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

The message conveyed was very clear, pointing out the plan to transfer a Japanese division to North China for combat, and the plan to transfer eight divisions from the Kwantung Army to support the Pacific battlefield.

Ding Wei was basically clear about this. The Kwantung Army had 600,000 to 700,000 people at its peak, but now more than 100,000 elite troops have been withdrawn, and its strength has been greatly reduced.

On the contrary, the strength of the Far East Army and Suirecha Military Region increased.

We can consider launching a large-scale offensive to destroy another 1-2 Japanese divisions.

It is basically determined that the intelligence personnel are located in Xinjing.

Ding Wei could only wait for the right time and order the troops to rest.

Hurry up and prepare supplies for the winter. According to intelligence, the Japanese will dispatch a division to fight in North China at the beginning of the year.

The combat goal is to destroy this division.

Use the winter to prepare supplies and at least get enough fuel from the Soviets to support the armored brigade's operations.

We should nourish the spirit internally and carry out a new round of ideological education for the soldiers.

A large-scale internal investigation will be carried out to check for spies in Rehe, Chabei and Suidong areas.

Continue to sweep the bandits, traitors, and puppet troops in the mountainous areas, expand influence, and isolate the cities.

Duan Peng was already waiting outside the door. This man assassinated the major of the Suizhou County gendarmerie alone and escaped successfully. The role of the special forces in this operation cannot be ignored.

"Commander, you are looking for me."

"You came just in time. There is an important matter to be assigned to the special forces."

Ding Wei asked Duan Peng to sit down and have a cup of hot tea to warm himself up.

Some undercover workers of the Suirecha Military Region have penetrated deep into the Northeast region and have more or less passed back some intelligence.

There is information about the Japanese army's deployment, artillery information, factory locations, etc.

There is too little intelligence and not much useful content.

Undercover personnel need more support, and special forces are the most suitable for this.

After Zhou Weiguo freed himself to serve as the detachment commander and instructor of the armored brigade, Duan Peng was basically in charge of the special operations battalion.

He is a man who is better than his teacher and is extremely talented in special operations.

In addition to his more than ten years of experience, his personal combat capability is quite good.

Select 30 special operations personnel, send them to the Northeast region, cooperate with intelligence personnel, and do something.

Duan Peng needs to arrange this matter and cooperate with the political commissar to issue the task.

As the commander of the Sui-re-cha military region, Ding Wei had a higher authority to obtain information. He already knew who was lurking in the Kwantung Army.

The Eighth Route Army has always arranged for personnel to study in the Soviet Union to learn advanced ideas, advanced technology, and new combat concepts.

The man was Liao Fei, a reconnaissance staff officer who studied in Moscow. Because he looked similar to a Japanese and spoke fluent Japanese, he successfully infiltrated the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department.

The Soviet side had been in contact through a single line, and after successfully penetrating the Kwantung Army, it transferred this line to the Suirecha Military Region.

That is, in Ding Wei's hands.

For such confidential matters, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Even Duan Peng doesn't know the details.

In the short term, we must first ensure the safety of our comrades and infiltrate the Xinjing area so that we can pick up the hidden comrades at any time.

In addition, we must continue to infiltrate the Northeast region. The mass base here is poor, and there are many puppet Manchukuo regimes, puppet troops, and bandits. We cannot grasp the masses' voice and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the local area.

The fight against bandits cannot stop, and more cavalry should be deployed to clear out the Greater Khingan Range mountainous area.

Sun Desheng's reorganization has begun to take shape. He can consider advancing into the villages during the period when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow to reduce the bandits' active space.

Banditry was rampant, so we had to rely on suppressing bandits to establish our reputation, and then we could start land reform. We had to first firmly grasp Rehe, Chahar, and Mengjiang.

There is a lyric circulating here: Those who have money are afraid of being robbed, and those who have girls are afraid of being kidnapped.

The densely forested areas have become bandit dens.

Send in cavalry and cooperate with the reconnaissance company and snipers to clear the northwest of Chifeng.

This group of people have guns and cannons, so Ding Wei also arranged regular cavalry troops to fight head-on to see what the level of the bandits in the mountains is.

Let’s also take a look at Sun Desheng’s training of the cavalry division.

If you can't even deal with the bandits, you shouldn't be a column commander anymore. You might as well just feed the horses.

After receiving the order, Sun Desheng immediately arranged the reorganized 1st Cavalry Division to advance into the mountainous area east of Xilingol.

When it comes to fighting in the mountains, the Eighth Route Army is good at it.

Even if we have horses, we cannot forget the skills of guerrilla warfare.

In the bitter cold, it pressed forward along the mountainous area and entered the western area of ​​Tongliao.

The First Column responded here and cooperated with the Cavalry Division to advance to the north and expand the active territory.

He then ordered Wang Tao and Wang Chao's teams to report on the combat situation and troop deployment.

There were not many battles on Wang Chao's side, mainly a confrontation with the 35th Army in Sui West.

The 35th battle zone is divided into the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army. The main force of the Western Route Army is Mr. Fu’s th Army, which also has some capable fighters under his command.

Recently, I was assigned by Shancheng to borrow the road from Wucheng and enter the North China region.

This request is offensive, but it is reasonable and legal to pass through the defense zone in the name of the war of resistance.

What do you want?

Enter the Beijing and Tianjin areas in advance and deploy forces in North China?

After some consideration, Ding Wei agreed to the request to pass through and ordered Wang Chao to arrange a cavalry to escort the friendly troops across the border.

Although he had little interest in Suiyuan, Ding Wei always maintained a keen interest in the Yumen Oilfield.

If the Seventh and a Half Route Army did not exist, we could send troops to push towards Baotou and Wuyuan to deal with the arrogant Ma family army.

Focusing on the Jinzhong Column in the south, Kong Jie further developed and expanded it.

The Zhengtai line, which threatened important garrison cities such as Jinzhong and Yangquan, had been completely wiped out by him and Li Yunlong.

If the Japanese train wants to pass through, it must get their consent.

Call the division headquarters.

"Hello, teacher, I'm Ding Wei."

"I would like to ask you if the Jinzhong Column is still a unit of the Sui-re-cha Military Region. If it expands further south, it will have little to do with my military region."

Haha, this is not nonsense.

The Jinzhong Column was established, with the backbone members of Kong Jie's detachment promoted and three to four thousand new recruits deployed.

It was obvious that he wanted to snatch the meat from Ding Wei's mouth.

Some things were not said out of respect. Ding Wei came over to ask directly, and the division commander had nothing to be secretive about, so he directly decided that the Jinzhong Column would be separated from the Suirecha Military Region.

Transferred to the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region to fight.

"Ding Wei, you have done quite well in a detachment in northern Hebei, three regiments in central Hebei, and an advance regiment in eastern Hebei."

Upon hearing this, Ding Wei quickly hung up the phone.

Not only did they not gain any benefit, they also lost the Jinzhong Column and almost lost a detachment and three regiments.

The three regiments in Ji Zhong were developed from the main force battalions, and the three regiment commanders were still longing to return to Sui, Re, and Cha.

They are in Jin-Cha-Ji, but their hearts are still with Ding Wei.

As for the advance regiment of Jidong, Kong Yong is the target of Ding Wei's key training. The combat method of this regiment is different from that of other regiments.

We are preparing to develop into mobile forces in the future, so we can't just give them away casually.

Wang Tao's detachment belongs to his own troops, so it is even more impossible to give it away.

Forget it, it’s all just the loss of Kong Jie, don’t bother the division commander.
