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

"Why? Why should Ding Wei lead the attack? He is only attacking a gun tower and two strongholds. I, Li Yunlong, can do it without guns."

Captain Li, who was indignant, stood in the room and cursed.

His independent regiment was weak and had suffered consecutive defeats, so he was just waiting for an opportunity to arm himself.

What profit can there be in fighting a blocking attack?

Even a fool knows that the Japanese and puppet troops’ supplies are all in the artillery tower.

Ding Weixin's regiment was doing very well in Yun County. They successively took out dozens of artillery towers and seized a wealth of supplies and equipment.

I drink a little wine every day and have canned food to serve me, and my life is very good.

After so much trouble a big battle finally took place, but the independent regiment ended up having to block the attack.

The new political commissar Zhao Gang and deputy regiment commander Kong Jie stood in the outer room, shaking their heads.

Political Commissar Zhao looked very unhappy. "He is the head of a regiment, but he is full of foul language and lacks ideological awareness."

"What's wrong? Did my foul language affect our fight against the Japanese? It's your turn to gossip about me behind my back."

"Assemble, assemble the troops."

Li Yunlong stared with his big eyes, like a dog that had turned against itself, refusing to recognize anyone.

Hundreds of people from the independent regiment also gathered in Songta Town with weapons and equipment.

Brigade Commander Chen has already brought the 772nd Regiment to the town to prepare for the next battle.

As soon as the signal gun sounds, all troops must rush forward and perform their duties.

"Brigade Commander, Ding Wei's new regiment has arrived."

"Let's go out and take a look at the main force of my brigade."

A small steel cannon was pushed to the front. Wang Chengzhu led the artillery squad, with horses carrying ammunition boxes, and stood at the forefront of the team.

Whether it is the main force or not, we have to use infantry artillery to support the situation first.

Ding Wei rode a white horse and marched over with his brothers.

The first battalion, the second battalion, and each company took turns arriving at the combat site.

Looking at their weapons and equipment, light and heavy machine guns, the brigade commander hummed in his heart.

This kid Ding Wei has hidden a lot of good stuff.

Where did you seize the Soviet rifles from? And you didn’t even tell me?

"Ding Wei, come here. You tell me every day that you are short of equipment and weapons. I see that you have plenty of ammunition and equipment. Get me six light machine guns to increase the firepower of the sniper."

Just six light machine guns, Ding Datuanzi didn't take it seriously.

"Why do you need to give me a word, Commander? I will send over six Type 6 rifles and 2000 rounds of ammunition."

"Tell me how much supplies you have secretly concealed. Tell me clearly."

The brigade commander was wearing a jacket and glasses, and it seemed that he had never worn this outfit for years.

When he speaks and acts, he has an unquestionable aura.

Very charming personality.

Blind Cheng from the 772nd Regiment and Captain Xu from the 771st Regiment were both there and came over to shake hands with Ding Wei.

We are all comrades under the brigade commander, and we need to cooperate more in the future.

After chatting for a while, Li Yunlong also arrived at the combat position with the independent regiment, and he himself appeared with a small group of guards.

It was as if everyone owed him money, with his face tanned and his eyes glaring.

The brigade commander did not tolerate him. Seeing that the four regiment commanders had arrived, he made temporary tactical arrangements.

"The garrisons of each stronghold on the Zhengtai Line are different. Some strongholds have strong firepower. We must fight in an orderly manner and not blindly bite nuts. Coordinate blocking and sabotage to show the power of our 386th Brigade."

"I emphasize again that this operation was ordered by the headquarters boss, and we were specifically asked to fight the first battle."

"If anyone disobeys my orders on the battlefield and makes me lose face, I will skin him alive."

As the brigade commander spoke, he looked at Li Yunlong.

Among the people present, apart from him, there was no one else who was particularly likely to cause trouble.

Kong Jie was also in the meeting sequence. As a deputy head of the delegation, he had new arrangements.

