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

The Japanese squad consisted of only 54 people, and including the squadron leader Ichiro Ono, there were only 55 people in total.

Under the fire of light machine guns, the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Ding Wei led two platoons of soldiers and surrounded them from behind, firing the Mauser pistol in his hand as if it were a submachine gun.

The Japanese were attacked from both sides, and the heavy machine guns on the hilltop could hardly radiate their attack.

There was only one infantry gun, firing towards the edge of the battlefield to cover Ono Ichiro's retreat.

All the Japanese troops in the squad tried their best to break out to the position covered by the infantry artillery.

Zhang Dabiao took the light machine gun from his brother and fired at the retreating Japanese. This guy had very steady hands.

The DP light machine gun is not suitable for mobile combat because its center of gravity is forward, but in his hands, it can achieve a strafing effect.

The Japanese soldiers were either dead or wounded, and they were crawling towards Wangmu Mountain.

Under the desperate resistance of his men, Ichiro Ono fled back to the Wangmu Mountain area in a panic with seven people.

If it weren't for the bunkers and watchtowers on the mountain, Ding Wei would have wiped them all out no matter what.

There was a trail of blood along the way, with Japanese soldiers lying on the ground in various states of death.

The brothers who caught up with them picked up the Type 38 rifles and stabbed the Japanese in the chest with bayonets, making sure that every one of them was dead, and then gave them a light blow.

"Clean up the battlefield, don't linger in the battle."

Zhang Dabiao shouted with a strong voice, and chopped off the head of the still struggling Japanese soldier with a knife.

The head rolled out for a distance, and the blood on the neck merged with the ground.

The discipline clearly states that prisoners should be treated kindly. Dead Japanese soldiers are not considered prisoners, and he didn't cry out for surrender.

The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment skillfully looted the bodies of the Japanese devils, leaving behind their helmets, clothes, and boots, until they were completely naked.

The bullets, cigarettes and water bottles they had on them were also taken away.

The company commander, platoon leader and others counted the team's casualties and found 17 injured and 2 killed.

62 Japanese soldiers were killed.

Looking back at Wangmu Mountain, the Japanese soldiers on the top of the mountain never came down to support us, what a pity.

In order to avoid attracting a large number of Japanese troops to retaliate, we must move as quickly as possible.

Ding Wei reviewed the situation and ordered:

"Zhang Dabiao, arrange for a group of brothers to take the captured supplies and the wounded and evacuate first. Inform Deputy Commander Zhong to be ready to bring a large force to support at any time."

"Sun Desheng, have your cavalry spread out to scout and see if any reinforcements from the Japs are coming."

"The rest of the personnel, immediately prepare for the next round of blocking battles and plant mines along the way."

Landmines, didn’t you bring any landmines with you when you came?

You didn't bring any mines, but I, Ding, did. I just placed it in a hidden place in front.

There were more than 20 mines, and his men were arranged to bury them along the way.

The war horses scattered and went to investigate in the distance.

Ding Wei still couldn't bear to leave the infantry artillery on the mountain. If no Japanese reinforcements arrived, he could pretend to retreat and continue to ambush and score twice.

The brothers were quite excited and dug out handfuls of bullets from the Japanese.

Each Japanese soldier had two standard ammunition boxes on his belt, each holding 30 rounds of bullets, for easy access when shooting.

Some of them also wear bullet boxes on their backs, which contain 60 rounds of bullets.

An average soldier carries a maximum of 125 rounds of ammunition.

The battle between the two sides was quick and decisive, and the Japanese did not have many opportunities to shoot, so most of the bullets fell into the hands of the New 1st Regiment.

62 Japanese soldiers contributed 1 grenade launcher, 50 Type 2 rifles, 5000 Type 2400 rifles, more than 40 rifle bullets, machine gun bullets, and more than grenades.

It can be said that the spoils were rich.

In addition, Ding Wei fought this blocking battle and gained an ammunition bonus alone.

