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

"Chief of Staff, the Eighth Route Army is coming to attack us."

Kong Yong, together with his brothers from the reconnaissance company, became like sharp knives and charged straight into the headquarters of the Gangshan Regiment.

This group of people has rich combat experience and strong combat effectiveness, and is equipped with automatic firepower such as light machine guns and submachine guns.

They killed their way through as if they were in an empty land.

All the intercepting devils were killed.

The sudden change became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Major Okaya collapsed on the ground, not knowing how to respond.

The gunshots were approaching, only a hundred or two hundred meters away from the command center.

The escorting Japanese soldiers fought back frantically, but were shot through by the charging soldiers.

"Chief of Staff? Chief of Staff?"

The signalman was waiting for him to give orders, but the Japanese major's mind was blank. He could not speak, let alone give any orders.

The crotch of my pants felt warm, and in a panic I became incontinent.

The stench was everywhere, but the signalmen had high combat quality and were not affected at all. They continued to urge the chief of staff to command the battle or to turn back.

"Turn around? Fight me, turn around quickly!"

Major Okaya seized on a word and repeated it several times in succession, causing the soldiers involved in the battle to turn back.

What kind of bullshit order is this?

The three captains were bewildered. The Eighth Route Army had already pushed the enemy to a distance of more than 100 meters. If they retreated at this time, wouldn't they leave their reserves to be beaten?

As expected, the precarious front collapsed directly because of this transfer order.

Most of the Japanese soldiers heard the order to stop firing and move to the rear. However, a small group of Japanese soldiers still thought that the order was unreasonable and that they should repel the Eighth Route Army's offensive first.

"Nonsense, Major Okaya is making trouble."

The Japs were in chaos, some heading forward and some heading backward. As soon as the blocking fire stopped, the Eighth Route Army rushed up quickly.

"Charge! The Japs are defeated. They are trying to escape."

The soldiers on the hillside climbed up and charged towards the Japanese.

"Shoot, keep shooting, who told you to turn in?"

The Japanese captain tried to stop the soldiers, but it was of no avail.

This is a transfer order issued by the regiment headquarters, and everyone must obey it. For the Japanese who are the most disciplined, obeying orders is ingrained in their bones.

Even if they were asked to commit suicide on the spot, most people would follow orders without hesitation.

This damn blockhead, this brainwashed pumpkin head, we must not retreat in the current situation.

What to withdraw?

It’s not like we can’t fight?

The captain, who was experienced in combat, was fully aware of the urgency of the situation. If the troops moved backwards, they would definitely suffer heavy losses and would be surrounded and hunted down by the group of Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of them.

But the order has been given, what else can we do?

The soldiers of the Fourth Military Division all rushed forward and fired wildly at the approaching Japanese soldiers.

Hand grenades and grenade launchers were used together, and the fast-running soldiers rushed up with rifles, shooting at the devils and stabbing them in the back with bayonets.

When he ran out of bullets, he picked up the Type 99 rifle on the ground, held it in his arms and fired bursts of shots.

The Japanese left their backs to the enemy, which was no different from seeking their own death.

Major Okaya's order to retreat directly ruined all the hard work of the Okayama Regiment.

The battle line collapsed immediately, and the Japs scrambled to retreat, crowding each other and trampling their own people off the hill.

The pursuing soldiers became more courageous and threw grenades into the crowd with all their strength.

Accompanied by the sound of explosions, the Japanese were blown to the ground one after another.

The exciting charge horn resounded across the mountain top, and the shouts of killing filled the entire mountain.

During the transfer, the Okayama Regiment was intercepted and killed by the pursuing soldiers. A large number of Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and the casualties quickly exceeded 300 people.

The Japanese captain, Major Matsushita, was hit by a stray bullet. He cursed in the direction of Major Okaya's command post, and lay on the ground unwillingly. He could no longer hold on and rolled down the hillside.

"Kill, kill! Comrades, the Japs are trying to escape, don't let any of them go, chase them down!"

Kong Yong fired bursts of bullets from his light machine gun, hitting the enemy's backs. After emptying the magazine, he quickly reloaded and continued firing.

