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

This period of time was a happy time for the New 1st Regiment. There were no Japanese raids, and they would occasionally pull out infantry guns to man a gun tower.

Relying on the spoils from the artillery tower, they had no worries about food and drink.

Ding Wei sat in the room and smelled a fragrance.

While strolling in the nearby mountains, the reconnaissance company discovered a nest of pheasants.

After chasing it halfway up the hill, I finally caught it.

After taking it back to the regiment headquarters, we stewed a pot of chicken soup with some mushrooms from the mountain.

Everyone can smell the meat.

Zhuzi put his hands in his arms and strode into Ding Wei's yard.

As he walked, he looked around vigilantly, as if he was doing something wrong.

Zhang Dabiao saw clearly how he acted like a thief.

He immediately followed on tiptoe.

Through the crack in the door, I saw Wang Chengzhu take out two bottles of wine and put them on the table.

"Captain, please try my cooking. It is definitely better than the authentic sweet potato stew."

Ding Wei looked at the pillar and asked with a smile:

"Did you taste it?"

"No, I didn't taste it."

"You smell like alcohol when you speak, haven't you tasted it yet?"

Zhuzi grinned and stretched out his fingers to explain, "I just tasted a small sip. I haven't brewed wine for a long time, so I don't know if the taste is right."

"You drank it, so how can I blame you? Bring me the bowl, so I can taste your cooking skills, Wang Chengzhu."

Ding Wei had no intention of blaming him. He took out the bowl and tasted it. Well, it was indeed more authentic than the sweet potato stew bought outside and had no bitter taste.

Spicy, sweet and strong, it is the taste of grain wine.

"Da Biao, do you enjoy lying under the door crack?"

Zhang Dabiao, who was peeking outside the door, was discovered. He laughed and strode in. He came here because he smelled alcohol.

"Captain, I have something to report to you."

"Stop talking nonsense. What can you do? Come on, come on, sit there."

Giving each of them a tea bowl, Zhang Dabiao quickly took the wine bottle, sniffed it, and diligently filled Ding Wei's glass, then poured himself a full glass.

"When you lead troops in battle, stay away from this stuff. Come, let's have some fun together."

The three of them held their tea bowls and drank them in two or three gulps. It was so refreshing.

There was no snack to go with the wine, he just grimaced and took a few breaths of cold air, but his heart was very open.

With Zhuzi's skill, you will never be short of sweet potato stew.

"Captain, I really have something to report to you. The Japanese soldiers you asked to keep an eye on Dahan Mountain came with several trucks this morning and brought in a lot of prisoners."

"Afterwards, many bodies were thrown out from the stronghold. When the brothers came closer to take a look, they found that all of them were beaten to death."

Ding Wei frowned.

These Japanese bastards have done so much harm to people.

The Dahan Mountain stronghold has clearly been exposed, but Yamamoto's special forces did not move and continued to transport prisoners here. What were they thinking?

Then Ding Wei knew what the other party was thinking.

The conceited Yamamoto Ikki transferred an infantry company to build artillery towers on the hills around the stronghold.

The base was expanded, more than 30 new recruits were recruited, and brutal combat training was carried out.

It was as if declaring war on the New 1st Regiment. Come and fight me. I know you have arranged reconnaissance.

This attitude is really arrogant.

Thanks to the strong fortifications of the stronghold, the presence of a squadron of Japanese soldiers to support the position, and the main forces of Yu County and Yangquan able to provide support at any time, they were able to feel confident.

Yamamoto wanted to prove the ability of the special forces team once again by attacking the Eighth Route Army command headquarters under the surveillance of Ding Wei.

Considering that assembling a new regiment to attack the Dahan Mountain stronghold would inevitably result in heavy losses, it is different from Wangmu Mountain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it has the defect of water source.

The secret base in Dahan Mountain was well-built and had a well inside, so there was no shortage of food or clothing.

