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

The column's attack was fierce, and they reached the Japanese position the moment the artillery fire stopped.

Amid the chaos of artillery fire, the confused Japanese soldiers just showed their heads and were covered by dense firepower.

Blood was flying everywhere and the bullet was flying towards the head.

The sounds of light machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles mixed together. The assault troops rushed to the front, clearly drawing their bayonets and charging forward.

The Japs who had not yet had breakfast looked extremely weak. The Kwantung Army, which was originally a very elite force, was broken through head-on and was completely defeated.

The Eighth Route Army is better at fighting with bayonets, which is their signature skill.

In addition to bayonet fighting, the deputy squad leader provided support with a submachine gun.

The Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another, with bullets piercing their chests.

In a short-range assault, a submachine gun is extremely intimidating.

The rifle fired once it was pulled. It had a drum magazine with 71 rounds of ammunition and a strong ability to fire continuously. The ammunition carrier carried the bullets and charged with the deputy squad leader.

While changing bullets, he took out his pistol and fought back, killing 5 Japanese devils in a row.

It’s impossible to deal with the Kwantung Army. Isn’t it said that the Eighth Route Army is short of weapons and equipment and ammunition?

This group of guys is equipped with both long and short weapons, and the team is also equipped with pistols.

In the Japanese army, the Nambu pistol was a special item that only officers could carry.

The National Army was very fond of the Nambu pistol and carried it with them, not for use, but purely for showing off and proving that they had killed Japanese officers.

The defending Japanese troops suffered heavy losses, as they had no adequate fortifications and no fire support.

I can't even win in a bayonet fight.

If it was just a bayonet fight, the Japs would not be afraid at all. Even if the Eighth Route Army was powerful, the two sides could maintain a one-to-one exchange ratio.

The Kwantung Army devils were well-trained, and their hand-to-hand combat skills have always been worthy of attention.

The key is not simply a bayonet fight. The introduction of a large number of PPSh submachine guns has doubled the Eighth Route Army's close combat assault capability.

The bayonet fight was purely due to the lack of automatic fire.

When there were submachine guns and self-defense pistols, they were not much more powerful than bayonets.

During the Pacific War, the Japanese also wanted to fight the Americans with bayonets, but what greeted them were flamethrowers and submachine guns.

Lost myself in the sound of onboard charge.

The Eighth Route Army's attack was coordinated with submachine guns and assisted by bayonets. When they got close to the enemy, bayonets were more likely to expand the results than shooting.

We are already face to face, so I don't have the time to pull the trigger for you.

The bayonet stabbed into the heart of the Japanese, quickly knocking down a large number of them.

It is said that when the Japanese soldiers were fighting with bayonets, the bullets would be ejected. It's not because they had some crappy Bushido, but simply because the Type 38 rifle had strong penetrating power in close combat, and the penetrating damage was not enough to be fatal.

Fewer shooting opportunities will also affect the quality of hand-to-hand combat.

The real battlefield is about choosing the most effective means of killing the enemy, rather than blindly charging with bayonets.

The Eighth Route Army's tactics are more practical and can better bring out their advantages.

After the troops pressed forward, the submachine guns and bayonets worked together to scare the Japanese into submission.

Due to their small stature, they did not have an advantage in bayonet fighting. In addition, the Eighth Route Army also had a tradition of bayonet fighting, so they were not inferior in daily training.

The frontal breakthrough caused the Japanese to suffer a river of blood.

The bayonet pierced into the flesh with a "swoosh", and then the knife was pulled out fiercely, and blood spurted out.

The soldiers' bodies and faces were covered in blood. They were like devil-slaying Vajra crawling out of hell, slaughtering the human-shaped beasts in front of them. The Japanese were the beasts that deserved to go to the eighteenth level of hell.

Until there was no Japanese soldier standing in sight, the order to retreat was given.

Just as it came in like a flood, it goes away like a flood.

The main force retreated in an orderly manner and cleaned up the battlefield as well.