After the battle, the brigade commander prepared the backbone personnel of the New Second Regiment, and Kong Jie took over the position of commander of the New Second Regiment.

"Brigade Commander, please don't look at me. I, Li Yunlong, am the most obedient person. If you tell me to go east, I will never dare to go west."

"It's better this way. Don't feel resentful because I asked you to fight a blocking battle, right?"

"No, no, how can I do that? I must complete the mission resolutely."

In front of the brigade commander, this guy was as rude as Shunmao.

But if he doesn't do it in front of the brigade commander, no matter who is in charge, it won't work.

Ding Wei didn't pay much attention to him and was thinking about which stronghold to attack first.

The infantry gun only has 18 shells, so the best steel should be used on the blade.

Try to get one stronghold with 4 artillery shells.

After the meeting, he hurriedly took the battalion, company and platoon cadres responsible for the main attack to investigate the situation and survey the terrain, deployment and roads.

Agree on an appropriate time to attack.

The brigade commander overruled the opposition and set the date at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.

The main combat forces and blocking forces entered the combat area.

Ding Wei's goal was to attack two strongholds at the same time, one was the Lujiazhuang railway station, and the other was the Heshangzu station.

If you want to pick the soft persimmons, you have to squeeze them; if you want to pick the hard ones, you have to beat them.

The Lujiazhuang station took the lead in launching the offensive and ended the battle within an hour. After the battle, it supported the Shangzu battle.

A cannon must always be fired in a certain order.

Zhang Dabiao's first battalion focused on attacking Lujiazhuang, Gao Qing's second battalion focused on attacking Heshangzu, and the remaining companies were assigned to blockhouses along the way.

At nightfall the next day,

With the cooperation of the local people, everything is quiet.

Ding Wei personally led a battalion to the outskirts of Lujiazhuang and hid under the noses of the Japanese.

The deployment and terrain of the Lujiazhuang stronghold were understood in advance.

Get to the commanding heights and suppress the enemy's firepower with infantry artillery.

Zhang Dabiao distributed the firepower of the light and heavy machine guns in his hands and prepared for the attack.

He himself touched his hat out of habit.

Just wait for the order to attack, and start working with the flip of a hat.

The essence of the Lujiazhuang stronghold was a railway station. The Japanese built four bunkers around it and divided it with barbed wire and outer trenches. They built it according to the scale of the stronghold.

The stationed force was an infantry company, with more than 60 puppet troops and more than 40 Japanese soldiers on duty in the railway station, for a total force of more than 350 people.

A red flare broke the tranquility of the night, which was the signal of the brigade's combat order.

Two platoons of the first battalion quickly advanced forward and, under the cover of night, approached the Japanese bunker.

As Li Yunlong said, the artillery tower can be attacked even without infantry guns.

It depends on the brothers' courage to fight to the death, holding the explosives in their hands and using their flesh and blood to blow them up.

Once discovered by the Japanese, it would be a death sentence.

Ding Wei has artillery in hand, so he still wants to let his brothers try it.

After all, explosive packs have the best cost-effectiveness.

"Inform Zhuzi, if the Japanese in the bunker are alarmed, use artillery shells to extinguish the firing points and cool them down."

"Don't skimp on the shells."

The soldiers crawled forward, trying not to make any noise.

Successfully approached the bunker range.

With a loud bang, the explosive pack exploded along the outer wall of the bunker.

The soldier rolled to the side, covered in dust and dirt, and was covered by the smoke and dust from the explosion.

Searchlights were immediately raised in the silent stronghold, and the Japanese opened fire with light and heavy machine guns.

"Brothers from the first battalion, fight for me."

The firepower of the new regiment was also not bad. The shells whizzed and hit the bunkers that were firing.

Two of the four bunkers in Lujiazhuang, east, west, south and north, suddenly fell silent.

The two bunkers to the east and south were destroyed.

The new regiment attacked from the east and launched an offensive against the stronghold.
