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

As soon as the new Fifth Regiment was formed, it immediately launched a campaign to clear the countryside and eliminate traitors on a large scale.

Inquire about the whereabouts of the traitors and puppet troops, and then sneak up at night to check them one by one.

They deliberately made a big noise to attract some Japanese and puppet troops to come and clear out the group.

With the combat effectiveness of two guerrilla battalions of five to six hundred people, it would not be enough to rely solely on the puppet army and the gendarmerie. The Japanese would have to arrange at least 1-2 infantry battalions to enter the mountainous area for a sweep.

The new Fifth Regiment has heavy weapons such as infantry guns and heavy machine guns, which is definitely the standard of a main force regiment.

As long as we squat in the ravine, it will be no problem to pull out three battalions.

Due to the commotion in the Yunzhong Mountain area, two infantry battalions of the troops participating in the encirclement and suppression of the Fourth Military Sub-district were dispersed.

Gang County must have an infantry battalion to be responsible for the safety of the railway lines along the way.

Let's take stock of the troops currently involved in the mop-up.

The 12th Independent Regiment split into two infantry battalions and headed to the Yunzhong Mountain area;

The 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade stayed behind along the Tongpu Railway;

The Mito Infantry Regiment engaged the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment at Ishizuoyama;

All that was left was an infantry battalion of the 12th Independent Regiment and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

Ikegami Kenji suddenly felt like it was a joke. I applied for two infantry regiments to join in the encirclement and suppression of Ding Wei's main force, but how come there is only one infantry battalion left?

Nothing was done, but the two infantry regiments were praised for their efforts.

Oh, I forgot another troop, the independent artillery battalion transferred from Taiyuan.

When it comes to clearing mountainous areas, the artillery battalion is not as comfortable to use as the infantry.

There was no choice but to launch an offensive against the Wutai Mountain area.

The dirt road was muddy after the rain. The Japanese army's vehicles were approaching the mountainous area. Looking around, the mountain was covered with weeds and there was not even a decent mountain road.

The Fourth Military Division deployed its troops in a dispersed manner, with only a small number of guerrilla forces and sharpshooters equipped with sniper rifles on the front line.

Hiding in the dark, constantly sniping the advancing soldiers.

The sharpshooters were low-key, but the number of Japanese soldiers they killed was increasing day by day.

Kill 8 today, 10 tomorrow, and 7 more the day after tomorrow.

All in all, the number of Japanese invaders killed was very considerable.

There are two scouts placed on a large hill, which is the cooperation between Gou Zi and Zhao Dahai.

After a period of fighting, the dog has gradually grown up and is about to become an independent scout.

28 Japanese soldiers have been killed by sniping, and 16 rifles, 1 pistol and more than 400 bullets have been seized.

His marksmanship was particularly outstanding. When he saw the Japanese coming to search, he took aim and fired.

At a distance of more than 700 meters, he killed the vanguard with one shot.

The Japanese squad immediately went on alert, searching for the shooting location and firing at the suspicious location with a light machine gun.

Seeing that the Japanese invaders had not discovered his hiding place, he stuck out his gun again, aimed at the Japanese light machine gunner, and shot him through the head with a clean shot.

I really like the feeling of medium to long-range sniping. With a gun in hand, the whole battlefield makes my blood boil.

Seeing that the gunshots attracted the Japanese, Zhao Dahai in another place was worried about the safety of the dog.

He fired regardless of the danger to attract the enemy's attention and create an opportunity for Gouzi to retreat.

Young people are brave.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. During the retreat, he leaned against a crooked tree and aimed and shot.

Kill an enemy with one bullet.

Three shots, three hits, killing three Japanese devils.

The dog ran very fast, crouched down, holding the gun, and quickly jumped off the hill.

The Japanese squad actually decided to stop and not pursue.

Hidden among this group of Chinese troops are a group of sharpshooters who can shoot at a distance of 700 meters.

A few scattered sharpshooters can shoot at a distance of about 800 meters and ensure a certain degree of accuracy.

