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

The cavalry company marched at a constant speed and needed to run for a while and then walk for a while in the mountainous area.

War horses also need rest.

During a normal march, the troops will move forward intermittently.

Listening to the words of the cavalry company soldiers, Ding Wei quickly interrupted.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. When did I, Ding Wei, become good at poking people in the ass?"

Sun Desheng held the horsewhip and was about to whip the guy who spoke without restraint.

"Captain Sun, our Eighth Route Army's discipline forbids abusing soldiers. What are you doing?"

"Captain,"

Realizing that he had called someone wrong, Sun Desheng immediately changed his address to "Commander".

"In the last battle with the 4th Brigade, we summed up our tactics in one sentence: cut off the head and tail and hit the butt. It's a rough saying but the truth is true."

"This time, we mobilized the cavalry company to march to the rear, which is to block the infantry, artillery, and logistics troops and stab the Japanese in the ass with guns."

It's rare for a reckless man to understand Ding Wei's deployment, which shows that he has indeed been learning during this period.

"Good understanding. Tell the cavalry company to speed up the march and find the enemy's mountain artillery squadron and capture them."

Ding Wei gritted his teeth and led the team personally to search for the location of the Japanese artillery.

The signalmen contacted the battalions and companies in a timely manner, kept them moving together, and surrounded the cavalry company.

Once the artillery positions are found, they will pounce on them like hungry wolves, destroy them, and eat them.

A muffled sound was heard from the forest; it was the sound of a mountain cannon.

Ding Wei immediately stopped the troops, stretched his ears to listen, and identified the direction of the artillery fire.

"Commander, we have discovered the enemy's mountain artillery positions, with a total of 6 mountain guns and 7 infantry guns, engaging a part of the 718th Regiment, a brother unit."

The scouts followed the source of the artillery fire and locked onto the movements of the Japanese.

Great, that's great.

Ding Wei immediately ordered the cavalry company to go out.

The war horses galloped forward, and the sound of their hooves was as dense as drumbeats.

"Notify the main force to move closer to me. Any enemy forces encountered along the way must be annihilated."

In mountain warfare, the most important thing to look at is the troops' mobile warfare capabilities, avoiding the important issues and picking the weak ones.

As long as the Japanese were not in four battalions, Ding Wei could easily control them and did not take them seriously at all.

The gunfire became more intense, and some troops exchanged fire with a small group of Japanese troops.

The sound of gunfire came from the roadside, attracting the brothers of the Fourth Military Division to move closer to the battle site.

Soldiers carrying guns shuttled through the mountains and forests, emerging from various strange routes and crashing into the battlefield.

The Japanese logistics troops and artillery squadrons were confused. Didn't they say they were going to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army? They were actually being counter-encircled and suppressed by the Eighth Route Army?

"Brothers, my cavalry company has few opportunities to fight. Charge to the front and destroy the enemy's artillery positions."

Sun Desheng took the lead and the cavalry charged down the mountain road.

The Japanese artillery panicked and fired at the hilltop.

The sound of mountain artillery and infantry artillery roared.

It can blow up large tracts of forest, but it is difficult to hit the vital points.

There were many hills and the terrain was complex, making it difficult for artillery to deploy. However, Ding Wei's troops surrounded them.

"Hurry, hurry, kill them all at once, don't give the Japs a chance to destroy the mountain artillery."

The Japanese are very smart. If they fail to fight effectively, they will prioritize destroying heavy weapons.

Ding Wei's main force kept appearing and throwing grenades at the logistics vehicles.

The impact of the explosion was so strong that the cavalry company had already rushed to the enemy's face.

Sun Desheng fired a burst of fire with a submachine gun, then drew his saber, rode his horse without stopping, and chased and slashed at the Japanese artillery.

The scene was in chaos and the sound of a charge was heard from the top of the hill.

The soldiers rushed down the hillside one after another.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Zhang Dabiao ran with a big knife in his hand, the flesh on his face shaking heavily, and rushed forward and knocked down the Japanese with one blow.

