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

Most of those killed were main forces, which severely damaged the American-equipped division's organization. They were definitely killed in battle with serious consequences.

Their military strength is not large to begin with, and each division has strong firepower, with the actual strength being around 1.6 to 1.8 men.

The main combat infantry consists of only a few thousand people, and the rest are auxiliary arms such as supporting firepower and air support.

The loss of personnel was not the only thing, the front line was lost, a large number of heavy weapons were lost, and the tanks assigned to the troops also suffered heavy losses.

A group of people ran out as if they were fleeing. They had no intention of continuing to fight and continued to retreat southward.

Ridgway's face looked extremely bad. They had clearly gained a slight advantage, so why had the battle come to this point? Were the Dragon Country's volunteers really invincible?

His fist slammed heavily on the table.

The two divisions, two brigades and one puppet army division deployed on the northern front are now remnants and their combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced.

Once Ding Wei's three armies complete their cleaning mission and reorganize themselves to attack from the south, the three American-equipped divisions on the southern front will also be in trouble.

For the entire war situation, the defeat on the northern front affected the entire war. As a result, the southern front had to stop the offensive, retreat to the rear, and stabilize the defense line.

I really can't accept this. The wolfhound tactics and the magnetic tactics have obviously been effective and have boosted morale to a certain extent. However, this large-scale defeat has shattered the morale that we had accumulated with great difficulty.

I have the urge to vomit blood!

Ridgway was also quite troubled because his direct superior did nothing and just did nothing but brag.

Direct subordinates can't get anything done, not even bragging.

Should we continue to fight this battle? Otherwise, we should stop fighting.

The two sides repeatedly fought in front of the front line. Unwilling to accept defeat, the American-equipped troops retreated for a distance and stabilized their formation again.

Relying on the logistical supplies pouring in from the rear, the troops were re-equipped.

The wealthy Eagles lost a semi-automatic rifle and immediately replenished it with a batch.

After losing a tank, a new one was immediately brought in.

The order of 2.5 million is only enough to equip one or two divisions and buy some planes and tanks.

A large number of howitzers were airlifted in, and several howitzer positions were set up in the direction of retreat. During the retreat, several counterattack lines of defense were built.

If any troops advance rashly, they are likely to be bitten back.

Some circular fortifications were specially arranged and a large amount of counterattack firepower was deployed.

Ding Wei personally ordered to stop the pursuit. The fundamental reason was the news coming from the direction of Sakura Country.

The United States has transported 2.5 million US dollars worth of supplies to the peninsula. The large amount of American weapons and equipment is enough to make up for the losses in this operation.

Equipment is easy to replenish, but people are not.

Two divisions, two brigades, and a puppet army division all suffered heavy losses.

Especially the fake military advisor, who was eaten up completely.

The soldiers of the three armies stopped the pursuit and began to clean up the battlefield and collect the gifts from the Allied Forces.

Weapons and equipment are scattered all over the mountains, and discarded supplies can be found everywhere.

It's like making a fortune.

"Captain, what is this?"

A group of people took coffee and thought it was something delicious, but it tasted bitter every time they took a sip.

Some people have seen that this is a foreign thing that needs to be taken with boiling water, so they specially asked the kitchen team to boil a pot of water and picked up the jar to taste it.

"You said this foreigner, why doesn't he want to eat good meat but likes to drink this stuff?"

Some people were reluctant to drink it and planned to take it home after the battle was over.

At night, feed it to your child.

Maybe it's for nutritional supplements. It won't be a waste if you drink it now.

There were also some captured supplies in front of Ding Wei.

It was a box of Coke that was transported by the 59th Army’s car.

As a time traveler, I used to love this thing very much.

I immediately took it out and shared it with the brigade commander.

"If you want to talk about coffee, I've had it before. I've also had contact with foreigners, but why haven't I tried this thing before? What is it?"

"This is the foreigners' happy water. Drinking it will make you happy."

He didn't believe a word of Ding Wei's explanation.

After two sips, I didn't feel any happiness.

Then he looked through other seized items.

His face twisted, "Ding Wei, where are the weapons and equipment? They are all things I don't like."

Oh my, the brigade commander always likes to ask about captured spoils.

The key point is that Ding is not a golden goose that lays eggs. He has the strength of three armies, each with a gun, and the consumption is relatively high.

The landlord has no surplus food.

Who doesn’t like captured heavy weapons?

Who doesn’t like captured tank equipment?

Ding Wei certainly did not intend to take out the American weapons, but he could give the brigade commander a division of Soviet weapons.

We have just received a batch of water-fired machine guns, rotary machine guns, Guoliunov heavy machine guns, as well as mortars, field guns, howitzers and other heavy weapons, enough to equip a Soviet-equipped division.

"That's quite nice of you. I'll give you all the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Armored Division in one go."

The brigade commander smiled disdainfully, "Don't think I don't know that your troops won a victory on the northern front, destroying more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces, dozens of tanks, and hundreds of vehicles of the coalition forces."

"You, Ding Wei, are extremely rich."

"Well, if all the troops were the same strength as yours, I wouldn't have anything to worry about."

The heavy weapons of each army vary greatly. Some main armies can get howitzers and mountain guns, while some troops only have a dozen mountain guns and a dozen infantry guns.

The heavy weapons of a regiment of the Eagle Sauce are not as many as those of the Eagle Sauce.

If the rear wants to pull up the artillery, they also have to consider the roadbed conditions.

Fighting is not easy, the logistics line is too poor, and the supply of various materials is insufficient.

Ding Wei also sighed. With the combat capabilities of his three armies, it was enough to sweep the northern battlefield.

The root of the problem is logistics.

In addition, he was unwilling to use Manchuria's supplies to help Jin Xiaoer fight indefinitely.

With Manchuria's strength, Ding Wei can fully mobilize cars, transport ships and transport planes to transport supplies.

The question in my mind is, is it worth it?

Paying money to help Jin Xiaoer fight against the Eagle Sauce did not meet his expectations.

It would be enough to fight when there is time to put an end to the opponent's arrogance. As long as the coalition forces do not attack, he is still willing to let the troops continue to garrison.

A large amount of captured equipment was collected in the temporary warehouse.

Ding Wei also received a reward for the penetration and blocking operations, and three divisions were mobilized to carry out penetration and encirclement operations, which included a large number of blocking battles.

Every blocking battle will receive material rewards.

It includes 36 howitzers, 2 artillery shells, 800 million rounds of ammunition, 120 light and heavy machine guns, 48 ​​mortars, 24 rocket launchers, 24 anti-aircraft guns, 300 vehicles, 120 tanks and armored vehicles, and 5 Tianshu fighter jets.

In addition to the spoils of war, the material rewards obtained were extremely rich.

These supplies are free, require no cost, and do not require any replenishment. Ding Wei himself is equivalent to a mobile arsenal.

But that was all. He couldn't possibly support other armies for free, and the rewards he received were only enough to support three armies.

There is no need for saints in war, and mercy will only hurt yourself.

The 59th, 56th and 57th Armies were escorting a large number of prisoners, among whom were many injured soldiers. After being kicked a few times, their minor injuries healed quickly.

These people are free labor, helping to carry supplies.
