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

The key point is that Zhao Dayi's name sounds really hard and has no cultural content.

Wang Chengzhu thought this name was average and couldn't help but teasing:

"Kong Yong, you need to continue to strengthen your cultural studies. Zhao Quan doesn't sound good, so you can call him Zhao Mo. He is a sharpshooter in the dark, staring at his prey like a wolfhound."

You know what, it's quite interesting.

Listening to the three talented people around him, Ding Wei suddenly felt that the cultural level of the three battalion commanders needed to be improved.

When naming a child, can’t you avoid using the words wolfdog?

We still need to train more sharpshooters, select soldiers with shooting talents, and improve the combat capability of the team.

Now that you have a water-reinforced sniper rifle with a scope, you must give full play to your sharpshooter skills, train more in the reconnaissance company, and feed it more bullets.

Kong Yong's reconnaissance battalion has three companies, and each squad is equipped with 1-2 sniper rifles, which means that each squad needs to train one or two sharpshooters.

There is a long way to go.

The war horses galloped along the mountain road, heading straight for Hongdao Town where the New 1st Regiment was located.

Captain Gao learned early in the morning that Ding Wei was coming, so he arranged for soldiers to receive him and bring him to the regiment headquarters when the commander arrived.

His three battalions were deployed around the northern mountains and supported each other in combat.

The regiment headquarters was directly located in Hongdao Town.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the north bank of the Hutuo River were weak in strength, and no one could influence his command center.

The defense zones of the New Fifth Regiment and the New First Regiment were adjacent to each other, and they needed to exchange information through the Japanese war zone.

Each time, the message was delivered by experienced personnel behind enemy lines.

Tongyi then reports to Ding Wei.

"The new Fifth Regiment is developing smoothly, but the logistics are relatively tight. Commander, you also know that to transport supplies to the mountainous areas, you have to pass through the Xinding Basin first."

"The Japanese built artillery towers in the villages and towns, forming a situation where every village is connected to every town. Comrades have to wait until night to transport supplies to the small unit."

Only some bullets and grenades could be provided by the military sub-district, and the rest of the heavy weapons were difficult to transport.

Development is difficult in itself, and Ding Wei is not there, so there is no way to get supplies from the private warehouse.

"I plan to move the military sub-district headquarters to Yunzhong Mountain. The military strength in northwest Shanxi is weak, so it is suitable for our military sub-district to establish a new base there."

"I have other plans. I will attack the weak areas of the Japanese army in the north. I will not fight with the First Army. I will fight the highly mobile Mongolian troops."

Ding Wei had long planned a strategy of turning to the northwest and north.

Advance towards Ningwu and other county towns in the north, attract troops stationed in Mongolia, and build a new base in the Datong Basin.

There are rich resources there, including coal mines, iron mines, and fertile basins and plains.

Occupy the mountains and look at the plains; occupy the plains and take the grasslands.

The relocation of the headquarters is a big event, and there are thousands of troops directly under it, including Kong Yong’s reconnaissance battalion, cavalry battalion, and artillery battalion.

The reconnaissance battalion also serves as a guard company.

After Ding Wei's guard company was taken out, no separate guard company was formed.

On the one hand, because they were skilled and courageous, they did not think the Japanese could reach the headquarters, so the construction of the guard company was shelved.

On the other hand, the construction of each regiment is under intense pressure, and suitable and outstanding recruits will be sent to each regiment first.

The other cavalry battalions and artillery battalions were equipped with more mules and horses. Once they were pulled out, they would make a lot of noise and the marching column would be long, making it impossible for them to pass through the enemy-occupied areas safely.

This was also the reason why Ding Wei came to the New 1st Regiment, so that Gao Qing could open up a hidden route through the enemy-occupied area.

By inciting the puppet troops in the artillery towers along the way to rebel or capturing them, the military sub-district headquarters can be moved there smoothly.

“It’s difficult, but you can try.”

Gao Qing thought about it for a while and felt that it was feasible to a certain extent, but it would require energy to execute.

We can take action while the Japanese are learning new tactics and retreating to the county town.

