Bright Sword Rising from Picking Rewards

Chapter 135
When the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain began, Ding Wei was in the headquarters of his new regiment, not the 28th regiment. He also received the latest telegram from the headquarters, which asked him to lead the troops in person. Go to Zhongtiao Mountain to unite with the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas on that side to support the first theater of operations of the First Guard Commander.

The reason is that this time the Japanese army not only dispatched the 18th Division, but also the Japanese First Army troops also began to make pre-war preparations. In other words, the headquarters was worried about the Japanese troops this time. The combat operation not only targeted the troops in the first theater, but even all the Eighth Route Army troops were engaged in mopping up operations.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, the commander of the first war zone asked for support from their headquarters and the Yan'an side, because Yan Laoxi's troops did not intend to send troops to assist in the operation.

And once Zhongtiao Mountain falls under the iron heel of the Japanese army, it will be very detrimental to the current situation of the war of resistance.

So after the battle meeting was held at the headquarters, it was decided to send Ding Wei's new regiment to support the battle.

"Supporting the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain?"

"But I'm not familiar with the terrain on that side! Why did you send me there for no reason, instead of sending Li Yunlong, Cheng Xiazi and the others to attack?"

"Hey! Forget it, fortunately, the current new regiment is quite sufficient in terms of individual combat qualities, weapons, equipment and ammunition, and now the Japanese army only dispatches one division of troops!"

"There are so many Central Army troops on the other side of the first theater, and the guard commander seems to be a relatively good combat commander, so there shouldn't be any big problem!"

"Then go to that side first, join the Eighth Route Army troops there, and then discuss how to fight!"

After receiving the combat mission, Ding Wei thought quickly before making a decision.

However, after making the decision, he quickly personally asked the communications room to send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army on the other side of Zhongtiao Mountain to inquire about the terrain and fighting conditions on that side.

There is also a place to meet,
So that they can join there and fight against the incoming Japanese troops together.

After Ding Wei had a general understanding of the fighting situation on that side,

He also quickly led his new regiment, and the whole regiment went out to fight together.

And this time,
The 18th Division, which was approved by the Japanese base camp to expand its strength,

A reinforced artillery wing was quickly deployed, equipped with almost 20 105mm howitzers and almost 50 75mm field guns.

下属的4个步兵联队是主力，它们的全部装备是20多门92式步兵炮，92式重机枪过百挺，歪把子轻机枪和96式轻机枪共计700多挺，50毫米单兵掷弹筒600多具。

Although these grenades have a short range, they are the most important fire support weapon for the Japanese squad units. They are one of the ace weapons and equipment that cooperate with the infantry in offensive and defensive operations.

此外，4个步兵联队还有37门反坦克炮25门，75毫米山炮28门。

There are more than 3 troops, all of whom are elite devil officers and soldiers, and most of them are veterans of the battlefield.

It can be seen that this time the Japanese base camp attaches great importance to the operation to clear Zhongtiao Mountain.
The elite Japanese troops commanded by Colonel Yamazaki Shiro of the 55th Infantry Regiment are also advancing in frontline operations.

Wherever they went, they almost used a sweeping combat posture to defeat all the Central Army troops that blocked them, sweeping across the battlefield like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"Yo Xi! These so-called Central China Army are actually so vulnerable!"

"It really disappoints me. There is not even a single unit that can fight!"

"Give me an order to encircle and annihilate the entire Chinese infantry division in front of us before the sun goes down!"

"Let them see how powerful our imperial army is!"

"In particular, we must let them know that the strong combat capabilities displayed by our 55th Regiment are not something they can resist tenaciously!"

"Give me more strength to attack!"

"Kill it!"

Looking at his 55th Infantry Regiment, seemingly invincible, sweeping across the national army troops on the front he was assigned to,
Colonel Shiro Yamazaki of the 55th Infantry Regiment's inner self-confidence swelled greatly.

And he plans to go out in one go to fight and annihilate all his opponents.
So he was very high-spirited, and issued a time-limited combat order.

"Hay!"

"Hay!"

"Hay!"

All the Japanese officers around him immediately nodded loudly in agreement.

As his combat order was issued, the fighting spirit of the entire 55th Infantry Regiment immediately rose and boiled, preparing to launch the most ferocious general offensive.

But at this moment,
The buzzing sound of the aircraft engine immediately reached the sky above their heads, roaring continuously.

The JU88 bombers and FW-190 fighter jets sent by He Xiaoyang to attack soon came into sight of these Japanese soldiers.
