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

The news that the elite troops of the Kwantung Army are to be transferred has been circulating for a long time. Now it is July and the transfer order should take effect.

According to intelligence analysis by undercover personnel, the Japanese military high command intends to withdraw 10 complete units and 25 troops in the second half of the year.

The elite Kwantung Army was deployed to the southern islands in an attempt to use the Kwantung Army, which was outnumbered by a hundred, to stop the U.S. offensive.

"Old Ding, according to reliable information, there is news that five elite divisions will be transferred recently."

Ding Wei suddenly became energetic.

The so-called million-strong Kwantung Army reached its peak in 42.

At the end of last year, the Kwantung Army had two fronts and an armored army under its command, as well as the Second Air Force Command, which was definitely a force that could compete with the Far East Army.

The Battle of Nomonhan is said to have inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese, but it also made the Far Eastern Army realize this group of crazy people, and they were left with lingering fears.

These guys who dare to rush under the tank with explosives tied to their bodies are really not to be trifled with.

Didn’t the Russians see that they had deployed more than one million troops in the Far East, but they didn’t dare to fight the Japanese?

Ding Wei sneered, he would never tolerate the Japanese.

If the other side has more people, then attack with tens of thousands more.

"In terms of tactics, the Japanese have only a few tricks up their sleeves, and we have already pretty much defeated them. Our only advantage lies in logistics, equipment, and heavy weapons."

In this regard, Ding Wei's troops are not bad either.

The plan was to use the advantage of defense in the Yanshan area to destroy 1-2 divisions of the Japanese army and break the situation.

Let the Japanese Kwantung Army bleed.

Don't lose the courage to shoot just because the enemy is too strong.

The Zhang Dabiao and Gao Qing columns were mainly focused on defense and deployed along the mountainous areas of Chifeng and Chengde.

Block the invading Japanese and puppet troops.

The First Cavalry Detachment continued to advance along the Xilamulun River towards the heartland of the Kwantung Army, disrupting the situation in the rear.

Make full use of mobile forces to attack and harass garrison troops along the river.

The Yanqing Detachment led by Taozi launched an active offensive against Changping, Huairou and Miyun. If they couldn't afford to offend the Kwantung Army, could they afford to offend the garrison in Beiping?

In order to guard against the pincer attack by the Kwantung Army and the North China Expeditionary Army, they took the lead in clearing out the northern Hebei and southern Rehe areas.

Between attack and defense,

Pick the weak ones first.

Taozi was a close relative of Ding Wei, so he could be considered to have been helped. He first took over the New Fifth Regiment and then expanded it into a detachment on this basis.

After growing and becoming stronger in the mountainous area, they were pulled to northern Hebei to fight.

I learned a lot from Ding Wei, and at the same time arranged the main forces of several companies and battalions, and showed a strong desire to attack when I first arrived at the territory.

They swept across the artillery tower stronghold and successively captured the garrison fortifications of the security forces.

Letting the main force at hand fight the puppet army and security forces is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

The 16th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese was in charge of the Peking area, and it felt like they were struggling to support the whole area.

The main force of the brigade was deployed to support the northern counties and engage in a head-on confrontation with Wang Tao's main battalion.

The team had excellent firepower and the unit had strong assault combat capabilities. They launched a series of breakthroughs and attacks and quickly defeated the main force of the brigade.

Beat up the Japanese and puppet troops.

The roads along the mountain were littered with corpses and weapons and equipment abandoned by the Japanese.

After the brigade was formed, it has been responsible for public security operations and has never fought any serious tough battles.

A round of gun-to-gun and cannon-to-cannon attacks directly defeated the Japanese.

Not to mention the puppet troops who followed the devils in showing off their might, running around the mountainous areas like frightened ostriches.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Tao decisively launched an all-out attack, calling on nearby guerrillas and friendly forces to strike hard. He contacted the main force of friendly forces in northern Hebei and launched a joint encirclement.

The Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy losses and retreated to the Peking area in disgrace.

Relying on the fortifications that had been built long ago, they adopted a defensive posture.

I can’t beat him, I can’t touch him at all.

After the main force of the Japanese army retreated, they were also very cruel and forced the North China Security Army to join the war.

There have always been the largest number of puppet troops in North China. From the beginning of the war, some people chose to surrender to the enemy and sell out their country. This group of people has no bottom line and will call whoever gives them food "daddy".

He treats him better than his own father and can't wait to call him ancestor.

In 37, more than 5000 people were organized into the North China Security Army, and they followed the devils to sweep the surrounding areas. Now there are more than 9 people, organized into 14 groups.

There are three regiments stationed in Miyun District, and there is also an artillery team.

Wang Tao set up defenses along the Chaobai River and prepared ambush positions in advance, waiting for the three puppet army regiments and artillery team to enter the encirclement.

The artillery and mortar battalions at hand opened fire quickly.

The shells swept through the ambush circle.

Three battalions confronted the main force of the puppet army head-on, and the main force of two battalions were deployed on the left to attack the puppet army's flank and rear.

A simple encirclement and penetration directly disrupted the puppet army's command center. The firepower was so fierce that the puppet army fled in panic.

The North China Security Army was different from other puppet armies. This group of troops was equipped with four Japanese instructors. They were training troops in the past and could also serve as supervisors during combat.

The Japs were also very aware of the puppet army's combat effectiveness. If no one was watching, they would dare to fire blanks and fish in vain.

But they obviously overestimated the puppet army's fighting spirit. When they saw their headquarters being blown to pieces, the puppet army immediately lost their fighting spirit.

He pointed his gun at the Japanese officers, killed four instructors, and then decisively surrendered.

The three puppet army regiments were in complete chaos. Some surrendered, some fled. Under the leadership of the three regiment commanders, the defeated soldiers retreated all the way back to Miyun County.

It would be fine if they just threw away their guns and cannons, but people were crowding and stepping on each other.

The fellow who could not ride a horse grabbed the horse and jumped on its back, but was thrown off and broke his leg.

There is no need for the Eighth Route Army to attack, the puppet army can kill themselves.

The artillery fire moved closer and the commandos charged into the battlefield.

The surrendered puppet soldiers were not killed after they laid down their weapons, but those who were still resisting were killed immediately.

The battle of Chaobai River ended quickly, killing 1034 puppet soldiers, capturing 1340, seizing countless guns and ammunition, including 8 mountain cannons and 120 artillery shells.

Six mortars and 6 shells were seized.

Our side lost only 34 soldiers.

The Tenth Group of the North China Security Army was almost destroyed. The remaining hundreds of people retreated back to the county town, their minds confused and their courage frightened by the killing.

The so-called group of the puppet army is not the group army we understand in our daily life. It usually only has 2-3 regiments and at most three to four thousand people.

In fact, these guys were well trained. After the Japanese occupied North China, they set up many schools.

The original intention was to train a group of puppet soldiers who were enthusiastic about the empire and train them in courses such as topography, tactics, and politics.

The officers in the puppet army are all junior high school and high school graduates. They are uniformly issued equipment and receive monthly allowances. Those who perform well have the opportunity to visit and inspect the island country.

There is no problem with reading and punctuating, no problem with tactical training, and even the military uniforms are designed individually.

He claims to be pro-Japanese but he never flatters Japan.

A bunch of guys who have become puppet soldiers, what are they still pretending to be?

The only problem is the gristle.

Among those who can serve as puppet soldiers, how many of them are tough enough?

Letting a group of spineless people lead the troops to fight is simply asking for their deaths.

If one soldier is incompetent, the whole army will be incompetent as well. This principle has been passed down for a long time.
