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

Ding Wei's troops' rest and recuperation work was slowly carried out. There were no enemies outside the pass, so everyone could relax and rest.

The wounded were treated for their injuries, the field columns were reorganized, weapons and equipment were replaced, and more artillery was equipped.

All the American equipment used by the more than 200,000 nationalist troops became the weapons of the People's Liberation Army.

Carbines, bazookas, light and heavy machine guns, American mortars and mountain cannons are all good things.

Even the helmet is considered an excellent trophy.

The most important thing is that except for Shenyang, the routes to other cities have all been opened. After Gangzi Ge integrated the industrial equipment, he got the factories outside the customs running again.

Let the industry in Manchuria resume production. Let the industrial areas around Dalian, Changchun, and Shenyang recruit skilled workers again and devote themselves to the task of resuming production with great enthusiasm.

It can be said that there is vitality outside the Great Wall, where people are breaking down the old system and welcoming a new world.

The rest and recuperation of the columns went more smoothly than expected, and most of the national army realized the crux of the problem. It doesn't matter who you fight or who you fight.

There is food to eat, military pay, and land to share. It is much better than being a soldier in the National Army.

The only ones who can't think straight are the vested interests, which are middle and high-level military officers. They could have sucked the blood of the soldiers, taken kickbacks, and engaged in smuggling.

Once the liberation came, it was truly liberated, and we returned to the period before liberation.

Shortly after the beginning of summer, Mr. Fu in North China was already looking worried.

According to intelligence from outside the Great Wall, Ding Wei has assembled more than 50 troops and stationed them in Rehe, Wucheng, and the Liaoxi Corridor.

After Gao Qing Column captured Chengde, it was the vanguard force that first reached the Xifengkou area.

This was once the territory controlled by Ding Wei, and he had a certain mass base. After the troops arrived, they quickly gained the support of the local people.

The mobile cavalry in the direction of Wucheng took the lead in blocking the railway from Suiyuan to Beijing, and any vehicle was subject to inspection.

No one is allowed to pass with weapons.

They pressed forward from Wucheng towards Changping and Mentougou, almost confronting the troops from North China.

The one-month rest seemed to have been brought forward. Ding Wei intended to put pressure on Mr. Fu in the Pingjin area, while the defenders outside the Great Wall kept asking for help.

Telegrams came from Nanjing one after another, asking Mr. Fu to send troops north to continue supporting the areas outside the Great Wall.

The words became increasingly sharp and serious, but how to send troops?

The remnants of the Westward Army retreated to eastern Hebei. Ding Wei's army is at the peak of its strength. How can he fight?

Jinzhou was lost, Liao’s Corps was destroyed, and the situation in the Northeast had become devastating.

What lay before him was a huge headache. It was obviously an impossible task, but the stupid bastard was still urging him to send troops every day.

His intention is self-evident. He wants Fu's army to distract Dongye's attention so that he can focus on dealing with the war in the interior.

It is in the interests of Jinling to let Fu and Ding Wei fight head-on. After all, it is not Niang Xipi's elite troops who will be lost.

We need to increase our efforts and repeatedly generate electricity in Jinling.

He also told Fu the truth that the lips and teeth are interdependent. The elite troops in the Northeast had been killed, and the only ones to face the million-strong army outside the Great Wall would be the troops of the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters.

Everyone understands this principle, but the key is how can we get his support?

The 11 divisions of the Westward Corps fought hard to attack Tashan, but were swept away by Ding Wei's two columns.

Now that the Jinzhou Corps and the Liao Corps have been absorbed, Ding Wei's military strength has almost doubled. How can the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters support them while they are resting and waiting for the opportunity to tire themselves out?

How many troops should be sent to the Northeast at this time? 50,000? 100,000?

It’s not even enough for Ding Wei to fill his teeth.

Everyone understood the reason, but Niang Xipi didn't. She kept getting angry, causing the North China Suppression Headquarters to attack quickly. Taking advantage of the unstable foundation of the Outer Pass Column, they marched towards the Northeast.

