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

Chapter 22: Night Battle with Yu County Road Guard, Armored Vehicle Disappears Mysteriously

Captain Doi mobilized the gendarmerie and puppet troops to form a road protection team that patrolled day and night. They patrolled along the highway under the cover of two armored vehicles.

The accompanying soldiers hid behind the armored vehicle and looked left and right vigilantly.

This forced Zhang Dabiao and others who were preparing to continue demolishing the highway to retreat.

"Captain Zhang, what should we do?"

Zhang Dabiao looked at the Japanese and puppet troops, there were more than a hundred of them.

The armored vehicle drove slowly past, like a steel monster.

The Japanese in the car fired at the suspicious hill, and bullets flew everywhere.

"Retreat first, and let the leader make the decision when we get back."

"Go, go, go, evacuate carefully."

The brothers of the new regiment retreated quietly back to the mountains.

Ding Wei was waiting for the unexpected reward of destroying the road and blowing up the bridge, but he didn't hear any movement.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Zhang Dabiao and others retreating in disgrace.

"what happened?"

"Captain, it's no use tonight. The Japanese and the puppet army have organized armored vehicle patrols and are searching along the highway. Brothers, we have no chance."

Ding Wei cursed angrily.

The Japanese reacted very quickly, which affected his development.

I originally wanted to demolish all the roads around Yu County. The rewards I got would probably be enough to equip three or five regiments.

I was sitting at home counting money when the Japanese sent out armored vehicles.

The artillery towers and fragile armored vehicles were used to bully the Eighth Route Army because of its lack of artillery.

Ordinary bullets cannot penetrate it, and ordinary troops don’t have artillery.

Put out two armored vehicles and you can really run rampant.

But Captain Doi obviously picked the wrong person. The New 1st Regiment not only had cannons, but he, Ding Wei, also had no shortage of ammunition.

By hitting the New 1st Regiment, the Japanese have finally hit a wall.

The way to make money cannot be ruined by the railway protection team, so we must not destroy them.

"Da Biao, arrange a few people to find out the route of the Japanese road guards, and find an opportunity to kill them."

Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up, finally there was a battle to fight.

"Hey, I'll arrange for someone to check it out now."

The new regiment gathered a battalion of troops and was ready for battle at any time.

The next afternoon, the ambush location was decided on Shibangou Highway.

Ding Wei personally led the team to Shibangou to deploy defenses.

A Maxim heavy machine gun was taken out. The Soviet-made water-cooled heavy machine gun used a 250-round belt-fed ammunition, and the wheeled gun mount made it convenient for soldiers to drag it while walking.

And it has an added flash suppressor, making it suitable for night raids.

The new regiment had four Type 4 heavy machine guns, originally two in the first battalion and two in the second battalion.

There is also a captured Type 24 heavy machine gun.

The bullets are not universal and are temporarily placed at the regiment headquarters as a defensive weapon.

Suddenly adding another heavy machine gun to Zhang Dabiao was in line with Ding Wei's plan for the first battalion. It was planned to add a heavy machine gun company to the first battalion, equipped with 4 heavy machine guns.

If there is a lack of mules and horses for transportation, then we have to rely on manpower to make up for it.

More than a hundred people served these four heavy machine guns, enhancing the firepower of the first battalion.

"Captain, you are so kind to me."

Zhang Dabiao was so excited that he wanted to cry and didn't even bother to ask where the equipment came from.

Putting my hands on the heavy machine gun feels more exciting than touching a beautiful young wife.

"Two loaders, come on. Today I'm going to use this heavy machine gun to shoot through the Japanese."

Before dark, the troops completed their concealment and deployment.

Three heavy machine guns were stationed at Shibangou. In addition to the heavy machine guns, Wang Chengzhu's artillery squad also brought in infantry artillery.

This gun has participated in a battle since it was captured, and it's time to take it out and use it again tonight.

Ding Wei instructed seriously,

Different from attacking the artillery tower, this time we are attacking the Japanese armored vehicles, so we must aim carefully.

