Chapter 158 A sudden order arrived at the headquarters. Ding obtained weapons and equipment from two
As the Spring Festival of 42 approached, various units were resting, some were expanding, and some were training.
After more than two months of rest, the soldiers are in high spirits.
The reorganization speed was faster than Ding Wei expected. Most of the troops were drawn from the guerrillas and transferred to the main regiment.
Eight main battalions were deployed on the front line in the northeast direction, forcing the Japanese to deploy three infantry battalions.
Gao Qing was under a lot of pressure. He was thinking about choosing the right opportunity in front of him to capture Tianzhen and Guangling and force the Japanese independent mixed brigade to withdraw from northern Shanxi.
All the teams have achieved impressive results, and his own regiment should achieve even better results.
The comrades were holding their breath and were unwilling to give up until they took over the county.
The Japanese soldiers took a defensive stance, so the HD troops chose the tunnel approach, digging tunnels and preparing for blasting.
This can be considered as a siege tactic accidentally learned during the attack on Datong.
Artillery should be used sparingly, as every shell fired is one less.
Zhang Dabiao and Gao Qing's energies approached Tianzhen, Yangyuan and Guangling respectively, preparing for the siege.
Ding Wei originally wanted to inspect the front line to see the situation of the 8000nd Independent Mixed Brigade. This independent brigade with elite soldiers was also a strong enemy.
Since the war began, the loss of troops has been relatively small, with only thousands of casualties. A large number of the devils are veterans who have participated in the war for many years and are naturally tenacious in combat.
Let the most elite Zhang Dabiao Detachment and Gao Qing Detachment go and grind them down until they have wiped out this group of Japs.
Plans can't keep up with changes.
A sudden order asked Ding Wei to report to the division headquarters quickly.
I thought to myself, this is bad. The division commander wouldn't want Kong Jie's detachment, as he had just rejected it a while ago.
Are they preparing for the Hongmen Banquet?
With some slight worries, he quickly rushed to the headquarters, which was located in Wuxiang. After passing through Li Yunlong's defense zone, he arrived at the headquarters safely.
The Japanese don't have any extra troops to go out on mopping-up operations, so the mountainous area is pretty safe right now.
Braving the severe cold, fingers were almost frozen. Duan Peng and Zhao Dayi, who were accompanying him, had sharp eyes and often kept an eye on the surroundings to ensure the commander's safety.
One of these two men has outstanding martial arts skills and can be regarded as the best in the column.
One of them is proficient in sniping and has good talent. After Zhou Weiguo's professional concentrated training, his level is even better.
As soon as he arrived here, the sentry saluted first.
"Ding Wei, you have more face than me, and you have to let me greet you in person."
It was somewhat unexpected that I met my old leader here.
"How can we ask the brigade commander to come and greet us personally? Even though Ding Wei is the commander of the column, the brigade commander is still the brigade commander and our old superior."
As for the positions of the two people, it depends on which one.
If he was a brigade commander, he would not be able to stand up to Ding Wei.
At this time, the column is one level larger than the brigade.
But if we take into account his identity as Commander of Taiyue, he is half a level higher than Ding Wei.
Just like a division commander, the division level is almost on the same level as the column, but if you take out the identity of the commander of Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan, the column must be under the military region.
It was only right and reasonable for Ding Wei to light a cigarette for the brigade commander.
I looked at the dog.
"Hurry up and bring me the gift, the one I prepared specially for me."
Gouzi understood what he meant and took out a pack of Japanese cigarettes from under the horse's bag. The packaging was nice, a good thing for the officer.
After Ding Wei grabbed it, he quietly handed it to the brigade commander and placed it in his palm.
"That's pretty good. You have a lot of good stuff. Which one is this? I've never smoked it before."
The brigade commander was injured in his early years and basically stopped drinking, but he could not stop smoking.
After giving him the cigarette, he asked what was going on.
Call him back from far away.
"You will know after talking to your teacher."
He is still keeping it a secret. Just go by yourself. It's not like the Eighth Route Army Headquarters has been there before. Ding Wei is not afraid at all.
