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

Just when Gao Qing was about to exchange the regiment flag for a battalion's weapons and equipment.

Ding Wei was at the Wucheng Command Headquarters, looking at a batch of guns lying in a private warehouse with a puzzled look on his face.

When annihilating the Japanese regiment, the bridge over the Yangchang River was blown up and 800 SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles were accidentally obtained.

The ammunition is compatible with the Mosin-Nagant, and it is equipped with a 300 optical sight and can be used as a sniper rifle.

This is a good thing. It appeared in the Soviet army at the beginning of World War II.

After the outbreak of the war, supplies were in short supply, making it impossible for the Soviet army to popularize semi-automatic rifles.

What people criticize is that it is complicated to maintain, easy to jam, insufficiently trained and of low overall quality, which is highly unacceptable to the Russian army.

This is because the soldiers do not know how to maintain the bullets, but more importantly, the rimmed bullets are not friendly to semi-automatic shooting.

On the contrary, the relatively well-trained Soviet Navy praised it highly.

Ding Wei really liked this gun, and he held it in his hand and tried it out. He even went to the army's training ground and fired 50 rounds of ammunition. Although he hadn't fired a gun for a long time, his skills were not rusty at all.

Isn’t this good equipment for the special operations team and Kong Yong’s advance team?

The special forces are well-trained and have high overall quality, so the maintenance of their firearms is no problem.

Kong Yong's advance team was a reorganization of the previous elite reconnaissance battalion, and there were many sharpshooters in the unit.

Semi-automatic rifles can be more effective when used by snipers.

"Call Duan Peng to me."

The special effects battalion needs submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles to improve firepower, so give them priority. Practice the use and aiming of firearms as soon as possible.

Duan Peng was in a hurry, not knowing what special mission the commander wanted him to complete. The special effects battalion was always ready for combat and would never slack off.

After entering the headquarters, he saw several semi-automatic rifles placed in front of Ding Wei, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Try out a new weapon!"

Ding Wei pushed the SVT semi-automatic rifle forward and handed it to Duan Peng.

It comes with a maintenance manual and a stock of spare oil and parts.

"Yeah, good stuff."

Duan Peng couldn't put it down. A soldier's love for a good gun is hard to suppress.

The water-jet rifle is not bad, but compared with a real semi-automatic rifle, its rate of fire is still not enough.

In addition, due to the weather in Northeast China, the bolt is easy to freeze, and you may need to kick it with your foot.

Going further north, it was even colder in Outer Manchuria where the Far Eastern Army was stationed. In order to solve the problem of freezing gun oil, the Russians often used yellow urine, a solution that was not mentioned in the instruction manual.

Flush it with a hot urine, then pick it up and use it.

300 of them were given to the special forces, and the remaining 500 were given to Kong Yong's advance team.

It's almost the end of October. Winter has come early, so it's time to prepare winter supplies in advance.

There are tens of thousands of people on hand, and the first, second, third and fourth columns all have more than 10,000 people, or are close to 10,000 people.

The remaining Fifth Detachment, Sixth Detachment and Cavalry Detachment also had several thousand people.

In addition to the troops directly under the headquarters, artillery, armored regiments, etc., the pure combat force is more than 6 people, and the logistics and transportation personnel, including recruits and reserve troops, exceed 7 people.

The troops grew at a rate of 1000 to 3000 people per month. Without Ding Wei's attention, the troops expanded rapidly and absorbed new recruits.

Especially in North China, three main battalions were sent out, and now they have been expanded into a regiment of 2000 people, which can be a troop of several hundred people at will.

After the reorganization, the local armed work teams and guerrillas joined the main regiments to fight, and were reorganized into the 1st, 2nd and 3rd independent regiments of the Sui-re-cha military region.

The three regiments together have about 6,000 to 7,000 troops, and are active in the central Hebei area.

Life got better, and toward the end of October, the various troops organized guerrilla raids and frequently attacked the devil's logistics lines.

Winter was about to come, and the Japanese also needed a large amount of supplies, such as cotton cloth, cotton, grain, vegetables, etc., which were transported by train, car, and horse carriage.

Once they passed through the Eighth Route Army's defense zone, they were targeted by local active anti-Japanese war troops, who suddenly attacked, killed the enemy and looted supplies.

The quality of the North China Expeditionary Army declined significantly, with many wounded soldiers, new recruits and old soldiers in the team.

The forcibly conscripted soldiers were of insufficient quality, poorly trained, and had weak fighting will.

They couldn’t even stop the so-called guerrillas, and there was a huge logistics crisis.

In just two weeks, more than a dozen train robberies occurred, and a large amount of stockpiled supplies were stolen by the Eighth Route Army.

Things are relative. If the Eighth Route Army robbed the supplies, the Japanese would have no supplies left.

General Gangcun was so angry that he slammed the table, but he was helpless about the current situation. Wildfires cannot be extinguished, and the sparks are becoming more and more dense.

Unlike the direct confrontation with the National Army, the harassment of the security zone by the Eighth Route Army was another kind of loss.

The Japanese strategy of fighting to support the war was difficult to implement and they were unable to successfully obtain useful resources.

Without resources, the long battle line will also be in crisis. With the failure of the sea battle, the logistics line of the Japanese army in the south collapsed.

In view of the situation in the Chinese war zone, it is necessary to open up a continental route to connect the Kwantung Army, North China, South China, and Southeast Asia.

Restore the supply of materials to combat troops through land transportation.

Life is tight, but we still need to prepare troops, save fuel, mobilize tanks, and open up the continental line.

Ding Wei basically understood the so-called Operation No. 1 plan of the Japanese, the last dance of the fanatics, even if they could mobilize 50 troops to fight.

What could they gain? At least after the troops were withdrawn from North China, they could no longer suppress the Eighth Route Army.

The Suirecha Military Region where he is located will also further expand its influence.

On the front lines of the battle, sneak attacks have been successful. Snipers have started to fire cold shots.

Kong Yong's advance team always stayed along the Jingfeng Railway, looking for opportunities to fight, and would take the opportunity as soon as it was available.

After the sharpshooters switched to semi-automatic rifles, these counterattacks became more frequent and fiercer.

The arrival of a heavy snow made the Japanese garrison troops tremble.

The accumulated snow could easily hurt the eyes, and in the vast expanse of white, there were many snipers covered in white cloth lying in ambush.

They can hide in the snow for a whole night, with their hands and feet so cold that they can hardly bend or stretch, and their blood so frozen that it is about to coagulate, yet they still act as if nothing has happened.

Just wait for the right opportunity and pull the trigger at the Japanese who come out to take a walk.

The continuous gunfire from the semi-automatic rifle killed three people including the lieutenant squad leader, with all the bullets hitting vital parts of their chests.

The Japanese soldiers stationed there were alarmed and they ran out with weapons in hand, approaching the sniper's position.

Little did they know that there was a group of people lying in ambush on both sides. The gunfire continued and all the Japanese who walked out of the stronghold were killed.

The ground was stained with blood, and the Japanese soldiers lay on the ground like dead dogs. Duan Peng led his men forward and pointed at the bodies on the ground.

"Strip off their cotton-padded jackets and boots, shoot the remaining devils in the stronghold, and take it down."

The special forces team had amazing infiltration capabilities. They lay in ambush for most of the night and captured a small stronghold along the railway in the early morning after a snowy night.

47 Japanese soldiers were killed and our side lost 0 people.

A group of people gathered around the stove, took out frozen potatoes from their bodies and roasted them over the fire. This was their morning ration.
