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

There was some controversy over whether to continue fighting the 49th Army.

The two columns marched 350 kilometers to join the battle, and then circled in the mountainous area for more than ten days. They had just crippled the Provisional 22nd Division, and the troops also suffered casualties.

The military district leaders were worried that the soldiers could not hold out after working non-stop and felt sorry for their condition, so they suggested withdrawing and looking for another opportunity to fight.

Commander Da Huang, however, believed that the opportunity was rare and the chance to turn the tide was right around the corner.

The Jireliao Military Region has always been criticized for its low combat effectiveness, weak foundation, and being unworthy of being reused.

A battle was needed to bring fame to the comrades and prove that although the 8th and 9th Corps were newly reorganized, they also had the strength of a field column.

The battle to become famous must be fought, and it has to be fought.

The three divisions of the 8th Column were lying in ambush in the Yangjia Mining Area, waiting for the 49th Army to arrive.

Speaking of which, Wang Tiehan is also a stubborn person. The reconnaissance troops have already discovered the presence of enemy troops around, so they must proceed with caution.

But he felt there was danger and immediately moved the two divisions together to make it easier for the enemy to encircle them?

Are you making dumplings, or are you the dumpling?

The origin of the 49th Army is sad. It was the team that fired the first shot in the War of Resistance against Japan, but it followed the wrong people, which doomed its fate.

The battle started, and the two divisions of the 8th Column launched a fierce attack on the 49th Army, with auxiliary troops on the flanks to intercept possible reinforcements.

The war spread to the Yangjia mining area, which was stained with blood and then drank blood again.

The sound of gunfire filled the hilltops and the fighting was extremely fierce.

The two divisions were not able to defeat the 49th Army, which was equipped with American weapons and had good defensive firepower. They were able to hold the front line well and had the strength to recapture the lost positions.

The 8th Column deployed its reserve forces and fought a fierce battle with the 49th Army.

The direction of the battlefield was not favorable to the 8th Column. After two days of attacking, they were still unable to defeat the 49th Army. This second-rate unit was surprisingly difficult to defeat.

The troops suffered heavy casualties, which made the military district leaders feel distressed. They telegraphed Commander Da Huang, asking him to withdraw from the battle and select a suitable fighter plane.

The 9th Column on the periphery had already started fighting with the reinforcements, and about 7 regiments of reinforcements were rushing towards the Yangjia mining area.

Seven regiments are equivalent to the strength of two divisions.

The rear military district had a fierce argument with the commander of the field column: should they retreat or continue the attack?

Dahuang held the cigarette in his hand and suddenly looked towards the north.

"Ask Commander Ding for instructions and report our army's current situation."

When people are at a loss, they need a little external help and some new suggestions.

The staff led by Zhang Dabiao were discussing and unanimously decided to continue the fight. The supporting artillery units would be able to support the Yangjia mining area tomorrow morning.

Ding Wei also sent a telegram to Da Huang, "The enemy is exhausted, and the only battle is will. If we retreat now, the casualties of our comrades will be wasted."

If you want to fight, then keep fighting.

The 8th Column organized another powerful attack and attacked the enemy positions again.

A shell was fired from the rear. In order to better support the 8th Column's operations, the heavy mortar regiment advanced in batches.

After getting as close to the battlefield as possible and finding a suitable commanding height, mortar fire support arrived.

The mortar shells landed on the hill where the attack was taking place, with a deafening bang and the explosion fragments sweeping across thirty or forty meters.

All the defenders within the explosion range were instantly silenced.

"Comrades, our firepower support has arrived. Reorganize the attack and capture the enemy's position."

Da Huang issued an order for a general attack, and more and more mortars appeared at the rear of the battlefield.

After the observer reported the coordinates, the 120mm mortar fired rapidly, with shells one after another hitting the heart of the 49th Army.

The power of a large-caliber mortar is comparable to that of a 155mm howitzer, and no grass can grow within the circular range of the explosion.

