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

The news of the defeat was immediately notified to the Fengtian 25th Division, and Mr. Du was shocked.

"Where's Wan Renli? The entire 89th Division, fully equipped with American weapons, couldn't hold out for half a day?"

"I need the battle report from the front, bring it to me quickly. How was the battle fought? Ten thousand pigs?"

Ding Wei received the news secondhand and then threw it aside. He was well aware of the combat effectiveness of Zhang Dabiao's column. It was just a second-rate Kuomintang division and was not worth mentioning.

But the subsequent system reminder surprised him a little.

[Siping South Blocking Battle, rewards: 12 Browning heavy machine guns, 456 Springfield rifles, 12 rocket launchers, 30 boxes of grenades, 80 boxes of mortar shells, 2000 mountain artillery shells. 500 semi-automatic SVT rifles, 60 rounds of ammunition.]

[30 Guoliunov heavy machine guns, 600 water-jet rifles and Type 34 rifles, 3 T12 tanks, 300 BT fast tanks, cars, and barrels of fuel.]

The rewards were extremely generous, beyond Ding Wei's expectations.

When the number of troops under his command ranged from 10 to 30 to 60, the ammunition reward for blocking battles seemed to be increasing.

There has been a qualitative change recently. In a blocking battle, we actually obtained both American and Soviet weapons.

This is an unexpected surprise.

There were even more surprises on the battlefield. Zhang Dabiao used his mobile forces to defeat the 89th Division in one wave. The American artillery battalion of the division did not even have time to deploy before it was declared defeated.

The baggage vehicles, the division's artillery, and several main regiments were all packed up.

Except for a small group of defeated soldiers who ran fast and took advantage of the chaos to escape back to Fengtian, the main force of the 89th Division was all destroyed in the south of Siping.

The battlefield was cleaned up very quickly. The main force of the division was defeated in the morning, and the remnants began to be cleared in the afternoon.

More than 6000 people were captured, and the seized American equipment filled up the trucks. The old American rifles were average, and the pure American weapon was the Garand semi-automatic rifle.

The 89th Division was a semi-American-equipped division, using Spring rifles as rifles, and its artillery was drastically reduced. A true American-equipped division was equipped with a large number of artillery and supporting firepower, at least 36 105mm howitzers and 12 155mm heavy howitzers.

A battalion can call for fire support.

The so-called American-equipped divisions of the National Army had only 12 artillery pieces in one division, most of which were 75mm mountain cannons, and even howitzers were difficult to come by.

The only thing worth liking is the 60mm mortar and the Browning light machine gun, and the automatic rifle is used as a light machine gun.

The performance of the American 60mm cannon is very good, with a maximum range of 1500 meters, which is far better than the 50-meter range of the 800mm cannon in Ding Wei's hands.

As for other equipment, such as submachine guns and flamethrowers, the 89th Division was not equipped with many.

Zhang Dabiao seized a large number of American weapons in one go, enough to equip two regiments.

However, these weapons did not match the bullet types of the column, making them useless once equipped and difficult to obtain logistical replenishment, so they could only be pulled back and put into warehouses.

The chaotic situation ended quickly and the battlefield south of Siping was cleared cleanly.

It was as clean as if it had been licked by a dog, which made Mr. Du frown.

"Commander Du, I heard that there are two pure armored divisions in Qi City with stronger combat effectiveness. Ding Wei's troops dare not provoke them."

Du Xiaojun is the younger generation of Mr. Du and comes from a large family. When there is no one around, he can be called uncle, but when there are people around, he has to address him as commander or sir.

Wan Renli retreated back to Fengtian in disgrace with more than a thousand men. This reckless division commander was to be the first to be liquidated.

He advanced recklessly on the battlefield, abandoned his troops and ran away afterwards. Is such a person worthy of being a division commander?

"Go, send Wan Renli to the Nanjing Military Court. Such a unit is worthy of American weapons."

I was so angry that I wanted to let them test the waters, but all I got was a feeling of unfathomable depth.

Ding Wei’s column is not easy to deal with. It is better to let Siping go for now and take over the Jiaodong area first.

A person's reputation and a tree's shadow are all created by the sword and the gun.

The elite troops of the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region had all survived the Japanese invasion and walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The gap between veterans and new recruits is huge, and it is particularly important in battlefield confrontations. A decisive victory knocked out the tentacles of the national army.

They did not dare to advance northward easily, at least the two armies in front of them had insufficient manpower, far from enough.

After the 89th Division was withdrawn, Du Xiaojun came out again and brought four truckloads of canned food to Siping. He explained to Zhang Dabiao that it was Wan Renli who disobeyed orders and his behavior had nothing to do with the Security Command.

See if those 6,000 prisoners can be taken back?

"Commander Du, our army has always treated prisoners well, but I, Zhang Dabiao, am the least well treated. We are in need of some coolies to do the work, so we sent them to Harbin to build roads along with the Japanese prisoners."

"After I finish the work, I will ask the commander to release them."

Du Xiaojun's face twitched. After you finish the work, even if you put it back, I won't dare to take it.

With Ding Wei's ability, it won't take long for him to digest this group of prisoners and turn them into his own troops.

The 89th Division is completely finished. Let’s reorganize it.

The Nanjing side was particularly furious. They were armed with American weapons, but they were beaten like shit. Don't send them to Nanjing. Shoot them on the spot.

It only took two days for a major general and a division commander to go from being defeated to being shot. The efficiency of the National Government was surprisingly fast.

As for Ding Wei, we should try to win him over instead of just giving him a nominal position. This guy is really not easy to deal with.

The Northeast suffered a defeat, but the rear did not take it seriously. It was just one division. The National Army had millions of troops, so it would have been fine to deploy a few more divisions.

The two sides fought fiercely in the Northeast, which was not conducive to the division of interests in the Far East. With the promotion of the Eagle Sauce, they demanded a ceasefire.

We can use the coalition government to peacefully resolve the issues between the two parties and negotiate a suitable solution without necessarily resorting to the use of guns and knives.

At the same time, stimulate the bear to withdraw from the Northeast. The Eagle Sauce does not want the father to get too many supplies here. The situation in the Far East is clear, and support Shancheng to be the boss.

Everyone sat down and finalized the matter. They decided to fight for whatever reason and quickly hand over the Northeast region, and the Far East Army withdrew.

In fact, after taking Jinzhou, Niang Xipi didn't want to continue fighting and didn't want to provoke the Far East Army.

In his heart, as long as the Northeast does not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, he can find people from the joint organization to manage it.

Solve the problems inside the Great Wall first, and then devote your energy to dealing with the problems outside the Great Wall.

But the Eagle Sauce obviously did not want to help send troops, and only tried to mediate verbally and ordered both sides to cease fire.

The situation here is complicated, including the Eighth Route Army, the National Army, the Far East Army, and the international situation.

According to the Yatar Agreement, the loving father could obtain a large amount of rights and interests in the Far East.

The Americans were afraid that the Japanese would surrender and were unwilling to pay these benefits. Coupled with the resistance sentiment at home, many places organized demonstrations, and relations with the Soviet Union deteriorated sharply.

In addition, Ding Wei's troops are stationed at the Far East Army's neck and can cut off the transportation lines in the rear at any time.

This caused Moscow to be troubled, and it turned around to support the Manchurian People's Autonomous Army.

Over and over again, today he is close to the National Government, tomorrow he is close to the Eighth Route Army. The father has only one goal, which is to take over the Far East.
