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

The Kwantung Army tried its best to arm its personnel, but since there were not enough soldiers, they asked the overseas Chinese to take up arms and mobilized everyone.

What Liao Fei was concerned about was the technicians in the Japanese factory, and he was trying to find a way to move them out and send them to Ding Wei.

At this stage, the Japanese had no intention of producing anything, and military factories and chemical plants were almost suspended. The materials could not be transported, and the production of military factories was stagnant.

The stored combat supplies were also sufficient. The Kwantung Army had stockpiled a large amount of bullets and artillery shells, which was more than enough to arm one million people.

Tons of supplies were stored in the military fortress.

Some military warehouses also prepared spare guns, artillery and bullets in advance.

A batch of equipment and technical personnel were allocated from Fengtian and handed over to Ding Wei's people.

This time the Japanese had to endure it in silence and agree to several of Ding Wei's requests.

Provide equipment, technology, technicians, and 1300 million rounds of spare ammunition.

The trucks headed west, and the trains on the railways also reached Tongliao smoothly. Those who didn't know would think that both sides were undefended.

Members of the Far East 88th Brigade were received. This group of people were the remnants of the Anti-Japanese United Army. After retreating to the Soviet territory, they were reorganized into an independent brigade.

It was affiliated with the Soviet Far Eastern Army and persisted in the war against Japan.

If they want to use troops against the Kwantung Army, this group of people who are familiar with the terrain within the pass will naturally take the lead and act as guides to lead the Far East Army into the country.

At the beginning of the battle, the three Russian front commanders had in-depth considerations.

The purpose is to annihilate the main force of the Japanese invaders.

The initial combat target was North China, a plain area suitable for mechanized troops to launch offensives.

Considering that the North China Expeditionary Army was relatively scattered, it was difficult to form a large-scale attack to annihilate the enemy.

Therefore, the target was set on the Kwantung Army.

The battle plan was simple: the Trans-Baikal route would cut in from the west to cut off the connection between the North China Expeditionary Force and the Kwantung Army. The other two routes would attack from the east with the support of the fleet to cut off the connection between the Kwantung Army and the Korean Peninsula.

A siege and encirclement situation was formed, and the 70 Kwantung Army was eliminated in one fell swoop.

Although many people suggested that the Suirecha Military Region could be contacted so that the two sides could attack together and fight jointly.

The Soviets scoffed at the idea and did not take the weak Eighth Route Army into consideration. In their eyes, the Eighth Route Army, which did not even have a few artillery pieces, could not provide much help.

Even though Ding Wei's military district claimed to have 300,000 troops, they were just a larger local Eighth Route Army.

Okay, okay, I understand it very well.

On June 1945, 6, Ding Wei obtained a large number of military equipment and technical personnel. If these people were sent to Tongliao, it would not take long for them to produce rifles and bullets.

The industrial base of Northeast China is indeed very rich, and it would be enough to make people happy if the Japanese took out a small part of it.

The bullets were transported in boxes by train and car.

1300 million bullets, all of them are golden bullet shells. But the quality is indeed not as good as in previous years. After the Japanese were short of supplies, the quality of the weapons and ammunition they produced also declined.

Ding Wei called the Fourth Column and the First Column, and after confirming that the goods had been obtained, he made the decision to attack.

In the Baichengzi area, Zhou Weiguo and Ding Wei both entered the temporary combat command center.

"Are you sure you want to start the action?"

Of course, the two armored divisions that were secretly prepared would be meaningless if they were not used to kill the Japanese.

Aren’t the semi-automatic rifles, mortars, artillery, and howitzers in our hands all for fighting the Japanese?

The Russians are a secondary opponent, the primary opponent is still the Japanese invaders.

Ding Wei's goal was to capture the Fourth Army stationed in Qiqihar, where three troops were stationed, including the 107th Division that withdrew from Wuchagou, the 149th Division originally stationed in Qiqihar, and the 80th Independent Mixed Brigade.

