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

Ding Wei didn't show up at all. He learned that the old man Li Yunlong was strolling around nearby and was afraid that he could not avoid him.

He is a person who would suffer a loss if he cannot gain any advantage.

This time, they followed the 89th Division in a big battle and probably suffered a great loss.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have begged Commander Chen and come to borrow troops in a humble manner.

Is this a plan to borrow troops and then go after Chu Yunfei for revenge?

There is a chance that this time, when we encircle and suppress Du’s corps, there will be enough food for 30 people, and all the columns can be well fed.

The prerequisite is that Li Yunlong attacks in an orderly manner and does not try to be clever.

Don't take a small force to raid other people's headquarters. If a division commander does that, even gods can't save him.

Even Ding Wei felt exhausted in a war of this scale.

When it comes to a fight involving hundreds of thousands of troops, the situation cannot be reversed by just one or two artillery pieces; it requires more cannons, more planes, and more artillery shells.

The strengths and weaknesses of both sides were clear: our morale was high, while that of the local forces was on the verge of collapse.

During the march, Ding Wei received news from North Manchuria.

A secret report sent by Zhou Weiguo himself.

First, the battle in Fengtian was over, and the defenders surrendered in large numbers. The main forces of the remaining columns were marching towards North China to support the Central Plains battlefield.

The most urgent task is to take over the defense of the entire three provinces. The North Manchuria Corps, Zhang Dabiao Corps, Gao Qing Column and others have been stationed in the north to ensure that all the troops north of the mountain pass are their own.

Coupled with the smooth flow of internal government affairs, factories are gradually resuming operations.

With Harbin as the center, the heavy industrial belt will resume production.

Second, they can take advantage of the situation in the Far East to further infiltrate personnel into the autonomous region and take root in another way.

It may not necessarily be an open military conflict, but it can also interfere with decision-making in the Far East.

Khabarovsk, Amur Oblast and Primorsky Krai can all increase friendly exchanges and place personnel there in advance.

He continued to invite many retired officers from Dezi to serve as instructors in the north to guide the troops to complete modernization construction.

It is not just a change in military thinking, but more of an innovation in armaments, weapons, and technical arms.

There are several urgent matters, including the establishment of the Northern Military Academy to send talented and worthy officers for further study.

Learn the latest combat concepts.

Optimize military factories, especially tanks and aircraft, upgrade propeller fighters and transform them into jet fighters.

We can learn from the technology of the Eagles, the Russians and the Japanese to manufacture and produce our own weapons and equipment.

Cannons, planes and tanks are the foundation of our existence.

Ding Wei does not agree with this point. Cannons, planes and tanks are the foundation of existence, and the root of existence is mushrooms.

The technology in this area is top secret and requires a certain level of national strength to develop. We are willing to kill the enemy, but we are powerless to reverse the situation.

The mind is full but the strength is not enough.

But no matter what, research must be started in advance, as mushrooms will be the hidden treasure of the future.

The Mushroom, Rocket and Missile Research Institutes were established to secretly prepare scientific research forces.

It now seems that the situation in the Central Plains can be slowed down.

No matter how many trump cards he plays, it doesn't mean much to Ding Wei.

His military achievements are enough.

Whether one can be promoted to a general is not only determined by military merit, but also by the balance of power among factions. I didn't dare to think about it before, but now I can really say that Ding Wei must be a marshal.

He made a temporary decision that after the Huaihai Campaign, he would withdraw to the north.

The next battle can be completely handed over to the column commander under his command. Once Du Yiqi is captured, the Central Plains will be pacified.

The rest are just military merits. Once Niang Xipi's elite troops are lost, everything will be over.

The Battle of Fengtian ended, and the next issue was the issue of Beijing.

The several columns that are blocking this side can temporarily complete their mission. Gao Qing and Zhang Dabiao will retreat to the north and be responsible for the garrison outside the Great Wall.

The columns of Wang Tao and Kong Yong are temporarily stationed in Tianjin and Tang.

Kong Jie's column split a force and sent it northwest, which was integrated into Sun Desheng's army to strengthen the unit's strength and sweep across the local forces in Suiyuan.

He is an honest man. All these troops were sent by Ding Wei in one go. Now that they have been trained, don't blame Ding Wei for withdrawing them.

Two divisions were withdrawn from the column and transferred to the Suiyuan area.

The remaining column troops were stationed in Peiping, and after joining forces with the field column outside the Great Wall, they would wait together for arrangements.

Zhang Dabiao saw what was on Ding Wei's mind and couldn't help asking.

"Commander, should we continue the attack? Or should we take a short break?"

"Rest first and put aside the battle in front of you. Comrades, you have been fighting and marching continuously, and you are exhausted. Rest for three days and wait for new combat orders."

"Da Biao, give your corps an order to withdraw to Fengtian and take over the defense of Fengtian and Liaodong."

"Contact Wanqiu with a secret order to take over the port, mobilize ships, and restore the port's throughput capacity. Establish a shipping company to take over local shipping tasks."

Inland gunboats can be built by ourselves. If we cannot manufacture warships, we can build dozens of inland heavy gunboats to patrol the inland seas along the coast.

Things like layout may only require a sentence or two, but they require more than half a year in advance.

Zhang Dabiao understood what he meant and asked him if he would go back in person.

Ding Wei waved his hand and said, "Let Zhou Weiguo take over your command temporarily. The current war still needs a backbone. When the war in the Central Plains is over, you will command the remaining battles for me, and I will return to the north."

The two men didn't say much, but they knew the importance of every order.

The war is likely to end quickly, and gaining a good position in advance is more important than the so-called annihilation of one or two armies or the liberation of one or two cities.

The true God is still there, and Ding Wei wants to get the authority to protect himself.

As long as he has the army, no one can touch him.

The troops rested for three consecutive days and showed some signs of slacking off, but it did not affect the current battle.

After all, Ding Wei had helped to eat up the 12th Corps, and the manpower of several columns saved was enough to cope with the Central Plains battlefield.

Jinling could no longer mobilize any troops, and without reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before Du Yiqi was defeated.

The troop movements outside the Great Wall were particularly intense. Zhou Weiguo was ordered to mobilize five divisions of the North Manchuria Corps to station in Xinjing.

The troops of Zhang Dabiao's Corps were also mobilized to defend Fengtian.

Gao Qing's troops returned to Rehe for defense, and sent two divisions to the Chahar area to support the garrison on the front line of Xing'an Mountains.

As the war intensified, Ding Wei had already completed his layout in the north. Without his permission, external troops were not allowed to enter for the time being.

The transport ship coming from the island country brought a large amount of fresh fishery products.

Mu Liancheng also had smooth sailing, integrating shipping and fisheries, and was thriving. He really admired Ding Wei's vision. When all industries in the island country were abandoned, the fishery was extremely developed.

Due to the lack of food and clothing, fishing from the sea became the main source of food for the Japanese.

Food is transported from Lianlu Port, resold to island countries, and then returned in exchange for technology, equipment, and technicians.

After all the transactions, I made a fortune.

Although he was fishing in Hokkaido, he followed Ding Wei's orders and recruited some retired veterans in the Osaka area. This group of people were very keen on doing business.

Expanded the scale of sea transportation.

The 10,000-ton transport ship alone is enough to make people jealous.