Five guerrilla battalions surrounded them and spontaneously launched a pursuit.

The Okayama Regiment was defeated and retreated, suffering over a thousand casualties, leaving behind a large amount of combat supplies, and withdrew from the battle in a panic.

The various forces dispersed and broke out separately in the mountainous area.

The regular infantry regiment of the Type A Division suffered a disastrous defeat in the mountainous area.

The news came via radio, and Ding Wei was the first to get the news from the mountains.

"Good, great! The political commissar led the mountain guerrillas to defeat the Okayama regiment. I never thought that it would be possible."

"Notify Zhang Dabiao and Gao Qing immediately. The New Third Regiment will abandon the current Hutuo River position. We will gather and march towards Gang County."

Since he no longer needed to fight the Japanese here and had no worries at home, Ding Wei immediately gave up the idea of ​​fighting an offensive and defensive battle with the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

Offensive and defensive warfare was not the Eighth Route Army’s forte; mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare were.

Mobilize superior forces, charge into the direction of Gang County, and eliminate the weak ones first.

After Saburo Yamada died in the operating room, the 3rd Independent Brigade was leaderless, and coupled with the continuous loss of troops, there were only a little over 2,000 combat soldiers.

The troops in the northwest are weak, so we should sneak over there at night and attack the crippled Third Brigade first.

The communications company conveyed the message to the various combat units. Ding Wei personally led the cavalry battalion, assembled the main force of the Fourth Military Division, and raided the Japanese Independent Mixed Third Brigade in the northwest direction.

There are only more than two infantry battalions of the brigade and some local security forces here. The puppet troops are not even considered human beings.

The guard forces and puppet troops were not even third-rate, so Ding Wei did not take them seriously.

First wipe out the Independent 3rd Brigade, and then turn around and destroy the Independent 9th Brigade.

This is Ding Wei, who is tactically flexible and very courageous.

Abandoning the Hutuo River position they were defending, all the soldiers advanced northwest and marched quickly to attack Gang County.

Kenkichi Ikegami was alarmed by the noise on the other side of the Hutuo River and immediately suspected that it was a night attack by the Eighth Route Army.

He had deployed a large number of sentries before dusk and was not worried about night attacks or night battles.

If the Eighth Route Army dares to charge forward, they will fall into his trap.

There was quite a bit of noise, but the Eighth Route Army didn't rush over here?

"General, I just received news from the First Army Headquarters that the Okayama Regiment was defeated by the guerrillas of the Fourth Military Division."

"Ok?"

Defeated by some inferior guerrillas?

That's the strength of an entire infantry regiment. Is General Shinozuka kidding me?

"General, the intelligence is confirmed to be correct. Major Okaya made a mistake in command, which led to the failure of the Okayama Regiment's retreat. Major Matsushita was killed, and the regiment lost more than a thousand soldiers. We have temporarily lost contact."

Major General Shang Xianji was no longer confident. In battles with the Chinese army, the casualty ratio was often 1:6 or 1:7.

An infantry regiment can rampage across a large area, and even if it crashes into the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it can retreat unscathed.

The current news told him that the Okayama Regiment encountered the inferior Eighth Route Army guerrillas and was defeated in the mountains by the guerrillas.

This probability is even lower than the probability that Kenkichi Ikegami will become the emperor in the future.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

The facts were before our eyes. The fighting in the mountains and forests was fierce. The Fourth Military Sub-district had deployed 7,000 to 8,000 guerrilla battalions, guerrilla squads, district squads, and militia.

1580 people were sacrificed, more than 600 were injured, 1317 Japanese invaders were killed, the pursuing Okayama Regiment fled in panic, and a large amount of combat supplies were seized.

More than 40 light and heavy machine guns, 4 infantry guns, 41 grenade launchers, 2 mountain guns assigned to the regiment, more than 200 mules and horses, 5 cars, and more than 60 horse-drawn carriages were seized.

The abundance of seized materials opened the eyes of Zhong Zhicheng and others.
