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

Wanjia Town is the garrison of the Yoshino Battalion, with few garrison troops and a large amount of stored supplies.

Sun Desheng cut the rope and found that the material warehouse was well preserved.

He immediately arranged for the brothers to clean up and reorganize the defense with the weapons left behind by the Japanese in Wanjia Town.

The cavalry company attacked quickly and ended the battle quickly, leaving no chance for the Yoshino Battalion to provide support.

The brothers from the 1st and 2nd Battalions marched all night without taking a rest and charged into the battlefield.

Wang Tao led the 3rd Battalion to guard the place for a whole day, and his heart was full of anger. When he saw his brothers coming to reinforce, he immediately took a high position.

"Brothers, the brothers from the first and second battalions are here. Follow me, charge up and kill these devils."

The three main battalions of the New 1st Regiment joined the battle and took the initiative to charge towards the Yoshino Battalion.

The soldiers were like tigers descending from the mountains, and under the cover of night, they attacked the Japanese.

Several heavy machine guns opened fire, sweeping down from the top of the hillside to cover the team's attack.

The leading group of people got the PPD-40 submachine gun, which was fed by a 71-round detachable drum magazine. Its firepower was very fierce in their hands.

All I heard was the continuous sound of gunfire.

Jiro Yoshino turned around in a hurry. Gunshots came from all directions. His Yoshino Battalion was surrounded by the Shinichi Regiment.

"Break out immediately in the direction of Yu County."

The infantry battalion concentrated its firepower and charged towards the southeast.

Ding Wei sneered and asked, what were you doing so far?

At that time, the Third Battalion was blocking the enemy here, so if the Japanese took a detour, it would be easy for them to retreat to Yu County.

Now the supporting forces from the first and second battalions have arrived and completed the encirclement.

Isn't it a bit late to break out and escape now?

Is it clear that the sky is shining brightly?

It's almost dawn, did you run away?

The battle was like a wave of defeat. The firepower of the new regiment was fierce and the morale of the soldiers was high.

They fought bravely and moved forward courageously.

In the Yangquan direction, the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade and the th Brigade received urgent orders and immediately approached the northern Yu County area to support the Yoshino Battalion.

The unit encountered an encirclement and suppression operation by a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the situation was quite dangerous.

The two brigade commanders were confused.

Being surrounded and suppressed by a regiment of troops? This is a bit surprising.

The infantry battalion was targeting a division of the Chinese Army and dared to launch an attack on a division of the National Army.

Now tell them that the Yoshino Battalion was besieged by a regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

I can't help but have a big question mark in my mind.

What kind of Eighth Route Army dares to confront the Yoshino Battalion head-on with only a regiment of a few thousand men?

They have such a small number of broken guns and only three bullets per person on average. Isn't this courting death?

"Reporting to the brigade commander, it's the new regiment."

The brigade commander, Dong Kawamura, was immediately furious. "Is it the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that killed my Yamazaki Battalion?"

"That's the unit."

The Japanese major general frowned, no longer doubting the dangerous situation of the Yoshino Battalion. He ordered the large force to assemble immediately and advance 50 kilometers towards Yun County.

The 8th Brigade, which was responsible for covering the observation group, was also hastily mobilized and marched towards Peking University.

In order to support the Yoshino Battalion, the Japanese took great action and mobilized two brigades with 5000 troops each.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters was alarmed.

I suspected what these devils were up to, as they had penetrated forty or fifty kilometers into our base.

Ding Wei made moves in Yu County, attracting some of the Japanese army's attention. But his main focus was still on performance, setting the stage for the special forces.

Yoshio Shinozuka was really patient. Even though he was surrounded with a battalion-level force, he not only did not stop the performance, but also specifically instructed the observation group to continue with the itinerary.

Hattori Naoomi sat in the car, holding the general's sword with one hand, and was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the First Army.

There are mountains all around, and it's unclear what we are asking them to observe.

