"The North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters is mobilizing the 110th Division to rush to our location and is expected to arrive at the battlefield tomorrow."

The signalman reported the information of the two reinforcements and waved his hand to let him retreat.

It was almost night time and aircraft support capabilities were limited.

As for the support of the North China Expeditionary Army, it is even more nonsense. If the North China Expeditionary Army could handle the situation, why would it deploy troops from the Kwantung Army?

He still needs to find a way to get out of his current predicament.

The Chinese troops' attack was so fierce that they wiped out most of his troops in just one day.

They surrounded them from three sides and pressed forward. They prepared a complete pocket formation to firmly seal the main force of their division inside the mountainous area.

Unheard of events, even more unprecedented.

The mobilization of the Eighth Route Army soldiers made the Japanese even more nervous. Is a new round of offensive coming?

After the artillery positions were cleared, they were still able to fight back, but they were blocked in this flat area and it was difficult for the Japanese artillery to play a role.

Howitzers, heavy artillery, and field artillery could advance and fire from outside the range of the Japanese artillery, creating a suppressive effect.

In terms of the quality and quantity of artillery, they were superior to the Japanese divisions.

Ding Wei ordered a general attack, with artillery fire covering the front line.

The so-called fortifications, firing points, trenches, etc. were all destroyed, and artillery fire spread over a large area.

The Japanese soldiers in the area covered by artillery fire could only pray for the emperor's protection.

The whistling artillery shells shattered their last hope. The emperor was not omnipotent and could not form a protective shield.

Grenades fell on the crowd, sending a group of Japanese soldiers into the sky.

The shock wave of the explosion created a huge sweeping force that was able to sweep away the Japanese heavy machine gun weighing more than 200 kilograms.

Large-caliber artillery has the greatest destructive power. When one shot is fired, no grass will grow within dozens of meters around.

The Japanese artillery positions were engulfed in flames, and all the mountain and field artillery assigned to the division were shut down, unable to compete with Ding Wei's artillery regiment.

The tanks appeared in sight, taking the lead in the offensive and attacking the Japanese headquarters.

Listening to the roar of tanks getting closer and closer, the Japanese division commander closed his eyes.

All the struggles that could be done have been made, and there is no way to reverse the decline of the battle.

The Eighth Route Army pressed forward from three directions. Amid the howling of artillery fire, more and more soldiers rushed forward, approaching the last line of defense of the Japanese invaders under the cover of night.

The assault team was mostly equipped with submachine guns, which could suppress the enemy with firepower the moment they exchanged fire with the Japanese.

The firepower of a submachine gun is greater than that of multiple bolt-action rifles.

Especially in close combat, facing those guys who are charging forward desperately, a submachine gun is far more useful than a bayonet.

Under the gunfire, many Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.

The tanks rolled over and destroyed the defensive firepower of the Type 92 heavy machine guns. With one shot, they blew the heavy machine gunners into pieces.

Breaking through from the center, the tanks moved like crazy, and two heavy machine guns swept the battlefield. Wherever they went, there was blood and slogans of "die in glory".

The battle lasted until the second half of the night, when the remaining forces of the Japanese division were wiped out. Soldiers from the three parties joined together to sweep the battlefield.

The main force joined forces with the advance regiment, and then launched an attack from Longmen Pass, crushing the Japanese army's baggage train.

The tanks led the way, followed by the infantry. The ground beneath their feet was filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, lying there in a mess.

Kong Yong's advance regiment fought resolutely and held their positions regardless of the Japanese army's charge.

After one company was wiped out, another was immediately replenished. It cost a heavy price, but the pocket formation was successfully blocked.

It was such a wonderful sound to hear our own tank regiment in action.

The battle on the main battlefield was over, and the soldiers gritted their teeth and pressed forward towards Chicheng and Chengde.

Taking advantage of the enemy's weak strength, we seized the territory in the Rehe Mountain area.

Expand the results of the battle and advance into the Yanshan area.

In just one day and one night, Ding Wei's Northern Shanxi Column wiped out the remaining Japanese invaders, seized a large number of weapons and combat supplies.

The Japanese 108th Division was almost destroyed, and the three main combat infantry regiments, cavalry regiment, and artillery regiment were wiped out.
