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

Ding Wei did not participate in the initial battle, but cleaning up the mess of the 12th Corps was beyond his expectations.

The remnants of the 18th Army put up a frenzied resistance.

They were so cruel that they stuffed hundreds of cars with mud and used them as fortifications.

If I hadn't felt sorry for the cars, I would have ended the round of firing long ago.

The battle was ended by means of psychological warfare, blasting, and surprise attack. It took a little longer than expected, but it didn't have much of an impact.

What was harvested were hundreds of cars stuffed with mud, which, after being cleaned up, could be pulled out and used.

There is a lot of silt in the Yellow River flood area, but there are also passable roads, and cars can help transport troops or logistical supplies, which is of great help.

Especially the heavy artillery and artillery shells at hand, which need to be towed by vehicles.

A shell weighs dozens of kilograms, and mules and horses alone can't carry much.

There were already hundreds of large trucks coming from the northeast, and they received a lot of captured vehicles along the way. The proportion of vehicles in the four columns was very high. They were enough to achieve semi-mechanized operation, and they all rushed towards Chenguanzhuang.

Du Yiqi's elite troops have been surrounded in Chenguanzhuang.

Along with Ding Wei came the brigade commander's 4th column and another 2nd column. These two troops followed Ding Wei's four columns and moved towards the northwest.

It was only 60 kilometers away and had been firmly blocked by the field army.

It formed an iron barrel-like encirclement.

The elite troops in the circle were struck by a bolt from the blue. Just as they had decided to fight to the death, they suddenly received the second telegram.

They said there was no way to break through the air blockade and it was difficult to carry out ammunition airdrops.

"I knocked on his sandbox. He was able to transport gold bars and US dollars and officials, but he couldn't transport ammunition. In my opinion, the Air Force's planes were all used for private work."

Great idea. Definitely a great idea.

How can the troops fight without ammunition replenishment?

General Sun Yuanliang, who was the best at escaping, put forward his own opinion, "The current situation does not allow us to continue to carry out the orders of the Lord. We are short of ammunition and weapons for attacking. We should break out and preserve our elite forces."

Du Yiqi has lost his own opinion, so let's just break out.

Anyway, 30 troops have been surrounded here, and life and death are just a matter of a second.

After a brief military meeting, the few of them immediately forgot Niang Xipi's order.

Anyway, we were marching eastward according to orders. The troops were surrounded, and it had nothing to do with us. It was all orders from our superiors.

Okay, okay, let’s agree to break out.

Du Yiqi, Yu'an, Li Mi and Sun Yuanliang all agreed to break out.

After the meeting, Yu'an returned to his Fifth Army, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly changed his mind.

I think it is unreliable to break out, and it is more reasonable to hold on and wait for help.

Whether it's breaking out or holding on, let's discuss it together.

Since Yu'an had changed his mind, Du Yiqi quickly contacted the other two. Li Hao was fine and just had to follow Du Yiqi's orders firmly.

But General Sun YL couldn't get through on the phone.

As soon as the old man returned to the army, he immediately ordered people to cut the telephone lines and shut down the radio, just in case the order was changed.

After much difficulty in persuading them to break out, even gods could not stop him.

That night, the army attacked the outer encirclement, and only Sun's troops attacked the field column. Wasn't that pure suicide?

After the army was defeated, the soldiers fled in disorder.

The flying general disguised himself as a civilian and quickly escaped from the chaotic crowd.

What does it matter to him whether all the troops are killed or not, as long as he can escape?

An entire corps, almost two armies' worth of troops, was destroyed, but General Fei himself managed to escape all the way south and successfully returned to Nanjing.

That's great! When it comes to the ability to escape, if he is second, no one would dare to claim to be first.

When Ding Wei's column arrived at the battlefield, the troops were already cleaning up.

Destroying two armies and killing 40,000 to 50,000 people gave the columns a chance to catch their breath.

The two field armies suffered heavy losses in the head-on clash with Niang Xipi's elite main force. However, they could quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the troops by obtaining prisoners in a timely manner.

Especially the light and heavy machine gunners, some veterans are very good.

After transformation, you can quickly engage in liberation battles.

The 2nd Division, which fought fiercely with Chu Yunfei in the northwest of Xuzhou, lost most of its veteran soldiers, and the two units were evenly matched.

The 89th Division, known as the ace among aces, also suffered from numbness in its hands and feet.

Li Yunlong, who had been clamoring to fight hard, also seemed to be exhausted.

The veterans brought from northwestern Shanxi suffered heavy casualties, the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Division declined, and it urgently needed reinforcements.

The key point is that there have been no major battles on the Huaye side recently, and there are no extra troops to reinforce Li Yunlong. This guy has encountered the 4th Column, which is wealthy and slightly improving.

He immediately found his organization and started crying about being poor.

"Old leader, old leader, I, Li Yunlong, am dying, and my troops are almost wiped out. Considering our friendship over the years, you have to help me."

"I kneel down for you. I kneel down for you."

Commander Chen snorted and stared at Li Yunlong with a squint.

"Kneel down, let me see how Master Li kneels down."

Li Yunlong immediately complained about his grievances. He had helped others to block an attack and was detained and sent to the Huaye Army.

Nakano must be his mother's family.

You can't say that water has been poured out and no one will take care of a girl once she's married.

The 70th Column has made two fortunes recently. The brigade commander first absorbed a complete 18th Army, and then consumed a lot of elite troops from the th Army.

We seized a lot of heavy weapons, especially American artillery, which were some interesting stuff.

It's mouth-watering to look at. It has better performance and longer range than domestically produced artillery.

Every large-caliber howitzer counts, and they are all good treasures to have in the bottom of the box.

Commander Chen expanded a howitzer regiment based on the "borrowed" howitzer battalion of Ding Wei.

As the fighting in Fengtian and Beiping came to an end, the North was basically liberated and production resumed. With a steady supply of shells and bullets, the combat effectiveness of the troops could be further improved.

"No, not even one. Just look at how much I'm worth and move me over there."

Commander Chen flicked his clothes, trying to send Li Yunlong away.

How can a dignified teacher be as shameless as a sticky candy?

"Go and seize the spoils if you can. Go after me. I'm not a rich landlord. I don't have any extra property for you to squander."

"Get out, hurry up and get out."

Li Yunlong also wanted to seize the spoils, but he had a big fight with Chu Yunfei and got nothing.

If the brigade commander doesn't help him, no one can.

Looking at the weapons and equipment of the 4th Column, he was really drooling.

There was no way out. The brigade commander got angry and said he would kick him, and he really dared to do so.

Every thing has its own nemesis, like brine to make tofu.

Li Yunlong got himself into trouble, so he begged Commander Chen for some weapons and equipment, and then he slipped away contentedly.

I don’t know where they got more than 3000 prisoners, but they were added to the Second Division.

Others are getting better and better, but he is different. He can't even survive with Tongtiandai.

Until now, he is still a division commander.

The larger the scale of the war, the less valuable clever tricks are. In offensive battles, encirclement battles, and annihilation battles, there is no use for clever tricks.

There are only two things that are tested in Corps combat: strict military discipline and strong firepower. Everything else is nonsense.
