Chapter 54 Ding Wei in action

Xingjia Village, Headquarters of the New First Regiment of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Ding Wei's regiment headquarters is a little far from the headquarters, so he received the order later than other brother troops.

But their location is relatively close to the brigade headquarters. While dispatching troops to prepare for departure, Ding Wei also sent his first battalion commander to the brigade headquarters to inquire about news.

Finally, the first battalion commander came back with information before the team set off.

"I heard from the brigade headquarters that our headquarters sent a small force to travel long distances to surprise a devil hospital and kidnap many devil doctors."

After Ding Wei heard the news, he was a little overwhelmed.Since this news came from the brigade department, it must not be based on rumors.

With a keen sense of the battlefield, he immediately returned to his regiment command post, unfolded the map on the table, and judged the current situation of friendly forces by analyzing the situation of the devils' garrison at various transportation points.

As a veteran with rich command experience, Ding Wei attaches great importance to the operation of his own territory.

It has been more than a month since he came to Xinyituan, and he has already become one with the major forces around him. If there is any trouble, Ding Wei will receive the news as soon as possible.

He looked at his first battalion commander and asked an intriguing question.

"Do you know who the commander of that small force is? How are they doing now?"

Hearing his regiment leader's question, the first battalion commander showed a startled expression, and hurriedly reported the important news he had inquired to Ding Wei.

"The commanders of that army are all your old acquaintances, Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong! It is said that they are still avoiding the pursuit of the devils, and they cannot be contacted at the headquarters."

"Hahaha, I should have guessed it a long time ago, only the two of them can do this kind of thing in a crazy and steady way."

Thinking of his old comrades in arms, Ding Wei showed an imperceptible smile.He pointed to the map in front of the first battalion commander, and after the other party looked at it for a while, he said:
"Judging from our own intelligence network, the devil's forces are gradually shrinking, and they are approaching our defense zone."

"This means that Li Yunlong and the others are coming towards us. As his old comrade-in-arms, I have to help him."

"Give me an order. This time I will personally lead a battalion to help Li Yunlong and the others break through. You take the map and go to the brigade headquarters again to tell the brigade commander what we think."

With the order issued, the war machine of Xinyituan began to operate in an orderly manner.

If the secret service company hadn't retreated towards Ding Wei's defense area, he would naturally be able to fully obey the order, and he didn't need to consume too much ammunition.

But now knowing that Li Yunlong and the others are likely to come from here, if they don't take radical actions in this situation, they will die without saving them.

Ding Wei, both public and private, could not make the devil feel better, so he led his troops to the nearest county town in the defense zone.

This is a town [-] kilometers away from the county seat. Because it is close to the scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army, the devils recently built a military depot in the town, in which a squadron of Japanese and puppet troops was stationed.

Once there is a battle between the nearby devils and the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese and puppet troops in this military station will dispatch support as soon as possible.

Ding Wei held up his binoculars and watched the enemies gathering in the town. They were fully armed and inspecting sidecar motorcycles.He smiled crookedly, with a slightly gloomy tone in his tone:
"Hey, it's better to come early than coincidentally. These devils are so vigilant now that they don't arrange vigilance."

In the woods behind him, more than 500 new regiment soldiers are hidden.

After the Battle of Cangyunling, although the new regiment was reduced in number, after Ding Wei took over, relying on Li Yunlong's reputation, he quickly replenished its troops.

After the soldiers recognized Ding Wei as the new regiment leader, the combat effectiveness of the whole regiment was even comparable to that of Li Yunlong.

As if he had guessed the arrangement of his head, a company commander tentatively asked:

"Regimental Commander, are you planning to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao? Attack the devil's military depot and attract devils from surrounding counties? Share the pressure with the old regimental commander?"

How to say Ding Wei is also a person who has studied hard. Although he didn't go to the rear, a simple idiom can't stop him.

"Yes, that's what it means. As long as we put enough pressure, Li Yunlong will have a chance to get out."

"And all the little devils in this military depot came out today. We can use this opportunity to make a big wave and see if we can hurt them all at once."

Putting down the telescope, he looked behind him:
"Don't move Wulian, you stay and deal with all emergencies, and the rest follow me from the left"

This time Ding Wei brought all his veterans, and almost every fighter is an experienced veteran.He divided everyone, except the artillery, into five groups.

This time, in order to save the old comrades in arms, and also to repay favors, Ding Wei took almost all the light machine guns of the whole regiment.

Of course, this light machine gun still includes Shao Sha, who Li Yunlong didn't return back then.Sometimes Ding Wei still wonders if this foreign thing is so rubbish that even the creditors have forgotten that there is such a thing.

More than 50 light machine guns can be consumed by almost all the machine gunners of the regiment. In this battle, the new regiment has truly achieved the decentralization of machine guns to the squad level.

Following Ding Wei's order, he led four companies around the jujube forest on the left, and went to the devil's military station.The reserve team that was left behind was not idle either, and some of them were assigned to watch around.

Ding Wei led his men to the edge of the woods, and ordered everyone to stop. It was less than 500 meters away from the devil's military station, and he ordered the artillerymen to set up the mortars.

"The artillery is ready, aim at the devil's three jumpers!"

Wang Chengzhu, who had just returned to the team after recovering from a serious illness, led his men to prepare for the battle.This time he not only got a promotion but also got a new gun, and it was an 82mm mortar with a gun mirror.

"Everyone listens to my orders. The artillery fires and immediately charges. When the enemy enters the range of the machine gun, they fire and aim at the point."

Ding Wei opened the nose of the shell gun in his hand, and the soldiers also checked the weapons in their hands.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops on the opposite side did not find them at all, and the efficiency was so slow that most people were still waiting for the order to start.

"Pillar! Fire!"

Accompanied by the firing sound of an 82mm mortar, the shells fired by Zhuzi himself stably hit the devil's motorcycle parked in the open space.

The explosion of motorcycles and artillery shells caused great casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops.

82 mm is no longer a light force, and the 3.8 kg shell is very powerful.It's a pity that the rate of fire of the mortar is not fast. Even if Wang Chengzhu uses it, eight rounds per minute is the limit.

The soldiers rushed to the enemy not far away with the mortars, and the machine gunners quickly started working.Facing the panicked enemies, they calmly searched for a suitable shooting angle on the spot, and locked their sights firmly on the enemy.

At the same time, the soldiers' rifles fired simultaneously.Under this distance, Xinyi Group achieved remarkable results, killing more than 20 devils in just the first wave of attacks.

There were no accidents in the battle. After paying the sacrifice of more than a dozen soldiers, the devils in the military depot were basically wiped out.

The fighting will of these devils is indeed remarkable, but Ding Wei and the others are even better.After seeing their master was killed, the puppet soldiers naturally ran and surrendered.

"Everyone quickly cleans the battlefield, counts and seizes!"

"We're pretty busy today."