Could it be that he was watching the First Army soldiers directing road traffic?

See how they have a guard post every five steps?

"There are gunshots coming from the north. There is a fierce battle there, but General Shinozuka told us to continue heading west. I really don't understand what the so-called special forces did to make the lieutenant general of my empire trust this small force."

Hattori Naoomi was very dissatisfied. He came here to observe security operations, not to visit brothels in the mountains.

The car stopped at the Huting stronghold, where hundreds of Japanese soldiers were stationed. These Japanese soldiers were elite troops who were selected to ensure the safety of the entire combat observation.

At this time, a group of people were hiding on the distant hillside.

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei, who came to learn the Eighth Route Army's combat tactics, were both there.

Commander Li wanted to show his combat skills to the commander of the friendly army, so he took a battalion of soldiers and ambushed the enemy on the route they had to take.

"Brother Yunlong, the main forces of the two Japanese brigades are moving northward. That is the defense area of ​​the New 1st Regiment. Your old unit is doing something big."

Chu Yunfei put down the telescope. He didn't think that he could achieve any results from an ambush in this remote place.

The mission of his independent regiment is to guard the headquarters. Drawing out the main force of a battalion to set an ambush, isn't this acting against orders?

Moreover, all the Japanese soldiers heading towards the Huting stronghold were wearing leather shoes, which makes sense.

By 1936, the Japanese were facing great logistical pressure. Except for veterans and the Kwantung Army, all new recruits were equipped with rubber shoes.

The Kwantung Army was the elite among the Japanese invaders, and the veterans were also very capable fighters.

There are more than 500 Japanese veterans in the Huting stronghold. Can they be eaten up by the more than people in the independent regiment?

Chu Yunfei was not optimistic, but Li Yunlong was quite interested.

I decided to continue hiding and see if I could get something big.

The battlefield requires some ingenuity and a bit of smart sense of smell.

Judging from Mr. Li’s many years of experience, this path will surely bring great rewards.

As expected, after taking a short rest at the Totori stronghold, Hattori Naoomi and others continued to drive forward by car.

Passing by the ambush site of the Independent Regiment, the group charged forward in a condescending manner.

They threw grenades to detonate the car, and then used light and heavy firepower to cover their charge into the officers' observation group.

With a major general and six colonels, Li Yunlong made a fortune.

The strange thing is that the Japanese had to organize an officers observation group. The convoy was full of young officers who came to observe the combat, but their combat effectiveness was actually not as good as that of ordinary soldiers.

There were not enough weapons and equipment, most of them were carrying command knives and pistols.

It was difficult to resist the fierce and ferocious independent regiment.

In the northern part of Yu County, Ding Wei was making every effort to annihilate the Yoshino Battalion, and the scouts reported the situation of the enemy reinforcements.

The troops of the two brigades are approaching the battle site, and the battle must be ended quickly.

Immediately afterwards, news came that two Japanese brigades were hastily retreating.

It seems that there is a big problem in the direction of Huting stronghold.

Ding Wei immediately guessed that it was Li Yunlong who was causing trouble. He must have ambushed the observation group, causing the Japanese to have no time to rescue Yoshino Jiro.

Jiro Yoshino is only a lieutenant colonel, but there is a major general on the observation group.

The Japanese can judge exactly what is more important.

"Okay, someone will cover for us. Let's concentrate and take down the Yoshino Battalion."

"Tell Wang Chengzhu to attack with artillery shells and break the last line of defense of the Yoshino Battalion."

Without having to worry about the two brigades coming to attack, Ding Wei had enough time and energy to have a big meal.

Mortars and infantry guns fired fiercely, targeting the heavy machine gun fire points.

The soldiers of the three battalions launched a final round of fierce attacks, broke the defense line of the Yoshino Battalion in one fell swoop, and rushed forward to slaughter the remaining Japanese troops.

The Yoshino Battalion was destroyed at the cost of 216 casualties.
