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

The Japs showed a murderous attitude, which immediately scared the puppet army out of their wits.

The unlucky guy was stabbed in the heart and then kicked off the hill.

The corpse rolled down the hillside like a dead dog, and fell into the pile of rocks at the foot of the mountain.

"You all, go fetch some water."

The puppet army company commander was so frightened that his face was covered in cold sweat, his hat was tilted, his calves were cramping, and his legs were going weak.

A group of people crawled down the mountain and were forced to go down the mountain by the Japanese.

There is a gun tower at the rear.

The machine guns in the bunker were locked tightly, and any puppet soldiers who disobeyed would be shot and killed immediately.

After running down the mountain for a while, the company commander Sun Liancheng couldn't help but curse:

"These beasts don't even treat me as a human being."

The rest of the puppet soldiers also came up, carrying buckets of water and complaining to the company commander.

"We are trying to make a living, why are we throwing our lives away? The Eighth Route Army is lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain. Anyone who dares to go to the water will die."

What should I do? If I don’t go to fetch water, the Japanese will kill me.

Going forward means death, going backward also means death, there is no way to choose.

"Captain, let's surrender. The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well. Following them means suffering, but at least we can survive."

Sun Liancheng took a deep breath and secretly looked back.

The Japanese were also frightened and dared not come down the mountain.

Surrender seems to be the only way out.

This group of puppet soldiers carefully walked down the hillside and approached the foot of the mountain, fearing that they would be shot down by the Eighth Route Army.

So I shouted softly,

"Don't shoot, we surrender, we surrender."

Hearing the shouting, Taozi temporarily suppressed the order to shoot and stared at the puppet troops with Sun Desheng.

A group of people carefully approached the water's edge, threw away the buckets on their backs, and crawled towards Mohe River crying for their parents.

"Surrender, we surrender!"

The puppet troops were so frightened that they threw themselves into the arms of the Eighth Route Army without firing a single shot.

On the top of the mountain, Ichiro Ono waited and waited, but the puppet troops did not come back.

The two squad leaders reported to him that the soldiers were extremely thirsty.

Some people couldn't help it and drank the urine again.

"Calm everyone down, reinforcements will be here soon."

Ichiro Ono knew that the gendarmerie had come to help. As long as he held out for a while and waited for the reinforcements to arrive, the crisis in Wangmu Mountain could be alleviated.

The foot of the mountain is now full of ambushes, so you must not leave your stronghold or fortress.

Okay,

Just wait.

The muffled sound of mines suddenly exploded from the ground. The Japanese reinforcements stepped on the minefield, and a series of explosions affected an area of ​​more than ten meters.

The marching Japanese soldiers had no time to react and were knocked over by the successive exploding mines.

The soldiers quickly lay on the ground and fired their light machine guns at the hills on both sides.

There was no ambush, just a few mines.

But the road ahead is obviously blocked and there may be mines.

The gendarmerie set out in a hurry and did not arrange for mine-clearing engineers.

The captain waved his hand and chose to go another way.

Just as I walked a little further, there was another series of muffled sounds.

A total of 10 mines were buried, and all of them were stepped on by the Japanese.

The light machine guns on the hilltop fired down, and the blocking company ambushed here opened fire, inflicting heavy damage on the marching Japanese troops.

"Back off, back off!"

After leaving the rifle's firing range, the Japanese military police captain Furukawa's brows became serious.

It was already night time, and we didn't know how many troops were ambushed on the hill. If we moved forward rashly, we would probably be surrounded.

"Call Ono Ichiro. My unit has encountered an unknown force blocking it. We are temporarily unable to break through. We will rush to Wangmu Mountain tomorrow morning."

There are a large number of bunkers and artillery towers on Wangmu Mountain, so it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to attack.

Just one night of lack of water won't kill you.

Because Wangmu Mountain was not under siege and there was only a risk of ambush, Captain Furukawa did not take it as a serious problem.

He ordered the troops to retreat, rest on the spot, and then move forward to clean up at dawn.