There were not many shells, so I prepared two.

Zhuzi patted his chest and guaranteed that two shells were enough to overturn the Japanese armored vehicles.

The night spreads down,

The road protection team composed of the Japanese and puppet troops patrolled along the route, and the armored vehicles were still leading the way.

There were dozens of puppet soldiers and a squad of more than a dozen Japanese devils.

The Japanese soldiers could ride horses, so except for the platoon leader who rode a horse, the rest of the puppet soldiers all ran.

This group of people walked into the ambush range carelessly.

After entering the shooting range, Ding Wei patted Zhuzi on the shoulder.

Looking at the approaching armored vehicles, Wang Chengzhu held his breath.

Zhang Dabiao opened fire first, and three heavy machine guns fired at the Japanese at the same time.

The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the ravine.

Heavy machine gun bullets clanged as they hit the armored vehicles.

At first I didn't see where the bullet came from.

The Maxim water-cooled machine gun has a much faster rate of fire than the Type 92, and its sustained firing capability is also stronger. Its bullet range and penetration both surpass the Type 92.

Zhang Dabiao personally operated the heavy machine gun and fired bullets, pouring down on the Japanese and puppet troops.

Suddenly, bursts of blood appeared.

When encountered an ambush, the Japanese immediately leaned behind the armored vehicles, while the puppet soldiers rolled on the ground to find cover.

The Japanese armored vehicles stopped, turned their machine guns and fired at the hillside.

Relying on the armor all over his body, he confidently suppressed the new group's firepower.

The bullets scattered and hit the top of the hill with a popping sound.

"Zhu Zi, is this possible?"

Wang Chengzhu used the infantry gun to aim at the armored vehicle that had stopped and was firing.

The shells whizzed out in a straight line and hit the target accurately.

The flames and roar of the explosion were heard almost at the same time.

The vehicle and the Japanese soldiers inside it were all destroyed in the explosion.

A cannonball hits the soul, but you still have to rely on the pillar at the critical moment.

There is no need to say much about the following battle, with three heavy machine guns suppressing the attack and bullets firing directly at them.

The Japanese and puppet troops were quickly strangled.

The road was stained with blood and corpses were lying there in all directions.

Soldiers from the first battalion rushed forward and stabbed the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Then they quickly cleaned up the battlefield and took away everything that could be used.

Ding Wei had high requirements for cleaning the battlefield. After the troops rushed up, they were the first to finish off the Japanese and ensure that nothing was left behind.

Afterwards, the company and platoon cadres led the team to clean up the battlefield to ensure efficiency and order.

The reputation of the Iron Broom must be established. Harvesting the battlefield requires speed and efficiency, and the reputation of Captain Ding cannot be lost.

People rush forward and sweep the battlefield like a comb. It has to be clean.

The frightened horses were also led back. The cavalry company still had a large gap. These dozen horses could form a cavalry squad.

The scrapped armored vehicle was emitting black smoke, and the Japanese soldiers on board were dead.

This iron guy can't enter the mountainous area and he weighs seven or eight tons.

The brothers couldn't drag it away, so Ding Wei stepped forward and checked the chassis and engine of the armored vehicle.

The shell hit from the front and exploded inside the vehicle, causing limited damage to the base.

Can this thing still be used after it's been repaired?

While the soldiers were withdrawing, Ding Wei put it into the space.

As the number of enemies killed increased, the space could already accommodate several hundred cubic meters. There were many weapons and equipment, plus a scrapped armored vehicle, but it still looked empty.

The sound of artillery fire alarmed the Japanese in Yun County. Captain Doi immediately asked people to contact the railway protection team, but they had already lost contact.

Sensing a bad premonition, I summoned the main force of the gendarmerie in the city and assembled a battalion of puppet troops, and quickly headed to the place where the battle broke out.

When they arrived at the battlefield, they saw only corpses lying all over the place.

The new regiment's troops have withdrawn from the ambush range.

Captain Doi inspected the scene and scratched his head in fear. Where is the armored vehicle?
