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

"Report, Zhang Dabiao, acting commander of the New Third Regiment, reports in."

Ding Wei asked him to come in.

First take out the two documents and hand them to Zhang Dabiao.

The division headquarters issued a new appointment notice, removing the word "acting" from Zhang Dabiao and Gao Qing's names, and officially appointing them as the commanders of the New 1st and New 3rd Regiments.

I hope comrades will continue to work hard.

"Thank you, Commander, for the promotion."

Da Biao was holding the appointment letter, and the dimples on his face could not be hidden at all.

Regardless of whether they were promoted or not, the two powerful generals under Ding Wei did save him a lot of energy.

Gao Qing and Zhang Dabiao are both people who refuse to submit to anyone, and the soldiers they lead are also very tough.

Dare to charge the Japanese mixed brigade and dare to stab these beasts with bayonets.

"Da Biao, the Japanese are coming aggressively, what do you think?"

On the map, Ding Wei marked the attack routes of three groups of Japanese troops.

And the troop deployment of the Fourth Military Division.

Offense and Defense

The Japanese obviously knew the situation of Ding Wei's main force division. The attack direction of the infantry regiment and the mixed brigade was the southeast of Wutai County.

The two forces combined to separate the main force of the military division from the mountain guerrilla brigade.

The north is mountainous and difficult to move.

The troops from Gang County, the 9th Brigade, and the Gangshan Regiment can be assembled to lock the 4th Military Sub-district firmly near Hongdao Town and Dongye Town.

The 9th Mixed Brigade's offensive was quite fierce. After clearing out the guerrilla forces in the plains, they were gathering forces to attack Hongdao Town.

The Gangshan Brigade entered the mountainous area from the Fuping Highway. According to the current marching speed, it would take two days to reach the battlefield and overthrow Ding Wei's defense area from the rear.

In any case, the Okayama Regiment will not be allowed to pass through the mountainous area smoothly.

Zhong Zhicheng was leading his comrades towards Fuping when a small group of guerrillas and militia spontaneously joined the battle and harassed the Japanese army.

Colonel Okayama was thin and taller than ordinary soldiers, about 1.7 meters tall.

This makes him stand out among the Japanese troops.

The sporadic gunfire did not affect the regiment's progress.

There were two squads in the front, responsible for scouting the way. But the sound of gunfire became more and more frequent.

The infantry squad suffered casualties.

As more guerrillas joined, the Japanese squad's casualties increased.

The two Japanese soldiers originally wanted to search the mountain village ahead, but as soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they were shot dead by the ambushing militia.

Another Japanese soldier was about to run away when he was shot again.

The militia uncle, who was born a hunter, had good marksmanship and was not afraid at all when killing the Japanese soldiers. He just killed two mad wolves.

The infantry squad responsible for reconnaissance encountered multiple militias and guerrillas, who were lurking in hidden places and shooting at the Japanese.

This group of people were holding old rifles, Type 38 rifles, and some were holding javelins and spikes.

Two or three people used one gun, selected those with good marksmanship, and launched a sneak attack on the Japanese.

Kong Yong led the reconnaissance company to the mountainous area.

It was discovered that the guerrillas and militiamen who had spontaneously gathered together had reached several hundred people, and were fighting in the mountainous areas and harassing the Japanese troops.

The reconnaissance company is a force directly under the military region, has the strongest combat effectiveness, and immediately becomes a cutting-edge force.

The second reconnaissance company, guerrillas and militias were combined to occupy favorable terrain and start defense. They took the initiative to meet the enemy, harass and attack.

The reconnaissance company was led by Kong Yong, and all of their soldiers changed into Japanese military uniforms.

This group of people was very wild and approached the Okayama Unit in a swaggering manner when it was dark.

The organization of the regiment is very standard, and the weapons and equipment it is equipped with are only more but not less.

The standard personnel of the Okayama Regiment is three infantry battalions, each with 1091 men, equipped with an artillery squadron with regimental artillery.