In Wanjia Town, Ding Wei and Zhong Zhicheng were sitting at the table.

If there was only the Furukawa gendarmerie, there would be no need to gather the entire New 1st Regiment. Two companies would be enough to carry out the blocking operation.

It was at this time that Ding Wei expressed his idea of ​​besieging Wangmu Mountain and destroying the Japanese artillery tower without a fight.

Zhong Zhicheng looked at the team leader, not knowing what to say.

This was too bold. Without any siege weapons, they surrounded nine Japanese bunkers and a stronghold with infantry artillery.

Once the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese invaders attacked from both inside and outside, and the New 1st Regiment had no choice but to retreat.

There is no point in besieging Wangmu Mountain.

"Old Ding, I have something to tell you. The decision to encircle Wangmu Mountain is too risky and has no benefits. I do not recommend continuing the fight. After stopping the enemy from evacuating the people, we should retreat quickly."

"I've always thought you were a relatively prudent decision-maker. How come you have such a bold idea?"

Ding Wei stretched out three fingers and interrupted the excited Zhong Zhicheng.

"Three days. I only need to delay for three days. The Japanese on Mount Wangmu have been without water for three days. How much combat power can they have left?"

"The only one coming to help is a military police corps with less than 800 people. Their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of the puppet army. We have managed to get through today. We will slow down tomorrow and endure for another day."

By the time the Japanese realize something is wrong, you plan to arrange for reinforcements?

The closest to here is the group of military police from Fuping County. The closer ones are the Japanese soldiers from Yuanyuan and Lingqiu counties. It takes at least seven or eight hours to get here by hiking, so there is no time to get to Wangmu Mountain.

He deployed the new regiment not only to stop a gendarmerie.

The intention was to fight a regimental-level blocking battle.

I, Ding, am not targeting just one or two Japanese squadrons. Killing the Japanese is just a side job. I am targeting the infantry gun on the mountain.

The next day, at dawn,

The Japanese gendarmerie gathered, and Captain Furukawa arranged a small force to move forward in an attempt to attack.

There were sporadic gunshots coming from both sides of the hillside.

A few broken guns and 4 light machine guns.

"From what I can see, there is only one company of soldiers in ambush. Attack and kill them."

Furukawa gained confidence and ordered his soldiers to push forward.

He also ordered the grenade group to take position and cooperate in fire suppression.

The Japanese gendarmerie is a security force and its combat effectiveness is inferior to that of a regular field regiment.

Even if they are one level lower, they are not something that an ordinary army short of guns and ammunition can afford to provoke.

Their firepower and ammunition reserves still have an overwhelming advantage.

Ding Wei formulated a blocking strategy for Zhang Dabiao, blocking in stages so that the Japanese would feel that they could control the enemy, but were always just a little short of the target.

You cannot expose all your firepower at once, but rather you have to hold it back.

Give the gendarmerie a little illusion and let them think they can handle it without the need for military support.

The battle started in the morning and lasted for more than two hours. The gunfire was still sporadic, preventing the Japanese from succeeding.

The gendarmerie launched two attacks, but were repelled both times.

But hearing the gunshots getting weaker and weaker, Furukawa was very confident and said happily to his team leader:

"This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers are running low on ammunition. Listen, the gunfire has become very sparse. Concentrate your forces and launch a massive attack."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the blocking company did not fight the Japanese to the end. After a brief blocking, it conserved its strength and retreated to the rear.

After a small victory, Captain Furukawa ordered the signalman to report to his superiors.

"Our troops have defeated the blocking troops and are now moving towards Wanjia Town to clear out the local armed forces and ease the crisis at Wangmu Mountain."

Ichiro Ono, who was on the mountain, received the telegram and breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of dry mouth seemed to disappear because of the good news.

Just wait a few more hours and reinforcements will arrive at the foot of Wangmu Mountain.

By then, we can attack from both inside and outside and eliminate the ambushed Eighth Route Army.
