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

The other two bunkers of the Japanese were in the north and west. The New 1st Regiment launched an offensive from the southeast, and the remaining two bunkers were useless for defensive operations.

The Japanese in the bunker had to pick up their weapons and come out to fight.

Both sides opened fire, with light and heavy machine guns sweeping the battlefield.

The soldiers of the attacking battalion should disperse as much as possible and take turns to cover each other's advance.

Mortars dropped objects from the sky, landing among the Japanese troops one after another, covering the troops' advance.

Ding Wei looked at the battlefield in the dark with a telescope. His subordinates had strong firepower, with three heavy machine guns providing cover in succession.

Bullets whizzed and flew towards the defending Japanese troops.

The sound of artillery shells whistled.

Ding Wei's first reaction was that Zhuzi was firing, but when he heard the approaching whistling sound, he instantly realized that it was the Japanese's counterattack fire.

His body instinctively fell to one side, and the sound of explosion came from the heavy machine gun firing point.

The heavy machine gunner was killed on the spot.

The assistant machine gunner shook his head to clear the dust above his head, continued to hold the machine gun and shoot forward, taking over the heavy machine gun position.

"Zhu Zi, hit their firing point for me."

Infantry guns and mortars all opened fire, and Ding Wei was even a little excited.

There was actually an infantry gun inside the Lujiazhuang stronghold.

Zhang Dabiao also became excited. He picked up a big knife and rushed forward with all the reserve troops of the battalion.

We must capture the stronghold and kill all the devils.

The shells whistled and fell one after another.

Eight mortar shells hit the Japanese on the head almost at the same time.

The two infantry guns exchanged fire.

You attack my firepower point, and I'll attack your heavy machine gun.

To the Japanese's dismay, they discovered that the attacking force's firepower seemed to be stronger than theirs.

As they approached the outskirts of the stronghold, they opened fire with grenades and grenade launchers.

Throw projectiles into the defensive circle.

The soldiers blew up the wall and rushed into the stronghold to fight.

Zhang Dabiao clearly joined the battle later, but he was the first to rush in front of the Japanese.

He faced the Japanese with a machete and opened his mouth wide, shouting "Kill!"

"kill!"

The assault teams of the first battalion all drew their bayonets and charged forward following the battalion commander.

The sword drew blood and broke through the defending Japanese soldiers.

More and more soldiers rushed in, and two light machine gunners climbed up the wall, holding DP big plate chicken and firing.

Bullets flew, sweeping across the Japanese squadron.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most brutal, but it is also the fastest way to end a fight.

The Eighth Route Army was very strong in hand-to-hand combat skills. The troops, which were short of guns and ammunition, attached particular importance to hand-to-hand combat training, even more than the Japanese did.

But their equipment was really backward. They had no bayonets or other weapons, so they could only rely on forged swords to fight the Japs.

The new regiment was much better. Everyone in the assault team wore a bayonet, and some even carried javelins.

This thing is an inch longer and an inch stronger.

It was similar to an ancient spear, more than two meters long, far longer than the Type 38 rifle. Holding it in the hand, it poked towards the enemy's head.

When they rushed up, they immediately taught the Japanese a lesson.

Let them know that when it comes to bayonet fighting, we are the ancestors of the little notebooks.

Close combat, night combat, and hand-to-hand combat are the magic weapons the Eighth Route Army developed to defeat the enemy due to its backward weapons and equipment.

Ding Wei rushed forward with the guard troops, firing continuously from his pistol and eliminating the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Until the last group of Japanese soldiers had no way to retreat and were shot to death by a volley of bullets.

The battle ended quickly, and the first battalion completed the annihilation battle in the stronghold with absolute advantage.

Zhang Dabiao was as active as Ding Wei. He rummaged around inside and found the location of the infantry gun.

"Captain, there's another cannon, and there are 47 shells left."

"Okay, quickly arrange for the brothers to clean up the battlefield. I will take the artillery to support the Second Battalion and attack the Monk's Foot stronghold."