The water-jet rifle has high accuracy, a long barrel, a large cartridge case volume, and uses rimmed bullets, which are easy to position in the barrel and facilitate accurate aiming of the firearm.

An excellent soldier, equipped with a good rifle, can naturally ensure the shooting effect.

We Chinese are the best soldiers in the world. We have a large population and are home to many talented marksmen.

Many people can hit headshots from a long distance with a broken gun.

Replace the sniper rifle with a scope for better shooting results.

This caused great headaches for the Japanese troops on the mopping-up operation, as they were often at an inherent disadvantage when encountering scouts from the Fourth Military Division.

Without the advantage of weapons and equipment, the Japanese had to rely on the Bushido spirit of fearlessness to support the battle.

The signalman rushed over to report to Ding Wei.

Today, several groups of Japanese troops entered the mountainous area and exchanged fire with the guerrilla forces on the front line.

The Japanese army quickly launched artillery fire to clear the mountainous area.

"It seems that the Japanese soldiers of the 9th Brigade are aware of the situation. They know that rushing into the mountains is a death sentence. They only fire artillery and guns at the edge and sit for a while to conduct a sweep."

"Notify the main force to prepare for battle. As long as the Japanese invaders dare to step into the depths of the mountains, find and actively create opportunities to bite off a piece of meat."

When encountering Ding Wei's troops, even the experienced 9th Independent Brigade felt that it had no place to use its strength.

The cannon fired at the top of the hill, firing many shells into the air.

It looks powerful, but actually has no killing power.

The military strength of this mountainous area is very small, with only two or three people on each hill.

When a shell falls, the probability of being hit is about the same as winning the lottery.

Unless you are extremely unlucky, the shells usually won't hit you.

Arrange the infantry to go up and clean up, but they were in a desperate situation. The Japanese squad climbed up and then climbed down again, wasting at least half a day's effort.

After a day of fighting, the Eighth Route Army failed to catch up with the enemy and the soldiers were exhausted.

The punch hit cotton, which made the Japanese major general quite dissatisfied.

Our side suffered 67 casualties, 13 of whom were injured when they missed a step and rolled down the mountain.

Another five people were kicked by mules and horses, one of whom had his testicles broken, which was a serious injury.

It's a complete mess.

In the evening, a large number of sentries were arranged to patrol, and the troops set up pots to cook at the edge of the mountain area.

The Japanese soldiers were exhausted. Seven or eight of them huddled together, guarding an iron pot and cooking rice.

I have blisters on the soles of my feet, it's so painful.

There was a smell of stinky feet coming from the military camp.

Kenkichi Ikegami realized that he did not have enough troops. With his current strength, he would not be able to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army if he rushed to the mountainous area in front of him.

Before finding the main force, we dare not easily split our troops and attack.

The tactic of dividing the forces and attacking simultaneously, which was often used in the past, was difficult to implement in front of Ding Wei.

Because the 4th Military Division has strong firepower, once encountered, it is likely to wipe out the infantry battalion in a short period of time.

By 41, the number of veteran elite soldiers in the Japanese army was decreasing, which was also the main reason for the decline in combat effectiveness.

At the beginning of the war, the same number of Japanese troops had the advantage in one-on-one combat, regardless of whether they were facing the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, or the miscellaneous troops.

Without the support of artillery, the advantages of individual infantry in mopping-up operations in the mountainous areas would be weakened by the complex mountainous areas, which would in turn encourage the ferocity of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to carry out the Japanese raids, a large number of troops must be used.

Continue to apply for 1 infantry regiment to cooperate in the sweep of Wutai Mountain area.

When the combat application was submitted to the First Army Headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka was completely paralyzed.

Two infantry regiments have been deployed in succession. Isn’t that enough to deal with the Fourth Military Division?

Is it that the enemy is too strong, or is there something wrong with the command of our own troops?

Can you please mention the responsibility of Chi Shangshang Xianji by name?
