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

Chapter 376 Ding Wei suggested promoting Division Commander Zhong to the position of Column Commande

Chen Linda called the military headquarters, but no one answered.

"Fuck, these little cuties. I'm trapped in Gongzhu Village and no one is coming to rescue me. Is Commander Chen mad?"

The New Fifth Army had to support the attacks of four columns while facing multiple times the number of enemies.

At this time, General Staff Chen also realized that there were at least 3-5 columns of troops in the area, and it was worth closing in.

The New 71st Army and the st Army were dispatched from Fengtian and moved towards the Xinmin area.

The New Sixth Army and the New Third Army were dispatched, led by Blind Liao himself, to be responsible for closing the net.

However, these two blocking forces had to face obstruction from Ding Wei's independent 3rd, 4th and 5th columns, especially on the Xinmin side.

Zhang Dabiao ordered two divisions to form a blocking position, and the remaining two divisions actually launched a counterattack against the New First Army.

In the Liaohe area northwest of Tieling, Liao Xiazi's two armies exchanged fire with the blocking column.

The two sides attacked each other with artillery across the Liaohe River and launched a fierce bombardment.

The intensity of the battle was no less than that of the encirclement and suppression battlefield.

The blocking troops were like two steel plates, blocking the route of the support troops, making it impossible for General Chen's four armies to advance.

The Liaohe River is a natural defense line. The National Army is on the east side of the Liaohe River, and Ding Wei's troops are on the west side of the Liaohe River.

At this time, Ding was only focused on one thing, which was to order the reconnaissance troops on the front line to search for a controllable bridge on the Liao River.

If the enemy's attack becomes fierce, blow up the bridge immediately.

Sniping + bridge bombing, the two buffs are stacked together. This time, three columns were dispatched to carry out the blocking, which was not much different from the Siping South blocking battle.

Trucks took turns transporting artillery shells to the front line. The artillery of Kong Jie and Kong Yong's columns were fully opened, and the mountain artillery and two howitzer battalions roared towards the other side of the Liaohe River.

Liao the Blind was so angry that he started cursing in the street.

"Only Ding Wei's column dared to engage in a one-on-one artillery attack with my New Sixth Army. Any other column would have been penetrated by me long ago."

The reinforcements attacked fiercely, but they could not break through the small line of defense.

This is not a blocking line, this is an insurmountable gap.

The firepower of the defenders was equally strong. The artillery pieces assigned to several columns roared, the muzzles heated up, and shells fell around the attacking forces.

The explosion caused fragments to fly and overturned a large area of ​​soil.

The roar of artillery became the mainstream of the battlefield. Wherever there was an attack, there would be artillery shells falling.

In terms of supporting firepower, the defenders have stronger firepower.

To force an advance under such circumstances would be to simply send our troops to their deaths.

The defenders have the advantage of fortifications, so they are naturally superior to the attackers. If they are matched with stronger counterattack firepower and firepower support.

Not to mention a new Sixth Army, even if there were a few more ace troops with the same combat effectiveness, it would be difficult to break through the defense line.

If you use human lives in piles, you must be prepared to wipe out an entire army.

There are a large number of rotary machine guns, water-cooled machine guns, and air-cooled heavy machine guns, and the Soviet rotary machine guns are very suitable for defense.

The magazine has a large ammunition supply, and a skilled light machine gunner can fire wherever his finger goes.

Dense bullets cover a range of one kilometer.

The defensive battle was fought with great success and the defensive positions were impenetrable.

They even brought in tanks to stabilize the position.

Blind Liao was a little desperate. How could he possibly break through it?

The blocking position was fine, but the column responsible for the encirclement and general attack had disagreements, and continuous attacks were blocked, resulting in heavy casualties among the troops.

A column commander found Brother Biao alone and asked him to withdraw from the battle.

The progress of encirclement and suppression of the New Fifth Army was halfway completed, and the enemy's will to hold on was tenacious.

Now that we have achieved a certain degree of enemy victory, we can consider a full retreat.