The stationed troops are sufficient and have strong firepower. Reinforcements can arrive in half an hour, so it is not advisable to attack by force.

Ding Wei's response strategy was also very rough, which was to send troops to block the enemy and destroy roads and blow up bridges.

In addition to the two main battalions of Zhang Dabiao and Gao Qing, 5-8 separate companies will be formed.

Three companies were arranged to guard the vicinity of Dahan Mountain, equipped with light and heavy machine guns, ready to ambush and block the Japanese special forces as soon as they showed up.

Another method is to choose a suitable section of road and overturn it with a pickaxe of explosives.

Find the bridges along the way and blow them up secretly.

There are unexpected rewards for destroying roads and blowing up bridges, which is also one of the main sources of weapons and equipment for Ding Wei.

The new regiment was recruiting soldiers very quickly. On top of the original one company of recruits, two more companies of recruits were added.

Zhong Zhicheng was busy with training new recruits and arranging guerrillas and personnel lurking behind enemy lines, and his temples were filled with white hair.

Ding Wei did not just sit there and do nothing. He kept a close eye on the main forces such as the cavalry company, the guard company, the first battalion and the second battalion.

His fighting style is different from Li Yunlong's, and his soldiers need to understand and become familiar with it.

Zhang Dabiao was most puzzled. There had been no combat missions in the past few days, but he had to carry a pickaxe and dig up the road every day. What kind of training was this?

"Captain, when will you take the brothers to kill the devils? My big blade has become rusty."

Ding Wei was the type who made his fortune secretly. The gains from destroying the roads in the past few days were much greater than those from fighting the Japanese invaders.

On the first day, 198 meters of road were destroyed and two Soviet M1910 heavy machine guns with wheeled gun mounts, flash suppressors, shields and 2 rounds of ammunition were captured.

On the second day, 367 meters of road were destroyed, and 40 PPD-40 submachine guns and 5 rounds of bullets were seized.

On the third day, 668 meters of road were destroyed, and 500 water-repeating rifles and 10 rounds of bullets were seized.

On the fourth day, 1036 meters of road were destroyed, and 4 heavy machine guns, 20 light machine guns, and 20 rounds of bullets for light and heavy machine guns were captured.

The road near the Zhengtai Line has been almost completely demolished by the Xinyi Group. It is full of potholes, with broken edges and deep pits everywhere.

The problem may not be obvious at this time, but if there is a heavy rain and the roadbed is washed away, it will be enough to give the Japanese a headache.

Captain Tujing of Yu County learned the news and gathered more than 800 military police and puppet troops to inspect the situation along the highway.

The motorcycle was going so fast that the soldier riding it didn't notice the break in the road at all, and was thrown off.

A half-meter-deep trench was dug in the good road surface.

"Baga, this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers are very cunning. After clearing the turrets, they started to destroy the road surface."

Doi quickly called the engineers to restore the road surface with shovels.

Highways and artillery towers were the iron wall encirclement tactics devised by the Japanese, who used the road network to cut the base into blocks of varying sizes.

Then use the artillery tower to suppress the Eighth Route Army who are short of guns and ammunition.

Further compress the Eighth Route Army's range of activities.

The artillery tower was destroyed and the puppet troops retreated to the vicinity of the county town.

Now the roads have also been damaged, which is simply intolerable.

"Has the commander of the Yangquan Brigade replied? We urgently need the main force of the field troops to wipe out the Xinyi Regiment."

"If they keep digging, we won't even be able to leave the county."

"Arrange road guards and dispatch armored vehicles to patrol the highway day and night to catch this gang of Eighth Route Army soldiers."

Captain Doi took a deep breath and his face became extremely gloomy.

He yelled at the engineers and asked them to bring rubble and tamp down the gaps.

The engineers dared not get angry or say anything, and they just obediently laid a layer of gravel.

Looking further ahead, we can see that every few sections are filled with potholes.

Could it be that this group of local thugs were originally moles?

It’s a headache. It’s such a headache.
