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

70 Kwantung Army, 170 million Far East Army, and 57 Eighth Route Army. This is the specific situation in the Northeast region.

Before we knew it, we had more than 50 troops at our disposal.

His soldiers were distributed in the eastern, northern and central Hebei regions, as well as Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe and Northeast China.

The influence can reach from Qiqihar in the north to the two cities of Pingjin in the south.

The mountainous areas and plains along the way are all under Ding Wei's control.

He was both the commander of the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region and the commander of the Northeast Security Command. Both the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang government knew him by the name of Ding Wei.

There is no way around it. The puppet Manchukuo region is a rare area where neither side has personnel distribution.

After the Japanese supported the puppet Manchukuo, the Eighth Route Army fought in the mountainous areas, and the National Army had already retreated to the southwest.

With the expansion of the base, it was only active in North China and Central China.

The mountain city’s military forces have always been in the southwest.

Neither the Eighth Route Army nor the National Army had the energy and ability to take care of the Northeast region.

This was Ding Wei's own business. He defeated the Mongolian troops and marched into Sui-re-cha. He had soldiers, guns, airplanes, artillery, and tanks.

Now there is the Manchurian Oil Company and the Tongliao Arsenal. The equipment and personnel of the arsenal were directly brought from Fengtian, and they can directly produce Type 6.5 rifles and mm bullets.

The production line has been pulled in, and the quality of the products is the same as the Japanese's Type 38 rifle.

This is the Type 38 rifle, what are the similarities and differences?

The Japanese technicians still worked very hard because they could get enough food with Ding Wei, while they had to tighten their belts and save food at their original arsenal.

Ding Wei personally inspected the rifles produced by the arsenal and found that the quality was indeed good.

The reason why the Type 38 rifle has good performance is that it is the final bolt-action rifle, but it is just a bolt-action rifle.

No matter how good the performance is, it is out of date.

In today's era, artillery, tanks, and semi-automatic rifles dominate the world.

There were two situations on the Northeast battlefield. One side belonged to Ding Wei's troops, and their attack momentum was fierce.

The temporary divisions pressed into the northern Manchuria region, and the main forces of the column assembled near the Northeast Railway network. Factories, chemical plants, etc. were all put into operation to produce weapons and ammunition.

Local people helped to transport the supplies, using manpower as well as trains and cars.

Zhong Zhicheng came hurriedly, having just received intelligence that the Soviets were about to attack.

By mid-to-late July, the news about the Far East Army's dispatch had become clear, and it was basically confirmed that the Kwantung Army would dispatch troops. The Japanese First Front Army was deployed along the Mudanjiang and Songhuajiang lines.

Ten divisions were assembled to deal with the First Front of the Far Eastern Army.

One is the First Front Army of the Kwantung Army, and the other is the First Front Army of the Far East Army. They are like a turtle versus a mung bean.

There were still a large number of old Japanese troops retained in the Kwantung Army, and there were only these 10 divisions. They had a strong will to resist and had small-scale frictions with the Soviets.

The Third Front Army was mainly concentrated along the railway, and part of it was in the direction of Hailar, separated by Ding Wei's troops.

The other part was stationed in Xinjing, Harbin, Siping and other places, and began urgent preparations.

The mountainous areas such as the Greater Khingan Range in the west are difficult to pass through, and the main forces of the Japanese are basically concentrated in the north, east, and central regions, with a large number of troops adopting in-depth and echeloned defense.

This is a Fabius tactic, luring the enemy deep into the territory, harassing their logistics, and dragging them into the quagmire of war.

Therefore, the troops were concentrated in Xinjing, Siping and Fengtian, so that they could be withdrawn to the Korean region to fight at any time.

The Japanese invaders prepared to use the Changbai Mountains, the Korean Peninsula and other mountainous areas to launch a desperate resistance and make the Soviets suffer.

Okay, okay, you two start fighting, I, Ding Wei, am very happy.

Contrary to expectations, before the two sides could even start fighting, news of the Japanese surrender came.

Just when the situation was reaching its limit, rumors of surrender were sweeping the army.

"Ding Wei was right. The empire is filled with the sound of surrender. They would rather die than surrender."

Yamada Ozo was furious that someone was actually trying to persuade the emperor to surrender unconditionally.

Men from elementary school to 65 years old and women from elementary school to 45 years old on the main island all responded to the call to participate in the strategy of the decisive battle on the home front.

Millions of soldiers were called back to their homeland to fight a decisive battle with the Americans.

surrender?

There is no possibility of surrender.

The Japanese were very stubborn and the emperor was also held back. He initially refused to surrender.

But the Americans have mushrooms.

On August 8, the first mushroom exploded with such force that it shocked the world.

The stubborn emperor could no longer sit still. In the past, those who died were all civilians and insignificant soldiers, and he didn't feel sorry even if hundreds of thousands of people died.

Now the Eagle Sauce said, I can send you to the sky, and it suddenly became obedient.

Hirohito wanted to surrender unconditionally at that time, but was persuaded by his subordinates.

Stay calm. What if the Eagle Sauce has just this super bomb? It’s just to scare people.

Announce an earthquake to calm the people.

He still remained stubborn and refused to accept unconditional surrender.

The Eagle Sauce also has a temper. If it doesn't accept it, then continue to fight. The second mushroom was airdropped home, and a violent explosion resounded across the island, and the blazing white light was like a small sun.

When his own safety is threatened, why is he still trying to be tough? He is a typical talker.

Hirohito summoned his ministers and said, "Since the Americans have used that kind of weapon, it is becoming increasingly impossible to continue the war. In order to obtain conditions that are favorable to the imperial family, we can consider unconditional surrender."

Umezu Mijiro, Terauchi Hisaichi, Okamura, Yamada Otozo and others all disagreed, insisting that if 100 million people died in battle, they would be able to survive.

There are still millions of troops. If we persist in fighting, there may be some hope of survival.

After a round of discussions, there was no result, but something unexpected happened in the Far East. In the early morning of August 8.9, the Russians declared war on Japan and sent the Far East Army to attack.

The Far Eastern Army, which had been preparing for three or four months, was fully prepared and arranged hundreds of thousands of troops to launch an offensive against the Kwantung Army.

At this stage, the only ones who could handle large-scale deep combat were the Russians.

Tanks and artillery advanced first, and intensive artillery fire landed on the Japanese fortress garrison area.

Artillery is justice. Artillery shells cover the sky and carry out blanket strikes on target locations.

Large-caliber howitzers fired at the fortifications, and high-explosive grenades and armor-piercing shells all fell into the fortifications.

The earth was in chaos, and the smoke from the explosion spread, covering the rising sun.

It looked gray and gloomy. Under the cover of artillery fire, the First Front of the Far Eastern Army approached the Hutou Fortress and the Donglin Fortress.

The amount of artillery fire was very large. 122mm howitzers and 152mm howitzers fired at the same time, and the shells they fired blew up the bunkers and fortifications.

Even an indestructible fortress seemed much more vulnerable under the overwhelming artillery fire.

The blast waves surged, giving people a sense of world-destroying crisis and pressure.

The Soviet weapons are characterized by their toughness and thickness, and their large quantity and sufficient supply.

Don't worry about its performance, just use it as much as you can and make it useful.

Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief. The fighting had begun. The Far Eastern Army and the Kwantung Army had finally started fighting.

On the eve of the Japanese surrender, the two sides exchanged fire at the border. You could vaguely smell the smoke coming from the Songhua River. It was so wonderful.