Thousands of people were divided into small groups, with companies as the smallest units, and retreated into the mountains.

Xishan Fu Tailang was confused. He had never seen such tactics during the battle in the Pacific.

They come like the wind and go like the wind. Do the Eighth Route Army treat their own position as a back garden?

Come when you want and leave when you want.

The key point is that he didn't have any means of counterattack. The enemies on the front line were killed in pieces, and the bodies of the devils were lying all over the ground.

The scene was a mess. There was half a leg that had been blown off in the porridge in the iron pot, and the white rice porridge had turned dark red.

What a waste of food, I didn't eat a single bite.

Looking at the vast mountains at this moment, the Japanese lieutenant general felt as if he had no idea where to start.

The main enemy force could not be found, and all we could see were mountains.

We can consider dividing our troops and sending the Japanese and puppet troops into several groups to enter the mountains. Once a battle breaks out, we can quickly assemble at that location.

It seems that all the Japanese officers know this tactic: divide and attack.

The Japanese didn't have any extraordinary tactics. They simply relied on their industrial advantages to carry out the barrage tactics of World War I.

Artillery bombarded and infantry advanced.

When the overall quality of the Eighth Route Army improved, the Japanese tactics no longer worked.

Especially when facing Ding Wei's elite troops, the troops who were divided into two groups and entered the mountains immediately encountered counterattacks from hidden areas.

Unfamiliar with the terrain, the deployment, and the ammunition reserves of the Eighth Route Army, the Japs rashly entered the mountainous area, causing further losses.

Especially in mountainous areas, there are many hidden individual works.

He dug a deep pit in advance, hid behind the weeds, suddenly popped out and threw grenades into the crowd.

The dense weeds became the best cover for the Eighth Route Army.

Individual soldiers, squads, companies and other small groups of troops have various means of counterattack, and when fighting alone, they often show surprising performances.

The Japanese invaders who entered the mountainous area were quickly defeated.

The biggest characteristic of the Japanese devils is their stubbornness. Their training is almost perverted, and every devil is like an emotionless killing machine.

When encountering difficulties, we just blindly fight and defend.

When the weapons and equipment of both sides were similar, or when the Japanese army was at a disadvantage in firepower, there were almost no examples of the weak defeating the strong. This kind of stubbornness and extremism would increase the level of casualties.

For example, right now, even though they knew that Ding Wei’s troops had set up various traps, the Japanese still rushed into the mountains.

After being hurt, they quickly sent another wave of reinforcements, attempting to kill their way through the mountainous area with their elite individual soldiers.

The two sides fought on the hillside, and the Japanese were beaten so badly by the Eighth Route Army that appeared from all directions.

Multiple troops advanced forward and fought their way into the heart of the mountainous area. Everything around them looked the same, and they couldn't figure out where they were even after looking at the map.

It seemed like a big melee had occurred.

This is exactly the effect Ding Wei wanted. The team's firepower is superior to that of the Japanese, and the threat of aircraft and artillery will be reduced during the melee.

The Kwantung Army’s planes can’t possibly bomb their own people.

Taking advantage of their familiarity with the mountainous terrain, they relied on the terrain to carry out blocking, surprise attacks, guerrilla warfare, and outflanking attacks.

Each company was active in an area, cooperating with the main battalion to form an encirclement offensive.

A large-scale war broke out, and Ding Wei asked Zhang Dabiao to prepare reserve troops alone.

"The devils are good at night raids, which is also our specialty. Arrange the reserve forces and set up reserve firepower. I want to catch the big fish at night."

"Duan Peng, get the special operations battalion to assemble. A division's lieutenant general headquarters is still of some value to you. Find it and destroy it."

"Defend the country, arrange the armored regiment to form defensive firepower at night."

"I will fight the 23rd Division at night."

This battle will test the resilience of both sides and their reserve forces.

The Japs relied on their tens of thousands of troops. Even if they lost a thousand, they still had tens of thousands left, so they could be defeated by the battle.
