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

To be honest, Zhong Ye's foundation has been greatly degraded.

The army had not recovered its strength after the breakout, and most of its seven columns were not fully staffed. The only outstanding one was the 7th Column, which had absorbed 1.7 people and could barely be considered a column.

The 4th Column originally had 9 regiments, and 6 regiments were reorganized at once. Commander Chen suddenly turned it into the strongest column in the Central Plains.

The other columns generally had only 5-6 regiments with a total strength of more than people, equivalent to a division.

All the troops added up only numbered 12.

The nerd Huang Wei Corps also happens to consist of 4 armies with 12 people, and the only variable is Ding Wei.

The four columns brought by Ding Wei had a total of more than 20 troops, and each column was well-equipped.

I want to take the teacher and the brothers in Nakano to have a big meal.

Before the fight started, the head teacher called the door.

The attitude is very clear. People cannot eat meat every meal. They need to eat some hard bones occasionally.

No matter how strong Huang Wei’s army is, we must take him down this time at all costs.

He will personally participate in the command this time.

The command center was placed in the core area of ​​the battlefield, showing its determination to complete the strategic mission even if it meant the annihilation of all troops.

In which battle would the commander place his headquarters in the enemy's core area?

If the war is defeated, it means the annihilation of the entire army.

When the Confucian general showed such courage, Ding Wei could not help but realize that the teacher was not only easy-going on the surface, but also very scary when he fought desperately.

As soon as the phone call was hung up, the command center was ordered to move forward as close as possible.

Commander Chen from the 4th Column came directly to the door.

"Ding Wei, why did my main attack position become the 12th column? What's the matter? Now that you have a higher position than me, you can ignore my words?"

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was the brigade commander coming.

The 4th Column has just reorganized 1.7 people, and its strength has improved, but it is still a little short of the standards of a first-class column.

It’s not that I don’t believe in his command ability.

This time it was a tough battle, and Ding Wei wanted to open up a path so that he could take the commanders of each column and reap some benefits.

Look, your kindness is taken for granted. Who is taking the lead?

Am I, Ding Wei, someone who is willing to play the main attack? I prefer to play the blocking and supporting role.

At the strong request of Commander Chen, the main attack was given to the 4th Column, which was to confront Huang Wei's Corps head-on.

The remaining columns formed a double-team situation on the left and right.

Ding Wei attacked from both sides, ordering the Independent 6th Column to go west and the 12th Column to go east, to cooperate with the Central Field Army Column to advance and attack the main force of the National Army head-on.

The combat effectiveness of the National Army's 12th Corps is very strong. The main reason lies in the core of the team, which is the 18th Army, one of the five ace forces of the National Army.

以18军为基础骨干，扩编出10军，10军、14军长期配合18军作战。

Birds of a feather flock together. If the troops cooperate with the ace main force for a long time, how can the combat effectiveness of the troops be poor?

Just like Ding Wei's column, the independent column had the strongest combat effectiveness. At the beginning, Zhang Dabiao was the only one who stood out, followed by the Gao Qing column, and then all the columns afterwards had a qualitative improvement in combat effectiveness.

The troops will be integrated, equipment will be updated, training will be strengthened, the organizational capabilities of grassroots cadres will be enhanced, and the level of support will be improved.

If a troop wants to become stronger, aren't these the points it needs?

After arriving at the battlefield, the 12th Corps gave priority to Suxian, where its troops were stationed. As long as they could take over Suxian, they would be able to join up with the Xuzhou Corps.

Commander Chen's 4th Column took the initiative to meet the attack and took the lead in launching an offensive against the 12th Corps.

The brigade commander's command level is needless to say, and the troops and firearms he has are also acceptable. The level of gun manufacturing in the logistics arsenal is not too bad. In this day and age, the manufacturing skills of bolt-action rifles are not much different.

The differences between Japanese, Soviet, American, etc. bolt-action rifles are not that big.

The only difference lies in tanks and artillery. The Central Plains Army mostly uses self-made artillery, whose overall performance is weaker than that of American artillery.

Relying on the howitzer battalion donated by Ding Wei, they took on the firepower of the attack.

Hey, hey, hey, it was agreed that it was a loan, but when it came to Commander Chen's mouth, it became a gift.

Relying on strong firepower, the troops blocked the 12th Corps.

The comrades of the 4th Column fought very bravely.

Ding Wei's column fought more fiercely. They agreed to encircle the 12th Corps. After the troops arrived at the front line, they immediately launched an attack.

Surrounded?

No matter how the Kuomintang army tries to encircle them, they can just punch through them head-on. Intersperse, intersperse, and intersperse and that's it.

Directly in front of the 12th Corps, there appeared many fish-scale trench positions, which were combat fortifications used by the main force. The Kuomintang soldiers in charge of reconnaissance immediately reported the situation on the front line.

Huang and several army commanders quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

The commander of the 18th Army, Yang Botao, had a very clear vision and a deep understanding of the field army.

"The situation in Xuzhou is far more dangerous than described in the intelligence. I suspect that the main force of the Central Plains is surrounding our rear. At this moment, if we continue to follow the command of General Liu, we may be in danger of being destroyed."

The most conservative approach at this time was to avoid the main force of the enemy's column, advance to the southeast, and join forces with Li Yannian and Liu Ruming's Corps in the south of Suxian.

Gather the forces of the 12th Corps and the Liu-Li Corps and march northward to open up Su County.

Commander Huang was very worried. "I'm afraid I can't take on the responsibility of changing the marching route."

Yang Botao was indignant and loudly advised:

"The enemy's intention to encircle us is very obvious. In front of our army, there are two main columns of Ding Wei's East Field Army. Commander Huang, do you understand the combat effectiveness of Ding Wei's column?"

"The main force of the column, which is comparable to our army's ace, has arrived right under our noses and is attacking our vanguard troops."

The situation was true. The Central Field Army Column was moving non-stop to encircle the 12th Corps.

Ding Wei's column and Commander Chen's 4th column had already become entangled with the vanguard of the 12th Corps.

If you don't run now, you will be surrounded by others.

I really can't understand why they still care about the so-called military orders when the situation is so pressing? General Liu doesn't know anything about military orders.

The meeting ended unpleasantly, and the nerd was a little confused. He could also sense the offensive of Zhongye, especially Ding Wei's two columns, which cooperated with the 4th column to clamp down on the left and right.

The firepower is very strong and the ability to penetrate the position is very strong.

In just half a day, they had already broken through two defensive positions of the 18th Army. That was the 18th Army, one of the five trump cards.

Yang Botao's worries are normal. When has the main force ever been easily fooled by others?

By evening, the offensive of the 12th Corps and the Independent 6th Corps became more fierce. After the supporting fire arrived, the howitzers fired at the positions.

In just a moment, the carefully arranged defensive positions of the National Army were overturned.

Bunkers, firing points, and cross-fire were all useless and were repeatedly taught a lesson by artillery.

The artillery was accurate and powerful, and the shells landed precisely where the troops attacked. The coordination between the column infantry and artillery was amazing for the 18th Army.

The nerd felt that the situation was indeed dangerous and that he could no longer follow military orders, so he communicated with the army commanders and asked them to move to the southern part of Suxian County.

Yang Botao was so happy when he heard about the transfer. Damn it, don't let him face Ding Wei's column, the pressure is too great.

The 18th Army was particularly active and was the first to complete its assembly and prepare to flee to the southern part of Suxian.