Even the fortifications carefully constructed by the soldiers were blown to pieces by mortar shells.

A complete heavy mortar regiment arrived at the battlefield with sufficient ammunition.

Its appearance is enough to turn the tide of the battle.

At the place where the fire exchange was most intense, 12 artillery shells fired covering fire, bang bang bang bang, continuous explosions filled the air above the position.

Ding Wei's artillery emphasized two key points: hitting accurately and hitting hard.

At noon that day, the 49th Army could no longer hold on and suffered a complete defeat.

The 8th and 9th columns took the opportunity to press forward and give the enemy a beating.

The 49th Army was defeated and retreated to Suizhou. They used the American weapons in their hands to open a gap and retreated rapidly to the Suizhou area.

The support troops also learned of the defeat at the front line, so they had no mood to attack and support, and they retreated strategically.

General Chen in Fengtian was anxious, panicked and confused, and hurriedly ordered Liao Jianchu's two divisions to go south to support Jinzhou.

Seeing that the battlefield was about to fall apart, Niang Xipi could no longer sit still. She thought that Chen Cixiu was a man who could turn the tide, but after all the fuss, it was still the transport team.

The 49th Army had just been transferred to the Northeast, but it was severely defeated in the first battle and suffered losses of over ten thousand men.

He hurriedly sent a telegram to the Seventh Route Army in the Pingjin area, asking them to arrange troops to move north and arrange three divisions to rescue the Jincheng Railway Line.

"Jincheng is in danger. I hope you will immediately send three divisions of powerful troops to Beijing and Tianjin to consolidate North China."

The wording was very precise, and powerful troops were arranged, with three highly combat-effective divisions to support the Liaoxi Corridor.

Mr. Fu suffered a lot in Suiyuan, but he has been doing very well recently. He jumped over from Suiyuan to take over the military forces in the Pingjin area.

After three days of absence, Amon is no longer the same as before. He received some American weapons and equipment, as well as 800 trucks of assistance.

In any case, Liao Jianchu and Mr. Fu arranged troops to stabilize the Jincheng railway line and overcame this disastrous defeat.

The 8th and 9th Corps became famous in one battle, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and almost crippled the 49th Army.

Da Huang ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield, and he ran to the heavy mortar regiment.

Good stuff, everything Commander Ding used was good stuff. 36 heavy mortars, the supporting firepower they formed was awesome.

Large-caliber artillery, good stuff.

If there had been artillery support earlier, the 49th Army would not have been defeated.

A lot of spoils were captured in this operation, and the two newly formed columns turned the tide and stood firm.

The wounded were transported down for rest while the main force cleaned up the battlefield.

The victory of the Jireliao Military Region was a wake-up call to Commander Chen, like a basin of cold water poured directly on his enthusiasm.

But this victory gave Ding Wei a chance to break the deadlock.

The battle in the Liaoxi Corridor required the enemy to mobilize four divisions, the 4nd Division, the 22th Division and two divisions of the 50th Army. They wiped out the main force of the 49th Army and crippled the 49nd Division.

Liao Jianchu transferred two divisions from the north to Jinzhou, which created a troop gap between Siping and Fengtian.

The 53rd Army was the one that replaced Liao Jianchu and was on the front line in the north.

The 53rd Army and the 49th Army both originated from the Northeast Army and were transferred back to Manchuria together.

Niang Xipi’s idea was very simple. Since she was from the Northeast Army, she would definitely burst out with amazing fighting power when she returned to her homeland.

At this time, Ding Wei began to understand Brother Biao's actions and why he didn't take down Siping in one go.

With the force used to attack the city, if they were determined, they could definitely defeat the 71st Army.

Chen Mingren has all kinds of rotten fish and shrimp in his hands.

To take it down would only mean getting a city that had to be attacked and defended repeatedly, retreating to block the enemy, and annihilating the enemy's manpower.

These are the two options: leaving a ruined city and forcing the national army to arrange garrison troops.

The 53rd Army became the unlucky one and was arranged to be stationed in Siping.