And 3 artillery battalions, including a rapid-fire artillery battalion, a mortar battalion, and a field artillery battalion.

With a total force of more than 30,000 men, they were not well prepared against Ding Wei.

Moreover, one of his troops was able to reach Qing'an and move in and out as an oil protection team. Although the number of troops was small, it meant that the Kwantung Army was not very defensive against the Suirecha Military Region.

The defense force is insufficient, and the Fourth Army in Qi City can be easily captured by the armored division launching an offensive.

The plains are most suitable for deploying troops, quickly seizing airports and railway stations, and cutting off the North Manchuria Railway.

The Kwantung Army's 4th Army was cut off on the line of Hulunbuir, Hailar and Qiqihar.

The army has 3 divisions, 4 independent brigades, 6 artillery battalions, with a total strength of more than people. Ding Wei has a big appetite.

But the purpose of this battle was not to destroy them, but to divide and encircle them.

Cut off Qi City and Harbin City, and force the Japanese to retreat to the Hailar Fortress line.

Once the Japanese emperor announced his surrender, these prisoners could be easily captured.

Don't think about it, just do it.

Ding Wei issued the combat mission, and Zhou Weiguo was waiting for this sentence.

He will personally command this armored assault operation to show the Japanese the power of the Suirecha Military Region Armored Division.

The terrain in the Nenjiang area is flat, but there are also many lakes and swamps. When Ding Wei's men entered the Qing'an oilfield area, they figured out the route.

Where the river is shallow, it can be passed directly; where temporary bridges are needed, supply tanks to cross the river.

The BT-7 rapid tank is okay, it has high speed and small tonnage, and can cross the temporary bridge.

However, although the T34 tank is a medium tank, its tonnage exceeds 20 tons, so the roadbed conditions need to be considered to avoid getting stuck in swampy areas.

Zhou Weiguo planned to advance from the northern part of the Songnen Plain. The armored division was divided into two groups. The armored regiment composed of T34 tanks would advance from the north, and the armored regiment formed by BT-7 tanks would advance from the center.

Under the cover of night, the troops quickly assembled and set out.

The advantage of mechanized troops is that they can be deployed quickly and march quickly, and as long as they are provided with sufficient fuel, they do not need to rest.

The ground was shaking slightly and the tanks were marching in unison, making quite a bit of noise. When they were approaching the outskirts of Qi City, the Japs issued an early warning.

The response from early warning was too slow. At around 4 a.m., the armored division pressed into Qi City and encountered the Japanese garrison troops.

The T34 tanks didn't take it seriously at all and crushed past them in unison.

The Japanese invaders' sandbags and heavy machine guns had no effect at all and had minimal destructive power on armor.

The temporary garrison troops had no anti-tank weapons and their destructive power on the armored division was very limited.

The tanks rolled over and the remaining troops were swept away.

A mass of flesh appeared on the ground.

The steel helmets were pressed into pieces of iron.

Ding Wei launched an offensive against the Kwantung Army?

The news reached the Far East Army and the Kwantung Army Headquarters at the same time. What was going on? I was a little confused.

Recently, the Kwantung Army and the Suirecha Military Region have had a lot of exchanges, including providing equipment and bullets, so how could they still fight?

The Trans-Baikal Front was the first to notice the abnormality, and the First Army led by Anov kept a close eye on the situation in the direction of Hailar.

There were also many intelligence personnel deployed here. When they learned that Ding Wei had mobilized two armored divisions to advance into Qi City, they were surprised.

The offensive was launched in the early morning of the 29th, and by the time both sides learned the news, the enemy was almost at the gates of the city.

The Japanese defensive security forces were no match at all and were easily defeated in the first encounter.

The armored division is very powerful and its armored firepower is fierce.

All the soldiers were equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and they fired submachine guns and light machine guns. Wherever they went, blood flowed.
