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

As time entered May, to be honest, Ding Wei was quite anxious.

I'm thinking about breaking through Pingjin as soon as possible and joining the excitement in Huaihai. Who has the time to work on the radio with Mr. Fu? It's boring, uninteresting and meaningless.

It’s better to continue fighting with Du Yiqi, which can bring some joy.

By the way, he also met his old comrades, the brigade commander, the division commander, the little fool Li Yunlong, and Chu Yunfei of the 89th Division who held the trump card of the National Army.

They are all old friends.

"Pass on my order. Attack Tanggu and Xinbaoan at the same time. We should attack both sides. First, we should destroy the enemy's 35th Army, and then we should take over the sea retreat route."

"Since Mr. Fu can't make a decision, let me, Ding Wei, give him a push."

The situation in Pingjin is very simple, it is nothing more than the Suiyuan Army and the Central Army.

The Suiyuan Army wanted to flee westward and return to their old nest.

The Central Army wanted to escape by sea and return to its base camp in the south.

Ding Wei wanted to cut off their retreat routes from the left and right and force this group of people to surrender.

It was considered an uprising before the attack, but once I launched the attack, there was no such thing as an uprising. All of them were prisoners.

Battle of the West

Gao Qing and Sun Desheng's main forces have surrounded the 35th Army, which is the soul force of the Suiyuan Army. Destroying it will be enough to intimidate the Suiyuan Army.

Fighting in this mountainous area was once HD's home turf.

I am familiar with the route and have every hill memorized by heart.

At the beginning, we fought head-on with the main brigade of the Japanese invaders and measured the mountainous land with our feet.

Now the 35th Army is surrounded in the Xinbaoan area. Forget about its chance of turning the situation around.

After the order to attack was issued, planes and artillery took turns to attack the 35th Army, and the dense artillery shells shook the earth.

The artillery fire was not only dense but also highly accurate, knocking down the bunkers on the ground one after another.

A general offensive was then launched.

The 35th Army had only 1.7 people, while the Gao Qing Column had 6 people and deployed a large number of artillery. This kind of advantageous battle had only been fought a few times in a lifetime.

When the charge for the general attack sounded, the soldiers rushed up with ropes, trying to climb in from the top of the city wall.

In fact, it is not necessary. That was the way of playing two or three years ago.

Now we have a mature blasting technology team, as well as cannons participating in the attack, blasting open the city walls and rushing in to fight.

Guo Jingyun was a little panicked. In fact, he panicked when Gao Qing's artillery started bombarding.

When the two sides really came into close combat, the gap in combat effectiveness between them was clearly revealed.

The tanks led the way, and submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles and light machine guns fired continuously.

Anyone who dares to show his head will be killed within two or three seconds.

The firepower is long-lasting and the shooting is very accurate.

In situations like street fighting and encounters, experienced veterans never aim, they always shoot first, and the one who fires first is the king.

Even if the first shot is not accurate, you can still suppress the opponent, which gives you the opportunity to shoot a second time.

Once you get the feel for it, you can shoot whatever you point, especially the burst fire of a light machine gun, which is almost always accurate.

In addition to the excellent quality of the individual soldiers, there was also the coordinated advancement of the tanks, which fired a single shot and directly destroyed the light and heavy machine gun fire points. The heavy machine guns then finished the attack with a sweep.

The 35th Army is considered an elite force in the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters, but it is nothing compared to Gao Qing.

Compared with the National Army's ace troops such as the New First Army and the New Sixth Army, it is a level lower.

After breaking through the city wall, the battle quickly became one-sided.

Simultaneously with the battle in the west, Ding Wei also ordered the troops of the 4th and 5th Independent Corps to advance towards Tanggu, block the sea outlet, and block the retreat route of the Central Army in Tianjin.

8纵、9纵、12纵、独立6纵（冀热辽独立123师整编纵队）向平津中央地带压进，截断北平跟天津一线。

The two forces can be divided and surrounded at any time.

