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

Gounan Township fought a blocking battle, and after the Japanese invaders retreated, the blocking fortifications were retained.

Zhang Dabiao's new third regiment took advantage of the opportunity to score twice.

In the past, the Japanese army’s battalion-level forces could charge into the mountains and ignore the resistance of the Eighth Route Army.

But now it’s different, the New Third Regiment is interested in eating it up.

Ding Wei’s military sub-district-affiliated troops, the reconnaissance company and the cavalry company are also nearby, as well as the artifact of the Artillery God Pillar.

Bringing 120 ammunition to help.

Even if we can't eat up all of them, we can eat up most of their forces with minimal losses.

Fighting from a high vantage point, the view is very comfortable.

The mortar weighing about 500 pounds was pulled by draft horses to the middle of the mountain and fired directly at a flat area on the hillside.

The shells flew over the hill and fell almost vertically towards the center of the Japanese army.

The high-explosive shells exploded, and from a distance, it was a feast for the eyes.

Zhang Dabiao ordered to open fire, and the ambushing soldiers opened fire one after another.

Bullets poured down from the fortifications, causing over a hundred casualties to the Japanese brigade in one wave.

The captain cursed in his heart and had already told the new major general that the Fourth Military Division would be difficult to fight.

We were repeatedly warned not to divide our forces, but he simply refused to listen.

Not only did he refuse to listen, he also arranged for the infantry battalion to fight separately.

The Eighth Route Army occupied the advantageous terrain and had the support of artillery. It would be impossible for a single battalion to break through.

"Report to the general, my unit has encountered the main force of the Fourth Military Division and urgently needs military support."

The Japanese retreated 5 miles in disgrace and waited for reinforcements to arrive at the intersection leading into the mountain.

Seeing the Japanese retreat, they immediately cleaned up the battlefield.

A small number of troops were left behind, while heavy weapons began to be withdrawn into the mountains in advance.

Major General Yamada redeployed the three battalions in the north and concentrated their forces to attack Gounan Township.

Landmines, roadblocks, guerrilla warfare, and surprise attacks were all used on him.

By the time the four battalions occupied Gounan Township, Zhang Dabiao had completely retreated into the mountainous area while fighting.

The two sides always maintained a distance of three to five kilometers, with the enemy advancing and us retreating.

Use the radio to notify the guerrillas in the northern three towns and launch a new raid on the mountain stronghold.

The guerrilla brigade also has a large number of troops, equipped with heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and other rifles and light machine guns.

It is a bit difficult to deal with the main force of the devil brigade, but it is naturally no problem to deal with the puppet army, the Imperial Army, and even small groups of Japanese troops.

The three northern towns are in danger, and the strongholds in the mountains are in jeopardy.

The puppet army liked to exaggerate their descriptions, saying that they were besieged by 7,000 to 8,000 troops and that there were sounds of gunfire all around.

"Asshole, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is in Gounan Township. Where did they get seven or eight thousand people to besiege Yangbai Township?"

The subordinates came hurriedly to report that four infantry battalions had gathered in Gounan Township.

Gao Qing's new regiment once again attacked towards Dongye Town.

This time, the Eighth Route Army brought two mountain cannons and bombarded the stronghold from more than 4000 meters on the top of the mountain.

Shells fell, destroying the fragile masonry structure.

Among the Japanese soldiers stationed in the stronghold, 13 were crushed to death and 27 were injured by the collapsed bricks and stones.

Major General Yamada was so angry that he tore the papers on the table into pieces.

I want to scream out "Ahhhh".

"Tell me, tell me, what should we do? What should we do?"

He had just taken over the 3rd Independent Brigade and was attacked by Ding Wei's troops before he could even recognize the faces of his subordinates.

A single battalion-level force would not have an advantage against the two main regiments of the Fourth Military Sub-district.

There were also three guerrilla groups roaming around in the north, constantly attacking artillery towers and strongholds.

This group of people are proficient in guerrilla tactics and are very skilled in the art of retreating when the enemy advances.

The troops were quickly divided into two groups, with two infantry battalions deployed in Gounan Township and Dongye Town respectively, and one infantry battalion deployed in the three northern towns to maintain mobility.

