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

The main force of the New Sixth Army was transferred to Jinzhou, and when the crisis occurred, it could only rush north from here.

The New First Army was the first to arrive at the battlefield. After its main force, the 38th Division, was damaged, the army's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Even with the sharp reduction, it was still one of the five main forces of the National Army.

The problem was that Commander Pan hesitated and did not really get angry.

Liao Jianchu’s New Sixth Army is different. It also has five aces with good combat effectiveness.

The fact that Commander Liao led the team personally had a different significance. He drove the team to the front line in Zhangwu like an arm.

Coming from Jinzhou, we can only quickly enter the battlefield from here.

There are troops stationed in Zhangwu, Xinmin, Heishan and other places, and the column responsible for blocking the enemy is Huazi's 6th Column.

It is indeed difficult to let the 6th Column intercept the New Sixth Army.

When assessing the combat effectiveness of the National Army's ace, everyone is still very conservative, believing that only 3-5 columns are needed to defeat the opponent's ace main force.

Whether or not we can stop the New Sixth Army is of little significance because the battle in the rear has already ended.

Ding Wei cleaned up the battlefield very quickly, completing the entire process from attack to cleaning in just three days.

Of course, the cleaning task in Siping City is slower.

After the heavy artillery destroyed the enemy's will to resist, the street fighting was not fierce. Whenever they encountered resistance, they would first use bazookas to greet them.

Then a large number of submachine guns pressed in.

The Gaoqing Column has rich experience in street fighting, and its combat effectiveness is needless to say.

The plan was to wipe out the remaining enemies within 5 days and get the Siping railway line back in operation.

While the enemy reinforcements have not arrived, the main force of the 53rd Army will be wiped out, and the remaining troops can first knock out the surrounding strongholds.

This is a very refreshing battle. By destroying the stronghold, you can seize supplies and equipment, and also take the opportunity to absorb prisoners and replenish your troops.

The New Sixth Army did not engage in a firefight with the 6th Column, but instead quickly arrived in Tieling by train.

Kaiyuan has been taken, and the only large stronghold city left in the north of Fengtian is Tieling.

The two main forces, the New Sixth Army and the New First Army, provided support and temporarily stabilized the situation.

There is still a small group of stubborn enemies in Kaiyuan, and they are surrounded.

Seeing that the New 14st Army was hesitant and did not dare to attack, Liao Jianchu did not hesitate and immediately ordered his th Division to attack Kaiyuan fiercely.

The 28th Division under Brother Biao's 14th Column was penetrated by the th Division of the New Sixth Army.

Its fighting ability is very strong, which really makes people lose their temper.

This is not the first time that the New Sixth Army has crossed the front line. There have been many such incidents since the fighting in the Northeast.

Liao Jianchu's New Sixth Army was even more arrogant. Other armies were eaten up by entire armies, divisions, and regiments, but his New Sixth Army had not even lost a complete regiment.

They had the capital to be proud and arrogant, and they actually attacked several columns in turn.

There was also a case where a regiment killed an entire column.

These main columns of General Dong have all suffered losses at the hands of Blind Liao to varying degrees.

You've never been beaten, right?

Ding Wei also wanted to see whether there were any differences in the so-called ace main forces of the National Army.

The New First Army has already been spanked, so now the New Sixth Army is coming up to give it a beating.

Convey combat orders with great interest.

"Order Kong Jie's column to advance toward the railway section to Kaiyuan and meet up with the New Sixth Army."

The army, which was said to have even mules riding American planes, should be stronger than the New First Army in terms of overall strength. Liao Xiazi himself was a famous general in the National Army.

It’s fun to fight with masters.

According to Ding Wei's original fate, he might encounter the New Sixth Army on the battlefield in Northeast China. So, there would be a big question mark over the classic saying that one division could sweep away an entire enemy army.

Did they wipe out the New Sixth Army or a ragtag army under Liao’s Corps?

