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

Taozi put Ding Wei's personal belongings in place.

Looking at the empty bottle on the table, which was the sweet potato liquor that Li Yunlong drank up, he picked it up and smelled it, then his face was full of intoxication.

"Captain, you take a rest first. I'll get a bucket of water to clean up."

Ding Wei brushed the dust off his clothes, walked into the house, looked at the simple map on the table, and frowned.

First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhong Zhicheng followed in.

"Captain Ding, do you have any instructions? Comrade Da Biao and I are ready to cooperate with you at any time."

"Comrade Lao Zhong, you are an old revolutionary, you can just call me Lao Ding. I would like to know the current situation of the New 1st Regiment, including its personnel, weapons and equipment, and ammunition reserves."

"Okay, the revolution is not about who's first and who's last. We're all good comrades. From now on, I'll call you Lao Ding and you'll call me Lao Zhong. I'll be the deputy commander of the New 1st Regiment, responsible for training and learning. Let me report on the current situation of the New 1st Regiment."

When this was mentioned, the atmosphere between the two cadres became gloomy.

The New 1st Regiment had just gone through a hard battle, breaking through the Sakata Regiment from the front and successfully breaking out.

However, the troops suffered heavy losses, many officers were injured, and more than 300 comrades were killed.

To put it in a positive way, the Sakata Regiment was defeated head-on and its headquarters was wiped out with a single shot.

It boosted morale and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese's arrogance.

But if we take it seriously, breaking through from the front caused unnecessary casualties.

A serious regimental commander would never rashly make such a stupid decision.

The main force group, which originally had more than 615 people, currently has 87 people, with injured.

The commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, was injured with a bullet hole in his leg; the commander of the third battalion was killed; the commander of the second battalion took the wounded soldiers to rest in a nearby village.

The casualties among battalion-level cadres were enough to cause serious damage.

Mortar gunner Wang Chengzhu was still there, which was beyond Ding Wei's expectation.

Come to think of it, it's just nonsense from a TV drama. How could an experienced veteran shout excitedly on the battlefield and be shot by the Japanese?

With such idiotic behavior, he can never become a veteran.

The situation of the troops was better than Ding Wei had imagined. After all, they won the battle, broke through the encirclement head-on, and defeated the command post of the Sakata Regiment.

Some combat supplies were also seized to make up for the combat losses, and the organization of two battalions is currently retained.

When Li Yunlong took over the new regiment, there were only two people with one gun. Now they have mortars, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns. The ammunition reserves are also relatively abundant, and each person can have 12 bullets.

Most of the troops had three bullets per person. When they ran out of bullets, they would rush forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat, which was called the Three Guns and Eighth Route Army by the Japanese.

Li Yunlong was a very wild guy in his way of seizing equipment and he even used it to buy all these belongings for the New 1st Regiment.

Ding Wei was no ordinary man either. His 28th Regiment of Ji Zhong had expanded to a large group of 3000 people.

The only ones who feel gratified are the veterans of the new regiment who have combat experience and are the backbone members of the future.

"Thank you, Da Biao and Lao Zhong, for calming down the emotions in the group. We must obey the arrangements from above."

"Also, the mapping skills of the regiment are not very good. I'm new here, so I'll find a few scouts who are familiar with the terrain to help me get familiar with it."

Zhang Dabiao and the other man nodded, saluted, and went to select scouts.

After breaking out, the New 1st Regiment was stationed in Xingjiazhuang, located on the border between Shanxi and Hebei.

In the mountainous area in the northwest of Fuping County.

The terrain is complex and the mountain roads are rugged. The only thing that bothers Ding Wei is that there are very few bridges.

Ding Zhaqiao’s reputation cannot be wasted.

Among the abilities that come with him, there are special bonuses for destroying railroad and road supply lines and blowing up bridges.

The ammunition reward for blocking operations has been experienced, what is the reward for blowing up the bridge?

