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

The Suirecha Military Region made strategic adjustments in May, with three infantry columns heading to the front line.

At the same time, all artillery fire was directed to the front line.

Heavy artillery is difficult to transport, so Wang Chao needs to repair the road at the same time to facilitate the mobile troops to enter the Northeast region from Chabei.

We sent more troops to the northeast front, added an additional column of troops, and deployed all our heavy firepower weapons.

The 23rd Division alone cannot stop the enemy. The Japanese must send more troops and add 4-6 regiments to defend the Suirecha Military Region.

The Third Front Army had two armies under its command, and at its peak there were six or seven divisions, which were used to defend the Recha area.

This front army was only formed in 43. Hou Gongjun served as the commander of the front army. Most of his men were young people from settled settlements who were insufficiently trained and could only be used for guard duty.

The only thing they can show off is the 23rd Division. It is still a question whether the combat effectiveness of the rest of the troops can reach the second-rate level.

The three columns of Ding Wei have a strength of more than 50,000 troops. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are definitely on par with the Type A divisions.

These 50,000 people are the main force, and do not include the corresponding logistical troops.

According to the standards of the Japanese three-regiment division, each infantry regiment had only more than 3000 people, and the three columns were equivalent to three Type A divisions.

The Sui-Re-Cha Military Region, with its strong military and powerful cavalry, has even greater combat effectiveness.

The only pity is Nishiyama Fukutaro. This old guy was transferred back from the Pacific battlefield and wanted to enjoy a good life in the Kwantung Army.

After all, after the establishment of the Kwantung Army, there were not many major wars. It mainly focused on defense and confrontation with the Far East Army, and lived a relatively comfortable life.

He never expected that just after being transferred back and escaping from the American bombing, he would come into conflict with Ding Wei.

We couldn't even make it through the laning phase, and now the pressure has increased.

The 23rd Division, after losing two regiments of troops, the main forces of the 64th and 72nd Regiments were damaged, and new soldiers were replenished.

The combat capability of the entire division is probably not enough to be considered a Type A division.

The Sui-Re-Cha military region's actions were not small, but without aerial reconnaissance, the enemy's intelligence system was greatly damaged. They did not detect the arrival of Wang Chao's column in time.

After participating in the Battle of Longcheng, the strength of the Fourth Column has been qualitatively improved. After absorbing the new brigade of Yulin and the elite of the 358th Regiment, its combat effectiveness has been further improved.

The entire column has nearly 2 people, with complete light and heavy firepower, as well as a complete American mountain artillery battalion.

When they first arrived, they showed a strong offensive momentum. This group of men from the northwest were committed to shoving the big knife into the devil's belly.

You can put it in your mouth or from the bottom.

The men under Ding Wei are guys who are not afraid of tough battles. They hold their strength to show their skills, press forward with guns and cannons, and make continuous breakthroughs.

They took turns to fight and defeated the Japanese defensive positions.

The main force of the military region showed its strength, attracting the attention of the Kwantung Army.

At the Kwantung Army headquarters, the three generals of the front army and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army were all present, as well as Major General Itagaki, who had repeatedly taken the blame, and his trusted nephew Takahashi Hiroshi (Liao Fei).

As a mere lieutenant, Hiromoto Takahashi was not qualified to attend a meeting of this magnitude.

Because his father was also a major general and had infiltrated the Soviet Union himself and brought important intelligence to the Kwantung Army, he was allowed to attend this meeting as an exception.

Two pieces of intelligence: the Russians' counterattack was successful, and the war on the Western Front had taken a huge turn for the better. The Allied counterattack had completely turned from defense to offense.

The upgraded version of the Soviet main battle tank T34, the T34/85 medium tank, is extremely powerful and can pose a threat to Germany's heavy tanks.

At the beginning of the year, the Soviet Union began to fully produce new tanks. A large number of T34/85 tanks left the factory and joined the stranglehold on the battlefield.

Compared with the T34/76 models, the latter has stronger armor and more powerful firepower. Either way, it is not comparable to the 39 BT tank.

The Type 97 medium tanks in the hands of the Japanese were inferior to the T34 in all aspects. Once the war on the Western Front was over, they had to consider how the Kwantung Army could fight against the tank flood.

The main issue today is to discuss whether the Far East will send troops to the Northeast and how the Kwantung Army should prepare for the battle?

"Don't be scared by tanks. Our empire's soldiers can be tied to explosives and die together. I don't believe the Soviets still have hundreds of thousands of tanks."

"The Battle of Nomonhan has proven that the Soviet tank torrent is not invincible. The two sides are just equally matched."

The speaker was the commander of the First Front Army, Seiichi Kita. The Kwantung Army was the representative of the fanatic faction, and the First Front Army was the madmen among the fanatics.

The Third Army and the Fifth Army under this front were both well-known war maniacs who often proposed sending troops to the Far East to clash with the Soviets.

The first fortress of the Kwantung Army, the Hutou Fortress, was built under his supervision. It was known as a military fortress that could defeat the Russians.

Gong Chun of the Third Front Army was about to speak when he was interrupted. The commander-in-chief knew what he was going to say and that the current meeting was not worth discussing.

The Sui-Re-Cha military region was just a stubborn disease, which was painful but not fatal. Ding Wei's strength could make the Kwantung Army feel sick, but it was not enough to shake the foundation of the Kwantung Army.

The only army that can destroy the Kwantung Army must be the Far Eastern Army.

The Chinese army's overall strength and foundation are so far behind that they are not worth mentioning.

A group of local guerrillas who don't even have industrial capabilities can't possibly become the right-hand man who destroys the Kwantung Army.

Hou Gong Chun cursed in his heart, what the hell are these Eighth Route Army soldiers? Ding Wei already has artillery, tanks and planes, and has already taken care of his Third Front Army Flying Regiment.

Whether a chronic disease is fatal or not depends on where it grows. If it grows on the feet, it is certainly not fatal.

But if it grows on the chest or on the heart, even the slightest wound can be fatal.

The Far Eastern Army is the open enemy, and the Suirecha Military Region is the enemy that stabs you in the back.

Liao Fei remained silent, just listening to how the Japanese were going to deploy.

In order to deal with possible attacks from the Far East Army, it is necessary to prepare troops in advance and place the main forces on the front line.

With such a long line of defense, even if the Far Eastern Army sends troops, it will choose a main direction of attack.

From the Trans-Manchuria region or from the Trans-Baikal region?

Attacking from the west, you can deploy troops in the western fortress area.

If you attack from the north, then deploy troops in the north.

The Intelligence Department’s top priority was to find out what the Soviets were thinking and intercept their intelligence.

"The empire is in danger of extinction. I hope you can cooperate and not become a black sheep like the navy."

The internal meeting held in the morning was leaked in the afternoon, with Liao Fei carefully delivering the information.

The Japanese Kwantung Army's attention is on the north, so we can take this opportunity to infiltrate the Northeast region and add some comrades.

Those working behind enemy lines were living on the edge of a knife every day, using intelligence that could change the situation to help the Eighth Route Army choose its strategic direction in advance.

The headquarters is also considering the need to establish a base in the Liaoning, Jilin and Fengtian areas, and to think ahead about ways to expand in the Northeast.

The name of Ding Wei's Sui-re-cha Military Region is inaccurate. It should be Sui-re-ji-cha. This unit is closest to the Northeast and is the best choice to march into the Northeast and develop a base.