Don’t consider all these. Since the New Sixth Army has never been beaten, just beat them hard.

Kong Jie's column took the lead and tested the waters first.

Ding Wei had five independent columns under his command. Kong Jie's column retained the previous column number, Independent Second Column.

Each column has 4 divisions, also numbered as independent divisions.

From the 1st to 4th Divisions of the Independent 5st Column to the 8th to th Divisions of the nd Column, they are arranged in order.

The four divisions of the Second Column moved forward to the Tieling area, where they first encountered strongholds held by local troops and swept them away with ease.

After dealing with the small fry on the periphery, the main 5th Division directly ran into Liao Xiazi's 14th Division.

The main force faced each other, and they could feel each other's weakness the moment they exchanged fire.

In the Tieling Command Headquarters, Blind Liao received a call from the front line, saying that a regiment of the 14th Division met with the 5th Division of the nd Column of Ding Wei, and the two sides had a real fight in Nanmao Mountain.

Nanmao Mountain is more than 200 meters above sea level and is just a low-lying highland.

But it is the only commanding height nearby, which is of great benefit on the battlefield.

Kong Jie mobilized his troops to advance southward across the mountain, determined to capture this commanding height and create fire suppression.

The remaining troops in the column continued to advance southward across the mountains.

The two waves of troops fought fiercely for the control of Nanmao Mountain, and at the beginning it was a company-by-company battle.

After finding that they could not take it down, they deployed a battalion of troops and launched a fierce attack with mortars.

After successfully capturing the Nanmao Mountain position, the New Sixth Army immediately organized a counterattack.

The elite troops withdrawn from the Far East battlefield have very high individual quality. When they were training in India, the Americans had high requirements.

To be literate, young people need to have both physical and cultural qualities. Every inch of land is made up of blood, and 100,000 young people are 100,000 soldiers.

The veterans of the National Army Expeditionary Force have good combat effectiveness and strong execution capabilities.

Braving the fire from light and heavy machine guns and mortars, they managed to seize the Nanmao Mountain position.

The battle began to escalate from here, and Kong Jie began to increase troops and firepower and invested in mountain artillery support.

Artillery fire bombarded the positions, pushing back the forces of the New Sixth Army.

Blind Liao also set his sights on the small Nanmao Mountain and mobilized firepower to cover the area.

The American-equipped divisions have unified American-equipped equipment, which is great stuff.

Liao Xiazi's American-equipped division inherited 6% of the real American-equipped division. Except for the lack of heavy firepower, the rest is not much different from the American-equipped division. It has high mobility and high combat quality.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the two forces as Mars colliding with the Earth.

Kong Jie is a guy who is not very flexible. He is very steady in fighting. The upper limit of his troops' combat effectiveness is low, while the lower limit is high. Their strength is balanced and stable.

Surrounding Nanmao Mountain, they continuously deployed troops to fight with the New Sixth Army.

From a company to a battalion, from a battalion to a regiment, and from a regiment to a division.

Excluding supporting firepower, both sides deployed a division of troops in the Nanmaoshan area for a head-on confrontation.

They started biting each other.

"Without my order, no one is allowed to retreat. If the troops are wiped out, I will personally take over."

Blind Liao, who was in Tieling, was also led to the front line of the battle, where he used a telescope to observe the situation.

I couldn't help but frown.

"Ding Wei's column is indeed difficult to deal with. One division against one division, we are evenly matched."

The artillery took turns to fire. The opponent was using American 75mm artillery, and this side was using Soviet 76mm field artillery.

The shells landed near Nanmao Mountain, creating countless craters.

Fighting and killing with rage.

As soon as one wave of people fell, another wave immediately replaced them, and the casualties on both sides were basically the same.

After hearing the battle report of the second wave of losses, Ding Wei was stunned for a moment.

In half a day, an entire regiment was wiped out?

It seems that the New Sixth Army does have something. So let's increase the firepower, send out tanks, push it back and capture the Nanmaoshan position.