The brother unit, the 718th Regiment, also emerged on the hillside and joined in the mixed attack on the Japs.

How could the remaining logistics troops and artillery squadron possibly withstand such a fierce attack?

Especially on Ding Wei's side, a large number of submachine guns were arranged. When engaging in close combat, the firepower that erupted was particularly astonishing.

The Japs fell to the ground one after another, and were riddled with bullets.

Seeing that the Japanese wanted to blow up the mountain cannon, Sun Desheng swung out his rifle and pierced the Japanese's chest with his bayonet.

"Kill them all and protect the heavy weapons."

Captain Sun led the way, jumped off his horse, and hacked at the Japanese with his saber.

The rest of the soldiers also gathered together and stabbed the Japanese devils fiercely.

Every strike of the sword drew blood, and every strike of the bayonet drew blood.

The battlefield was quickly stained with blood, and the Japanese soldiers lay on the ground in all directions, some lying on the gun barrels, and some crawling on the ground in pain.

The soldiers who rushed over stepped on their chests, crushed their ribs with one foot, and then kicked them in the neck, sending them to death.

The 718th Regiment, led by Captain Ma, attacked from the other side, joined forces with Ding Wei's troops, and quickly wiped out this group of enemy forces.

"Are you the comrades from Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan? Great, we are comrades from Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei."

Zhang Dabiao wiped the blood off his hands, looked for his hat but couldn't find it, so he had to salute.

"Zhang Dabiao, acting commander of the New Third Regiment of the Fourth Military Sub-district, comrades, what is the situation? The main force of the Japanese is still in the mountainous area. We must not let any of them leave."

"Of course. We are fighting together. How can we let them get away?"

As Captain Ma spoke, he looked at the equipment of the brother troops. It was really luxurious.

Machine guns, grenade launchers, submachine guns and pistols.

The cadres were all armed with pistols, some even had two, and their telescopes had higher magnifications than his.

It is no exaggeration to say that they will be a strong army.

"I've heard for a long time that our brother troops are stationed in the southern mountains, but I've never had the chance to meet them. Now that we finally meet, it's really not easy."

"The Fourth Military Division is strong and capable, and we will work together to fight the Japanese invaders in the future."

Zhang Dabiao looked at his brothers, and saw that they were already cleaning up the battlefield in an orderly manner.

The troops are called the iron brooms, and they must search the battlefield as quickly as possible and get everything they want first.

Then he continued to chat with Captain Ma.

"Captain Ma, your Jin-Cha-Ji team is also good. They have done an excellent job in countering the mopping-up operations here. There is still much room for communication in the future."

The troops of both sides each conquered their own combat areas. Captain Ma was getting panicked. He got two infantry guns and a mountain gun and wanted his brothers to take them away.

Little did they know that Zhang Dabiao had obtained four mountain cannons and was thinking of taking them away while they were chatting.

Everyone tacitly plundered the battlefield and kept to themselves.

The cooperation is relatively tacit.

The Japanese were frantically supporting this place, and Ding Wei ordered the troops not to rest but to actively meet the enemy.

The brothers were well-equipped with weapons and crippled the Japanese Third Brigade, making them afraid to raid the mountainous areas.

Sun Desheng walked back quickly to report the battle results at the front.

"Commander, we have seized four mountain guns, three infantry guns, and four anti-tank guns. Regimental Commander Zhang Dabiao is arranging for them to be transferred to the headquarters."

"Well, it's worth it for all the fighting I've done. I even lost a lot of shoes."

"Arrange the cavalry company to move the artillery, and the rest of the infantry to gather at the battle site. This mountain melee has just begun, and I've only had an appetizer."

Ding Wei sent someone via radio to inform the two regiment commanders to gather their main forces and march towards the location where the gunfire was intense.

"Kong Yong, gather the reconnaissance company and follow me!"