I don't know which column commander suggested this, but it did make Brother Biao waver. Should he continue to fight, or should he withdraw after getting some benefits?

Fight if you can, retreat if you can't. This has always been the principle of guerrilla tactics. It is about preserving the manpower and weakening the enemy through guerrilla warfare.

But we can't just engage in head-on confrontation and resort to guerrilla warfare.

How long can the National Army, with hundreds of thousands of troops, continue to fight relying on lukewarm guerrilla warfare?

We still have to fight a tough battle, and we have to fight it even if we have to grit our teeth.

Zhong Wei of the 5th Division requested to join the battle. The four columns had already surrounded the New Fifth Army and the blocking troops were fighting effectively. There was no need to talk about retreating at this time.

We must make a concerted effort to wipe out the New Fifth Army at all costs.

At times like this, we need people who dare to fight and fight to take the lead.

Ding Wei's attention was originally on the blocking battle, but when he learned that there was a problem in the encirclement and suppression operation in the rear, he immediately asked the general command headquarters about the situation.

After understanding the situation, his opinion was the same as that of Commander Zhong.

Anyone who dares to talk about retreating at this time will be harming the morale of the troops. The morale of the comrades is high, and we cannot retreat just because the attack is blocked.

Don't fight hard battles in the future, just retreat when you encounter trouble.

With Ding Wei's support, Brother Biao also made up his mind to hand over the 7th, 9th and 5th Divisions of the attacking force to the command of Commander Zhong.

As a division commander, he commands three divisions, which is the strength of a column.

The three divisions launched a fierce attack on the core force, while the remaining columns provided support and concentrated firepower cover.

The front line dug trenches and advanced to the enemy's positions. In just one hour, they reached the headquarters of the New Fifth Army and the 195th Division.

Sometimes victory may be just the finishing touch, but many people don't have the courage to take that step.

This fierce attack by Division Commander Zhong caught a big fish, capturing one army commander including Chen Linda, three division commanders and a deputy division commander, annihilated more than 3 enemies, and directly destroyed the command headquarters of the New Fifth Army.

The command post was breached and the soldiers who held on lost all desire to fight on.

Troops from all directions pressed forward towards Gongzhutun and completely defeated the New Fifth Army that night.

Four columns attacked the New Fifth Army and almost failed to defeat it.

A column that is afraid to fight tough battles will never become the main force.

Inside the Fengtian Headquarters, Commander Chen was so angry that he cursed loudly. The distance from Liaohe River to Gongzhuling was only more than 10 kilometers. Why didn't the two support troops arrive at the battlefield?

The New First Army, the New Sixth Army, the so-called five aces, are bullshit.

Blind Liao took the blame for this matter. Commander Chen carefully prepared a tactic to catch big fish, which caught four columns and dispatched troops from the four armies in the north and south to encircle them.

As long as they break through the blockade, they will be able to wipe out the invading forces from Gongzhutun.

It has to be a tactical issue, and the commander of the corps who carried out the execution has to take the blame.

The loss of an army's strength, with his status as Commander Chen, naturally did not need to be punished. But Niang Xipi still flew to Fengtian and summoned officers above the divisional level to give them a lecture.

The words of the lecture were very polite, and he walked away after scolding me.

The situation in the Northeast was becoming less favorable. Commander Chen's three attempts all ended in disastrous defeat, and if he continued to fight, he would be exposed.

At the same time, when Niang Xipi left, he set up the Jireliao Border Region Command Post in the Northeast. The purpose was self-evident. He was going to start micro-management and command.

Since the local governors are not capable, he has to worry about everything.

The New Fifth Army was annihilated, and several columns were enriched with American equipment. Ding Wei suggested concentrating the superior equipment and forming the 5th Column of the Manchurian Democratic Alliance Army based on the 12th Division.

The most appropriate person to be the commander of the column would be the commander of the 5th Division who made great contributions in the attack on Gongzhutun.

Brother Biao's many column commanders need an iron-blooded general who is brave enough to fight and establish a culture of fighting tough battles for the column.

After dealing with these, he rubbed his hands and checked the spoils of this ambush.
