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

The front-line command is not yet in southern Yunnan, and this needs to be introduced separately.

As the troops advanced toward the southwest, those who were stubborn and unyielding were resolutely struck and eliminated, and patriotic figures were encouraged to revolt.

In the southwest region alone, more than 90 people were persuaded to revolt, saving many cities from war.

There were still 10 people in southern Yunnan who decided not to resist and were willing to accept transformation and reorganization before the troops arrived.

The main force had not arrived yet, and only the 12th Column and Ding Wei's other three columns came over first to keep an eye on the area and avoid greater chaos.

There were no large-scale battles, but small-scale gunfire continued.

There are still militia, bandits and small groups of defeated soldiers causing trouble.

Ding Wei accompanied the officers from southern Yunnan who revolted and went to the headquarters of Chen’s Corps.

In order to solve the problem in southern Yunnan as soon as possible and prevent the defeated soldiers from escaping to northern Myanmar, it is necessary to grasp the situation in southern Yunnan as soon as possible.

The situation is more complicated than expected. I thought it had been cleaned up, but after all this fuss, I found that there are still some small groups of Karami active.

The car was bumpy and the road was twisting and turning.

Chen Bingtuan’s headquarters is in the north and has just entered the territory. Zhang Dabiao is also active here.

Seeing Commander Chen from a distance, Ding Wei took a few quick steps and strode into the headquarters, as if he was returning home.

"You kid, let me treat you to a good meal. The troops are fighting in the south, and you are hiding in the north enjoying yourself. How can such a good thing happen? Even if others agree, I don't agree."

"Oh, my brigade commander, Ding Wei is here."

They say he is in poor health, and now it seems that, apart from not being able to drink, he can still smoke.

I didn't see any symptoms of poor health.

After saying hello to Zhang Dabiao and others, the staff analyzed the current situation.

The troops advanced quickly and encountered less risk, but it was impossible to stop the defeated troops from entering the south.

The mountains are high and the roads are long. Even if the soles of our feet are worn out, there is no way to catch up with the fleeing soldiers.

Many troops that were defeated in the Central Plains are crossing the border to the south and entering safe areas.

If you can't stop them, then don't stop them. Letting some people into the Golden Triangle is exactly what Ding Wei wants.

Find an opportunity to recruit these people, which is equivalent to free garrison forces.

"Ding Wei, you've come just in time. I have something important to discuss with you. I plan to reuse the people who participated in the uprising. Those who should be reused will be reused, and those who are unwilling to contribute will be given travel expenses and certificates to leave. What do you think?"

This kind of thing has both good and bad sides.

If you don't use him, it will destroy your sincerity in surrendering.

But if you reuse it blindly, it can easily cause confusion.

Southern Yunnan has 10 main forces, all of whom are well-trained and have decent combat effectiveness. If they are incorporated into the column, they can directly form combat effectiveness.

"I approve of your approach. Incorporating those without problems into the army will be enough to make up for the casualties."

The troops in southern Yunnan are more than 10, including defeated soldiers, scattered soldiers, etc. There are definitely more than people. At present, his column has arrived here first, so it is not too much to take the opportunity to expand it.

Especially the 6th and 12th columns, which have relatively weak foundations. The 8th and 9th columns are not that strong either. It would be a good idea to recruit to people each to make up for the consumption in the battle.

The brigade commander had worked hard to call Ding Wei over, so he had to pay some interest.

He also had to lead a staff group to the monkeys' side, where they had to sleep in the open air and live a very hard life.

No matter what, Ding Wei accepted these people from southern Yunnan.

There is a military academy here, and the officers trained there are of good quality and have a high level of drawing skills. On the way here, Ding Wei talked with the surrendered officers.

I can clearly feel that the other party has good overall qualities.

How bad can one be if he can read and has attended a military academy?

Zhang Dabiao must be very happy. The two things he is best at are, first, cleaning up the battlefield and throwing hats, and second, recruiting and reorganizing the troops to expand the manpower source.

During the difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he was able to mobilize thousands of people at any time.

Now that we have won continuous victories, it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

This was something Ding Wei had not thought of before. Arranging Zhang Dabiao in southern Yunnan, one in the south and one in the north, would allow him to have great potential in the future.

By absorbing local troops and reorganizing them with the four columns that came over to form a complete corps, the total number of troops alone was as high as 4.

It is not excessive at all to reorganize it into five armies.

Isn't it inappropriate to reorganize 10 troops right after arriving?

Ding Wei said something inappropriate, but his actions were not slow at all. Who is he with? He is an old leader, what's his is mine, and what's mine is still mine.

Zhang Dabiao was immediately arranged to go there in person and order the remaining three columns to advance into southern Yunnan.

What bandit leader?

What deserters?

What militia?

All obstacles were swept away, and no one could stop him from eating up these 10 outstanding troops.

"Da Biao, tell your men to eat less mushrooms. Who knows which one might be poisonous."

After giving the instructions, Zhang Dabiao hurried out to give orders, while Ding Wei and Commander Chen went inside to discuss matters between them.

Resisting France and aiding Vietnam was a strategic issue. The Dragon Kingdom had just been established and there was a new world to be created.

If the border is unstable, it will not be conducive to the development of the country. The war in the southwest has not ended yet, and the brigade commander cannot spare time, so Ding Wei will lead the team to understand the situation there.

Knowing both yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Without understanding the situation, no one dares to jump to conclusions.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Leave it to me."

Ding Wei didn't take a mere monkey or a clown seriously at all.

The monkey is a traitor, and France is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, yet it thinks it is a great power.

To deal with both of them, we had to take care of them all at once.

The climate in southern Yunnan is good and there are a lot of mushrooms. As soon as I arrived here, I carefully ordered a mushroom set meal.

If you ask them to get up for training, they may not be able to get up. But if you ask them to get up to dig mushrooms, they will be ready in the middle of the night.

In Riyue City, Lu Yun, the current King of Southern Yunnan, was the first person to surrender, and he surrendered his 10 main forces to Ding Wei.

Even though the opponent was so powerful, he couldn't let himself be discouraged. He temporarily served as the deputy commander of the Southern Yunnan Corps, and Zhang Dabiao took over the unit.

Ding Wei was still conservative. Since the battle of crossing the river, the troops had not suffered much loss. Instead, they captured many prisoners and reorganized them into the column.

There are four columns, each with four divisions. Excluding the wounded and demobilized, there are still 4 to people.

It was not a corps of 20 people, but more than 35 people.

Good guy, there is no need to conscript young men at all. We can select trained veterans from the defeated soldiers and integrate them into the army.

After two or three months of integration training, they would be almost integrated. Officers selected from the army were formed into a special training officer camp.

They are all people who are willing to surrender and have no special problems.

Officers from battalion and company level to regiment, brigade and division level were all in the special training officers camp, exchanging combat experiences with the officers under Ding Wei.

In particular, some large-scale troop combat techniques, mountain combat ideas, experience in leading troops, etc., are shared with each other.

The Yunnan Army's combat effectiveness is very good, with a good foundation and solid basic skills.

In the future, we will have to take the garrison on the southern border seriously.
