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

Ding Wei didn't even wait for the brigade commander's order and started deploying troops directly from Wanjia Town.

The Eighth Route Army's combat regulations are there, and protecting the masses is the top priority.

They have no habit of deserting the battlefield, and they will stand on the front line even if it means death.

No matter how he considers it, the brigade commander will definitely agree to the new regiment's combat application to stop the Japanese.

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhong had been worried about the battle at Baishiqiao and had already prepared his troops for battle.

After the order was issued, the second battalion commander Gao Qing also hurriedly led his team back.

38 wounded soldiers returned to the team, still with bandages on their bodies. Their injuries had not yet healed completely, but as long as they were able to move, they would all get up and return to the team at the command of the regiment headquarters.

At the same time, 103 people were brought back from the rear as new recruits to the new regiment.

Most of the new recruits promoted from militia training have never touched a gun many times. They are more trained in assassination techniques and are always ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.

After arriving at the regiment headquarters, each person was assigned a gun.

The rifle had been passed around several times, and some of the rifling had become worn smooth.

Even so, the recruits couldn't hide the smile on their faces.

It was common for two or three people to share a gun and divide the bullets among them.

But every member of the new regiment has a gun, the new recruits have 3 bullets, the old soldiers have 10 bullets, and the sharpshooters have 30 bullets.

Gao Qing had never met the new team leader before, but when he saw Deputy Team Leader Zhong was so generous, he immediately came over to inquire.

"Old Zhong, I heard that our new regiment has made a fortune. Is this true? How is the new leader?"

"Yeah, I made a little fortune."

"How is the new commander? Ask the other brothers. They have been eating canned beef these past two days. It's no worse than when Commander Li was here. Commander Ding is also an old revolutionary."

"Hehe, that's good. I'm afraid of running into a cowardly regiment commander. If he doesn't dare to fight the Japanese, I'll be the first to go to the brigade headquarters to complain and call back Commander Li."

Zhong Zhicheng rolled his eyes at him.

"You are so awesome that you even went to the brigade to complain. The New 1st Regiment is full of strong men, and there is no snitch or coward. Stop talking nonsense and arrange for the troops to go to the front line."

"They are all new recruits, why don't you give them some training?"

"There's no time to train them. They are all new recruits. Just bring them up and let them get used to it."

All the members of the new regiment who can move will be gathered and transferred to Wanjia Town.

Before the main force arrived, Ding Wei arranged for Zhang Dabiao to deal with the remaining puppet troops in Wanjia Town first.

The command center was moved to Wanjia Town.

This place is adjacent to Wangmu Mountain, so we can not only keep an eye on the Japanese on the mountain, but also arrange troops to block them.

Taozi and Sun Desheng led a team to guard the Mohe water intake, keeping an eye on the Japanese on the mountain.

As long as anyone dared to come down to fetch water, the light machine guns would immediately shoot at them and beat them to the ground.

Ichiro Ono was so frightened that he led a small team to chase after them, but only 7 people escaped.

His hands and feet were scratched and he looked in an indescribable state.

The situation at the foot of the mountain is unclear now. Who knows how many Eighth Route Army soldiers are ambushed there. The best decision is to wait for reinforcements.

You won’t die from thirst for a night.

Ding Wei equipped the guard platoon with the 20 newly acquired water-repeating rifles, and Taozi led his men to replace the new guns.

The guard platoon is a group of the best veterans selected from the regiment. They use either Type 38 rifles or water-link rifles. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.

Veterans have high combat qualities, but they need to be equipped with good guns to perform at their best.

Light machine guns, grenades, and grenade launchers are all equipped here with only one purpose: no matter how many Japanese come to get water, they must be repelled.

In Wanjia Town, the main force of the New 1st Regiment quickly approached and marched quickly to the location requested by Ding Wei.

Allocate ammunition and supplies, and arrange blocking locations for each company.

"Captain, we have finally captured some supplies, so let's save them."

Zhang Dabiao felt so distressed when he saw this that he distributed all the rifle bullets, machine gun bullets, grenades and mines.

The regiment's most heavily stockpiled ammunition was also taken out.

It's just a blocking battle. We can fight with all our might using swords and machetes. There's no need to be so wasteful.

Ding Wei did not comment. If the supplies were lost, they could be recaptured, but if the people were gone, they were really gone.

The casualties in the hand-to-hand combat were too heavy, and he couldn't bear to leave these veterans.

"Don't be stingy with ammunition in this blocking operation. Use guns when necessary and try to reduce hand-to-hand combat. I know this."

Ding Wei certainly knew that as long as the blocking battle started, he would be able to get separate supplies.

This time, the entire New 1st Regiment was involved in the blocking battle. All the troops were mobilized and all the assets were taken out.

Type 92, crooked handle, grenade, mortar.

Speaking of mortars, Wang Chengzhu arrived at Wanjia Town and went straight to Ding Wei.

The shells had been used up long ago, and now only the barrel was left.

The team leader asked him to come over. I wonder if there are any special arrangements?

Zhuzi is a person that Ding Wei values ​​very much. He will become the backbone of the new regiment in the future. He is good at firing accurate artillery and has a bright future.

"Captain, mortar squad leader Wang Chengzhu reports to you, please give instructions!"

Ding Wei signaled Zhang Dabiao to arrange the blocking first, to meet up with Deputy Regiment Commander Zhong and others, to disperse the troops and form a staggered blocking position.

Then he called Zhuzi into the house alone.

"Look, what did I beg for in exchange for two boxes of this?"

"Sweet potato stew?"

Zhuzi's eyes lit up. Does Captain Ding also know that he likes sweet potato cake?

The war is about to start, so drinking is not a good idea.

Ding Wei was amused and laughed. Sweet potato stew? You're so smart.

When the box was opened, there were 8 mortar shells.

"Use them sparingly. These eight shells must at least destroy six of the machine gun fire points for me."

Zhuzi was stunned. Where did they get the shells from? They had been used up long ago.

As a mortar operator, it is very difficult to have a gun but no bullets.

He immediately put the shell aside and guarded it like his own son, even holding it in his arms when he slept.

"The mortar squad must cooperate with this blocking operation and give full play to their best performance."

Ding Wei patted the boy's strong shoulder. He was indeed a man who could defeat Colonel Sakata with one shot. He had a very strong body.

"Captain, just watch. I won't say anything else. I'll hit wherever you point."

On Queen Mother Mountain,

The last bit of water in the reservoir was used up, and there was no water left for cooking in the evening.

The cook searched around and found only a few kettles with their bottoms left.

This little bit of water is not enough to cook, steam rice, or make pancakes or dough.

When they found the puppet army leader, the puppet army company commander cursed, "You figure it out on your own. Can't you cook without water?"

The cook was disappointed and hid in the kitchen in shame.

A few ladies here are looking for vegetables to eat and quench their thirst at the same time.

Squadron leader Ichiro Ono calmed down, covered the bandage on his arm, and looked around at the puppet soldiers.

When it was night, the puppet soldiers were asked to bring buckets of water down to fill the pit.

If there was an ambush, it was an ambush of puppet troops.

Normally, they are treated like dogs. Now, it's time to test these lackeys.

It was getting dark and all the puppet soldiers were called over. When they were told to go down the mountain to fetch water, they all backed out.

"Baga! You're dead!"

The Japanese soldier pulled out his bayonet, stabbed the puppet soldier in the heart, and came up to drink his blood with a smile on his face.