Damn it, what a damn damn it.

Ding Wei took the lead in arranging people to go to Peiping, and in his capacity as a special staff member, he extended an invitation to Mr. Fu, inviting him to Rehe for a meeting.

I think he was the commander of the 12th war zone and this time he led a group of troops to fight against the Japanese invaders.

Now that the Japanese invaders have been driven away, can we reminisce about the past?

Ding Wei's invitation made Mr. Fu silent, as he knew the situation outside the Great Wall best.

This is clearly a Hongmen Banquet, waiting for him to arrive.

No, absolutely not.

Fu has 50 troops from the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters. As long as he keeps his head down, Ding Wei may not be able to easily overcome the hurdle of Pingjin.

In the Huludao Command Center, Zhang Dabiao smiled and took up the important position as the chief of staff.

"Commander, just as you thought, this Officer Fu does not want to go to the appointment for a chat."

"Look, should we destroy his lair first? The 35th Army originated in Suiyuan, and Sun Desheng's cavalry and mobile forces have already arrived in Wucheng."

"With just one order, we can quickly capture Suiyuan and cut off his retreat."

Ding Wei shook his head. It was precisely because Fu's base was in Suiyuan, and his status as the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters seemed noble, that he was reluctant to give up his base.

If Suiyuan is taken over, what if this guy leads 50 people south to become the commander in the southeast? That would only add to our troubles.

Suiyuan cannot be moved. This is a retreat, a retreat that people are unwilling to fight for.

"Send another message to Fu. If he can understand the situation, I can guarantee to give him the entire Suiyuan territory. If he cannot understand the situation, our army will launch a general offensive in half a month."

Ding Wei shook off the melon seed shells on his hands and ordered his four howitzer regiments to move closer to Huludao.

At the same time, captured Kuomintang ships and small boats requisitioned from local areas were taken into consideration.

His subordinates have already contacted Hokkaido. Mu Liancheng, who controls the shipping and fishery business for him, needs to find a way to prepare more than a dozen large ships to transport troops.

It’s hard to find a warship, but a fishing boat should be fine.

It is entirely possible to start from Huludao, land in the Jinan area by transport ships to fight, skip the Pingjin checkpoint, and advance into the North China area.

There are three preparations. The first is to persuade Fu to rebel, surrender honestly, and end the battle in a dignified manner.

The second was to launch a fierce attack on Pingjin and annihilate the enemy's 50 troops. However, the so-called 50-strong army was vulnerable in Ding Wei's eyes.

The third is to march by sea, bypass the Peiping-Tianjin area, and fight in the hinterland of North China.

In fact, there is a fourth way, which is to take a detour from Wucheng and enter the plains from the mountainous area.

It’s just that the mountainous areas are difficult to travel in and many heavy weapons cannot be transported.

If things really come to that, even without heavy weapons, we can still remove the headquarters of the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters by relying on air transport.

"Let me prepare the frontline troops and prepare for battle in advance. Provoke our Commander Fu so that he won't think that I, Ding Wei, can only talk."

Zhang Dabiao was eager to try, as his corps had been basically reorganized and could serve as a vanguard.

The vanguard was not in a hurry and ordered Sun Desheng's troops to quickly attack the Pingsui railway line and block all routes from Peiping to Suiyuan.

It gave Mr. Fu a sense of crisis.

同时调动8纵9纵12纵，独立2纵4纵5纵兵力，向山海关压进。

With four heavy artillery regiments in hand, they blasted open the door to North China and took the lead in pressing into Tangshan and Tanggu areas to strike at the troops in North China.

Zhang Dabiao smiled helplessly. The six columns were heading south and there was nothing he could do about it.

Alas, sometimes even the ace feels lonely and has few opportunities to fight.

It would be better to reorganize the column, give it a chance to run in and have a chance to throw hats at each other.
