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

The Japs were forced to increase their troops. This was the best solution and the option that could resolve the war most quickly.

Reinforcements were sent from the Baichengzi direction in the north, and the mobile forces of the 117th Division provided support to the south.

It is necessary to strengthen the defense line of the 63rd Division and cooperate to block the offensive of Ding Wei's Fourth Column.

It is also necessary to relieve the pressure on the tank brigade, carry anti-tank weapons, and join the battle.

As long as a stalemate is formed, it will be enough for the artillery units of the 63rd Division and the howitzers of the 21st Regiment to be put into battle.

The Japanese need to pull the battle back to a tough battle, a situation of soldiers against soldiers and artillery against artillery, which is in their favor. They can use infantry fortifications to form a stubborn defensive zone.

The losses of defending and waiting for the attack are far less than those of the offensive party.

Ding Wei wanted to achieve mobile warfare and find targets to annihilate the enemy while on the move.

The Japs wanted to launch a decisive battle and use fortifications to wait for the enemy's move.

It all depends on the methods of both sides and the lightning offensive of the armored forces.

The current offensive situation of both sides, add a picture

From a big picture perspective, the Japanese 23rd and 63rd Divisions were in a pincer attack.

As long as the 23rd Division sends out mobile troops, it will be enough to attack the battlefield from the side and rear and relieve the pressure in the Tongliao area.

Moreover, the 23rd Division had a tank squadron and a search wing, which enabled it to achieve mechanized combat.

The mechanized troops under Fukutaro Nishiyama are the real rivals of the tank brigade and the mechanized combat brigade. The Japanese infantry regiment is not qualified.

At present, the 63rd Division Infantry Regiment is in a partial encirclement.

The column + 2 artillery regiments launched an offensive, but failed to get any favorable support and the front line was in jeopardy.

Do our best to destroy the enemy before the Japanese reinforcements arrive.

The Japanese army is mobilizing a large number of troops to form a counter-encirclement of the Tongliao area, aiming to wipe out Ding Wei's tank troops and main column in one fell swoop and fight a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle.

Early the next morning, the Fourth Column launched another offensive, selected Japanese positions, pressed in with artillery fire, and rushed forward to clear the positions.

In half a day, the Japanese infantry company was wiped out.

Following this strategy, taking advantage of local artillery firepower, we can easily wipe out 2-4 squadrons in a day, with our losses being minimal and the Japanese suffering huge losses.

Wang Chao said that there was no pressure in a battle of this scale and suggested that the Japanese regiment be wiped out in one bite.

His appetite grew bigger and bigger, depending on the strength of the Fourth Column, a full set of Japanese weapons, a complete American artillery battalion, and two artillery regiments to cooperate in combat.

When has there ever been such a prosperous war, with firepower pressing in and infantry clearing the way, the efficiency was incredibly high.

Ding Wei refused and took advantage of the smaller losses to wipe out four squadrons of the devil and wait for changes in the Japanese army.

It is much easier to select mobile targets than to eliminate entrenched targets.

The fighter jets acted as reconnaissance forces, conducting reconnaissance to the north and south respectively.

Air superiority is the biggest reliance of the Suirecha Military Region.

The tank brigade and mechanized combat brigade are stationed in Kailu County, awaiting new combat orders.

The BT Tank Regiment is in Kulun Banner, receiving fuel and preparing for a new impact operation.

As long as the Japanese division makes any move, these two armored units will quickly rush into the battlefield.

"The First Cavalry Division will advance towards Kulun Banner to support our Soviet tank regiment. Once the 23rd Division withdraws its troops, the First and Third Columns will launch a general offensive to seize Chifeng and Chaoshi."

"Secretly contact the anti-war alliance in Fuxin area, and consider attacking from both inside and outside if necessary to disintegrate the defense line of the 23rd Division."

"It is far better to eat up one Type A division than to eat up two Type D security divisions."

Now it depends on whether Fukutaro Nishiyama will send troops to support.

Order Gao Qing and Zhang Dabiao's columns to mobilize and remain vigilant at all times, and advance boldly once an opportunity arises.

