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

The injured Yoshimoto Sada was shocked. What was going on? How did the Eighth Route Army break in?

How did Kenkichi Ikegami command the troops? He had tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of artillery pieces, but he lost the city wall defense line so easily?

"Commander, this is not the time to worry about losing the city. Let's get on the plane and evacuate."

The First Army's staff and others wanted to grab him and fly away.

If we were a step slower, the Eighth Route Army would have arrived at the door.

"No, you guys go, you can go, but I can't. I have to be responsible for the First Army, this is my job, bring me my knife."

Yoshimoto Sadaichi took a deep breath. He had already anticipated the outcome over the past few days. The worst that could happen was suicide by disembowelment.

Facing the sea, shouting in unwillingness, a knife stabbed himself in the stomach.

A caesarean section requires tremendous courage.

At this point, Yoshimoto Sadaichi was also a man, with blood and intestines all over the floor.

The person was sitting in a wheelchair, and bright red blood was flowing down the stairs.

Until the Eighth Route Army actually came and broke into the First Army’s headquarters, the old guy was still holding on.

The shouting and screaming continued from morning to afternoon, and the cleaning task in the city was extremely heavy.

This was a large city of more than 100,000 people, with all kinds of people mixed together. There were also many traitors lurking in the crowd, trying to avoid interrogation.

The soldiers searched layer by layer, from hidden streets to sewers, searching for the remaining Japanese soldiers, pulling them out and killing them one by one.

Wang Chao entered the city and took charge of the situation.

Subsequently, the 358th Regiment and the Jinzhong Column also rushed into the city and cleared out the remaining Japanese troops near the city defenses.

The closer it gets to this point, the more careful you should be.

Who knows, there might be a group of beasts hiding in that Gala, holding grenades and ready to die with you.

It is not a pity to die on the way to charge, but the most regrettable thing is to die at the hands of these beasts while winning the battle and cleaning up the battlefield.

Veterans guide new recruits and make sure they are extremely careful if they sense anything suspicious.

In addition to technology, the battlefield requires a certain level of acumen and a sense of danger.

Now is different from the early days of the war, the conditions are poor, the equipment supply is insufficient, and the ammunition is tight. If there is sufficient ammunition, it is better to waste a grenade than to risk one's life.

Throw a grenade over first to explore the way, then rush over to fight.

Clearing the trenches is particularly important, because you never know in which cat ear hole there may be seriously injured Japanese soldiers hiding, with grenades tied to their bodies, waiting for your comrades to approach.

The reason why the Japanese are so difficult to defeat is that they fight stubbornly and refuse to surrender.

Unlike the Western way of fighting, if you can't win, just surrender. There is no need to fight to the death.

Kenkichi Ikegami fled by plane, and some senior officials of the General Staff also withdrew quickly.

The old Japanese soldiers who had been deceived were left in the city, holding their guns and refusing to give up resistance even if they died.

Then send them to heaven.

There were sporadic gunshots and explosions, and a small-scale battle broke out during the process of cleaning up the battlefield.

There are still small groups of devils gathered together and hiding in dangerous places.

Zhou Weiguo personally gave the order, acting as a temporary combat staff officer on the front line, and ordered the troops to take control of the hospital and field hospital.

Especially Japanese doctors, they should be protected unless necessary.

These people were different from the murderous devils. Many doctors became members of the anti-war alliance and participated in the anti-fascist fight.

The Eighth Route Army, which had backward medical conditions, needed highly skilled surgeons, and more importantly, they needed medicines and surgical tools, which could sometimes save many young lives.

Chu Yunfei packed his clothes and waited until the afternoon before setting out for the city.

Looking at the chaos in the city caused by artillery fire, in sharp contrast was the orderly marching of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

They are rapidly taking control of Japanese shops, traitors' properties, military warehouses, etc.

These people were holding guns with determined eyes, making people feel like they were facing a powerful enemy.

"Brother Yunfei, our Fourth Column is extremely grateful that the 358th Regiment can come to our aid."

Wang Chao was not familiar with Chu Yunfei, but Captain Chu was also considered a celebrity in the Jin War Zone.

His 358th Regiment was a reinforced regiment, and its combat effectiveness was ranked top in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

If Commander Yan had not been suspicious and given the position of division commander, he would have played a greater role in the War of Resistance.

"Commander Wang, I have long heard of your name. You are a brave warrior from the Northwest Army. Your attack on Longcheng has really opened my eyes. Your army's ability in hand-to-hand combat is second to none."

Wang Chao laughed and said that he couldn’t lose his ability to guard the house.

When equipment was scarce, a pistol and a broadsword were all they had. This was the fighting method that the Northwest Army was famous for.

When the enemy approached, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat, wielding a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other, and they had defeated many Japanese veterans.

When it came to Wang Chao's hands, the ability of close combat was further developed. Pistols and broadswords were essential, and submachine guns were also needed to suppress fire, making the troops more powerful in close combat.

During the street fighting, you could see these Northwestern Tigers jumping onto the roofs and throwing grenades at the Japanese.

There was no standard tactic. They charged at the enemy all at once, wave after wave, with courage in their hearts and bravery in their hearts.

Who dares to say that they are Suirecha's second-rate troops? In Chu Yunfei's opinion, with a little training, they can become an elite combat force.

If I encounter it in the future, I will have to be careful and cautious.

The soldiers of the Jinzhong Column came over to clean up from the south, and Kong Jie and Chu Yunfei knew each other.

Both sides greeted each other.

The current situation is simple. Ding Wei's two columns are about to take the city.

If the 358th Regiment comes to help, everyone will be happy. If they want to station troops in the city, Ding Wei will definitely make sure they never return.

The Shanxi Suiyuan Army has already ordered Chu Yunfei to stay in the city at all costs. He must be involved in such a great victory as retaking the capital.

It doesn't matter. Just a Chu Yunfei and the 358th Regiment can't cause any trouble.

The top priority was to count the military supplies in the city, rescue the wounded, and count the losses of each unit.

The spoils of war were given to Ding Wei as soon as possible.

There were 105 artillery pieces of various types in the city, including 75mm field guns, 150mm mountain guns, 78mm mortars, etc., all the damaged and intact ones were cleared together.

They can be repaired and maintained in a unified manner, and many old cannons can be used after repair.

The damaged artillery can only rely on how the military factory recasts it.

There were a huge amount of ammunition and artillery shells stored. In the First Army’s military warehouse, there were more than 8 artillery shells of various types, which had no time to be consumed or destroyed.

This group of beasts really intends to hold out for a year or two, and their ammunition reserves are very rich. There are more than 600 million rounds of machine gun bullets, and the seals are old. It is estimated that they were stockpiled a long time ago.

Ding Wei was most concerned about the arsenal, a complete industrial system that had been built at great expense.

It includes multiple branches including chemical industry, military industry, gunpowder, artillery factory, gun factory, etc.

They have been able to manufacture artillery since the Central Plains War period. Although it was just processing with supplied materials, it was at least the famous Jin-made artillery.

At its peak, the company produced 35 light and heavy artillery pieces, 100 mortars, more than 2 artillery shells, and 420 million bullets per month.

After being occupied by the Japanese, part of the equipment was transported and most of it was transferred to the Northeast by the Japanese invaders, leaving the arsenal here abandoned.

Although it has been abandoned for many years, the foundation is still there. As long as we invest in technical personnel, we can resume production in three to five months.

Not to mention artillery and the like, if we can resume production of ammunition, 400 million rounds per month will be enough to support the consumption of many troops.
