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

Wait a moment?

Before Ding Wei had time to be happy, he discovered the problem.

They only gave us weapons but not even a single bullet?

There were only 9 brand new DP light machine guns, and not a single bullet was seen.

The light machine gun uses 7.62x54R rifle bullets, which are hard to find in the country, let alone in mountainous areas where supplies are even more scarce.

The Soviet Union also funded a batch of Soviet weapons that could equip 20 divisions.

But most of those weapons fell into the hands of Mr. Xipi, and the Eighth Route Army got a little bit.

The water-jet rifle is a good thing.

Don't be afraid of not having ammunition and equipment, just fight a blocking battle.

If there is no sniping mission, then create one.

To the southeast of Xingjiazhuang, the Baishi Bridge on Mohe River connects Wanjia Town and Wangmu Mountain.

The Japanese were stationed in Wangmu Mountain, and the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion was stationed in Wanjia Town.

Ding Wei must get this batch of horses and equipment.

"Taozi, go get the battalion commander, Zhang Dabiao, to come over to me."

Ding Wei made some plans on the map and had just finished drawing the battle map when Zhang Dabiao came over in a hurry.

"Captain Ding, you are looking for me."

"Come and sit down. I've heard for a long time that the commander of the first battalion of the new first regiment is a fierce general. He came from the big knife team and is never vague about killing the devils. I have a task for you today. Do you dare to take it?"

Zhang Dabiao smiled slightly.

"Whether it's climbing a knife mountain or jumping into a cauldron of oil, as long as Captain Ding says so, the brothers will be considered cowards if they frown."

"It's not a matter of going through fire and water. I'll help you make a fortune."

The pencil pointed at the map and the finger gestured.

"The Imperial Army is a group of puppet troops that have become powerful. They have stationed a cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town with the best horses and equipment. It is less than 50 miles away from our base. Don't be tempted, let's go and take down them."

Wow, the new leader is also a brave guy.

Zhang Dabiao is willing to follow a bold team leader.

"Captain Ding, it's not good to mobilize troops without permission. What if the higher-ups ask about it?"

"I will make a report afterwards and send half of the battalion's horses and equipment to the brigade commander. Communications are inconvenient, so we have to deal with it in special times. If you really want to blame someone, I, Old Ding, will take the blame."

With these words, Zhang Dabiao felt much more at ease.

This kid is brave and careful, no wonder Li Yunlong likes him.

Now that it's in our hands, Old Ding, we must never let it go.

"Gather the troops now, and march 50 miles at night. Then we can bring these horses back to me."

After arranging a battalion commander, Ding Wei assigned tasks to the guard platoon.

After Taozi followed him to the New 32st Regiment, he was promoted to platoon leader of the guard platoon, which had three squads with a total of people.

We must also act at night and block the enemy near Baishi Bridge.

According to Kong Jie, a battalion could raid 50 miles and finish the battle in two hours. The New 2st Regiment was stronger than the Independent Regiment and had better equipment.

Transfer the light machine guns in the regiment to strengthen Zhang Dabiao's firepower, and the battle can be ended in one hour.

Ding Wei was going to lead the guard platoon to block the Japanese invaders on Wangmu Mountain at Baishiqiao.

After making the arrangements, Zhang Dabiao and Taozi went to prepare separately.

at night,

When it was getting dark, the guard platoon set out first, following the explored route and moving towards the destroyed Baishi Bridge.

It was a mess here, with rubble collapsing into the river.

The puppet army temporarily built two wooden poles and laid wooden boards and sandbags on them to make it easier for people to pass through.

Zhang Dabiao's battalion set out an hour later and marched straight to Wanjia Town at night.

Wanjia Town is in the occupied area.

The Eighth Route Army rarely took the initiative to attack. In most cases, it conserved its strength and passively defended.

This caused these guys to relax and never consider the possibility of being attacked.

The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not even third-rate. In a state of slackness, they have neither saddles on horses nor guns in hands.

The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment rushed over in the dark. After Zhang Dabiao assessed the situation, he was greatly shocked.

There is such a big piece of fat near the base.

More than 300 horses and equipment were wasted by this group of puppet troops.

He lowered his voice and ordered, "Captain Ding specifically instructed us not to hurt these precious war horses. Aim and shoot."

As he said this, he waved his hand and asked his brothers to move forward. Holding five grenades in their arms, they crawled towards the puppet army camp.

After climbing to the right position, he pulled the safety cord of the grenade and threw it in.

The muffled sound of the grenade explosion broke the tranquility of the town.

Immediately afterwards, the charge horn was sounded, and Zhang Dabiao took the lead and rushed into the crowd of puppet troops.

Each member of the New 1st Regiment was like a wild wolf, fighting desperately and charging forward howling.

9 Type rifles opened the way and defeated the puppet army in one encounter.

Quickly surrender your weapons, pack up your horses, confiscate your equipment, and retreat!

Zhang Dabiao was efficient and quick. After dealing with the puppet troops, he did not linger in the fight. He took the equipment and horses and retreated along the planned route.

Wanjia Town was attacked suddenly, which alarmed the Japanese on Wangmu Mountain.

Instead of attacking rashly, they first observed the situation in the artillery towers and bunkers.

Light and heavy machine guns swept down the mountain, and seeing that there were no ambush troops, the Japanese rushed out of their stronghold.

There was only one guard platoon responsible for the blocking, which arrived near Mohe River in advance and found a suitable blocking location.

Quickly build shelters and set up blocking positions.

Taozi leaned close to the head of the group, his brows drooped, and he looked miserable.

"Captain, can we stop the Japanese with only thirty broken guns and eight rounds of ammunition each?"

Ding Wei snorted coldly.

"What do you know, kid? I never fight an unprepared battle. Come with me."

After checking the blocking position, Ding Wei took Taozi to the hidden bushes on the side.

Three DP light machine guns, 3 rounds of machine gun bullets, two boxes of grenades, and 5400 rounds of rifle bullets have been placed here.

"Where did you get the ammunition? And the light machine gun?"

Taozi had never touched Dapanji before, but he saw it once at the headquarters. He immediately reached out and picked it up, and loved it so much that he couldn't let it go.

"You look so ignorant. These are all donations from people who fought in the war. Give the grenades and bullets to the comrades."

The guard was simple-minded. When he saw some good equipment, he quickly moved it over and distributed it to everyone.

The guard platoon has three squads, each with a light machine gun.

Ding Wei squatted down and instructed the three squad leaders how to fire the DP light machine gun.

200 rounds of ammunition per person for practice.

When the Japanese appear, don't worry about aiming, just shoot. When you run out of bullets, retreat.

The remaining people have 40 bullets each. Keep shooting and retreat upon command.

Make sure no casualties occur.

The rest of the ammunition was quietly collected by Ding Wei.

The Japanese soldiers on Wangmu Mountain came to support us and were moving at a fairly fast speed. As soon as they approached the ambush range of Mohe, gunshots rang out.

The guard platoon opened fire at full capacity, with three light machine guns firing towards the foot of the mountain.

The sound of the Dapanji gunshot is unique and has a special comfort quality.

There were casualties due to the fire from three light machine guns.

"Lie down and hide. They might be the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

The Japs carefully looked for a shooting position, hid behind cover, and waited for the gunfire to stop.

The old soldier touched the big plate of chicken, and after emptying the magazine, he immediately loaded a new magazine, changed his position, and fired at the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.

The bullets spun and flew.

The Japanese squadron leader hid behind the bunker and judged from the gunshots that this was definitely the main force of the Eighth Route Army, with the firepower of about a battalion.
