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

The advantage of the BT-7 tank is its speed. With its full firepower, it pressed towards the enemy's hinterland.

The Japanese headquarters was extremely nervous. It would be too embarrassing if the tank troops were allowed to attack Xinjing.

Troops were drawn from the surrounding garrisons to encircle this armored force. The Japanese acted hastily, dispatching seven regiments at once to surround them.

He usually made excuses when applying for support, but when it came to his personal safety, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army ordered all units to send additional troops for support.

Troops were withdrawn from Xinjing, Siping and Songyuan to surround the tank regiment.

At the same time, the tank division was arranged to join the battle to destroy this group of armored forces.

In terms of the overall strength of tanks, the Type 97 medium tank cannot be compared with the BT-7 tank, and it cannot even catch up with the opponent's exhaust.

The mobility of the fast tank far exceeds that of other tanks. It is specially used for walking dogs. It is just right, just right.

The Third Column in Tongliao area stopped the offensive.

In front of them were the carefully defended fortifications of the Japanese 63rd Division. They left some troops behind while the main force pressed forward to the north.

They made moves to encircle and annihilate the 117th Division, forcing the 63rd Division to run out of its fortifications and engage in mobile operations with the column.

In mobile warfare, search for the enemy's weaknesses and annihilate them.

Without the protection of trenches, bunkers and fortifications, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese security division was completely incompetent.

The main force pretended to march towards Baichengzi. In fact, Wang Chao set up a pocket formation in the Zhurihe grassland area and surrounded part of the 63rd Division that had been deceived.

The forces of two infantry battalions were surrounded around the grassland.

The main force of the column advanced rapidly and engaged in hand-to-hand combat under the cover of firepower.

This group of men from the northwest were equipped with many red tasseled spears. When they approached the Japanese, they took out their spears and fought.

The taller the inch, the stronger the inch. He stabbed the dwarf to death repeatedly.

It was longer than the Japanese's rifle, and the Northwest men were sturdy, giving them an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

The troops were also mixed with submachine guns and light machine guns to cover comrades in hand-to-hand combat, and combined with them to kill the enemy, they were more efficient.

The two infantry battalions were surrounded, which made the 2rd Division very anxious. They immediately sent troops to provide support.

This was the Eighth Route Army's specialty: encircling a group of troops, besieging a point and attacking the reinforcements. They would set up ambush sites while the enemy was advancing and arrange tanks and planes to provide cover for the charge.

[For the victory in the ambush on the Zhuri River grassland, we were rewarded with 23 Guoliunov heavy machine guns, 30 water-cooled heavy machine guns, 56 rotary machine guns, 96 Type 30 machine guns, and 80 rounds of ammunition.]

The combat effectiveness of the security forces was too poor. They captured 617 Japanese invaders. Seeing that the situation was not good, after the old soldiers who resisted stubbornly were shot dead, the new recruits decisively chose to surrender.

The column adjusted its troop distribution, cleared the battlefield, and then surrounded and attacked the reinforcements of the 63rd Division again.

The successive combat victories dealt a heavy blow to the 63rd Division and the 117th Division.

The casualties exceeded 5000, the combat supplies lost were countless, and most importantly, the morale was destroyed.

The most deaths were among the veterans, as this group of people were brave enough to charge and die.

Anyone who dares to charge into the face of heavy machine gun fire will naturally die the fastest.

The newly recruited soldiers were timid and more likely to survive, resulting in a large number of prisoners, with more than a thousand people.

This has never been seen before. The Japanese have a very strong will to resist and would rather die in battle than surrender.

Now, the security divisions are surrendering frequently.

The 117th Division was beaten back, and on its way back it was once again entangled by the tank brigade and subjected to a round of strangulation.

16 mountain cannons, 30 vehicles, more than 4000 guns were seized, and more than 900 Japanese invaders were killed.

The division was defeated and retreated towards Baichengzi.

The 63rd Division was firmly entangled by the th Column, and the outcome was quickly decided. After leaving the protection of the fortifications, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese was not worth mentioning.

They were repeatedly broken through by Wang Chao's column, resulting in heavy casualties.

The two divisions suffered consecutive defeats within three days and were so beaten that they dared not fight back.

During the rout, guerrillas and militiamen launched spontaneous attacks one after another, cooperating with the main force in launching a siege and counterattack.

Use mines, traps, and sniper guns to kill and wound the Japanese invaders.

Destroy the enemy's vehicles, blow up highway bridges along the way, etc.

The Security Division was not strong enough to confront Ding Wei's main column, and it was completely defeated in just three days.

"Commander, our Soviet tank regiment is about to be surrounded by the enemy. I suggest that we give up the attack on Xinjing and instead deal with the enemy's heavy artillery regiment. The regiment has arrived in the Tongliao area."

"Go back from the rear, insert yourself into the back of the enemy's artillery regiment, cooperate with the cavalry division, and destroy this batch of artillery."

Ding Wei raised his head and thought for a while.

"I originally wanted to stab the Japanese Kwantung Army, even if it meant sacrificing this tank regiment. At the moment, it seems that continuing to go east is like jumping into a fire pit, so I'll make a detour and eat up a heavy artillery regiment to make up for it."

The Japanese field heavy artillery regiment is generally equipped with 150mm howitzers.

The Type 96 howitzer, Type 150 howitzer, and Type cannon are all mm heavy weapons that can enhance the strength of the troops.

The cannon projectile is larger, has more powerful firepower and a longer range of up to 18 kilometers.

The arrival of this field heavy artillery regiment is enough to make up for the decline of the 63rd Division.

Take advantage of its unstable foundation and eat it at all costs.

The BT-7 Soviet tank regiment received an order and suddenly pressed forward from the Shuangliao area to the rear. They did not carry much fuel, and this time they attacked the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Xinjing, so they did not make any preparations to return.

We originally wanted to form a suicide squad to destroy the Japanese army's deployment.

Now that there has been a turnaround, we adjusted the battle plan, turned back to the Tongliao area, and attacked the Japanese 21st Field Heavy Artillery Regiment as quickly as possible.

Similarly, the 1st Cavalry Division quickly ended its entanglement with the Japanese and moved closer to the area.

The two forces surrounded the regiment and were determined to capture it and take the 24 heavy artillery pieces.

The troops were mobilized quickly, and the Soviet tank regiment gave up attacking the target and turned around to charge to the rear.

The flying brigade adjusted its combat plan and carried out combat missions in the Tongliao area.

Ding Wei's goal has been changing, from destroying two divisions to destroying the 21st Heavy Artillery Regiment.

The 24 150mm heavy artillery pieces are worthy of his attention.

To hit a snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part. When fighting the Kwantung Army, you have to pick the most valuable part to hit.

Blitzkrieg relies on speed. The BT tanks drove at a high speed, leaving the Japanese reinforcements empty-handed.

Upon noticing the enemy's movement, he quickly reported the situation.

At the same time, they requested air support from the First Front Army and the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Deploying tanks without aircraft cover would be a sheer act of seeking death.

If there is no aircraft cover, driving over there would be suicide.

Ding Wei had a flying squadron with hundreds of fighter jets and bombers hovering near Tongliao.

The frequency of deployment is very high.

In any case, the Soviet tank regiment changed the direction of attack, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters was temporarily safe.

The Japanese realized it later and suddenly woke up. This unit was heading back to the rear of the 63rd Division.

A heavy artillery regiment had just been deployed there.

While the Japanese were alarmed, fighter planes from the Suirecha Military Region had already taken off. Good things must be served late, so before dark tonight, they must cooperate with the Soviet tank regiment and cavalry division to take down the heavy artillery regiment.