A regiment of more than 3,000 people was definitely not huddled together, but was divided into the front, middle, rear, and regiment headquarters.

Kong Yong's reconnaissance company took advantage of the cover of night and entered the enemy's ranks.

There were many Japanese soldiers resting in the valley, sitting down on the ground or leaning against the side and dozing off.

Sergeants and lieutenants could lie down in the carriage and take a deep sleep.

Kong Yong was also very brave. He led a platoon of about thirty people and passed through the crowd of Japanese invaders.

The Japanese soldier turned over in his sleep, glanced at them sideways, and mistook them for a squad coming for a rotation.

He mumbled a few words, then turned over and fell asleep again.

He had already placed his hand on the handle of the pistol, and seeing that the enemy had fallen asleep, he continued to move forward.

We finally got in. What's the point of killing a few small fry? At least we should find the battalion or regiment headquarters.

Summer nights are not as dark as winter nights. The stars are hanging in the sky, making the mountain roads clearly visible.

Reconnaissance platoon leader Li Erniu gently pulled the corner of Kong Yong's clothes and pointed to the ravine in the distance where there were flashes of lightning.

Colonel Okayama couldn't sleep, so he turned on the marching lamp and looked at the map to determine the position of the troops.

If we march quickly tomorrow, we will be able to reach the core of the Fourth Military Division. We can cooperate with the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade to attack the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Kong Yong made up his mind and was ready to die together with the Japanese.

He whispered, "Comrades, get ready for battle. We have caught a big fish."

He took the lead himself and strode towards Colonel Okayama's tent.

Noticing a group of soldiers approaching, Colonel Okayama raised his head sharply, "Who, which unit is there?"

"I am the reconnaissance company commander of the 4th Military Division of the Eighth Route Army, and I have come to take your life."

He drew his gun and fired decisively. The two sides were about thirty meters apart. He fired bursts of bullets from the pistol, emptying the magazine directly.

The gunshots alarmed the Japanese soldiers, and they all got up from the ground.

The other comrades drew their guns and shot at the confused Japanese soldiers.

Two submachine guns were in front, firing rapidly.

The Japanese soldier who turned over was unable to react in time and was shot dead cleanly.

Kong Yong walked forward and picked up the other officer's knife, not sure which Japanese officer this was.

Roll up the map and stuff it into your bag.

The gunshots alarmed the resting Japanese invaders, and they all rushed towards the regiment headquarters.

The brothers of the reconnaissance company dug out grenades from the Japanese soldiers and threw them into the ravine on the side.

The sound of grenades exploding continuously blew up a group of Japanese soldiers.

"Kill one and we'll get back our investment. Kill two and we'll make a profit. Comrades, follow me and kill them."

All the members of the reconnaissance company were prepared to die in battle. Instead of retreating to places with fewer people, they rushed towards places with more people.

The confused Japanese had not yet reacted. They didn't know who to attack or what was happening.

The chaos in crowded places gave Kong Yong and others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and throw grenades continuously.

The explosion spread in all directions.

They were wearing Japanese military uniforms and mixed with the devils. In the chaotic ravine, shouts of killing were heard from many places.

Kong Yong took the lead in climbing to the top of the mountain, and his brothers behind him rushed out together.

Looking back, there were more than twenty people and it seemed that no one was left behind.

The sound of grenade explosions continued in the ravine, and the two groups of Japanese soldiers fought each other and opened fire.

"Captain, the Japs don't know what happened yet, what should we do?"

After quickly assessing the situation, I found that the Japs were all trying to get to the center of the ravine. If they ran outside, it would be too obvious.

He ordered the troops to lie on the top of the hill and shoot at the center of the ravine. No matter who was hit, one hit counted.

In the ravine, several groups of Japanese soldiers fought each other and opened fire with light machine guns. They all suspected that the other side was a spy who had sneaked in.

The three battalion commanders contacted the regiment headquarters, but could not find Colonel Okayama.

All the Japanese soldiers woke up, holding their guns, but they didn't know who to shoot or where to attack.