He swaggered into the command center and all the leaders were there.
Seeing him come in, the commander called Ding Wei to come over and sit down.
"Ding Wei, you must have had a hard time on the road."
"For the sake of revolution, I will not be willing to suffer."
After saluting, the commander stared at him with a smile.
It makes people feel goosebumps when they see it.
"Commander, if you have anything to ask, just tell me. I, Ding Wei, will do whatever I can for you."
"You look at me like this, and it makes me uncomfortable."
The commander likes Ding Wei more and more. He is a rare talent under his command. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't like him.
Recently, someone has been robbing again, and this time the person is even more powerful. Ding Wei was specifically asked to handle it, and Ding Wei's Jinbei Column was asked to complete this task. Even the division commander couldn't refuse the person who spoke.
The forest is too big to cover it.
Once its wings are strong, the eagle can fly high.
The commander briefly explained the situation.
Just as the winter winds were blowing at their strongest, there were unexpected visitors.
Ding Wei's cavalry unit was active in the grassland area outside the Great Wall, forcing the Japanese army to retreat to the city and annihilating the 3rd Mongolian Cavalry Division in the process, achieving fruitful results.
The Soviet-Red Army stationed in Outer Mongolia discovered this change.
It happened that the Battle of Stalingrad broke out. Dezi's offensive was fierce and the fighting on the front was tense.
To guard against the Kwantung Army and to prepare for a happy life.
The father wanted the National Army or the Eighth Route Army to transfer 1-2 divisions to the grasslands and the border areas of Outer Mongolia to tie up the Japanese army. For this purpose, the Soviet Union could provide military support.
Arm one or two divisions with Soviet weapons.
This is a good thing. The Eighth Route Army was in a difficult situation before. Each person had only 20 bullets on average and had no means of assault operations.
Once they enter the undefended grassland, planes can strafe at will.
The strength of the Eighth Route Army was not enough to tie down the Japanese cavalry on the grassland.
Lacking horses, weapons and equipment, and logistical supplies, fighting on the grasslands made it difficult to bring into play the advantages of guerrilla warfare, and instead exposed the disadvantages of their own backward weapons.
With insufficient ammunition and outdated firearms, they could not compete with the cavalry.
Life was hard and people couldn't even get enough food to eat, so where could they raise war horses?
After comprehensive consideration, I still think we should develop the base first.
The situation is different now. The sudden rise of the Shanxi-North Column has rapidly increased the influence of the Eighth Route Army in the Northwest region.
The Jinbei Column was very famous in the areas of Shanxi, Chahar and Suiyuan, and Ding Wei made the Japanese devils both frightened and terrified.
We have a cavalry detachment and an armored battalion.
The headquarters then reconsidered the father's proposal and wondered whether they could accept the dispatch of a detachment of troops to engage the Japanese troops in the Outer Mongolia border area.
After all, getting the weapons and equipment of two Soviet-equipped divisions is not a small amount.
It turns out to be a good thing.
Ding Wei thought it was something else.
"Commander, this is a simple matter. I plan to send troops after the New Year to cut off the Pingsui Railway Line of the Japanese puppet army. I will use the mobile forces at hand to launch surprise attacks at night to disturb them."
"In addition, we must intensify our offensive in the Chahar direction and eliminate the Second Independent Mixed Brigade. This will solve the problem in the northwest region. We can focus on sending troops to North China and recover more counties."
The commander stared at Ding Wei, waiting for him to finish speaking, and then listened to what he continued.
These big and empty things can just be talked about for a moment; the key point is how to divide the weapons and equipment of the two Soviet-equipped divisions.
This needs to be discussed behind closed doors. Our Jinbei Column came from the division headquarters, so in terms of roots, we must have followed the division commander.
Ding Wei promised that after receiving this batch of weapons and equipment, he would distribute the weapons and equipment of 5000 people to the brother troops. As he had more and more troops, the consumption of weapons was also very high.
The construction of Datong Arsenal had just begun, and there was a lot of work to be done, so the war could not wait.
Therefore, Ding Wei will get the lion's share of this batch of weapons and equipment.