The battle here ended within an hour as expected.

But the battle on Shangzu's side was in a stalemate.

Gao Qing's two waves of attacks were resolved by the Japanese firepower. The brothers who rushed forward were shot back by light and heavy machine guns, and more than 30 people were lost.

If a forceful attack is launched without firepower cover, the enemy will inevitably be hit by the garrison's firepower.

Ding Wei came with supporting firepower,

First, let the signalman notify the 2nd Battalion in advance that Wang Chengzhu's artillery team has arrived at the combat site.

A suitable small hill was found, and the shells could reach the stronghold.

"Bring up all the mortar shells. We are going to have to wait until the day comes. Suppress the defenders. Use the infantry artillery to knock out all defensive firepower."

The guns roared and the covering artillery fire landed.

The battle immediately became different.

"Brothers, the regiment commander has brought reinforcements. The first battalion has already captured Lujia Village. Our second battalion cannot lose face. Charge forward with me!"

Gao Qing ordered his men to blow the horn of attack.

The Japanese heavy machine guns fired continuously, and artillery shells bombarded the Type 92 machine gun positions.

The direct-fire infantry guns emitted flashes of fire, followed by explosions.

The heavy machine gun that had been firing continuously suddenly fell silent.

The sound of artillery fire alarmed the garrisons along the line, who tried to get out of their strongholds to support the monks in the battle.

As soon as they appeared, they encountered the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops.

The sound of gunfire spread along the railway line.

The 771st Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and their affiliated county battalions, district squads, militia and other forces were also all involved in the battle.

There are also local people who actively join in.

Dig up the rails and remove the barbed wire.

The goal is to capture all train stations without leaving any section of track or any bridge behind.

The blocking and auxiliary attack missions were carried out smoothly, making it difficult for the Japanese invaders' support troops to provide rapid support via the railway.

Ding Wei's attack was also very smooth. Just one infantry gun was enough to threaten the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold.

After the Type 92 heavy machine gun was silenced by two artillery shells, the Japanese also felt the crisis.

I tried to call for support, but found that the phone line had been cut off.

Use the military radio to keep calling for reinforcements.

The headquarters of the 800th Brigade was in Yangquan. The Lion's Head Mountain and the railway line to the west were occupied by the Eighth Route Army, who used a mortar to bombard the defenders in the city.

In the western direction of Yuci, the 771st and 772nd Regiments also launched blocking operations.

The railway and bridge between Yuci and Shouyang were destroyed.

Cover the new regiment to capture the stronghold.

It was impossible for the Japanese army to support the Heshangzu stronghold in a short period of time, but Ding Wei did not need much time. He had to use full firepower to attack and end the battle within an hour.

Under the cover of infantry artillery and mortars, the Japanese light and heavy machine gun firepower was targeted.

The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion took the opportunity to advance.

The assault team used grenades to blast and kill the enemy, and rushed to the front of the team with a fearless attitude.

Blow up the wall, charge into the stronghold, the end of the Japanese devils has come.

The attack was quick and efficient, with firepower providing cover. The assault team approached and poured into the stronghold in a wave, engaging in a bloody battle with the Japanese.

Zhang Dabiao's battalion came to support and marched to the battlefield at a rapid pace. Without any rest, the soldiers quickly engaged in battle.

It was a crushing move, which frightened the Japanese soldiers.

"Signalman, pass the message to the brigade headquarters. My new regiment has captured the target stronghold. Next, command the team to demolish the train station and water tower, blow up the bridge, break the railway, and remove the railroad tracks. It is expected to withdraw from the battle before dawn."

"Notify all battalions and companies to quickly annihilate the enemy."

"Notify Deputy Head Zhong to arrange for the masses and militia to do great things."

For Ding Wei, attacking the two strongholds was nothing more than using infantry artillery to open a path and break through the enemy's fortifications.

The only harvest was the Japanese weapons in the stronghold.

The real big deal is blowing up the bridge. Blowing up the railway bridge will bring much greater benefits than destroying the highway.
