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

The midnight operation lasted until 12 o'clock in the evening before it finally stopped.

The armored soldiers drove tanks from outside the city into the city, and the friction sound produced by the tracks was so pleasant to the ears.

Ding Wei couldn't sleep, so he wrapped himself in a sheepskin coat and watched the tank company's actions, feeling very relieved.

Wang Chengzhu has become very mature. From a sweet potato wine brewer, he has grown into the commander of the artillery column. He has assembled several artillery regiments under his command and holds Ding Wei's strongest combat power.

"Commander, let's go to my place for a drink. It's too cold today, and I can't stand it without sweet potato stew."

"Go away, I don't want to bother with you."

The beauty of the steel chariot was so overwhelming that he was overwhelmed by the sweet potato cake.

Ding Wei kicked Wang Chengzhu away and frowned as he thought about his next move.

He is good at analyzing problems from the overall perspective. The Suirecha Military Region has developed to its current point, what should it do next?

Preserve strength or continue to expand?

If we continue to expand, should we go northeast or northwest?

Or go north and confront the Russians head-on.

Any decision faces new challenges and requires him, as the helmsman, to judge the direction.

On the next morning, the Suiyuan Army, represented by Fu, had breakfast of millet porridge and eggs, and intended to find Ding Wei to discuss the issue of governing Suiyuan.

As the chairman of the province, he was entitled to all rights and interests. Guisui was the capital of Suiyuan. After it was recaptured by the Eighth Route Army, Wang Chao had been stationed there.

The capital should be given up and returned to him.

Political clashes often come down to who is more shameless.

But it is obvious that Ding Wei is more shameless.

He went to Xilin Gol in the north early in the morning to review the reorganization of the cavalry column, thereby avoiding communication with Fu and others.

After absorbing a large number of pseudo-Mongolian cavalry, can the three cavalry divisions guarantee their combat effectiveness?

On Wucheng's side, there was only Zhong Zhicheng accompanying him, who was just humming and hawing to get by.

He couldn't make up his mind about anything, and all he could think of was one sentence: "Wait for Commander Ding to come back and make the decision."

Mr. Fu and his right-hand men toured Wucheng from top to bottom for three days, but they didn't even see Ding Wei.

There is no point in continuing to waste time as Ding Wei doesn't show up at all.

Thanks to the so-called policy of joint resistance against Japan, otherwise, the Suirecha Military Region would have wiped out the mere 35th Army long ago.

The group was disappointed and after three days of hospitality, they returned to Baotou on their own.

The reorganization of the cavalry was faster than expected, thanks to Sun Desheng being ruthless enough to use the whip when necessary.

The saying that a filial son is born under the stick and an elite soldier is born under strict orders is absolutely true. After the strict implementation of military discipline, the combat effectiveness of the troops has increased sharply.

The cavalry fought in company units, charging, shooting, outflanking, and archery on horseback.

The horses panted heavily, blowing out a white line in the winter wilderness.

The three cavalry divisions are fully equipped with long and short weapons, as well as tank companies and artillery. They can not only fight guerrilla warfare, but also fight tough battles.

This is an absolutely mobile force that can cross mountains and forests and reach rivers and lakes.

Sun Desheng was not in the army. He personally led a group of elite troops to the Tongliao area to fight against bandits and the stationed Kwantung Army.

The signalman came over and reported the situation to Ding Wei.

"Commander, Wu Cheng called and said Fu and his party have evacuated."

Oh? Then you can go back.

Wang Chao and his party who were heading to northern Shaanxi also returned from Yulin. They didn't know what the situation was like, and Ding Wei still had to make a personal judgment.

Several off-road vehicles sped through the mountains and fields, returning from Xilin Gol to Zhangbei Military Fortress.

A group of Japanese prisoners for reform are also held here. As the battle progresses to the current stage, there are more and more anti-war factions within the Japanese army.

More people are aware of the harm this war of aggression brought to both sides, not only to the Chinese people, but also to a large number of ordinary people on the island.

The government has been promoting the success of the war, but the age of conscription has been lowered, from 18 to 16, or even lower. The supply of materials required of each household has been increasing day by day.

All these things reveal one thing: the honor of the imperial soldiers is built on the suffering of ordinary people.

Whether it was the Kwantung Army or the Southern Expeditionary Army, the quagmire of any war consumed the national strength of both sides. Obviously, a small island country could not support such a long front.

The anti-war propaganda went smoothly, and a group of devils were willing to take up arms and fight back against fascism.

There were still many devils who felt the pain and atonement in the mines.

Among the six or seven thousand prisoners of war of the Independent Mixed Brigade, more than one thousand of them are willing to follow the Eighth Route Army to fight back against the Japanese.

We also have to thank the Japanese for this. There is a so-called 100-hour return to the team system. If you are missing for 100 hours, you are deemed dead and your family will enjoy preferential treatment.

Once captured, they either committed suicide or went back to the military court to do hard labor.

It would be better to stay in the Eighth Route Army, join the anti-war alliance, and let your family continue to enjoy preferential treatment.

Another good news is that Takeshita Shun is back. This colonel who was once a bad name has also gained a better reputation among the Japanese.

Many people have secretly supported his actions, believing that it has saved more people from disaster.

Relying on absurd beliefs, they committed devilish crimes. To whom were they loyal, the emperor or the murderous devil?

This man chose to exile himself, and in exile he found his true heart and was willing to work with Zhou Weiguo to end this war that should not have happened.

One can indeed feel the cross-border friendship between Zhou Weiguo and Takeshita Shun. After knowing that his friend had returned, Zhou Weiguo rushed over to greet him.

Although he looked dusty, Takeshita Shun still maintained the dignity of a samurai aristocrat. His tattered clothes did not hinder the clarity in his eyes.

The two hugged each other, patted each other on the back, and then smiled at each other.

Shun Takeshita decided to stand in the same trench and end this farce together with his friends.

When Ding Wei returned to Wucheng, Takeshita Shun had already changed into an Eighth Route Army uniform, washed it clean, and came over to talk to him.

The other party spoke good Chinese and told about his experience wandering in the Northwest region.

China's rear area paid a lot to support the battlefield.

"What good plans does Mr. Takeshita Shun have?"

"Commander Ding, I have decided to change my name to Zhou Zhujun. I will lead a team to the Kwantung Army to persuade my former friends to join the anti-war alliance. Gather this force and make some efforts to end the war."

It’s a good idea. Ding Wei has been deploying undercover personnel outside the customs.

The role of these undercover workers is limited and far less than that of Zhou Zhujun, who has military connections.

The Japanese army is not a monolithic entity, and disintegrating internal relations is likely to be more effective than using real guns and swords.

"Weiguo, you will take care of this matter. Prioritize Mr. Takeshita Shun's safety. There is no rush for infiltration and lurking."

This line can be considered and effort should be invested in.

Ding Wei still wanted to use the power of the Anti-War Alliance to kill the Japanese. The undercover personnel could obtain more useful deployment intelligence from the Kwantung Army.

This was of great help to the Suirecha Military Region.

Another way is to smuggle supplies and get military weapons from the Northeast. It would be even better if we could get some artillery.