The weather in August is full of thunder.

It was sunny yesterday, but today it is cloudy.

The Japanese 117th Division took the lead in arranging armored vehicles, cars, and motorcycles to form a mobile force and pressed towards Tongliao.

Subsequently, its main forces also gathered.

Except for the 117th Division, the Japanese 23rd Division did not move.

Then we should attack the 117th Division first and then wait for the opportunity to attack.

The armored tank brigade took advantage of the situation and pressed northward from Tongliao, changed the direction of the offensive, and pushed forward vigorously to the north.

The troops moved very fast, all mechanized marching, people rely on their legs, and they always have to rest after running for a while. Even if they run all night without food or water, the marching speed is still that fast.

But it is a purely mechanized force that can advance quickly by burning oil.

In the north of Tongliao, they arrived in front of the 117th Division's march, deployed an attack formation, and collided with the first batch of Japanese troops.

Without any hesitation, they broke through head-on and confronted the Japanese armored vehicles.

The T34 tanks fired one after another.

Using armored vehicles to fight tanks is simply not enough. The armor-piercing firepower of tank guns is about 45mm, and the armored vehicles of the Japanese have very little armor, 20mm at most.

The Type 97 medium tank has only 25mm of frontal armor and cannot withstand a single tank gun hit.

At a distance of a thousand meters, as long as the bullet hits the target, it can kill the Japanese armored vehicle with one shot.

The sudden encounter dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese mobile forces. The hasty firing of light and heavy machine guns could not stop the tanks' offensive.

One shot after another, the firepower network was shattered under the bombardment of artillery shells.

The vanguard infantry battalion of the 117th Division encountered a frontal breakthrough, and the battalion commander was killed by a tank shell.

With the arrival of the mechanized combat brigade, a fierce massacre began.

The Japanese were unable to stop the attack of hundreds of tanks, and the makeshift defense was as fragile as a piece of paper.

They didn't have time to deploy their anti-tank guns and infantry guns before the tanks hit them.

Most of the Kwantung Army had no experience in fighting against tank clusters.

Faced with the crushing advance of the steel behemoth, the only thing they could do was to fire back helplessly and hold the tanks with bayonets.

The result is meat paste under the tracks.

The combat effectiveness of the security division is too poor. If it is a Type A division, it is relatively well-trained and well-equipped with weapons. It can organize a suicide squad and bomb with explosive packs.

The 117th Division had no plan for a confrontation with tanks. Even if they took out explosive packs, would the recruits dare to charge forward carrying them?

Can we grasp the opportunity and when to pull the trigger?

Where did the tank explode?

Courage alone is not enough, you also have to pass through the machine gun fire and rush under the tank.

The tank brigade charged at a very fast speed, almost without stopping as it pressed forward at full speed.

If you drive at full speed on a flat area, ordinary people won’t be able to catch up.

A few Japanese soldiers tried to blow up the tank, but the fuses on their bodies burned out and they were blown to pieces without even touching the back of the tank.

This group of short-legged dwarfs turned into a blood mist that filled the sky.

It was so exciting. There were bloodstains along the way, and corpses and crushed flesh were everywhere behind the tanks.

This is the ending the devil deserves.

The infantry brigade followed closely behind, clearing out the remnants, confiscating the enemy's weapons and combat supplies, and replenishing the team.

The Japanese mobile forces also brought oil with them, how convenient!

Add it directly into the truck to increase the maneuverable combat range.

For damaged firearms, take away those that can be taken away, and for those that cannot be taken away, pick up the heavy weapons and confiscate them first.

Don't fight to the end, don't stop, don't give the Japanese any chance to react, and rush straight towards Baichengzi.

[For the Tuanjie Township Blocking Battle, the rewards include 34 T85/1 tank, 97 Type 5 medium tanks, 15 military trucks, some repair parts, and 800 barrels of fuel.]

Ding Wei felt pleasantly surprised that a small ambush actually rewarded him with a T34/85.

The additional 800 barrels of oil were also a huge harvest, equivalent to more than 60 tons.
