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

There are no more troops in the north of Siping.

After Liao Jianchu's two divisions retreated to Jinzhou, there were no mobile forces between Siping and Fengtian.

Should we say that Commander Chen is a fool, or that the people under him are all good-for-nothings?

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Sun Fumin and Zheng Dongguo not to see it?

It was impossible for these two experienced people not to see the dangerous layout of the 53rd Army.

You see it but don't say anything. Are you waiting to see Commander Chen make a fool of himself?

The three divisions of the 53rd Army not only defended Siping, but also set up a large defense area.

The 30th and 116th Divisions under its jurisdiction were distributed in a fan shape, pushing out their positions and deploying on the left and right in the southeast and southwest of Siping.

The 130th Division deployed along the main road to retain the retreat route.

Seeing that the opponent's tactics were so arrogant, Ding Wei immediately decided to give them a shot, and General Dong also decided to start with the 53rd Army.

This time Ding Weilai launched the main attack, while Brother Biao's column was responsible for encircling and annihilating the fleeing enemy.

"Give orders to Gao Qing and Kong Yong. Gao Qing will be in charge of the siege, and Kong Yong will assist. I only give him one day to capture Siping."

"Kong Jie and Wang Tao's two columns will move forward to the eastern region and spread a large net. They will both block and annihilate the enemy and eat up two of their divisions."

"Deployment must be fast, penetration must be fierce, and the offensive must be fierce."

"All four heavy artillery regiments should move forward. The first round of artillery fire should destroy the enemy's confidence and cripple them."

More than 200 howitzers, thousands of mountain and field guns, and more than 3000 mortars.

The artillery firepower that Ding Wei can mobilize is strong enough.

In addition to small-caliber mortars, 120/107mm mortars were also distributed in batches to the column. The American 107mm chemical mortar is a good thing.

It can fire a variety of shells, with a maximum range of 5600 meters and a minimum range of 770 meters.

This means that distances between 800 meters and 5.6 kilometers can be covered by firepower.

The firing rate is 18 rounds per minute and the continuous firing time is 3 minutes.

Once deployed in place, more than 50 grenades will be thrown at the enemy's head in a very short time.

From the perspective of siege, howitzers and howitzers are the real ruthless ones.

The shooting is more accurate and powerful, and can be combined with armor-piercing bullets to penetrate city defenses.

The entire attack seemed to be well organized, with troops from four columns pressing eastward together.

There was no military force that could stop him, and no troop dared to confront Ding Wei.

The artillery regiment belonging to the column opened fire first, and the mountain and field artillery roared towards the front, instantly penetrating the front-line positions of the 53rd Army.

Dense firepower covered their faces, and shells fell one after another on the defensive positions.

The sound of artillery fire had just stopped, and before anyone could show their heads, the roar of tanks approached.

The tank gun aimed at the heavy machine gun fire, shot after shot.

It really proves the saying that one must be both precise and ruthless.

The troops entered the Siping area as if they were in an empty land. The Gaoqing Column had the most fierce offensive and the strongest combat effectiveness, and the speed of attack was almost the same as the marching speed.

The faster they marched, the faster they could capture the position.

In just two days, they marched and fought their way close to the defense area of ​​Siping city.

"The commander has sent me four howitzer regiments, with 4 guns firing at the same time. You are in luck. You have never seen such a scene in your entire life."

"Notify my vanguard troops. No main attack, no auxiliary attack. Once the artillery fire stops, all of them must move into the city."

"The mortars and rocket launchers of the battalion and company must rush forward and take down the stubborn enemy."

The artillery was busy repairing its artillery positions, and reconnaissance planes were hovering in the sky.

The four heavy artillery regiments were divided into 4 artillery positions, with the artillery company as the smallest unit.

每个炮兵连有6门105毫米榴弹炮，炮团分配2个105毫米榴弹炮营，一个150毫米榴弹炮营。

It is equipped with 36 105mm howitzers and 150 18mm howitzers.

The four heavy howitzer regiments had a total of 224 artillery pieces, all of which were towed by tractors and trucks, achieving mechanized movement.

Point the muzzle straight ahead and adjust the direction upwards.

The heavy gun barrel pointed straight to the sky. With a command, the shells were ejected like fire dragons. The ground shook with a bang and the high-speed rotating grenades flew towards the city.

The explosion was earth-shattering. How could the broken city walls withstand such violent destruction?

The fortresses and bunkers repaired by the Japanese and Nationalist armies were also destroyed by the bombardment of howitzers.

The blast created a turbulent air wave that swept across a large area.

People at the center of the explosion were either blown into the sky or killed on the spot.

Ding Wei's meaning was very clear. He wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and use a round of artillery fire to shatter the courage of the 53rd Army.

Artillery is the courage of heroes, it strengthens one's own momentum and destroys the enemy's arrogance.

Compared with the firepower of Ding Wei's column, the 3rd Army, which is only equipped with three American mountain artillery battalions, seems to be lacking in strength.

The troops equipped with American weapons could not produce any decent artillery. The entire army had only 6 Japanese 105mm howitzers.

how to spell?

6:224, there is no possibility of resistance at all.

There were a large number of artillery pieces and sufficient ammunition, and the artillery fire lasted for half an hour.

More than 2 artillery shells were fired continuously, causing the city walls to collapse, the ground to become potholed, and the smoke from the explosions filled the sky and blocked out the sun.

Commander Chen went from being panic-stricken on the Liaoxi battlefield to being sweating profusely in an instant.

Siping is in danger, and the 53rd Army is in danger.

The main enemy forces have formed an encirclement.

The New 1st Army and the New 6th Army were urgently mobilized to assemble and provide support to the north.

The column attacked too quickly and with overwhelming force. Wherever the artillery fire reached, the Kuomintang troops surrendered one after another.

The positions that were stubbornly held were swept away by repeated artillery fire. No matter how stubborn the enemy was, their positions were flattened.

The battle ended too quickly. Ding Wei launched a series of combination punches. Four columns and four heavy howitzer regiments pressed forward and ended the battle quickly like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The 30th and 116th Divisions outside the city did not even have a chance to escape and could only see the surging attack.

The speed of the attack was swift.

Obviously, these columns have summed up the previous lessons.

The National Army is good at retreating, so we need to attack quickly. Don’t think too much. Infiltration, detour, and encirclement. The first step of infiltration must be done well.

Wear as deep as you can, run as fast as you can.

The wheels were broken and the soles were worn out, so we had to crawl to the front of the enemy even by hand.

Brother Biao's troops are waiting to block the attack. The New Sixth Army and the New First Army are coming to support them. They must be dealt a head-on blow.

After waiting for a long time, only the New 1st Army arrived.

Sun Fumin was promoted to deputy commander of the Security Command, and Pan Yukun was appointed as the army commander.

The flavor of the New First Army changed. Without the commander who represented its soul, the army's combat effectiveness plummeted.

In addition, General Pan did not want to waste his troops, so after arriving at the support location, he launched a tentative attack and then immediately retreated.

The main battle of the Siping attack and defense has ended. The main column swept across the battlefield, capturing prisoners, picking up spoils, and cleaning the trenches.

Ding Wei also ordered the three columns of Kong Jie, Kong Yong and Wang Tao to advance southward, take over the strongholds along the railway and fight against the reinforcements of the Kuomintang army.