As long as the baggage train is transferred there, the main force won't have to worry and can just charge forward.

Only the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments were deployed in the Wutai Mountain area, and the New 3rd and New 4th Regiments were required to go to the Yunzhong Mountain area to fight.

This is a relatively large-scale transfer strategy that requires careful coordination among all departments.

From mid-August, Ding Wei's troops began to act in secret, passing near the artillery tower where the puppet troops were stationed.

All the puppet soldiers in the artillery tower were warned that if they dared to inform on others, they would be dealt with immediately by artillery fire.

At night, the lights in the turret were deliberately turned to the side so as not to disturb the Eighth Route Army soldiers passing by.

It took about a week to transfer a large number of troops to the Yunzhong Mountain area.

Zhong Zhicheng, who learned the news in advance, arranged for personnel to pick up the troops, selected a suitable location for the military sub-district headquarters, and settled the main forces of the New Third and New Fourth Regiments.

"Old Ding, you really have learned all the skills of Brigade Commander Chen. You can fight tough battles and hide troops. You quietly pulled two main regiments from under the noses of the Japanese."

The three battalions directly under the military sub-district, the logistics troops, the medical team, plus the main forces of the New Third and New Fourth Regiments, totaled five to six thousand people.

They were transferred in batches and passed through the Japanese war zone smoothly.

It was simply because the Fourth Military Division was so good at fighting that the puppet troops were so frightened that they dared not stop it.

We also have to thank the Japanese for being so absorbed in learning new tactics that they were unable to launch a siege in the mountainous areas.

When the main force of the military sub-district arrived at the Yunzhong Mountain area, Ding Wei did not stop at all and decided to intensify the efforts to clear the countryside and suppress bandits.

Previously, there were only five regiments with six or seven hundred troops, but now it has expanded tenfold. The third, fourth, and fifth regiments under the Fourth Military Sub-district have gathered together, with a total of four or five thousand people.

A while ago, Zhong Zhicheng was asked to figure out the situation of the bandits in the mountains.

The bandits entrenched in the mountains and forests must be eliminated.

These people have no bottom line. They may fight the Japanese invaders, but they are more likely to attack civilians.

Relying on the weapons in his hands, he committed many murders and arson.

Heiyun Village is naturally Ding Wei's top priority, and the village chief Xie Baoqing is an interesting person.

He was born in a poor family, became enemies with a rich man, killed the rich man and then went to the mountains to become a bandit, gathering such a group of people.

They had robbed the Japanese puppet army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Central Army. But, as he said, they had never robbed the Eighth Route Army.

Heiyun Village also follows a rule that you can rob anyone except the poor.

Thanks to this, Black Cloud Village actually had some reputation in this mountainous area, which allowed them to gain a foothold. Many poor people who could not make a living also went up the mountain to join Xie Baoqing.

This guy is also an expert in skating, and Ding Wei is planning to meet him.

The location chosen by Heiyun Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is only one disadvantage: if you are blocked at the door, there is no way to escape.

Based on this alone, we can see that this group of people may be able to fight, but their level is not very high.

After all, they have robbed the National Army, the puppet army, and the Japanese devils, but have not been defeated yet. Their fighting capacity must be good, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago.

You want to say how good his level is, but it doesn't show how good his level is if he chooses a dead end that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

First, let’s arrange a fast horse to deliver a message to the bandits in Heiyun Village.

Ding Wei from the Fourth Military Sub-district wants to have a chat with Xie Baoqing.

This letter caused an uproar in Heiyun Village. Firstly, they had never heard of Ding Wei, and secondly, they had never dealt with the Eighth Route Army.

After calling his brothers together, Xie Baoqing wanted to discuss with everyone the origins of the 4th Military Sub-district of the Eighth Route Army.

The second leader, Shanmaozi, was a ruthless man and looked at the letter with disdain.

"Brother, I think they are just a bunch of guerrillas. Tell them clearly that we should not interfere with each other. The hundreds of people in Black Cloud Village are not to be trifled with."

"No, no, no, don't talk nonsense, you have to see things clearly."

Xie Baoqing started stuttering when he became anxious.