The Independent 2nd Column broke in from Tangshan and Wuqing, directly penetrated the southern part of Peiping, and blocked Mr. Fu's retreat route to the south.

The 8th and 9th columns pressed into Jinghai and Jinnan areas, blocking the retreat route south of Tianjin.

Use the strength of 8 columns to block the two military groups in Pingjin.

At 10 o'clock that evening, news came that the 35th Army had been surrounded and annihilated. It took Gao Qing Column 6 hours to wipe out these 1.8 people.

More than 6000 enemies were killed and 1.2 were captured.

The so-called elite troops of the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters could not even last a single day in the face of Ding Wei's independent column.

When the battle report reached Peking and Tianjin, the two men were greatly shocked.

The first was Mr. Fu, who looked like a lost soul. He kept banging his head against the pillar and slapping himself in the mouth repeatedly.

The guard was afraid that he would commit suicide, so he quickly put away the pistol.

After losing the 35th Army, the army commander committed suicide, and 50 troops were surrounded in the two cities of Peiping and Tianjin, Mr. Fu again began to think about negotiations.

To attack the city? Or not to attack the city?

The headquarters was very much in favor of a peaceful solution and ordered Ding Wei's troops to first surround the important cities and block the main traffic routes while waiting for the results of the negotiations.

Ding Wei's front-line command post has moved from Huludao to Luannan, Jidong, and his staff officers have set up communication facilities in an orderly manner.

Zhang Dabiao stared at the battle map, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

See if there are any routes that are not blocked and whether additional troops should be sent.

Its Independent First Corps has been transferred to the Tangshan area in eastern Hebei as the general reserve force, and is ready to provide support for any battle in Pingjin at any time.

"Commander, what else can we talk about? Just attack Chen Changjie directly. My corps will be the main attacker. We will take this important city for you in one day."

"One day is not even enough time for others to take a piss. Da Biao, I know your army is strong enough. Even if we run around, it will take a day and a night."

"Wait a little longer, wait and see how the negotiations go."

"But one thing is for sure. Make sure the routes out of the city are blocked and the encirclement is further tightened."

"Without my order, no plane can leave Pingjin. Pull my 88mm anti-aircraft guns over here and shoot down every one you see."

Ding Wei got more than a dozen 88mm anti-aircraft guns from Dezi, which, combined with other caliber anti-aircraft guns at hand, were enough to blockade the Pingjin area.

What's more, there are air forces and fighter jets can take off and fight at any time.

Among the eight columns, five columns kept a close eye on Tianjin and imposed a tighter blockade, while three columns kept a close eye on the situation in Peiping and imposed a relatively weak blockade.

The defenders in the city were nervous, so Chen Changjie started chatting with Deng Baoshan. The deputy commander of the North China Suppression Headquarters was very confident and believed that there would be no problem in holding out for 30 days.

"Don't worry, brother Chen. With our city defense situation, Ding Wei can't afford to take it down."

"As long as you hold on, everything is possible."

Other forces in the city were also trying to find a way to escape. The way out to the sea was blocked, and the way out of the city was blocked, so the only option was to move by air.

A plane ticket may be sold at a sky-high price. It cannot be bought with money. It requires gold bars and connections.

In Tianjin Station, all the action team members were transferred out to maintain the situation in the city to prevent chaos in the city.

The stationmaster and deputy stationmaster were sitting in the office, with Stationmaster Wu frowning.

"Stationmaster, what's wrong with you?"

"Zhecheng, what do the gains and losses of Tianjin matter? Do you care about a few sneaky officers and a few sneaky spies? Catching traitors, looking for intelligence, and trying to save the fortress is deceiving yourself."

"I want to make mistakes. I want to be fired. I am lying to myself."

"You should go to the black market and ask how many gold bars the Jade Throne Golden Buddha can be exchanged for. We need to leave a way out for ourselves and prepare some plane tickets for our escape."