I actually got 20 brand new repeater rifles (Mosin-Nagant M1891/30) with folding bayonets.

3000 rounds of rifle bullets, 8000 rounds of machine gun bullets, 5 boxes of grenades, 30 mines, 2 boxes of mortar shells (8 pieces), 5 boxes of military supplies (raincoats, engineering tools, medical kits, tarpaulins, barbed wire, etc.).

At least I can find a way.

It seems that the scale of the blocking war affects the amount of the reward.

At the beginning, he single-handedly blocked a dozen puppet soldiers and got a Mauser pistol and 600 rounds of bullets.

Today I led a company to block a Japanese squad and obtained spare rifles, rifle bullets, machine gun bullets, grenades, mines, etc.

There are also military supplies used in the blocking war.

If you lead a regiment to fight a blocking battle, how much reward will you get?

If you lead a division to fight a blocking battle in the future, won’t you be able to take off?

Suddenly he felt that his future was bright, and Ding Wei couldn't stop feeling happy.

After running back to Wangmu Mountain, the Japanese squadron leader Ichiro Ono immediately sent a telegram to the military police stationed in the county town, saying that his troops had been ambushed by unknown Eighth Route Army troops and needed reinforcements.

The Japanese army immediately organized all the forces of the gendarmerie, plus a battalion of puppet troops, to rush to Wanjia Town for support.

The enemy's reinforcements are coming. Should we abandon the Wangmu Mountain artillery tower and wait for another chance to fight?

Ding Wei sneered. Now that he had set his sights on Wangmu Mountain, he must not give up easily.

It was a time when the Japanese were short of water, and it would be difficult to get it again if you missed it.

There is no water on the mountain. The Japanese can go without food for a day or two, so how can they go without water?

The current difficulty is to block the incoming reinforcements.

It was simply arrogant to attack the Japanese artillery tower so openly.

It's more like a fly in a toilet, just looking for shit (death).

No regimental commander or even brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army would have such an idea.

But Ding Wei wanted to give it a try and dance on the edge of a knife.

With the combat effectiveness of the New 1st Regiment and the gains from these two blocking operations, the ammunition was relatively abundant, more abundant than any other regiment.

What's more, his greatest reliance lies in the random material bonus in the blocking battle.

The Japanese underestimated the military strength near Wanjia Town and would not send too many troops, with a battalion at most.

It's just a matter of blocking the enemy and delaying support, the difficulty is controllable.

I immediately remembered my famous quote,

He ordered Zhang Dabiao: "Arrange people to blow up all the bridges along the way, divide the troops into echelons to block the enemy, lay mines, and notify the villagers along the way to take shelter."

"Signalman, notify the New 1st Regiment to assemble immediately and report the enemy situation to the brigade headquarters. The Japanese military police battalion is sweeping near our garrison. Request troops to stop them, repel the invading enemy, and protect the villagers in the garrison from evacuation."

More than 60 Japanese soldiers were killed in Wangmu Mountain. Once the New st Regiment withdrew, the nearby villagers would suffer crazy revenge from the Japanese.

These beasts are inhumane. They burn, kill and loot without blinking an eye.

Ding Wei cannot shirk his responsibility for them, and he must not bring trouble to innocent people. Otherwise, how can he be true to his conscience and to the weapons in his hands?

The signalman rode his horse at full speed to convey the order to all units of the New 1st Regiment. Except for those who were recovering from the wounded, all soldiers who were able to fight returned to the team.

Including the brothers in the kitchen squad, all those who could hold guns were mobilized.

Two horses were arranged separately to run to the brigade headquarters to report the situation in Wanjia Town. The Japanese were coming in full force and the New 1st Regiment had to fight.

After receiving the news, the brigade commander looked at the map near Xingjiazhuang and angrily slammed his belt on the table.

"I knew this matter was not over. After we seized the horses from Wanjia Town, the Japanese immediately swept here."

"They really treated my 386th Brigade as a soft persimmon. They ordered Ding Weixin's regiment to block the way and cover the transfer of the masses."