We have to let Mr. Ding see it for himself.

The first order he gave to the scouts was to mark out all the roads and bridges in the area where the New 1st Regiment was stationed.

If we have to bomb it, we have to bomb the important ones that can affect the Japanese transport team.

Blowing up a bridge that only ordinary people can use is simply out of control.

It also affects your travel.

Several soldiers from the reconnaissance squad were riding horses and strolling on the hillside.

He complained: "I think this new leader is no good. He is far worse than our leader Li."

"Look at him, he's tall and artistic, he's probably a fool."

"If we don't fight the devils and take over the artillery tower, we will have to find a way to get to the bridge. These good horses will be wasted."

Ma Jie, the squad leader of the reconnaissance squad, stopped everyone and said, "Don't guess randomly. The new commander must have his own considerations. You go to the east, you go to the west, and I'll go to the north. We must explore all the intersections and bridges in this area."

"Squad leader, does a single-plank bridge count? Should it be recorded?"

Ma Jie scratched his head.

A single-plank bridge is also considered a bridge.

"As long as it's a bridge, no matter whether it's made of wood or stone, find it for me."

The horses dispersed and the brothers of the reconnaissance squad headed into the mountains.

Soon, some brothers turned back and ran the entire 30 kilometers around Xingjiazhuang where the New st Regiment was located.

All the major roads and bridges were recorded. Even the single-log bridge in the village was found by Ding Wei.

Looking at the dense marks on the map, Ding Wei laughed and marveled at the honesty of the reconnaissance squad.

His eyes were fixed on a white stone bridge built in the Qing Dynasty, which was built on the Mo River 40 miles away, near Wanjia Town where the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion was located.

This bridge is very impressive. It is connected to Wangmu Mountain in the north. The Japanese built eight bunkers and a gun tower here. There were more than 200 Japanese and more than 100 puppet troops in total.

Wanjia Town is seven or eight miles south of Baishiqiao, where the puppet army cavalry battalion is stationed.

It is reasonable and moral for Ding to blow up the bridge.

He was also planning to plunder Wanjia Town recently, and the horses and equipment of this battalion were a big piece of fat meat.

The New 1st Regiment couldn't eat all of it, so they could give the excess to the brigade commander to curry his favor.

It's better than giving it to that bandit Li Yunlong. Once something goes into his mouth, he can never spit it out.

"Ma Jie, arrange for the brothers in the reconnaissance squad to go over in the dark and blow up Baishi Bridge for me to cut off the connection between the Japanese and the puppet army."

"Yes, Captain, I will take people to do it tonight."

This kind of thing is not difficult at all. There are no Japanese soldiers stationed at Baishiqiao. We can just sneak over there and place a bomb and it will be done.

At nightfall, a muffled sound alarmed the puppet army in Wanjia Town and the Japanese devils on Wangmu Mountain.

Late at night, the bridge exploded.

The reconnaissance squad quickly withdrew and returned to their base without firing a shot.

The Japanese and puppet troops were left confused.

The water flow of Mohe River is not strong. The deepest part is up to the chest, and the shallow water is just above the knees.

Even if there is no bridge, you can still cross the river by wading through the water.

If all else fails, just put two pieces of wood and build a simple wooden bridge. This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers were very wild, they blew up the Baishi Bridge without any purpose.

Ding Wei was waiting for news at the regiment headquarters. When the explosion occurred and the Baishi Bridge was shattered, his expression immediately became energetic.

The bridge used by the Japanese invaders was destroyed and 9 Degtyarev light machine guns, DP-28 model, were obtained.

Machine guns and bullets appeared neatly in his system space. After killing more than a dozen puppet soldiers, it had expanded to the size of a small room.

What a pleasant surprise, absolutely a pleasant surprise.

A company with three Type 9 rifles was considered to be the main force. Ding Wei got nine Type rifles at once.

Shiraishi Bridge is worth it!