The three infantry companies were stationed in Yangbai Township, Donglei Township and Rucun Township respectively.

Very good, very good, the Japanese major general found a way to slow down the enemy.

In just a local county town, the entire main force of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade was stationed there.

Ding Wei ordered all units to maintain the harassment.

They used sharpshooters to shoot from behind and targeted the Japanese in the stronghold, specifically picking on them when they went out to urinate.

He has 600 water-repeating rifles with scopes, and can train many sharpshooters.

Arrange the second-line reserve troops to build temporary individual defensive fortifications in the mountainous areas.

Be prepared for the Japanese invaders to suddenly advance and attack the mountainous areas.

The vast mountainous area from the southeast of Wutai to Yu County is all under the control of the Fourth Military Sub-district.

Zhong Zhicheng led four guerrilla battalions to the northern mountainous area of ​​Yun County to fight guerrilla warfare, and at the same time developed local people, recruits and militia.

The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade had too many wounded soldiers and temporarily lost interest in mopping up the northern mountainous areas.

The artillery towers and strongholds here were also completely removed and could not be rebuilt in a short period of time.

Take stock of the gains from the five-town blocking operation.

[Five towns blocked the enemy, mobilizing more than 4000 troops and obtaining ammunition, including 80 rounds of bullets for various types of firearms, 200 boxes of grenades, 300 mines, 80 kilograms of explosives, 200 boxes of mortar shells, and rounds of mountain artillery shells.]

[310 spare Type 5 rifles, 2 Czech light machine guns, 30 water-cooled heavy machine guns, 10 rounds of ammunition; 82 grenade launchers, 1 mm mortar, and a number of spare parts for firearms and artillery.]

The spare parts arrived just in time, and the weapons and equipment of the Japanese and puppet troops were seized.

Some rifles need to be cleaned and maintained, and after replacing parts they can be used by militiamen and recruits.

Ding Wei was also very concerned about the issue of expanding the military and gave full authority to Zhong Zhicheng.

As long as he takes out guns and bullets, Zhong Zhicheng can recruit soldiers.

Relying solely on the captured rifles, they took out several hundred Type 38 rifles and recruited three new guerrilla battalions in the Yun County area.

Currently, the military sub-district has 7 guerrilla battalions, which are fully staffed as reserve battalion-level teams.

With the weapons and equipment seized this time, it will be no problem to raise four more guerrilla battalions.

Recruiting and training new soldiers are carried out simultaneously.

It will not hinder the combat situation in Wutai County area.

The main force of the Fourth Military Division was always roaming around the mountains, stimulating the Third Brigade.

This was the first time that the Japanese encountered the tactic of shooting from behind.

In previous battles, the Eighth Route Army had backward weapons and equipment, and was short of bullets, so they could only fire two shots and then engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Use more night raid strategies to reduce bullet consumption.

Not to mention the Nationalist Army, most of the troops were defeated in one charge.

The Zhongzheng and Hanyang rifles they had could not compare with the Type 38 rifle in terms of accuracy.

Only Ding Wei took out a water-repeating rifle with a scope.

These people hid in hidden places and could lie in the cracks of rocks all night long, waiting for dawn and suddenly opening fire when the Japanese went out to urinate or defecate.

The bullet penetrated the devil's forehead and he sat directly in a pool of filth.

The other Japanese soldiers didn't even have time to pull up their pants and ran away in panic.

Gunshots rang out continuously, quickly and efficiently, killing five Japanese devils.

After finishing the job, the sniper colleague withdrew.

There was blood on the ground, and five beasts were lying there with their pants half stripped off.

The Japanese captain and major were alarmed and they arranged troops to search the shooting site, but they didn't even find a bullet shell.

This problem is not only encountered in Dongye Town, but also in several other strongholds such as Gounan Township.

When I was queuing to use the toilet earlier, I was sniped repeatedly by ambushed soldiers. The shots were very accurate and almost all of them were shot in the head.

The Japs had to change their strategy and proactively deploy sentinels to patrol the mountains and forests.

Soldiers are required not to solve physiological problems in the same place.

You can solve the problem by hiding in the room or in a safe corner.
